When Zhang Yingzi came in, her expression looked a little strange.
It wasn't the feeling of being sentimental towards Gu Shangqing that was wrong before, it was a feeling similar to being distraught, but not exactly the same. In short, it looked weird.
Su Mei, who brought Zhang Yingzi here, knew why something was wrong with Zhang Yingzi.
Because in fact she and Zhang Yingzi arrived a little earlier.
When she arrived at the door, she just heard Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu mention Zhang Yingzi. Su Mei was originally planning to interrupt and tell Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu that Zhang Yingzi had arrived.
So as to prevent the couple's private conversation from being overheard by outsiders.
Unexpectedly, I heard them talking about Zhang Yingzi.
I heard that Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu originally planned to take Old Man Zhang and Zhang Yingzi to the capital, but because they saw through Zhang Yingzi's thoughts, they gave up the idea.
I heard Gu Shangqing's evaluation of Zhang Yingzi again.
Gu Shangqing's meaning was very clear. Zhang Yingzi was his savior and he should repay her.
But people don't think highly of Zhang Yingzi herself.
Zhang Yingzi also heard it. How could she not be sad when her lover said that?
That's why his expression was so strange when he came in.
"I want to go home." Zhang Yingzi didn't even look at Li Mumu, but only spoke to Gu Shangqing.
Gu Shangqing said, "General Zhao will personally escort Miss Zhang back with his men. Miss Zhang does not need to worry about her safety on the road. In addition, Su Mei will accompany you and explain to the villagers why you have been here for a few days. It will not damage Miss Zhang's reputation."
Zhang Yingzi pursed her lips and said, "I'm not afraid of any damage to my reputation."
"Besides, yes, I am not very knowledgeable. I was born in a mountain village and have never been far away from home. I have never seen the world." Zhang Yingzi said, "Since I was a child, no one taught me poetry, literature and etiquette. No one told me what to say and what not to say."
"But I don't think I'm stupid, I just haven't been exposed to it. As long as someone teaches me, I will definitely understand these things, and I won't let people say I'm stupid." Zhang Yingzi said.
Gu Shangqing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Zhang Yingzi had heard what he had just said.
Gu Shangqing was also a little embarrassed. He was heard saying bad things about others behind their backs. This was really not gentlemanly behavior.
He couldn't get out of bed, so he could only bow his hands and said, "Miss Zhang, I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn. What I said was not what a gentleman should do.
I'm sorry."
Seeing that Gu Shangqing apologized, Zhang Yingzi suddenly became excited and said, "General Gu, as far as I know, before Jia'an Xiangjun married you, she was also a peasant girl and knew nothing."
Why doesn't he dislike Li Mumu?
Zhang Yingzi has made some progress in the past few days.
She also asked people about the concepts of these grades.
Know what level Li Mumu is as the Lady of Jia'an Township.
When Zhang Yingzi learned about this, she couldn't help feeling a little envious.
Li Mumu was born into a peasant family and it was said that her family was very poor.
Her parents were not nice to her, unlike her. Old Man Zhang loved her very much.
However, Li Mumu happened to marry Gu Shangqing. At that time, Gu Shangqing was nothing, but after returning from a war, he became a general of the sixth rank.
Zhang Yingzi didn't know what level a sixth-rank general was, but he was a general, so he was very powerful.
Then Li Mumu went straight from being a peasant girl to a general's wife.
She became the Lady of Jia'an again.
Zhang Yingzi envied Li Mumu's good luck, as if all the good things and good luck were given to Li Mumu.
They are all peasant girls, so why can Li Mumu live such a good life?
Her husband is capable, handsome, and lives in the capital. That is a life she could never dream of.
And she can only be an ordinary peasant girl.
Zhang Yingzi said this to Gu Shangqing just to remind him not to forget that Li Mumu was just an ordinary peasant girl.
How much of the world had Li Mumu seen when she first married him?
Don't you know nothing?
I wonder if Gu Shangqing ever disliked Li Mumu at that time.
If not, then he shouldn't dislike her now.
If there was, then she would have to think about it. Li Mumu at that time was also disgusting, not much better than her.
Gu Shangqing was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Zhang Yingzi to compare Li Mumu with her.
This... is simply incomparable.
Gu Shangqing smiled and said, "Miss Zhang has misunderstood. My wife is different from others."
Zhang Yingzi: "..."
What difference can it make.
"Although the lady was born a peasant girl, she has extraordinary knowledge. She has never learned
No one taught her the rules. But she never made mistakes in following the rules. "Gu Shangqing said.
"Before she got married, she learned to read and write. After she married into my family, the village spread rumors that I had died in battle, but my wife didn't believe it. She continued to run the family business and made their lives better and better until I came back."
"I also come from a farming family, and indeed I have not seen much of the world. But my wife and I both know one thing: be cautious in what you say and do." Gu Shangqing said, "It was also my first time entering officialdom, and my first time meeting those dignitaries, and so was my wife. But she never lost her manners when meeting those people she had never met before."
"She knew the importance of studying. When my family was not very wealthy, she took out most of her money to pay for teachers to educate her three children. She even asked her niece to study and paint with her."
"It was also her first time meeting the general, the first time meeting Eunuch Pan, and the first time meeting the saint." Gu Shangqing said, "But she never failed to behave politely. Her title of Xiangjun was also conferred by the saint himself."
"She was a businessman, but she was different from other businessmen. She opened an errand shop just to give the wounded soldiers who returned home a place to work. They were missing arms and legs, and were disabled, so no business was willing to hire them. So my wife opened an errand shop."
"She also invented instant noodles to supply the army with food during marches. It was precisely because of her contributions to Daxi, not keeping her own interests to herself, not just making money, but putting the interests of the country first, that the saint named her Xiangjun."
Gu Shangqing smiled and said, "The Saint even dislikes my slow promotion. Even if the Saint conferred an imperial decree on Madam, her rank was still low, not even as high as that of a Lady of the Country. Therefore, he could only confer the title of Lady of the Country on her first."
"This is not because Madam is lucky. This is all earned by Madam herself." Gu Shangqing seemed to see through Zhang Yingzi's thoughts.
Zhang Yingzi suddenly mentioned that Li Mumu also came from a peasant family. Doesn't she mean that Li Mumu is also ignorant?
Remind him that Li Mumu is actually the same as her.
I feel that everything Li Mumu has now is because Li Mumu is lucky.
She didn't know what Li Mumu paid in the process of getting all these.
Zhang Yingzi didn't know, so he told Zhang Yingzi to listen carefully.
Zhang Yingzi really didn't expect that Li Mumu would do all this.
But then again, it was because Li Mumu married Gu Shangqing and got to know many people that she had more opportunities to do these things.
