Happiness System
Chapter 791: Fake Gold 17Bo Jingyao responded and got on his horse. He took two steps, then stopped and looked back, saying, "If I have time, I will come again before the New Year."
Sheng Yunyou also took two steps forward, "Brother Yao, Yunyou is waiting for you to come back!"
After sending the uncle and nephew of the Bo family away, Sheng Yunyou began to observe mourning at home.
Actually, I’m not feeling well and need to rest well.
The biological father of this body is also surnamed Sheng, named Sheng Dalin. He married Zhang and had an eldest son, Sheng Dazhuang, who is now working as a laborer in Anping City.
The Sheng family had another younger son. Zhang had a difficult labor when she gave birth to him and was unable to have another child afterwards, so she named the younger son Sheng Xiaobao.
Sheng Xiaobao's talent for studying was discovered when he was five years old. The Sheng family sold all they had to send him to school. After he entered the school, he asked a teacher to give him a new name, and from then on he was called Sheng Xueyi.
The Sheng family are all honest people. The worst thing they have ever done in their lives is probably taking money and allowing Li's maid to switch the child, but they have never treated the real daughter Sheng Yunzhu badly.
When Sheng Yunzhu was in the countryside, her name was Sheng Baozhu. The Sheng family thought she was a young lady from a good family and never treated her badly. They raised her like a treasure and treated her better than their two sons.
The Sheng family did not spend a penny of the silver the maid gave to her. When she was ten years old, they used the silver to send her to an embroidery workshop in the town.
There are two types of apprentices in an embroidery workshop. One type pays to learn the skills. After completion, they can take orders in the workshop or work as embroiderers in wealthy families. The other type sells themselves to get in. After completion, these apprentices become embroiderers in the workshop. They are slaves, have no freedom, and receive low wages.
Sheng Yunzhu had never done any work in the Sheng family. She went to an embroidery workshop and learned embroidery skills for three years. Apart from having poor food and clothing, she had never suffered any hardship.
But the bad nature of her genes could not be changed. When she heard that she was not her biological daughter, she took all the property of the Sheng family and ran away.
At that time, Sheng Dalin's mother was seriously ill. She died without taking a breath after hearing the news. The Sheng family had to borrow money from everywhere to hold the funeral.
It is not easy for a poor family to go out. The family had just held a funeral and was in debt. Plus, they felt guilty, so the Sheng family did not dare to go looking for them.
It was not until later, when their daughter still did not return, that they mustered up the courage to go to Anping City.
The one who went there was Sheng Dalin. The Sheng family beat him ruthlessly. Sheng Dalin suffered internal injuries, and without money for treatment, he had to drag his sick body back to his hometown.
Later, seeing that his condition was getting worse, the Sheng family came to Anping City again out of anxiety. They thought that they had not treated Sheng Baozhu badly, as she could not bear to watch her adoptive father die without helping.
Unfortunately, they overestimated human nature. If Sheng Dazhuang hadn't been smart, he might have ended up like his father.
The job was not done well, his father needed money for medical treatment, and the family was in debt. Sheng Dazhuang found that he could make money in Anping City as long as he was willing to work hard. He spent all the copper coins he had, sent a letter to his family, and stayed there.
He no longer had any hope for his adopted sister, but he still tried to find out the whereabouts of his biological sister while working.
After hearing the news, Sheng Yunyou felt a little soft-hearted and asked some people to contact him. They all said that Sheng Dazhuang was a good person.
However, she did not want to recognize the original owner's biological parents. She did not want to have two more elders who had the power to kill her, so she only asked someone to send fifty taels of silver and asked Sheng Dazhuang to go back to treat his father's illness and let his brother go back to school.
He also gave them a recipe for making tofu. As long as the Sheng family was not lazy, they would have no trouble in the future. This could be regarded as repaying Sheng Dalin's father for giving birth to him.
The people who went to contact Sheng Dazhuang were from Hongbinlou. When they learned that the second boss had a tofu recipe, they immediately copied one down. They said they were worried that the second boss had spent money on a fake recipe. Of course, after verification, if the recipe was good, they could teach it back to Sheng Dazhuang personally!
What are the conditions in the countryside and the Sheng family? Even if he were asked to take the prescription back, he might not be willing to spend money to conduct repeated experiments.
After all, it costs a lot of money to buy those accessories. If Sheng Dalin learns the skills here, he will naturally be willing to spend money to buy food when he returns.
Sheng Dazhuang originally wanted to meet his biological sister, so that he could describe to his parents what his sister looks like now and who she looks like...
But Sheng Yunyou didn't want to see him, and the manager of Hongbinlou didn't want to expose his second owner, so he just told him to learn the craft well and go back to live a good life.
Sheng Dazhuang was a young man who was willing to learn and hardworking. He mastered the skills after two days of study. The kitchen staff asked him to make two pots of tofu by himself. When they saw that there was no problem, they reported to the manager, who found a car to take him away.
The steward then found the chief steward Yang Yongfeng. Yang Yongfeng was on business in Tianhu Mountain during this period. Although it was more than 30 miles away from the city, the place was at a critical juncture. He held the most important link of the formula in his hands, and he could not do without him.
Knowing that his master was coming back to attend the funeral, he was anxious but could not leave his post without permission.
He has only been back for two days and there is already a lot of work piled up in the shop. He hasn't had the time to show up yet!
Yang Yongfeng sighed when he heard those things. His master had been caught up in all these troubles. Fortunately, the Sheng family over there were sensible and did not push their limits, otherwise he would have to deal with them before he could get to his master's side!
And as for the Sheng Mansion, huh, he's just waiting to take advantage of the situation!
