"Hey, all I can say is that Gu Xiucai's family pinched their noses and admitted it. They just felt sorry for Yingxue. I'm afraid the rest of their lives will be ruined."
"This girl Yingxue is a well-known beauty from all over the country. At that time, people who wanted to marry her were almost over the threshold, but she fell in love with the poor Lin family boy."
"This boy from the Lin family is not afraid of thunder and lightning for doing such a conscienceless thing. If Gu Xiucai hadn't enlightened him back then and provided him with money and effort to study, would he have become the number one scholar?"
"As soon as he became the top scholar, he brought back a woman. I think that woman is very elegant. I heard that woman had already told her that she was Lin Zhixue's real wife, and Gu Yingxue was his concubine! Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"I heard that that woman is the daughter-in-law of some Hou family. Oh my God! I have seen such beautiful clothes in my life. You don't know that I saw that woman from a distance yesterday. Oh my God! Her head is covered with gold. She is also wearing a jade bracelet on her wrist! I heard that her clothes are all embroidered with gold thread!"
A woman proudly showed off that she had met Lin Zhixue, who had just returned to the village, and Luo Jiaojiao, who he had brought back yesterday, as if seeing Luo Jiaojiao was a very honorable thing.
Hiss~
Her words made the surrounding villagers gasp.
"Gold makes clothes! Oh my god! Are the nobles in the capital so rich?!"
"I also heard that the nobles in the capital eat white steamed buns every meal. They can eat three meals a day!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if I were a boy from the Lin family, I would also marry a nobleman from the capital and have three meals a day!"
“Think about how much food our family needs to have three meals a day!”
"Most people in our village have one meal at noon. Even if they have two meals a day, they dare to eat more at noon."
"He had white steamed buns to eat, and he didn't take the Gu family with him! Gu Xiucai raised that boy from the Lin family as his son!"
One villager was very aggrieved, his face full of jealousy that Lin Zhixue could eat three meals a day.
"The Gu family can bear this breath. After all, the Lin family's imperial examination path was paved with real money from the Gu family."
"What can I do if I can't bear it? Then the prince's house will let his daughter become a concubine? The number one scholar will definitely divorce his wife and marry another one!"
"The Gu family is really unlucky. The big melons they grew were picked by others just before they were ready!"
A woman with pudding all over her body and a yellow and skinny face said happily while coaxing the child in her arms.
"The Lin family's guards are guarding it, and we can't get close, otherwise we really want to see what kind of situation Yingxue is in."
"What woman can bear that her husband-in-law, who was named on the gold medal list, loves someone else? Besides, this husband-in-law's number one scholar was provided by her own family. She will probably burst into tears!"
"But speaking of which, Lin Zhixue is so lucky that he is attracted by the Marquis's daughter!"
"Humph, it's not just because of that good-looking face! Today's women are really superficial. What's the use of a good-looking man? If you have an embroidered pillow, you don't know if it will work on the kang!"
"Hey, Gu Xiucai's family has recruited a wolf from the mountains. I think that woman has come with bad intentions. I'm afraid Yingxue will be unlucky!"
…
Lin Zhixue glanced at Gu Yingxue with some guilt. Without the help of his wife and the Yue family, he would not be as successful as he is today.
But he had finally coaxed Luo Jiaojiao into not marrying her unless he was the one who wanted her. Today, he could only wrong Yingxue, but he would make up for her in the future.
The legitimate daughter of the Hou family actually fell in love with him at first sight. This was something he had never imagined!
In addition, Jiaojiao is indeed cute and cute, more lively and cheerful than Yingxue, and has an extremely cheerful and straightforward temperament, so he is really attracted to her.
The most important thing is that if he wants to stay in the capital and serve as an official, he must marry her!
Therefore, when he saw the light shining out of Luo Jiaojiao's eyes when she saw him for the first time, he seized this opportunity by mistake.
A young girl who had not yet left the court was still easy to coax, and soon Luo Jiaojiao had to marry him.
Alas, Yingxue had no choice but to go to the capital as a concubine. The Hou Mansion would never allow his daughter to be a concubine, not even a common wife. Yingxue was of low origin, so being able to go to the capital to be his concubine was actually a gain. Understand.
"Yingxue's mother told me yesterday about your unfilial behavior towards her during the three months when I went to the capital to take the exam."
"Although I was furious, I still remembered our past friendship and didn't give you a letter of divorce. Demoting you to a concubine is the best result I have tried my best to get for you from my mother. Don't mess around! "
Lin Zhixue said harshly to Gu Yingxue, looking at Gu Yingxue's beautiful face like a flower.
Lin Zhixue couldn't bear it. He knew very well that being unfilial to his mother-in-law was just an excuse made up by him and his mother.
Standing next to him was a girl wearing a pink four-in-one Ruyi cloud pattern woven gold skirt, a light green palace ribbon tied with a Ruyi knot jade pendant, and a red gold walking stick with rubies embedded in her temples, with a domineering face.
