Chapter 181 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (sixty-eight)
Of course, Han Jiaojiao had just given birth and suffered from dystocia. Even if she "healed her scars and forgot about the pain" and wanted to have another daughter, Zhao Qingyun and Gu Qingcheng would not agree.
Aunt Zhao almost wiped her tears, held Han Jiaojiao's hand, and begged in every possible way.
Han Jiaojiao: ... Giving birth is indeed very painful and dangerous, but my mother-in-law loves me, my husband is reliable, and I am not so resistant to the birth and other matters!
Besides, her mother-in-law is so beautiful. If she doesn't give birth to a little granddaughter who looks like her, Han Jiaojiao will always feel like she's at a loss.
Zhao Qingyun:...Ha! Woman!
Although Zhao Qingyun always feels like he is a giveaway, Zhao Qingyun is still very happy that the relationship between his wife and mother can be so harmonious.
Only when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in harmony can the husband and wife be harmonious, and the Zhao family can have a stable backyard.
Now that he has a son, the Zhao family's incense continues. Zhao Qingyun misses his wife more and more, and takes more care of Han Jiaojiao.
So, when Han Jiaojiao was out of confinement and her relatives and friends came to drink full moon wine, the female family members were surprised to find——
Han Jiaojiao, who was thin, frail and sickly, became smooth and rosy after giving birth to a child.
He has gained weight all over, and his palm-sized face is chubby.
The key is that her spirit is very good.
Whether a woman's life is going smoothly or not can be seen on her face.
Han Jiaojiao's face was filled with happiness and comfort.
The noble ladies were also surprised to find that Han Jiaojiao, who was married and had a child, still maintained the naivety of a young girl.
Like her mother-in-law, she has clear singleness in her eyes.
"Princess Nanping must have a very happy life in the Zhao family!"
"No, look at her little appearance, tsk tsk, she's even better than at her parents' house!"
"...Hmph, Nanping is a low-income married woman. Wouldn't it be too pitiful if her life is not good anymore?"
"Can you live well if you marry low? Are there too few noble girls in Beijing who marry low?"
Everyone was discussing in low voices.
Someone was talking and glanced at Zheng Wanjun who was standing aside.
This one also married lowly.
It sounds like they are having a good time.
However, when Zheng Wanjun saw the way Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiaojiao got along with each other, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, her eyes clearly shone with envy.
Gu Qingcheng, the mother-in-law, has many shortcomings.
Zheng Wanjun used to be very picky.
However, after she got married and really got along with her mother-in-law, she realized that Gu Qingcheng was already a very rare and good mother-in-law.
Timid, sickly, soft-eared, unable to take on things...what do these things mean?
At least they are obedient.
Moreover, I also know "gratitude"——
If you marry a noble girl and get the benefits of being a daughter-in-law, people will accept it obediently.
Even if you are ridiculed or laughed at, they will accept it calmly.
Unlike his mother-in-law, the once pitiful Mrs. Ji San, despite having the same shortcomings, still felt that she was capable.
Self-righteous and smart.
Although Mrs. Ji San did not dare to go against Zheng Wanjun, she secretly brought her natal niece here and acted in various ways in front of her son, which made Zheng Wanjun disgusted.
My family's kindness to the Ji family is as high as the heavens and the seas are deep, but Lady Ji Sanni has never been grateful.
She suffered from her mother-in-law back then, so she wanted her daughter-in-law to taste it twice as well.
Even though my family still has to rely on my daughter-in-law to live, I still can't figure out how to impress my mother-in-law.
...My mother-in-law has so many wonderful things that I can't finish them in three days and three nights.
Fortunately, Ji Keji "realized" and did not listen to Mrs. Ji Sanni's instigation, but stood in front of Zheng Wanjun.
Zheng Wanjun finally didn't have to face the best-in-law's family in person.
However, seeing Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiaojiao, a more harmonious pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zheng Wanjun couldn't help but feel envious, even a little jealous and regretful——
She originally had the opportunity to be Mrs. Gu's daughter-in-law.
Zheng Wanjun's heart was very complicated, and she felt a little depressed when she looked at it.
The ladies didn't know about Zheng Wanjun's past relationship with the Zhao family. They only thought that when she saw the happy Han Jiaojiao, she thought of the chicken feathers in her own house.
The sweet love story between Zheng Wanjun and Ji Keji is indeed circulated in Beijing.
But these noble ladies have long been married and have to live under the hands of their mother-in-law.
Some people still haven't "become a mother-in-law after many years of marriage".
Therefore, noble ladies know very well that no matter how good their husband is, they cannot compare to a reliable mother-in-law.
Uh, no, not reliable, but a reasonable and good mother-in-law.
That's not right, you don't have to be reasonable, as long as you can be considerate of your daughter-in-law and don't cause trouble for your daughter-in-law, then this husband's family is worth marrying.
Just like what Zheng Wanjun complained about, Zhao Qingyun, the mother-in-law, has many shortcomings, but she will never make mistakes at critical moments.
At this time, the news that Han Jiaojiao had difficulty giving birth and had to use scissors on her body had not yet spread.
However, Zhao Qingyun did not take any concubines, sleep with maids, or have extramarital affairs during Han Jiaojiao's pregnancy. The powerful people in Beijing saw this.
Yes, Han Jiaojiao married lowly.
