Chapter 174 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (sixty-one)
The marriage of Nanping Princess Han Jiaojiao seems to have been settled.
In addition to the fact that the specific candidate is still unknown, the powerful people have already determined that Han Jiaojiao will marry into a poor family.
Because of Princess Nanping's marriage, everyone in the capital paid special attention to this spring wedding.
After the first lunar month, candidates from all over the country began to prepare for the exam.
There are also some banquets, poetry gatherings, etc., which are also very lively.
Slowly, "popular candidates" began to appear:
Qizhou Zhao Qingyun, passed the national examination at the age of fifteen and became a handsome young man;
Ji Keji of Qizhou did not start studying until he was ten years old. He passed the national examination at the age of sixteen and was regarded as a genius.
Ma Zijun from Zhezhou came from a scholarly family, was a double Jinshi in one discipline, and passed the national examination at the age of nineteen;
Zhongzhou Zheng Sicheng, a great scholar in the previous dynasty, began to study hard at the age of sixteen, and passed the national examination at the age of twenty-two...
Among many talents, Zhao Qingyun is definitely the most outstanding one.
After hearing too many cases from the Ministry of Justice that Zheng Dalang told him, Ji Keji not only gained an understanding of the powerful people in the capital, but also learned that for the sake of wealth, husband and wife can turn against each other and brothers can become enemies!
Ji Xiaodi and Ji Xiaomei complained angrily.
She negotiated directly with the Zhao family's mother and son——
While Mrs. Zhao was talking, she did not forget to invite Mr. Qian to "live performance".
"Xiao Qi Lang, Xiao Shiniang, have you forgotten that if my father-in-law hadn't accepted me as his apprentice, I would still be struggling as an apprentice in a bookstore."
"Is this how you treat your benefactor?"
My family is a businessman, and before I got married, I was also a handy girl who was good at abacus and accounting books.
The first is to know what you want.
She was very lucky. Not only did Gu Qingcheng wake her up, but she also met Mrs. Zheng who was willing to hire a female accountant.
yes!
It’s better to give up on Qian and the children as soon as possible!
In addition, Zheng Wanjun also has to take Mr. Zheng’s thoughts into consideration.
"As for Qingyun's marriage, I, I will listen to him."
"Also, you are not children anymore! I can be filial to my parents and support my younger siblings, but I will not indulge you."
As for little brother Ji, he is already thirteen or fourteen years old and he is still idle.
Unable to catch the halo, Ji Keji's performance this time was not very good.
She really disliked Mrs. Qian and wanted to kick this worthless businesswoman out of the house as soon as possible.
Ji Keji was worried, and Ji Xiaodi and Ji Xiaomei came to join in the fun.
"How can my Qingyun be as high as the princess?"
Mrs. Zhao was cursing.
My younger brothers and sisters act like young masters and young ladies, and I really get used to them.
It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with Gu Qingcheng anyway.
"What happened to me? I also want to ask you what do you want? If the capital is not good, you can just go back to your hometown."
"...That's great. I don't know anything, I just envy capable women."
He treated his parents and younger siblings with all his heart and soul, but as for his younger siblings, didn't he take it for granted?
You can calculate the accounts clearly, but why can't you see people's hearts clearly?
"I heard that your mother's family is a merchant. Do you still settle accounts?"
Amidst the chaos, a crisp sound of fractures was heard.
But the younger brothers and sisters become resentful because they are even slightly dissatisfied.
Thinking this, Zheng Wanjun calmed down his emotions and continued to deal with Ji's family as usual.
Gu Qingcheng said goodbye with satisfaction. Qian came out to see off the guests respectfully amidst Mrs. Zhao's scolding.
Zhao Zhi only hesitated for a moment and agreed quickly.
When he was ten years old, he was already working as an apprentice to support his family.
"And you, you will either starve to death or freeze to death, or you will be captured and sold by Aweng, Uncle and others!"
After a dark and windy night for a month, Qian hid in a corner, took a clothes pestle and beat Zhao Zhi hard when he came home drunk.
This time's test was more like Ji Keji's own true level.
Seeing Mrs. Zhao tormenting Ms. Qian in various ways, and Ms. Qian becoming more and more old and numb, Gu Qingcheng couldn't bear it.
Gongyuan, the dragon gate is open!
"Brother, you, how can you -" scold us?
Are you still helping your sister-in-law to speak?
He seemed to have made some mistakes before.
There is no way, he is like Huo Qubing in Shilin——
I heard that they had returned to their hometown. I heard that they had offended someone and were afraid that their enemies would come to visit them, so they hid in other places in the capital.
He has taken care of all the wedding flowers and candles, the inscription on the gold medal, the two major joyous events in life.
"I'll end my relationship with Mr. Qian earlier so that I can make friends with noble people."
Ji Keji was a little impatient, "What are your rules? How dare you scold my sister-in-law like this?"
At the end of the examination, all the candidates walked out of Gongyuan as if they had lost half their lives, either in embarrassment, weak, or regretful.
"You also know that your sister-in-law is kind to our Ji family?"
But she was thinking in her heart: If my son could marry the princess, I would be willing to work as a cow or a horse for the princess's daughter-in-law!
"It would be better to marry a well-matched daughter-in-law, just like me. Life is so good now!"
The exam is about to take place, and as soon as he passes the Jinshi exam, some "sighted" powerful people will be looking for his son-in-law.
"Ms. Gu, is your Qingyun really going to marry the princess?"
Qian: ...What a wolf-hearted bastard, do you really think that my surname is Qian?
