Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 173 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (sixty)
"Master, the Empress Dowager really wants to find a humble scholar for the princess?"

In another small courtyard of the Han family, there were also people talking about Han Jiaojiao's marriage.

The speaker was a woman in her thirties, her appearance was not very glamorous, but delicate.

But her brows are very peaceful, and she speaks softly, revealing a delicate and steady from the bottom of her bones.

She is like a big sister, the way she looks at men is tolerant.

She is Han Chong's first concubine, Aunt Wu. She was Han Chong's maid and served him since childhood.

Aunt Wu and Han Chong have been master and servant for more than 20 years, and the relationship between them is very complicated——

Master and servant!Siblings!lover!loved ones!
She never flattered, nor did she act arrogantly.

But her existence itself was a thorn in the heart of the mistress.

Aunt Wu is not a "concubine" in the true sense, but she has become a famous vixen in Beijing.

The mistress was so angry that the male master had to bear the infamy of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife.

The daughter who was born still had a head above the eldest daughter of her original wife.

Those who have never met Aunt Wu will definitely imagine her as a stunning enchantress after hearing her "deeds".

And once you see her, you will have a doubt: Is this it? !
He has an average appearance and is three years older than Han Chong.

It is better than gentleness and stability.

But there are a lot of people like this.

Why did Princess Yongjia suffocate herself to death because of such an "old woman"?
Some people even think that it is Princess Yongjia who is too much, jealous and intolerable, that's why——

Aunt Wu is not deliberately performing to whitewash herself, she has such a temperament herself.

That's why Han Chong felt particularly distressed.

Even Mrs. Cheng'en also interceded for her in front of the Queen Mother.

"Ok!"

Hearing Aunt Wu's question, Han Chong responded indifferently.

"Child from a poor family, this background is too low!"

Concern was written on Aunt Wu's gentle face, "The Princess is a noble person, and her body is also weak. Isn't it too wronged for such a low marriage?"

She was not pretending to be loving or generous, but was really worried about Han Jiaojiao.

Han Chong raised his head and looked at Aunt Wu fixedly. Seeing her sincere eyes, he said slowly, "This is what my aunt and cousin meant."

“Besides, I think it’s not bad!”

Han Chong didn't have much affection for Han Jiaojiao, his daughter.

When Han Jiaojiao was born, his relationship with Princess Yongjia was the most rigid.

Princess Yongjia insisted on driving Aunt Wu away, and Han Chong felt that she was making trouble for no reason.

There were also Chengen Gong's wife and cousin in the middle, and the couple almost turned against each other.

And Han Jiaojiao is only four months older than Han Chong and Aunt Wu's beloved daughter.

Han Chong's loving fatherly heart was all given to this concubine.

Later, when Princess Yongjia went to the post with him, she died of illness in the local area, and Han Jiaojiao became more and more transparent in the Han family.

Han Jiaojiao barely survived a serious illness.

After the Queen Mother Han in Beijing heard about this, she immediately sent an old maid who had served Princess Yongjia to come and take Han Jiaojiao away.

This separation is three years.

Three years later, Han Chong was finally able to transfer back to the capital.

Han Jiaojiao was also taken back to the Duke's Mansion.

However, on the first day Han Jiaojiao returned to Beijing, she passed out outside her gate.

Although the step-wife was scolded as "unkind", Han Chong, the father, was also pulled out to "whip his corpse".

All his bad deeds such as doting on concubines, destroying his wife, and making his first wife angry to death were all uncovered.

Han Chong originally wanted to go back to the capital to do something big, but in the end, thanks to Han Jiaojiao, an unfilial daughter, Han Chong would be pointed at when he went out.

There are also some dandies who are jealous of his talents, and try their best to ridicule him in all kinds of ways.

When he went to the Yamen, his colleagues and subordinates looked at him very strangely.

It seems that he is a heartless man and the biggest fool of the day!

Isn't it stupid?

He disrespected his wife who was of noble birth and had a generous "dowry", but favored a lowly maid.

He obviously had the opportunity to make contributions, but he was ruined because of the disaster in the inner court.

Some powerful generals in the army were even more irritated when they met him at the court meeting, and they almost pointed their noses at him and called him "bastard"!
"What do they know? They don't know anything!"

"I, Han Chong! I passed the examination as a scholar, and I am proficient in horseback riding and archery."

"Yun Wen Yun Wu, among the new generation of children in Beijing, is the best."

As a result, just because he married Princess Yongjia, his talents were covered up.

Others would only say that he was lucky, relying on his status as a son-in-law and the shadow of the Huo family, he could be promoted!
nonsense!

He is not relying on women's wimps.

Originally, Han Chong liked Princess Yongjia. She was such a bright and flamboyant woman, just like the most gorgeous peony flower.

However, Han Chong really couldn't stand the criticism from outsiders.

As if to prove himself, Han Chong deliberately promoted Aunt Wu and ignored Princess Yongjia.

I watched a delicate flower wither and wither day by day.

Princess Yongjia died, and Han Chong regretted it endlessly.

Even with that, she felt guilty about the only daughter she left behind.

However, when people brought Han Jiaojiao over, Han Chong was extremely disappointed——

This is his and Yongjia's daughter?
Why are you so timid, timid and cowardly?
She was petty all over, feeling aggrieved, as if she had been abused so much.

She doesn't look like the daughter of his Han family at all.

Compared with the Pearl, there is no comparison.

