Chapter 171
Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Zhao took the initiative to help with advice: "Don't you still have jewelry?"

Such a thick and heavy gold bracelet is still wrapped in silk, so a widow would be ashamed to wear it?

Take it to the Silver House and you can exchange it for more than 100 taels of silver.

There are also hairpins on the head and pendants on the ears.

Mrs. Zhao's eyes scanned Gu Qingcheng's body again and again, and she had already estimated the price of her jewelry.

Not less than three hundred li silver.

Moreover, Mrs. Zhao is sure that the Gu family should not only own these jewelry.

No matter how bad it is, you can still borrow money.

Duke Xie Yuang's mother-in-law, a popular borrower, was also willing to lend money.

By the way, you can also pretend to be sick, saying that you want to buy expensive ginseng.

As long as you discuss it with the doctor in advance, you can get the money.

There are also a few little girls around Gu. Tsk tsk, if they are sold, they will all be money.

...Mrs. Zhao has used all these methods.

When her son was taking the exam to become a scholar, she sold her eldest daughter.

When her son couldn't pay for the academy, she "married" her second daughter.

If she hadn't married Qian later, the youngest daughter probably wouldn't have been able to keep her.

And pretending to be sick is one of the methods Granny Zhao uses to coax Qian's dowry, simple and rude is also the most effective!

Gu Qingcheng: ...I really underestimated Mrs. Zhao. This person is not only the best, but also vicious!

"I don't dare! My elder brother will be unhappy!"

Gu Qingcheng deliberately made a weak and timid appearance, and that cowardly appearance made Mrs. Zhao feel furious.

"You are the elder, the widowed mother who raised him, how could you-"

A mother who is actually afraid of her son?
"No! I have never raised a family!"

Gu Qingcheng said "honestly", "In the past, it was the husband who made money. After the husband left, he also left the house, fields and money."

"My Dalang can also make money. He can make more than 100 taels of silver by writing a prescription for anyone."

Gu Qingcheng just wanted to tell Mrs. Zhao directly that I was a waste.

Mrs. Zhao: ...There are still such, such good-luck women in the world.

Why?
They are all women, and they feel like they have been soaked in coptis water, feeling bitter from the inside out.

As for Mrs. Gu, she can rely on her husband and son without even raising a family!
Mrs. Zhao's already distorted heart became more and more envious and jealous.

She wanted to deceive this lucky stupid woman even more.

However, Gu Qingcheng can only say a word, "I will listen to my son."

Now that Zhao Qingyun is an adult, he is still a juvenile juren. It is only natural for a mother to rely on him.

Gu Qingcheng no longer had the worries of his early years and directly wrote the words "listen to his son" on his face.

Mrs. Zhao: ...I have never seen such mud that cannot support the wall.

"Forget it, I wanted to help you, but I didn't expect—" You are so useless.

"Also, please don't tell anyone about the exam questions. Even your son, you can't talk about it."

"Otherwise, if something happens and you offend the nobleman, your son will also be implicated!"

Mrs. Zhao is greedy for money, but she has not lost her mind.

If he was sure he couldn't deceive Gu Qingcheng, he could only advise him in every possible way.

"Oh!"

Gu Qingcheng responded, and after returning, he told Zhao Qingyun the matter obediently.

Zhao Qingyun nodded, "I see! I will tell my husband."

Mr. Tang has returned to Beijing.

Zhao Qingyun went to visit.

Mr. Tang was very happy to see Zhao Qingyun, a young disciple, and called several other disciples in the capital.

After the brothers and sisters met, all the senior brothers tested the junior on the spot, and found that the junior was indeed a good seedling with amazing talents.

Coincidentally, the eldest brother is the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. It is very likely that he will be the examiner in the spring of next year.

If this matter is really a fraud in the scientific examination, senior brother will bear the brunt of it.

If it's just the princess's retainer, and deliberately uses it to cheat money, it must be dealt with safely.

Zhao Qingyun did not hesitate and went directly to his senior brother's home.

A month later, a retainer died in Princess Changping's mansion.

Zhao Zhi seemed to be frightened and fell ill directly.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Zhi's family was also gloomy.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't care less about calculating others, she was anxious to take care of her son every day, and beat and scolded Mrs. Qian at the same time.

Qian's life became increasingly difficult.

Several times, she wanted to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, sprinkle it into the pot, and die together.

However, when she saw her young children, she was reluctant to part with them.

