After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine
Chapter 17 Asking for something
"I'm here to ask a favor of you." Wang Zhaozhao looked embarrassed.
"I heard that the imperial physician in the palace is very skilled, so I persuaded my grandmother to go back to the capital with us. I want to see if I can ask you to introduce an imperial physician. We will pay for it ourselves..."
"If it really doesn't work, there are many doctors with excellent medical skills in Beijing, we can give it a try."
This scene did not happen in the previous life. Shen Yunjin understood that it was the butterfly effect brought about by her marriage exchange.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Shen Yunchu for stealing the bride, because this gave her the opportunity to change her best friend's life.
Shen Yunchu felt a little regretful at this moment. She didn't know whether the marriage she had snatched in this life was right?
On the day of her return, the Fifth Prince almost strangled her to death because she said the wrong thing.
Not only did Zhao Jingyan not help her, he also did not plead for her.
Even later, when her father and mother fought because of her, her husband acted as if he didn't care.
After returning home, she angrily questioned Zhao Jingyan why he stood by and watched?
However, Zhao Jingyan reprimanded her for being arrogant and misbehaving.
He also threatened that if he failed the autumn exam because of this incident, he would not forgive her.
Afterwards, he threw a huge pile of books on Women's Virtues and Women's Admonitions at her, and told her to memorize them all, lest she be laughed at by the nobles in the capital for her lack of education.
He also said that he would move back home when he had memorized it.
The two were newly married and were in the sweetest period of their marriage. Shen Yunchu definitely didn't want her husband to move to the study while she stayed alone in the empty room.
However, Shen Yunchu had always had a headache whenever she read since she was a child, so asking her to memorize the books was almost like killing her.
"Miss, your son-in-law is going too far. Not only does he not help you, he even punishes you by making you recite lessons." Chunxiang felt very unfair for Shen Yunchu.
"I think it's a good thing that the brother-in-law asked the young lady to endorse him. The brother-in-law must be a man who will move up to a high position. In the future, the young lady will have to come into contact with the ladies of wealthy families. It would be bad if she were laughed at by others then." Xia Xiang advised.
On the other side, Zhao's mother was also persuading Zhao Jingyan that Shen Yunchu was the eldest daughter and had been spoiled since childhood, so it was normal for her to have a temper.
The autumn exam is coming soon, and Zhao Jingyan needs to go out and meet with his classmates to discuss the exam questions.
I also have to invite the gentleman to dinner. When he is drunk, maybe he will reveal some clues.
In addition, before the exam, a large number of test questions will be released, and Zhao Jingyan would buy them every time.
Each of these requires sufficient money, and Zhao's mother is counting on her daughter-in-law to help.
The Zhao family moved to Shangjing halfway through their journey.
Although Mr. Zhao was not well educated, he knew the importance of environment to children.
So, when the second son passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he sold his ancestral property and went to Beijing.
The consumption in Beijing was much higher. The silver that was originally used to buy nearly 1,000 acres of land only bought more than 300 acres in the suburbs of Beijing.
Zhao's mother gave birth to three sons and two daughters.
The eldest son did not like to study because his literacy level was raised from a clerk to a shopkeeper.
Later, he married the daughter of the master's family and took charge of the Zhao family as soon as he entered the family.
The second son, Zhao Jingyan, is very smart. A fortune teller has said since he was young that he is the incarnation of Wenquxing and will surely achieve great things in the future.
The eldest daughter-in-law has always been dissatisfied with the fact that the whole family paid for Zhao Jingyan's studies.
The eldest daughter married the second son's former classmate, who also passed the imperial examination and was preparing to take the autumn examination.
The second daughter and the youngest son are still young, and the youngest son is also studying in school.
In order to support his family, Zhao's father found a job as a shopkeeper and went out early and came back late every day.
After the second son got married, the eldest daughter-in-law started to make a fuss about dividing the family property, saying that even if her younger uncle passed the exam, they would not benefit from it at all.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao thought about relying on their eldest son for support in their old age. After asking their second son for his opinion, the two old people agreed.
Therefore, the expenses for Zhao Jingyan's autumn examination had to be arranged entirely by Shen Yunchu.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao had to raise their younger daughter and son, and they didn't want to offend their eldest daughter-in-law, so they couldn't give much support.
After hearing what Zhao's mother said, tears almost fell out of Zhao Jingyan's eyes.
He didn't know why his sister-in-law didn't like him. His classmates' families all supported their studies.
He was very smart since he was young and could remember everything he had read.
Both the teacher in the school and the fortune teller thought that he would be the top scorer in the imperial examination.
If a family can produce a top scholar, it is a matter of honor for the whole family, and they would like to worship him.
However, it was the opposite in his family. His sister-in-law couldn't wait to draw a line between herself and him.
My parents also favor my eldest brother and his wife, simply because they think he cannot provide for them in their old age.
After stretching for two days, Zhao Jingyan bought a bag of pastries and came to Shen Yunchu.
"Husband, did you buy this for me?"
Shen Yunchu took the pastry and asked excitedly.
"Well, today I tasted this and it was very good, so I brought you a pack. Try it. If it tastes good, I will buy you another one another day."
Shen Yunchu picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth. It was too sweet and rough.
However, this was the first time her husband brought her pastries, and even though they were hard to swallow, she still thought they were delicacies.
"It's delicious. You can try it too, my husband." Shen Yunchu picked up a small piece and handed it to Zhao Jingyan's mouth.
Zhao Jingyan opened his mouth and took it in, licking Shen Yunchu's finger with his tongue, "Mm, very sweet."
Shen Yunchu's face immediately turned red, and she gave her husband a reproachful look.
Zhao Jingyan embraced Shen Yunchu and said, "No matter how sweet you are, you can't compare to my wife."
As he said that, he kissed Shen Yunchu.
"Husband..." Shen Yunchu responded reluctantly.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the creaking of the bed.
After a while, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, and Shen Yunchu lay in Zhao Jingyan's arms with a contented look on his face.
"My wife, there will be a class reunion in three days. I heard that it is hosted by the classmates from the previous year. I am lucky enough to receive the invitation."
"Really? My husband is amazing! It's too late to make new clothes now. I will go to the clothing store tomorrow to buy some nice clothes for my husband."
"Then I'll trouble you, my lady." Zhao Jingyan lowered his head and kissed Shen Yunchu on the forehead.
Shen Yunchu stretched out his hands and hugged Zhao Jingyan. It was really like a warm spring night in the hibiscus tent!
The next day, Shen Yunchu not only spent a lot of money to buy a satin and silk gown for Zhao Jingyan, but also thoughtfully prepared dozens of taels of silver in his purse.
Zhao Jingyan watched all this and was deeply moved. He bowed to Shen Yunchu.
"My husband will definitely live up to my expectations. He will definitely win the autumn exam and make me the top scorer!"
Shen Yunchu was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. She bought some nice clothes for her husband, and her husband was deeply moved.
She felt that her choice was right. In her previous life, she learned to make a piece of clothing for the King of Qi.
All ten of his fingers were pierced, but the King of Qi didn't even look at them and directly gave them to the servants as rewards.
Thinking of this, she cursed in her heart that if the King of Qi dared to criticize her, he would not have a good end.
At this time, Xiao Minshen was indeed in trouble and was stuck in a dead end.
