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

"His father, what is written on the imperial edict that you are looking at so excitedly?"

Tong Fusheng and Wang brought Tong Zhijie and Tong Zhaodi to Beijing.

As soon as we entered the city, we saw the imperial edict posted on the wall. Many people gathered under it to read it.

When he heard that it was the result of the Spring Examination, Tong Fusheng thought that Gu Jingzhe was also going to participate, so he rushed over.

Wang was illiterate. When she saw Tong Fusheng almost poke two holes in the imperial edict, she asked Tong Fusheng what was written on it that made him so excited.

Tong Fusheng first looked up from the bottom, but after looking for a long time he didn't see Gu Jingzhe's name, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The little bastard acted like an ordinary person in front of him, and even mocked him for being just a student at his age.

It turns out that my eldest nephew failed the spring imperial examination.

Tong Fusheng thought proudly, even if Gu Jingzhe was the top scorer in the examination and the first place in the provincial examination, so what? He would fail anyway.

"This is the list of the Spring Examination. It seems that Gu Jingzhe is not on the list." Tong Fusheng said happily to Wang.

Wang slapped her thigh and said, "Serves you right! This is what your good sister deserves."

"Dad, Mom, Gu Jingzhe is the top scorer this year." Tong Zhijie shouted, pointing at the name on the list.

Tong Fusheng never thought that Gu Jingzhe could become the top scorer. Let alone the top scorer, he thought it was impossible for him to even get second place.

Therefore, he didn't even look up when he saw the name just now.

The three big words "Gu Jingzhe" hurt Tong Fusheng's eyes so much that he blinked hard several times, fearing that he had seen it wrong.

Wang said, "Gu Jingzhe is the top scholar? There are so many talented people in Shengjing. How could a country boy like Gu Jingzhe from Qinghewan get the top spot? Zhijie, you must be mistaken."

Wang was eager to get a positive answer, so she shook Tong Fusheng and said, "His father, is he wrong? That person above is not Gu Jingzhe, right?"

The onlookers were angry.

Many of them still remember the grand scene of Gu Zhuangyuan riding a horse in the parade a few days ago.

“This year’s top scorer is indeed the top scorer in the Valley.”

"That's right, it's the Gu Jingzhe you're talking about. He came from Ningcheng Township. His mother is the owner of Jufulai."

"Who are you? Why are you so jealous? You can't even hide your jealousy."

"How can you question the Six Yuan and the First Place Scholar personally chosen by our Emperor?"

......

Everyone blamed Tong Fusheng and Wang, and they wanted to throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at them.

Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi took Tong Zhijie and Tong Zhaodi and walked out of the crowd in shame.

"Zhijie was right. Gu Jingzhe really did get the top spot."

Tong Fusheng spoke only after he was far away from the crowd, his face still full of disbelief.

Wang frowned and said, "God is blind."

Tong Zhijie touched his chin and said with envy, "Gu Jingzhe is the top scholar. Wouldn't he be a high-ranking official in the imperial court in the future?"

He complained to Wang and Tong Fusheng, "If it weren't for you two offending my aunt, maybe Gu Jingzhe could have arranged for me to be a county magistrate or something like that."

Tong Fusheng stomped his feet.

He regrets it too!

He really didn't expect Gu Jingzhe to become the top scorer.

Another person who felt the same regret was Fan Tong, who looked like a beggar not far away. Gu Jingzhe's high-spirited parade had given him such a huge shock.

Now Fan Tong has been wandering in Shengjing. He has no money to go home. He wants to go out to work, but he cannot bear the hardship and is afraid of his identity being exposed and caught by Deng Changshi. He is in a dilemma.

He wanted to pester Gu Honglian, but he was afraid of the dogs in the pig farm.

"Gu Jingzhe just won the top spot in the imperial examination. I'm sure the emperor won't give him a high-ranking official position. He has a long way to go." Tong Zhaodi said, "Zhijie, once I've established myself in the Su family, I can give you whatever you want. Lord Su is a high-ranking official in the court."

