Chapter 285 Su Yueling is no longer the king of Weiguo
Marrying a young and pretty wife, and the daughter of a wealthy family member, even if she was just a concubine, was enough for Deng Guangliang to be proud of.
Hearing the congratulations from the people in his ears and bathing in their envious gazes, his whole body felt elated.
Especially his wife, who is not as illiterate as Wang Jia, and can also fiddle with pen and ink, adding fragrance to his red sleeves. When Fang Huanniang came in, she brought a dowry of fifty acres and two shops, one house in the city and two houses in the city. This dowry
I don't know how much more glamorous it was than when Wang Jia entered the house. Fang Huanniang also brought a dowry maid into the house. The dowry maid had a cute and naive temperament, which made him quite moved.
But claiming to be a gentleman, Deng Guangliang couldn't accept his wife's dowry maid just after she entered the house. He had to wait until his wife was pregnant. For a virtuous and virtuous woman like Huan Niang, when she was pregnant, she would definitely
Taking the initiative to show favor to the dowry maid.
Huan Niang also said that she would give him one tael of silver every month from now on. With money in hand, he no longer needs to reach out to his wife all day long. If he is from a wealthy family, he knows etiquette and is reasonable.
All these made Deng Guangliang extremely satisfied with his wife.
Fortunately, he and Wang Jiahe divorced, otherwise how could he have found such a good marriage.
It wasn't until he met Huan Niang that he felt that his life had not been in vain, and he wished he could stay with Fang Huan Niang for the rest of his life.
Then Wang Jia, if she knew that he and Huan Niang were married, she would definitely regret it. As an abandoned woman, how good would her life be after leaving him? She might be crying silently now. Unfortunately, it is too late for her to regret it now.
, he will not wait for her where he is. Then Wang Jia will be miserable and helpless for the rest of his life, only in this way can the hatred in his heart be relieved.
Deng Guangliang imagined that scene and felt more comfortable.
He walked out of the house and was about to go to a friend's house to sit. When he passed two women, he seemed to hear Wang Jia's name.
"Is this true? Then Wang Jia really gave forty taels to her parents' family?"
"It's absolutely true. My uncle's son-in-law lives near the Wang family. This is something the Wang family personally admits. How can it be false?"
Forty taels?
Deng Guangliang turned his head subconsciously and stopped. He saw that it was his two old neighbors who were talking about this. His feet seemed to have a consciousness of their own, and he couldn't help walking in front of them, with an expression on his face that he didn't even notice.
The arrival was cold, "What were you talking about just now?"
The two women who were chatting were startled when they saw his expression. They couldn't help but pat their chests, "Why are you looking like this? Are you trying to scare people to death?"
Deng Guangliang realized that he had lost his composure, adjusted his expression, and tried to pretend to be friendly, "I thought I heard you talking about my ex-wife just now."
The woman in green coarse cloth spoke with a bit of excitement as if watching a good show, "Yes, it turns out that Wang Jia can make money so much. I heard that her embroidery work was so bright that the country man took a fancy to her and specially paid for her to do the embroidery work."
Wang Jia can earn a hundred taels a year. She went back to her parents’ home the day before yesterday and gave her 40 taels as a gift to build a house and buy fields for her family.”
"Oh, if I could have such a capable daughter, I wouldn't mind even if all the children were girls."
Deng Guangliang's face was ashen - earning a hundred taels a year? How valuable is Wang Jia's embroidery work?
Didn’t her eyes fail a long time ago and she couldn’t do much embroidery work?
"I heard that before I reconciled with you, Wang Jia earned at least forty taels a year. No wonder you were able to wear fine cotton and occasionally silk and satin before you passed the exam."
"You really can't help her. It's all thanks to her that you were able to pass the examination. Otherwise, how could you have the money to buy those pens, inks, paper and inkstones?"
As a result, now that he was admitted to the exam, Wang Jia was treated harshly. Wang Jia was so troubled that he would rather not be the wife of the exam, but also want to reconcile. People have such skills, no wonder they are not afraid of reconciliation.
People who thought Wang Jia was stupid before immediately changed their minds. In their hearts, they couldn't help but feel that Deng Guangliang was unkind and ungrateful.
Deng Guangliang opened his mouth. If he knew that Wang Jianeng was making so much money, how could he divorce?
Even Huan Niang couldn't give him one hundred taels a year for his expenses.
He could only comfort himself that Wang Jia would not be able to do this embroidery job for a few years, and sooner or later her eyes would be damaged and she would become blind. Moreover, she was not literate and had no common topics with him. How could she be as knowledgeable and knowledgeable as Huan Niang?
When Su Yueling gets tired of her embroidery work, that's when she will suffer.
Deng Guangliang, who was originally able to get one or two months of money every month, was suddenly overshadowed by his joy after learning about Wang Jia's income.
And Su Yueling.
She might have deliberately been against him, but Wang Jia suddenly broke up with her after leaving her.
But for such a restless woman, so many people praised her. He couldn't even say bad things about her in front of others, otherwise he would be spat in the face.
"I really envy Wang Jia for being able to meet Mr. Wei Guoxiang."
"You are one step behind in the news. Su Yueling is no longer the monarch of Weiguo." A woman who came back from the city corrected her after hearing their conversation.
Deng Guangliang suddenly turned his head and looked at the woman, "Isn't he the king of Weiguo? Has she been demoted?"
This is really great. Does someone like Su Yueling deserve to be a township monarch? She is even more unworthy of the title of Weiguo. When he thinks that she will be unlucky, Deng Guangliang's anger just now disappears.
"She has been canonized as the county king by the saint, and she is also entitled to the food of 500 households in the town."
"Speaking of which, the method of sprouting bean sprouts that she taught us is really convenient. We will have fresh vegetables to eat in the winter."
"Hey, why did Deng Juren faint?"
Deng Guangliang was so angry that he fainted from the news.
…
The news that Su Yueling was canonized as county king quickly spread throughout Guangning County and spread to the surrounding areas.
Unlike others who were excited, Su Yueling was very calm now.
She had already guessed that the emperor would definitely reward her, but she didn't expect that the other party would use bean sprouts as the reason.
The title is secondary to her. She is more concerned about the rewards sent to her. She likes several of them very much. I heard that these are all selected by the Queen Mother herself. The Queen Mother has a discerning mind, and all the gifts are of high quality.
.
For example, the narcissus bonsai carved from mutton-fat white jade was so clever and exquisite that she immediately had it placed in her house.
She pointed at the shiny gold satin and said, "This satin will definitely look good when used to make embroidered shoes. Make me some pairs of embroidered shoes."
"If it gets dirty, you can throw it away at any time."
The Wu family is in the fabric business, and Wu Shu is naturally no stranger to gold-plated satin. Because of its scarcity and beauty, this item is expensive, and every inch of cloth is worth a lot of money.
She remembered that there was a princess in the capital who loved glittering gold satin very much.
The corners of her lips curled up, "Okay, let the embroidery lady make some pairs of embroidered shoes for you."
Yuan Baoshu also came over to take a look at the legendary golden satin. The satin was so shiny that it seemed to glow, and the patterns on it were even more lifelike.
Seeing that Su Yueling seemed to really like the satin, she wondered whether she should study how to make it.
She asked Wu Shu, "Where did this shiny gold satin come from?" She could recruit talents!
"I remember it was Li Guo."
The country of Li is quite far away from them. Moreover, it is from another country, so it is very difficult to poach people.
Yuan Baoshu felt a little regretful - it would be great if Li country also belonged to Daxia.
