The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Umbrellas and umbrellas are used for ceremonials, accompanied by drums and music.

Gu Jingzhe was surrounded by people and came to Tong Huaqiong and others.

Lu Zhaozhao stood next to Tong Huaqiong. She was stunned when she saw Gu Jingzhe, the top scorer.

Handsome, so handsome.

Such a dazzling top scholar, that is her husband.

Gu Jingzhe looked at Tong Huaqiong and Lu Zhaozhao, and his eyes instantly turned red. When he walked out of Qinghe Bay, he vowed to strive for a good future, make his mother proud of him, and make his wife happy for him.

Now he has done it.

From now on, Tong Huaqiong is the mother of the top scholar, Lu Zhaozhao is the wife of the top scholar, and her sister Gu Taohua is the sister of the top scholar. All the female members of the Gu family are traveling around and doing business, and no one dares to despise them anymore.

Especially Lu Zhaozhao, when she liked him, he did nothing but study.

When she married him, he was just a scholar from the countryside.

Now that he is the top scholar and is about to start his official career, he vows to reach a high position and make Lu Zhaozhao the most envied lady in Shengjing.

"My husband really became the top scholar."

Under Gu Jingzhe's fiery gaze, Lu Zhaozhao's voice trembled with excitement.

Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua supported Lu Zhaozhao on both sides, and advised her not to get excited, as she was pregnant. They were afraid that her excitement would affect the fetus, and it would be bad if she gave birth prematurely due to excitement.

"I'm fine. I'm so happy."

Lu Zhaozhao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She now has two identities, the sister of the top scholar and the wife of the top scholar. She now somewhat believes what Gu Taohua said about her being lucky.

Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e directed everyone to scatter copper coins to the neighbors. These copper coins were prepared in advance. Zhao, Hong and others followed to help. No matter who came to congratulate, they would grab a handful of copper coins and stuff them into the door.

Everyone accepted it with a smile.

Everyone wants to share in the blessing of the top scholar’s ​​wedding money.

Especially those families with children who are studying, would bring their children to stroll in front of Gu Zhuangyuan's house just to share in the good news.

As the second top scholar in the imperial examination who ranked first among the six highest in the imperial examinations, officials tried to understand the emperor's intentions and worked hard to publicize this auspicious sign from heaven.

Therefore, Gu Jingzhe received more attention than the top scorers in previous years.

During the parade, even the Royal Guards were sent to lead the way.

Many people chased Gu Jingzhe and ran all the way to Tong Huaqiong's house.

Along the way, flower sachets were constantly thrown. Gu Dashu ran along while spreading the news that Gu Zhuangyuan was about to become a father, for fear that Gu Jingzhe would be snatched away by those who were looking for a son-in-law from the list.

Of course, some people didn't believe that such a young top scholar could get married. Some people really tried to capture Gu Jingzhe, but they were all stopped by Su Chengmin.

Su Chengmin thought that if Gu Jingzhe was really captured, Gu Taohua would be the first one to not let him go.

Gu Jingzhe arrived at the door of his house and dismounted, and the guards relaxed their defense a little.

At this time, a group of people came up and pulled Gu Jingzhe's clothes. Gu Jingzhe was so scared that his face turned pale and he kept shouting "I already have a wife" and "I already have a wife".

If Su Chengmin hadn't been quick-eyed and quick-handed, Gu Jingzhe would have been nearly snatched away on the street.

"My lady, I only love you."

Gu Jingzhe rushed to Lu Zhaozhao wearing flowers, but was afraid of scaring Lu Zhaozhao.

"My son is married."

"This is my third sister-in-law."

"If you want to capture a son-in-law, go after the runner-up and third place winners, don't think about our third brother."

Tong Huaqiong and others covered their mouths and laughed while talking to everyone.

Gu Jingzhe became the top scholar, and not only was there laughter and joy in the Gu family, but the Gu family shop was also extremely lively.

After Gu Jingzhe was welcomed home, the people who came to join in the fun drank tea and took copper coins, and started going to shops under Tong Huaqiong's name, such as Jufulai Peach Blossom Dessert.

As early as after Gu Jingzhe won the first place, Tong Huaqiong had already made preparations for the subsequent traffic, and all the shops under his name began to hold activities under the name of Gu Jingzhe's status as the top scorer.

