Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 130
That afternoon, Aunt Li fell ill.

Three days later, the noble "aunt" who had just made her mark in the county passed away due to illness.

Aunt Li was originally a maid sent by others, and was sold by her family under a death contract.

Even though she was later promoted to an aunt and became a so-called concubine, her sale contract was still in Mrs. Cui's hand.

Whether she lives or dies is at the discretion of Mrs. Cui, the master.

Therefore, even if he just "died of illness", even if he really made a mistake and was beaten to death by Mrs. Cui, it is legal and reasonable.

However, for the sake of the magistrate's reputation and the peace of the family, Mrs. Cui proposed to cover up Aunt Li's various wrongdoings.

Letting her "die" not only prevents the magistrate from being stigmatized, but also saves Aunt Li's dignity.

After all, Aunt Li gave birth to two children for the magistrate.

I have to say that Mrs. Cui’s actions moved the magistrate very much.

He looked at his fat uncle's face, his eyes full of tenderness and sweetness: "I knew it, I knew my wife loved me the most and valued me the most."

He was extremely lucky in his heart. No wonder people in the world say "Marry a virtuous wife".

He was extremely lucky to marry a good wife of noble birth.

When he climbed up the ranks of the Cui family and married a daughter of a rich family, more than a few envious people made slanderous remarks.

What is soft rice, what is the door!
Humph, they don’t understand at all.

I would rather marry a maidservant than a daughter of a small family.

Not only the big family is noble, even a maid is better than others.

It's that the big family is well-bred, understands the rules, knows how to advance and retreat, and can take care of the overall situation.

Aunt Li's various behaviors vividly illustrate what it means to be an ignorant and fearless little house girl.

She probably didn't want to "frame" her master on purpose, she was just greedy, she was stupid, and she just had no knowledge!
I only know how to bully others, but I don't know that "power" is also a double-edged sword.

If he doesn't do it right, his master and even the whole family will suffer backlash.

It's still my wife who is sensible and considers the overall situation. She has never targeted concubines because of trivial matters between women.

She would attack Mr. Li mostly because she had overstepped her bounds and actually extended her hand from the back house to the front hall.

This is a taboo!

It is also the root of ruin.

When something went wrong, Mrs. Cui immediately collected evidence, returned the loan resolutely, and burned the deed in front of the borrower.

There were also those maids who knew about it, as well as the thugs outside who cheated under the guise of the county magistrate, and they were all beaten and locked up by Mrs. Cui, without messing around at all.

It didn't affect the prefect's reputation!
Aunt Li was ill and died.

As for the outside affairs, she didn't know about it at all, and the dead were the most important.

And those slaves who deceived their masters, took advantage of others, and those slaves who bluffed and deceived were also punished as they should.

……Perfect!
"My lord trusts me, respects me and loves me, and entrusts Zhongji to me. I will do it wholeheartedly!"

Seeing her husband's middle-aged greasy face, Mrs. Cui felt very disgusted.

However, she didn't show any expression on her face, but a look of affection.

Keeping calm and being good at "patience", this is an essential skill that Mrs. Cui has learned since she was a daughter of a wealthy family.

My daughter, hehe, she is so virtuous.

I feel disgusted in my heart, but I can still say something that satisfies the other party.

The magistrate was so excited that Mrs. Cui was thinking: Oh, how could a young and handsome Jinshi become like this in just ten years?

It's better to take the time to see Gu.

Wash your eyes and change your mood.

Such a beautiful and weak person, looking at her, can eat two extra bowls of food!
……

"Dalang, don't worry, in the future, I will support this family!"

"When the business with the aunt magistrate is finished, our family will have dozens of taels of silver in the account."

"You just study, and A Niang is in charge of everything!"

Gu Qingcheng was sent back by her mother-in-law, and she seemed to be in an inexplicable excitement.

She took Zhao Qingyun's arm and said happily.

Zhao Qingyun: ... He really wanted to say, mother, don't do anything, just rely on the money my father left, the three of them can support me until I pass the scholar exam.

Zhao Qingyun is young, but he has become particularly precocious because he has an unreliable biological mother and a biological father who is always around the house.

He would habitually clean up the mess for his mother.

Under the subtle influence of his father, he will also evolve towards a "universal" man.

That is, not only can you study hard, but you can also be responsible for making money to support your family in the future.

As for the trivial matters at home, and the troubles that his mother might cause, he also took care of everything.

Nine-year-old Zhao Qingyun has been able to guess how much money his father can earn and how much money his family has in savings based on some details.

In addition to the more than 100 taels that my mother "lent" to the old house over the years, their family should still have more than 100 taels of silver.

His own father, Zhao Guodong, is really capable.

Not only can he see a doctor, but he can also concoct medicinal materials.

Zhao Qingyun vaguely remembered that when he was very young, his father went to the mountains to dig a ginseng tree.

His father's surprised and proud look was deeply engraved in Zhao Qingyun's mind.

Just looking at his father's expression, Zhao Qingyun knew that the ginseng tree must be valuable.

It is estimated that it was because of this harvest that my father had the courage to go to the mountains to "try his luck" again.

