"I have seen my mother... Dare to say well to you"
Zhou Huaian bowed his hand to Empress Cao, who took the initiative to greet her. To be honest, with a modern person's cognition and three views, it is really shameful and uncomfortable to call out to such an unfamiliar ancient person.
But at any rate, the other party has always been friendly and reliable with him, and he has helped vigorously, and he is a cheap elder with a special identity; even if he is a big power in charge of this, a little courtesy is not a problem at all. So his next words became more fluent:
"Everything was overbearing and I couldn't come to visit early, but I was shocked by Mom..."
"Most Governors are serious, how can a concubine dare to be such a big gift..."
However, Empress Cao stepped forward before hearing the sound, put her arm on his movement and said sincerely:
"At the time of the helpless peril of Chang'an inside and outside, only the chief governor personally leads the rescue. This kindness and Shengyi are the rarest things in the world!! How dare you to be proud of yourself..."
"But in any case, it was you who raised Yao'er by one hand and fulfilled my marriage. Isn't it;"
Zhou Huaian also praised secretly in his heart, and became more and more natural.
"Now that Yao'er is unable to serve the knees for some reason, I will do the greetings and filial piety on my behalf. It is also reasonable. Please mother not to care about it..."
"Yao'er has the heart, and you are hardworking enough, but it makes the concubine feel uncomfortable; if so, how about letting the concubine say a'journey'?"
Empress Cao was moving more and more, and she sighed faintly in her eyes.
"This is the relationship of my family and so on, so it should be so... I happen to have a few handwritten scripts for Yao'er and some special venerations here, so I can say something to Mom..."
Zhou Huaian also nodded and smiled:
"This child is interested, it's just that you have a great cause for your deeds, and your deeds are dictated by everyone. How can it be her temperament..."
Empress Cao was a bit half-truth and complained:
"It's just a handy effort to take advantage of the trend, Mom doesn't need to care..."
Zhou Huaian said lightly and praised him more and more in his heart. At least this cheap mother-in-law's emotional intelligence and human relations accidents are quite knowledgeable and decent; I don't know how she cultivated the red medicine child into that lamb-like shy and restrained temperament among the soldiers and horses who were tossed and displaced by the rebels in the early years.
After talking about these words, Empress Cao couldn’t help but a stone fell in her heart. Since the other party was willing to call herself "mother" instead of "middle palace," it was a recognition of her identity and position as a son-in-law/half son, not just Only Empress Daqi, who seems to be honorable and honorable, is embarrassing and vain identity with infinite crisis. .
And seeing this slightly harmonious and harmonious scene, everyone who was accompanying at the scene also secretly relieved, at least this also means that the cheap princess is quite favored and valued in the other's fore house; and their expressions Become more forgiving and sincere,
At least they don’t have to worry about being dragged to death in the next moment, or falling into the hands of the officers and soldiers. Some people even become more thoughtful and alive; since this middle palace is so important and humble. With this chief governor, perhaps under his command represents a certain way out and chance
After Haosheng talked about some daily routines with him, Zhou Huaian turned to a certain topic and asked:
"Dare to ask my mother what her plan is for the next step... Now the southern part of the city is initially decided, but there are still many old dynasty officers and soldiers in the city..."
"The well-intentioned concubine of the trip is self-conscious, but as Daqi’s middle palace, he is entrusted by the king to take care of the house and the servants. Now, as long as there is a breath, the concubine should be with Being with it; what is it to be out of this Chang'an City? So other people can take shelter for a while, but forgive the concubine."
Empress Cao shook her head softly and firmly, and then said broadly:
"There are some things that I want to entrust to me in case..."
After a while, Zhou Huaian was led to a cavernous Tibetan soldiers on the side of the tower. When it was also used as a temporary warehouse, he was also surprised to see that behind the cleaned matchsticks, there was a cave-in-the-sky pile. Many bags and cages of large and small packages; like a hill, piled up to the top, and there is not much place to stay.
"A trip without hiding it, this is the final place I want to choose... The messy objects and household items brought out from the joint palace can only be burned if they don't fall into the enemy's hands."
Empress Cao sighed softly.
"Now that Ruuo comes, everything is fine, and these objects are useless with me, so I'll be punished by it..."
"Mother, don't worry, the presence of me and Yao'er will make you worry-free for the rest of your life..."
Zhou Huaian was also moved and understood:
However, when counting and sorting these objects next, he was still surprised by the jewellery revealed in them. Suddenly understood why Empress Cao asked to order it by herself.
Because these so-called household items are all jewellery, gold and jade artifacts, even calligraphy and painting antiques with palace inscriptions or built-in styles; they are stacked up and stacked up half of them casually. warehouse.
