Gu Tingcan, the daughter of Xiao Qin, Gu Yankai's most beloved concubine.
There is no such character in the TV series. But because in the original novel, this character is very "borrowed", so I want to write her this pen.
She ended up in a tragic end, being locked up by Princess Gyeongchang in a cold and damp house like a haunted house, where only a few mute women with strange temperaments guarded her. According to her temperament, in such an environment, it is difficult for her to live.
Why did Gu Tingye ignore her?
Because, she was a woman with the same snake and scorpion heart as Xiao Qin, and she was bent on putting Gu Tingye to death. It's just that Xiao Qin still has a brain and a plan, and Gu Tingcan only learned Xiao Qin's heart, but he didn't learn Xiao Qin's methods.
Sister Rong of the Gate Tiger is only a concubine of unknown origin in Gu Province, while Gu Tingcan is a big lady from the Hou Mansion, who is loved by thousands of people, and when she was young, she was not much different from the status of the old lady of the Sheng family. With such a noble status, she also married very well. She married the son of Princess Gyeongchang. The concubine of the HouFu has become a relative of the emperor and the state, and if she can carry it a little bit, she will not have such a tragic ending.
Unfortunately, she has always been like a child, squandering her life opportunities at will. Why would a Concubine of the Hou Dynasty look so "unbearable"? This stems in large part from her "strange" parents.
Sheng Minglan's evaluation of Gu Yankai is "lack of heart and eyes".
He knew that the Great Qin clan could not be a clan wife, but he preferred to marry back home. He felt that he had pursued great love, but in fact, the Great Qin Clan had never really loved him at all. The Great Qin clan is his "cinnabar mole", and he is just the "stepping stone" of the Great Qin clan.
Gu Tingcan's husband Han Cheng's evaluation of Gu Yankai's "absurd" love is: "When your father met the daughter of the Qin family, it was the mold that fell for eight lifetimes!" Almost made no heirs, and at the end of the family was ruined, and the decades-old mansion called your third brother a fire! Although I did not show up, I did not dare to learn from my father-in-law. ”
In ancient times, a man who wanted to support the entire family completely ignored the family for his own love. And the Great Qin Clan knew that Gu Yankai wanted to support his entire family, but he didn't think about him at all, only wanted him to coax himself, hold himself, and even ask him to fight against the whole world for himself, not filial piety to his parents, in order to show her Qin family's ability.
Gu Yankai would not be at the mercy of a Great Qin Clan if he had a little heart. But unfortunately, Gu Yankai was partially lacking in heart and eyes, and for the sake of the Great Qin Clan, he disregarded his parents, disregarded his own concubine status, and even disregarded the inheritance of his heirs.
He just likes it, and for his own liking, he doesn't care about anything. But in a big family like Houfu, he can't just like it, but also have to take responsibility. In the end, he gave up the Great Qin clan for the sake of the family.
The Great Qin Clan had become a tragedy. But Gu Yankai created a second tragedy. He carefully cultivated the second Great Qin Clan, Gu Tingcan.
When Gu Tingcan was a child, he only looked like the Great Qin Clan, but his temperament was not like the Great Qin Clan. However, under Gu Yankai's expectations, she began to unconsciously imitate the Great Qin Clan that had died. When Gu Tingcan "played" the person of the Great Qin Clan, Gu Yankai was obedient to her. His obedience made Gu Tingcan feel that it was unnecessary to learn anything, housekeeper, embroidery, cooking, and nothing. As long as she she sheds tears and pretends to be Great Qin, she can get everything she wants.
But didn't Gu Yankai ever think that the Great Qin Clan could not bear the clan wife? What if Gu Tingcan grew up to be like the Great Qin Clan and couldn't marry? You must know that no one in the Great Qin clan dared to marry until he was eighteen years old, and he himself was a big fool, threatening with his own life, forcing his parents to accept the Great Qin clan that "good people can't accept".
If Gu Tingcan can't meet such a big fool as him, then how to entrust him for life. Obviously, Gu Yankai did not think about his daughter's future at all, he only wanted to see others and think of others, and satisfy his "selfishness".
Such a father is so dimwitted.
The second is: her "selfish" mother, Xiao Qinshi.
Even if Gu Yankai was so dim-witted, Gu Tingcan's biological mother Xiao Qin was still extremely selfish.
When she found Gu Yankai looking at Gu Tingcan's other eyes, she not only did not stop it, she also pushed it. Because, she found that when she had something she couldn't do, as long as her daughter Gu Tingcan went to ask Gu Yankai, Gu Yankai would immediately agree.
She tasted the sweetness of Gu Tingcan's imitation of the Great Qin Clan, so she still cultivated her daughter in the direction of the Great Qin Clan when she knew that the Great Qin Clan was not liked by all in-laws.
She also instilled some of the tricks of the Great Qin clan's "calculation" Gu Yankai as an "inspirational legend" to her daughter Gu Tingcan.
Hadn't she thought about Gu Tingcan's future?
Which family's mother-in-law likes the daughter-in-law of the Great Qin clan, and how many men can be as "heartless and eyeless" as Gu Yankai. As a mother, she does not teach her daughter to be a housekeeper, does not teach her daughter any way to survive, but only teaches her daughter to imitate a woman who is not favored by all in-laws. How ignorant.
