Chapter 127 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (14)
"Ms. Gu, this is our wife. She heard that you are a chaste woman and admired you very much, so she came to visit you!"
The shopkeeper led Mrs. Cui to visit Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng had already been helped up to the second floor by the waiter and sat on the chair by the window.
"Our wife"?
Didn't say whose wife it was specifically.
But who is Gu Qingcheng?
Sharp and wise.
There is no need to ask specifically, just use your brain to guess and you will know——
It would be impossible to open such a large-scale silver building in the most prosperous area of the county without some backing!
And in the county town, which female family member has more status and is more worthy of flattery than the wife of the county magistrate.
Whether it was the merchants themselves who came to deliver shares, or whether the county magistrate's wife secretly ordered someone to open it, this silver house must have something to do with the most distinguished woman in the county.
It was precisely with these considerations in mind that after Gu Qingcheng came to the Silver Building and angered his concubine, he did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the Silver Building to "wait and wait".
Originally, Gu Qingcheng was still thinking that after he offended his concubine, he was so frightened that he felt helpless, like a headless fly, begging and asking questions when he reached the back office of the magistrate's office.
Then he attracted the attention of the magistrate's wife.
Now, it saves her the effort of performing.
Moreover, it is even more logical and flawless.
"I'm fine! It's because I have poor health and was frightened again that I became ill. It has nothing to do with you!"
"I, I just need to take a short rest. No, don't bother your wife!"
Now that he had guessed who the owner of the silver building was and knew that he was about to come, Gu Qingcheng's demeanor changed instantly.
He is no longer the pitiful and coquettish person he was in front of his concubine, but he is now naive, ignorant, delicate and sickly.
A pair of beautiful eyes with incomparable clarity, and a face that is both prosperous and frail but still has a hint of dignity.
Although the words he spoke were soft and soft, there was a sense of righteousness and sternness to them.
When Mrs. Cui slowly walked up to the second floor, she happened to hear Gu Qingcheng's words.
Well, she is a woman with a good heart!
No wonder at such a young age, she is still willing to keep the rules for her husband!
Before they even met, Mrs. Cui felt a little fond of Gu Qingcheng just by her soft voice.
After entering the door and seeing Gu Qingcheng's face clearly, Mrs. Cui's eyes flashed with surprise——
What a beautiful woman who will captivate the whole country!
The key point is that although the woman in front of her is not as beautiful as a mortal, she is not at all gaudy or charming.
Not a little goblin, but a little fairy!
Mrs. Cui has long known that she is a person who cares about appearance.
Otherwise, the county magistrate who was a new scholar would not have been chosen instead of the well-matched officials and officials!
When the magistrate became middle-aged and greasy, she simply disliked it and began to like raising theater troupes and raising singers and dancers.
She doesn't have those dirty thoughts, she just likes to watch those young and good-looking boys and girls perform.
Now, suddenly, the most beautiful person she had ever seen appeared before her eyes, and Mrs. Cui seemed to hear the sound of flowers blooming.
"I am the owner of this silver house, my maiden name is Cui! You can call me Mrs. Cui!"
Mrs. Cui herself didn't notice that when she spoke to Gu Qingcheng, her voice was extremely soft and her tone was extremely gentle.
Wow, such a beautiful girl, I don’t dare to scare others.
Besides, Gu Qingcheng's frailty was too obvious, like an epiphyllum that had just bloomed in the cold wind.
Beautiful, but instantly withered!
Mrs. Cui couldn't help but hold her breath, fearing that her breath would blow away the most beautiful flower.
"I've met Mrs. Cui!"
Gu Qingcheng pretended to be frightened, stood up quickly, and greeted Mrs. Cui.
Her movement was a bit big, which triggered another round of coughing.
Gu Qingcheng coughed badly, but it did not affect her beauty at all. Instead, it added a lot of brokenness to her ultimate beauty.
Oops, Mrs. Cui feels very distressed.
So beautiful, so sickly, and still a young and virtuous widow, how pitiful she is!
She quickly walked a few steps closer and reached out to support Gu Qingcheng, "No need to be polite, your body is important!"
Mrs. Cui's eyes inevitably came into contact with Gu Qingcheng's mourning clothes.
It is said that "if you want to be pretty, be filial." Some women with evil intentions will deliberately engage in funeral practices in order to seduce men.
However, a woman like that, even if she is dressed in all white, still has a bit of charm.
Gu Qingcheng is different, she is really pure.
From her clothes, to her eyes, to her whole person, she is clean and clear. You can tell at a glance that she is a well-protected woman.
Maybe you don't have great wealth, but you can still be happy with a small amount of wealth.
Otherwise, as a person in her twenties and already a mother, her eyes would not be so clean.
There is also that almost child-like innocence, which is very inconsistent on the face of a married woman with children.
But Gu Qingcheng is good-looking, and all the expressions on her face, which bring disaster to the country and the people, are a unique kind of beauty.
"Thank you, Madam Cui, for caring about me. I'm fine!"
Gu Qingcheng coughed while trying to explain, "This is an old problem of mine, not because I was bullied. And the shopkeeper of your bank, guys, are all very nice people!"
