Chapter 177 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (sixty-four)
After the horse parade was over, the Queen Mother summoned Zhao Qingyun.
Originally, the Queen Mother wanted to summon Gu Qingcheng into the palace.
But isn't he sick?
As the Queen Mother, no matter how noble she is, she cannot carry a poor person lingering on her sick bed into the palace.
The Queen Mother was really worried, so she had to call Zhao Qingyun before the saint issued the order.
The sage has already inspected it and asked Zhao Qingyun if he is a match.
The county magistrate of Heyin County has also handed over a document detailing the situation of Zhao Qingyun and the Zhao family.
The sage confirmed the statements of both parties and concluded that Zhao Qingyun did not speak and he was indeed unmarried.
The family tradition of the Zhao family is indeed very good. Elders are kind, brothers are friendly, sisters-in-law love each other, and children and grandchildren are filial.
The entire Zhao family can be said to be a model of family harmony.
Along with this, the folk customs of the entire Heyin County seem to have been improved.
Zhao Qingyun’s knowledge and talents have been verified by scientific examinations at all levels;
His appearance is directly there.
The saint liked it all when he saw it. If it were not for the Queen Mother, he would have made an order on the spot.
Queen Mother:...Is it really that good?
She had doubts and summoned Zhao Qingyun into the palace.
Well, this man is really good-looking, with a face like a crown of jade, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a kind of "poetry-filled" temperament, which makes him even more gentle and gentle as jade, a humble gentleman.
"So what if you are good-looking? If your character is not good, is it not a person with a human face and a beast-like heart?"
The Queen Mother said to herself this way.
Then, she started asking targeted questions.
for example--
"The young scholar who is the number one scholar must have a lot of requirements for his wife. To be in charge of the middle-class husband, to have children, to be a husband and to educate the children——"
These women are not very delicate, but they are the kind wives and mothers that men need most.
The Queen Mother concealed her emotions and deliberately spoke in the tone of a bystander.
Zhao Qingyun smiled slightly, "The common people marry wives, not housekeepers."
A wife should be loved and guarded with all her heart, not used to work.
When he said this, he was not lying at all.
Growing up, he always watched his capable father, who was always at home and abroad.
As for mother, she only needs to be beautiful and well-behaved.
She doesn't have to do anything.
That is to say, men cannot give birth to children, otherwise the father would probably be able to take care of the pregnancy and childbirth.
After his father passed away, Zhao Qingyun took over his father's responsibility and began to take care of his sick mother.
He was also used to this kind of life of studying and taking imperial examinations outside and taking care of everything at home.
Zhao Qingyun does not need to marry an equally powerful wife to share the burden.
Whether you call him a chauvinist or he looks down on women, he always feels that he can do it alone.
He doesn't like women who are too strong.
Just like Zheng Wanjun next door.
He has a good background, strong abilities, and is a very "prosperous man".
However, she looked down upon the weak and confused Gu family.
She is not very close to her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and she has no sense of belonging to her husband's clan.
Excellent?
Even if the people in the Ji family's old house can't get on the stage, the daughter-in-law can't be too contemptuous.
If you directly engage in confrontation and make the situation become like fire and water, you are not a truly smart person.
This person is ideologically inconsistent with Zhao Qingyun.
The stronger her ability is, the worse it will be for Zhao Qingyun.
He was also afraid that such a capable wife would bring him trouble.
It's better to be like my mother, unable to work but still obedient.
Princess Nanping?
Han Jiaojiao!
The little tail that followed her mother back then, and the "weak" figure in the restaurant.
Zhao Qingyun had an inexplicable feeling that he and Han Jiaojiao were struck by lightning, oh no, they were a match made in heaven!
With this understanding, Zhao Qingyun's performance was extremely satisfactory to the Queen Mother.
I don’t despise my wife for being sick and weak, and I don’t care whether she can manage the house and socialize.
That's great, most men in the world can't do it.
Even if he is a son-in-law who is living a soft life, he must let his wife bring her own property to serve him.
The Queen Mother also learned from Zhao Qingyun that his mother was a sickly woman and that in the Zhao family, men had always been "in charge of the whole family"!
What a tradition!
There is no such thing as a man taking charge of the outside and a woman taking charge of the house, but a man who controls both the inside and the outside!
The Queen Mother began to act like a mother-in-law, and the more she looked at Zhao Qingyun, the more satisfied she became.
Later, Gu's health seemed to be getting better, and Zhao Qingyun accompanied her to the palace.
The Queen Mother did not see the vulgar and shrewish old widow she imagined, but instead saw a weak, frail, extremely beautiful single woman.
Very good, the Queen Mother no longer has to worry about Mrs. Gu turning into an evil mother-in-law who beats and scolds her daughter-in-law!
He is so "innocent" and very easy to coax.
There was no need for Han Jiaojiao to intervene. The Queen Mother could randomly assign two old ladies to coax Mrs. Gu into submission.
Finally, the Queen Mother asked the abbot of Ci'en Temple, Zhao Qingyun and Han Jiaojiao, to combine their horoscopes.
Choose the best!
A match made in heaven!
The Queen Mother no longer had any worries.
The saint issued a decree granting marriage.
Zhao Qingyun, the new champion, suddenly became a county horse master.
The rich and powerful children in the capital were completely relieved and secretly sympathized with Zhao Qingyun: Marrying a sick man with a high status, tsk tsk, this day, it must have never happened!
