Chapter 158 The protagonist's best mother (forty-five)
Gulp!
Mrs. Zhao swallowed hard, not believing her ears at all.
"Qingyun, what did you say?"
Not only her, but also the old couple Zhao Dashan, Zhao Da, Zhao Er and his wife, and Zhao Si and his wife, all widened their eyes.
Why is he still talking in his sleep after such a long time? The owner of the largest embroidery shop in the county wants to marry their daughter? Not a concubine, but a legitimate wife.
How, how is this possible?
"Sister Yuanyi is very good at embroidery, and she has a very good appearance and temperament. The Ho Tung family has three sons. The eldest and second sons are already married, so they asked for Sister Yuanyi to marry for their youngest son."
Zhao Qingyun said slowly with a smile.
When he saw that everyone in the Zhao family’s old house was shocked, he knew that this family would no longer be a problem for him.
Because he had a way to control them.
Bang!
Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law stared at Zhao Qingyun's eyes, and after making sure that he did not speak, she stood up excitedly, with such force that she knocked over the stool.
"Really? My daughter is so successful?"
She can embroider and was chosen by the boss! She didn't marry a second-married man or an old man, but a young master of the same age.
Oh my god!
Oh my god! This is real, not a dream, and certainly not hysteria.
Originally, Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law thought that it would be a blessing if her eldest daughter could go to the county to gain some experience and then marry into a family richer than the Zhao family after returning.
Unexpectedly, Daya was so capable that she actually married directly into a wealthy family.
This is just like a little girl from the mountains in later generations, who didn't even go to college, but relied on some skills to marry the second generation of a rich man working in a textile factory in the county.
Zhao's wife pinched her thigh desperately, and the severe pain reminded her: It's true!
This time, it was Zhao Da, who was usually slow to react, who was the first to react.
He looked at Zhao Qingyun with complicated eyes, and a hint of shame flashed across his face.
He whispered, "…thanks to my brother-in-law!"
Although the third brother's family is timid and confused and cannot support the family.
But she was "lucky" enough to meet a noble person like Mrs. Cui and have an embroiderer as her neighbor.
If it weren't for her, her daughter would never have the opportunity to learn embroidery and would not have been favored by the owner of the embroidery shop.
When Zhao's wife heard her husband's whisper, she also reacted.
She quickly turned around and thanked Zhao Qingyun repeatedly, "Thanks to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is really the best aunt."
"I will go to the county tomorrow and thank my brother and sister-in-law in person!"
As for why it is tomorrow and not now?
The answer is: Zhao's wife also wants to show off to her neighbors and relatives.
Her daughter is going to join a wealthy family!
Their eldest wife is also going to rise up! The eyes of Zhao Er and Zhao Si were red with envy and jealousy.
Zhao Er's wife regretted again that she should have sent her daughter away last time.
Although my daughter is a little younger, she looks no worse than Daya.
If my daughter learns embroidery with Daya, she can also go to the embroidery shop.
Even if you can't marry into a good family now, you can still arrange the marriage in advance.
Zhao Er's wife regretted it so much that she almost slapped herself.
Zhao Qingyun had sharp eyes and naturally did not miss the expression of regret and jealousy on Zhao Er's wife.
He curled the corners of his lips and began to speak to Zhao Er's wife: "By the way, Second Aunt, I gave Brother Gou Dan a name, Qingyang."
"Brother Qingyang went to the academy with me. He has learned a lot in the past few months."
"However, Brother Qingyang said that he doesn't like studying very much and wants to learn a craft."
"It just so happens that a teahouse near the academy is looking for waiters. Brother Qingyang can read, and the accountant likes him very much and wants to take him in as an apprentice."
"Second uncle, second aunt, two elders, what do you think we should do about this?"
At the end of his speech, Zhao Qingyun deliberately threw out a question.
When Zhao Qingyun said that he had given Goudan a name, Zhao Er's wife felt a little uncomfortable.
He is not a cousin, let alone an elder, so how can he be so arrogant as to name his brother? However, when she heard that the accountant of the teahouse wanted to take Goudan, no, Qingyang as an apprentice because he could read, she was immediately delighted.
As for the awkwardness in my heart, it has long disappeared.
Why is it inappropriate?
Qingyun is the literary star of the Zhao family.
Although he is young, he is very capable.
Goudan got the name given by Qingyun, maybe he will have some luck.
No! Not maybe, but already touched! An apprentice in an accounting office, after completing his studies, he will be an accounting office! There was an old boy in Zhao Er's wife's family. Although he failed to pass the examination to become a scholar, he went to work as an accounting office in a county shop because he could read.
Wow, two taels of silver a month as monthly allowance, with gifts for festivals and bonuses at the end of the year.
After a few years of hard work, he built a big tiled house for his family and bought more than ten acres of fertile land.
Zhao Er's wife was well aware that her son was not good at studying.
But if you can become an accountant, it will be a lifelong job.
When talking about marriage, you can put forward conditions with confidence and choose the girls carefully!
The more Zhao Er's wife thought about it, the more excited she became, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
As for Zhao Qingyun’s question, it’s not a question at all, okay!
