"A-Niang, I'll go back to the old mansion and ask first."

Zhao Qingyun said softly.

As for the patriarch, he also needs to be made to see the "value".

Now Zhao Qingyun is still guarding filial piety and cannot participate in the imperial examination, just a prodigy with talent for reading.

Patriarch Zhao does value him, but it is also limited.

At least, he Zhao Qingyun is not attractive enough for the clansmen to rush to cling to him and send the child to him for a good future.

Fortunately, A-Niang was crooked, not only got acquainted with Mrs. Cui, but also had a relationship with the embroidery girl of the neighbor on the west side.

However, you can take advantage of this first, let the people in the old house take the initiative to cling, and restrain themselves.

The people in the old mansion are indeed superb, Zhao Qingyun disgusted it from the bottom of his heart.

Especially in the days when his father just passed away, from Zhao Dashan to several uncles, he almost had to write the word greed on his face.

They only treat their family as fat sheep, not as relatives.

Zhao Qingyun hated that he couldn't directly cut off all contact with the Zhao family.

But, no!

In ancient times, clans lived together, and the power of clans was very strong.

And Zhao Qingyun is destined to rise to a higher position.

You can't do it alone.

Even if Zhao Qingyun's ability is high enough and his wrist is strong enough, he doesn't need anyone's help.

He can't do it all.

There are some trivial matters that still need someone to run errands.

Yes, Zhao Qingyun can cultivate by himself, and he can also spend money to buy and hire people.

But these people, after all, are not as reassuring as the people of the same origin.

The key is fame!

Even the clansmen don't want to get close, and outsiders won't think that the clansmen have bullied you and failed you first.

They will only feel that you are too lonely and too cold, and you will not even take care of your blood relatives.

No one likes to deal with people who are too lonely and too cold.

Even Zhao Qingyun himself is willing to associate with people who are affectionate and righteous!

Fortunately, Zhao Qingyun did not completely turn his face with the Zhao clan at the beginning, and they could still become a family that "loved each other".

Of course, it seems that Zhao Dashan, Zhao Da, Zhao Er and other older generations have a stereotyped personality, and it is basically impossible to correct it.

However, he can train the third generation, or even the fourth generation.

Moreover, this next generation can not only become Zhao Qingyun's helper, but also his "hostage" to contain the old mansion and the clansmen.

Zhao Da, Zhao Er, Zhao Si, etc., no matter how stupid, bad, and short-sighted they are, they also hope that their children and grandchildren will be promising.

They can bully and calculate their own nephews who are related by blood, but they will not spoil the future of their own flesh and blood.

…… A-Niang made a decision because she couldn't work and wanted to be lazy, but it could bring many unexpected "surprises" to Zhao Qingyun.

In the past, Zhao Qingyun was still young, smart and smart, but his thoughts were limited.

became the pillar of the pillar, and when he came to the county seat, Zhao Qingyun was like a young dragon entering the sea, and there was plenty of room for growth.

His heart and ability have also been improved in the shortest possible time!

Zhao Qingyun himself is only a nine-year-old "Mengtong", but he is already laying the foundation for entering the court and becoming an official in the future.

The mother's "crooked hit" again directly reminded Zhao Qingyun.

Zhao Qingyun: ...... Therefore, my aunt, although she is always crying and chirping, sick and crooked, she also makes a little foolish from time to time.

But it really doesn't hurt.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Gu Tingcheng made an unassertive appearance of listening to his son in everything.

Zhao Qingyun did not feel bored, but was very relieved.

……

"What? The third brother and sister found an embroidery girl for the eldest girl, and asked her to learn the craft with her? ”

After listening to Zhao Qingyun's words, Zhao's daughter-in-law was full of surprise and excitement.

Although she is a peasant woman with little knowledge, she also knows the importance of having a craft.

Men have crafts, such as Zhao Guodong, who can support their families and pass them on to their children and grandchildren;

When a woman has a craft, it is an invisible dowry, and when she talks about family affairs, she can be more confident.

The eldest girl was about to say goodbye, and Zhao's daughter-in-law had already released a rumor, saying that her daughter was learning skills in the county.

Ahem, this must be Zhao's daughter-in-law bragging and putting gold on her and her daughter's faces.

But outsiders don't know.

The matchmakers from Zhaojiazhuang and several surrounding villages came to visit, and Zhao's daughter-in-law chatted with them carefully, and found that several of the candidates mentioned by the matchmaker were very good.

There are definitely no rich and noble ones, but those are much stronger than the Zhao family's old mansion.

If it is left in the past, people will definitely look down on Zhao Daya.

But it's different if you've been to the county, Zhao Daya is not an uninformed village girl, she learned skills in the county.

Those few families invited matchmakers to test it.

Zhao's daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed, and she couldn't tell what her daughter had learned.

Well, now, the big girl is really learning the craft, or embroidery!

Tsk, the embroidery is good.

A widow from the next village raised three children by relying on her embroidery work, and she also provided a showman.

Thinking of the successful cases and the matchmakers who rushed to tempt, Zhao's daughter-in-law was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth.

She is already shrewd, and when it comes to the critical moment when it comes to her own interests, she becomes extremely transparent.

After being happy, she realized a problem: the eldest girl went to the county to work for the Gu family.

She went to learn embroidery, who will serve Gu?

Zhao's daughter-in-law has heard that the embroiderer's hands are the most precious, and she can't do rough work, otherwise her hands are thick, and she won't be able to embroider fine patterns.

And if you can't embroider fine patterns, you can't make a lot of money!

