Chapter 171 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (58) is rolling around asking for monthly votes
Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Zhao took the initiative to help with advice: "Don't you still have jewelry?"
A gold bracelet that is so thick and heavy, or wrapped with silk, does a widow have the nerve to wear it?
Take it to the Silver House and you can exchange it for more than a hundred taels of silver.
There are also hairpins on the head and pendants on the ears.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes scanned Gu Qingcheng's body again and again, and she had already estimated the price of her jewelry.
No less than three hundred miles of silver.
Moreover, Mrs. Zhao is sure that the Gu family should not only own these jewelry.
No matter what happens, you can still borrow money.
Duke Xie Yuang's mother-in-law, who was a common borrower, was also willing to lend money.
By the way, you can also pretend to be sick and say you want to buy expensive ginseng.
As long as you discuss it with the doctor in advance, you can get the money.
There are also a few little girls around Gu. Tsk tsk, if they are sold, they will all be money.
...Old Mrs. Zhao has used all these methods.
When her son was taking the exam to become a scholar, she sold her eldest daughter.
When her son could not afford to study in the academy, she "married" her second daughter.
If she hadn't married Qian later, the youngest daughter probably wouldn't have been able to keep her.
Pretending to be sick is one of the methods used by Mrs. Zhao to defraud Qian's dowry. It is simple, crude and the most effective!
Gu Qingcheng: ...I really underestimated Mrs. Zhao. This person is not only the best, but also vicious!
"I don't dare! My elder brother will be unhappy!"
Gu Qingcheng deliberately acted weak and timid, and Mrs. Zhao got angry when she saw that cowardly look.
"You are the elder, the widowed mother who raised him, how could you-"
A mother is actually afraid of her son?
"No! I have never raised a family!"
Gu Qingcheng said "honestly", "In the past, it was the husband who made the money. When the husband left, he also kept the house, fields and money."
"My uncle can also make money. He can earn more than a hundred taels of silver just by writing prescriptions for others."
Gu Qingcheng just wanted to tell Mrs. Zhao directly that I was a waste.
Mrs. Zhao:...There are actually such, such good-lucky women in the world.
Why?
They are all women, and they feel like they have been soaked in coptis water, feeling bitter from the inside out.
As for Mrs. Gu, she can rely on her husband and son, and she doesn't even have to support her family!
Mrs. Zhao's already twisted heart became increasingly jealous and jealous.
She wanted to deceive this lucky stupid woman even more.
However, Gu Qingcheng could just say, "I listen to my son."
Now that Zhao Qingyun is an adult, he is still a young man. It is only natural that a mother should rely on him.
Gu Qingcheng no longer had the worries of his early years and directly wrote the words "listen to his son" on his face.
Mrs. Zhao: ...I have never seen such mud that cannot support the wall.
"Forget it, I wanted to help you, but I didn't expect-" You are so useless.
"Also, the test questions must not be spread to outsiders. Even your son, you can't talk about it."
"Otherwise something happens and the nobleman is offended, and your son will also be implicated!"
Mrs. Zhao is greedy for money, but she has not lost her reason.
If he was sure that he couldn't deceive Gu Qingcheng, he could only give him various warnings.
"oh!"
Gu Qingcheng responded, and after returning, he told Zhao Qingyun the matter obediently.
Zhao Qingyun nodded, "I understand! I will tell my husband."
Mr. Tang has returned to Beijing.
Zhao Qingyun went to visit.
Mr. Tang was very happy to see Zhao Qingyun, a young disciple, and called several other disciples in the capital.
After a meeting between the senior brothers, the junior fellow apprentices were tested on the spot and found that this young junior fellow student was indeed a very talented young man.
Coincidentally, the eldest brother is the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. It is very likely that he will be the examiner in the spring of next year.
If this matter is really a fraud in the scientific examination, senior brother will bear the brunt of it.
If he is just a retainer of the princess and deliberately uses it to defraud money, he must also handle it safely.
Zhao Qingyun did not hesitate and went directly to his senior brother's home.
A month later, a guest at Princess Changping's Mansion died.
Zhao Zhi seemed to be frightened and fell ill directly.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Zhi's family also felt gloomy and gloomy.
Mrs. Zhao didn't care about plotting against others. She was anxious to take care of her son and beat and scolded Mr. Qian every day.
Qian's life became increasingly difficult.
Several times, she wanted to go to the drug store to buy some medicine, throw it into the pot, and die together.
