Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 2

Gao Zhao lay on the window, with his ears close to each other. In winter, the window was double-layered, and his mother was afraid of the wind coming in, so she blocked the inside with cotton strips on all sides. The sound insulation was good, but it was inconvenient to eavesdrop. Fortunately, my uncle and grandma had a loud voice. Still audible.

"Nephew, today I'm here to talk about the marriage between my natal nephew, Sun Yangfeng, and Zhao'er. At the beginning, my niece made an agreement with me. Well, she even gave me a jade pendant as a token. This is a good marriage. I Sun Yangfeng, the nephew of her natal family, has passed the county examination. She will be a scholar in the future, but now her aunt keeps her promise. Otherwise, why would she bring this matter up to her niece and daughter-in-law? To be honest, you will give birth to a daughter, and the first child did not give birth to the Gao family. Erlang, my aunt has spoken for you a lot. You should have forgotten it for so many years. Auntie can remember. Now that Sister Zhao is growing up, my aunt will come to tell you something. You can start preparing dowry here, huh , Auntie also brought the dowry list, the dowry is satisfied with her mother-in-law's family, so Sister Zhao will be able to stand upright at her husband's house in the future, right?"

Gao Zhao lay on tiptoe and was shocked when he heard his aunt say this. He had never heard his mother say that she wanted a child mother?
Before I heard my mother speak, I heard a bang, and my aunt's voice came: "What did my aunt say? Marriage to your Lu family? Even if your Lu family has a number one scholar, Zhao'er is not afraid to marry! This Does my father know about it? Does my brother know? Why did my sister-in-law secretly make an appointment with you? Is my sister-in-law stupid for giving birth to Zhaoer? Give sister Zhao to your Lu family?"

"You think I'm talking nonsense? Let your niece see it. Is this her jade pendant? Besides, it's not up to you, a married woman, to talk nonsense about the Gao family. Let your niece talk about it? She was born How can someone who has read the book do things that don’t count?”

"I'm a daughter of the Gao family. Why can't I take care of my niece's affairs? You said that the jade pendant belonged to Juanniang? I couldn’t find it, so it’s at my aunt’s place? My niece hasn’t read a book, but she knows that to be a person and to do things is to know etiquette and integrity!”

There was the sound of slapping the table again, and the loud voice of the uncle and grandmother: "Gao Cui, you shameless bastard who was kicked out by your husband's house, you have no face to talk about shame! Who else is shameless to say that you are relying on your mother's house? No Just bullying Niang Juan's good nature, no mother-in-law decides, if it is my daughter, I will never allow you to embarrass yourself in your mother's house!"

Gao Zhao heard the aunt's cry, and the sound probably jumped down from the kang, "I am Gao Cui, I am relying on my brother's house, I am not relying on the Gao family's ancestral house! Who is shameless? My father is the first wife. The Gao family’s ancestral house where my aunt lives belongs to my room! Bullying my father and my brothers are honest, and now they still have the face to plot against my niece, who is shameless?”

"You don't have to jump, let Juanniang talk about it!"

It took me a long time to hear my mother say tremblingly: "Auntie, you are too deceitful! Why has your niece and daughter-in-law ever engaged you?"

Hearing his mother's words, Gao Zhao's heart sank. As long as his mother didn't do that, it must be the uncle talking nonsense. Somehow, he was following her?The Lu family's Lu Yangfeng is the Lu family's hope. At the beginning, the great-uncle proudly said that they would definitely have to be selected as a scholar, and at worst they would choose a daughter-in-law from Xuanqing Mansion, even Wucheng County would look down on her.

"It's impossible to think about getting married, niece and daughter-in-law, is this jade pendant yours? Auntie remembers that it was your mother's dowry to you. Wenlin was down and out at the time. You see my son's literary talent was selected as a scholar, so he took the initiative to marry her." I got married in the Lu family, and now that Wenlin has become the head of the family, do you want to get married? I want to let the neighbors judge! See if there is someone in your sister Zhao?"

Gao Zhao stood up straight and puffed up his cheeks angrily. This shameless old man had this idea in mind. Even a little lady cares about her reputation. Even if she knows that we have been wronged, she will not be able to kiss her.

Before Gao Zhao wanted to enter the house for emergency treatment, he heard the aunt's loud voice: "Auntie who is capable, go outside and talk about it. I don't know who believes you? You go and say it! Go outside and say it!"

The door was slammed open, Gao Zhao quickly hid behind, not to let the aunt see her and eavesdrop.

Mrs. Gao Lu hurried out, followed by Gao Cui holding a broom. Mrs. Gao Lu went out, but turned around and yelled, "Wait, the Lu family came here a few years ago to make a betrothal gift, that is, to go to the yamen to file a lawsuit. Sister Zhao is also my daughter-in-law of the Lu family!"

Gao Cui stood angrily at the door with her hips akimbo, looked around again, turned around and went back to the room and closed the door tightly.

Gao Zhao squatted under the window, saw the elder aunt enter the room and leaned on the window again, and heard the elder aunt ask her mother, "Juanniang, is that jade pendant really yours?"

Jiang cried out, "Sister, Zhao'er was born that year. I took it out and wanted to give it to Zhao'er, but it disappeared after a while. I searched everywhere, but I didn't dare to say anything. Later, when I wanted to lose it, I wanted to give it to Zhao'er." I lost it, who knows what to do with my aunt, if my aunt tells about it, what will Zhaoer do?"

Gao Cui thought that she returned home only after she had Zhao'er, how could the younger sister-in-law say that she lost the jade pendant at that time, it was obviously misleading.

"I think she took out the jade pendant, that's probably what happened, this old godly woman! She just grabbed this, and she was afraid that we would make a promise to make a marriage, but Juanniang, how could that sheep dung from the Lu family be settled? Zhao'er? The Lu family only sees the Xuanqing Mansion, how can they see our family? Juanniang, don't cry, there must be something here, I'll go and find out, don't tell Zhao'er, otherwise she should Don't worry, she doesn't care about that room."

Hearing this, Gao Zhao got up and slipped out, knowing that it would be easy to handle, isn't it just a jade pendant, if it is broken, it can't be seen that it is the mother's dowry, it's just that, without a certificate, the uncle and grandma are cheating , what a simple matter.

I wanted to hide from my aunt just now, because I was afraid that my mother would have to educate her when she found out about the behavior of a woman, otherwise she would follow her aunt when her uncle left, and let the jade pendant be broken into scum, and then let her fall on its back and knock Don't kill her!

Gao Zhao wanted to find his two younger brothers, but they also came out stooping, dizzy, and must have been hiding somewhere to eavesdrop.

The two of them were still holding the elder sister, and the elder brother winked and said: "Elder sister, go to my room and tell a story."

The three of them went hand in hand to the house where the two brothers lived, entered the house, took off their shoes and got on the kang.

"Tell me, what do you know?" Gao Zhao knew what he must know as soon as he saw his younger brother's appearance.

"Sister, a few days ago I heard that the sheep dung was lame and he would not be able to take the imperial examination in the future, but I forgot to tell my sister."

No wonder, but no matter how much he likes her, it is easy for the Lu family to marry a daughter-in-law. Some people want to marry in, Gao Zhao nodded while rubbing his chin.

His great-uncle, Gao Lushi, was the second grandson of his natal brother, named Lu Yangfeng. Gao Zhao secretly said that it was sheep dung, not because he hated him so much, but because he hated his great-uncle and grand-uncle, and he even disliked people from the Lu family.

　This is a positive story. Even if there are crooked ones, according to the author's past habits, it will not be too old. Let's still tell a happy story.
