221: "The General's Wife"
The courtyard where Mo Zhenzhen lives is the courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion for ordinary heirs, there are several courtyards in a row, and with the same specifications, only this one courtyard is inhabited.
Mo Xiang saw that the yard was destroyed and almost uninhabitable, so he directly ordered the steward who followed him to clean up Tianxiangyuan and let Mo Zhenzhen move over there to live.
Tianxiangyuan is different from this kind of courtyard with the same regulation, there is a lake, a pavilion, and a small garden.
Tianxiangyuan is the place where Mo Xiang's mother lived before her death, it has been empty for decades, and the annual repair is a big price, and the scenery and comfort of living there can be imagined.
So when Mo Zhenzhen was 'unconscious', she changed her 'home' and was moved to Tianxiangyuan.
There are ready-made furniture in Tianxiangyuan, and when they carry Mo Zhenzhen, they pay attention not to let Mo Zhenzhen see the wind, and treat Mo Zhenzhen as a porcelain doll.
And Mo Xiang glanced at Mo Zhenzhen, who was in a coma, and after listening to the old doctor's illness, he began to let people start to set up incense cases and prepare to receive orders.
Sometimes you can't pretend to be stupid, like now, if you don't act positively, it will look hypocritical.
Sure enough, with only half a cup of tea, the holy decree came out of the palace.
This holy decree is for Mo Zhenzhen, and Mo Zhenzhen is the holy decree of the first lady.
Before, Mo's was a second-rank edict, but this time when he came back, Zuo Dingmin was promoted to a general (from the first grade), and he did not apply for a decree for Mo Zhenzhen.
But now that the holy decree has been issued, Mo Zhenzhen has become a first-class order, and in terms of grade, Mo Zhenzhen is half a level higher than Zuo Dingmin.
Because Mo Zhenzhen was still in a coma and the emperor in the palace had already ordered him, this holy decree was received by Mo Xiang for Mo Zhenzhen.
After receiving the holy decree, he still needs to enter the palace to thank him, and Mo Zhenzhen obviously can't enter the palace in that situation, and Mo Xiang, who has not changed his court clothes, directly followed the person who delivered the decree into the palace to thank him.
Everyone knows why they entered the palace this time.
Don't look at Mo Xiang's age, the current emperor really wants to keep Mo Xiang for a little more time, it's best to let him work in this position until he dies.
Before, Mo Xiang shirked and wanted to sue the old man, but the emperor was unwilling, but now with such a situation, the emperor has a new way of persuasion.
The emperor reasoned with Mo Xiang's facts, and vaguely told him about the harm of being remembered by monsters, and the protection that the position of prime minister could bring to his family.
Mo Xiang is not afraid of those demons and monsters, but his daughter and his wife must be afraid.
The emperor asked Mo Xiang to think again.
Mo Xiang sat in the chair without saying a word, and after a while, his straight back seemed to be bent, and finally thanked the emperor for his 'understanding'.
Mo Xiang compromised, and the emperor felt very pleased, so he followed Mo Xiang back to the house with the reward of the emperor and empress.
Everything is given to Mo Zhenzhen, this is to raise the identity of Mo Xiang's only daughter.
Mo Xiang didn't show his attention to this only daughter before, and he ordered her out before the right age, and didn't give others a chance at all.
Looking at it now, Mo Xiang doesn't look like a person who doesn't care for his daughter, and his previous performance may be that he didn't want his only daughter to mix in the right and wrong of the court, so he chose such an 'ordinary' son-in-law.
Now that he has experienced so many things, Mo Xiang's 'hidden' has been exposed, and the dignity he should have is still given to Mo's.
This is also to save face for Mo Xiang.
And Zuo Dingmin broke out in a cold sweat after hearing that Mo Zhenzhen had been promoted to the rank of the edict and had been rewarded by the palace.
Now what? There is no other way but to ask for forgiveness.
Zuo Dingmin returned to the General's Mansion in advance, firstly, to see how was going in the General's Mansion, and secondly, to get some treasures to make amends.
Now Zuo Dingmin is sitting in the lobby listening to the report of the people below, and after touching his face, he said.
"Go and send all the women in the backyard to Zhuangzi."
The steward who reported to Zuo Dingmin didn't understand, and looked at Zuo Dingmin blankly, not knowing what Zuo Dingmin meant.
Fortunately, Zuo Dingmin did not have the habit of anger, and his emotions were stable in places like the battlefield, so he repeated it again.
"Send those women in the backyard to Zhuangzi, and don't let Madame see them."
Look, even the men of this era know that the existence of concubines will make Mrs. Zhengfu feel uncomfortable, but they don't change it, because they don't need to care about Mrs. Zhengfu's mood, whether it will hurt her mood, what she thinks, these men don't care, they just need to be happy themselves, and the ladies will adjust it themselves.
It doesn't delay them anything, and there is no need for them to worry about anything.
But now Zuo Dingmin didn't dare to do it so blatantly, because Mo's status was rising at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and Mo Zhenzhen was not blessed by his light, but was driven by her father.
And he, the husband, even had the opposite effect in this.
Zuo Dingmin can't continue to unscrupulously provoke Mo's unhappiness, he needs to coax her well, only by letting Mo's heart and him be of one mind, can he continue to be courteous in front of his father-in-law.
Zuo Dingmin knew that if he got up at this time, it would only annoy Mo Xiang.
Zuo Dingmin, who had made up his mind, saw that the steward was still not moving, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Don't you understand? Don't go yet. ”
The steward hesitated to answer, and then walked away in three steps and two times, as if he didn't understand why Zuo Dingmin would make such a decision.
Zuo Dingmin sent this steward away, and when he turned around, he began to choose what to give to Mo Zhenzhen.
The things that were originally stored in the General's Mansion are obviously not successful, after all, the husband and wife are one, as the head of the General's Mansion, the things in the warehouse are not hers, and using the things in this kind of library to please Mo's is the same as giving her Mo's things, revealing an annoying sense of immediacy.
Fortunately, Zuo Dingmin still has a batch of things that he brought back this time and haven't had time to put into storage.
At the beginning, Mo Zhenzhen left with someone as soon as Zuo Dingmin came back, so Mo Zhenzhen really didn't know about these things, but he also gave Zuo Dingmin a chance.
The bulk of the things is still silver, and Zuo Dingmin didn't want to hand it all over to Mo's at the beginning.
But now it's clearly not going to work.
Even a general is short of breath if he has no money, but if he doesn't give up these things, his position will be in jeopardy.
Therefore, Zuo Dingmin didn't hesitate, packed all the things, went to change the court clothes by himself, carefully selected clothes and accessories, and cleaned himself up, looking heroic and handsome, and then kicked the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a gift.
When Zuo Dingmin came, he attracted a lot of people's attention, and everyone was speculating about how Mo Xiang would treat this son-in-law, and then not surprisingly, Zuo Dingmin was slapped.