At Taohua Dessert, you can get a pound of cakes for free when you buy a pound of cakes. If you buy mung bean cakes and other cakes that Gu Zhuangyuan likes, you will also receive wrapping paper signed by Gu Zhuangyuan himself.

Of course, the oil paper with Gu Jingzhe's signature was signed by Tong Huaqiong in advance.

In addition to storewide discounts, Jufulai will draw three lucky customers that day to receive a calligraphy piece by Gu Zhuangyuan.

These three lucky customers didn't know that ten years later, compared with the title of top scholar, Gu Jingzhe's calligraphy and paintings would be even more famous throughout the world, and many people would go to great lengths to ask others to help them get Gu Jingzhe's calligraphy.

In short, this wave of popularity lasted for a long time.

The sales and popularity of the shop under Tong Huaqiong's name reached a new height, but that is a story for later.

Tong Huaqiong became completely high-profile when she heard that Gu Jingzhe was the top scorer.

The Gu family decorated the house with lanterns and held a grand banquet for their guests.

Some people are happy and some are sad.

The Su family is the one that regrets the most.

In the Golden Palace, the emperor asked the court officials what they thought about who should be chosen as the top scholar. Su Shihang was against Gu Jingzhe being the top scholar.

The reason he gave was that Lu Zhaoyang from Ningcheng was the top scholar, and Gu Jingzhe was Lu Zhaoyang's brother-in-law. It was not appropriate for a family to have two top scholars, as this would make the Lu and Gu families arrogant.

Besides, Gu Jingzhe's essay was too sharp. Young people are easily defeated if they are too stubborn. Giving him the top spot would only encourage students to take unconventional approaches in the future.

The emperor ultimately did not adopt Su Shihang's opinion.

Su Shihang was extremely depressed. Gu Jingzhe, the top scholar, was so famous that he couldn't win him over even if he wanted to.

Old Mrs. Su was even more unhappy when she learned that Gu Jingzhe had won the top spot.

She had always felt that Gu Taohua had a bad temper and was suppressing Su Chengmin. Now that she had a brother who was the top scholar backing her up, wouldn't Su Chengmin be unable to turn things around in the future?

His grandson has an uncle who is a general to support him, and he will have a brother-in-law to supplement his connections among civil servants in the future. He is afraid that his son will become increasingly useless to his grandson. Will his grandson still care about the Su family?

"The Gu family is so lucky that they actually produced a number one scholar. I'm afraid he got this title thanks to the crown prince. Let the Gu family enjoy the glory now, and their true abilities will be revealed when they enter the officialdom. I think the Gu family will be exposed sooner or later and their property will be confiscated." Mrs. Lu guessed the look in Old Lady Su's eyes with a look of sarcasm on her face.

Old Madam Su glared at Madam Lu and said, "If you can't speak, shut up. The Gu family has been confiscated, and Cheng Min will not be well off either."

Mrs. Lu was scolded so much that she didn't dare to talk back.

She was also puzzled. It was obvious that Old Lady Su didn't like Gu Taohua and Tong Huaqiong, so why did the old lady defend her when she said something bad about the Gu family?

I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.

In fact, Mrs. Su's thoughts were simple. It was true that she disliked Gu Taohua and hated Tong Huaqiong, but that didn't mean she wanted Tong Huaqiong's family to suffer misfortune. If Su Chengmin wasn't Tong Huaqiong's son-in-law, Mrs. Su would have wished Tong Huaqiong misfortune.

Now that Su Chengmin is Tong Huaqiong's son-in-law, Old Lady Su hopes that Tong Huaqiong can do business steadily and provide financial support to her grandson. Even if a businessman has a fortune, he cannot compare to an official, and the Gu family still has to listen to their grandson.

Now that the Gu family has produced a top scholar, the Gu family will rely on Gu Jingzhe in the future, so her grandson Su Chengmin will become a son-in-law.

Old Mrs. Su's mentality is like she is worried that her grandson's in-laws will not live well, and she is also worried that their in-laws will drive a Land Rover.

"Go to my store and pick out two inexpensive gifts to send to the Gu family as a congratulations."

In the end, Old Lady Su felt that she couldn't offend Tong Huaqiong, but she also couldn't flatter her either, so she just gave her a cheap gift as a token of her appreciation.
