The He family values Zhao Yuanyi, their daughter-in-law, very much.
Even after the county magistrate was promoted and Mrs. Cui left Heyin County, the He family did not treat Zhao Yuanyi differently.
They are more optimistic about Zhao Qingyun's future.
Yes, the magistrate was promoted.
In the final examination at the end of the year, the magistrate was indeed rated "excellent".
The Ministry of Personnel made arrangements and transferred him to be the magistrate of a wealthy Shang County in Zhejiang Province.
As the head of the household, Mrs. Cui had to follow.
In the spring of the following year, the magistrate and his family officially received the transfer order from the Ministry of Personnel and began to prepare to leave.
"Sister Gu, I really can't bear to leave you!"
Mrs. Cui held Gu Qingcheng's hand, her eyes full of reluctance.
Wow, I won’t be able to see such a beautiful lady anymore.
"Sister Cui, I can't bear to leave you either!"
Gu Qingcheng's words were not all just an act.
In the past three years, when Zhao Qingyun had not yet passed the imperial examination, it was all thanks to Mrs. Cui's protection that the three of them, mother and son, were able to live such a stable life.
And the pharmacy brings a generous and stable income to the family.
Mrs. Cui may have selfish motives, but so does Gu Qingcheng.
But interests aside, the friendship between the two women is real.
"I'll write to you when I get to Hangzhou!"
"Well, I will write to my sister too!"
"And that drugstore—"
Mrs. Cui looked at Gu Qingcheng's "stupid" big eyes and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
A new emperor appoints new ministers.
The most common thing in this world is that people leave and the tea gets cold.
Now that the magistrate has left Heyin County, Mrs. Cui's property here must also be dealt with.
The new county magistrate is about to arrive, and his daughter-in-law will also collect shares and open a shop like Mrs. Cui.
The ex should not be too greedy, and even more so, should not be tactless.
The pharmacy on East Street is the most profitable of Mrs. Cui's many businesses.
It can be called the hen that lays golden eggs.
Some people had been secretly jealous for a long time, but it was only because Mrs. Cui was powerful in Heyin County that no one dared to make any plans.
With Mrs. Cui gone, the pharmacy lost its support.
If the pharmacy was Mrs. Cui's own property, she could sell it easily.
Unfortunately, the pharmacy has a partner named Madam Gu.
Mrs. Cui also knew that her sister, an orphan and a widow, had no other way to make a living.
The mother and her two children, as well as several younger generations from her natal and in-laws' families, all depend on this shop for their livelihood.
Out of common sense, Mrs. Cui should persuade Gu Qingcheng to sell the shop.
It would be best if she waited until the new magistrate took office, and then she would find a way to find the wife of the county magistrate, give her half of the property as a share, and give her a big gift.
But when she thought of the Zhao family's situation, Mrs. Cui couldn't bear it.
The key point is that my sister is too naive. Even if I tell her, she may not understand.
After thinking it over, Mrs. Cui said to Gu Qingcheng, "That medicine shop was originally run with the help of my sister's secret recipe."
"I just own a shop and do a few jobs, which is already thanks to my sister."
"Now that I'm leaving, I'll leave the shop to my younger sister. Whether to sell it or give it away is entirely up to her."
Mrs. Cui directly gave the house deeds and land deeds to Gu Qingcheng.
“…Sister, you’re so nice!”
Gu Qingcheng did not refuse, but held Mrs. Cui's hand like a little child, crying.
The beauty is shedding tears, woooo, so beautiful!
Damn, I won't be able to see it anymore.
Moreover, would such a beauty attract the covetousness of evildoers or the jealousy of vicious women?
Mrs. Cui became increasingly worried when she thought of the new magistrate who had replaced her husband.
Not only did she give her her contact information, she also told her the name and address of her eldest brother from her mother's side.
If a disaster really happens in the future and the whole family is wiped out, there will be someone to ask for help and to appeal for justice.
besides--
Mrs. Cui gritted her teeth and couldn't help but leaned close to Gu Qingcheng's ear and whispered, "If you really have a hurdle that you can't get over, go find Mr. Zheng!"
That person's family is truly a noble and prominent family.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Mrs. Cui is indeed sincere to her.
"Thank you, sister!"
Silently remembering the favor, Gu Qingcheng wiped her tears and sent Mrs. Cui away.
The magistrate left and a new one took office.
As a newly appointed official, the magistrate, after becoming familiar with the affairs of the yamen, called Zhao Qingyun, the youngest student in the county school.
The new magistrate was in his forties, thin and pale, and looked very elegant.
It is said that he was a newly-appointed Jinshi in the previous session, and he passed the exam when he was in his thirties.
After working as a minor clerk in the Ministry of Rites in the capital for three years, he finally managed to get the actual position of county magistrate.
This man, like the previous county magistrate, came from a poor family and changed his fate through hard work.
However, he was not lucky enough to be appointed as county magistrate.
The former county magistrate relied on his good looks to marry Mrs. Cui, a daughter of an official family, and was able to rise steadily with the help of his wife's family.
As for the current one, he has an average appearance and is a bit aloof.
The key point is that he was too old when he passed the imperial examination.
Those people who are looking for a son-in-law based on the list are not blind or stupid.
Considering his age, it would be an understatement to say that he is already married. He probably even has grandchildren.
In fact, the new magistrate did have a grandson, and his wife was his uncle's cousin.
Because of their double marriages, it was impossible for him to divorce his wife.
Unable to curry favor with the powerful, the new magistrate could only wait and endure.
Fortunately, although my uncle's family is not from a high-class family, they are very wealthy.
With the money given by his uncle, the new magistrate knocked on the door of an official in the Ministry of Personnel and then came to Heyin County.
