When Gu Shiwei opened her eyes, she transformed into a vicious and ruthless ancient peasant widow with three stepchildren waiting to be fed.
Legend has it that she was extremely powerful. She insulted her parents-in-law, beat her brothers and sisters-in-law, and exchanged her stepdaughter for food. Externally, she beat villagers and beat up bandits and refugees.
Gu Shiwei looked at the troubled times in front of her, where there were many wars and no stable place to live, and she decided to continue to carry forward her original "ruthlessness".
But before she could use her skills, she was caught by a nobleman and worked as a cook.
In order to stop running around for three meals, Gu Shiwei put away her sharp edge and lived in the nobleman's kitchen to support her three children.
Just lingering, she noticed that something was wrong with the way a certain noble man looked at her, and she was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.
Unexpectedly, a certain nobleman was one step ahead of her, forced her into a corner, and smiled half-heartedly at her: "Woman, you hide yourself so well. You write, do accounts, see a doctor, and even cultivate a good field. Tell me, what else can you do?"
When Gu Shiwei saw that her little secret had been discovered, she smiled at the noble man and pretended to be stupid, "Sir, you misunderstood. These are just tricks used by civilian women to make ends meet."
It's a pity that a certain young master didn't believe it at all, so he specially conferred an official position on her to manage farming and planting.
Gu Shiwei was pushed out of the market, but she lived up to expectations. In just three years, relying on what she had learned in her previous life, she led many people to farm scientifically, from scratch, to grain production rising steadily, and to a sufficient state treasury, making everyone happy.
On this day, a certain young man found Gu Shiwei who was busy and said, "Weiwei, you don't want to farm anymore. Come back to Beijing with me to get married."
Gu Shiwei said, "Master, I am a widow. It is not appropriate for me to marry you."
