The whole village is suffering from tuberculosis, but I have 10,000 acres of top-quality medicinal f

The Ling family can be regarded as a family of officials. Three generations ago, someone once served as an official in Kyoto.

Unfortunately, now that it is beautiful on the outside, only an empty shell remains on the inside.

As a last resort, he sent his eighteen-year-old daughter to the Zhao Mansion in exchange for enough financial support, which was considered a strong alliance.

Ling Xueer was taught since childhood that she was born to be a chess piece.

She had no complaints about marrying a man who was more than 20 years older than herself. Instead, she felt that it was a good thing to leave that home and walk on another path to change her destiny.

However, her stepdaughter Zhao Yan is obviously not an economical person.

After being married twice, you can still return home to show off your power, but in the long run, it will be a stumbling block.

In the backyard, there can only be one mistress.

She won't pay attention to other concubines and so on. She will use the methods of elementary school to control them and make them obedient and unable to act like monsters.

But Zhao Yan... is bound by blood to her husband after all, so Zhen Zhen'er is really difficult to deal with.

"She dares!" Zhao Song immediately took a stand, "If she really dares to be stupid, I will be the first to not spare her!" Then the conversation changed and he said with a smile, "But don't think too much, Yan'er, she She has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child, and her temper is a bit arrogant, but she is still very kind-hearted and knows the importance of it, so she will not seriously embarrass you. "

Hearing this, Ling Xueer lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her lips softly, revealing a ladylike temperament from her bones, which made Zhao Song both fascinated and a little timid.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have been like this since ancient times.

Even if you are rich and noble, you still feel inferior in front of officials.

As a result, he had very complicated feelings towards the new lady. While he liked the new color, he also had a somewhat flattering attitude.

Of course, this was before he became an official.

"Oh, it's actually nothing to embarrass me. I'm just worried that it will affect my career."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Song frowned.

"I don't know something. The current emperor is different from the previous emperor. He is very diligent in serving the people and can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. Although donating officials is nothing new since the previous dynasty, and most people in the imperial city are open-minded. One eye is closed, but now, officials can donate, but they must go through the review process."

"Audit...process?"

Ling Xueer looked at the other party's expression and felt secretly proud.

At the same time, I am extremely grateful for the conversation I overheard while having dinner at the restaurant last night.

If it weren't for those words, she wouldn't have thought of making a fuss about it.

After all, the elders in the family were too short-sighted. They only taught her how to run the back house and never taught her anything about officialdom.

It's a pity that I left in a hurry and didn't see the two people chatting next door. Otherwise, I really want to see who is so eloquent in this small county town.

Maybe I can make some friends and use them for my own use.

"Yes, one of the trials is reputation."

"But I'm already giving charity..."

Ling Xueer shook her head and sighed: "Who wouldn't do such a superficial thing? Those officials sent to review are not fools. What they want to check is the real reputation, and it is not limited to Your own children, sir, are naturally at the top of the list. After all, as the saying goes, if a son fails to teach his father, it is his fault that he cannot teach his own children well. Then... I have made a mistake."

She covered her lips and coughed twice. Zhao Song's face was serious, obviously he had listened to all these words.

With his current wealth, he is naturally not just a drunkard who only plays with women. He pondered for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter. Madam said it so bluntly, which shows that she really takes the Zhao family and her husband into consideration. We, husband and wife, , if we work together, our future glory and status will be half of yours."

"I would like to thank you for your love."

When the Zhao family's team returned to the city, it was evening, and the streets were sparsely crowded, all rushing home.

Five sedans were lined up in a row, and several masters got off the sedans one after another.

Zhao Yan had just stepped out of the sedan door with the help of the maid, when a cold and angry voice came.

"Miss Zhao! In order to force me to succumb to you, you did not hesitate to send people to threaten and persecute my wife. What you did was outrageous and so lawless. Is this Qingzha County the backbone of your Zhao family?"

Looking at the handsome face full of grief and anger, Zhao Yan was immediately stunned. No matter what she heard, she subconsciously instructed the servants around her: "Where is this madman coming from? What nonsense are you talking about? Quickly, get rid of him!"

The servants were about to take action when they received a secret look from Ling Xueer and couldn't help but hesitate.

But at this moment, from the intersection, from the alley, from all directions, many people suddenly came in for some reason.

There were men and women, old and young, all surrounding the Zhao Mansion.

They didn't do anything, they simply watched the excitement. The chatter was neither loud nor low, just enough to catch Zhao Song's ears.

"Who does Miss Zhao have her eyes on again? She has almost become a scene in our county. If this continues, her good reputation will spread to other counties."

"Hey, it seems like he is a married man this time. It's terrible. Things are getting worse and worse!"

Zhao Song couldn't ignore it anymore. He immediately retracted his foot that had crossed the threshold, turned back and walked down the steps. He first stopped the gang of servants who were about to make a move, so as not to make the matter a big mess on the spot, and then smiled kindly at Ah Zhi. : "This... Young Master, please be patient. You may have some misunderstandings about my daughter. Why don't you come with me into the house first? If you have any questions, let's sit down and talk slowly. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." "

Due to Ling Xueer's suggestion just now, Zhao Song was actually very tired of his eldest daughter's wanton and trouble-making behavior, but after all, he was in love with her, so he immediately tried his best to help cover it up.

Facing so many onlookers, Mr. Zhao was confident and not too panicked.

Who is he? He is one of the most wealthy businessmen in the entire county. He speaks in such a condescending manner that even if the county boss comes, he will still be able to give him a little favor.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed.

Azhi was neither flattered nor moved to tears with gratitude. He still looked grief-stricken and said with tears in his eyes: "Misunderstanding? Oh, does it mean that I have to disappear in the county for it to be considered a misunderstanding? Do you have to see my wife running around looking for me and passing out on the street before it is considered a misunderstanding? Since ancient times, men have stood upright. If Mr. Zhao is really open-minded, then let's make it clear in front of everyone and solve it behind closed doors. Could it be that you want to tell everyone that keeping your mouth shut is the usual style of your Zhao family!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd became excited and shouts came and went.

"Yes!"

"Why are you hiding it? If you have anything to say, say it openly!"

"If you don't want to, let's ask Mr. Qingtian to make the decision!"

In the corner, there are three heads hidden at the base of the wall.

The person below sighed: "What Brother Azhi just said is more than what I have said this month combined."
