Chapter 142 The hero's best mother (Twenty-nine)
She was dressed in plain clothes, with a straight posture; her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her facial features were delicate.
The young boy already has the aura of a gentleman.
Zheng Wanjun had never known that a child under ten years old could be so good-looking.
This kind of beauty does not only come from the appearance, but also from the temperament that comes from the bones.
"Jun'er, this is Dalang from the Zhao family next door. He is two years older than you. You can call him Brother Zhao."
Mr. Zheng saw his little girls as soon as he entered the room. He smiled and introduced them to the two little ones, "Qingyun, this is my daughter, nicknamed Wanjun. She is the little baby that my wife and I have been looking forward to for a long time."
When Mr. Zheng mentioned his daughter, he was like a daughter-slave.
The elegant and delicate face was full of joy and pride.
The belated baby daughter? So, it is "Wanjun" instead of "Wanjun".
"Meet Sister Zheng!"
Zhao Qingyun greeted him in a proper manner.
"Hello, Brother Qingyun!"
Zheng Wanjun walked down the stairs, like a happy little butterfly, and smiled sweetly at Zhao Qingyun.
Zhao Qingyun was a little stunned.
The little girl in front of me, although young, is full of life.
Lively, enthusiastic, and confident from the bottom of her heart.
She is indeed the apple of her parents' eye. She may not be rich, but she has no worries about food and clothing.
She has the innocence of a child, but also the maturity that comes from her parents' careful upbringing.
Elegant, lively and confident... well, a bit like the all-round master's wife, Miss Wan.
Zhao Qingyun was used to his own mother's weakness and easy-going nature, so when he suddenly saw such a capable and strong mother and daughter, he felt an inexplicable sense of freshness.
But, that’s all.
In the original plot, Zhao Qingyun was always betrayed by his own mother.
He is either cleaning up the mess made by his mother, or struggling to pay for the trouble caused by his mother.
He felt tired from the bottom of his heart, and when he saw the virtuous, capable, and family-friendly Miss Wan, he couldn't help but "yearn for her".
He will set a goal in his heart - to marry a wife like Wan Niangzi in the future.
Husband and wife support and rely on each other.
Unlike my parents, where the man is strong and the woman is weak. The woman can't even be strong for her children! ... Gu Qingcheng's arrival, on the surface, maintained her character, but in fact, it had changed the plot.
Zhao Qingyun was not actually harmed by his own mother. He matured in the shortest possible time and recognized himself.
In some ways, he is very much like his biological father, Zhao Guodong, both of whom are male chauvinists.
Protecting the weak seems to have been engraved deep into his soul.
He doesn't think his mother is a trouble, he just thinks he is not strong enough.
As long as he stands high enough and is capable enough, he doesn't need a woman to help him!
Trouble: ...It's crooked! The hero seems to be crooked! It's obviously the famous scene where the hero and the heroine meet for the first time, but it doesn't feel any joy.
Zheng Wanjun was very happy, while Zhao Qingyun was even more polite.
He no longer had much yearning for Miss Wan, and even regarded her daughter as just an ordinary neighbor.
Oh, no, better than the average neighbor.
After all, Zheng Wanjun's father is Zhao Qingyun's husband.
Mr. Zheng thinks highly of Zhao Qingyun.
Teachers all have the instinct to love and cherish talents.
Zhao Qingyun is a rare talent for studying. Mr. Zheng likes him very much and always has the urge and ambition to carve this rough jade into beautiful jade.
It’s a pity that Zhao Qingyun lived a carefree life and even came into contact with several young masters of the county magistrate’s family through his mother.
His world has become different.
To him, Mr. Zheng is not a ray of light in despair, nor the salvation of life, but just a more enthusiastic teacher.
Zhao Qingyun had the same respect for Mr. Zheng as a student had for his teacher, but nothing more.
If there are any "demerits", the relationship between Zhao Qingyun and Mr. Zheng is just that of an ordinary teacher and student.
What was bound to surprise the troublemakers was that Zhao Qingyun's official partner, Zheng Wanjun, turned out to be a demerit.
Of course, Zheng Wanjun was very interested in Zhao Qingyun at the beginning.
She is good-looking, has a good temperament, is smart and studious, and you can tell at first glance that she has potential.
"Mother, Brother Qingyun is so good-looking, his parents should not be bad either."
Deep down, Zheng Wanjun was still somewhat wary of his widowed mother and the mama's boy.
In later generations, she heard many phrases like "buy a pig and look at the pen".
This makes a lot of sense. Marriage is never a matter between two people, but a union of two families.
Especially in ancient times, the time a woman spends with her husband is often less than the time she spends with her mother-in-law.
No matter how good your husband is, if your mother-in-law is vicious and evil, you should not keep such a man.
Zheng Wanjun is not a real child, her mind is as mature as an adult.
She must get married in this life.
But if you marry someone whose background you don't know, it's better to cultivate her from childhood.
A neighbor, her father's student, a good-looking and promising person, this candidate was tailor-made for her.
Childhood sweethearts, knowing each other well, sharing the joys and sorrows, working hard together...such a marriage will be very solid.
