Chapter 170 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (fifty-seven)
"Ms. Gu, I came a month or two earlier than you, and I know a little more about the capital."
"And my son, who is young and well-connected, has actually made friends with several noble people."
Mrs. Zhao acted like a "senior" towards Gu Qingcheng, as if she would have a big advantage if she came a month or two earlier.
Gu Qingcheng didn't care, blinking his big innocent eyes, listening with interest.
And based on the content of Mrs. Zhao's words, she made the most perfect response.
She was simply the best audience, which greatly satisfied Mrs. Zhao's vanity and made her show off even more.
Gu Qingcheng's reaction also made Mrs. Zhao more and more sure of her initial guess: This Gu family is just stupid.
"Ms. Gu, let me tell you, in the capital, even having great talent may not be useful."
"Where is the capital? At the feet of the emperor, the best place, and all the talented people in the world go to the capital."
But Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for the three hundred miles of silver.
Befriending powerful people, making glass, and growing off-season vegetables, I not only made money, but also developed many connections.
When Gu Qingcheng saw that Mrs. Zhao was getting angry and Qian's face was pale, she couldn't stand it.
Mrs. Zhao wanted to continue scolding her daughter-in-law, but when she heard the words "What next", she was stunned.
Her Sanlang is also a young man, so why can't he marry a high-ranking lady like that Ji Silang?
But, if you don’t take it, you won’t be able to make chicken soup, and you will probably get a beating from your mother-in-law tonight.
Gu Qingcheng looked at it secretly.
Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, oh well, he was eating melon on an acquaintance.
Being ungrateful and abusing his wife, even if he becomes a Jinshi, he will not be able to go far in the officialdom.
Gu Qingcheng looked proud.
Mrs. Zhao spoke with disdain, but there was envy in her eyes.
He waved his hand impatiently at Mr. Qian, "Why don't you go and cook? Sanlang works so hard every day. As a wife, you are really an unworthy woman if you don't stew some nourishing chicken soup for your husband."
The matter of purchasing test questions is of great importance and cannot be disclosed easily.
She really couldn't do anything to continue beating and scolding her daughter-in-law.
"Oh my, that princess's mansion is so splendid, it's just like a fairy palace in the sky."
"Ms. Gu, let me ask you, why did you come to the capital this time?"
"Mrs. Gu, do you know Princess Changping? She is a real golden branch and jade leaf, the beloved daughter of today's saint!"
Anyway, after today, Mrs. Zhao will not admit what she said.
"A woman who is a woman with a big belly actually shows her face."
She wanted to tell Gu Qingcheng directly, but she remembered her son's advice.
Mrs. Zhao was so speechless that she drank the water in the teacup in one gulp, then subconsciously shouted at the top of her voice, "Ms. Qian, why don't you come and pour the tea?"
As his hands shook, some tea spilled out.
Mrs. Zhao:...You are just a fool!
I've hinted it so obviously, but you still can't fucking guess it.
The more fearful Mr. Qian is, the more likely he is to make mistakes.
Mrs. Qian was anxious and frightened, but finally gave in to her mother-in-law's power and quietly retreated.
She looked shivering and sad, and she was even more trembling in front of Mrs. Zhao.
This is the dignity and dignity that a widowed mother should have.
As the heroine, has Zheng Wanjun finally begun to "show off her talents"?
Looking at Qian's slightly shaky back, Mrs. Zhao looked proud.
Even the two children will be punished along with her!
Qian had tears in her eyes. She didn't know how she had fallen to this point.
Poor character is never a big problem, what really kills you is being too "stupid".
"A few days ago, Princess Changping held a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, and my Sanlang also went there."
Oh no, it’s just that you don’t treat people as human beings.
Zhao Zhi, that's probably it.
She wanted to say that she needed to buy chickens to make chicken soup, but her mother-in-law didn't have the money to buy vegetables for her yet.
"I called you here today because I have something good to tell you!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes!"
Gu Qingcheng directly used the "prodigy" that Mrs. Zhao boasted about to herself and Zhao Qingyun, so she didn't feel offended.
However, Qian looked older, as if Zhao Zhi had made him several years older.
"By the way, just like the granddaughter from Zheng Ge's hometown, tsk tsk, she's already married, and she still drags her family with her to live in her natal home."
Mrs. Zhao blinked desperately.
For example, she herself has a photographic memory and can write with both hands.
She continued to pretend to be innocent, "Then what?"
The daughter-in-law of many years became a mother-in-law.
When pouring the tea, Qian's hands were shaking.
Huoshui nodded desperately in the depths of his consciousness: ...That's right, even though it was a different man, the heroine still started the cheating life of a farming heroine.
Gu Qingcheng did a good job as a "praise", and Mrs. Zhao became even more energetic.
"Oh, it's just, it's--"
"As mothers-in-law, if we don't suppress these little bitches hard, they will definitely dare to make trouble."
"But what does taking the imperial examination have to do with 'that'?"