In a way, she was not as good as the stupid Wang Ruofu. Wang Ruofu at least knew that the beloved son of his parents would have a profound plan. Even if she loves the little girl Sheng Rulan again, but scolding and coaxing and cheating, she let the little girl Sheng Rulan be able to manage, embroider, cook, and be a good hand inside and out.
But what about Xiao Qin?
Blindly letting her daughter help herself compete for favors, she has never cared about her future. How selfish.
Under the careful cultivation of his parents, Gu Tingcan, who grew up like a petite woman, was completely unaware of the difficulties of marriage. Just thinking of repeating The "Love Legend" of the Great Qin Clan.
Gu Tingcan was not the Great Qin clan, but he was "forced" by his parents to learn the Great Qin clan, and the tiger did not become an anti-dog, and became a Gu Tingcan who "never grew up".
Sheng Changfeng's wife Liu Shi was considered to be lowly married, but in order to win her husband's heart, she sang a red face and a white face, connecting the old lady of the Sheng family and Sheng Xuan, and completely caged her husband around herself.
And Gu Tingcan is a high marriage, after she married, one does not honor the in-laws, the second does not co-opt the husband, the third does not think about the heirs, just like the Great Qin clan, let her husband "coax" himself, "hold" himself, with his own wind and snow, do not consider what economic career.
Of course, she can't be blamed entirely. Who made her biological parents regard the Great Qin clan as a model of a "good woman".
The Great Qin clan was not filial to the in-laws, and they fainted before they could wait for the in-laws to eat half a meal. Coupled with Gu Yankai's cooperation of this "lack of heart". When the Great Qin clan arrived at the Gu family, they did not honor their in-laws and only talked about the wind and flowers and the snow and the moon.
Gu Tingcan learned from the same, but also waited for a meal to get sick, asked a doctor, and directly made the in-laws angry and half dead.
What's even more unfortunate is that her mother-in-law is a princess, and her husband is not "short of heart and eyes". His husband asked her to honor her in-laws like a normal woman, and then she took out the brilliant achievements of her great aunt Daqin: "Sanlang's fierce heart, such a hot day, you know that I have always been weak, and you forced me to do this and that against the sun." Do you want me to die? Dare to love you under the heavens as a great filial piety, not only do you have a mother, you also have a wife! My father is older than you can, and he knows that he hurts my great aunt and is willing to do anything for his wife. After a hundred years of cultivation, I am the person you should cherish the most. I only know that blindly filial piety, do not care about the pain of my wife at all, what a man you are! ”
Poor Han Cheng, the princess's son, is not yet a clumsy child, a very self-motivated young man, but he wants his wife to honor his parents like a normal woman, and he is scolded by his wife for being like this.
What is even more frightening is that such an angry scolding is not once, but at any time. His wife did not want any family to prosper at all, let alone the future of her husband, and only wanted him to be like his "heartless" father-in-law, holding his wife, coaxing his wife, and it was best not to even want the whole family for his wife.
But Gu Tingcan's mother-in-law is not the generous Mrs. Gu, but a shrewd and powerful princess of the dynasty.
Gu Tingcan did not learn from The Great Qin's "QingGao And Delicate" as he learned from the Family, but he learned the "selfish hypocrisy" of the Great Qin Clan to the Home. The Great Qin Clan only cared about itself, and never cared about the lives and deaths of the slaves around them. Before she died, in order to add to the blockage for the people who came after her, she pointed out one of her own beards to Gu Yankai, but the beard had already said that she had already done her thing.
Gu Tingcan was the same way, for his own sake, he didn't care at all about the life and death of Ya Gui. Her mane is almost 30 years old, she still does not let go, someone took the initiative to say kiss to her mane, she also refused.
She wanted to be a Great Qin Clan, but her servant didn't want to end up in a miserable end. Gu Tingcan finally wanted to avenge his mother, and Gu Tingye took a copy, which was taken down by Princess Qingchang in one fell swoop and locked up.
And her husband didn't protect her.
At the end of this post, I want to write a woman's premarital instructions: don't be naïve and delusional, let men coax you for a lifetime. Because there are too few men like Gu Yankai who "lack heart and eyes".
Most men love you, conditionally. If you want men to love you enough, then you have to have the conditions for men to love you enough.
What you should understand more is that a man's love is volatile. He's not just your husband, he's someone else's son, he's also the father of a child. No man can care about anything and only care about you all his life. Therefore, instead of expecting men to coax you all your life, you should learn that no matter what kind of men you meet, you love yourself and live well yourself.
If you do meet a man who only coaxes you, stay away from him.
Gu Yankai only coaxed his daughter-in-law, completely unaware of his family's long-term worries. As soon as the building was about to fall, he was unable to support the entire family, but pulled in a poor Bai clan.
A man who only knows how to talk to his wife and completely ignores right and wrong, such a man is not worth entrusting for life.
Sheng Changbai said that right and wrong come first, and love and righteousness come later.
Gu Yankai was swayed by the love in his heart, confused for a lifetime, killed three wives, and also tired future generations.
Such a man is not a good match.
Gu Tingye's suffering, Gu Tingcan's death, and Gu Yankai all have unshirkable responsibilities.
