Chapter 789 Mother is Important

My oldest sister Baoya is very smart. It can be said that her two siblings all have high IQs and EQs, which is just as my wife said that mothers are very important.

Just like his father, fortunately his IQ was inherited from his mother. If he had inherited his brains from his father, he would have been a complete failure. Gu Yangwen is the best example, a typical second old man.

The two siblings did not dare to follow their father or mother because they were all smart. Besides, their mother was not an ordinary mother. She had already guided her children in a subtle way.

Just like he just joked with his eldest nephew about who is family, his mother pointed this out when he and his siblings were very young.

He and his two siblings are closer than Wulang and his siblings who are fortunate enough to have already seen clearly that they are brothers and sisters born from the same mother. It is definitely not the case that they are all one family as his father said.

His father was fooled by the old lady. If the old lady had fooled him less, with his father's ability, even if he could not pass the imperial examination, he would not be trapped in Qinghe Village.

His mother had a good eye for people. No matter how poor his father was, she was able to provide her with food and clothing. However, there were too many people who held his father back.

Fortunately, there was a silver lining in misfortune. Fortunately, his father was a kind father and took great pains to arrange a good marriage for his son and provide him with some support.

If he listens to the old lady's advice even regarding his son's marriage, then he's really doomed. Look at the daughters-in-law in the eldest house. They are not even worthy of carrying shoes for his eldest sister-in-law.

Since his elder brother had said so much, Gu Wenxuan had no intention of continuing to draw in detail according to his memory the approximate locations of the shops and farms in the county that were confiscated by County Magistrate Huang.

Not long after he finished writing, he handed the freshly-made list of confiscated assets of the Huang Mansion to Gu Erlang, and he quickly finished drawing with just a few strokes and circled them.

"So many?" After reading the list, Gu Erlang was shocked. He calmed down and asked with a frown.

"There are some in his native place, but I didn't write them down."

"He's just a county lieutenant." Gu Erlang said with emotion, "He has been here for less than ten years, and he got the title of county lieutenant by borrowing money."

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing and patted his shoulder, "Then you think of him as a juren, 'a poor scholar, a rich juren.' This means that he was not originally poor.

He was no longer poor, but he still went to borrow money from others. You can estimate how much money he spent to get this vacancy. It must have cost him at least ten thousand taels of silver.

That is why I dare to say that as long as County Magistrate Huang’s classmate and good friend protects him and he does not miscount the grain stored in the Taiping Warehouse, he will not be sentenced too heavily.

As for lending money at high interest, the law would punish him by execution, but how could a scholar like him be so brainless? There were so many scapegoats, and if he didn't investigate seriously, he was not the main culprit.

Whether it was the sentencing of his entire family to exile or the final concession made by his classmate after all parties weighed the interests, many things are not as simple as they seem.

If we are merciless and deal with it according to the law, the former county magistrate will be held accountable. He is the chief official of the county and he still wants to be promoted and transferred. What a good thing!
He was removed from his position even after being promoted, so it is not surprising that this man was suppressed by County Magistrate Huang for many years. Brains are good things, but he has no brains and was still taken advantage of.

Of course, it's not that my senior brother used him to take down County Magistrate Huang in order to secure his position as a county official. It's just like what you said, he was fattened up and was about to be slaughtered. "

Gu Erlang sighed, "You'd better not tell me this. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Is he too arrogant? Did the Zhao family also get involved to bring him down?"

"Lord Zhao doesn't have that ability yet!" Thinking of the series of information he had collected about Boss Zhao so far, Gu Wenxuan shook his head.

No one else can be so successful even after being given a chance to rise to the top. Instead of being the Vice Minister of Works, it would be better for him to go back to the Hanlin Academy and become an old Hanlin.

"Don't tell anyone else what I said. The reason why County Magistrate Huang fell from power was because of the supporters behind our county's big grain merchant."

"Master Tian?"

"Yes!" Even at this point, Gu Wenxuan had no intention of hiding who County Magistrate Huang had offended, "And the family of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tian family also helped." "Is it San Ya that she found?"

"Wait!" Gu Wenxuan raised his hand hastily, lest his elder brother continue to make shocking remarks, "But this has nothing to do with my wife."

"Didn't she go to your wife to complain?"

This big brother! "You don't want to be good brothers anymore, right?" Gu Wenxuan rolled his eyes at him angrily, "I'm stupid, and my wife is stupid too?"

Gu Erlang clapped his legs and laughed, "You also know that you are stupid?"

Gu Wenxuan punched him. "Although the Tian family's eldest daughter-in-law's family is also a merchant family, she has an aunt and cousin who is the niece of Gao's third wife."

No wonder!
"Her intention in coming to see my wife was to see if she could get closer to her, and also to test whether my wife would intervene.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, County Magistrate Huang and Manager Wang have a good relationship, and County Magistrate Huang has some personal connections with our family. She is worried that my wife will not stand on her side.

My wife heard it, and she didn't need me to tell her that she would never send someone to ask the Third Lady of the Gao Mansion to mind her own business on behalf of the Huang County Magistrate's family. She just pretended not to understand. "

Pretending to be deaf and dumb is something San Ya can do!
"It just so happens that the former county magistrate was promoted and transferred to another position. What a great opportunity! Before the two county magistrates even handed over their official seals, County Magistrate Huang was already destined to be questioned."

clear!

Gu Erlang nodded, "What about the Zhao family?"

Hi, back to the Zhao family!
Gu Wenxuan laughed and shook his head.

"What are you laughing at? Tell me!"

"No one would come to the Zhao family to get involved in the matter of County Magistrate Huang. Even if the Zhao family did not collude with County Magistrate Huang to get money, no one would come to the Zhao family.

Even though they knew that the Zhao family was managed by Uncle Zhao Er, who was not very ambitious, it was very likely that the Zhao family and County Magistrate Huang would be in conflict. In the eyes of some people, the Zhao family was not up to the standard. "

Gu Erlang was stunned.

"Yes, it's what you think."

"What do you think I'm thinking?" Gu Erlang denied it, but he had to admit that he had overestimated the power of the Zhao family. "Master Zhao, he is the Qilinzi of our county."

"You said it was our county. Well, to put it bluntly, the Zhao family looks rich and powerful, but in fact it lacks foundation, and there is no successor, so it is looked down upon by others.

The Wu Mansion is the best example. Having no successor is a big taboo. If only Mr. Wu's son had become a scholar, those people would not have been so greedy.

That's why I say that Mr. Zhao San is not very smart. He is still obsessed with money. He has wealth but no power. What's the difference between him and a fat pig?

Rather than expecting his eldest brother Yue's family to protect his Zhao family, he would rather spend a lot of money to support the children of the Zhao family to take the imperial examinations since his sons and nephews had no hope of taking the imperial examinations.

As long as he could produce a Jinshi, even if the four Zhao brothers could not produce a Juren by the time of their great-grandsons, it would be great. At least his descendants and grandchildren could live a stable life.

Investing in his elder brother Yue's family is not as good as training the children of the clan. Even if the clan members have lost their conscience, even for their future, the scholars he has spent money to support dare not bear the reputation of being ungrateful. "