What to do? What else can I do? Of course I have to agree to it quickly and cleanly.
Without consulting Zhao Er's wife or Zhao Er, the couple shouted in unison, "Go! Let him go!"
So what if Daya married into a good family? She is a married daughter after all.
But it’s different for my own dog.
He is a son, and if he succeeds, the whole family will benefit.
Zhao Si’s wife: …
So envious, jealous and hateful!
The belt in her hand was about to be torn by her.
Damn it!
Damn it!
Why is her child so small?
Not even a bit of light can get on it.
"Aunt Four, Chouya is doing well in my family. My mother named her 'Jingyi'."
Zhao Qingyun's gaze fell on the fourth branch of the Zhao family again.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
I heard that my little girl also had a name, and it’s called Jingyi.
Zhao Si's wife was not very happy.
Jingyi is still young, a seven-year-old child, what can she do? If she wants to be like Daya, she will need several more years.
"Mother said that Jingyi's hands are very skillful. In two years, when Jingyi is older, I will send her to learn cooking."
Zhao Qingyun was not saying this to deceive Zhao Si's wife, Gu Qingcheng did say so.
Well, now that we have exquisite clothes, the food also needs to be improved.
Zhao Si's wife was still somewhat dissatisfied.
What's the point of being a cook? She looked at the eldest daughter-in-law who was so excited that she couldn't control herself, and then looked at the second daughter-in-law who was smiling happily. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she said, "Qingyun, Goudan has gone to the teahouse to be an apprentice, and you are in need of someone to accompany you to study."
"Although my stinky baby is a little young, he is very smart. Otherwise——"
Having a young son also has its advantages.
He has been studying with Zhao Qingyun since he was young. He looks like a "book boy", but in fact he is studying for free.
I am so smart, and the fourth son doesn't look stupid either. Even if their son is not as good as Zhao Qingyun, is he not as good as Goudan? Even if he can't learn anything, he should go to the third house to get some light.
Otherwise, our family will suffer a great loss!
Adhering to the principle that if you can't benefit from the benefits, you will suffer a loss, Zhao Si's wife wished she could give her four-year-old son to Zhao Qingyun.
Zhao Qingyun: ...I do want to train my cousins, but a four-year-old child is still breastfeeding at home. What am I going to do with him in the county town? Be his wet nurse?
Another thing is that Zhao Qingyun has not forgotten the humiliation that the Zhao family’s old house has inflicted on his family.
For various reasons, he had to help the people in the old house.
But, that’s all.
He couldn't treat these people as family members.
He would not plan for them sincerely.
Utilize! Suppress! That's what Zhao Qingyun wants to do most.
"Yes! Yes! Goudan is going to be an apprentice, so I can let my wild boar take care of you!"
Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law woke up from her surprise and began to be more greedy, trying hard to promote her second son.
Although I am too old to go to school, it would be nice for me to learn a skill like Goudan.
The third room provides food and accommodation, as well as tuition fees for becoming an apprentice. Mrs. Zhao wanted to send all her children to the third room.
"My Niu Dan'er is more suitable!" Zhao Er's wife's voice was full of self-righteousness.
The vacancy left by Goudan was vacated by the second wife, so it should be filled by the second wife’s son!
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are too greedy! How can you eat more and take more?"
"Who is greedy? You are greedy!"
"Bullshit! My family suffers the most——"
Several daughters-in-law were quarreling with each other. Although the eldest, second and fourth brothers did not get involved, they all looked unhappy.
This is the rhythm of a quarrel.
Zhao Dashan puffed on his pipe, as if he didn't care about the noise made by his son and daughter-in-law.
In fact, he had already begun to despair in his heart.
This family has indeed been controlled by this little bastard Zhao Qingyun.
"cough!"
Zhao Qingyun coughed lightly.
The noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
Several couples turned their heads and looked at Zhao Qingyun with burning eyes.
Zhao Qingyun smiled harmlessly, "When I came back just now, I ran into the clan leader at the entrance of the village."
"When the clan leader heard about Sister Yuanyi and Brother Qingyang's happy events, he was also happy."
"The chieftain asked me to visit him later—"
The vast majority of people in Zhaojiazhuang are members of the Zhao clan.
Going back a few generations, they are all brothers and cousins.
Some of them don’t even need to be counted, as they are not even five generations older than Zhao Qingyun.
For example, Patriarch Zhao.
Zhao Qingyun needed help, there were plenty of them! There was no need to give them all to the people in the Zhao family's old house.
It just so happened that Zhao Qingyun first took care of the relatives in the Zhao family's old house. Even if he later helped other clansmen or even strangers, outsiders would not say that he was selfish, cold-hearted, or unfilial.
Couples Zhao Da, Zhao Er, Zhao Si and others may not have thought of this at this time.
But, the three words from Patriarch Zhao still made them shut up.
Damn it, the Zhao clan leader is also like that. He has a distant relationship with our family, so how dare he ask Qingyun for "help"? He is clearly relying on his position as clan leader to deliberately seize the benefits that belong to their three branches.
What was even more hateful was that the Zhao brothers didn't dare to make a fuss and could only watch Zhao Qingyun go to the Zhao clan leader's house...