Mrs. Zhao changed her subject and showed off her son again, "Just like my Sanlang, who successfully got to know Princess Changping's retainers."
Since they are husband and wife, they should be of similar age.
"what is that?"
"The same goes for Princess Changping. Why do you think so differently of such a womanly person? I heard they even opened a shop together!"
Although Mrs. Zhao is a peasant woman, she knows the principle of "paying back the money you ask for".
"Humph, she is a merchant girl after all, but she has no rules!"
Gu Qingcheng showed a curious expression at the right time, "Good thing? What good thing?"
Haha, I was praised!
"There are so many prodigies, but how many of them are truly famous all over the world and admired by thousands of people?"
She also used this as a case study to teach Gu Qingcheng her experience, "Ms. Gu, let me tell you, you can't be polite to your daughter-in-law."
If the "in-laws" were powerful, her family's Saburo wouldn't have to work so hard to curry favor with a princess's retainer.
She decided that Mrs. Gu next door was a fool and wanted to defraud Mr. Gu of some money first.
"There are more than one or two child prodigies who are able to recite poetry at the age of three and poetry at the age of five——"
Gu Qingcheng: ...Oh, it’s only October, and the main exam for next spring hasn’t been decided yet, so you can buy the exam questions?
What a fool!
"Why are you buying exam questions? My uncle is a genius!"
Gu Qingcheng said stupidly, "Of course I will accompany my son to take the Jinshi examination."
Mrs. Zhao's scolding made her already rigid and serious face look even more acrimonious.
What then?
It took her a long while before she realized: Oh, yes, I was just showing off the grand banquet of Princess Changping's family to Mrs. Gu.
So, what happened to the fifteen-year-old Juren?
Compared with those famous prodigies, it is nothing!
Mrs. Zhao felt sour in her heart, but she tried her best to belittle him.
It's not like Mr. Gu, who is obviously an elder, but is locked up by his son every day.
Qian opened her mouth and rubbed her hands unconsciously on her clothes.
Such a mother-in-law and such a husband are so shameless.
Gu Qingcheng shook his head first, saying that he was ignorant and had never heard of Princess Changping.
"Forget it! Let's not talk about her!"
Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to see it, and she scolded louder: "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly!"
How much pain Mrs. Zhao suffered at the hands of her mother-in-law, she will exact it from her daughter-in-law!
Gu Qingcheng: ...No wonder Madam Liu doesn't want to see this person. This person is really hard to describe.
Mrs. Zhao deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "that".
All she had left was a few silver bracelets at the bottom of the box. If she was forced to take them out again, she would really have nothing.
Regardless of whether she loves girls or not, just her status as a princess does make ordinary people in awe.
Mrs. Qian was not a child bride. She brought a generous dowry with her when she entered the house.
It is estimated that it will be an exam question in the spring of next year.
But when Mrs. Gu interrupted her, Mrs. Zhao's "emotion" was interrupted.
Mrs. Zhao smiled mysteriously, looked around, and lowered her voice and said, "Didn't my husband get to know Princess Changping's retainer? That gentleman said he could get 'that'!"
Humph, he is indeed a waste!
Originally, she wanted to show her dignity as a mother-in-law in front of Mrs. Gu, and then show off her son's filial piety to her - she beat and scolded Mrs. Qian, but instead of making decisions for Mrs. Qian, her son blamed her for not being filial enough.
!
"It's just a test question!"
This should be Qian, the wife Zhao Zhi married for money.
She deliberately said it very high, just to leave room for Gu Qingcheng to bargain.
It is indeed not easy for a widow to bring up several children and provide a successor.
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman with a low-browed face hurriedly ran over.
The Zhao family spent everything on food and housing with Qian's money, but they still didn't regard Qian as a family.
She just deliberately showed off that her son has met a powerful person, and also mentioned that talent may not necessarily lead to success, just to set the stage.
"Ms. Gu, I treat you as one of my own, that's why I say these heartbreaking words to you."
“It’s not important to be talented, what’s important is to be able to communicate and be supported by noble people!”
Gu Qingcheng had a guess in her heart.
However, it is not likely that her daughter-in-law did not cause her.
Mrs. Zhao talked a lot and finally got to the point.
"You can buy it for only eight hundred taels."
There are indeed many prodigies in ancient times.
Mrs. Zhao's eyebrows immediately stood up, and she opened her mouth to curse: "You're a useless thing, you can't even pour tea. My son married you, and it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes!"
I just deliberately refused to give you any money. Huh, you little whore. Just when I didn’t know, you still hid some dowry and didn’t hand it over?
Since Mrs. Gu is a fool, telling her directly doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Oh my gosh, that's the emperor's daughter.
"Otherwise, she would dare to sit on the heads of us mothers-in-law and poop and pee."
There is also a great eldest son in this life, who is also a rare genius boy.
Then his eyes widened, as if he was shocked by the words "the saint's beloved daughter".
"Oh, what I just said was all in vain?"
"Ms. Gu, there are too many talented people in the capital, but there are only so many Jinshi in each subject, and there are always people who fail."
