"Gu Niangzi, I came a month or two earlier than you, and I know more about the capital."

"And my son, who is young and popular, has made friends with several nobles."

Mrs. Zhao faced Gu Tingcheng and put on a posture of "senior", as if she had come a month or two earlier, and how much advantage she had.

Gu Qingcheng didn't care, blinked his big innocent eyes, and listened with interest.

And according to the content of Mrs. Zhao's words, make the most perfect response.

She is simply the best listener, which greatly satisfies Mrs. Zhao's vanity and makes her more and more prominent.

Gu Tingcheng's reaction also made Mrs. Zhao more and more sure of her initial guess: This Gu family is a fool.

"Gu Niangzi, let me tell you, in the capital, it may not be useful to be high."

"What kind of place is the capital? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, all the talented people in the world, everyone went to the capital. ”

"There are more than one or two prodigies who can recite at the age of three and poetry at the age of five—"

So, what's wrong with fifteen-year-olds?

Compared to those famous prodigies, it is nothing at all!

Mrs. Zhao's heart was sour, but she was desperately belittling in her mouth.

Gu Tingcheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes!" ”

Prodigies in ancient times were indeed not uncommon.

For example, she herself is a master who never forgets and can write with both hands.

There is also a good eldest child in this life, and he is also a rare genius boy.

Gu Tingcheng directly put the "prodigy" that Mrs. Zhao boasted of into himself and Zhao Qingyun, so he didn't feel offended.

Hehe, it's been praised!

"There are so many prodigies, but how many are truly famous all over the world and admired by thousands of people?"

"It's not important to be talented, the important thing is to intersect and be able to have the support of nobles!"

Mrs. Zhao turned her head around, and took out her son to show off, "It's like my family's San Lang, who successfully met Princess Changping's doorman." ”

"Gu Niangzi, do you know Princess Changping? That's the real golden branch and jade leaf, the beloved daughter of today's saints! ”

Gu Qingcheng shook his head first, saying that he was lonely and unheard of, and he had never heard of the name of Princess Changping.

Then his eyes widened, as if he was shocked by the words "the saint loves his daughter".

Oh my God, that's the Emperor's daughter.

If you love your daughter or not, let's not mention it for the time being, just the identity of the princess really makes ordinary people awe.

Gu Tingcheng's "praise" is quite in place, and Mrs. Zhao is even more energetic.

"A few days ago, Princess Changping held a chrysanthemum banquet, and my Saburo also went."

"Oh, the princess's mansion is called a golden and splendid, just like the fairy palace in the sky."

Mrs. Zhao was foaming at the mouth, and after drinking the water in the teacup in one gulp, she subconsciously shouted at the top of her voice, "Qian, don't you come to pour tea?" ”

"Hmph, in the end, it's a merchant girl, it's just no rules!"

Mrs. Zhao's scolding, which was already rigid and serious, became more and more bitter and mean.

As soon as her words fell, a woman with low eyebrows hurriedly ran over.

Gu Qingcheng looked at it secretly.

This should be the Qian family, the wife that Zhao Zhi married for the silver.

Since they are husband and wife, they should be the same age.

However, the Qian family looked even older, as if he was several years older than Zhao Zhi.

She looked stricken, her face was sad, and she was even more trembling in front of Mrs. Zhao.

When the tea was poured, Qian's hands were shaking.

The more fearful Qian is, the more likely he is to make mistakes.

With his hands shaking, some of the tea spilled out.

Mrs. Zhao's eyebrows immediately stood up, and she opened her mouth to scold: "You useless thing, you can't pour tea, my son married you, it's really moldy for eight lifetimes!" ”

Gu Qingcheng saw that Mrs. Zhao was starting to go crazy, and Qian's face was pale, so he was a little blind.

She continued to pretend to be innocent, "And then? ”

Mrs. Zhao wanted to continue to scold her daughter-in-law, but when she heard this sentence "Then what", she was directly stunned.

What then?

It took a long time for her to react: Oh, yes, I was showing off the feast of Princess Changping's family with the Gu family just now.

originally wanted to show her dignity as a mother-in-law in front of Gu's face, and then show her son's filial piety to herself - she beat and scolded the Qian family, but her son not only did not make decisions for the Qian family, but blamed her for not being filial enough!

This is the dignity and prestige that a widowed mother should have.

It's like the Gu family, who is obviously an elder, but he is locked up by his son every day.

Hmph, it's a piece of rubbish!

But as soon as the Gu family interrupted like this, Mrs. Zhao's "emotions" were interrupted.

She really couldn't continue to beat and scold her daughter-in-law.

waved his hand impatiently at Qian, "Why don't you go cook?" San Lang works so hard every day, as a wife, not to mention stewing some nourishing chicken soup for your husband, you are really an unvirtuous woman. ”

Qian opened his mouth and rubbed his hands unconsciously on his clothes.

She wanted to say: I want to buy chicken for stewed chicken soup, but my mother-in-law hasn't given her the money to buy vegetables.

Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to see it, and scolded even louder: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up! ”

The old lady just deliberately didn't give you the silver, hmph, you little prostitute, just I don't know, you still have some dowry hidden and haven't handed it over?