But soon, these people regretted it.
Three months later, Han Jiaojiao got married.
One hundred and sixty-eight dowries, each dowry was solid.
The real Shili Hongzhuang filled the imperial palace of the Zhao family.
The emcee who sang the dowry list was hoarse.
The prosperous shops on East Main Street, the shops in East and West Markets, the five- and seven-door courtyards, and the thousands of acres of farms on the outskirts of the city.
There are also salt fields on the seaside and pastures outside the mouth.
Two Hundred People's Songs, a pile of gold, silver, jade, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, a unique and unique copy.
Gold and silver are the least conspicuous.
What really shocked everyone was a horse farm in the northwest.
Large tracts of grassland, thousands of horses, and hundreds of retired veterans.
Tsk tsk, if Zhao Qingyun has the means to send people to the northwest to run the business properly, he will surely gain a lot.
Then, news came out that Zhao Qingyun had a younger brother who was serving as a soldier in the northwest and was promoted to captain at the age of fifteen!
have to!
The remaining inheritance of the Huo family was not taken by Duke Cheng En, which completely gave the Zhao family an advantage.
At this moment, many powerful and powerful people came to their senses——
Han Jiaojiao is not only a sick girl who cannot be beaten or scolded, she is also a rich woman with countless assets.
It is an exaggeration to say that she is as rich as a country, but her dowry alone is enough for the Zhao family and three generations of descendants to spend extravagantly.
"Hmph! There may not be any descendants."
"That's right, Han Jiaojiao vomits blood at every turn. The Zhao family may have just finished a happy event and are about to have a funeral."
"When the time comes, Queen Mother, the saint will be furious. What do you say about the dowry? It is estimated that it will even cost the lives of the whole family!"
A group of regretful people did not want to admit that they had been blind - they could not see the mountains with their eyes, and they mistook pearls for dead fish eyes, so they couldn't help but say some sarcastic words.
Unfortunately, reality soon slapped them in the face.
Han Jiaojiao married into the Zhao family with a rich marriage, but she did not get sick or vomit blood.
The next day, although she was weak, she went into the palace with her husband to express her gratitude.
In the days that followed, the Zhao family occasionally called the imperial doctor, but there was no news that Han Jiaojiao was "seriously ill".
"Impossible! She, how could she have such a good life?"
The step-wife couldn't sit still for a while.
During this time, she was waiting to see Han Jiaojiao's jokes.
It would be really lively if on the first day of the wedding, people made a fuss about hiring an imperial doctor.
As a result, there was no result at all.
I heard that the Queen Mother was very satisfied, and the old widow and mother-in-law of the Zhao family were also very kind.
The step-wife is full of resentment.
He secretly ordered someone to stab the little man, and he sat in the small Buddhist hall. Instead of reciting the scriptures, he kept cursing.
On the day she returned home on the third day, the step-wife even deliberately called Han Mingzhu's fiancé Cheng Wulang.
The step-wife thinks that Cheng Wulang is a son of a wealthy family and the most impressive one.
Moreover, he admired Han Mingzhu's talents and was very attentive to her.
Comparing such a well-matched future couple, Qin Se and Ming, will definitely compare to Zhao Qingyun, who was born in a farmer's family and suddenly became rich from poverty.
However, the fact is-
Cheng Wulang indeed admired Han Mingzhu, but he also had the pride of a noble family and the dignity of a man.
He was polite, respectful and much better than ordinary men to Han Mingzhu.
But Zhao Qingyun was different. He took great care of Han Jiaojiao and was extremely careful.
Asking for questions, picking up food and rice...he did not perform any of the details deliberately, but did them very naturally.
He didn't dislike Han Jiaojiao for being weak and coughing every now and then, but his eyes were full of concern and distress.
In fact, everyone vaguely felt that Zhao Qingyun seemed to enjoy taking care of Han Jiaojiao very much.
"Is this a man? He is so attentive to women?"
Men are angry.
"Is this still a man who is so considerate and gentle to his wife?"
Women are envious.
Of course, there are also women who can't stand it, such as step-wives.
She was jealous and cursed secretly: "What are you proud of? Even if a man is gentle and mean to you because of your status, your mother-in-law will not tolerate you!"
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies.
Not to mention strangers who are not related by blood, they are step-wives, the duchess's wife, and biological aunts and nephews.
Before marrying into the Han family, the Duke's wife treated her step-wife as her own daughter and tried her best to arrange a marriage between her and Han Chong.
After the step-wife passed away, she and Han Chong also had a sweet time for a year or two.
At this time, the Duke's wife didn't like the step-wife.
She doesn't openly discuss matters with her, but always creates obstacles for her step-wife in invisible places.
After Han Jiaojiao returned to Beijing, her step-wife was punished twice. Although she begged for mercy, she still took the opportunity to punish her step-wife.
The step-wife finally understood that as long as there is a relationship like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, an aunt and nephew who are as close as mother and daughter can also have hatred.
This is true for relatives, let alone strangers.
The step-wife was eagerly waiting for the Zhao family to hear the joke about the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
One day, two days, one month, two months... until the Dragon Boat Festival in May, the Zhao family was very harmonious.
Gu and Han Jiaojiao, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were even seen going out to have tea and worship Buddha together.
That intimate look doesn't look like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all, more like mother and daughter who are directly related to each other...
