Chapter 77
"What does the old lady mean by this?"

Cheng Pingan didn't understand, and he became more and more rascal: "Have you ever harmed your family? The old matriarch made accusations out of thin air, even if you are old, I have to ask clearly, so as not to be insulted." gone."

He was imprisoned by Cheng Huaijin for a day and a night, and was locked up in a small dark room for a whole day. The experience of this day is called Cheng Pingan, who will never forget it. Therefore, now, another person jumps out to criticize him. Who is Cheng Ping An? I am not convinced.

Mrs. Gao was about to laugh angrily, and didn't say much at the moment. She swung her cane and knocked it on the leg of the steed horse Cheng Ping'an was riding. When the cane was knocked off, the horse screamed in pain. Coming out, the front hoof wanted to lift up, but the front leg couldn't support it, and fell to the ground after a while.

Cheng Ping'an was thrown off his horse and looked extremely embarrassed. He jumped up and pointed at Mrs. Gao: "You old woman is so unreasonable, you are harming my horse without making a sound, you..."

"I'm just ignorant." Mrs. Gao swung his crutches again, and hit Cheng Ping'an on the head with a crutch: "How do you treat me? I'm going to cheat today, and I'll beat you..."

"You, you..." Cheng Pingan hugged his head in pain and ran away, saying as he ran, "It's just that girls and villains are hard to raise."

Mrs. Gao didn't catch up, and angrily put her waist in and scolded: "You dog, we can't finish this matter."

After the old lady Gao finished cursing, she got into the carriage again, and stomped her feet angrily: "Let's go."

It didn't take long before Gao's sedan chair arrived at the gate of the palace, because the Empress Dowager Gao also agreed to the waist card that she had handed over earlier, after a while, the old Madam Gao got out of the carriage, and a few eunuchs specially carried a The soft sedan asked her to sit on it, and the group went directly to Renshou Palace where Empress Dowager Gao was.

After entering the Renshou Palace, Mrs. Gao trembled slightly and was about to greet the Empress Dowager Gao. The Empress Dowager Gao quickly asked someone to help her up, and said with a smile: "Mother hasn't been in the palace for a long time. If you want to come today, it can be seen that it is Zhi'er." This girl is fine."

Old Madam Gao also laughed: "With the magic medicine, Zhi'er will be fine. Our Zhi'er has a big life, and we didn't let the villain succeed."

"What's going on?" The Empress Dowager Gao asked.

Mrs. Gao sat next to her and told the story in tears: "So we couldn't believe it. No matter how you say it, Cao An is Zhi'er's husband-in-law. How can he be so cruel as a husband and wife for a day? But when Zhier woke up and we asked, it was indeed Cao An's fault. Madam, Cao An is a wolf, I can't ask Zhier to live with him anymore. Zhi'er and Cao An are reconciled."

"It's really come to this point?" Empress Dowager Gao asked a few more words based on the principle of persuasion and not persuasion, Madam Gao gritted her teeth and said: "If we can't go on, I'm afraid our Zhi'er will die if we go on. I just gave birth to such a girl, how can I bear to see her suffer, I beg your mother to make an order."

Mrs. Gao also said: "However, I still don't believe our family's Zhi'er's personality and appearance. Without him, Cao's family will be lonely for a lifetime."

Mrs. Gao also sighed for a long time. Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Gao knew that everyone in the family had made up her mind, so she said helplessly, "That's what my mother and sister-in-law said. At that time, I wrote an order for my mother to take her out, and we will be reconciled when we leave." Leaving, the daughter of my Gao family is honorable and will not be tortured by others."

The Empress Dowager Gao also knows something about the Cao family. The Cao family was initiated in this dynasty. In the eyes of the Gao family, it is like an upstart existence. Gao Zhilan married to the Cao family. Cherish it, but always blame Gao Zhilan instead.

Cao An's sister-in-law came from a humble background, she was the niece of Cao An's mother's natal family, and she had nothing to do after she married, but because she was the niece of Mrs. Cao's natal family and was protected by Mrs. Cao, it was inconvenient for the whole family to say anything, and she was born beautiful. , looks delicate and weak, and has always acted kindly, which is praised by the whole family.

However, after Gao Zhilan got married, because of Gao Zhilan's magnanimity, glamorous appearance, and rich dowry, she was compared to her sister-in-law. Weeping and weeping, saying that Gao Zhilan looked down on her because of her family background, it's fine once or twice, after a long time, others think that Gao Zhilan is wrong.

Gao Zhilan couldn't stand it, she said in her heart that if you were dirty and I looked down on you, then I would be convicted of this crime. I found an opportunity to beat up her sister-in-law. Her parents-in-law wanted to tell her, but she didn't Convinced, her mother-in-law wanted to set rules for her, but Gao Zhilan overturned the dinner table and went back to beat Cao An. Since then, Gao Zhilan has been like a bully in Cao's house.

This Cao family is also bullying and afraid of hard, so they dare not provoke Gao Zhilan, and only go out secretly to ruin her reputation.

Gao Zhilan became pregnant not long after marrying Cao's family. Her sister-in-law was jealous and found an opportunity to provoke her. When Gao Zhilan scolded back, the obviously delicate woman dragged Gao Zhilan into the lake, and Cao An and His brother happened to see it, and they all said that Gao Zhilan pushed her sister-in-law into the lake. Unexpectedly, she fell into the lake too.

