According to the laws of the Chu State, unless it is hereditary, the age of appointment should be based on the age of fourteen in the scientific examination.
However, Qian Zishu's official career ends here, and he may lose his position at any time.
When Qian Zishu returned home, he saw his adoptive mother, Mrs. Zhang, sitting on the steps with a bundle in her arms. Not only was her hair unkempt, but she also had a strange smell.
Qian Zishu pinched his nose and took two steps back, "Mom, what does it smell like on you?"
Mrs. Zhang's face froze, and she recounted what happened today, and finally said: "Brother Shu, I only have you..."
As they talked, they talked about going back to their parents’ house.
Mrs. Zhang vowed: "Brother Shu, you were raised by your mother since you were a child. She still doesn't know whether you have any future or not? When you become famous, even if they want to have this relationship, your mother won't agree!"
Qian Zishu couldn't say anything, but he didn't say anything. He invited Mrs. Zhang into the courtyard and said, "In a few days, my three brothers and sisters-in-law from the countryside, as well as their children, will live in. Mother, please take care of me."
Mrs. Zhang was already dissatisfied with the dilapidated courtyard, and she felt even more uncomfortable when she heard that Qian's family wanted to move in.
Although she was more partial to this adopted son because of the Taoist priest's words, how could she feel comfortable if the Qian family exchanged children for a son and treated her biological son like that? Not to mention living under the same roof with that family.
"I don't agree with this!"
Qian Zishu suddenly thought of those old foxes in the officialdom who were talking about him behind his back. He frowned and said, "Do you want me to blame my judgment and decision too?"
Now that the Zhang family has lost the huge backer of the General's Mansion, and her parents' family can't go back, can they not point to this adopted son?
Seeing that her adopted son looked wrong, Ms. Zhang immediately felt uneasy: "What, what's going on? But I'm being wronged outside?"
This was a prick in Qian Zishu's heart. He immediately turned cold and said, "It's okay. Mother, if you don't want to stay, I can help mother find an inn to stay."
Mrs. Zhang felt a chill in her heart and said with a sad look in her eyes: "Brother Shu, in your eyes, the Qian family are your relatives, right?"
Qian Zishu didn't reply.
He was a little tired, leaving only a trace of his back, so he went back to the house to sleep.
Mrs. Zhang found a random bedroom and lay down, but she couldn't sleep all night.
She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking about the life in the General's Mansion, the maids and servants who served her, and the old lady's words when she asked her to walk out of the General's Mansion empty-handed. Then her brothers turned against each other, her sisters-in-law's long-suppressed disgust was exposed, and finally she returned the favor.
There are adopted children who prefer money families...
He was about to fall asleep and suddenly woke up.
Mrs. Zhang looked around with desperate eyes filled with vicissitudes of life, where is this...?
She recalled it and found that the memory points were inconsistent with her previous life. First, the old lady caught her going through the back door and intercepted the capital she would give to the beast in the future. Second, the difference between this yard and the yard where the beast was first rewarded by His Majesty was different.
Different places.
No matter what, there were signs yesterday that the beast was targeting the Qian family! It took her a lifetime to see through and figure it out, it was ridiculous.
It's really ridiculous.
After she abandoned Shiro and her own children, even though that beast rose to prominence, he always wanted to be with the Qian family!
Ms. Zhang spat at the bedside, her eyes blurred with tears, and she couldn't help but laugh again.
She's back, she's back...
She hurriedly dug out from under her pillow the hundred taels of silver she had begged from her parents' house.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
A knock on the door interrupted Zhang's thoughts.
Mrs. Zhang covered her bag warily, "Who?!"
"Mom, it's me."
Hatred began to appear in Zhang's eyes. She hurriedly hid the baggage, sorted out her thoughts, got out of bed, opened the door, and said: "Shu, Shu brother...what's wrong?"
The moment he opened the door, Qian Zishu was stunned for a moment.
He felt that Zhang was a little different from yesterday, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
After he calmed down, he said: "Mom, my brother, sister-in-law, nieces and nephews will arrive today, please be more careful then."
