Chapter 722 The Number One Scholar’s ​​Foster Mother 2

Jiang Wenzhi looked at her mother-in-law's caring face, her heart warmed, and her eyes turned red, "Okay, just listen to mother."

She understood that her mother-in-law was doing this for her own good, and because of her caring attitude towards her, Jiang Wenzhi couldn't help but want to contribute more to the family and treat her husband better.

In the five years since she married into the Shao family, her mother-in-law has always treated her very well, like a biological mother, and has never criticized her loudly; she has never interfered in her and her husband's affairs when it was inconvenient for her.

She wanted to take a concubine for her husband; because of her jealousy, she had been unwilling to arrange a concubine for her husband in the past five years, and she had never scolded her even a single word. She was really lucky to have such a mother-in-law.

Jiang Wenzhi's grateful response was simple and undeniable, and he smiled calmly while leaning on the little man in his arms.

She knew that Jiang Wenzhi was not serious about his promise and would not take it seriously. She would probably continue to do that in the future and would not stop until Shao Qijun won the Jinshi.

But it’s okay, Shao Qijun has already won the lottery. After the official messenger comes to report the good news in two days, wealthy businessmen will soon come to present gifts. If we hold the wedding banquet, we will get a lot of gifts. By then, our family will be rich.

And with status, Jiang Wenzhi would no longer think about selling embroidery to make money just for the sake of Shao Qijun's face.

The facts are indeed as expected by Jian Yi. Shao Qijun won the imperial examination this time, which made the Shao family's family wealth much thicker.

That day, after Shao Qijun was accepted as a disciple by Yin Yiming, the Master and Minister of Etiquette, at the Luming Banquet in public, he happily rushed back to Qianxi Village to discuss with the original owner the formal matters of becoming a master and inviting him to the banquet.

At that time, the good news of Shao Qijun's high school education had already spread back, and the clan leader had already arranged the ancestor worship banquet and was waiting for the protagonist to return.

There is some truth in the old saying, "A poor scholar makes a rich man."

Shao Qijun won the election as soon as he arrived, and he was still the number one Jieyuan. It was obvious that he was a promising man. People from the tribe, squires, and officials from a radius of ten miles came to have banquets, offered generous gifts, and tried to build a good relationship.

When you get rich, you don't ask for attention and support, but you ask for not being able to wear small shoes and suffer hardship.

Over and over again, the Shao family's meager wealth suddenly became richer. There were so many gold and silver belongings, rare objects, and precious calligraphy and painting pens that Jian Jian specially cleaned out two rooms to serve as warehouses, so that he could completely

Under the fortress; hundreds of acres of fertile farmland have been harvested; there are dozens of shops with a prosperous business; three Zhuangzi buildings with stable output; one house each in the county and capital; and three beautiful concubines.

Here, Jian Yi and Shao Qijun pushed and pushed again and again, and only accepted after careful consideration.

After all, sometimes for certain people, only by accepting their things, accepting their confessions and good intentions can they feel at ease, appear to be close to each other, have opportunities to interact with each other in the future, and not appear unkind.

, so that people don’t dare to come close to it.

In addition, the reason why Shao Qijun's wedding banquet can achieve such benefits is that Shao Qijun has won the favor of Yin Yiming, the Minister of Rites, and was accepted as a disciple. He will soon hold a grand apprenticeship banquet on an auspicious day in the capital, which attracts interested people.

There are so many people, and the shots are so generous.

After being picked up at the airport, Jian Jian took a good look at Shao Qijun. He was indeed a handsome and well-behaved talent. No wonder he was able to charm the high-ranking daughter Yin Jiayi into a dizzy state. She gave up the reserved reputation of her daughter's family in this era.

You must marry him if you are in trouble.

But despite the fact that he looks like a dog on the outside, he has been dark inside for more than ten years. He has been filial and kind to Jian Jian these days since he came back, and kowtows in pain. How can he finally honor his ancestors and be worthy of the training of Shao Yaozhong and the original owner?

He spent every morning and night, caring about eating, dressing, and sleeping. He was so inconsiderate. It was very tiring to treat such a filial son like a filial son. He had to act with him every day.

He was also very affectionate towards his beloved wife and young son, and within a few moments he told them that there was no one else but him in their hearts.

For this man to be a good son, husband, and father, who would have thought that he would end up taking the lives of three people close to him for the sake of the power of his wife's family and a prosperous official career.

After the ancestor worship banquet, the Shao family began to arrange their household chores and pack their bags. Soon, they would take a boat north to settle in the capital.

On the Nanling Pier, Jian Yi stood beside Shao Qijun, Jiang Wenzhi and his family. He looked at Shao Qijun's old father-in-law, Jiang Xiucai, holding Shao Qijun's hand tightly, and asked Shao Qijun to treat him well.

His daughter; Yue's mother-in-law pleadingly hoped that Shao Qijun would be able to help her daughter in everything; the two brothers-in-law patted their shoulders politely and told Shao Qijun to always treat their sisters well.

Shao Qijun sincerely acknowledged the Yue family's high expectations and said hello repeatedly, which made Jiang Wenzhi and the Jiang family red-eyed again and their voices choked with sobs.

Watching this scene, Jian Yi felt complicated, and she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with Shao Qijun, this scumbag.

This scene also happened in the original plot, and Shao Qijun also fully responded to the Yue family's high expectations, with a sincere attitude and a moving expression.

However, his promise turned out to be bullshit. Within a year of coming to Beijing, Jiang Wenzhi and Shao Yuheng, who had promised to be treated well and kindly, as well as the original owners, lost their lives.

Two months later, an ordinary blue carriage slowly arrived at the gate of the capital city. When it was approaching the city gate, a young man in Confucian robes got out of the carriage and handed over documents such as his birthplace, name card, pass, etc.

Check with the guard at the gate.

The soldier looked through them one by one. After confirming his identity, his frozen face suddenly wrinkled. He smiled kindly and said: "Shao Jieyuan, I've been waiting for you. Please hurry up and invite me. The attendants from the Yin Mansion who came to receive you are already waiting.

It’s been a while, I’ll take you there.”

The young man in Confucian robes, who was the receptionist that Shao Qijun mentioned in his teacher Yin Yiming's letter, was already waiting for him again. He was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly stuffed a small purse into the soldier's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you very much. I don't have to bother you anymore."

The soldier took the purse and diligently walked forward to guide Shao Qijun and the carriage driver to the nearest restaurant behind the city gate, where he replaced the steward of the Yin Mansion.

The steward heard that Shao Qijun's family was coming, and he hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute, "Master Shao, I am Fuquan, the steward of the minister's house. You have worked hard all the way."

When Shao Qijun heard that the person who came to receive him was the housekeeper of the house, he felt anxious. He couldn't help but sigh that the teacher treated him with such courtesy.

Sitting in the carriage without showing his face, Jian Yan looked through the carriage and was quite surprised when he heard that the person coming was the housekeeper. Yin Yiming valued Shao Qijun.

You must know that Yin Yiming is a third-rank official, while Shao Qijun is just an ordinary farmer's son. The status gap is not as big as clouds, but it is not much different.

Normally, to receive the student Shao Qijun and his family, it would be enough to assign an ordinary steward from the outer courtyard. It does not have to be an outside housekeeper who welcomes and sees off important guests.

Even though Shao Qijun is young, he looks like a promising person.

After all, these days, there are too many young people with unrecognized talents and failed attempts.

Even if Shao Qijun successfully passed the Jinshi examination, wouldn't he still be a junior official in the Hanlin Academy with no roots and no foundation?

What is this place in the capital worth?