...Forget it, let's just endure it like this.

If my husband wins the Jinshi, life may be better!

……

"Mom, I am very optimistic about a person. He came to Beijing to take the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination at the age of 15. Duke An of Jin made an exception for him and accepted him as a closed disciple."

"This person's family tradition is also very good, and he received an inscription from the local magistrate: He is a good person!"

"My mother is kind, and the family members are on blind date, but the family background is a little shallow."

"However, Nanping's status is precious, and he doesn't need any high-ranking people to accompany him."

The key is that Princess Nanping's health is too bad.

People of similar family status to her in the capital were afraid to avoid her.

At present, most of the little noble girls start seeing each other when they are twelve or thirteen years old.

You can get married after reaching the age of Ji.

As for Princess Nanping, she is 16 years old this year, but she hasn't even settled on a marriage.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that Princess Nanping is in poor health and cannot get a suitable marriage.

People who don't know the inside story may still wonder whether the royal family does not pay attention to Nanping and treats the remaining blood of the Huo family badly, so it delays the engagement for her.

Fortunately, the Huo family's military power has long been divided by several lieutenants.

The Huo family doesn't have much to covet.

Otherwise, the rumors will become even worse.

The saint said that I was really wronged.

There is a little girl in Nanping, I even made an exception and canonized the princess, and even gave her all the property of Princess Yongjia.

If possible, the saint would also like to find a good family in Nanping as soon as possible.

She got married and gave birth to children. The karma between the royal family and the Huo family can be regarded as a perfect ending.

However, everything is good in Nanping, except that my body is too weak.

And why she was congenitally deficient, ahem, it was also caused by her own cousin.

Queen Mother Han: ...The Ai family is also aggrieved.

"Child from a poor family, his family background is too shallow."

Empress Dowager Han has already learned the painful lesson of marrying the wrong adopted daughter, and she doesn't want to treat her granddaughter badly.

Moreover, Princess Nanping is different from Princess Yongjia. Nanping is the granddaughter of the Han family and has a blood relationship with Queen Mother Han!
"Even if you win the top prize, it's just mediocre."

It is always said in dramas that princesses will marry the number one scholar, but how many princesses actually marry the number one scholar?

It's just the imagination of those down-and-out literati among the people.

Queen Mother Han still couldn't help shaking her head.

"This man actually has some connections with Nanping."

"Mother, do you still remember that Nanping stayed in Heyin County for three years?"

After the saint got Zhao Qingyun's information, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was suitable for Princess Nanping.

A handsome young man with outstanding appearance and a simple family background.

Nan Ping has a weak temperament and is not in good health. He may-- at any time.

If you are like Princess Yongjia, you may not live well even if you marry into the family of your "in-laws".

It would be better to marry into a poor family and be supported and coaxed by her husband's family as an ancestor.

If something happens in Nanping in the future, the sage will be able to question her husband's family without any pressure, and give the world, as well as the Huo family's in-laws and ex-partners an "account"!
Cough cough, the last one is definitely a painful lesson that the saint suffered in the Han family.

Alas, the sage could not punish Han Chong just because he was his first cousin.

Princess Yongjia's death was aggrieved, and the royal family was at odds with each other, so many rumors arose in the workshops and in the army.

Saints do not want to repeat the same mistakes.

It's better to be a child from a poor family. The whole family will be buried with Nanping Princess, and the saint will not hesitate at all.

It's not that a saint always thinks that Nanping will die, but he is really a person who vomits blood at every turn. If you say she will live a long life, who will believe it!
"At that time, Nanping lived next door to the Zhao family."

"I heard that the relationship between the two families is pretty good."

"After Nanping returned to Beijing, members of the Huo family went to Heyin County..."

Speaking of this paragraph, the saint's eyes looked a little dark and inexplicable.

Huo Yun has been dead for more than 30 years, and the Huo family army has long since fallen apart.

However, the Huo family still has some old departments.

Huo Yun is worthy of being the adopted son of Tai and Zu, and he also likes to have sons.

The current general of the Northwest Army is one of Huo Yun's godsons.

Although he is loyal to the court, who can guarantee what kind of situation this man is in when the general is away?
There are also some retired veterans of the Northwest Army, who all need to be "appeased".

"Do the people in the Huo family also think highly of that move?"

Empress Dowager Han hesitated.

Although Nanping's surname is Han, those who care about her the most are some of Huo Yun's old subordinates...