Tong Fusheng and Wang's eyes lit up when they heard Tong Zhaodi's words. They were so shocked by Gu Jingzhe's top scorer that they forgot the reason they came to Shengjing.

This family of three came to Shengjing to "send off" Tong Zhaodi's wedding.

It is said that not long after Tong Zhaodi married her ex-brother-in-law Wu Musheng, her father-in-law Wu Ren was stripped of his position as village head, and the Wu family fell into complete decline.

Tong Fusheng felt that Tong Zhaodi was at a disadvantage by marrying into the Wu family, and encouraged Tong Zhaodi to divorce and remarry after giving birth to the child.

Tong Zhaodi gave birth to a daughter. The Wu family was very unhappy, and Tong Fusheng was even more unhappy. He had already spread the word that Tong Zhaodi was suitable for bearing a boy so that she could remarry into a family that wanted to have a son.

When the child was just one month old, Tong Zhaodi divorced Tong Fusheng under the arrangement of Tong Fusheng.

Originally, Tong Fusheng wanted to give Tong Zhaodi to a wealthy family in Ningcheng as a concubine or to an old widower as his second wife. When Wu Musheng found out, he threatened that if Tong Zhaodi dared to remarry, he would fight the Tong family to the death.

Tong Zhaodi was so frightened that she dared not remarry in Ningcheng area.

Tong Fusheng did not give up and decided to hire Tong Zhaodi to a place outside Ningcheng, preferably Shengjing.

Coincidentally, when Tong Fusheng was copying for someone in Ningcheng, he met a village head. The village head was the cousin of Old Lady Su and was helping the Su family look after their farm in Ningcheng.

Zhuangtou knew that her cousin wanted to take a concubine for Su Shihang, but she couldn't stand those charming women who cost a lot of money to support them, so she wanted to find a simple, inexperienced and fertile farm girl to be Su Shihang's concubine.

So the head of the village took advantage of the Spring Festival to go to Beijing to deliver the land rent to the Su family and persuaded Old Lady Su, who agreed to let Tong Zhaodi come to Beijing to be Su Shihang's concubine.

As soon as spring came, Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi brought Tong Zhaodi to Beijing.

"Our son-in-law is a high-ranking official in Shengjing. Once Zhaodi has established herself in the Su family, all our hard work will be worth it."

Wang looked at the bustling streets of Shengjing, her face filled with longing for a new life.

Although she had never met Su Shihang, she had automatically regarded him as her brother-in-law.

Tong Fusheng nodded, agreeing with what Wang said.

Lord Su is the Minister of Personnel.

Tong Fusheng had some understanding of the court officials and knew the duties of the Minister of Personnel. Just wait and see, Gu Jingzhe's top spot in the imperial examination was of no use, as his future assessments and promotions would have to be decided by his brother-in-law.

Tong Fusheng felt comforted.

The Tong family of four walked through the streets and alleys and saw the sign of Tong's business and knew it belonged to Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Zhaodi held her head high. Her sister, who had been inferior to her since childhood, was able to marry Master Su and live in Shengjing with the help of her aunt. Why couldn't she?

Coincidentally, the sisters remarried people with the surname Su. Although she was a concubine, the man she married, Lord Su, was an official appointed by the court, while Master Su was just a teacher.

As soon as she entered the Su family, she insisted on showing off in front of Tong Pandi and her aunt.

Because Gu Jingzhe won the top spot in the imperial examination, the house was filled with guests every day these days. Tong Huaqiong, who was entertaining the guests at home, did not know that Tong Fusheng and his family had also come to Beijing.

Tong Fusheng's family of four followed the address and arrived at the gate of the Su Mansion.

"Beijing officials are different. Their gates are more magnificent than those of ordinary people." Wang looked excited.

"Who are you looking for?"

When the doorman saw the family of four at the door dressed so poorly, he thought they were poor relatives from the Su family who came to ask for money. He didn't dare to open the door without the order of the old lady and the adults.

"Looking for our uncle."

Wang said it smoothly.
