Chapter 164 The Male Protagonist’s Best Mother (51)
Gu Qingcheng: ...No! It’s not me! It has nothing to do with me!
This event, which shocked the entire Heyin County and was recorded in the county annals, was indeed not done by Gu Qingcheng himself.
However, it would not be true to say that there is no connection at all.
The one who really caused the "trouble" was the Huo Family Martial Arts School.
When Han Jiaojiao left, the house on the west side changed neighbors to the Huo family.
The old man of the Huo family is a retired veteran. He has no other specialties except the skill of killing people.
So, he opened a martial arts gym to make a living.
Gu Qingcheng invested all the 500 taels of silver he earned from selling the medicine shop into Huo's martial arts gym.
Everyone in the county said that Madam Gu had been deceived and the five hundred taels of silver would definitely be wasted.
Everyone's words are suspected of being sarcastic, but they also have a certain degree of predictability.
The martial arts gym's business is indeed not very good.
In this huge martial arts hall, except for Zhao Qingsong and a few men from the Zhao and Gu families, there are no other students at all.
At that time, Gu Qingcheng stupidly suggested, "How about doing something else?"
Do something else?
What can a group of people wielding knives and guns do?
What a coincidence, just after Gu Qingcheng said these words, which were not constructive, there was news in the market——
The bandits from Shuangtou Mountain also kidnapped a wealthy and unkind businessman from the next county.
Old Man Huo has a hot temper and has been in the army for more than 20 years. When he heard such evil things, his first reaction was to suppress these bandits.
Zhao Qingsong said, "People from our martial arts school can be bodyguards!"
Zhao Qingsong originally wanted to be a wealthy businessman.
I was coaxed by my mother into learning martial arts.
The reason why his mother coaxed him in the first place was that it would be easy to get robbed when he went out to do business.
There are two-headed mountains outside the city, and there are always bloody examples. Zhao Qingsong becomes more and more convinced of his mother's words.
This time, when he heard that other wealthy businessmen had been kidnapped, Zhao Qingsong thought of his mother's suggestion a few days ago - to increase his side job and become a bodyguard!
Only then did Mr. Huo realize that he was no longer an officer of the imperial court, but a retired old man.
He was a little uninterested and waved his hand to let the juniors do it.
The two grandsons of the Huo family, Huo Qilang and Huo Twelve, are seventeen and fourteen years old, both of whom are passionate.
They hit it off with twelve-year-old Zhao Qingsong——
These three little ones not only opened up the dart walking business, but also secretly went to dart walking on their own.
There was no surprise. Fourteen-year-old Huo Twelve Lang was robbed by gangsters from Shuangtou Mountain when he was walking as a escort!
The person is fine, the goods are lost.
Instead of making any money, I had to pay others a lot of money.
Mr. Huo couldn't bear it anymore, so early in the morning he led a group of powerful young men to kill Shuangtou Mountain.
Then, Shuangtou Mountain became history.
There were nearly a hundred gangsters in the huge mountain stronghold, some died, some escaped, and some were caught.
Zhao Qingsong and several other teenagers enthusiastically led the gangsters who were tied up in a group, entered the city gate, and swaggered through the city, causing a sensation in the entire county.
Xinzhi County almost "cryed with joy".
Damn it, on the second day after I took office, I received the filial piety from Shuangtou Mountain.
Thousands of taels of silver a year, just like that.
The key thing is that he can't be angry, he also needs to praise these "little heroes".
Huo's martial arts school became famous in one battle, and Zhao Qingsong broke through the shadow of his evil brother and became a heroic young man praised by everyone.
Zhao Qingsong, who succeeded in suppressing the bandits, took the lead during the battle and killed the bandits bravely.
The first one to rush into the cottage!
That hearty feeling, that feeling of joyful killing, really stimulated Zhao Qingsong.
"Auntie, I don't want to be a rich businessman, I want to be a general!"
Zhao Qingsong is a boy with vigorous youth, and his big bright eyes are full of blood and passion!
Gu Qingcheng pretended to be surprised, but she smiled with satisfaction in her heart.
And in the palm of her hand, she held a piece of letter paper.
The letter contained only one sentence: "Ms. Gu, I have repaid you for your life-saving grace of ten taels of silver!"
Who would have thought that a strong man who sold knives back then would fall into the trap of a bandit.
No one thought that today, a few years later, in order to repay his kindness, he would secretly protect Zhao Qingsong and make him famous in one battle!
Although Mr. Huo has "retired", he still has many achievements in the military.
Therefore, Zhao Qingsong and the two grandsons of the Huo family all went to serve as soldiers under his arrangement.
Gu Qingcheng asked Zhao Qingsong to visit Zhaojiazhuang and Gujiacun.
Twelve-year-old Zhao Qingsong is no longer a transparent person hiding in the halo of his elder brother.
He began to show his talents in front of the people of Zhaojiazhuang.
These days, it’s true that “good men don’t fight in the army”.
However, it also depends on the situation.
Zhao Qingsong obviously has a "backer". It is different for him to serve as a soldier and to be forced into military service by the government.
In Zhaojiazhuang, there are always those who have more sons, and there are always those who want their sons to earn a future.
Therefore, when Zhao Qingsong left Zhaojiazhuang, he was followed by about a dozen brothers from the clan.
