After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 507 Extra ()

Zhang Yuniang smiled and looked at the backs of Xie Xingchuan and Wang He as they talked together.

Gu Mingda appeared behind his wife without knowing when.

Even though Zhang Yunniang didn't look back, she seemed to know that the person behind her was her husband.

"You are really careful. You can see that this boy has special feelings for Wang He." Zhang Yuniang said in a low voice.

Gu Mingda chuckled: "This kid doesn't like to talk usually. Besides Niuniu, he only mentioned Wang He a few times."

Zhang Yunniang said: "Wang He is an extraordinary girl. Who would dare to run to the border?"

Gu Mingda said: "So this is a match made in heaven. Apart from her, there is really no one more suitable for Xingchuan."

Wang He is an orphan without a father or a mother. Ordinary parents would probably despise her, but Gu's parents are different.

Xie Xingchuan's future was earned by himself, and what he likes is more important than anything else.

The life at the border is too harsh and the wind and sand are too strong. If there is a like-minded person to accompany him, the Gu couple can completely put their minds at ease.

"Father and mother, grandma wants to talk to you about something."

Qin Jingshu's voice rang out behind the couple.

Zhang Yunniang looked back at her and asked, "Did grandma say what it was?"

Qin Jingshu whispered, "Grandma doesn't seem to be feeling well."

Zhang Yunniang stepped forward to support her and took a look at her slightly bulging belly: "Walk slowly, don't get tired."

Qin Jingshu smiled and nodded.

A few years ago, Qin Er caused trouble. He was close to the Song Palace and got involved in a rebellion. After the rebellion failed, the entire Xianguo Mansion was implicated.

If it weren't for Niu Niu, the old emperor would have shown leniency and executed Qin Er. He also confiscated the Duke Xianguo's mansion and stripped him of his title, and Qin Jing was also implicated.

Originally, Qin Jing was to be demoted to Lingnan, but after Niu Niu pleaded for him, the old emperor changed his mind and demoted him to the northwest.

The once prestigious Duke Xian's Mansion fell into decline overnight.

Today, the Qin family only has one old house left in the capital. So many members of the Qin family are crowded together, and the men in the family are not ambitious enough, so they have to rely on several married women for support to make ends meet.

Before the Xian Guogong Mansion fell into decline, the Xian Guogong's wife was determined not to marry Qin Jingshu into the Gu family. But after the Xian Guogong Mansion fell into decline, the Gu family actually became a good match for the marriage.

Speaking of this marriage, it was Niuniu who proposed it. The Qin family fell into decline, and the wife of Duke Xian wanted to marry her daughter to Duke He, who was in his forties, as a concubine for the sake of wealth and status.

Niu Niu had an idea and thought about her own family. She mentioned this matter to her parents.

Gu Mingda didn't want to make things too awkward with the Duke of Xianguo's mansion. He had taught Qin Jingshu for a while and knew that she was actually a good child. It was a pity to marry her to Gu Zhao. Zhang Yunniang was also worried about her youngest son's marriage at that time. Although Gu Mingda's official position was getting higher and higher, Gu Zhao was devoted to studying medicine and raising insects, and did not take the imperial examination route like Gu Yan. In the eyes of the family with equal status, this son seemed unlearned.

Good families were unwilling to marry their daughters to Zhang Yunniang, and not-so-good families were only interested in marrying off to wealthy and powerful men. Zhang Yunniang had very low requirements for her daughter-in-law, as long as she wasn't a troublemaker. But she couldn't find a suitable one for a while.

I don't know how many young girls have been scared away because of the idea of ​​raising insects.

The appearance of Qin Jingshu solved Zhang Yuniang's urgent problem.

She is beautiful and has a good temper, and most importantly, she is familiar with the Gu family and knows them inside and out.

Qin Jingshu knew about Gu Zhao raising insects very early on. Although she did not accompany him in raising insects, she was not opposed to it.

Under Zhang Yunniang's advice, Gu Zhao did not dare to put the insects under his wife's nose. In this way, one respected the other's hobbies and the other was willing to give in, and the relationship between the couple became better and better.

Only the wife of Duke Xian was still muttering that her daughter should marry a prince or nobleman when she had nothing to do.

Qin Jingshu didn't regret it at all. She had always liked the family atmosphere of the Gu family. Now that she had finally become a member of the Gu family, she realized how happy it was to be a member of the Gu family.

She was ready to be a virtuous daughter-in-law, but neither she nor Shen Ling, who was of noble birth, had ever been set any rules by her mother-in-law.

When she was a child, she also saw the wife of Duke Xianguo being set rules by the dowager. When the dowager was having a meal, the wife of Duke Xianguo, who had always been pampered, had to stand by and serve obediently.

Before Qin Jingshu got married, Lady Xian even grumbled: "A young lady from our Duke's Mansion is actually being dictated to by a peasant woman from a remote village. This is really a decline in morals..."

Zhang Yunniang came from a humble background, and she never shied away from her origins.

Qin Jingshu refuted her mother on the spot on behalf of her future mother-in-law: "Although Madam Gu was born a commoner, she is diligent, studious, and sensible. She is an extremely kind official wife. Mother, please don't say such things anymore. If you really want to examine our identities, we are no longer the Xian Guogong Mansion."

If it weren't for their eldest brother Qin Jing still being an official, they wouldn't even be considered a family of officials.

When Lady Xianguo heard this, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face. She threw the handkerchief in her hand angrily and left.

"I heard from your sister-in-law from your mother's side that a fortune teller said that your elder brother might have a disaster with water this year. Has he survived it now?" Zhang Yunniang asked as she led her daughter-in-law to the inner house.

Qin Jingshu nodded and said, "What the fortune teller said was very accurate. The northwest is short of water and it rarely rains. If it weren't for the people around him who helped me, I'm afraid my brother would have been washed away by the river. Fortunately, the rivers in the northwest are not as deep and fast as those here."

Zhang Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's over. Otherwise, I'd always be worried. So, is your sister-in-law going to the northwest to accompany him this year?"

"My nephew is now one year old and can set off. My sister-in-law has decided to go there next month to accompany my brother." Qin Jingshu said with a smile.

The wife of Duke Xian was not an easy mother-in-law to get along with. Even though my eldest sister-in-law came from a good family, her grandfather retired this year and her family was not as well off as before. The wife of Duke Xian blamed her family for not transferring Qin Jing back to be an official and lost her temper with her several times.

Lady Xian of Duke Xian had lived a life of luxury all her life, and she was absolutely unwilling to follow her daughter-in-law to suffer at the border. However, she had not been in the capital for long, and had only been bothering Qin Er's wife, Princess Rongjia, for a few days when she tripped over something when getting out of bed, and her head hit the ground, causing a bleeding head.

She was seriously injured and lay in bed for a while. Duke Xian didn't want to take care of her, so only Princess Rongjia served her.

But even at this point, she still refused to give Princess Rongjia any good face. She blamed Princess Rongjia all day long for relying on Qin Er, not taking good care of her husband, and causing Qin Er to drag down the whole family.
