Chapter 275 My mother-in-law is a loyal servant (19)
Boom! Boom!
In the morning, the sun was just right, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road. The drum of injustice outside Jingzhao Mansion was beaten loudly.
The governor of Jingzhao is a good and upright official. When he hears the grievance drum, he immediately orders someone to go to court.
"The old slave's surname is Zhao, and he is the slave of Zhang, the wife of the Marquis of Pingnan!"
Aunt Zhao knelt respectfully in the hall, holding a complaint in both hands and raising it high above her head.
Yin Gao of Jingzhao Mansion was sitting in the hall, and when he heard the words "Pingnan Marquis Mansion", he was shocked.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Marquis Pingnan, but that recently, this Marquis had stirred up troubles in the capital and attracted everyone's attention.
After missing for seven or eight years, he suddenly returned, bringing several barbarian leaders with him as souvenirs.
He used his actual actions to clear up the charges he had been falsely accused of, and also achieved new military exploits.
Emperor Chengtai was overjoyed and felt a little guilty towards Marquis Pingnan.
However, Pingnanhou did not resent Emperor Chengtai. Instead, he said respectfully that "thunder and rain are all the grace of the emperor" and helped the emperor find excuses for "the saint has also been deceived by the villain."
Yes, how could the emperor be wrong? Even if he killed the hero by mistake, it was still the work of a traitor.
Therefore, the "villain" in Pingnanhou's mouth reported back then, oh no, he falsely accused Pingnanhou's lieutenant, and was directly sentenced to beheading by the "furious" Emperor Chengtai, and his family members were exiled.
Everything that happened to Pingnanhou Mansion that day was experienced by the family members of that "little man".
It can also be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect, with unfulfilled retribution.
The saint re-consecrated Marquis Pingnan as a marquis and rewarded him with a mansion in the capital.
In addition, other people in the Hou Mansion were also pardoned.
Marquis Pingnan rode on horseback with great fanfare to take the concubine who was living abroad back to the marquis mansion. Of course, there were also Mrs. Zhang and other female family members.
Mother and son, when husband and wife meet, they naturally ask each other for peace and express their sincere feelings to each other.
After taking back his relatives, Marquis Pingnan began to beat gongs and drums to thank those who had helped his female relatives.
For example, Feng Zhongliang and his wife are well-known righteous people.
Well, you can't say that he is a loyal servant. After all, Feng Zhongliang has long since escaped from slavery.
However, such an old slave spent all his wealth to help the female family members of the Hou family, and also worked hard to support Mrs. Zhang and others.
Even though Marquis Pingnan had just returned to Beijing, he had heard several versions of the rumors about a loyal servant (Mama Zhao) and a righteous man (Feng Zhongliang and his wife) in the Marquis' mansion.
Whether it is because of genuine gratitude or for the sake of reputation and dignity, Marquis Pingnan must thank and repay others.
Especially when Pingnanhou later heard that Feng Zhongliang's wife, Gu, actually found a way to send her eldest daughter Wei Yuanniang to Qingyun Temple, Pingnanhou's impression of "Gu Xiuniang" became even better.
Don't think that now that the saint has restored the title of Pingnan Marquis, he will also double the compensation and rewards.
In fact, Marquis Pingnan knew very well that Emperor Chengtai was still wary of him.
In the future, if Marquis Pingnan returns to the southwest and continues to command the Southwest Army, Emperor Chengtai will still find ways to gather military power and suppress Marquis Pingnan's mansion.
If there is a noble person in the capital, there is no need to be too partial to Pingnan Hou. When Emperor Chengtai wants to take action, it would be great to help him to make peace or to give a warning to the Hou family.
As for the Huayang Temple Master of Qingyun Temple, she needs a status and a holy favor. If she can establish a relationship with her, it will definitely be very beneficial to the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Being able to raise his own daughter in front of Master Huayang and have the opportunity to meet the saint, Marquis Pingnan couldn't help but praise "Gu Xiuniang" from the bottom of his heart - well done!
For a moment, Marquis Pingnan even felt that "Gu Xiuniang", an ordinary woman from an old servant's family, had more foresight and planning than Madam Zhang, the Marquis.
Marquis Pingnan does not dislike Mrs. Zhang. To be fair, Marquis Pingnan is grateful and guilty to Mrs. Zhang.
In any case, when the Hou Mansion was in trouble, Mrs. Zhang did not "fly separately when the disaster came", but shared the adversity with the Hou Mansion.
Feng Zhongliang is also a slave under the name of Madam Zhang, and all his achievements can be attributed to Madam Zhang.
Not to mention, while Mrs. Zhang and her daughter were suffering, he married another woman.
Although Ping Nanhou did not do this intentionally, he did owe his wife emotionally and morally.
Marquis Pingnan was grateful to Mrs. Zhang and would treat her well in the future, but to be honest, Marquis Pingnan was not very satisfied with some of Mrs. Zhang's performances.
Not to mention anything else, Mrs. Zhang seriously neglected her duty when it came to Wei Yuanniang's upbringing. She was worse than "Gu Xiuniang", a girl from a small family.
Yes, Ping Nanhou did not value his daughter as much as he did his son.
But the eldest daughter is also very important to a family.
If you are well educated, you can still help your family!
Mrs. Zhang——
Alas, fortunately, Mrs. Zhang herself is not capable enough, but she has a good slave.
This good slave married a good daughter-in-law. Finally, their Yuan Niang was not wasted because of the past few years, and she even embarked on the road to success.
No, after Ping Nanhou returned to Beijing, he took Mrs. Tai and others back to his mansion, and then took the time to visit Qingyun Temple and pay homage to the Master of Huayang Temple.
When they met for the first time, the two sides could only exchange some polite words, but in the end they got in touch.
Moreover, there is Wei Yuanniang between them. If they want to "cooperate" in the future, there will be no bridge.
In addition, Wei Yuanniang herself also gave Ping Nanhou a surprise.
After a few years of not seeing each other, the originally fair and plump little girl has turned into a graceful and elegant little beauty.
There is no market spirit, but the pride and confidence unique to the aristocratic family.
With outstanding appearance, good temperament, and careful guidance from Master Huayang, Marquis Ping Nan felt that it would be easy for his daughter to marry the prince!
When Ping Nanhou left Qingyun Temple, he had some ambitions in his heart.
However, before Marquis Ping Nan could take the opportunity to plan something, Aunt Zhao went to Jingzhao Mansion to voice her grievances!
"...Zhao, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. You, say it again!"
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin leaned forward and stared at Aunt Zhao in disbelief with a pair of tiger eyes.
It wasn't that he didn't hear what Aunt Zhao said clearly, but that he felt incredible.
If there wasn't a trace of reason left to remind him, Jingzhao Prefecture would even want to raise his eyes and look around——
yes!
This is my Jingzhao Mansion!
It’s not a theater in the East Market, nor a tea house in the West Market.
No one sings operas, no one tells stories, but some people surrender themselves!
But, but, why do the words of this old slave woman sound so ridiculous?
The governor of Jingzhao felt that even the opera troupes in the east and west cities and the storytellers could not write such a story.
"You said you secretly exchanged Mrs. Pingnanhou's son?"
Stealing a dragon and turning into a phoenix? A civet cat for a prince?
Jingzhao Fuyin said while shaking his head in his heart.
impossible!
It's simply impossible.
Where is the Hou Mansion?
When the mother of the house gives birth, how many people are there to serve her?
Aunt Zhao is a wet nurse, even if she has some connections, she can't hide everything...