The family has more than 100 taels of silver in savings, why is the father still working so hard?
Zhao Qingyun also knew the reason——

One is for Zhao Qingyun.He is talented and a good student in reading.

But the Mr. Private School in the village is only a scholar. Zhao Guodong was worried that he would delay Zhao Qingyun, so he planned to go to the county.

There is an academy in the county. The president of the academy is a high-ranking official, and most of the gentlemen are also candidates.

The quality of both teachers and students is far higher than that of private schools in Zhaojiazhuang.

However, wanting to go to the county is not as simple as talking about it.

Buying a house or buying a shop requires money!

Zhao Guodong once went to the county to inquire. If he wanted to buy an ordinary small courtyard, it would cost more than 100 taels of silver.

And the house with a front shop and a backyard that he values ​​costs more than 300 taels.

Zhao Guodong has always been a man with plans, he takes one step and sees three steps.

He decided to move his family to the county town. He would not rashly use all his family assets to buy a house and then live in the northwest wind as a family.

He bought a shop by the way, even if he couldn't open a pharmacy himself, renting it out would still be a profit.

The second is for his wife Gu.

Gu Shi is weak and has soft ears, so she can be easily fooled by others.

The Zhao family's old house is full of top-notch people, and their appetites have been raised by the Gu family.

When I first came to borrow money, it was only a dozen or dozens of yuan.

Later on, he actually dared to borrow five taels of silver just by opening his mouth.

Zhao Guodong couldn't imagine, if a few years later, those people in the old house would just empty out his family's wealth?

Zhao Guodong liked Gu and couldn't bear to scold him.

Ahem, of course he scolded, and Mrs. Gu may not have a long memory.

If he can't change his wife, Zhao Guodong can only move.

Staying away from Zhaojiazhuang and the group of vampires in the old house, my life might be better.

It happened that there was such a nice house in the county, and it agreed with Zhao Guodong in every way, but the difference was more than 200 taels of silver.

No matter how talented Zhao Guodong is, he can't get so much money in a short period of time.

Thinking of the "surprise" he got in the mountains, Zhao Guodong——

Recalling these, Zhao Qingyun's eyes flashed with sadness.

He was also responsible for his father's death.

However, Zhao Qingyun quickly cheered up.

He knew that even if he repented and blamed himself, his father would never come back.

The dead are gone, but the living still have to live well.

Clenching his small fist vigorously, Zhao Qingyun said silently in his heart again: Dad, you can go with peace of mind, this family still has me!

He will be filial to his mother, take care of his younger brother, take the imperial examination, become a high official, and be a glory to the Zhao family!
"Dalang, this business is really profitable. If you earn more than 100 taels, you can earn back 40 taels a month!"

Gu Qingcheng didn't seem to see the gloomy change on Zhao Qingyun's young face, and she was still talking to herself.

More than 100 taels of silver?
These few words, like a heavy hammer, directly woke up the absent-minded Zhao Qingyun!
His eyes suddenly widened and he looked at his mother with clear stupidity shining in her eyes, "Aniang, you, you took all the money left by my father for 'business'?"

More than 100 taels of silver, and was cheated away all at once? !

Zhao Qingyun only felt that his eyes were getting dark for a while.

Just now, when the servant girl who looked like she belonged to a wealthy family sent her mother back, she told her that she had met a noble man in the city, and also said that she spent ten taels of silver on a broken knife on the way.

Zhao Qingyun only thought of her as a mother and was coaxed by someone. She was defrauded of dozens of taels of silver.

But he never expected that his own mother would be so "courageous" and take away all the family's money!
More than 100 taels of silver, enough for their family to study in Zhaojiazhuang for three years of filial piety.

If planned properly, there should be some left for him to use as capital for making money in the future.

result--

pinching his palms hard, Zhao Qingyun used the pain to remind himself to stay rational.

He was worried that he would lose control of his emotions in a moment of impatience, and then yell at his mother.

Recently, there have been bad rumors outside.

Zhao Qingyun will not be influenced by other people's remarks, but he still can't completely ignore it.

If his reputation is ruined, how can he talk about his future?
It stands to reason that as a woman, she should obey the three virtues and the four virtues.

It is even more customary to obey a son even after his husband dies.

But the "son" Zhao Qingyun is too young, and he dares to control his mother at a young age. This will allow some people who are deliberately looking for trouble to take the opportunity to slander him.

Zhao Qingyun has a clear and long-term plan for his life, and he must not let these small problems affect his big plans!
Don't get angry, I can't lose my temper with my mother.

cocoa--

More than 100 taels of silver!

Is it just a waste of time?
Zhao Qingyun felt that his heart was bleeding, and he felt deeply powerless and endless helpless towards Shan Cun's mother.

"Yes! Your father left a total of more than 130 taels of silver. I gave your cousin 120 taels as a shareholding, and the remaining [-] taels were given to the poor father..."

Gu Qingcheng seemed to be unable to read people's faces and spoke innocently.

PS: It’s New Year’s Eve. Although it still doesn’t feel like the New Year as always, but the New Year is the New Year. I wish my dear book friends in advance good health on New Year’s Eve and good luck in the Year of the Rabbit!
