Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 170 The hero's best mother-in-law (57)

"Ms. Gu, I came a month or two earlier than you, and I know more about the capital."

"There is also my son, who is young and popular, and has indeed made friends with several noble people."

Granny Zhao put on a "senior" attitude towards Gu Qingcheng, as if she had a huge advantage if she came a month or two earlier.

Gu Qingcheng didn't care, she blinked her big innocent eyes and listened with interest.

And according to the content of Mrs. Zhao's words, make the most perfect response.

She is simply the best listener, which greatly satisfies Granny Zhao's vanity and makes her show off even more.

Gu Qingcheng's reaction also made Mrs. Zhao more affirmed her initial guess: this Gu family is just a fool.

"Miss Gu, let me tell you, in the capital, being talented may not be useful."

"Where is the capital? At the feet of the emperor, the most virtuous place, all the talented people in the world flock to the capital."

"There are more than one or two child prodigies who have become reciters at the age of three and poems at the age of five -"

So, what happened to 15-year-old Juren?
Compared with those famous child prodigies, they are nothing at all!
Mrs. Zhao's heart was sour, but she desperately belittled her.

Gu Qingcheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes!"

Child prodigies in ancient times were indeed uncommon.

For example, she herself has a photographic memory and can write with both hands.

And the big boy in this life is also a rare genius boy.

Gu Qingcheng directly put the "child prodigy" that Mrs. Zhao boasted into herself and Zhao Qingyun, so she didn't feel offended.

Hehe, I was praised!
"There are so many child prodigies, but how many of them are truly famous all over the world and admired by thousands of people?"

"It's not important to be talented, the important thing is to meet and have the support of noble people!"

Mrs. Zhao changed her subject and showed off her son again, "Just like my Sanlang, he successfully got to know Princess Changping's retainers."

"Miss Gu, do you know Princess Changping? That is the real golden branch and jade leaf, the beloved daughter of today's saint!"

Gu Qingcheng shook his head first, expressing that he was ignorant and had never heard of the name of Princess Changping.

Then his eyes widened, as if he was intimidated by the words "saint loves his daughter".

Oh my gosh, that's the emperor's daughter.

Regardless of whether she loves girls or not, just her status as a princess does make ordinary people in awe.

Gu Qingcheng's "praising" role was quite good, and Mrs. Zhao became even more energetic.

"A few days ago, Princess Changping held a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, and my Sanlang also went there."

"Oh my, that princess's mansion is so magnificent, just like a fairy palace in the sky."

Mrs. Zhao was so frothy that she drank the water in the teacup in one gulp, then subconsciously shouted, "Mr. Qian, why don't you come to pour tea?"

"Hmph, she's a merchant girl, she just has no rules!"

When Mrs. Zhao scolded her, her already rigid and serious face became even more vitriolic.

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman with low eyebrows and flattering eyes hurried over.

Gu Qingcheng secretly looked at it.

This should be Qian, the wife Zhao Zhi married for money.

Since they are husband and wife, they should be about the same age.

However, Qian looked even older, as if Zhao Zhi had made him several years older.

She flinched and looked sad, and she was even more trembling in front of Mrs. Zhao.

When pouring tea, Qian's hands were shaking.

The more afraid Qian is, the more likely he is to make mistakes.

With shaking hands, some tea spilled out.

Mrs. Zhao's eyebrows immediately stood up, and she opened her mouth to curse: "You are useless, you can't even pour a cup of tea, my son married you, it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes!"

Gu Qingcheng saw that Mrs. Zhao started to lose her temper and Qian's face was pale, so she couldn't see it.

She continued to pretend to be innocent, "Then what?"

Mrs. Zhao still wanted to continue scolding her daughter-in-law, but when she heard the phrase "and then", she was stunned.

what then?
It took her a long time to realize: Oh, yes, I was just showing off the grand banquet of Princess Changping's family to Mrs. Gu.

Originally, she wanted to show off her dignity as a mother-in-law in front of Mrs. Gu, and then show off her son's filial piety to her - she beat and scolded Mrs. Qian, but instead of making decisions for Mrs. Qian, her son blamed her for not being filial enough. !

This is the dignity and dignity that a widowed mother should have.

It's not like Mr. Gu, who is obviously an elder, but is locked up by his son every day.

Hmph, it really is a piece of trash!

But when Mrs. Gu interrupted, Mrs. Zhao's "emotion" was interrupted.

She really couldn't continue beating and scolding her daughter-in-law.

He waved his hand impatiently at Mr. Qian, "Why don't you go and cook? Sanlang works so hard every day. As a wife, you are really an unworthy woman if you don't stew some nourishing chicken soup for your husband."

Qian opened her mouth, and unconsciously rubbed her hands on her clothes.

She wanted to say that she needed to buy chickens to make chicken soup, but her mother-in-law didn't have the money to buy vegetables for her yet.

Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to see it, and she scolded louder: "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly!"

I just deliberately refused to give you any money. Huh, you little whore. Just when I didn’t know, you still hid some dowry and didn’t hand it over?