Ji Keji was disgusted when he saw the "ungrateful" faces of his younger brothers and sisters.
"Could it be that the saint would choose Zhao Qingyun?"
Unlike the previous two times, it seemed like there was divine help.
His family was originally a farmer, so even if he were to be elected now, he would still be from a poor family.
Zhao Qingyun is full of confidence and calm.
And Ji Xiaomei, who is almost ten years old, should also learn to wash, cook and take care of the housework.
With a job and wages paid in advance, Qian was confident.
Zhao Zhi felt embarrassed when he saw his own mother scolding her like an old shrew.
Click!
Those younger than him are not as good looking as him.
"The princess is indeed noble and should serve her well!"
"Brother, go and take care of my sister-in-law. Even if she is kind to our Ji family, she has already married into our Ji family, so she is a member of the Ji family." Her money should also belong to the Ji family.
Huoshui: ...That is the original heroine, the woman who appreciates independence the most.
The kindness of the Zheng family to their own family is as high as the sky and as deep as the sea.
Sweep the floor politely.
Peace and separation!
"That's right! We're not allowed to go out yet! Didn't we just bump into the noble once and I was punished? Why can't we get over this matter?"
The next day, Qian plucked up the courage and walked out of the small rented courtyard tremblingly.
Ji Keji has indeed changed and has some thoughts.
Being able to settle accounts is also a skill. Even if you are separated from a man, you can still be self-reliant. How did you end up in this situation?
You know, even the eldest brother complains about the eldest sister-in-law's strength.
When I got married, I entered the Zhao family with a large dowry.
"Brother, sister-in-law is going too far. She has made so many jewelry, but she is unwilling to increase our monthly rate!"
Mrs. Zhao was so jealous that she deliberately said sarcastic words, "This is not good! The princess is such a noble person. If she becomes your daughter-in-law, there is no guarantee who will serve whom in the future."
The next day, Gu Qingcheng heard Mrs. Zhao's heartbreaking cries from next door.
He used all his dowry to buy two children.
Moreover, while living in the Zheng family, Ji Keji learned a lot of "the ways of being an official" from Mr. Zheng Ge and Uncle Zheng.
After Zheng Wanjun came to the family, although he was strict, he never treated Ji's family badly.
Zhao Zhi's right hand was interrupted, and he "perfectly" missed this year's Spring Festival.
After getting the divorce letter and divorce letter, Qian took the children and left.
But he hasn't taken action yet.
"My nephew used to be a bookkeeper. With two taels of silver a month, he can support a large family."
There's no way around it, that's how it is in this era.
The two children turned out to be a drag.
Fortunately, the Zhao family's mother and son were greedy for money and had the idea of coying with a noble girl.
Bang!
She bounced back.
However, as spring was approaching, Zheng Wanjun did not want to do anything too extreme.
Zhao Qingyun, Ji Keji and other officials solemnly walked in.
He is like a polygonal warrior who excels in everything!
The Qian family, an ancient native, dared to divorce her husband.
Afterwards, Gu Qingcheng never saw Zhao Zhi, mother and son again.
Once a woman divorces, her children must stay in her husband's family.
She is a time-traveling woman, but she has become so fearful. It's so inappropriate!
If they can treat Zheng Wanjun like this today, will they do the same to his eldest brother in the future?
After all, people's hearts are complex and the gaps are difficult to fill.
"Forget it! It just so happens that I'm about to give birth too!"
Gu Qingcheng still looked weak and thoughtless, and his "worthless" remarks made Mrs. Zhao choked again.
Me, how did I become like this?!
Like a spring, Qian was bullied to the lowest level by Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Zhi.
It's better to be good-looking than him, but not as good at reading.
Walking to the door, Gu Qingcheng glanced at Qian with her head bowed and her back hunched over, and said in a low voice, "Your mother-in-law seems to like noble girls very much."
The Zhao mother and son lived in my house, ate my food, and wore my clothes, but they still beat me, scolded me, and abused me.
Standing outside the door, Zheng Wanjun felt inexplicably complicated when he heard Ji Keji scolding his younger brothers and sisters.
On the contrary, Zheng Wanjun, who hired Qian, fell into deep thought after hearing Qian's story.
However, Mrs. Zhao was used to being a "me-only" person, and she simply could not tolerate Mr. Qian's daring to propose reconciliation first, and even wanted to take away the children!
"Okay, Aniang! Stop making trouble!"
Gu Qingcheng seemed to just think of something and said it casually, but her words hit Qian's heart hard.
However, there are rumors that the Nanping County Chief is marrying a new scholar, and Zhao Qingyun's standing out from the crowd has some other meanings.
When the time comes, hehe——
But Ji Keji was a little worried about gains and losses:
"I'm afraid something is wrong this time!"
"You shouldn't be so far away from Zhao Qingyun. Even if you have to live in the Zheng family, you should move around with him more!"
Those who can read better than him are not as young as him.
"...Qingyun is better, and my life will be better!"
"Yes! You are so rich and yet you are so generous! Humph, do you still look like a eldest sister-in-law?"
If there is no marriage to Princess Nanping, this "selection" means hand-picking the top three.
On the day when the results were released, Zhao Qingyun was not surprised and got the first place in the examination, a big three yuan, and already won two yuan.
Zheng family, Zheng Wanjun felt that his stomach started to drop when he woke up early in the morning.
When the good news came, Zheng Wanjun happened to give birth to a daughter.
Ji Keji seemed to understand something...
