"What's so unreasonable?" An old but energetic voice came to mind from outside the door, and the silver-haired Mrs. Yun was helped into the main hall by the maid.
She had heard that people from the Wu family were coming to meet her in-laws. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard Wu Qingliu say that her Yun family was going to marry an unchaste woman. She was so angry that she stood at the door to calm down.
"My A'yi is very good. She is the head of Jiangzhou County personally appointed by the emperor. Who in Jiangzhou dares to say a bad word about her?" Mrs. Yun said loudly.
Lord of Jiangzhou County?
Wu Qingliu also had a look of understanding in his eyes, with a mocking look on his face.
It turned out that he wanted to cling to the rich and powerful, so he decided to marry a woman who was married to Li and had children. A merchant's house was just a merchant's house, and there was no character at all.
Wu Qingliu thought that he understood it all. The Yun family wanted to marry this person because they wanted to be a powerful person. However, he did not think that if Yun Luochuan could be the first among the three, he would have the strength to win the top prize and make the Yun family a powerful person.
Mrs. Yun was very sharp-eyed. When she saw Wu Qingliu's expression, she knew what he was thinking and scolded: "Stop the expression on your face. Our Yun family did not want to marry Ayi just to cling to the powerful."
, before Ayi presented the gold mountain to the emperor and made her the county head, our Yun family had already recognized her."
"Moreover, with my grandson Luo Chuan's ability, he can even get the top prize, so why bother trying to cling to the powerful?"
Wu Qingliu's expression froze slightly, and he was struck speechless again.
The Bai family and the three younger ones were so shocked that their eyes widened. Jinshan, the woman Yun Luochuan wanted to marry, was actually made the county head after offering Jinshan to the emperor.
Not only was she able to own a gold mountain, but she was also willing to give it to the emperor, which was really extraordinary. They suddenly became curious about this nephew/cousin.
"When you came, did you see the red lanterns hanging outside every house?" Mrs. Yun asked, raising her chin.
"I saw it." Wu Mingzhu said, "Isn't it the one that hasn't been taken off after the New Year?"
"Hmph..." Mrs. Yun smiled and said, "It was hung up just a few days ago. It was hung up by the people of Jiangzhou City for the wedding of my Ayi and my Luochuan family."
"You go out and ask around. Among the people in Jiangzhou, whenever they mention my Ayi, not one of them will give her a thumbs up and praise her."
"Because of her, we produced tribute tea in Jiangzhou. The price of tea in Jiangzhou has increased several times. Tea farmers who used to work on tea trees for a year but could not make money now make money by selling tea. This product from Jiangzhou
Gongcha is the tea from my Ayi family."
"My Ayi opens a shop, buys tea mountains, and hires people from Jiangzhou to work. The minimum wage for each person is two taels of silver. This really makes the workers rich, and I don't know how many people from poor families have benefited from it.
These days are getting better and better.”
"Also, the academy built by our Ayi has been built. In half a month, it will start accepting students. It will be divided into male and female campuses. Both men and women will be admitted. It will not be closed yet, and the children will be admitted for free."
Mrs. Yun looked very proud when she talked about the things her grandson's daughter-in-law had done.
"You, the Wu family, come from a scholarly family that values etiquette, benevolence, filial piety, and scholars the most. I don't see you spreading your benevolence and accepting children who can't afford to go to school for free. But our Ayi, a girl, did it.
, you men from the Wu family can’t compare to her.” If someone who can’t even compare to her A-yi, what qualifications does a person have to talk about her A-yi?
"..." Wu Qingliu's face turned red with anger, but he had nothing to say in reply.
