"If you don't change your marriage or not, don't you have to say it?" As soon as Mrs. Xie said this, it was like throwing a stone into a lake, and it immediately caused a wave in the heart of Empress Dowager Ye.

Truly! As long as there is the archway of chastity still there, Mrs. Izuku will suppress herself from the bottom of her heart, and she will not be tempted to like her son! Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Ye suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but say to herself: "It seems that it should indeed be smashed." ”

She didn't speak loudly, but Mrs. Tai still heard it, so she also raised her eyebrows and said, "Smashed?" If it is smashed, how will the Queen Mother explain to the saint? My Yun clan didn't even keep my own archway, how can I save face? ”

As she spoke, she fiddled with the Buddha beads in her hand, and said very simply: "If the Queen Mother smashes this archway, she will slap the face of the saint and my Yun clan at the same time, and the old body will never allow such a thing to happen!" ”

As soon as Mrs. Tai's words came out, Empress Dowager Ye had to be cautious. yes! Although the Heavenly Emperor was raised under her knees, he was not his own child after all, and the relationship between this son and her was also very delicate...... She must not give the Heavenly Emperor any handle at this time and put herself in the quagmire of power schemes.

Empress Dowager Ye's expression fell into the eyes of Mrs. Tai, who was already a little more sure, and chuckled: "How can the Empress Dowager be confused?" The archway of chastity, but it didn't say that it had to be given. ”

Empress Dowager Ye raised her head suddenly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Mrs. Tai smiled again: "Maybe this archway was given to Xiu in Yingyuan Palace, but the real will only said that it was given to the four arches of the Yun family, and it was not said who this archway of chastity was for." It's just that there was a will at that time, canonizing Xiu as a 'first-class protector of the country', so the world will take it for granted that this archway is for Xiu. ”

At this point, Mrs. Ye suddenly said: "You mean ......?"

"The old body is saying that there is more than one widow in the Yun family. The old widow has lived for twenty years, supporting the Yun family alone, what's the matter? Isn't this worth a chastity archway? Mrs. Tai squinted her eyes and looked at Empress Dowager Ye meaningfully.

"You're right!" Empress Dowager Ye almost clapped her hands in admiration. Why didn't you remember this curve? On the contrary, it reminded Xie Shudan? Empress Dowager Ye was negative in her heart, and she was faintly happy for her beloved son, so she said: "Then there is nothing to worry about now, you go and tell your daughter-in-law and let her go to King Cheng's Mansion to take care of King Cheng immediately!" ”

"The Queen Mother's words are wrong. The archway of chastity is the archway of chastity, out of Xiu is out of Xiu, let's say that the archway in a good manner, why do you want to pull out of Xiu? Mrs. Tai was obviously reluctant to let go.

Empress Dowager Ye's heart sank when she heard this, and her face was also a little annoyed: "Mrs. Xie, are you playing tricks on the mourning family?" ”

"The Queen Mother is too worried." Mrs. Tai is neither humble nor arrogant: "Who is the arch of chastity given, only you and I are here to talk about it, and the world still thinks that this archway is given to Xiu." So how could she be willing to remarry? There must also be a burden in the heart. ”

"I've taught you all the truths and backs!" Empress Dowager Ye slapped the table and looked impatient: "What conditions do you want to propose, hurry up and give a happy word!" You can wait, my son's life can't wait! After decades of fighting, don't fake it anymore! ”

"The Queen Mother, don't be impatient." Mrs. Tai saw that Empress Dowager Ye finally couldn't pretend anymore, so she smiled slowly: "The old body came up with a plan, not only does not have to smash this archway, but also solves the dilemma of Xiu." ”

"Don't sell it, you have something to say!" Empress Dowager Ye didn't want to disguise it anymore, and wrote all her dissatisfaction with Mrs. Tai on her face, and her delicate face sank a little, and her color changed a few times.

Mrs. Tai still smiled calmly, and became more and more unhurried: "What the old body means is that since it is rare for you to come to Yanlan City, and Feng Jia is coming to our mansion in person, you can write an inscription yourself." Presumably if you write a few words on the archway of chastity, the saint will not put a beak. ”

"What do you write?" Empress Dowager Ye seems to understand.

"The old body and the Queen Mother have known each other since they were boudoirs, and it has been decades so far. When you came to visit your 'old friend' in our house, you felt that the old widow was living in difficulty, and asked a few words of emotion. ”

Mrs. Tai's above words finally made Empress Dowager Ye understand, she was overjoyed in her heart, and couldn't help but exclaim: "You're right!" The will does not say to whom the arch of chastity was given. As long as the mourning family is inscribed on the head, it will be confirmed that this archway is for you, and has nothing to do with Mrs. Xiu! ”

Empress Dowager Ye stood up excitedly and began to pace back and forth in the hall, as if she was considering what words to inscribe. After thinking for a while, he blurted out impromptu:

"A wealthy businessman, twenty years of women's executive hall.

Jielie can be the model of the world, and thousands of generations will compete for generations. ”

"A rich and benevolent businessman" refers to Yunfu undoubtedly; "Twenty years of women's ruling hall" undoubtedly refers to Mrs. Xie, who has been widowed for 20 years. Only this one 'twenty' word is enough to show who the object of praise of this poem is, and as long as this poem is engraved on the white marble pillar of the chastity archway, it is to invisibly tell the world that the owner of this archway is not Mrs. Xiu, but Mrs. Xie!

That's a brilliant plan! It will not save the face of the Emperor of Heaven, but also solve the dilemma of Mrs. Xiu's observance! Empress Dowager Ye recited this poem back and forth, and the more she thought about it, the more she was amazed.

