Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Gu Yao ignored these things. After watching Gu Yun and the others return home, she knew from the happy smiles on their faces that they were living well.

Their dowry was considered pretty good, one of the best even in the county, so the elders of the Zheng family liked Gu Yun and the others.

Looking at their happy days, Gu Yao felt relieved. Fortunately, she found a good family for her two younger brothers.

By the end of the year, Gu Yao was promoted again. This time, she annotated all the classics and even published another book.

Therefore, the Hanlin Academy will not treat those who have made contributions unfairly. This time, she is a seventh-rank editor.

Moreover, after getting the promotion, she applied for a pardon for her father.

When the imperial edict arrived at Gu's house, everyone was envious of Gu's father.

After all, this is a pardon, he will be on the emperor's pay, and others will look up to him when he goes out.

With Gu's father's pardon, he could also attend banquets held by middle-class families.

Gu's father cannot enter the upper class unless Gu Yao can become a fourth-rank official.

Father Gu didn't care about these upper-class people. He just hoped that his family would be well.

Wherever he goes now, everyone is envious and jealous of him, and they all praise him for having a good daughter.

Mother Gu was envious of Father Gu's pardon, but unfortunately Gu Yao's request for a title could only be given to her father, not her mother.

Father Gu spent the whole day looking at his pardoned clothes and some gold and silver jewelry, which made Mother Gu very envious.

"Stop looking at it. You've been looking at it for a whole day. Isn't it enough?"

Hearing her sour words, Gu's father smiled and said: "I know you are envious, but this is what my daughter earned for me. No wonder people say that a good daughter is better than a dozen others. If it weren't for A Yao, our Gu family wouldn't be where it is today."

Father Gu still feels like he is in a dream. Their Gu family is no longer just peasants.

Now that I have become an official, I have servants to serve me and can eat all kinds of good things. I feel happy just thinking about it.

"I never thought I could eat the emperor's food in this life. This is a pardon. Now I know what a pardon is. Do you think it is possible for me to sit on the throne of the emperor?"

He also knew that the imperial edict was of much higher status than the pardon, and that pardon required courtesy to be shown to people higher than him. However, if he took the position of the imperial edict holder, someone would pay him respect.

Mother Gu continued to be sour: "Our A Yao is so smart, of course it's possible. I don't know if I can be an official. But I don't have much ability, and I can't be an official in this life. I can only rely on my daughter."

When Father Gu heard this, he said angrily: "You'd better take care of our family. We have more and more children. If we don't have money, it will be a problem to eat in the future. After all, although our daughter is an official, she only earns a dozen taels of silver a month. What can she do with it?"

Gu's father thought that he would be able to enjoy wealth and glory after becoming an official, but he didn't expect that Gu Yao, who was an eighth-rank official, only earned ten taels of silver a month before, and now that he is a seventh-rank official, he only earns twelve taels of silver a month. This is really not cost-effective.

"Don't complain about the small salary, but this is a status. Our daughter is a seventh-rank editor. She will be admired if she goes out. Besides, the county magistrate is also a seventh-rank official. Our daughter's official position is much higher than that of the county magistrate."

In Gu's mother's heart, Gu Yao is the most capable. She has been promoted to the seventh rank in just a few years of service. Her daughter is the best in their county.

Hearing what Father Gu said, she quickly blocked his words, thinking that her husband was distracted.

When Father Gu heard this, he said quickly: "I'm not disgusted, I just think the salary is too little, but fortunately our family has a lot of land. It's just that our family married off two sons some time ago and the money has shrunk a lot, you have to work hard to make more money."

When Mother Gu heard this, she immediately said, "You don't know about our family's industry. Several shops are producing golden eggs today. We also have one in the county town and one in the capital. These can also make money, so a lot of our son's dowry was given away. In the future, our industry will continue to make money for our family, so don't worry, our granddaughters and grandsons will still have money in the future."

What's more, Gu's mother knew that Gu Yao would continue to be promoted in the future, and their grandson would marry someone with higher status.

But as the family status becomes higher and higher, the dowry also increases, so one still needs to earn more money.

She thought about going to the capital to buy some more land or farms, so that when her grandson gets married, he won't just be given as a dowry of money, he should also give some land as a dowry.

Father Gu was relieved after hearing this, but he still said, "We already have four children, and maybe we will have more in the future, so it's better to have more land. Although buying land will make money more slowly, it will at least give our family more confidence. In the future, when our grandson gets married and brings land as a dowry, others will look up to him."

Father Gu became more and more generous. After all, he had lived in the capital for almost a year and had attended other people's weddings. He also knew what kind of dowries other families gave to their husbands.

So he thought that his family was also an official family. Their grandson's dowry must not be small, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

He values ​​Gu Yao's face more than anything else, and no one can let his daughter lose face.

Mother Gu thought about what she was thinking and talked to Gu Yao again. After listening, Gu Yao said, "Mom, you are right. We should buy a farm, even if it is only a dozen acres. After all, there are more and more children in the family, and we need more money and land."

Mother Gu was very happy to hear that Gu Yao supported her, and she has been looking for ways to buy the manor since then.

The capital city is different after all. After all, there are many high-ranking officials in the capital city, so many fields are bought by them. Even if she wants to buy, she can't buy much.

After all the scattered investment, they only bought ten acres of land. However, these ten acres of land were also very expensive. But fortunately, with this land, they no longer have to spend money to buy food and vegetables.

Then she found some villagers from the suburbs to help them farm, and she was already very happy just collecting rent.

Although she failed to buy the manor, Gu's mother still didn't give up. She planned to look for other places to buy it. It would be great if she could find a cheap manor.

When Gu's mother went to look for Zhuangzi, guests came to the house, including Han's mother and her husband.

When Han Yuqing heard that her mother and father had come, she was very happy and immediately asked the servants to take the child to meet her grandmother and grandfather.

"Mom, you are here."

Han Yuqing hadn't seen the two elders of the Han family for almost a long time. He was very excited to see them come to the capital. He was thinking of keeping them at the Gu family for a few more days so that he could kiss and caress them.

When Zhang saw Han Yuqing coming over, she was very excited. Then she looked at her granddaughter and quickly held them both in her arms.

"Qing'er, I finally meet you, and my granddaughter. She is so pretty and looks a lot like your mother."
