Chapter 1333: In the old house of the Shen family, Cheng Ru is sad but happy
In the old residence of the Shen family!
Although it was just March, this ancient house was already glowing with new vitality! The water in the yard was gurgling, the green willows were like silk, and even unknown flowers were blooming quietly!
Ever since Shen Tang and others left Lin'an for Chengdu, this house has been occupied by Liu Xiangling's mother Cheng Ru! Fortunately, there are many maids and servants in the house, and Shao Muyu's mother Murong Hui also returns to Lin'an from time to time , living in the house for a while, so it can’t be said to be cold.
The sun was just right at this time, and Cheng Ru was too lazy to go back to the house after lunch, so she sat next to the waterside pavilion and took a nap with her eyes squinted.
Cheng Ru is extremely satisfied with her current life! Back then, when her family was ruined and her whole family fled to death, she was even sent to a remote place.
Without Shen Tang, not only would she not have the chance to meet her daughter again, she might even have died in that remote place!
She is just a sinner, who cares?
Fortunately, God is wise, and not only did her daughter marry a rare and good husband in the world, she even got away with it and returned to Lin'an!
Now she not only has enough food to eat, but also has maids to take care of her. It can be said that she is very different from back then.
Regarding Shen Tang's other wives and concubines, although Cheng Ru is Liu Xiangling's mother, she has no dissatisfaction with Shen Tang! This is the way the world is, let alone someone like Shen Tang, who not only has a high status, but also is young. He is handsome and worth a lot of money.
Even among those rich peasants or petty officials in the countryside, which one does not have several wives and concubines?
Moreover, although Shen Tang's other wives and concubines were from a good background, Cheng Ru could also see that Shen Tang not only took her daughter in his heart, but also loved her to the core! So, what dissatisfaction did she have?
The princesses of the Kingdom of Jin and the wealthy pearls of the south of the Yangtze River all treat their daughters as sisters, and their daughters cannot bear any grievance!
I just look forward to when my daughter will be pregnant and give the Shen family a few children, which will be more perfect.
"Old lady..."
Suddenly, a hurried voice woke Cheng Ru up!
She opened her eyes and saw a maid running over in a hurry. Before she got close, the maid hurriedly said, "Old madam, there are many people outside our door. They are the support of the palace, and the left prime minister Master Shi Hao is also among them, saying he is here to deliver a message to our family!"
brush!
Cheng Ru looked shocked and stood up quickly, "What?
Master Shi Hao is passing on an edict?"
As the left prime minister of the imperial court, it is naturally no small matter to come to deliver the decree in person.
Cheng Ru didn't have time to think, and hurriedly ordered the maid, "Quick, open the middle door to greet me, and have someone carry out the incense case. I'll be there soon!"
Soon, the whole courtyard became lively. The maids and servants were all busy, the incense table and other items were arranged neatly, and Cheng Ru came directly to the gate to greet him!
When she came to the door, she happened to see a long line of people walking to the door.
Seeing this battle, Cheng Ru couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in her heart!
Naturally, she knew Shi Hao. When Shen Tang was here, Shi Hao had been here several times.
And the pale-faced man next to Shi Hao, wasn't he the emperor's trusted eunuch?
The one behind the two of them, although not familiar, is also wearing a purple robe and is obviously a great person!
"What's going on here?
Now that my son-in-law is not here, has something happened?"
Cheng Ru muttered in her heart, but there was no sign of panic on her face.
She hurriedly took two steps to stand in front of Shi Hao and the others, saluted respectfully and said, "I am here to pay homage to you sirs. I did not come far to greet you. Please forgive me!"
"Haha..." Wang Quan laughed and stepped forward, "Why do you have to be so polite, old lady? Today, I am here because of a happy event, so I just came to bother you!"
As he spoke, he raised the yellow imperial edict in his hand, "Old Madam, are you not ready to receive the edict?"
Cheng Ru's heart moved, she nodded quickly, turned around and welcomed everyone into the courtyard!
The incense table and other items had already been prepared. King Quan issued the imperial edict, and Cheng Ru led everyone in the mansion to hurriedly bow to him.
"The privy councils of the three provinces jointly served...with the order to recover Liu Hongye and make him the military governor of the country...to be named Wu Lie...to be given the posthumous title of Zhongwu..."
Cheng Ru was a little nervous at first, but when she heard the content of the imperial edict, she couldn't help but froze. When she heard the series of posthumous titles, she already burst into tears and burst into tears!
My master fought to the death for the imperial court back then, but in the end not only did he die in vain, but he was even convicted of a crime. This is undoubtedly an extremely sad and infuriating thing for a person.
It's a pity that this is the final conclusion of the court. What can she, a woman and a child, do?
Now, my master has been rehabilitated. Although it came later, but...
"Master..." Cheng Rubei came out and fell to the ground in despair. He even didn't listen to Wang Quan's words behind him at all.
Although Cheng Ru was a bit rude, neither Wang Quan nor Shi Hao ever blamed him. First of all, this is human nature. Secondly, the reason why Liu Hongye was rehabilitated this time was because His Majesty was trying to appease Shen Tang.
Why do they bother Shen Tang's mother-in-law by talking too much here?
If this is the case, I am afraid that Zhao Shen will not only disapprove, but will even punish them.
When Wang Quan finished speaking, the maid behind Cheng Ru quickly spoke in a low voice, "Old madam, take the order quickly!"
Cheng Ru was startled and knew that she had lost her composure. She quickly suppressed the sadness in her heart and saluted Wang Quan, Shi Hao and others, "I accept the order!"
"I heard the name of my dead husband, so I lost my composure. Please forgive me!"
Wang Quan smiled and personally stepped forward to help Cheng Ru up, "This is human nature. Back then, I also heard about General Liu's reputation, but unfortunately I didn't get to see him! Later, General Liu died, which was really a pity.
Fortunately, your Majesty is wise now, and the other General Liu can be rehabilitated, so the old lady should be happy!"
Cheng Ru nodded vigorously, carefully and respectfully receiving the imperial edict! Then she prostrated towards the palace again, bowed to the emperor from a distance, and then stood up.
"My lords, please come in and have some tea!"
Everyone did not refuse, and followed Cheng Ru into the room to have tea. As for the rest of the people, naturally there were maids who presented them with money one by one!
Shi Hao and others did not stay long. They talked to Cheng Ru for a while, comforted her a few times, and then left!
"Old Madam, although General Liu has passed away, Your Majesty still misses his old friendship, so if you need it, just ask someone to pass on the message!"
Wang Quan smiled.
Shi Hao on the side also nodded, "Yes, Shen Tang and I are not only colleagues, but also friends for many years. If anything happens, you can come to my house at any time. Although General Liu is not here, others cannot bully him!"
The purple-robed official standing behind the two men also stepped forward, "Old madam, I am the Deputy Privy Envoy Diao Hongxin! After that, I will have people deliver all the rewards and compensation from General Liu! We will
The warrior family, Madam, there is no need to be polite!"