Qian was anxious and afraid, and finally succumbed to his mother-in-law's obscenity and silently withdrew.

There were only a few silver bracelets left on her body, and if she was forced to take them out, she really had nothing.

However, if you don't take it, you won't be able to boil chicken soup, and you will probably be beaten and scolded by your mother-in-law tonight.

Even two children will be punished with her!

Qian had tears in her eyes, she didn't know how she had fallen to this point.

Looking at Qian's slightly shaky back, Mrs. Zhao looked proud.

She also used this as an example to teach Gu Tingcheng her experience, "Gu Niangzi, let me tell you, you can't be polite to your daughter-in-law." ”

"Otherwise, she would dare to ride on the heads of us mothers-in-law to and pee."

The daughter-in-law of many years has become a mother-in-law.

How much did Mrs. Zhao suffer at the hands of her mother-in-law, she had to get it back from her daughter-in-law twice!

Gu Tingcheng: ...... No wonder Liu Niangzi doesn't want to see this, this person is really indescribable.

It is indeed not easy for a widow to pull out several children to grow up and provide for a lifter.

However, her difficulties are not caused by her daughter-in-law.

The Qian family is not a child daughter-in-law, and when they enter the door, they bring a rich dowry.

The Zhao family eats, lives and spends all the money of the Qian family, but they do not regard the Qian family as a family.

Oh no, it's just not to treat people as human beings.

Such a mother-in-law, such a husband, is really shameless.

Zhao Zhi, I guess that's it.

Poor character is never a big problem, what really hurts is still too "stupid".

ungrateful, abusing his wife, such a thing, even if he wins the jinshi, he will not go far in the officialdom.

"Gu Niangzi, I treat you as my own, so I will tell you these heart-wrenching words."

"We mothers-in-law, if we don't press these little sluts hard, they will dare to turn the sky upside down."

"By the way, just like the granddaughter of Zheng Ge's hometown, tsk, they are all married people, and they still live in their parents' house with their families."

"A woman's family, still with a big belly, actually showed her head."

"Princess Changping too, why do you look at such a person who doesn't abide by women's morals differently? I heard that they also opened a shop together! ”

Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, oh Huo, he is eating melons and eating acquaintances.

Zheng Wanjun, as the heroine, finally began to "show her talents".

Woe Shui nodded desperately in the depths of the sea of knowledge: ...... That's right, that's right, although it's a different man, the heroine still starts the open life of the farming heroine.

befriended the powerful, made glass, and planted out-of-season vegetables, which not only made money, but also ran many contacts.

"Forget it! Don't talk about her! ”

Mrs. Zhao said disdainfully, but there was envy in her eyes.

Her family Saburo is also a young man, why can't she marry a high-ranking lady like that Ji Shilang?

If the "in-laws" were powerful, her family Saburo would not have to work so hard to get a princess's doorman.

"I called you today, I have something good to tell you!"

Mrs. Zhao said a lot of miscellaneous things, and finally got to the point.

Gu Qingcheng showed a curious look at the right time, "Good thing? What's good? ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled mysteriously, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Didn't my eldest man get acquainted with Princess Changping's doorman, that Lang Jun said that he could get 'that'!" ”

Mrs. Zhao deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of "that".

"That? What is it? ”

Gu Qingcheng had a guess in his heart.

It is estimated that it will be the exam question for the spring of the next year.

"Oh, it's, it's—"

Mrs. Zhao blinked desperately.

She wanted to tell Gu Qingcheng directly, but she remembered her son's advice.

The matter of buying exam questions is very important and cannot be easily divulged.

But Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for the three hundred miles of silver.

She thought that the Gu family next door was a fool, just like she cheated some money from the Gu family first.

She deliberately showed off that her son knew the powerful just now, and mentioned that if she is talented, she may not be able to succeed, she is just paving the way.

"Gu Niangzi, let me ask you, what are you coming to the capital for?"

Gu Qingcheng was stunned and said, "Of course, I accompanied my son to take the Jinshi exam." ”

"But what does the entrance examination have to do with 'that'?"

Mrs. Zhao: ...... You're a fool!

I've hinted at it so obviously, you can't fucking guess it.

Since Gu is a fool, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to tell her directly.

Anyway, after today, Mrs. Zhao will not admit what she said.

"It's the exam question!"

"As long as eight hundred taels, you can buy it."

Although Mrs. Zhao is a peasant woman, she knows the truth of "asking for money on the spot".

She deliberately said very high, just to leave room for Gu Tingcheng to make a counteroffer.

Gu Tingcheng: ...... Oh, it's only October, and the main exam for next year's spring has not yet been decided, so you can buy exam questions?

Fool a fool!

"What do you do when you buy exam questions? My eldest is a genius! ”

Gu Qingcheng looked proud.

"Oh, what I just said was all for nothing?"

"Gu Niangzi, in the capital, there are too many talented people, but there are only so many Jinshi in each subject, and there are always people who fall off the list."

“…… But I—I don't have any money! ”

“……”