Mrs. Qian was anxious and frightened, but finally gave in to her mother-in-law's power and quietly retreated.

There are only a few silver bracelets left on her body, if she is forced to take them out again, she will really have nothing left.

However, if you don't take it, you won't be able to make chicken soup, and you will probably be beaten and scolded by your mother-in-law tonight.

Even the two children will be punished with her!
Qian had tears in her eyes. She didn't know how she had fallen to this point.

Looking at Qian's slightly shaky back, Mrs. Zhao looked proud.

She also used this as an example to teach Gu Qingcheng her experience, "Miss Gu, let me tell you, you can't be polite to your daughter-in-law."

"Otherwise, she would dare to sit on the heads of us mothers-in-law and poop and pee."

The daughter-in-law of many years has become a mother-in-law.

Mrs. Zhao has suffered so much at the hands of her mother-in-law, and she will take it back from her daughter-in-law twice as much!
Gu Qingcheng: ...No wonder Madam Liu doesn't want to see this person. This person is really hard to describe.

It is really not easy for a widow to bring up several children and confess a Juren.

However, her daughter-in-law is not responsible for her problems.

Qian's is not a child bride. When she came in, she brought a generous dowry.

The Zhao family spent all of their money on food and lodging, but they still didn't regard Qian as a family.

Oh no, it's just not treating people as human beings.

Such a mother-in-law and such a husband are really shameless.

Zhao Zhi, that's probably it.

Poor character has never been a big problem. What is really fatal is being too "stupid".

Being ungrateful and abusing his first wife, even if he becomes a Jinshi, he will not be able to go far in the officialdom.

"Ms. Gu, I treat you as one of my own, that's why I say these heartbreaking words to you."

"As mother-in-laws, if we don't suppress these little sluts hard, they will dare to turn the world upside down."

"By the way, it's like the granddaughter of Zheng Ge's hometown, tsk tsk, they are all married people, and they drag their families to live in their mother's house."

"A woman with a big belly actually shows her face."

"The same goes for Princess Changping. Why do you think so differently of such a womanly person? I heard they even opened a shop together!"

Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, oh, he was eating something from an acquaintance.

As the heroine, has Zheng Wanjun finally begun to "flex her muscles"?

Huoshui desperately nodded in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness: ... That's right, that's right, even though the man was changed, the heroine still started the life of a farming heroine.

Making friends with powerful people, making glass, and growing off-season vegetables not only made money, but also managed a lot of contacts.

"Forget it! Let's not talk about her!"

Mrs. Zhao spoke disdainfully, but her eyes were full of envy.

Her family's Saburo is also a young man, why can't he marry a well-known lady as his wife like that Ji Silang?

If the "in-laws" were powerful, her family's Saburo wouldn't have to work so hard to curry favor with a princess's retainer.

"I called you here today, and I have something good to tell you!"

Mrs. Zhao talked a lot of miscellaneous things, and finally got to the point.

Gu Qingcheng showed a curious expression at the right time, "Good thing? What good thing?"

Granny Zhao smiled mysteriously, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Didn't my Dalang meet Princess Changping's retainer? The gentleman said that he can get 'that'!"

Mrs. Zhao deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of "that".

"what is that?"

Gu Qingcheng had a guess in his heart.

It is estimated that it will be an exam question in the spring of next year.

"Oh, it's, it's—"

Granny Zhao blinked desperately.

She wanted to tell Gu Qingcheng directly, but she remembered her son's advice.

The matter of buying test questions is of great importance and cannot be disclosed easily.

But Mrs. Zhao feels sorry for the three hundred miles of silver.

She decided that Mrs. Gu next door was a fool, as if to cheat some money from Mrs. Gu first.

She just deliberately showed off that her son knew the rich and powerful, and she also mentioned that being talented may not make things happen, she was just laying the groundwork.

"Ms. Gu, let me ask you, why did you come to the capital this time?"

Gu Qingcheng said stupidly, "Of course I will accompany my son to take the Jinshi exam."

"But what does taking the imperial examination have to do with 'that'?"

Mrs. Zhao: ...You are just a fool!
I've hinted so clearly, you fucking can't guess it yet.

Since Mrs. Gu is a fool, telling her directly doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Anyway, after today, Mrs. Zhao will not admit what she said.

"It's just a test question!"

"You can buy it for only 800 taels."

Although Mrs. Zhao is a peasant woman, she knows the truth of "extraordinary asking price and paying back the money on the spot".

She deliberately said it very high to leave room for Gu Qingcheng to bargain.

Gu Qingcheng: ... Heh, it's only October, and the main exam for Chunwei next year hasn't been decided yet, so you can buy the exam questions?
What a fool!
"Why are you buying test questions? My uncle is a genius!"

Gu Qingcheng looked proud.

"Oh, what I just said was all in vain?"

"Miss Gu, there are too many talented people in the capital, but there are only so many Jinshi in each subject, and some people always fail."

"...But I, I have no money!"

"..."
