Chapter 643 Contradictions (1)
The imperial palace is so big, there are so many concubines, and there are so many old concubines left behind by the previous emperor, and the emperor changed as he pleased without any rules at all.It is really not easy for the queen mother to invite the emperor.The hide-and-seek chasing game went on for more than an hour, the queen mother threw a teacup angrily, and called back the person she sent out.

At this time, the emperor was strolling around the pharmacy of the Imperial Hospital.

Let's talk about Zhou Shilang, Mr. Zhou.After he left the court in the morning, he went to work in the Ministry of War, and when he returned to the mansion in the afternoon, Mrs. Zhou handed over the secret letter written by Zhou Boyan to him.Opening the letter, seeing what was written in the letter, his face turned blue and white, and he was very angry.Then, hesitation flashed in his eyes.After that, it was fear.

"When did this letter arrive?"

This question made Mrs. Zhou think of something unpleasant, and she said in a bad tone, "Before Yinshi." That is, before Zhou Shilang got up and went to the morning court.

"Since it was delivered early in the morning, why not bring it to Master Ben earlier?"

Mrs. Zhou has been a gentle person since she was young, but after Zhou Boyan turned against her and left last year, her temperament has changed.But generally speaking, she is still a gentle and talkative person.But what happened this morning made her anxious, so she rushed out, "How can a poor wife compare to a beautiful girl? Something big happened, how can I call out the master who is drunk in the soft jade Wenxiang?" Tangtang Madam, she went to call the master for something, but was stopped by the servant who had just entered the side room.How unreasonable!She is good at speaking, but she is not the kind of person who allows others to ride on her neck and act wildly.

Zhou Shilang heard something wrong and frowned.

Mrs. Zhou sneered, "Come here, tie up all the servants in Mrs. Ruyi's courtyard, and bring them to the front yard to kneel for punishment. Nurse, pass on the word, except for the old lady's yard, the masters of all the houses in the mansion Just get out of breath and come to the front hall at once."

Zhou Shilang frowned, "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing? Madam Ben wants to tell everyone today that Madam Ben is not dead, she is still your wife, and she hasn't reached the point where she can be bullied by her concubine or aunt."

Zhou Shilang understood a little bit, if he really let his wife go, he would have to lose face too.He stayed in Ruyi's wife's room last night, before he woke up, he vaguely heard arguing in the yard.At that time, Mrs. Ruyi side said nothing happened, so he continued to sleep and didn't care.Looking at Madam's posture now, I'm afraid he sent someone to Ruyi Courtyard to look for him, but the slaves in Ruyi Courtyard had the audacity to stop Madam's people.This annoyed Mrs.

Actually he was wrong.It was himself who really annoyed Mrs. Zhou.He asked Mrs. Zhou why she didn't give him the secret letter earlier.This provoked Mrs. Zhou's suppressed anger.

Mrs. Zhou is determined to deal with people today, and besides, she has been disappointed with the master for a long time, so she will naturally not think about saving face for the master.

When Zhou Shilang collected all the well-known Yingyingyanyans in the room, and when all the children of the concubine and the concubine were all there, Mrs. Zhou, who had always been too talkative, began to set the rules and asked Mrs. Ruyi to kneel down on the spot. Acknowledge your mistake.

Mrs. Ruyi tried to pretend to be weak and get away with it.

Mrs. Zhou slapped the table, "Bold and wishful, it's just a concubine, how dare you challenge this lady and insult this lady's capable maid. You kneel down and admit your mistake, but you find various reasons to shirk, you simply don't take this lady seriously Here, someone, drag her out and beat her with ten boards."

When Madam Ruyi heard this, she yelled for the master to help with a faint face.

Zhou Shilang couldn't hold back his face, as soon as he reprimanded Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou came in with the help of a maid on crutches.

Mrs. Zhou's hair has turned gray and she looks old.Everyone hurriedly got up to say hello, she waved her hand, and said in a moderate voice, "Is it the opposite of the sky? Huh?" Then she raised her crutches and hit Zhou Shilang, cursing angrily, "I'm not filial, how can I be so filial?" Dare to embarrass your wife in public. Side wife, aunt, what are you? It is you who are used to being arrogant about these things, and even bullied the mistress of the house."

"Mother, you misunderstood." Zhou Shilang was busy coaxing the old lady.

Mrs. Zhou ignored him at all, and nodded to Mrs. Zhou, "It's hard for you to think about him all the time, alas!" Then she said lightly, "Mrs. Mother, she is really an evil slave. Someone, drag her out and beat her to death with sticks."

"Mother." Zhou Shilang was shocked.

"Madam, please forgive me..." Mrs. Ruyi was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground and began to beg for mercy.

Madam Zhou remained silent.

Mrs. Ruyi was beaten to death with sticks, and all the aunts in each house were pale and honest.

In the study, Mrs. Zhou read the secret letter left by Zhou Boyan, raised her crutches and beat Zhou Shilang across the face. "Idiot, idiot, isn't it enough to be fooled by an old temptress once? Isn't it enough to kill your own brother? You idiot who doesn't have a long memory. You want my entire Zhou family to be buried with you! Why did I give birth to you? Such an idiot!" Just now in front of people, the slap she made was just a gesture, and she didn't use much strength.It was different now, she was so angry that she used her strength.

Although Mrs. Zhou and the deceased Master Zhou were married, they always had big or small differences when they encountered the family's rise and fall.When the husband and wife can't convince the other, they always have to fight.In the end, the decision to fight and win that person is adopted, and the other only has to obey.They will be like this in a society where men are superior to women. It turns out that Mrs. Zhou was born in a famous family. When she was a girl, she had a strong personality and took care of half of her natal family.

And Master Zhou, who was born in a poor family back then, was knowledgeable, but not outstanding.The big family will help the children of poor families, and the selection must be those who have performed outstandingly on the road to the imperial examination.He does not have a powerful family behind him, and no one in the family can help him, and because he is not outstanding enough, there is no big family or official who is willing to help him.At that time, he and his family could not die of hunger but they could not get enough to eat, and life was very tight.Reluctantly became an official, but also met a deadly enemy when he was studying, and was suppressed out of breath.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou herself took a fancy to him and was willing to marry him at a low price.Her condition is that after getting married, she and her natal family will help Master Zhou to achieve success, and Master Zhou has to accept her strength, and she has half of the decision-making power in matters outside the family.Naturally, she is also smart, and she will definitely save face for Mr. Zhou outside.

Back then, Mrs. Zhou was beautiful, well-mannered and well-mannered. She was a veil in managing people, affairs, and housekeeping, and she was good at making money.From a secular point of view, Mr. Zhou is not worthy of Mrs. Zhou at all.Mrs. Zhou's willingness to marry him is a blessing he has cultivated for several lifetimes.Master Zhou also understood this, so he happily married Mrs. Zhou.

After that, although Master Zhou's official career was not smooth, it was still flourishing.The husband and wife are also affectionate, but they also love to compete. It can be said that they fought all the way.Mr. Zhou's officialdom is getting bigger and bigger, but he is not one who forgets his roots. He really fulfilled his promise to Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou has half of the decision-making power for major affairs outside the house.Their children watched from the sidelines, naturally they were used to the difference between their own mother and Mrs. Beppu.
