Chapter 485 Gifts
Cui stood outside the door and sighed, saying, "Wife, it's me, are you not asleep yet?"
When Wang heard that it was his mother-in-law, he breathed a sigh of relief. You should know that what he was a young widow was the most feared thing about the door being unclear. Wang asked the maid to open the door and welcome her mother-in-law Cui in.
Wang stood at the door and saw Cui coming in. Yingying bowed and asked in a low voice: "Mother, you haven't slept yet so late?"
When Wang entered the house, she sighed when she saw her daughter-in-law. For her husband's future, she had to sacrifice her.
Wang took his daughter-in-law Cui's hand into the inner room, sat down and asked, "How is your wife doing in recent days? Is her life good?"
"Thank you for your concern, my daughter-in-law is fine! I wonder what's going on with my mother coming so late?"
How could this kind of thing be brought up in front of outsiders? Cui waited until the little maid in the house got tea and went out to the outside house before whispering: "Daughter-in-law, mother-in-law is here to discuss something big today!"
Wang was stunned. He was a widow and his husband died. He had no status at home. What else could he have to discuss with him if he had anything to do with his in-laws?
"Mother, we are all a family. Please tell me if you have any questions!"
Looking at Wang's sincere expression, Cui couldn't open his mouth, but it wouldn't work. Cui agreed to Liu Zhengheng to convince his daughter-in-law, but it was not entirely to preserve the master's position. You must know that Wang is a beautiful little widow, and her husband is famous for being lustful. Now she is watching it tightly, so she didn't make any ugly things to expose her asshole. However, if you are a thief for thousands of days, you might as well take this opportunity to give your daughter-in-law to the bastard emperor, and forget about his thoughts.
Cui gritted his teeth and whispered: "Wife, do you know that the Ming army entered the city in the morning? Now Hangzhou City is in the Ming Dynasty again!"
"Mother, I know this. I heard that there were many people killed on Cross Street. We have nothing to do with our family!"
"Hey! I ask my ancestors for blessing. The master was the new governor of Zhejiang in the same year, so there is no trouble for our family at the moment. But it doesn't mean it's okay now. I'm afraid that someone will think about our family in the future, and everything will be over by then!"
Wang is not a housewife who doesn't know anything. His father was also a second-class Jinshi at that time, and his family was well-known. Wang can be said to be a talented woman. Therefore, Wang is not ignorant of current affairs. As far as she knows, this Shenwu Emperor is not a good person, and he is cruel and ruthless. Perhaps in history, only a few famous foolish monarchs in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms can compare with him.
Wang is now a member of the Liu family. When Cui heard that his family was in danger, he was very anxious and asked quickly: "Mother, what should I do? If I can't, go and ask my father again to say good things in front of the emperor!"
"Daughter-in-law, you don't know that your father was just a common friend of the same year. He was spared from being punished this time. I can still talk to us!"
"Mother, is there really no way?"
"There is no way, but you need your help from my daughter-in-law!"
Wang was stunned when he heard Cui say this. Help yourself? What can a widow help me? But he is already a part of this family, and it is unavoidable to help me!
"Mother, please tell me, if my daughter-in-law can help me, I will never say anything!"
Cui looked at Wang, who was showing his true feelings, and he didn't want to say this, but it was impossible not to say it.
"Wife, you know the Emperor Shenwu Zhu Hongsan. I heard that he is very lustful and likes widows. If you don't, go..."
Before Cui finished speaking, Wang stood up and shouted angrily: "Mother, how can you humiliate your slave so much? You must know that I am for your son. My husband is keeping his rituals. If I ask me to do something to be sorry to my husband, I would rather die!"
Seeing that his daughter-in-law was unwilling, Cui also blushed, and she felt that it was a bit too much. At this moment, the door of the Xiulou building opened and a man rushed in. The little maid at the door was about to stop him, but when she saw the man, she was immediately scared and dared not move. It turned out that the one who rushed in was Wang's father-in-law Liu Zhengheng.
Liu Zhengheng listened for a long time at the entrance of the door and the door. When he heard Wang refuse to agree and said he wanted to seek death, Liu Zhengheng was anxious and didn't care about any etiquette and rushed into the house.
When Liu Zhengheng entered the room, he ignored the others. He knelt in front of Wang and cried bitterly, "Daughter-in-law, even if his father-in-law beg you! You don't know that his father-in-law's colleagues were sent to Luzon, thousands of miles away because they did not satisfy Emperor Shenwu. I heard that the place was a life-saving game, how could he live if he went there! Even if you don't pity our old couple, you should also pity your son and Ling'er!" The son and Ling'er are two illegitimate children of Liu Zhengheng, one is five years old and the other is three years old. It is the age of likable. Wang, as his sister-in-law, likes him very much on weekdays. Liu Zhengheng knew that his daughter-in-law was soft-hearted, so he took out his son and daughter to play the emotional card today.
Cui saw Liu Zhengheng kneeling down to his daughter-in-law shamelessly, and he felt a little bit of pain in his heart, and cried, "Daughter-in-law, have you said you have been to the Liu family for the past few years. Will my mother-in-law give you a little bit of anger? I am even more timid to you than my own girl! Can you see your mother-in-law and father-in-law still suffer in Luzon at such a big age? My wife, please!"