Mrs. Tai also echoed with a smile: "Thanks to the Empress Dowager's inscription poem, the old body is flattered." ”

Empress Dowager Ye came back to her senses and glanced at her: "If it weren't for King Cheng, the mourning family would have inscribed a poem for you?" Cheap for you! ”

Mrs. Tai didn't say anything more, picked up the tea cup on the table, and took a sip with her sleeves folded. It was this action that had well concealed her thoughts, so Empress Dowager Ye had never seen how Mrs. Tai's wide silk trimmed gold silk sleeves were smiling successfully.

Empress Dowager Ye still recalled the poems she had improvised and said, "Quickly let people come in with pen and paper!" The mourning family has a bad memory when they are old, and they should forget it all in a moment. ”

Mrs. Tai gave an order outside, and the housekeeper Yun Feng immediately prepared a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and sent it in. Empress Dowager Ye didn't lie at the desk, so she took the tray in Yun Feng's hand, sprinkled a big pen, and wrote out Fang Cai's poem silently, during which she did not forget to reprimand Yun Feng: "You hold the tray steady!" ”

In a moment, a poem is finished. Empress Dowager Ye read it herself, thought about it, and reluctantly added a title: "On the fifteenth day of July in the first year of Heavenly Grant, I reunited with Mrs. Xie in Yunfu, so I wrote this poem to praise its martyrdom."

After writing, he put down his pen and said to Yun Feng: "Tell Zhang Chunxi, pass on the message of the mourning family, and immediately engrave this poem on the archway of Yun's chastity!" ”

Yun Feng didn't dare to ask more, and quietly glanced at Mrs. Tai, and when he saw Mrs. Tai nodding slightly, he bowed down to accept the order, and respectfully withdrew to pass the word.

Empress Dowager Ye fiddled with her sleeves and snorted coldly: "You housekeeper is very loyal." ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and did not speak.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Ye gritted her teeth again: "It's really cheap for you, let the mourning family give you a poem for no reason!" but it has fulfilled the name of thy martyrdom! ”

Mrs. Tai still smiled and groaned, and she didn't see any anger, but said: "The old body has thanked the Queen Mother for her grace." ”

Empress Dowager Ye waved her hand impatiently, sat back in her position, and said, "There is no obstacle now, you nod and let Mrs. Xiu remarry." ”

"The old body never stopped her from remarrying." Mrs. Tai smiled back: "It is she who is willing to guard the Yun family." ”

"She also has a bit of temperament, no wonder Xiao'er likes her." Empress Dowager Ye said so, but said on her face: "Since you don't stop it, then you let her pack up and go back to the Chengwang Mansion with the mourning family today." ”

"Today?" Mrs. Tai pretended to be surprised.

"What? Will it be ten or eight years from now? Empress Dowager Ye stiffened her face: "Yunfu can let her wear gold and silver, eat and drink well, and Chengwangfu will naturally not snub her." Although it is not as rich as the Yun family, it is more than enough to raise her a concubine. ”

"Concubine?" Mrs. Tai pretended to frown, and her voice sank again.

Empress Dowager Ye smiled: "She is a widow, do you still expect to be the concubine of King Cheng?" Allowing her a side concubine position should also be satisfied? ”

"The head of the Yun family, going to be a concubine for King Cheng?" This time it was Mrs. Tai's turn to be very dissatisfied.

"It's not for her to remarry in the name of 'Mrs. Chuxiu', so naturally I have to change her name and surname." Empress Dowager Ye raised her hand and pulled the hair hanging from her ears, and continued: "She was born as a maidservant, and she was only righted after your son's death. How? has been a housewife for a few years, and she can't let go of her body? King Cheng doesn't care about her widowhood, what else does she want? No matter how many deep ladies ask for it, they can't ask for it! ”

"Then you better let the 'deep lady' take care of King Cheng." Mrs. Tai's face was uncertain, and she opened her mouth to fight back: "Izuxiu is the daughter-in-law of my Yun family, and the old body has long regarded her as half a daughter. If she remarries, she must marry King Cheng and welcome her with the gift of Princess Cheng. If she is asked to be a little concubine, this is not only an insult to her, but also an insult to the Yun family and Ci'er. ”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Ye sneered: "Let the widow of the Yun family be the princess of Cheng?" Xie Shudan, are you confused? Where is King Cheng's face? My son is going to pick up what's left of your son? You've got a lot to think about! ”

Mrs. Tai still insisted on her opinion: "If you remarry after leaving Xiu, you will naturally change your name and surname, and you will never remarry in your current identity." The queen mother can find an important minister to accept her as her daughter, and then marry King Cheng in style. ”

"Phew!" Empress Dowager Ye was extremely annoyed when she heard this, and slapped Mrs. Tai fiercely: "If she changes her name and surname, she is also the widow of the Yun family!" What's the difference? The mourning family still lost the inside! ”

The more Empress Dowager Ye spoke, the more indignant she became: "It is already a great honor to allow her to be the concubine, and she still wants to be the daughter-in-law of the mourning family?" Xie Shudan, hello, will plan to plate! If you do what you want today, won't the mourning family be ridden by you for the rest of your life! ”

Empress Dowager Ye was so angry that her face was flushed at this time, but Mrs. Tai's expression was as usual, but her voice was a little cold: "Since the Empress Dowager is stubborn, it is inappropriate for the old body to talk to you." The matter had to be left at that. ”

With a "snap", Empress Dowager Ye brushed her sleeves and threw the tea cup on the ground: "I just got the inscription poem of the mourning family, and you immediately turned your face." Xie Shudan, did you do it on purpose? ”