Because in addition to love, they also have friendship, and even family affection! Zheng Wanjun began to plan, and before officially taking action, she wanted to make sure that Zhao Qingyun was a real potential stock, and not a good-looking guy with a bright appearance and dirty inner strength! "Qingyun's mother gave birth to a very beautiful child. Looking at Qingyun's eyebrows and eyes, he looks a bit like her."
There was a pile of account books in front of Mrs. Wan. In the middle of the year, she began to take inventory of the accounts.
She is very capable and can do two things at once.
He could use the abacus quickly while chatting with his daughter.
She didn't mention Zhao Qingyun's biological father because she had never seen him.
As for Gu Qingcheng, Wan Niangzi had very complicated feelings.
On the one hand, she admired Gu's character. She was beautiful and young, but she was still willing to remain faithful to her late husband, which was worthy of respect in itself.
On the other hand, she was somewhat disappointed with Gu's weakness and gullibility.
Shouldn't a widow be more strong as a mother?
Mrs. Gu couldn't lift anything with her hands or shoulders, and couldn't do heavy work, but she even asked her niece to do the light work of sewing and mending.
For example, Miss Wan, her father and brother are both officials in the court, and her mother's family is also considered an official family.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But after marrying into the Zheng family, she also had to cook and sew underwear, purses and other items for her husband and children.
When her husband was sick and returned to his hometown to recuperate, Wan Niangzi would personally prepare medicine and feed him.
As strong as Lady Wan is, she feels a bit disappointed with the Gu family because they "can't stand up on their own".
Originally, the two families were just neighbors, and no matter how capable Mrs. Wan was, she would not meddle in the affairs of her neighbors.
But, my husband values Zhao Qingyun and teaches him like his own disciple.
Among Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teachers, for scholars, teachers are second only to their closest relatives.
Sometimes, teachers can even make decisions for students without going through parents and relatives.
The relationship between teachers and students is extraordinary, so both sides are very cautious.
Students hope to find a good teacher, and teachers will also be extra careful when choosing their "disciples".
Mr. Zheng chose Zhao Qingyun, and Zhao Qingyun had an inseparable relationship with the Zheng family.
As Mr. Zheng's good wife and head of the family, Mrs. Wan naturally has to be more thoughtful.
She began to pay attention to the Gu family next door, and the result was -
It’s hard to put it into words.
The Zhao family was actually headed by Zhao Qingyun, who was only nine years old! Zhao Qingyun was in charge of the family's money, house deeds, land deeds, etc.
As a widow, Gu could control no more than five taels of silver.
When she first heard this, Madam Wan misunderstood that Zhao Qingyun was too domineering and suspected of being unfilial.
But after coming into contact with Gu, Madam Wan finally understood Zhao Qingyun's helplessness.
"The Ji family, the second family in the back street, is a notorious rogue. On the first day I visited Gu, I told her not to contact this family easily."
When she heard her daughter asking about the situation next door, Mrs. Wan couldn't help but put down the account book in her hand and complained to her daughter in a low voice.
She was also very depressed.
Her husband values Zhao Qingyun, and Gu is Zhao Qingyun's widowed mother, so Mrs. Wan can't complain to her husband about Gu's weirdness.
But some things, when stuck in your heart, really make you feel uncomfortable.
Also, telling your daughter more stories about other people can remind her not to make mistakes.
I am also teaching my daughter.
Thinking of this, Madam Wan did not hide anything and told Gu in detail what she had done.
"The Ji family? The family with that old rascal and that female tiger?"
For safety reasons, Zheng Wanjun rarely goes out.
However, she was more or less familiar with the neighbors on the same street.
Especially the Ji family, wow, they are simply a rotten apple in the back street of their academy.
You have to know that the people living on this street are either family members of the academy or some sophisticated people.
In later times, it would be considered a high-end school district house.
The residents all have some status and education.
The only exception is the Ji family. They are the old households on this street and have lived here for two or three generations.
After Baiyun Academy was built, their family also benefited from it and the house price soared.
The head of the Ji family, Old Man Ji, was a well-known rogue in the city when he was young.
He has a very bad character, but he has some brains.
His neighbors sold their houses or moved for various reasons, but he always persevered.
Sure enough, he waited for the completion of the academy and the rise of his own house price.
His house has two courtyards. He lives in one courtyard and rents out the other one.
I can support my family with the rent every year.
In addition, next to Baiyun Academy, several of Old Man Ji’s sons have also found ways to make a living.
The family lives a very good life.
But, old man Ji is too greedy and still likes to take advantage of others. Although he no longer steals, he is still a bad neighbor that his neighbors hate.
His wife was even more tyrannical and overbearing, and was a well-known bully in the whole street.
Of the five sons, except for one who is relatively honest and decent, the others are all top-notch.
“…Yes, this is the one!”
When it comes to the Ji family, Madam Wan couldn't help but frown.
Others didn't even have time to hide from such a rogue family, but the Gu family next door ran headfirst into them.
Confused! PS: The New Year holiday is already halfway through, are you guys preparing for work?
