Farming at the beginning, I rely on business to counterattack and become a princess

Chapter 61

In the dispute between Zhang Zhoushi and Wan'er, from the bright side, Zhang Zhoushi won: she persuaded Wan'er to obediently go to Changqing Temple to practice, so as to avoid the big house and continue to control Wan'er's marriage affairs. But he made certain concessions and agreed to give his daughter certain autonomy.

From a secret point of view, Zhang Wan'er did not lose: she knew long ago that she could not control the major matters of marriage, and now at least she has met her bottom line requirements and gained a certain right to choose.

Therefore, for Zhang Zhoushi and Zhang Wan'er, going to Changqing Temple to practice is actually a win-win move. Both parties have achieved certain goals, and the real loser is the big house of the Zhang family.

Although Zhang Wan'er has a rough personality, she is not stupid and sweet.

When she first heard the bad news, she couldn't help herself and became hysterical, but when she knew the ins and outs of the matter and realized that there was nothing she could do, she accepted it calmly, and used this excuse to win a small amount of voice for herself.

All in all, she is not at a loss, and it is others who should worry.

In fact, there are still people who are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

This is the wife of Gu Zhi County who is talking about it. She is fidgeting in the room at the moment, and even wants to lie on the window lattice and listen carefully: What is going on with Madam Tong Zhi?

As a qualified senior woman, it is instinctive to collect all kinds of gossip and gossip. If she were not concerned about her identity, she really wanted to go out and inquire about it herself, instead of sitting in the room and waiting for the servants to inquire about the news.

Finally, when Xiaohong, the eldest girl who was sent to serve Mrs. Tongzhi, came back, Gu Zhushi was very surprised when she heard the news that Zhang Waner was about to go to the Taoist temple to practice. .

She knows that officials and dignitaries love to practice, but isn't it a bit exaggerated to send their daughter to practice?Isn't it time to find a good husband's house for my daughter?What are you doing?Strange.

"Xiaohong, what else did you hear?"

"I just know this. Miss Wan'er objected fiercely at first, and then they entered the inner room, as if they were arguing about something, I couldn't hear clearly."

"And later?"

"Later, Miss Wan'er didn't respond much, and now they are packing up."

Gu Zhushi's heart was itchy as if being scratched by a cat, what was going on?How could a lively little girl like Wan'er be willing to go to a Taoist temple to practice?
"By the way, where are they going to practice?" Gu Zhushi asked again.

"I heard it's the Evergreen View."

"Evergreen Temple? The Evergreen Temple in our Chengnan County?"

"Yes, Mrs. Zhang went to Changqing Temple today, and when she came back, she said that she would send Miss Wan'er to practice."

So, I said, why did they stay in Chengnan County all this time? It turned out that they were going to practice in Changqing Temple!Thinking of this, Gu Zhushi couldn't sit still, and hurried to the front yard to find his master.

"Master, master, do you know? Mrs. Zhang is going to send her daughter to Changqing Temple to practice."

"Is there such a thing? It's so good, why should I send it to practice?"

"Oh, they didn't go to practice, they went to Tao Tao."

"Tao Taoist? Why are you looking for her?"

"My God!" Gu Zhushi was desperate for her man, so she had to say bluntly: "Tao Daoyu has a practice lecture hall in Changqingguan, which is specially for recruiting daughters of high-ranking officials and noble families. Zhang Wan'er must have gone to practice and learn from her. .”

"so what?"

It has to be said that Gu Yiling's sensitivity to information and political acumen is really too backward, not as good as Gu Zhou's a woman, no wonder she has always been a seventh-rank official.

"The Tao Taoist from Changqingguan came from the palace. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, court etiquette, and general affairs management. If our daughter can also learn from her, she will definitely be able to talk about a good marriage in the future."

At this point, Gu Yiling finally understood Gu Zhushi's thoughts, and he couldn't help sighing: "Madam, your thinking is too good, how can a family like us be able to get in touch with people in the palace!"

"Master, why don't you ask Mr. Tongzhi, after all, didn't we just accomplish a big event for Mr. Tongzhi, that sweet potato or something, maybe he can agree to bring us Yunxiu?"

"Impossible, as you said, Tao Daoist recruits high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and we are small families, how can others take notice of us."

From Gu Yiling's point of view, his daughter is mediocre, has great ambitions and talents, but also has an arrogant temperament and arrogance. She is absolutely not qualified to be a big wife of a big family.

That being the case, why bother asking her to squeeze the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, it would be better to find a well-matched family, and live a peaceful life is enough.

What's more, it is not worth the gain to ask a fellow confidant for the affairs of my daughter's family. The favor should be used for more important things, such as my own official career or the future of my son Gu Yuanzhi.

Hearing that Gu Yiling refused to intercede for his daughter, Gu Zhushi couldn't help but start talking nonsense: "Master, you always don't take Yunxiu seriously, we only have such a daughter, why can't we find a daughter for her?" Is it a good place to go?"

"Madam, is it appropriate for you to say this?" Gu Yiling was also angry: "Yunxiu is our daughter, so I naturally care and love her, but Yuanzhi is also our son, don't forget your duty as a mother .”

Hearing Gu Yiling mentioning Yuanzhi, Gu Zhushi tightly pressed his lips together and said nothing.

Seeing his wife was silent, Gu Yiling slowed down his tone:

"How can a family like us climb up to a high-ranking and rich family? Besides, it's not uncommon to see dirty and dirty things in that family. Why bother to get into this quagmire. It's serious to find a husband-in-law who is similar to us and has a good character. Yunxiu is also good."

"Madam, don't think about this matter of cultivation. Take a good look at Chengnan County to see if there is a suitable family, so that you can prepare for Yunxiu in advance."

Knowing that what his man had already decided would not change, Gu Zhushi left the front yard in a daze.

In fact, she understood that what Gu Yiling said was reasonable, but Gu Zhushi longed for her daughter to go further, no matter what, at least be better than her, now that the opportunity was in front of her, how could she give up.

Besides, there was Gu Yuanzhi between the two of them. When he thought of Gu Yuanzhi, Gu Zhushi couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and wanted to confront Gu Yiling.

After Gu Zhushi got Yunxiu, she has been unable to have another child. As a traditional Yongjia woman, she was originally planning to find a concubine for Gu Yiling.

However, when Yunxiu was five years old, Gu Yiling suddenly brought back a baby who was still in its infancy.

Although Gu Yiling did not bring a woman into the house, Gu Zhushi was very disgusted by his way of killing first and then playing. A feeling of being betrayed spontaneously arose, which is still hard to let go.

Under the pressure of "there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest", Gu Zhushi reluctantly accepted this son and has raised him to this day, and has been trying to treat him as his own son.
There is no shortage of food, clothing, and other expenses.

Although she doesn't hate the son she raised since she was a child, there is always a stalk in her heart, which makes there seem to be an invisible barrier between their mother and son; and in terms of human nature, she always puts Yunxiu first, followed by It is distant knowledge.

It can be seen from this that no matter it is a hairpin family or a narrow-door household, everyone has their own little abacus, and every family has a hard-to-recite scripture; when you lift off the bright and beautiful skin, there may be bloody "scissors" underneath. Constantly reasoning and chaos."