After Gao Zhilan was fished out of the lake, not only did she lose her child, but her reputation was even worse. She simply broke the jar, even if the Cao family didn't make her feel better, then no one would be able to think about it. From then on, whenever she had If you are not happy, you will beat up that sister-in-law, scold your mother-in-law and beat Cao An, the entire Cao family will cry for father and mother, Cao An wants to take a concubine, Gao Zhilan will also beat up the girl who wants to climb the bed and sell it to a shameful place .

Although Gao Zhilan is so rampant, she is always unhappy in her heart. No matter who is a woman, who would not like a harmonious husband and wife, loving parents-in-law, who would want to act like a hedgehog like that.

Empress Dowager Gao also knew about these things, and she had thought of asking Gao Zhilan to reconcile her, but what the world is doing now is unfair to women, especially women who divorce and leave, no matter who is at fault, after all, the notoriety that women bear is more than that. There are many more men, Empress Dowager Gao is afraid that Gao Zhilan and Li will not be able to find a good family again, so she can only dispel this idea, and now even if Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gao both proposed to reconcile and leave, she is also happy to fulfill it.

Mrs. Gao received the Holy Grace and thanked the Empress Dowager Gao, and the old Madam Gao talked about the family affairs with the Empress Dowager Gao, and described the relationship between mother and daughter, and did not leave until almost noon.

It is said that Cheng Pingan was chased and beaten by Mrs. Gao, endured the pain and went to the palace to meet him. When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, after showing the ceremony to Emperor Qingfeng, Cheng Pingan wrinkled his face bitterly and said: "Your Majesty can be saved." minister."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Qingfeng was a little amused when he saw Cheng Ping'an's embarrassed look: "Wei Mou, move a stool for Mr. Cheng."

After Cheng Ping'an sat down, Emperor Qingfeng asked: "Did someone call for the beating? If you tell me, I will decide with you."

In fact, Emperor Qingfeng thought that Cheng Ping'an was not sure who he would offend, and to make him angry, he just beat him up. Not used to it, I wanted to share Cheng Huaijin's bad luck with Cheng Huaijin.

Cheng Pingan rubbed his shoulders that were still sore, with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I have been really unlucky these days. First, I was sent to prison for no reason. I don't know why I was beaten by Mrs. Gao today. Please give me some help from your majesty." The minister is in charge."

"I don't know why?" Emperor Qingfeng smiled, but his eyes were full of coldness: "I know about this, did you collaborate with Cao An to build such a palace of Yan Luo, which scared the Gao family girl crazy?"

With just one sentence, Cheng Ping'an was taken aback for a long time, and then he realized that Cao An's mother-in-law was from the Gao family. , probably so, that is to say, the minister made a mistake, and the minister just gave the Gao family a present."

Speaking of this, Cheng Ping'an asked again: "It's just that Jin Yiwei is too much. I didn't provoke them, so why did I take me to prison?"

Emperor Qingfeng smiled: "It's not the reason, but it's just for the sake of secrecy. The commander has already told me about this matter. In fact, he was ordered to find the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. I'm afraid you didn't tell the truth after seeing it. Wanshang got lost on the road, but what to do, I have to wrong you to stay in Jinyiwei for a day first, and then let you out after confirming the Chuanguo Yuxi and putting it in place. Understand, if you are waiting for Zhen to free up your hand, you will not let it happen in vain."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng Ping'an was overjoyed when he heard it, got up and bowed again: "If it is for the matter of passing on the jade seal of the country, I will not feel wronged."

Emperor Qingfeng smiled and nodded: "I know that you are knowledgeable and interesting, and you are the most sympathetic, and I trust you more, and I intend to entrust you with important tasks..."

"Your Majesty." Cheng Ping'an hurriedly declined: "I am used to idleness and wild cranes, and I don't like those government affairs."

Emperor Qingfeng waved his hand: "Just listen to me."

Cheng Pingan sat down and listened respectfully, Emperor Qingfeng smiled and said: "A few days ago, I thought about it for a long time and wanted to understand a truth, why the land annexation has become more and more fierce in the past dynasties, and repeated orders and five applications are not effective. It is because the land is really important. Besides, the peasants have no other way to survive except sticking to the land. I thought, what if we pay more attention to business and industry? I also think that you have the most successful ideas in your heart and your ideas are different, so I want to discuss it with you. .”

"Your Majesty." Cheng Ping'an almost jumped up happily: "You are right, you really should pay more attention to industry and commerce. If you elevate the status of craftsmen and merchants, you will be able to make more inventions. With advanced tools, you don't need to farm so much." If there are more hands, there will be extra hands to do work and do business... This is a virtuous circle, and it is a plan that will benefit future generations."

"I once said that you are the one who understands my mind best, and now it seems that it is so. I want to take the lead in setting up a yamen in the Ministry of Industry to manage craftsmen and merchants, and ask you to come forward to do it. Would you like it?" Emperor Qingfeng looked Cheng Ping'an's face was full of trust: "Don't say anything about being impatient. This is a plan that benefits the country and the people. If you take more care of it, I can rest assured."

Emperor Qingfeng's words were tantamount to confiding in his heart, and Cheng Ping'an was deeply moved when he heard it, he immediately got up and clasped his fists and said, "Dare not to follow orders."

"Okay." Emperor Qingfeng was overjoyed, he got up and patted Cheng Ping'an on the shoulder: "If this is done, I'm looking forward to celebrating with you."

Cheng Ping'an was very happy, said a lot of big words, and was encouraged by Emperor Qingfeng to make him happy, and made a promise to lead the decree to leave the palace.
