Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 125
"Cousin, the business you're talking about is usury!"

Gu Qingcheng showed a hesitant expression.

When she mentioned the word "sharp money", she was even more disgusted with indifference.

From ancient times to the present, loan sharking has not been a good business and has a bad reputation.

Gu Qingcheng has not forgotten her own personality: although she is excellent and always causes trouble for her son, she is really doing it for her son's good.

This is probably where Zhao Qingyun is most helpless——

His mother is not bad, nor does she not love him, she is just stupid!
He can always do even more powerless stupid things when he already feels very powerless.

"This, this is not good! My Qingyun is a scholar, so I can't get a bad reputation!"

Gu Qingcheng explained awkwardly, her attitude was a bit humble.

It's not that she doesn't want to cooperate with the cousin of the Qian family, nor is it that she doesn't know the good and the bad, but she doesn't want to be involved in such a bad business.

"What's wrong with loan sharking? The imperial court allows it!"

Qian had already expected that Gu would hesitate and prepared her words in advance.

She pretended to be confidant and whispered, "I know you are doing it for Dalang's good! I am his aunt, and I don't want to ruin Dalang's reputation."

"That's why I asked you to give me the money, and I will cooperate with my concubine."

"It's also in my name on the deed, just wait for the interest to be collected."

Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, oh well, this Qian family is not a brainless fraud.

Actually filled the loopholes in the "deed paper", the reason is still so "intimate".

"As for me, I will write you an 'IOU' to prove that I did take the money from you."

Qian's words were so bright and aboveboard, as if she really had no selfish intentions, and she was purely for her own relatives!

Gu Qingcheng hurriedly waved his hand, "No! No! We are relatives, how can we write an IOU?"

Seeing that she was so easy to deceive, Qian felt even more proud.

Qian pretended to be serious, "Cousin-in-law, I know you trust me! But, my brother will settle the score clearly."

"Relatives are relatives, rules are rules, we should do what we want!"

The more she behaves like this, the more "convinced" Gu Qingcheng becomes.

"Oh, how bad is this!"

Gu Qingcheng said something bad, but her face showed eagerness to try.

When Qian saw this, his smile became even brighter: Hey!It's done!

However, when Mrs. Qian was waiting to collect the cash, Gu Qingcheng suddenly said coyly: "Cousin, um, can I, can I go see that concubine?"

"Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't believe you! Rather, I want to find out what the county lord likes with my aunt in person!"

"Cousin, you just said that next year's college examination will be hosted by the county magistrate. Who can pass and who can't pass will be decided by the county magistrate, so I was thinking..."

When Gu Qingcheng got to the end of his words, he stopped embarrassed.

However, her expression was too straightforward, and almost all her thoughts were written on her face.

A "human spirit" who is good at deceiving people like Qian, naturally saw through Gu Qingcheng at a glance.

Curse secretly: If you lie to you, you actually take it seriously!Forget it!

Cursing in her heart, Qian showed an expression of "understanding", "Biao sister-in-law, I understand what you're thinking! Oh, my concubine is also a noble person, how can I see you whenever you want?"

When she said this, she deliberately fanned the wind with her hands.

Her palm looked like a fan, but it was actually moving up and down, as if she was weighing something.

Gu Qingcheng stared blankly. For a long time, Qian couldn't help but "prompt" directly before she seemed to react.

"Then what, I know it's embarrassing for my cousin, how about this, when the matter is over, I, I will give my cousin a big red envelope!"

Isn't it just painting big cakes? Gu Qingcheng, who was involved in government affairs in her previous life, shouldn't be too proficient!

"Oh, cousin, look at what you said, what a big red envelope, we are relatives!"

Qian's eyes were narrowed into smiles as he spoke polite words.

This one in front of him is a well-known liar in Zhaojiazhuang.

Huoshui: ...cough cough, it is what later generations say that people are stupid and have a lot of money!

"No! The more relatives I have, the less I can let you suffer!"

Gu Qingcheng had a "serious" look on his face, which in Qian's eyes was absolutely "cute".

"Okay! I'll go find my sister-in-law and ask her to see if she's free any day, and then I'll take you to say hello to her."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother my cousin. I'll take the silver when I go to see my concubine, okay?"

Gu Qingcheng deliberately looked "calculating".

Qian became even more amused when he saw it: Tsk, such an idiot actually knows how to play tricks.

However, Qian prides himself on being shrewd.

The more stupid the other party is, the more "frank" she has to be.

"...I'll write an IOU to my cousin first. We are our own family, so we don't need to use the 'pay with one hand and deliver with the other'."

Sure enough, the more magnanimous Qian showed, the more ashamed and convinced Gu Qingcheng became.

It's just that when people are "rarely" smart, they are more persistent.

Received the IOU, but didn't give the money, so I waited for Qian's help to invite my aunt.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng's persistence, Qian knew that her son was the most important thing to her.

For the sake of her son's future, Mrs. Gu would believe any nonsense.

Well, that would be easier to do.

