In Zhang's house, Zhang Sanniang and his wife were still sitting in the old marquis's house listening to music and chatting, and it could be seen that the old man was very happy, and Sanniangzi's children were also there, surrounded by children and grandchildren, but they were rich. Seeing them come back, Zhang San and his wife got busy.

"Why is it so late, I thought you would come back after closing the city gate." Zhang Sanniang said busily.

"Go to Brother Lu Xian's house for a while, and make an appointment to go to their old lady's house." Zhang Qian hurriedly explained to his sister and turned to his father, "Dad, the eldest princess greets you, and I'm worried that there is no one at home." ”

"But it made her worry about it, and it made her tormented the minister." The old marquis smiled at Shi Niang.

"She's sorry for you, I've been going back for three days and two times, she is reluctant to let me go back, and she's afraid that you won't mind. This is talking about the lake! She smiled and poured some hot fruit wine for the old man, and smiled deliberately.

"That's good, people, it's you who make me, I make you in the lake, I'm willing to spend time in the lake to get you, that's because I have you in my heart, change people, see if I have that time, spirit." The old man shook his head.

Shi Niang's heart moved, and she thought, "Dad, do you know about Mrs. Zhongyi's angry beating of the drum?" ”

You must know that there are many people in the world who know Mrs. Zhongyi, but there are few people who know that Mrs. Zhongyi is a real mother, of course, it is also a long time, like the younger generation, even Mrs. Zhongyi is afraid that she doesn't know.

"I know, I know." Zhang Sanniang said busily.

"How do you know?" Zhang Qian glared at his sister.

"When my mother was alive, she often told us about it, but of course, she didn't tell it to you. However, if you ask our four sisters, you will hear a lot. County Lord, why do you ask this? Zhang Sanniang said hurriedly.

"I just heard about it today, so I'm busy asking my father. What the hell was going on in the first place! Shi Niang thought about it and looked at Zhang Sanniang, she knew Wu Niang's version, but the world knows that there is a problem with the angle of telling the story. Wu Niangzi stood on her own point of view and said that the problem was always a little extreme. Although she will stand on her Wuniang's side no matter what, she also wants to know what the outside world said at that time.

At that time, there were many rumors in the market that the world was stricter with women, and Mrs. Zhongyi supported her husband with her own hands and served her in-laws, and she was also a well-known virtuous woman, but I heard that she had a very pungent temperament, and she thought that she was meritorious, and she commanded everyone in her husband's family, so that her husband, in-laws, parents, and brothers could not raise their heads. Later, her husband scolded a few words, she splashed and rolled, did not forgive, and finally beat the drum, so that the husband's family could not raise their heads, and even their mother's family no longer recognized her, and the royal family could only sentence them to peace. The old man smiled and said casually.

"Daddy!" Zhang Sanniang screamed.

"Of course, the county lord has to listen to the rumors in the market before he can listen to the inside story!" Aunt Zhang San understood, and grabbed his wife with a smile.

"So you're talking about the mainstream rumors at the time?"

"Yes, although the officials on the Wupin level know what is going on, but the mouth of the people is like the defense of Sichuan, where can the common people know so much, it's just that the people are the same as the clouds." The old man sighed softly.

"And what's really going on?"

"Actually, I'm not sure if it's true, and I'm not qualified to go to court, but Mrs. Chen beat the drums angrily, and everyone knows that it is because at that time, many people saw that Mrs. Chen was injured when she went to beat the drums. She actually escaped from the Chen family. The old man sighed softly, "When Mrs. Chen went to the palace gate to beat the drum, there were still family members who stopped her, saying that she had gone crazy. But since the court law has been knocked, it will never let people complain, so there is a future. They fought all the way to the palace gate, even if they wanted to, they couldn't hide it. ”

"Then why didn't anyone cure the Chen family's crimes?" Zhang Qian's eyes widened.

If the fifth lady escaped from the Chen family, then it would not be angry at all and beat the drum, thinking deeply. It's that the Chen family first wants to treat Wu Niang to death, and if Wu Niang wants to save her life, she has to put her to death and live later.

"What about the evidence? I have to say that Mrs. Zhongyi is very smart, she was beaten by the board, and then when she faced the saint, she said that her husband was going to divorce his wife, and she was still saying to the emperor when she was dying, the courtiers were not convinced! The old man shook his head with a smile and looked at Zhang Sanniang, "See, your mother told you, where is the point, you obviously didn't see it." ”

"She was beaten out, and the people all over the street saw it. If you go to check, is it difficult to find out? The third lady said hurriedly.

"It was her mother's brother who pulled her at that time, but there was nothing to do with the Chen family. It's really all clear, she will still be Mrs. Chen at that time, what is waiting for her? In fact, what is the real situation, when she was beaten, everyone was the same as you, and they almost guessed it. Just wait for Mrs. Chen to speak, and then think of a way for him. But everyone didn't expect that what she said was that her husband was going to divorce her, saying that she shouldn't do business, and she would lose the face of the eunuchs. As soon as he said this, even Lord Chen, who was a saint, could not deny it, and could only say that he was distressed by his wife, and now he could support his family, so that his wife would no longer compete with the people. It's a piece of kindness! ”

"My favorite part of this passage is that Mrs. Zhongyi was obviously covered in blood, but she got up and said, 'I am worthy of heaven and earth, and I make money in business, so that my husband will not be troubled by mundane things, and I will serve the country and the people wholeheartedly; Let the in-laws enjoy their old age in peace, with fine clothes and food, and live up to their hard work for half a lifetime; Nurture the only son to be motivated, so that he can become a useful person in the court, and the courtiers don't know what they are wrong. If Lord Chen dislikes it like this, then the courtiers will ask for peace and leave, and they will have nothing to do with the Chen family and the Cai family from now on! Zhang Sanniang hurriedly said loudly.

Shi Niang felt that her whole body was cold, and Zhang Qian hurriedly poured her a glass of hot wine and gently rubbed her shoulder.

"Mrs. Zhongyi is really a god." Zhang Qian said softly.

"Right, right! In that case, she was really brave and strategic, and the Queen Mother was alarmed, saying that since she couldn't go on, it would be good to reconcile. The Chen family is noble, and the household department is sent to analyze the property, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Chen and Cai families. Zhang Sanniang hurriedly said with her eyebrows dancing, "The old lady of the Cai family and the Chen family still wanted to stop them, but how could those people in the household department get along well, and there were still people in the palace at that time, so they directly sealed the house, and then threw a few clothes out and drove the Chen family and the Cai family out." At that time, Lord Chen didn't have access to the official mansion, but lived in the mansion bought by Mrs. Zhongyi. What do they have? All it was a few torn books and a few clothes. ”

"And then?"

"Mrs. Zhongyi donated all the family property to the official good hall, and the house is now a workhouse, and some widows and widows live in it. Mrs. Zhongyi's business is also used to support the lives of these people, but she has done a lot of good things. The old man smiled, "Isn't it a heroine among women?" She also knew that she had really taken the money, but she was afraid that she would be pointed at. Although Mrs. Zhongyi later disappeared in the capital, everyone believed that she would be able to make herself live well, and I heard that the son of the Chen family later went to Bailu Academy, and it could only be Mrs. Zhongyi's doing. ”
