Old Mrs. Zhao left. Ajiao looked at the envelope in her hand and was worried that something would happen to Mrs. Zhao. Ajiao didn't dare to wait until the evening to inform the official, so she sent Cui Niang to the county government and handed the letter to the official.
Cui Niang went and soon came back depressedly, saying that the official took the constables to the countryside to handle the case and did not know when he would return. Cui Niang was afraid that the letter would be lost, so she did not dare to stay in the county government office, so she brought it back intact.
When encountering such a thing, Gillian had no other way, so she could only wait.
Cui Niang curiously asked what happened and why Mrs. Zhao wanted to leave with Danrong.
Yesterday, when Zhao Yanping revealed Danrong's identity, Cui Niang and sister and Qiu Yue were not there, and the three of them were still in the dark.
Everyone left, and this matter could not be hidden. Gillian explained simply that he did not mention that Danrong was a brothel singer before, but only said that the official found out that Danrong was not Miss Xiangyun and wanted to send Danrong away, but Old Mrs. Zhao wanted to keep Danrong, so the two grandparents and grandchildren had a dispute.
After Cui Niang figured it out, she curled her lips and said, "I knew she was definitely not. The official is so good, Miss Chen is kind and generous, Miss Xiangyun must be no mistake, unlike Danrong, a big liar, who dares to act like a lady in front of us, where did she get her face? The old lady is just confused and quarrels with the official for an outsider."
Jiao thought to herself that she didn't mention Danrong giving money to Old Lady Zhao. If she mentioned it, Cui Niang wouldn't be confused.
At noon, Cui Niang was cooking in the kitchen. Zhao Yanping suddenly came back and got off the horse and asked Gillian who was greeting: "You sent Cui Niang to the county government to find me in the morning? What's the matter?"
He took his men to run in the countryside for a long time and just returned to the county town. When he learned that something might have happened at home, he came back to take a look.
Gillian turned back into the house and handed it to him.
What the letter said was what Danrong and Mrs. Zhao discussed, but she told Zhao Yanping in the tone of Mrs. Zhao, saying that she couldn't bear to live on the streets and wanted to go to her hometown to find someone for Danrong to treat her well. Once this matter was resolved, Mrs. Zhao would come back.
After reading the letter, Zhao Yanping directly wrinkled the letter paper. The old lady said it was nice, but wasn’t it just a greedy Danrong’s money?
"Official, what did the old lady say?" Jiao asked nervously when she saw his ugly face.
Zhao Yanping gave her the letter and asked her to read it by herself. He went to the house to drink water.
After reading it in a hurry, Gillian blamed Mrs. Zhao for being confused. She took over Danrong's marriage and became the matchmaker. In the future, Danrong would live with the man quietly. If something happened, the couple would come back to find Mrs. Zhao, but they might even implicate the official. Isn't this causing trouble?
However, from Danrong's perspective, she had nowhere to go. A weak woman with gold jewelry and silver was indeed dangerous. She could only grab Mrs. Zhao and be a backer for the time being.
Gillian didn't know what to do, but fortunately she didn't have to decide this family.
She took the letter and walked into the house, and the official came out when she arrived at the door.
"Where are you going? The meal is ready soon, you..."
"I'll go pick up the old lady back." Zhao Yanping said with a cold face.
He had decided to leave, but Gillian couldn't stop him, so he just told him: "Slowly advise the old lady, she is old, and the old doctor told her last time that she must not get angry anymore."
Zhao Yanping nodded.
In the afternoon, Gillian also cleaned the west room of Mrs. Zhao again, but in the evening, Zhao Yanping came back alone.
Gillian was worried: "The old lady doesn't want to come back?"
Zhao Yanping said in a deep voice: "I didn't go to pick me up."
Zhao Yanping wanted to go, but after leaving the city gate, Zhao Yanping slowly changed his mind.
In the final analysis, Danrong is also a pitiful person. If she could find a family to marry her, she would have a good ending. If he really went to force the old lady back, the old lady might have a stroke, and Danrong had no place to live. It would be better to follow them like now. On the eve of Danrong's marriage, Zhao Yanping would beat her up. If Danrong was restless, Zhao Yanping would have his own way to treat her.
Danrong followed Mrs. Zhao to Shenjiagou. When the two of them walked along the village road to the Zhao family's old house, they caused a lot of sensation.
The villagers asked Mrs. Zhao about Danrong's origin.
Old Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "A friend of Yanping helped him find Xiangyun and sent Miss Danrong to us to recognize him. But Miss Danrong is not Xiangyun. She is lonely and homeless. She begged me to decide for her and find a good family. I will take her back to her hometown to find her."
The villagers spoke more directly. Seeing Danrong being about twenty years old, they asked, "Miss Danrong is so beautiful, she has married a lot, right?"
Danrong had already spoken with the old lady, and said openly: "When I was a child, I was sold to a brothel. Fortunately, I met a noble man to redeem myself and become a good person. Today I came to Shenjiagou. I hope my uncles and aunts will pity my hardships and take care of me in the future."
Danrong didn't want to hide her identity at all, and she could hide it for a while and could not hide it for a lifetime. Instead of pretending to be a good woman, she would be able to reveal her true feelings first. What's wrong with being a good man? There are also many prostitutes and girls. She is rich and she is not afraid that no one will marry her.
Danrong lived in the Zhao family's old house with dignified demeanor. Old Mrs. Zhao took her silver jewelry and was responsible for praising her good people. She was a miserable life when she was sold to such a place before.
The villagers talked for a few days and gradually became accustomed to it. However, the matchmakers ran to the Zhao family diligently. The serious people didn't want to marry a wife like Danrong. Some poor people had no good life, so they wanted to make themselves a beautiful woman and have fun first.
