Chapter 167 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (54)
"Ms. Gu, I am a neighbor in the east courtyard of your home. My husband's surname is Yang, and he was born in the year of Yiwei."
The woman who laughed out loud looked like she was in her twenties.
She has a delicate appearance but a very outgoing personality.
She came up to her with a smile, deliberately ignoring Mrs. Zhao, and only greeted Gu Qingcheng: "My maiden name is Liu, just call me Mrs. Liu!"
Madam Liu's attitude was a little more respectful.
Although Gu Qingcheng looks young, his son has a lot of potential.
Madam Liu has already found out clearly that Madam Gu’s son is not only the Young Juren, but also the number one Jie Yuan.
She and her husband share the same subject, so Mrs. Gu is the "elder".
Whenever Gu Qingcheng looks more mature, Madam Liu will politely call her "Auntie".
But, facing Gu Qingcheng's young and beautiful face, Lady Liu really couldn't open her mouth.
She could only vaguely shout "Ms. Gu".
However, they still showed respect in their words.
Such a beautiful woman did not remarry after her husband died, but devoted herself to raising her son.
Judging from her frail and timid appearance, she probably doesn't have a mean or twisted temperament.
Mrs. Gu's character and disposition should not be bad.
Mrs. Gu, a widowed mother, and Mrs. Zhao next door are definitely not the same person!
"Aunt! Brother, you are here!"
While the three neighbors were talking, Zhao Qingyang ran out of the yard.
He first saluted Gu Qingcheng.
Zhao Qingyang's attitude was very respectful, as if Gu Qingcheng, a young and beautiful woman, was a respected elder to him.
Madam Liu looks carefree, but she is actually very considerate.
"This Mr. Zhao is Zhao Jieyuan's cousin, right? Your Zhao family has a really good family tradition."
It is normal for a person to support his family members when he is successful.
But Zhao Qingyang's attitude is worth pondering.
He not only fawned over Gu's mother and son, but also respected them from the bottom of his heart.
"Mrs. Liu, you don't know something. My aunt is the 'noble' of our Zhao family, and she is also the benefactor of all our juniors."
Zhao Qingyang became a little excited when he mentioned his aunt.
He kept talking, "My aunt is the first chaste woman in our county, and our Zhao family is well-known for being a harmonious family in our county."
"Before my cousin passed the examination as a scholar, the county magistrate wrote an inscription on the Zhao family: House of Accumulated Good Deeds!"
"My aunt helps to educate the girls in the family, and my brother looks for a future for us cousins and clan brothers."
"...We in the Zhao family are all deeply grateful for Auntie's kindness!"
Lady Liu listened carefully. If she had not looked at Gu Qingcheng's charming face and only listened to Zhao Qingyang's praise, she would have imagined an image of a majestic, loving, benevolent and righteous old woman.
But the Gu Qingcheng in front of her was too beautiful, too young, and she looked soft and weak.
Mrs. Liu could not equate her with the "virtuous woman" in Zhao Qingyang's words.
However, Lady Liu would not question it.
Zhao Qingyang's tone and expression didn't seem fake.
His gratitude to Madam Gu came from the bottom of his heart.
There must be something outstanding about a woman who can be so respected by her husband's nephew.
Mrs. Zhao on the side has already woken up from the shock of Gu Qingcheng's beauty, age, and other blows.
When she heard Zhao Qingyang's "exaggerated" praise of Gu Qingcheng, she couldn't help curling her lips.
Humph, these country pariahs have the nerve to say any nonsense just to curry favor with their promising cousin.
They all come from farmers, who doesn't know that the most indispensable thing in the countryside is unruly people who bully the weak and fear the strong?
After her husband passed away, his brothers and clansmen wished they could eat their orphans and widowed mothers alive.
It was all thanks to her desperate behavior that she was able to save her family's house and fields.
Even so, those bastards from my in-laws' family did a lot of scheming and bullying.
Mrs. Zhao has almost cut off all contact with her husband's family, and even the people in the same village have almost turned against her.
After Zhao Zhi passed the exam to be a scholar, the dog-like patriarch came to sue for peace, but was directly scolded by Mrs. Zhao.
After falling out with the Zhao clan, Zhao Zhi had no other support. In order to continue studying, he had to marry the daughter of a wealthy businessman.
For this reason, Mrs. Zhao often cursed: As long as the Zhao family is willing to take care of us orphans and widowed mothers, my son will not marry a merchant's daughter just for a few bouquets.
After Zhao Zhi won the election, the Zhao family gathered around again. Old and new hatreds came to Zhao's heart, and she fought with them again.
Huh, you bullied us in the past and made my son almost become a son-in-law, and now you are here to show your courtesy, no way!
When she comes to Beijing this time, Mrs. Zhao will sell her property directly, and she also has the idea of completely severing ties with the Zhao clan.
Mrs. Zhao likes to use herself to save others. She feels that all widows in the world should be as pitiful and respectable as her.
I also feel that those members of my husband’s family are also bastards who eat people without spitting out their bones.
Therefore, after listening to Zhao Qingyang's words, I only felt one word - fake!
Too fake!
Unless Mrs. Gu is too stupid and mistakes evil people for good people.
Huh?
It's possible!