However, when she saw her young children, she was reluctant to part with them.
...Forget it, let’s just endure it like this.
If my husband wins Jinshi, life may be better!
…
"Mom, I am very optimistic about a person. He came to Beijing to take the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen. Duke An of Jin made an exception for him and accepted him as a closed disciple."
"This person's family tradition is also very good, and he received an inscription from the local magistrate: He is a good person!"
"My mother is kind and the clan members are close to each other, but my family background is a little shallow."
"However, Nanping's status is valuable, and he doesn't need any high-ranking people to accompany him."
The key is that Princess Nanping's health is too bad.
People of similar family status to hers in the capital were all afraid to avoid her.
Nowadays, most young ladies start seeing each other when they are twelve or thirteen years old.
You can get married after you get haircut.
As for Princess Nanping, she is already sixteen years old this year, but she has not even decided on a marriage.
Anyone who knows the inside story knows that Princess Nanping is in poor health and cannot get a suitable marriage.
People who don't know the inside story may still wonder whether the royal family does not pay attention to Nanping and treats the remaining blood of the Huo family badly, so it delays the engagement for her.
Fortunately, the Huo family's military power has long been divided among several lieutenants.
The Huo family doesn't have much worth coveting.
Otherwise, the rumors will become even more unbearable.
The saint said, I am really unjust.
I made a little girl in Nanping a princess, and I also gave her all the property of Princess Yongjia.
If possible, the saint would also like to find a good family for Nanping as soon as possible.
She got married and gave birth to children. The relationship between the royal family and the Huo family had a perfect ending.
However, everything is good in Nanping, but my health is too poor.
And the reason why she was born with a flaw, ahem, was also caused by her own biological cousin.
Queen Mother Han: ...The Ai family is also aggrieved.
"A child from a poor family, his family background is too shallow."
The Queen Mother Han had already learned the hard lesson of marrying the wrong adopted daughter and did not want to mistreat her grandson again.
Moreover, Princess Nanping is different from Princess Yongjia. Nanping is the granddaughter of the Han family and has a blood relationship with the Queen Mother Han!
"Even if you win the top prize, it's just mediocre."
It is always said in dramas that princesses will marry the number one scholar. In fact, how many princesses actually marry the number one scholar?
It's just the conjecture of those down-and-out literati among the people.
Queen Mother Han couldn't help but shake her head.
"This man actually has some connections with Nanping."
"Does mother still remember that Nanping stayed in Heyin County for three years?"
After the saint got Zhao Qingyun's information, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was suitable for Princess Nanping.
A handsome young man with outstanding appearance and a simple family background.
Nan Ping has a weak temperament and is not in good health. He may-- at any time.
If you are like Princess Yongjia, you may not live well even if you marry into the family of your "in-laws".
It is better to marry into a poor family and be supported and coaxed by her husband's family as an ancestor.
If something unexpected happens in Nanping in the future, the saint will be able to bring the husband's family to justice without any pressure and give an "explanation" to the world and the Huo family's in-laws!
Ahem, the last one is definitely a painful lesson that the saint suffered in the Han family.
Alas, the saint could not punish Han Chong just because he was his biological cousin.
Princess Yongjia died angrily, the royal family was at odds, and many rumors arose among the people and the army.
The saint does not want to make the same mistake again.
It is better for a child from a poor family. The whole family will be buried with Princess Nanping. The saint will not hesitate at all.
It's not that she is a saint who always thinks that Nanping will die. She is actually a person who vomits blood at every turn. If you say that she will live a long life, who would believe it!
"At that time, Nanping lived next door to the Zhao family."
"I heard that the relationship between the two families is pretty good."
"After Nanping returned to Beijing, the Huo family went to Heyin County..."
Speaking of this paragraph, the saint's eyes looked a little dark and inexplicable.
Huo Yun has been dead for more than thirty years, and the Huo family army has long since fallen apart.
However, the Huo family still has some old members.
Huo Yun is worthy of being the adopted son of Taizu, and he also likes to have sons.
The current general of the Northwest Army is one of Huo Yun's godsons.
Although he is loyal to the court, who can guarantee what kind of situation this man is in when the general is away?
There are also some retired veterans of the Northwest Army who need to be "appeased".
"Do the people of the Huo family also think highly of that move?"
Queen Mother Han hesitated.
Although Nanping's surname is Han, those who care about her the most are some of Huo Yun's old subordinates...
