Half a day later, the news spread throughout the capital—
The noble lady of the Han family had just returned to Beijing. Before she even entered the house, she was scolded by her stepmother and cried, and was forced to vomit blood.
Coughing up blood at a young age is not a good sign.
This is a sign of premature death!
Han Jiaojiao became famous in one battle and shocked the entire Han family.
From then on, no one dared to mess with her.
Why bother her?
A sickly person who vomits blood at the slightest provocation. If you provoke her and she dies, it's your fault.
If she didn't die, she would have to bear the stigma of bullying patients.
The second wife of the Han family is such a bloody example.
After just one encounter and a few innuendos, which were common among the women in the inner chambers, she was stripped of her housekeeping powers and confined to her house for three months.
Tsk, all the face and dignity are gone!
This is because she is the Dowager's niece, and the Han family cannot punish her too harshly.
Otherwise, it is possible to send her to a Buddhist temple and let her rest for two or three years!
Han Jiaojiao is treated like a fragile porcelain doll by the whole family and is taken care of and treated with great care.
Lazily lying on the finely crafted bed, I felt a little melancholy.
Alas, Auntie, when can you come to Beijing?
I miss you!
…
After Han Jiaojiao left, the courtyard on the west side became empty.
It wasn't long before there was a new owner.
Yes, the yard was sold.
The head of the new family is a retired veteran.
It is said that his hometown is local, but he went out to serve in the army more than 20 years ago.
When he was almost fifty years old, the old man missed his hometown and returned with his family.
But I have no relatives left in my hometown village, not even any familiar friends.
The old man felt very lost, but he was reluctant to leave his hometown, so he simply went into the county town.
He used his savings to buy a yard on the back street of the college and became a neighbor of Gu Qingcheng.
"Madam Gu, my maiden name is Yang, so you can just call me Madam Yang."
After the new neighbors moved in, the old lady in charge began to visit them with the yellow rice cakes she made.
Gu Qingcheng’s family is the first one.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at the old woman who called herself Madam Yang. She looked to be in her forties, not tall and not fat.
His clothes were washed clean and he looked neat and tidy.
The old lady's eyes showed the traces of time, but she did not have too many hardships in life.
She has a very straight look in her eyes, so her character should be good too!
besides--
Gu Qingcheng's eyes flickered slightly, and she silently kept her guess in mind.
When facing Madam Yang, Gu Qingcheng was still as weak and soft-hearted as always.
In just a few words, he told Madam Yang all about his family's assets.
Madam Yang: ...This guy is really as good as the legend says.
If she trusted others so easily, and didn't have a strong mother's family and a reliable son, she would have been schemed against to the point of being wiped out.
Complaining in her heart, Madam Yang appropriately introduced her family's situation.
Her old man's surname was Huo. When he was thirteen or fourteen years old, his family suffered a disaster and he had no way to make a living, so he joined the army.
After more than 20 years of marching and fighting, he had not achieved any achievements.
He had no official position or wealth, and was plagued by illnesses.
Fortunately, I managed to save some money, otherwise, I wouldn’t even have enough money to go back home or buy a property.
Old Man Huo has two sons, both of whom are married and have children.
The eldest son made a living by his martial arts and stayed in another place.
My youngest son runs a small business and it’s not convenient for him to come back.
The two sons were worried about their elderly parents, so they each gave birth to a son to accompany the old couple back to their hometown to show filial piety to their father.
"My Qilang is fourteen years old this year, and Shierlang is eleven years old, which is about the same age as your Dalang."
"However, my two grandsons are not good at studying."
"Alas, they're always wielding swords and guns, never stopping."
Madam Yang looked disgusted, but there was kindness in her eyes.
It was obvious that both grandsons were her dearest children.
"Martial arts are good, my Erlang also likes to practice martial arts!"
“My nephews and grandnephews from my mother’s side also learn along with me.
Gu Qingcheng looked innocent and followed Madam Yang's words, saying happily, "I specially hired a martial arts master, who is also a retired soldier."
"It's a pity that our Heyin County is so small that we don't even have a proper martial arts school."
Martial arts school?
A gleam of light flashed in Madam Yang's eyes.
This is a good livelihood.
…
Although there are new neighbors, the lives of Gu Qingcheng and her son are not affected.
In the autumn, Zhao Yuanyi got married.
Gu Qingcheng prepared a fairly generous dowry for her, and multiplied the money she earned from selling embroidery tenfold and gave it to her.
There are also some cloth and medicinal herbs.
Books handwritten by Zhao Qingyun.
...There were so many things that they filled up a whole wooden box.
When Zhao Yuanyi saw this dowry, which was definitely the largest in their Zhaojiazhuang, she burst into tears.
Her aunt really loves her deeply and is very kind to her.
In her heart, her aunt has long been a person who surpasses her biological parents.
Zhao Qingyun, the youngest scholar in the county, personally saw his cousin off, and the entire He family was very happy.
Originally, they were only interested in Zhao Yuanyi's embroidery skills and the relationship between Madam Gu and Mrs. Cui.
I never expected that Zhao Yuanyi's cousin would be so fierce.
The twelve-year-old scholar is definitely the incarnation of Wenquxing.
His future is limitless!