When he said the second half of the sentence, Gu Qingcheng still looked serious.
She looked as if she was afraid that "Ms. Cui" would think of her and blame the people in the Silver House.
Seeing her sincerity, Mrs. Cui felt more and more that this person had good character.
Moreover, after a brief contact, Mrs. Cui, as smart as she is, has discovered that this Mrs. Gu seems to be a little too naive.
Well, this is Mrs. Cui's euphemism for good-looking people.
If it were someone with average appearance, Mrs. Cui would probably secretly say "stupid" in her heart.
Isn't that stupid?
When they first met, Mrs. Cui showed a little kindness, and Mrs. Gu regarded her as a "sister".
She told her everything about her last name, her husband's name, how many children she had, and how many acres of land her family had.
At first, Mrs. Cui listened with a smile.
But as she listened, her brows furrowed slightly - this Gu family is too easy to trust others.
That is to say, she has no ill intentions. If she were someone with an impure mind, she would definitely deceive her!
Just when she was thinking that Mrs. Gu would be deceived, this overly naive beauty pretended to be mysterious and said to her, "Sister Cui, you are in business. I have an excellent business here that can make a lot of money."
.”
"Moreover, that noble lady is the concubine of the county's distinguished family. She is the most respectable person in the county."
"Sister Cui, why don't you join me and form a partnership with my concubine? You can not only make money, but also find a backer for your bank..."
Gu Qingcheng is like a child trying to imitate adults.
Even though he is extremely innocent, he still pretends to be mature and capable.
While Mrs. Cui was secretly amused, she couldn't help but feel vigilant.
She turned her head and looked at the shopkeeper standing aside.
The shopkeeper seemed to understand Mrs. Cui's question and nodded quickly.
When I went to the back office to report to Mrs. Cui just now, the shopkeeper mentioned that the chaste woman had angered Aunt Li and was carried out by the mother-in-law, and then she vomited blood.
Mrs. Cui also heard the words "Aunt Li" and was worried that this concubine would cause trouble outside, so she came to "condolence" in person.
However, Mrs. Cui only knew that Aunt Li sent someone to take action, but she did not know what happened between Gu and Aunt Li.
After listening to Gu Qingcheng's words, Mrs. Cui seemed to have guessed something——
It is estimated that Li wanted to be a monster again and created some "business".
Relying on the power of the magistrate, he deceived people and deceived the poor and lonely chaste woman.
Damn it!
A dark light flashed in Mrs. Cui's eyes, but she didn't show anything on her face.
Why is Mrs. Cui so sure that Aunt Li is "liar"?
The reason is too simple. Aunt Li was born as a maid, has little knowledge and is very greedy.
After being favored and having two children, she became more and more public.
That would be fine if he was really smart, but he is just a smart-aleck fool.
Mrs. Cui regards Aunt Li as a tool to deal with her husband and share the risks of production. As long as she doesn't make too much trouble, Mrs. Cui will turn a blind eye.
However, hearing the meaning of Gu's words, Aunt Li actually started to reach out to the backyard and started a "business".
Mrs. Cui can't tolerate this anymore!
"What business? Sister, you also said that I am a businessman and I have some experience in business. Tell me and let me go through the details!"
Mrs. Cui remained calm and began to tell the story from the "innocent" Gu Qingcheng.
"Sister Cui, let me tell you, it's just loan money..."
As expected, Gu Qingcheng lived up to Mrs. Cui's expectations. She poured out beans from a bamboo tube and told her everything about Aunt Li's business.
In order to prove that she was not lying, she took out a whole piece of paper from her sleeve pocket very carefully.
Opening it gently, Gu Qingcheng showed the paper to Mrs. Cui, "Sister Cui, look, this is the IOU written by the matchmaker in the middle."
"That person's surname is Qian, he is a relative of my husband's family, and they are all members of my own family!"
When Gu Qingcheng talked about the Qian family, he looked trusting and slightly proud.
It seems to be saying, just believe me. For the sake of relatives, cousin Qian will not only help me make money, but also help you establish a relationship with your concubine.
Mrs. Cui's smile was a little stiff, and she looked at Gu Qingcheng with a little pity——
Alas, this girl's brains have probably been used to change her face.
Sure enough, God is fair. He was so beautiful but too "stupid".
Mrs. Li probably really wanted to make a living in the usury business, but this cheap servant was greedy and stingy. She wanted to make money, but she was unwilling to contribute her capital.
She simply came up with a "borrowed chicken to lay eggs".
And the Gu family should be the "chicken" chosen by the Li family. They paid the capital, but they may not get the dividends.
There is also Qian, a relative who is highly regarded by the Gu family. He is probably an accomplice of the Li family and specializes in deceiving people for the Li family.
This scam is very simple, even a little crude.
But Mrs. Cui knew that Mr. Li would definitely succeed.
Because, under the banner of county magistrate, she came to bully others.
Ordinary women like Gu who were deceived, even if they knew they had been deceived, they did not dare to speak out due to the power of the magistrate.
However, the reputation of the county magistrate has been ruined. Once someone criticizes it, this is ready evidence!
