Chapter 156 The Backstory
In Zhang's mansion, Mrs. Zhang San and his wife were still sitting in the old master's room listening to the music and chatting. It could be seen that the old man was very happy. The son and daughter of the third lady were also there, surrounded by children and grandchildren, they were very 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." Mrs. Zhang San said hurriedly.

"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 confessed to his sister, and then turned to his father, "Father, the eldest princess is greeting you, and I am worried that there is no one at home." .”

"It made her think about it, and it hurts the old minister." Old Hou Ye smiled at Shi Niang.

"She's sorry for you. I go back so often every three days. On the one hand, she is reluctant to let me not go back, but on the other hand, she is afraid that you will mind. This is just trying to fool my husband!" She smiled and poured some hot fruit wine for the old man, Laughed on purpose.

"That's good, man, if you fool me, I fool you, I'm willing to spend time fooling you, it's because I have you in my heart, change someone else, see if I have the time and energy." The old man shook his head.

Shi Niang thought about it, "Father, do you know about Mrs. Zhongyi angrily beating Dengwen Drum?"

You know, there are many people in the world who know Mrs. Zhongyi, but few know that Mrs. Zhongyi is a real mother and five mothers. Of course, it is also a long time ago, like the younger generation, even Mrs. Zhongyi may not know.

"I know, I know." Miss Zhang San said hurriedly.

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

"When my mother was alive, she often told us about this matter. Of course, she never told you. However, you can ask our four sisters a lot. Princess, why do you ask this carefully?" Zhang San The lady said hurriedly.

"I just heard about it today, so I came here to ask my father. What happened at the beginning!" Shi Niang thought about it and looked at Mrs. Zhang San. She knew Wu Niang's version, but everyone knew it. Stories are a matter of perspective.Wu Niangzi stood on her own point of view and said that the problem was always a bit extreme.Although she would stand by her fifth mother no matter what, she also wanted to know what the outside world said at the time.

"At that time, there were many rumors that the world was harsher on women. Madam Loyalty supported her husband and served her in-laws with her own hands. She was also a well-known virtuous woman. Everyone bossed her around, making her husband, parents-in-law, parents, and brothers unable to lift their heads. Later, when her husband reprimanded her a few words, she rolled around, refusing to let her go. Finally, she even beat the Dengwen drum, making her husband's family unable to lift their heads. Even if they don't recognize her anymore, the royal family can only judge them to reconcile." The old man said casually with a chuckle.

"Father!" Mrs. Zhang San screamed.

"Of course the princess has to listen to the rumors in the market first, so as to hear the inside story!" Uncle Zhang San understood, and he smiled and pulled his wife back.

"So what you said was the mainstream rumor at that time?"

"Yes, although the families of the fifth-rank officials know what's going on, but the mouth of the people is like Fangchuan, how can the common people know so much, it's just copying what others say." The old man sighed softly.

"Then what is the real situation?"

"Actually, I'm not sure if it's true, and I'm not qualified to go to court, but Mrs. Chen beat the Dengwen drum angrily. Everyone knows that because at that time, many people saw that when Mrs. Chen went to beat the drum, she was already tortured." Injured. She actually escaped from the Chen family." The old man sighed softly, "When Mrs. Chen came to the palace gate to beat the drum, there were family members who stopped her and said she was crazy. But the court ruled that since It has already been knocked, so it is absolutely forbidden for people to make a statement, so there is the next thing. They knocked all the way to the palace gate like this, even if they want to hide it, they can't hide it."

"Then why no one punished the Chen family?" Zhang Qian's eyes widened.

If Wu Niangzi escaped from the Chen family, then it was not out of anger and beating the drums, but after careful consideration.Instead, the Chen family wanted to cure Wuniang to death first, and if Wuniang wanted to save her life, she had to put her to death and live later.

"What about the evidence? I have to say that Mrs. Loyalty is very smart. She was hit by a board, and when she met the saint, she said that her husband was going to divorce his wife. When she was dying, she was still telling the emperor that the courtiers were disobedient!" The old man shook his head with a smile. Shaking his head, he looked at Mrs. Zhang San, "Did you see that? Your mother told you in vain. What's the point? You obviously didn't see it."

"She was beaten out, and the people all over the street saw her. Go and check, is it possible that you still can't find it?" San Niangzi said hastily.

"It was her natal brother who pulled her up at the time, but there was nothing wrong with the Chen family. I really found out that she was still Mrs. Chen at that time, so what was waiting for her? What was the real situation? When she was beaten , everyone is the same as you, guessed almost. Just wait for Mrs. Chen to speak, and then think of a way for him. But no one thought that what she said was that her husband was going to divorce her, saying that she should not be a businessman , Lost the face of the officials and others. When I said this, even Master Chen, who is a face saint, couldn't deny it. He could only say that he loved his wife very much. Now he can support the family and let his wife stop competing for profit with the people. It is a kind heart !"

"I like this passage the most. Mrs. Loyalty is obviously covered in blood, but she got up and said, 'I am worthy of the heaven and the earth. I do business to make money, so that my husband will not be troubled by common affairs and concentrate on serving the country and the people; let the parents-in-law enjoy their old age peacefully. The rich clothes and fine food are worthy of their half a lifetime of hard work; nurturing the only son to make progress and make him a useful person in the court. My wife doesn't know where I am wrong. If Mr. Chen is so disgusted, then my wife please make peace and leave with Chen from now on. family, and has nothing to do with the Cai family!'" Mrs. Zhang San hurriedly said loudly.

Shi Niang felt chills all over her body, but Zhang Qian hurriedly poured her a cup of hot wine, and gently rubbed her shoulders.

"Madame Loyalty is really a god-man." Zhang Qian said softly.

"Right, right! In that situation, it was really courageous and resourceful. The Queen Mother was alarmed, and said that since she couldn't make it through, she would make peace with her. The reputation of the Chen and Cai families is good." Mrs. Zhang San hurriedly said with joy, "The old ladies of the Cai family and the Chen family still want to stop them, but those people in the household department are not easy to get along with. At that time, there were people in the palace. The people directly sealed the house, and then threw a few clothes out, driving the Chen family and the Cai family out. At that time, Mr. Chen could not be allocated an official house, and lived in the mansion bought by Mrs. Zhongyi. What did they have? Just a few tattered books and a few clothes."

"and after?"

"Mrs. Loyalty donated all the family property to the charity hall of the government. The house is now a workhouse for some widows and lonely people. Mrs. Loyalty's business is also used to support the lives of these people. It has done a lot of good deeds." The old man She smiled, "Is she a hero in the female middle school? She also knows that she really took the money away, and she is afraid that everyone will criticize her. Although Mrs. Loyalty disappeared in the capital later, everyone believes that she will definitely let her live. Well done, I heard that the son of the Chen family went to the White Deer Academy later, it must be Madam Zhongyi who did it."

　The Big Tang Conspiracy is not bad, I don't like Yang Zhigang very much, the way he speaks is too personal.
