The farmer has a mall

Chapter 555
Mrs. Xie is Shang Guoping's stepmother, who is also in her 40s this year.

Her father's official position is not high. Before she married into Shang's family, she was a fourth-rank official in the court and served as the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.

Now almost 30 years have passed, and he has only been promoted to a higher level, serving as the fourth-rank Guanglu Temple Minister.

Although the official position is low, Guanglu Temple is in charge of sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, wine, food and delicacies, which is rich in oil and water.

As the second-in-command when he was young, although Xie's natal family was not considered rich, they were much better than their peers of the same rank.

Therefore, as the daughter of the Xie family, the Xie family's dowry must not be insignificant.

Now the entire Guanglu Temple is in the hands, let alone.

The Xie family is rich and powerful, and she takes care of the children's food and clothing, even Shang Guoping, the eldest son of Shang, has benefited a lot.

But this is also what Mr. Shang dislikes Xie Shi the most.

He's not the kind of person who can't look down on his descendants, but he has to have a degree in everything.

Xie's son and daughter, what kind of upbringing did she make!
Domineering at a young age, he only knows how to compare all day long, using power and wealth to save others.

If he had nothing to do, he took a group of servants for a walk all over the street. If anyone accidentally offended them, if the other party's official position was not as high as his great-grandfather, he would be beaten up.

If you meet someone with a higher official position than him, you will go up to make connections.

Although Mr. Shang doesn't like to be in contact with people, he can't count the number of people who have complained to him over the years.

But every time he called those two children over to reprimand them, Mrs. Xie still protected them.

It is said that no one was killed, just pay for some soup and medicine, and her Xie family is not short of money.

Is this what a mother said!

Master Shang's heart aches when he thinks about it.

Therefore, when he saw Mrs. Xie's figure coming out from behind the wall, it was obvious that he had squatted there to eavesdrop a long time ago, and his face became even more ugly.

However, like her man, Mrs. Xie is not a master who can read people's faces.

Or, even if you can see that his face is wrong, you don't care.

"The father-in-law searched all over the capital. Is there any stepmother who is as magnanimous as the daughter-in-law, who not only raised the stepson, but now has to support the stepson's family."

Mrs. Xie dressed very richly and wore good things, even the dark green skirt on her body was made of high-quality brocade.

Only concubines who are favored in the palace can get such a piece, and it is rare for folks to find it.

Also, the red jade hairpin on her head, the jadeite hairpin on her bun, and even the accessories around her waist are all rare treasures, as if she wanted to hang all the good things on her body.

She is not young, so wearing gold and silver should be very vulgar.

But she has a very good appearance, even though she is over 40 years old, she still has charm. If you ignore the bitterness on her face, she looks like someone's rich lady.

"Ma'am, don't say a few words." Shang Guoping timidly tugged at Xie's sleeve, but she staggered him.

He was afraid of his wife and also his father.

Seeing her rushing in straight, her tone was very tough, for fear of offending Mr. Shang and being angered, she wanted to calm down and calm down.

Mr. Shang was already upset, seeing his son's submissive look, he almost vomited blood.

As a father-in-law, it is not easy for him to preach to his daughter-in-law, so he had to aim the artillery at his son.

"Presumptuous! I really don't have any rules at all. Where is my Shang family!" He looked at Shang Guoping with raised eyebrows, but the words were for Mrs. Xie.

"Anyone can enter the study room. Shang Guoping, this old man warns you for the last time. If you can't manage your backyard well, you will get out of Shang's house!"

Xie wouldn't look at her anymore, and knew that the fire was aimed at her.

She was a little apprehensive at first.

In the end, I thought again, my mother-in-law passed away early, and now the entire Shang family, except for this old thing's yard, is in her hands, and the fear disappeared immediately.

Stiffing his neck, he said, "Father, why are you so angry at the master? Could it be that what the daughter-in-law said is wrong?"

She snorted coldly: "Boss and her mother had a short life, she left after giving birth to him, if I hadn't married here and worked so hard to raise him, he would have grown up so strong, and married the jewel in the palm of the imperial merchant?"

