Zhou felt that Yao had no brains in ancient times. Could it be that the relationship between her and the Duke of Qiyang was very good? They were already on the verge of becoming enemies when they broke off the engagement. Even though Gu Shichu married Ming Xun and barely maintained the relationship between the two houses, this did not mean that the Duke of Qiyang's house would welcome Gu Shiyao.
"Don't I believe that Ming Xun, a playboy, will discover any new grains? What if he takes the credit from others?" Gu Shi Yao said forcefully.
Of course she hoped that Mingxun had taken the credit of others, but Zhou didn't take it for granted like she did. Zhou said to her a little irritably: "Would the emperor not send someone to investigate whether Mingxun had taken the credit of others? Since Your Majesty believes that Ming Xun discovered it, which means there is no problem. Where do you get the confidence to think that your judgment is more credible than the results of His Majesty's investigation?"
Gu Shi Yao was speechless. She couldn't say it was Ming Xun who had accomplished nothing in her previous life that gave her the confidence, right? Mingxun never discovered any new grains in his previous life, so why did he discover them in this life?
When Gu Shiyao first heard the news, she was simply dumbfounded. She didn't understand why Mingxun was so lucky in this life. Why couldn't he enjoy his luck, but let Gu Shichu enjoy it?
She was extremely tormented by this. All her life, she had always wanted to step on Mingxun and Gu Shichu and admire their desolate appearance. However, it was impossible now. Even though Mingxun was still a dandy, he was no longer an ordinary dandy. Just because of the new grain, he and his descendants can enjoy peace of mind.
When Gu Shi Yao thought about this possibility, she felt extremely uncomfortable. How could someone she hated live a better life than herself? She wants to be superior, but unfortunately her husband is only a sixth-grade official. It will take more than ten or twenty years until he becomes prime minister, so long...
"What are you thinking about? You are out of your mind." Mrs. Zhou was startled when she saw Gu Shiyao's lifeless look, and asked quickly. Although she was very annoyed by this daughter, she still didn't miss her. Something happened.
"It's nothing..." Gu Shiyao shook her head. She suddenly grabbed Zhou's arm, stared at Zhou tightly, and said, "Mom, do I have to be under Gu Shichu from now on? Will she step on my head for the rest of her life?"
When Mrs. Zhou heard what she said, she was stunned. Seeing her daughter's expression as if she was in a daze, she felt sad. She comforted her daughter sadly: "Yao'er, you don't need to pay too much attention to some things. Even in ancient times, So what if she is the Crown Prince's wife? Your father is still An Guogong, and you don't need to rely on her to live. Just avoid her in the future. There is no need to care too much..."
Gu Shiyao suddenly burst into tears and said sadly: "Mom, you didn't deny it, so now the situation has changed, leaving her to look down on me..."
Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "Yao'er, you don't need to compare with her. Isn't my son-in-law very motivated? Your father said that he is talented and will definitely become the mainstay of the court in the future. As his wife, you will definitely be a good husband as well." In ancient times, a wife was just a noble person. In ancient times, it was just a false name. If you don't make progress, what does it mean to have a good name?"
"No, with the credit for discovering new grains, no one will dare to look down on Mingxun even if he never makes progress in his life..." Gu Shiyao said in despair.
When Zhou saw her half-dead look, she immediately became angry and said, "So what? Do you regret doing such a scandal and breaking off the engagement with Ming Xun? But now it's too late to regret it. You are still married to Tang Buqing, Ming Xun." Xun is also married to Gu Shichu, and it is impossible for you to have any other relationship... If you didn't make your own decisions at the beginning, you would be the one to benefit now, but it's a pity that you don't have such luck!"
Zhou's words suddenly struck Gu Shiyao's heart like a knife, causing her face to turn pale instantly.
She couldn't tell whether she regretted it or not. She thought everything would go well after marrying Tang Buqing, and she just had to wait to become the prime minister's wife. But she never expected that Tang Buqing would hate her, and that Tang's mother would punish her severely, making her life miserable. It's not as beautiful as I thought before getting married.
As for Ming Xun, whom she gave up early, she thought that the Qiyang Marquis Mansion would slowly decline like in her previous life, but now it has become the Duke of Qiyang's Mansion. Mrs. Duke of Qiyang is a generous and tolerant mother-in-law, and she never talks about it. The daughter-in-law didn't even bother to pay attention to her. In her previous life, she thought Mrs. Ming was so cold to her because she didn't like her daughter-in-law. But now that she has experienced a mother-in-law like Mrs. Tang, she knows how valuable Mrs. Ming is as a mother-in-law.
The reason why she chose to give up Ming Xun without hesitation after she was reborn was because she didn't want to marry the Qiyang Hou Mansion, which was destined to decline. But now this only shortcoming is gone. Instead, the Tang family has a future prime minister's wife to hang on to. She has shortcomings in all other aspects. Gu Shiyao has actually begun to regret it, but she cannot admit it. If she admits it, she will no longer be able to deceive herself and others.
Mingxun and Gu Shichu didn't know that Gu Shiyao would be greatly affected by the appearance of corn. They are doing well now, although there are always many people following them quietly after going out, just wanting to see what happens to them. What to do.
I heard that foreign merchants in the capital are very popular now. Their goods are no longer worried about being unsold. No matter what they sell, they will be robbed, especially merchants who bring some rare plants or seeds. They are almost enthusiastic. , the crazy customers drove them crazy, even crazy, they still made a lot of money, and they still wondered why so many rich fools in the capital were willing to spend a lot of money to buy useless things.
This was all a trend brought about by Ming Xun. Everyone knew that he got corn seeds from foreign merchants and discovered this new grain. So those who were ambitious or wanted to try their luck immediately targeted the foreign merchants. The things in their hands, thinking that maybe they themselves would be lucky enough to discover new grains, and then use this to honor their ancestors and spread their fame through the ages...
When Gu Shi first learned about this, he thought it was ridiculous. If new grain varieties were so easy to discover, then why was Ming Xun the only one to discover them after so long?
But everyone decided that this was a way to make a fortune and jumped on it.
Ming Xun looked at the people following his carriage, sighed and said to Gu Shichu: "Oh, I feel like I have become a monkey now. I am being stared at all day long, and I don't want to go out. "
"They are just busy for a while. After a while, you won't be so noticed." Gu Shichu said with a smile, "They probably still want to follow you to pick up the slack."
"Picking up leaks? I don't have this ability. They are overestimating me. The things I bought before are not necessarily of high value. I bought them as long as they suit my taste. These people will definitely be disappointed when they find out. Yes." Mingxun said.