As for the Gu family, there is nothing much to say.
The Gu family is full of rich and powerful men. Although Gu Qingcheng has mastered the art of making pigs, not all his children and grandchildren can learn it.
Butcher Gu’s six sons, more than a dozen grandchildren, and great-grandchildren also began to spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
There are also N number of grandchildren.
Butcher Gu believed in Zhao Qingyun, and also had a certain amount of trust in Zhao Qingsong.
So, he waved his hand, and ten people came out of the Gu family.
Plus some "relatives" of the Huo family.
Three young men actually pulled together a team of thirty people and rushed directly to the northwest.
Gu Qingcheng cried and sent away her youngest son. The poor "widowed mother" was left with only herself and N nieces who were waiting for her.
The Huo family's huge yard on the west side also seemed empty.
"A fifteen-year-old Juren, a twelve-year-old little hero! These two sons of the Zhao family, both civil and military, will definitely prosper in the future."
"...Let's wait another three years. If Zhao Qingyun can pass the Jinshi examination, it will be a good candidate!"
Mr. Huo, who should have been lonely, did not feel as lonely as his grandson left.
He sat on the porch, looking in the east direction, and whispered to his wife.
"It's still shallow after all. However, the young master's body——"
Madam Yang was somewhat unwilling to do so.
But when she thought of some "reality", she had to sigh lowly.
…
Fast forward another three years.
Zheng Wanjun, who got married, was busy fighting for the best, opening a shop, and giving birth to children.
Ji Keji, as for Ji Keji, was not in a hurry to attend the Spring Festival.
He knew in his heart that he studied too late, and it was already a miracle that he could pass the exams for scholar and examination.
There seems to be such a magical power somewhere.
Let him always perform exceptionally well in the examination room.
After the exam was over, he read the article he had written again and felt "amazing"——
Is this an article I made?
Somehow, he tried to solve the problem and write again based on the same proposition. The article he wrote was not at the same level as the article in the examination room!
Ji Keji knew that this should be his true level.
As for him in the examination room, it was more like he was protected by a certain halo, so it was a smooth journey!
As for that halo——
Ji Keji subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhao Qingyun's house.
Yes, not next door.
After getting married to Zheng Wanjun, Ji Keji moved out of the Zheng family.
Relying on his dividends from the printing shop and the "gifts" from some families after winning the election, Ji Keji bought a small house with two rooms on the street in front of the academy.
He is not a son-in-law, nor is he an incompetent man relying on his wife's dowry.
He was grateful for the care of his husband and father-in-law, and respected his capable wife, but he always remembered that his surname was Ji, not Zheng!
After getting married and moving, Ji Keji continued to study with Mr. Zheng.
He realized his problem and worked harder.
He showed the same enthusiasm as when he was working and studying at the bookstore, and devoted all his time to studying.
Twelve hours a day, only two hours of sleep.
Every day is my home, the academy and the Zheng family, three o'clock and one line.
He left all the family affairs, parents, siblings, and a group of top people in the old house to Zheng Wanjun.
If it were another woman, there might be pressure and emotions.
But, Zheng Wanjun won’t!
She was originally a strong and independent woman, but when she was young, she saw her mother, Wan Niangzi, being arrested outside her home.
Therefore, these things at home are not troubles to her, but challenges.
"No! You have already spent more than your monthly allowance this month, and you cannot advance next month's payment."
Zheng Wanjun is already very much like the matron of the house.
The incompetent brother-in-law did not dare to act like a monster under her strength.
"Father, grandma, don't secretly give money to Xiao Qilang. Two taels of silver per month can be enough to cover an ordinary person's expenses for half a year, but Xiao Qilang spent it all in less than a few days.
."
The Ji family is not a wealthy family, let alone a dandy.
Besides, Zheng Wanjun knows better than anyone what the Ji family was like originally.
Humph, if it weren't for the Zheng family, how could the Ji family live such a good life of making slaves and maids for two or two months?
Fortunately, although my parents-in-law were a little confused, they were more obedient.
The sister-in-law also has some top talents, and Zheng Wanjun can handle them easily.
Generally speaking, Zheng Wanjun is very satisfied with his family situation and his status in the family.
Now we just have to wait for the next spring to reach the top three in Xianggong's high school, and she, the heroine of the imperial examination, will become a real winner in life.
After teaching his brother-in-law a lesson and "persuading" his parents-in-law, Zheng Wanjun supported his waist and slowly walked towards his main house.
She didn't see that behind her, her brother-in-law and parents-in-law had angry looks in their eyes.
"Mom, my sister-in-law is too domineering!"
"Yes, the eldest brother is indeed what he is today because of Mr. Zheng, but, my sister-in-law is already married to the eldest brother."
"That's right, since she married into the Ji family, she is the daughter-in-law of the Ji family. Which daughter-in-law is as disrespectful to her parents-in-law and mean to her uncle and sister-in-law as she is?"
Ji Xiaodi and Ji Xiaomei, one on the left and the other on the right, complained in the ears of Ji Sanlang and his wife.
"No nonsense! You must listen to my sister-in-law from now on!"
Ji Sanlang felt aggrieved, but he knew that his son had not yet passed the Jinshi examination and had not yet become an official.
The Ji family still needs to rely on the big tree of the Zheng family...