Zhao Qingyun was a new top scholar with no foundation. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Beijing, he had to support Han Jiaojiao.
However, in addition to status, there are also etiquette and rules.
But in this era, even if you are as noble as a princess, you can be forgiven if you are pregnant or your consort sleeps with another woman.
If a more virtuous woman does not need men to steal her food, she will take the initiative to help her husband.
Even a saint would understand that Zhao Qingyun, who had a high profile with Princess Nanping, secretly slept with a woman.
There are even mother-in-laws who give their sons women, which is a basic operation.
As for the Zhao family, neither Zhao Qingyun, the husband, nor Gu, the mother-in-law, interfered with Han Jiaojiao during her pregnancy.
This alone makes her the best husband and the best mother-in-law!
"By the way, I heard that the Zhao family has a younger son?"
"It seems that his name is Zhao Qingsong, and he joins the army in the northwest."
"My son is also on duty in Prince Kang's Mansion and has some contacts with Zhao Zhuangyuan. I heard that his brother is three years younger than him."
"You are three years younger, so you are now sixteen this year?"
"...You haven't gotten married yet, have you?"
The noble lady who asked this question just finished speaking, and the expressions of the people chatting changed slightly.
The family tradition is good, there is an excellent brother, the mother-in-law is confused in small things, but very reliable in big things. He joined the army at a young age and has already achieved military exploits...
Oh my, what a good choice for son-in-law.
Even if your family has a high family status, or there is no suitable daughter, there is always a suitable young lady in your natal family or in-laws' family!
At a full moon banquet, Han Jiaojiao made a shining "comeback", and Zhao Qingyun was highly praised.
But, in the end, the one who received the most attention turned out to be Zhao Qingsong, who had just returned from the northwest.
"A sneeze! A sneeze, a sneeze!"
Following Zhao Qingyun, the powerful Zhao Qingsong helped his brother ward off the wine.
After just a few drinks, I suddenly sneezed a series of times.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Qingyun smiled and greeted the guests, and asked a few questions in a low voice while pouring wine.
"It's okay! It's just that my nose suddenly felt a little itchy."
Zhao Qingsong is no longer the ignorant kid who followed his brother back then.
In terms of body shape, Zhao Qingsong seems to have inherited some genes from the Gu family.
Tall and strong, standing in front of Zhao Qingyun, he was a head taller than his brother.
The key is to be robust enough.
A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and brave.
The originally fair skin was tanned into a healthy wheat color due to years of outdoor training.
However, he is still fundamentally different from the Gu family's grandfather and uncles——
The appearance is exquisite enough!
He may not be as handsome as his brother, but he has the handsomeness and vigor of a young general.
The two little brothers stood together, one civilized and one military, one white and one black, one as gentle as water and the other as bright as the scorching sun.
Zhao Qingsong looks a little immature and has a bit of childishness.
But there was already a fierce determination in his brows.
"The second son is extraordinary and will become a great weapon in the future!"
The male guests couldn't help but sigh secretly when they saw the equally dazzling Zhao Qingsong.
After the full moon banquet was over, the male and female guests, who were divided into two tables, returned home. The couple met and talked about what happened at the banquet.
The noble lady couldn't help but sigh: "Nanping is marrying to the right family when she marries the Zhao family."
Her husband was praising her, "Zhao Qingyun has a beautiful appearance and an extraordinary bearing. He looks like something out of the ordinary."
Lady: "The Zhao family has a good family tradition. My mother-in-law seems confused, but she understands important things."
Husband: "Zhao Qingyun is highly valued by King Kang. His Royal Highness King Kang personally came to his son's full moon wine."
Lady: "The second son of the Zhao family should also be excellent."
Husband: "Zhao Qingyun's younger brother Zhao Qingsong is very good!"
The couple talked for a long time, and finally reached an agreement on Zhao Qingsong.
Lady: "Mr. Lang, have you seen the second man of the Zhao family? He is really good!" What does he look like? What is his character like?
The husband nodded, "That boy is indeed very good. He is not as handsome as Zhao Zhuangyuan, but he still has the handsomeness and might of a man."
"The two brothers seem to have a very good relationship. They are respectful brothers and sisters..."
When the husband said this, he couldn't help but look sad.
He and his brothers had also been at peace.
Unfortunately, as you grow up, marry and have children, all kinds of problems arise.
Now, they are obviously brothers, but they have become relatives.
Their family is relatively good, and the brothers have not turned against each other.
But, in the end, it got further and further away.
Suddenly seeing the two young brothers from the Zhao family who were in love with each other, my husband was somewhat envious and recalled them.
"I just said that the Zhao family's family tradition is excellent!"
The wife doesn't care about brotherly harmony or anything like that.
Sooner or later they will separate.
As long as he is reliable and his mother-in-law is not a troublemaker, this man is worth marrying.
"Lang Jun, what do you think we recruit Zhao Qingsong as our son-in-law?"
The lady changed the topic and went straight to the topic.
Husband: ...Why are you talking about other people’s family affairs, and then it’s about your own family?
However, if you think about it carefully, Zhao Qingsong is indeed good.
In addition to his legitimate fourth daughter, his beloved concubine also gave birth to two daughters.
Now that we have reached the age of talking about marriage, it’s time to have a good look at each other!
The lady and her husband each have their own plans...