Wang looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law kneeling in front of him, and felt very painful. He said that he was really angry at marrying into the Liu family. His mother-in-law was not as cold as other mother-in-laws. Her husband loved her, younger brothers and sisters were cute, and she lived a very happy life. But she didn't expect that the situation suddenly changed, and her husband died halfway through the exam. Thinking of her miserable fate, Wang couldn't control herself and sat on the chair and cried bitterly!
Seeing his daughter-in-law crying, Liu Zhengheng and his wife kneeling on the ground were so worried. This kind of man and woman matter was in love. If the daughter-in-law was forced to agree, it would have a negative effect. If Wang resented himself after entering the palace and said something bad about him in front of the emperor, it would be more than worth the effort. But now Wang was crying here, and the two of them dared not interrupt him. They could only kneel on the ground and wait for Wang to finish crying. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was very strange.
After a long time, Wang finally finished crying. After wiping his tears, he sat up again. Seeing his mother-in-law and father-in-law who were still kneeling on the ground, Wang thought to himself: He is a miserable person. Anyway, he is already an unclean person. Why not repay their Liu family with his own body as a broken flower and willow.
"Mother-in-law and father-in-law, please get up and your wife promised you to serve the Emperor Shenwu, which is considered to be the kindness of your Liu family for taking care of you over the past few years!"
Wang said ruthlessly, but Liu Zhengheng didn't care about that, as long as Wang agreed to him.
Liu Zhengheng quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Then thank you daughter-in-law. Cui, you can dress up your daughter-in-law tomorrow and then enter the palace with me!"
Seeing Wang's agreement, Cui felt relieved and finally accomplished a big thing! He began to go out to prepare new clothes and prepare for tomorrow.
The next morning, Liu Zhengheng went to the governor's office to pay a visit to Yu Shilong, and asked indirectly about the emperor's residence. After that, he quickly came back and brought his wife in full dress and rushed to Nanyuan to give gifts to Zhu Hongsan.
Zhu Hongsan originally lived in Hangzhou for three days, and then led the troops to set off. Although Hangzhou is beautiful, it is not qualified compared to Zhu Hongsan's great cause. Now the situation in the entire battlefield of Nanzhili and Zhejiang is very beneficial to Zhu Hongsan. The Qing Dynasty basically had no main force in Jiangnan, and it was basically impossible to transfer reinforcements from outside the pass for half a year. Now Zhu Hongsan has more than 100,000 troops stationed in the battlefields of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Huguang. If you don't take this opportunity to occupy it.
It would be no fun to wait for the Qing Dynasty to recover in Nanjing. You should know that although the Qing Dynasty could not defeat Zhu Hongsan, its overall strength was still much stronger than Zhu Hongsan. The Qing Dynasty also occupied a large area of land north of the Yangtze River in the north of Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, northern Zhili, Sichuan, and southern Zhili. Although Henan, Shaanxi and other places were incredibly harmed by bandits, other provinces were relatively complete and could provide a large amount of food and soldiers for the Qing Dynasty.
So what Zhu Hongsan had to do was to quickly occupy Nanzhili while the Qing Dynasty did not react, and to use nearly 50 million people in southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces to develop the armed forces that made the Qing Dynasty desperate. By then, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will not be difficult.
Because of this established policy, Zhu Hongsan was preparing to rest for three days in Hangzhou and then lead the army to continue north. Today, Zhu Hongsan's schedule was still to receive Zhejiang gentry. Today, he was going to visit the Zhang family in Ningbo. This was a top wealthy family and he made a lot of efforts during the anti-Qing Dynasty. He couldn't be too slow to be with others.
Just as Zhu Hongsan was preparing, Li Chengen came into the room outside the door and asked in a low voice: "Old Master, Liu Zhengheng, the governor of Hangzhou outside, asked for a meeting. What should I do?"
Liu Zhengheng? I haven’t heard of it! Shouldn’t such a small official go to the governor’s office to report? Why are you here?
"Old Li, please go out and notify him. If you have something to do, I'm very busy today!"
After hearing this, Li Chengen did not go out, but continued to whisper: "Prince, Liu Zhengheng said he was here to give the emperor beauty!"
Damn! It turned out to be a gift-giving guy. Zhu Hongsan has seen many such people. These surrender factions are afraid that they will be liquidated and can use any tricks. The beauty Zhu Hongsan has seen many of his wives, and that’s not bad, not to mention that he really doesn’t have the heart to play with women now, so it’s a mess!
But Zhu Hongsan hesitated. He regretted giving the two little ladies to Zhang Huangyan last night, but he lost his identity when he came back. Now someone is here to come and don’t really feel sorry for his little brother, why don’t you take a look first?
"Old Li, what kind of beauty is that prefect?"
"Emperor, Master Liu said he is his daughter-in-law!"
Zhu Hongsan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Damn, this is so exciting. In the past, some people gave their daughters, concubines, and even one of them sent their original wife. But the first thing they gave their daughter-in-law to waste was that they were ruined by themselves. We must meet them today!