Han Chong's inexplicable male chauvinism began to cause trouble, and he detested Han Jiaojiao in every possible way.

Han Jiaojiao was already worried about losing her mother, but when she finally saw her only blood relative, she was deeply hurt by the indifference in the other party's eyes.

She became more timid and inferior.

It's all my fault, I'm not as good as my sister, I've embarrassed my mother and let my father down.

And the more she behaved like this, the more disgusted Han Chong became.

In this way, it enters into a vicious circle.

Until Grandma Zhou picked the person up.

Han Chong almost forgot about the existence of Han Jiaojiao, his eldest daughter.

He regards his concubine Han Mingzhu as the apple of his eye, enlightens and teaches her personally.

Aunt Wu was standing aside, and the three of them looked happy, like a family of three.

However, all this beautiful life was completely shattered after Han Jiaojiao returned to Beijing.

Han Chong once again fell into the whirlpool of public opinion. Aunt Wu became infamous as the most beloved concubine, and Han Mingzhu, a former famous lady in Beijing, was also implicated.

"It's all my fault, Han Jiaojiao, an unfilial daughter!"

Han Chong hated it secretly, but the current Han Jiaojiao was no longer that poor four or five-year-old girl who raised her head and begged for her father's love.

She became increasingly frail.

As soon as Han Chong said a few words of "admonishment", people started wiping away tears.

Han Chong: ...Stop fucking crying!
Han Chong was afraid of scolding his daughter until he vomited blood and making his already dirty reputation even worse, so he just flung his sleeves and walked away angrily.

"Don't care! I won't care about this unfilial daughter anymore!"

Han Chong didn't just yell casually.

He really doesn't care anymore.

Han Jiaojiao didn't get married until she was 16, and Han Chong didn't care.

On the contrary, he happily betrothed Han Mingzhu as the youngest son of the Zhenguo family.

Alas, Mingzhu is good at everything, her appearance and talents are very similar to her.

The only shortcoming is that the background is not good enough.

Although Han Chong "persuaded" his step-wife to record Han Mingzhu in her name, she became the nominal legitimate daughter.

However, what is fake is fake, which means it sounds better.

If the time comes to talk about marriage, people from the right family will be equally disgusted.

In the end, Han Chong went through all kinds of selection and inspection and selected the son of the Cheng family.

The youngest son has four legitimate brothers in front of him. No matter what happens, it is impossible for him to inherit the title.

However, the advantage is that he is the legitimate son of the Duke of Guo, his parents love him, and his elder brother takes care of him.

The most wonderful thing is that Cheng Wulang is a good seedling who studies.

At the age of 15, he passed the examination as a scholar, and after two years to participate in Qiuwei, he might be able to win Juren.

Cheng Wulang is not a child from a poor family, he needs to rely on the imperial examination to change his fate.

He can be admitted to Juren, that is the icing on the cake.

My own daughter is a famous talented girl in the capital, and she is a perfect match for Cheng Wulang!
"Forget about Nanping, let's prepare a dowry for Mingzhu."

"Well, to be honest, I'm sorry for you, I can't even give you a decent property!"

Speaking of dowry, Han Chong looked at Aunt Wu with some guilt.

As the eldest son of Cheng'en Gongfu, his parents value him, his aunt loves him, and his grandmother and other elders dote on him.

His coffers were quite full.

However, when Yongjia died of illness, the Queen Mother did not want to punish Han Chong out of consideration for her blood relatives, but she had to make a show of it and give an explanation to the Huo family.

Therefore, the Queen Mother Han took the initiative and confiscated Han Chong's private treasury and put it all under Han Jiaojiao's name.

Han Chong was not allowed to return to Beijing, so he was asked to "think about his mistakes" in the local area.

Han Chong didn't care about thinking about it.

But his little treasury was taken away, and he really felt pain.

Originally, he was still thinking that Aunt Wu came from a humble background and had no money in her hands.

He planned to divide some from his private treasury and record it in Aunt Wu's name.

In the future, when his children get married, he will also give them another inheritance from his private treasury.

result--

Nothing left!
In the same three years in the local area, Han Chong worked hard to save more.

But these are really nothing compared to the private treasury taken by Han Jiaojiao.

Now that Han Mingzhu is getting married, the father-in-law of the Han family will pay a dowry, but that's all.

The Queen Mother hated Aunt Wu, and even Han Mingzhu was affected.

At most, the Empress Dowager just added a little make-up symbolically, but she was not as generous as she was with Han Jiaojiao.

And the step-wife would probably not give a dowry to a cheap daughter.

It is Mrs. Cheng Engong, Princess Yongjia's death, she will not scold her son, but she will blame Aunt Wu for being a fox.

Compared with Han Mingzhu, the daughter of Aunt Wu, Mrs. Chengen loves the children of her step-wife more.

Han Chong calculated over and over again and found that Han Mingzhu's dowry was actually a bit shabby!

Not to mention comparing with Han Jiaojiao who has a rich family, even other noble girls in Beijing can't compare.

Don't even think about Shili Hongzhuang. It's a bit reluctant to be able to collect a hundred and eighty-dollar dowry.

Han Chong was worried that it was too late for his beloved daughter's dowry, so how could he have the time to care about Han Jiaojiao, an unfilial daughter?

Seeing that Han Chong was so "willful", Aunt Wu couldn't persuade her anymore, so she had no choice but to give up...