On the other hand, the first thing the two uncles of the Zhao family did when they returned to the city was to find the eldest brother who was the head of the family and tell him everything that had happened during this period in detail.
After hearing his two younger brothers say that they wanted to break off the engagement, the nephew still insisted on asking the Zhao family to issue a letter of forgiveness to save the vicious woman. The eldest uncle of the Zhao family sighed and said, "In that case, let's break off the engagement!
After you leave, he will definitely find a way to rescue that vicious woman...
Now that he has made his choice, I just hope he won’t regret it.”
After talking about Sheng Baicheng, they mentioned Sheng Boyong again, and finally Sheng Yunyou, "That child, we left in a hurry, and we didn't know she had prepared so many things!"
Uncle Zhao nodded, "I didn't expect my little sister to have taught such a delicate person."
He sighed and continued, "If she needs anything in the future, I'll help her as much as I can. As for Bai Yong, if he comes to me for help, I'll do it for him if it's not difficult."
In fact, Uncle Zhao had a good impression of Sheng Boyong before, but after the incident with his sister this time, he was very disappointed with this nephew. If he had not been cowardly and dared not compete with his brother and sister-in-law to protect his mother, the vicious woman would not have dared to be so aggressive and disrespectful to her mother-in-law.
But after all, she is my sister’s bloodline. I have already given up one, so I should just stay away from the other one!
Then he thought of Bo Luojin's uncle and nephew, and said, "Have someone clean up the yard. It will probably be the next two days before Bo's nephew comes over."
"Brother, our grandson of the Bo family thinks highly of Yun You. I'm afraid he still has some time to take care of the girl!"
Uncle Zhao had a neither-good nor-bad impression of Sheng Yunyou. He thought she was loyal but also a bit scheming. However, in a den of wolves like the Sheng family, if she didn't have some scheming, she would have been eaten alive long ago.
Uncle Zhao smiled and shook his head, "Just wait and see!"
People in the front yard of the Zhao family were talking about the Sheng family, and the same topic was being discussed in the back yard.
The old man of the Zhao family was a long-lived man. He passed away three years ago. The current head of the family, Mr. Zhao, is over sixty years old this year and has already become a great-grandfather.
The old man was once a third-rank official, but later retired and returned to his hometown to teach. For various reasons, he suppressed his descendants from taking up official positions. This is one of the reasons why the Zhao family has a very high status in Qingzhou Prefecture but a low reputation.
The Zhao family has a rule that does not allow concubines, unless a man is over 30 years old and his wife still has not given birth to a son.
But even so, the Zhao family is still prosperous.
The old man himself had five children, three sons and two daughters. After his younger brother and sister-in-law died, he took over the care of his four nephews.
The old man taught his children well, and the nine children were humble and respectful to each other and were very united and friendly. Even now, the eldest brother still lives together without separating the property.
The poor sister-in-law mentioned by several female relatives also sighed repeatedly. No one agreed with the sister-in-law marrying into the Zhao family back then, but the sister-in-law was very conservative despite her young age.
At that time, the old man had just retired and returned to his hometown. The father and son of the Sheng family, one was attracted by the beauty and the other wanted to use the Zhao family's connections to develop his career, and they hit it off and designed a drama of a hero saving a beauty.
The method was crude and old-fashioned but it worked. Even after she found out the truth and knew that the Sheng family was not a good match, the sister-in-law still insisted on marrying him because she felt that she had lost her innocence after being hugged by the man. In her opinion, if she did not marry that man, a woman like her should die.
Between losing their daughter and marrying her to the wrong man, the Zhao family had no choice but to choose the former.
At that time, the Sheng family had already moved to the provincial capital. The Zhao family thought that they should prepare a generous dowry so that they would be watching over it, and the life of the younger daughter (younger sister) should not be too bad.
As a result, the father and son of the Sheng family had many crooked ideas but average business talent. They failed to expand their business in the provincial capital but blamed the Zhao family for not working hard. Also, because they offended someone, the Sheng family moved back to Anping City in disgrace after less than two years in the provincial capital.
The Zhao family was a family that could never make it on its own. After the only famous old man passed away three years ago, the short-sighted people in the Sheng family believed that the Zhao family had fallen into decline and could never make it on its own again. So Li no longer took her as her mother-in-law seriously.
The nanny who was sent was also an old lady in the mansion. Because she was not careful for a moment, Li took advantage of the opportunity and harmed the young aunt. After the funeral, she returned to the Zhao Mansion to apologize.
Combined with the news brought back by the two masters of the Zhao family, the female members of the family had an extremely bad impression of the Sheng family.
Old Madam Zhao was also a sentimental person. When she heard that the things her brother-in-law brought back were given by Miss Sheng, she immediately asked someone to throw them away. The servants explained that it was Sheng Yunyou who gave her the things, so she accepted them.
The old lady sighed and asked, "I heard that girl is engaged to be the eldest grandson of the Bo family?"
"Yes, the young master of the Bo family likes Miss Sheng very much..." The steward who went with them recounted everything he saw and heard in detail.
Madam Zhao nodded, "That girl is a blessed one."
After a few words, he asked again, "Did she go to look for her biological parents?"
She also held the same idea that a peasant girl was better than an orphan girl, and thought that if the person there was not too bad of character, Sheng Yunyou should support her, so that she could have a future.
The steward shook his head and said, "Ms. Sheng doesn't seem to be in charge of things. It's all the young master who takes care of things for her."
Madam Zhao sighed when she heard this, turned around and said to her sister-in-law, "How long can you rely on a man's favor? I hope she is smarter than my little sister."
If I were a dodder, I’m afraid my future life would be worse than my little sister’s!