Qian left Zhaojiazhuang and went straight to the county instead of going home.

I came to the back corner gate of the county government office and begged my mother-in-law to call my sister-in-law.

The aunt and sister-in-law hid in the corner and chatted a lot. After Qian finished speaking, he gave the sister-in-law a basket.

There are several dishes on the basket, and under the dishes are silver pancakes and silver ingots.

This is the money she defrauded from other criminals.

"Sister-in-law, you still do things smoothly! I will have a talk with my aunt later!"

"Don't worry when you are working for my aunt. Not only the dividends, but also my nephew's future will definitely be good too!"

The sister-in-law took the heavy basket with a satisfied smile on her plain face.

"The child's aunt, Gu's matter——"

"Let me think about it. Tomorrow afternoon, my concubine is going to the silver building to buy jewelry. How about this? You bring Gu to the silver building, and my concubine takes the time to say a few words to her!"

The sister-in-law should be the person my aunt needs to be around. She made the arrangements for her without asking for instructions.

"Okay! Okay! Then I'll bring Gu over here tomorrow afternoon!"

Qian Shi nodded repeatedly.

The sister-in-law looked at her sister-in-law's eager look, and originally wanted to remind her, but she gave up after thinking about it.

A person who can be deceived by his sister-in-law is not a smart person after all.

Then Mrs. Gu is an ignorant country widow, so she probably won't give birth to moths.

If you have to remind yourself of big and small things, you will lose respect.

My sister-in-law claims to be smart, so she probably won't listen to what she says.

In that case, why should she bother?

……

"Cousin, let me tell you, I have wasted a lot of effort in getting my concubine to take time to see you this time."

"Who is my concubine? Although she is a concubine, she is the most beloved woman of the county magistrate."

"She also gave birth to a son and a daughter to the county magistrate. Even the county magistrate's wife thinks highly of her."

On the way to the silver building, Qian kept talking, mainly to show his merits and show how powerful he is.

Gu Qingcheng perfectly played a naive and easy-to-deceive takeover, perfectly matching Qian's showing off.

Under Gu Qingcheng's eyes of envy and admiration, Qian gradually lost herself.

She was always shrewd, but she didn't realize that the Gu Shi looked a little different today.

She was still dressed in plain white filial piety, but it was a little less pitiful and a little more "cute".

There is still no makeup on the face, but it is a little less haggard and a little more soft.

Gu Qingcheng: ...the dress remains the same, just a change of look and movement can make the dignified Shuxian more charming!
When he came to the Silver Building, Mrs. Qian went in first, and at the top of the stairs on the first floor, she saw her sister-in-law who was serving her.

When sister-in-law saw her, Qian quickly nodded and said in a low voice, "Are you here?"

The sister-in-law nodded and pointed to the second floor.

Then, my sister-in-law said softly, "Wait a moment, I'll go up and report back to my aunt!"

Qian hurriedly responded obediently.

Deng deng pedal!
The sister-in-law quickly went up to the second floor.

After a while, she stomped down again.

"Let's go! My aunt is in a good mood right now, so just say a few words to Mrs. Gu!"

"Sister-in-law, just a few words. You have agreed with Mrs. Gu to pay attention to your identity and don't talk nonsense!"

The sister-in-law stood in the front, acting like a powerful servant of an official family.

Qian Shi nodded repeatedly, and waved at Gu Qingcheng, signaling her to follow quickly.

Gu Qingcheng lowered her head and hunched her back, pretending to be cowardly and ignorant.

The sister-in-law took a quick look and saw that the Gu family was full of arrogance and was as unworthy as she had guessed, so she didn't take the Gu family seriously.

She led the way, Qian followed closely behind, and Gu Qingcheng flinched at the end.

The group went up to the second floor, where a beautiful young woman sat on a chair by the window.

She wore a skirt with exquisite embroidery and dazzling rubies and red gold jewelry on her temples.

He seems to be very particular about his gestures.

But Gu Qingcheng, who was born as a daughter of a real family, saw her pretentiousness and imitation at a glance!
From just one meeting, Gu Qingcheng could get a rough idea of ​​his concubine's temperament.

Well, it was pretty much what she had guessed before.

She was from a low background and had low self-esteem in her bones. She was favored by her beauty, but she was also wary of it.

What would my aunt be afraid of?
Of course, someone new will copy her "road to success" and squeeze her out.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingcheng slowly raised his head, revealing his flourishing beauty.

There are no gorgeous clothes or dazzling jewelry, just a face is enough to be radiant and touching.

After the aunt saw Gu Qingcheng's face clearly, she was shocked at first, and then deeply disturbed.

No, you can't let the master see this woman.

At the beginning, the concubine stood out from the crowd of maids by virtue of her good looks, and became a concubine that even the wife of the main house was afraid of.

And her beauty is simply not worth mentioning in front of this pretty widow.

Such a beautiful woman, once she developed ambition, would definitely confuse a man.

By then, will she still have a place in the county magistrate's office?