I'm afraid it wasn't that when she ran away in a hurry, she packed up all the soft and precious things that could be taken away from the Imperial City, right? It's no wonder that the officers and soldiers attacked so frantically before, maybe there is a reason for it!
Don’t underestimate a woman’s paranoia! Zhou Huaian couldn’t help complaining in her heart; then she also threw her determination to deal with it decisively, and sighed, this cheap mother-in-law presented herself with a big problem. what.
In another place, Empress Cao, who had already returned to where she was staying, was as if she emptied her whole body and lay down on the soft couch as if she was relieved and never wanted to get up again, leaving a maid close to her. Hastily kneaded his shoulders.
After all, in the face of his own warfare that wiped out most of the southern lands, and did not know how many powers were wiped out in the ashes, and the "good son-in-law" who caused countless tyrants' families to ruin, let him scream "Mother" in person. People are quite Alexander's thing.
"Mother, you don't hesitate to hand over all these things you brought out at the expense of your life?"
The close maid said leisurely.
"Stay? Why do you want to stay? What is the use of staying? Is it possible that you think you can keep these things right now?"
Empress Cao suddenly opened her eyes and glanced at her and asked:
"Could it be..."
The female officer couldn't help showing shock,
"Nothing,"
But Empress Cao interrupted without hesitation:
"Given the southeast pattern and strength of people, we may not be able to appreciate this; but we must also have wintry and attitude, let alone have extra delusions and give others a handle. What I am even more afraid of is to continue to press on In the hand, there will be some superficial tempests around him, and something that should not be missed is born, then it is really ugly..."
"Then... I really don't want to leave a little bit next to her..."
The female officer was silent for a moment and said:
"Come on, Baba, you've been so prosperous, you've seen a lot of wealth and wealth with us."
Empress Cao became more disapproving:
"We have a good daughter. Even if she doesn’t have to do anything at this moment, she can live without worry, Ronghua, and provide for the rest of her life; but you, you old people who have been with me for some time... Why do they support them? You... I am not just trying to find a way out for you..."
"Niang Niang..."
The female officer couldn't help but lowered her head with a sad expression.
"Could it be that you still thought that you were looking for an opportunity to lie down on the king's couch, so that my sister could not make it?..."
Empress Cao suddenly felt a little embarrassed:
"The slave and maid would never dare,"
The female officer was suddenly shocked and threw herself at her feet in a mournful voice:
"Even if you continue to stay in Da Nei, you will still have to be pointed out someday, either to be concubines for the old people around the king, or to reward a vulgar husband, are you really willing to... "
Empress Cao then slowly breathed out:
"At least my son-in-law is a group of young and powerful princes who have achieved fame and fame; other than that, they are at least a hundred times better than those old guys who don't treat women as things after being rich."
"I originally wanted to join the sect with Xiao Cao (Shi Xiong), but now it’s not done, so how about letting you marry? Or if you have any fancy young Toshihiko, you can also tell whether it can be fulfilled. What?"
Empress Cao looked at the woman who was no longer talking at her feet but was sobbing softly, but in her heart she secretly sighed and made up her determination to marry her; as the saying goes, she sees people's hearts in a crisis. But now that things eased down, did the people around him have different thoughts first
She naturally had another meaning and intention that she didn't continue to say. Apart from enjoying the wealth and glory of being a queen in this city of Chang'an, in front of the old brothers of the Yellow King, it is nothing but a more prominent and more glamorous decoration and extravagance. Who really puts her in the eyes? It.
In contrast, in the Taiping Dudufu, whether it is Chai Ping, Cao Shixiong, Wang Pan, and Wang Chongba. Wang Chongyin and others are still like Zhu Cun, Zhang Juyan, and others. They are juniors from the rebel army, or from the bottom generals. Among them, there are many people who have received favors and connections.
Of course, she does not expect to use this to seek more power, or to use it as the starting point for interference in the political affairs of the back house, but to serve as a kind of potential protection and indirect assistance with a certain tendency when necessary.
After all, she was only a Yunzhou singer, and she was able to learn to adapt and change herself in the troubled times, so that she was able to support each other with Huang Wang step by step to the present, not like those who died of illness, disappeared, and separated. Like Concubine Ji, she is not famous in Dao Tu and is the queen of the new dynasty.
But now that she has experienced so much, she is really exhausted physically and mentally, and she doesn't want to force her to laugh and make other people's children call the "mother queen" who is wrong, and continue to be tired of dealing with those women with their own scheming; that is why In order to further rely on the mind of his son-in-law.
Of course, these people who have gathered around and have never left, etc., have the opportunity to give her some way out, or it can come in handy, and she doesn't mind. Empress Cao was thinking about it in this way, becoming more and more dense, but it made people feel particularly relieved. (End of this chapter)