Zhao Qingyun had just gone to the county seat, and when he heard that he was studying in the academy, he ran back suddenly.

He didn't just come to "report the good news", but to remind the people in the old house: The big girl went to learn the craft, and there was no one in our family who worked!

Zhao's daughter-in-law's heart was pounding.

Opportunity!

Here's your chance!

Zhao's daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "Oh, the eldest girl went to learn the craft, wouldn't there be no one to do the work at home?" ”

"The third brother and sister are weak, so they can't work too hard!"

"Well, I'll help my siblings. There's not much work in the fields right now—"

She went to serve the Gu family, and she must have coaxed the Gu family to be comfortable.

Then, I learned a craft by the way.

With the craft, whether it is to teach it to children or secretly tell it to your mother's family, it is excellent!

Zhao's daughter-in-law's brain turned quickly, and she had already weighed the pros and cons clearly.

She is extremely active, as if going to the county to take care of her sick younger siblings is her sister-in-law's unshirkable responsibility.

Well, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother!

The third uncle is gone, leaving only orphans and widows, and she, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the top family, should help take care of one or two.

Not only can you get benefits, but you can also get a good reputation.

Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law's abacus beads flicked directly on the faces of Zhao's second daughter-in-law and Zhao's fourth daughter-in-law.

Zhao's second daughter-in-law reacted slowly, but when she saw that her sister-in-law, who had always been shrewd, was willing to run away to make a cow and a horse for the Gu family, she knew that there must be something good in it.

When she thought about it again, she understood.

Wow!

is a good old family, one of his daughters has already received benefits, and he still wants to take more and occupy more?

Too fine, too greedy!

Zhao's second daughter-in-law also has a daughter, who is twelve years old this year.

is at an age where you can work, but you don't have to maintain it for "getting married".

Zhao's second daughter-in-law gave almost half of the work she had on hand to her daughter.

Therefore, when the first three heads of the house selected candidates to go to the county, Zhao's second daughter-in-law only thought of her son, and did not think of her daughter at all, but stuffed her eldest son's dog balls.

But now, the eldest girl has gone to learn the craft, and there is a shortage of people around the Gu family.

You can stuff your own girl over!

I didn't see the old people licking their faces, using the "eldest sister-in-law" as a guise, desperately grabbing Gu's side.

The eldest girl can learn embroidery, and so can her second girl!

Moreover, Zhao's second daughter-in-law has higher "ambitions".

Erya went to the county, maybe there was a chance to stay there.

Directly find an uncle in the county, which is both decent and affordable, and their entire second room will be stained!

The more Zhao's second daughter-in-law thought about it, the more excited she became, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, you are the eldest sister-in-law, and your status is higher than that of the third brother and sister." ”

"If you go to take care of her, reasonable people will say that you have the style of an eldest sister-in-law, and you are taking pity on your widowed younger siblings."

"But if people who don't know what is going on listen to it, they will say that the third brother and sister don't know how to be humble and unruly, and they dare to work hard to serve the eldest sister-in-law."

“…… We feel sorry for our third brother and sister, and we should take care of her reputation. Let's let my second girl go. ”

As soon as Zhao's second daughter-in-law's words were finished, Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law's eyes stood up-

It's a second family, and I've already gone to a dog, and I still want to get my daughter too?

Zhao's fourth daughter-in-law: ...... Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, don't laugh at anyone!

Half a catty and eight taels, the same color.

In the first round, these two rooms were all out, and they didn't occupy a place in the four rooms because of the small children.

Now that there is a vacancy, the second round of selection is going to be carried out, and these two rooms still want to eat more and occupy more!

Why?

No way!

The more Zhao Si's daughter-in-law thought about it, the more angry she became, and shouted directly, "Second sister-in-law, the second girl is still young, how much work can she do?" ”

"Sister-in-law, don't go, it's a different identity!"

"I don't want it, I'm the little daughter-in-law, the younger sister of the third sister-in-law, I should take care of her."

Zhao's daughter-in-law: ......

Zhao's second daughter-in-law: ......

The two couldn't care about tearing each other, and Qi Qi pointed the finger at the fourth daughter-in-law.

The three daughters-in-law quarreled together, and they didn't see the appearance of them uniting and calculating the Gu family in the past.

Zhao Qingyun looked at it coldly and understood the word "interests" more profoundly.

Zhao Dashan and Mrs. Zhao were ashamed and anxious: these three are really embarrassing.

On weekdays, they don't care so much about serving their in-laws, and they actually want to serve their younger siblings (sisters-in-law)!

However, the two old ones sadly realized that they could no longer control their daughters-in-law.

Didn't I see my three sons also following behind my daughter-in-law, desperately waving their flags and shouting.

"It's messy! It's all messed up! ”

Zhao Dashan was so angry that he knocked the smoke pot clattering, but he couldn't stop this farce.

"Ahem!"

Zhao Qingyun coughed lightly, but easily interrupted everyone.

Zhao Da, Zhao Er, and Zhao Sisan, a couple, changed their faces in an instant, and they lost the madness when they competed with their brothers and concubines, and smiled at Zhao Qingyun like chrysanthemums.

Zhao Dashan: ......

This home seems to be about to change!

PS: The ancient clans were very powerful and terrifying, and they really ate people! But it is also a double-edged sword, if you operate it well, it will become the most secure and powerful help! People in later generations can't imagine and can't understand that Gu Qingcheng is an ancient, she won't just want to get rid of the best in-laws like the heroine, but try her best to collect and use it!