This person was Luo Jiaojiao, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yangcheng, and she was staring fiercely at Gu Yingxue.
This untouchable was actually so beautiful. Not only did Jingchai's sarong not cover up her appearance, it actually made her as pure as a narcissus, aloof from everyone else!
There were so many people in the yard, but she was so conspicuous that people couldn't help but want to take a second look!
No wonder Lin Lang insisted on coming back to pick her up!
She originally wanted Lin Zhixue to divorce his wife, but later, under Lin Zhixue's coaxing, she was reluctant to accept Gu Yingxue as a concubine.
But now that she saw Gu Yingxue in person, she regretted it again. She would never allow her husband to have such a beautiful concubine by his side!
Although her husband said that he came back this time to pick up his mother-in-law from Beijing, she always felt that Lin Lang came back this time just to pick up this woman!
Luo Jiaojiao looked at Gu Yingxue angrily, she must not stay! Not even if you are a concubine!
After hearing Lin Zhixue's words, Gu Yingxue stared at Lin Zhixue for a long time in astonishment, and then stared at the distinguished woman beside him for a while.
When Luo Jiaojiao couldn't help but look angry, Gu Yingxue suddenly stood up with a sneer, straightened her clothes, patted the dust on her body, and looked at Lin Zhixue with a sarcastic face.
As the youngest daughter of a scholar's family, although her family was not very wealthy, she had never been wronged. She was pampered by her parents and elder brother since she was a child, and she did not have the temperament to swallow it all.
In addition, she has been studying and practicing calligraphy with her father and brother since she was a child, which makes her not only extremely intelligent, but also somewhat proud of a scholar.
Now she understands that the husband who was sworn to her in the past has been dazzled by the wealth in the capital and has lost his conscience. If she asks him again, she will only bring humiliation to herself!
Gu Yingxue wiped away her tears and said with a sneer:
"Lin Zhixue, your mother drove me back to my parents' home since you left for the capital in order to save food."
"She told me personally that I should try my best to live in my parents' house, eat my parents' money and drink my parents' money, and save money so that I can save it for you to study in the future."
"These are your mother's exact words, but now she wants to demote me as a concubine because I live in my parents' house and don't go home to honor her! Don't you think it's ridiculous?!"
After Gu Yingxue finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Zhang with a sharp look. Mrs. Zhang lowered her head guiltily when she met her daughter-in-law's gaze.
In fact, her daughter-in-law is very kind to her. Even if she lives in her parents' house and has delicious food, she will not forget to honor her.
She was once very proud that she could have a talented daughter as her daughter-in-law.
But doesn’t his son have a better way out now?
As a mother, she naturally has to pave the way for her son!
Any other method of demoting a wife into a concubine would not be good for the son's reputation. Only this reason for disrespecting the mother-in-law is the most tenable.
After all, she lives behind closed doors. She says that her daughter-in-law doesn't respect her, and others have nothing to say.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Luo Jiaojiao again, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
In the past, she thought that her son's ability to marry a daughter of a scholar's family was a sign of smoke rising from the ancestral graves. Now she found out that her son could actually marry a prince's daughter and become a relative of the emperor!
To be honest, she felt like she was dreaming from yesterday to today!
"You disrespectful and shameless bitch, when my son is not at home, you hide back at your parents' house and ignore me, an old woman!"
"It's pitiful that I have to go to Gu's house many times to beg you to come home because of my age. You ignored me and left me with no one to take care of me while I was sick. Fortunately, my son came home, otherwise I would have died of illness at home! Oops! I'm so pitiful, old woman. !”
Mrs. Zhang pointed at Gu Yingxue's nose and told lies with her eyes open. She pretended to wipe her non-existent tears with a handkerchief and howled loudly, looking exactly like a lonely old man who had been tortured by her daughter-in-law.
After hearing what Mrs. Zhang said, Gu Yingxue's eyes flashed with sadness.
She has always respected this mother-in-law very much and almost obeyed her words.
Now she is not only trying to keep herself humble to please the daughter of the marquis of the capital, but she even confuses right and wrong and says that she is unfilial to her!
Gu Yingxue looked at Mrs. Zhang's acting with a mocking look on her face:
"Okay! Stop howling. You're old enough to tell lies like this and you're not afraid of being struck by lightning!
"You go to my parents' house obviously to enjoy the autumn breeze. Every time you go there, you take some food with you. You also persuade me to stay at my parents' house and spend more time with my mother! You are afraid that I will eat more food from the Lin family when I come back! Now you actually decide to go to my parents' house to enjoy the autumn breeze. You say you’re begging me to go home!”
Mrs. Zhang was choked up in her heart after hearing Gu Yingxue's words. This little prostitute usually treated her with a low eyebrow and a submissive attitude, like a clay figure, but now she has become sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued!