But Danrong looked down on them.
Some sisters in brothels will eventually be redeemed by wealthy businessmen and officials will go home to be concubines. However, how reliable can men who often spend money on brothels be, they will be sold, sent to others, and displaced. Danrong is willing to be a concubine for Zhao Yanping, one is that Zhao Yanping is handsome and capable, and the other is that Zhao Yanping is upright and kind-hearted, and will not easily abandon the person next to her.
Zhao Yanping didn't want her. Now that he came to the village, no matter how capable the man is, he has more land at home, and Danrong's goal has become a wife.
The bachelor Lai Han likes to come to her door, but Danrong fell in love with Zhao Liang, the second wife of the Zhao family next door, early in the morning. First of all, Zhao Liang was young and burly and loved him, even if he had some problems, Danrong could be confident in transferring him. He could at least make do with his life. Secondly, the second wife of the Zhao family and Zhao Yanping were in trouble, and the blood relationship was constantly fought. Danrong had to worry about the couple being bullied when marrying others. When marrying Zhao Liang, ordinary bullies would be afraid of Captain Zhao in the county and dare not take action.
With the candidate, Danrong first asked Mrs. Zhao to be a golden hairpin for her. After giving Mrs. Zhao errands, Danrong hired someone to build a grand courtyard for herself near the Zhao family and asked Zhao Liang to be the supervisor. There were many men in the village, and Zhao Liang quickly built the house as soon as he shouted. Of course, Danrong had more contact with the supervisor Zhao Liang, and the relationship between the two became deeper, so they would just hide it from the elders.
With the house, Danrong left Mrs. Zhao and asked Zhao Liang to contact a comprador, she wanted to buy land.
Danrong is beautiful and charming. Zhao Liang has decided to marry Danrong. Danrong buys land to get the elders to agree. He is so happy to run errands, but he thinks that Danrong just wants to buy one or two acres, but Danrong secretly stuffs two taels of silver for the hush money. Finally, when signing the land sale contract, Zhao Liang, old lady Zhao, and his wife discovered that Danrong had actually bought twenty acres of fertile land in one go!
Twenty acres of fertile land, would it cost 100 taels of silver?
Only then did Mrs. Zhao realize that Danrong had never really trusted her and was always guarding against her!
Old Mrs. Zhao wanted to settle the score with Danrong, but Danrong had already moved into her own house and bought a maid and an ugly-faced wardrobe. Old Mrs. Zhao wanted to see her, but she could, but she wanted to curse or take action. Danrong asked someone to invite her out. She was polite. Old Mrs. Zhao wanted to have an attack, but she had no face.
What can she scold? Danrong is hiding her true feelings, so why are you sorry for her?
But Mrs. Zhao was just uncomfortable. If she had known Danrong had 100 taels of silver, how could she be satisfied with the dozen taels and a few gold jewelry? She should have asked for more!
At this moment, Zhao Liang invited a matchmaker to Danrong's house to propose marriage.
Old Mrs. Zhao firmly opposed it, and the first reason was that Danrong could not give birth to a child!
Zhao Liang smiled and said, "Grandmother, Danrong said that she will buy me a house and let me have a house for her, and we will raise our children together."
Old Mrs. Zhao also dislikes Danrong's bad reputation.
Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "Mom, can you eat that thing about fame? Don't look at those people pointing their fingers behind their backs, they secretly want to make Danrong fall in love with their son. It's a big house and twenty acres of land. She is even seventy-eighty and eighty-year-old and lacks arms and legs, so it's worth marrying her!"
Only then did Mrs. Zhao realize that not only Zhao Liang wanted to marry Danrong, but also Zhao Er's second uncle and Zhao Er Aunt Zhao Er also agreed!
Old Mrs. Zhao was very angry.
No one cared about her in the second room, and happily held their wedding. The wedding banquet was set in Danrong's courtyard. The sound of firecrackers and blowing sounds were lively for a day, and the village next door could hear it.
Old Mrs. Zhao refused to return to the county town to see if she could get some money from Danrong. Unexpectedly, she had joined forces with Zhao Liang to praise Danrong for her and Aunt Zhao, who was also disguised as a second uncle Zhao and second aunt Zhao, were also disguised by Danrong in a blink of an eye.
The reason was that Uncle Zhao Er, and Aunt Zhao Er wanted to move into Danrong's courtyard. She followed the couple to eat and drink delicious food and call slaves and maids. Before marriage, Aunt Zhao Er wanted to move in. Danrong shyly said that she had not gotten married yet, and it was reported that it was not suitable to move out, so she would move after marriage. However, when she got married, Danrong immediately changed her face and said that her elder brother and sister-in-law were still there, so how could her parents-in-law live with her younger son?
My daughter-in-law was unfilial, so Aunt Zhao went to find her son. As a result, Zhao Liang was just a mess and forgot his mother with a wife. What's more, Zhao Liang didn't want to be filial to his parents. When he wanted to marry Osmanthus, his parents didn't give him money, and his grandmother didn't give him any money. He also sent his cousin to catch him after eating a few pie cakes. Why should he be filial to such an elder?
Zhao Liang was completely in the same way as Danrong, and Aunt Zhao was so angry that he cursed all day long, but he was helpless.
Old Mrs. Zhao watched coldly. Seeing that her second son who used to mock her and her daughter-in-law has now become a laughing stock in the village. Seeing that she shrank her head and could no longer straighten her waist, Old Mrs. Zhao suddenly felt comfortable. After a while, she got more than a dozen taels of silver and gold jewelry. The son and his wife had not recovered anything. Not only did they not recover, they also had to grit their teeth at Danrong and Zhao Liang's brand new courtyard. That was really miserable, retribution!