Mrs. Zhao's eyes were wandering around Gu Qingcheng, and she had a vague idea in her mind.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Qingyun and Zhao Qingyang helped Gu Qingcheng into the courtyard.
Two little girls, Zhao Shuyi and Gu Lanyin, followed behind.
There are also the Gu family, a group of juniors from the Zhao family, moving in and out.
Lady Liu stood at the door and chatted with a son of the Zhao family or the Gu family. She increasingly felt that the new Zhao Jieyuan family was "unfathomable".
"Zhao Jieyuan's mother is quite interesting!"
After returning home, Lady Liu said to her husband Yang Yu, who was studying: "She looks soft and frail, but she is a wise woman who has raised two sons."
"Let's just say she is a virtuous woman who only cares for her husband's family. She also supports her mother-in-law's family."
"But if we say that she and her husband's family are not of the same mind, the younger generation of her husband's family is full of praise for her, and there is no dissatisfaction at all!"
In this era, it is really not easy for a married woman to do this.
Yang Yu is not a person who likes gossip.
Rather than being a widowed mother, he cared about Zhao Jieyuan, who was the same age as him.
"This Lord Jie Yuang is really only eighteen years old?"
Too young. The key is that he passed the examination three years ago.
Yang Yu couldn't even imagine a fifteen-year-old Juren.
"She looks more childish. However, her demeanor looks good."
Lady Liu's eyes were full of little stars, "The key is that Zhao Jieyuan looks like a mother, and Pan An and Wei Jie in ancient times probably looked like him."
It's not that Mrs. Liu is "greedy", but that everyone has the attribute of controlling their appearance.
Yang Yu blinked. The focus of his and his wife's attention was never on the same channel.
His wife is his biological cousin, and they grew up together.
The friendship between childhood sweethearts, the affection between uncles and cousins, and the vague love in their youth, the two of them have known each other for almost half their lives.
The two have long been integrated into each other's flesh and blood. You are in me, and I am in you.
Therefore, Yang Yu won the national examination at the age of 23 and was well-known locally as a young and talented person. Many people wanted to invest in advance.
Yang Yu refused them all.
He never thought of throwing away the "dregs".
Ahem, his cousin is not a bastard, but his little girl!
…
The other "Jiaojiao" is sitting lazily in the carriage.
A few days ago, it was her mother's death, so she went to Ci'en Temple outside the city to perform a ritual for her mother.
After staying in the temple for three days, after the rituals were completed, she returned to the inner city early this morning.
The luxurious horse-drawn carriage walked slowly along the horizontal and vertical streets.
Neither fast nor slow.
Suddenly, the car stopped suddenly, and Han Jiaojiao almost knocked her head against the carriage.
"What's wrong? What happened outside?"
Han Jiaojiao was not afraid either.
In the capital city, no one dared to bully her.
Regardless of her status, she is just famous for being "sick and weak", and even the most arrogant dandies in the capital do not dare to provoke her.
Dandies:...What are you doing to provoke her?
He cries at every turn, and vomits blood when he cries!
Even though I have been vomiting for several years, I have never hiccupped.
But the way Han Jiaojiao vomited blood was so scary.
Han Jiaojiao is not dead yet. The person who "bullyed" her was first frightened to death, then when she got home, she was beaten to death by her elders.
Of course, after these few years, some people also doubted whether Han Jiaojiao was pretending.
For example, the step-sibling of the Han family lost her first PK with Han Jiaojiao and lost her stewardship rights for nothing.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law was her biological aunt, and after being honest for a few months, she was raised up again.
The step-wife was unwilling to give in and tried to find flaws in Han Jiaojiao.
By chance, she discovered that vomiting blood could be faked, so she deliberately took the opportunity of a palace feast to expose Han Jiaojiao in public.
As a result, the red fruit pulp she insisted on was not found, and Han Jiaojiao was so "stimulated" that she vomited blood on the spot.
Everyone saw it, the real vomiting of blood, and the scarlet blood stains on the veil were not fake at all.
The nobles in the palace were angry and scolded the step-wife for being unkind.
At this time, the wife of the Han family could no longer protect her. After pleading in every possible way, the step-wife was sent to a nunnery outside the city.
Three full years later, it was Han Jiaojiao who went to the palace in person to plead for mercy, and the step-wife was released!
After this battle, no one dared to offend Han Jiaojiao.
Everyone was also convinced that Han Jiaojiao was really "sick".
Han Jiaojiao: ...Humph, Auntie has already said that you can’t always lie.
There are many ways to "vomit blood".
Using fruit pulp, syrup, or even chicken blood is too fake.
Bite the tip of your tongue, or put a small "blood bag" in your mouth and bite it directly to make it more realistic.
Of course, what her aunt told her was to see a different doctor regularly every month, which was the most important thing.
As for pulse diagnosis, it can also be disturbed.
Holding something under your arm or doing some strenuous exercise beforehand can make your pulse look very confused.
... Han Jiaojiao's outrageous operation made all the doctors in the imperial hospital say: This noble man is born with deficiencies, with both qi and blood deficiency. He needs to rest and cannot bear stimulation!
Anyway, she is just a porcelain doll and will break when touched.
Relying on this "broken" body, Han Jiaojiao not only became "invincible in Beijing", she also successfully turned herself into an older leftover girl!