Da Shang was gasping for breath.

She had the nerve to say so!

What is the jewel in the palm of the imperial merchant? Although his granddaughter-in-law is a good one, she is indeed an imperial merchant at home, but she is just a concubine who is not favored, and her mother is the flower girl in the building!

This kind of status, if it wasn't for Xie's calculations, how can he be married to the eldest grandson of a dignified second-rank official.

Fortunately, although his granddaughter-in-law had undergone a lot of training before she got married, her temperament was not spoiled, and she was not the kind of person who cared too much about family status.

only……

Master Shang's eyes were slightly cold: "You know how the Huaizhou family is doing. Although the old man is old, his heart is not blind."

"You must know better than me why he fell off his horse by mistake before the scientific examination back then, resulting in a limped leg and missed his official career."

"What's father-in-law's intention? How could his daughter-in-law know?" Mrs. Xie didn't panic at all. It's been more than ten years since the incident happened, and nothing was found at that time, and it's even more impossible now.

"I don't care whether you know it or not, old man, I know about this matter." Master Shang didn't want to argue with her, and turned to look at Shang Guoping.

"Go back, it's the old man's business who you take to Prince Sheng's mansion, and you can't control the old man." Lord Shang's voice was not loud, but his tone was firm.

He and Yinyin went to Prince Sheng's mansion for medical treatment, what to do with those two worried people.

Unconvinced, Mrs. Xie wanted to say a few more words, but Shang Guoping dragged her out by the arm.

Although Shang Guoping is cowardly, he is not stupid. He knows that his father is a one-sided man. If he continues to talk about it, not only will he not change his mind, but it may even cause him to be scolded.

The two troublemakers left, Master Shang sighed, thinking that the matter was over like this.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, as soon as their grandfather and grandson arrived at the gate of Prince Sheng's Mansion, Mrs. Xie brought her two grandchildren to follow.

……

It didn't take long for the Queen and Concubine Cui to have a happy event, and it didn't take long for it to spread.

Li Milong was overjoyed, and the rewards were sent to the two people's palace like flowing water.

Families from various prefectures entered the palace one after another to congratulate, and the palace was very lively for a while.

However, some people are happy and others are sad, and the ones who are happy are naturally the Queen and Concubine Cui.

What is worrying is Gu Nanyan.

After the news of the two people's happiness spread outside the palace, for some reason, rumors spread that Gu Nanyan was giving away her son.

It is also said that the queen and concubine Cui were pregnant because of her blessing.

If it wasn't such a coincidence, the happy pulse was diagnosed on the second day after attending her wedding banquet.

The vividness of the rumors is even more exciting than a small picture book. The time, place, people, and the course of the incident are explained clearly and clearly.

The capital immediately exploded, and everyone who had a little friendship with the Gu family or Li Yi handed over invitations one after another.

Women without children want to ask Gu Nanyan to give them a child, and those who are pregnant want to ask her to bless them, hoping to have a son.

But even if they handed over the greeting card, Gu Nanyan was not something they could see whenever they wanted, let alone those ordinary people.

So after posting the door god, the Empress Songzi made out of the image of Gu Nanyan became popular in the capital again.

Enter each house, put it on the bedside and offer it up.

Some even dared to burn incense and kneel at the gate of Prince Cheng's mansion.

Gu Nanyan:? ? ?

I'm riding a horse... Can I let Lao Tzu be a person!
Gu Nanyan's whole body was wilted, especially the day after returning home after three days.

Faced with a large number of fanatical believers, she and Li Yi were blocked outside the gate of the palace to pray for a child. After she almost couldn't go back, she just hid in the mansion and seldom even went out of the courtyard.

Originally, she was a lazy person, she would never sit still if she could lie flat, and it would not be a hindrance if she didn't go out, just wait for the heat of the mother-in-law to pass with peace of mind.

So it was a pleasant day.

It's just that for Li Yi's sake, he climbed over the wall like a thief.

Li Yi was also very helpless, even though he was a prince, he couldn't do anything in the face of the siege of the people who were powerless.