Based on Qian Zishu's understanding of Zhang, he said he would send her to the inn and she would eventually compromise with him.
The same was true in her previous life. After the Qian family members moved in, she used things from the general's house to clean up the whole house. In the end, Qian Zishu accused her of being lavish, claiming that he was keeping things for her, but in the end, those things were gone forever.
, the Qian family’s faces were exposed.
She was wronged and went to Qian Zishu to reason with her. How did this beast treat her?
Qian Zishu said with a sincere face, "Mom, my brother and sister-in-law suffered a lot in the past. You are different from them. You grew up with good food and clothing, so you should be more considerate."
Care? What care?
If she hadn't favored this beast and listened to the old lady and sent him back to Qian's house, how could she have done all this nonsense?!
Yes, Qian Zishu finally became famous and prosperous. How much happiness did she enjoy? She was pissed to death!
If I had known this, I might as well have died on the road of exile like the General Mansion!
She regretted it, but luckily God gave her a chance to change her ways.
Instead of getting anything out of the general's house, I also collected a sum of money from my parents' house. This money must never fall into the hands of this beast again!
Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Brother Shu, my mother has treated you well over the years, hasn't she?"
Qian Zishu was surprised that Mrs. Zhang didn't answer, and asked curiously: "Mom, what do you want to say?"
"In this way, you have ruined the General's Mansion into this mess, and Mom won't hold you accountable. You want to take money for your family to enjoy the blessings in advance, and Mom won't stop you. I'll just treat my love for you these years as a wolf's heart feeding a dog's lungs.
Mom owes a lot to Brother Li. She thought about it all night last night and now she wants to make up for it...
Brother Shu, today I will treat you as a mother and the relationship between mother and son is over. You walk on your Yangguan Road, and I will cross mine on the single-plank bridge. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other, how about that?"
Qian Zishu was dumbfounded.
He never thought that his adoptive mother, who had loved him for more than ten years, would one day leave him!
Qian Zishu thought of what those bureaucrats said about him behind his back, and he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, "Do you think I'm a white-eyed wolf too?"
Do you think this is necessary? You are.
She said it clearly, but he didn't hear it? Was her voice too soft?
Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to say: "Of course the Qian family is your blood relative, but I also have my own blood relatives. For your sake, regardless of Brother Li's thoughts, I will continue to raise you under my knees and push him towards the old lady. In the same situation, you
Regardless of what I thought, I was wronged to stay in an inn and let Qian's family move in.
Qian Zishu, I have never been sorry to you, but what you said yesterday really chilled my heart. Since the general's mansion is in its current situation, it is your 'credit', and you can't escape being an accomplice... I figured it out, I
I would rather go back and follow the people in the General's Mansion, so as not to continue to be cold-hearted."
Qian Zishu was startled and said, "Mom, I didn't mean that. I just said what I said yesterday casually..."
"Just talking? Do you want to accept Qian's family or not?"
"mother……"
"Don't call me mother again. Your surname is Qian, and you didn't crawl out of my belly. After all, we have no blood relationship."
"Mom, aren't you chilling my heart?"
"Aren't you cold to my heart? I knew clearly that the old lady sent the old Qian couple to prison and they are still in jail. As the fourth wife of the General's Mansion at the time, I acquiesced to this matter. I took them here because they wanted to find them.
The people in the General's Mansion have no one to settle the accounts with, but they can't take it out on me, the former fourth wife of the General's Mansion?"
"Mom, you are worrying too much."
"I didn't think too much about it. Their family can even change their children, so what else can they not dare to do?"
"mother!"
"Don't call me mother again!" Ms. Zhang said again.
Qian Zishu was exhausted physically and mentally. He waved his sleeves and said as if he was no longer bothered, and said, "It's up to you."
Mrs. Zhang quickly packed up her baggage and ran away.
As for her natal family... wouldn't her natal family know about the misfortune she suffered in the Qian family in her previous life? They are still using her name to make money outside. She is shorter than Qian Zishu and can't speak. There are also brothers and sisters in her natal family who don't stand up for her.
For the sake of thinking.
Since they are all weak, let’s take care of each other from now on.
