Chapter 161 The male protagonist’s best relative (48)

The He family attaches great importance to Zhao Yuanyi, their daughter-in-law.

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 county magistrate has been promoted.

In the big exam at the end of the year, the county magistrate really got an "excellent" rating.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs made arrangements and transferred him to a wealthy Shang County in Zhezhou to be the magistrate.

As a family member, Mrs. Cui must of course follow.

In the spring of the following year, after officially receiving the transfer order from the Ministry of Officials, the magistrate and his family began to prepare to leave.

"Sister Gu, I really can't let you go!"

Mrs. Cui held Gu Qingcheng's hand, her eyes full of reluctance.

Wow, such a beautiful beauty will never be seen again.

"Sister Cui, I can't bear to leave you either!"

Gu Qingcheng's words were not all staged.

In the past three years, when Zhao Qingyun had not yet obtained any academic qualifications, it was only because of Mrs. Cui's protection that the three of them, mother and son, could live such a stable life.

And the drug store brings a rich and stable income to the family.

Mrs. Cui may have selfish motives, but so does Gu Qingcheng.

But benefits are benefits, and the friendship between the two women is also real.

"I will write to you when I go to Hang County!"

"Well, I will also write to my sister!"

"And that drug store—"

Mrs. Cui looked at Gu Qingcheng's "stupid" big eyes, rushed to the tip of her mouth, and swallowed it again.

One emperor and one courtier.

In this world, the most common thing is for people to take tea to cool down.

The magistrate has left Heyin County, so the property purchased by Mrs. Cui here must also be dealt with.

The new county magistrate is coming soon, and his female family members will also collect their shares and open a shop like Mrs. Cui.

Your ex cannot be too greedy, let alone be ignorant.

The drug store on East Street is the most profitable of Mrs. Cui's many businesses.

It can be called a hen that lays golden eggs.

Some people have long been secretly jealous, that is, Mrs. Cui is powerful in Heyin County, so no one dares to make any plans.

Once Mrs. Cui leaves, the drug store will have no backer.

If the drug store was Mrs. Cui's own property, she could sell it off easily.

It just so happens that the drug store also has Madam Gu as a partner.

Mrs. Cui also knew that her sister, an orphan and a widower, had no other way of earning a living.

The three children, mother and son, as well as several descendants from my mother's family and husband's family, all rely on this shop to support themselves.

Out of rationality, Mrs. Cui should persuade Gu Qingcheng to sell the shop.

It would be best if she waits until the new magistrate takes office, then finds a way to find the county's wife, divides half of it as dry stock, and gives him a big gift.

But when she thought of the Zhao family's situation, Mrs. Cui couldn't bear it.

The key is that I am a very naive girl. Even if I say it, she may not understand it.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Cui said to Gu Qingcheng, "That pharmacy was originally built with my sister's secret recipe."

"I just opened a shop and a few jobs, and I have already benefited from my sister."

"Now that I'm leaving, that shop will be left to my sister. Whether to sell it or give it away is entirely up to my sister."

Mrs. Cui directly gave the property and title deeds to Gu Qingcheng.

"...Sister, you are so kind!"

Gu Qingcheng did not refuse, but like a child, she held Mrs. Cui's hand and shed tears.

The beauty shed tears, oooh, so beautiful!

What a shame, I won’t be able to see it anymore.

And will such a beauty attract the covetousness of evildoers? The jealousy of poisonous women?

Thinking of the new magistrate who succeeded her husband, Mrs. Cui became increasingly uneasy.

Not only did she give her her contact information, she also told her her eldest brother's name and address.

In the future, if there is a real disaster that annihilates the family, there will be someone to turn to for help and to complain about injustice.

besides--

Gritting her teeth, Mrs. Cui couldn't hold it back. She leaned into Gu Qingcheng's ear and whispered, "If there is really something difficult to overcome, go find Mr. Zheng!"

That person's family is truly a high-class one.

Gu Qingcheng: ...This Mrs. Cui is indeed sincere to her.

"Sister, thank you!"

Silently writing down his kindness, Gu Qingcheng wiped his tears and sent Mrs. Cui away.

The magistrate has left, and a new magistrate has arrived.

As the newly appointed parent official, the county magistrate found Zhao Qingyun, the youngest junior student in the county school, after he became familiar with the affairs of the yamen.

Xinzhixian is in his forties, fair and thin, and looks very elegant.

It is said that he was a new Jinshi in the previous class and passed the exam when he was in his thirties.

After working as a minor official in the Ministry of Rites in the capital for three years, I finally found a job as a county magistrate.

Like the previous magistrate, this man came from a poor family and changed his destiny through hard study.

However, he did not have the good luck to take office as county magistrate.

When he was appointed county magistrate, he was able to surpass Mrs. Cui, a lady from the official family, because of his good looks. He relied on the care of his in-laws to be promoted steadily.

As for the current one, he has average appearance and is a bit aloof.

The key is that he was too old when he passed the Jinshi examination.

Those people who want to catch their son-in-law are not blind or stupid.

Looking at his age, it would be an understatement to say he is already married. He probably even has grandchildren.

In fact, they all have grandchildren in Xinzhi County, and his wife is a cousin of his uncle's family.

With a double marriage, it is impossible for him to divorce his wife who is a spoiled brat.

If you can't climb the high gate, Xinzhi County can only wait and endure.

Fortunately, although my uncle's family is not well-off, they are very well-off.

With the money given by his uncle, Xinzhi County knocked on the door of an official from the Ministry of Personnel and then came to Heyin County.

Xinzhi County is grateful to his uncle and respects his cousin and wife very much.

However, this does not affect the fact that he has Aunt Xue who is extremely favored by his side.

"...Aunt Xue is taking care of the middle minister of the county family."

Wan Niangzi rarely went to Zhao's house to gossip with Gu Qingcheng about the story of the back house in Xinzhi County.

There was obvious disdain in her tone.

Lady Wan is the principal wife, so she naturally looks down on the concubines and aunts.

Moreover, Mrs. Wan's husband's family is a real scholarly family, and they are very strict about rules.

In any house that follows some rules, it is impossible for a concubine to be in charge of the backyard.

Even if the first wife comes from a humble background and doesn't understand social interactions outside, she can still learn.

What does it mean to have a concubine in charge of your house?

"Yesterday, Aunt Xue sent her mother-in-law to give me an invitation, saying that a crabapple flower in the backyard of the county government office had bloomed, and she invited me to enjoy the flowers."

Lady Wan curled her lips, "I kicked them out directly!"
