To be honest, judging from the recollection, the original owner did play some tricks on this marriage, which was a bit unethical.
Chen Bingxue had clearly told her that she liked the future Earl. The original owner had the same thoughts, but did not say it out loud. Instead, she agreed to be a "red warbler" for others.
The results of it?
As a result, I found an opportunity and met the future earl first.
When Uncle Yao saw that his mother was distracted, he did not dare to disturb her and waited patiently beside her.
After a while, Gu Qingling came back to her senses and asked firmly: "You just said that the old lady of the Ma family in Yunyang comes from the Chen family in the capital, and her maiden name is Bingxue, right?"
"Yes, mother. They said that when Miss Chen married into the Ma family, the older generation were still surprised. They didn't understand how a daughter of a dignified official could marry the son of an unknown businessman. At that time, Chen
The young lady's maiden name is famous in Yunyang City, and everyone of the older generation knows it..." Uncle Yao noticed something was wrong with his mother's expression, and asked, "Mom, what's wrong, do you think this person is?"
"Well! If Mrs. Ma is really her, I'm afraid we would have been targeted when we entered Yunyang City." After a pause, Gu Qingling said, "She used to be my close friend."
Uncle Yao's eyes widened: "What?! If that's the case, then... then why did she set a trap for the second brother?"
"She wanted to marry your father, but I ended up marrying her instead."
In one sentence, Uncle Yao's mouth was blocked.
Well, he didn't expect that when his father was young, he was so charming and suave that people would remember him.
Uncle Yao did not dare to ask why it was his mother who married in later. He could guess it. The Yao family was still very prosperous at that time, so it was not surprising that someone wanted to marry into the Yao family.
In this case, if you are more jealous, you will find that you did not get married, but it was your handkerchief who got married...
His mother had been married into the Yao family for so many years, and Uncle Yao didn't even know that his mother still had such an "old friend" in Yunyang City. His mother didn't seem to know that she had married into the Ma family, and she was "on bad terms" at first glance.
"Ahem!" Uncle Yao coughed twice and asked a little embarrassedly, "Then, what should we do now? I'm afraid I have to give away these one thousand taels of gold no matter what, but our family doesn't have that much money."
The news was found out, and the result was even more desperate.
Let’s not talk about who is behind the Ma family in Yunyang. Even if the old lady has a conflict with his mother, don’t even think about this matter being “good”.
Gu Qingling did not answer in a hurry and said, "Didn't you just say that those people wanted to hear about the Twelve Flower Fairies with you?"
Uncle Yao nodded, but he didn't understand. He was talking about money. Why did his mother bring this up?
Gu Qingling said this in his ear.
Uncle Yao's eyes opened wider and wider, and he was shocked: "Really or not?! Mom, you..."
"No matter if it's true or not, you have to give it a try, right?" Gu Qingling looked calm and poured a cup of tea for her son.
Uncle Yao was so confused that he completely forgot about his manners and just lost his temper.
"What if," Uncle Yao said, "I mean, if, what if, by then, we can't get so much money?"
"Then we have no choice but to use the land deed at home as payment." Gu Qingling looked up at the house and said, "When we originally bought this yard, we spent three to four thousand taels of silver, plus the money from the capital.
The old house, those worthless manors..."
Gu Qingling did some calculations and said that although the Yao family didn't have that much money in their accounts, they could still get a thousand taels of gold by selling all the money they could.
After all, they would all be "penniless" and have no choice but to live a miserable life.
Gu Qingling patted Uncle Yao on the shoulder: "If we really get to that point, we can only do this. No matter what, we can't just leave your second brother alone? What's more..."
"Besides, do you think this matter is really just your second brother's business? It's the Yao family they want to plot against. It doesn't make any difference if it's your second brother or someone else."
"Instead of ruining the family because of these extraneous talents, it is better to lose money and avoid disaster. As long as the family is safe, there is no obstacle that we cannot overcome."
…
These words did not comfort Uncle Yao, but they made him faintly realize that his mother did not seem to be the kind of woman who could not "share weal and woe".
It was also at this moment that he felt every time that the distance between him and his mother was not as far as he imagined.
Maybe she is really partial to Mr. Yao, but she has not completely forgotten his son.
"Mom, don't worry, I will handle this matter beautifully and I will never let you down." Uncle Yao couldn't help but give Gu Qingling a guarantee.
"I believe you!" Lu Qingling patted Uncle Yao on the shoulder with a look of belief.
In fact, she didn't understand the original owner. What a good son Uncle Yao was, but the original owner actually disliked him?
In the memory of the original owner, Uncle Yao was not a filial son, and he even ignored her at all. It was because of this that when the Yao family wanted to move back to their ancestral home, it was just because Uncle Yao suggested that it be moved back to their ancestral home.
It was directly rejected by the original owner.
Later, the original owner came up with the following reason - the Yao family was staying well in the capital, and it would be embarrassing to go back to the capital like this. It would be better to find a place closer, and wait until the Yao family's reputation is restored.
Uncle Yao: "..."
Gu Qingling could completely imagine that Uncle Yao must have been heartbroken when he heard such words.
The original owner only thought that the eldest son was raised by the Marquise and was not close to her, but she never thought about whether she had fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother?
Of course, now was not the time to deal with these old accounts. Gu Qingling handed over the "auction" plan to Uncle Yao and asked him to ask shopkeeper Yuan of Rouge Shop for help.
Yes, that's right, it's the rouge shop that the original owner secretly opened before.
It was also at this time that Uncle Yao knew: My mother opened a rouge shop?
When he stood at the door of this crowded rouge shop, looking at the customers coming and going inside, he still couldn't believe it: didn't it mean that all Yao's shops were losing money?
Because of the loss, I sold a lot when I moved, and then I was able to collect the money to buy a house in Yunyang City.
But now, his mother gave him a shop that wasn't even on the Yao family's books?
Moreover, it seems to be quite profitable?
Uncle Yao was not sure if other members of the Yao family knew. He stood at the door for a while, then went to the teahouse opposite and asked the boy Chongfeng to invite shopkeeper Wu.
Regardless of why the rouge shop was not in the Yao family’s books, Uncle Yao decided that since it was not there, he would not put it back.
If something happens to the Yao family, maybe this is the Yao family's last escape route.
Sitting in the box, Uncle Yao drank tea quietly. After a while, shopkeeper Wu appeared in front of him.
"I've met you, good day, sir." Shopkeeper Wu saluted and looked at the new master secretly.
