Cui Shi stood outside the door and sighed, and said, "Daughter-in-law, it's me, you haven't slept yet?" ”

Hearing that it was his mother-in-law, Wang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was a young widow, and what he was most afraid of was that the door was not clean. Wang asked Yahuan to open the door and welcome her mother-in-law, Cui, in.

Wang stood at the door, saw Cui come in, Ying Ying bowed, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, haven't you slept so late?" ”

Wang entered the house and saw his daughter-in-law sighing, for the sake of her husband's future, she had to sacrifice her.

Wang took his daughter-in-law Cui's hand and entered the inner room, sat down and asked, "How is my daughter-in-law in the past few days?" Is life good? ”

"Thank you mother for your concern, daughter-in-law is all right! I wonder what's the matter with my mother coming so late? ”

How can this kind of thing be brought up in front of outsiders, Cui waited until the little girl in the house had tea and went out to the outhouse before whispering: "Daughter-in-law, mother-in-law came to you today to discuss a big matter!" ”

Wang was stunned, he was a widow, his father-in-law was also dead, he had no status at home, what else did his in-laws have to discuss with him?

"Mother, we are all a family, please tell me something!"

Looking at Wang's sincere expression, Cui really couldn't open his mouth, but it was not okay not to say it. Cui's agreed with Liu Zhengheng to persuade his daughter-in-law, but it was not all to protect the lord's official position. You must know that Wang is a beautiful little widow, and her father-in-law is also famous for her lust, and now she is watching it closely, so she didn't make any ugly things about picking up ashes. But a thousand days as a thief does not have a thousand days to prevent thieves, so it is better to take this opportunity to give his daughter-in-law to that bastard emperor, and also count his own thoughts.

Cui Shi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, do you know that the Ming army entered the city in the morning?" Now Hangzhou City belongs to the Ming Dynasty again! ”

"Mother, I know this, I heard that a lot of people were killed on the cross street, so there's nothing wrong with our family!"

"Hey! Thanks to the ancestors, the same year of the lord is the new governor of Zhejiang, so there is no disaster for our family at present, but being okay now does not mean that it will be okay in the future, I am afraid that someone will worry 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 back then, and his family is very knowledgeable, and Wang can be said to be a talented woman. Therefore, the Wang family is not ignorant of current affairs, as far as she knows, this Shenwu Emperor is not a good type, he is ruthless and evil, probably only a few famous faint monarchs in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms in history can compare with him.

The Wang family is now a member of the Liu family, and when he heard Cui's family say that his family was in danger, he was also very anxious, so he hurriedly asked, "Mother, what should I do?" No, I begged my father again in the same year, let him say good things in front of the emperor! ”

"Daughter-in-law, you don't know, your father and that person in the same year were just general friends, and this time he was not punished and was spared, and he can still help us talk there!"

"Mother, is there really no way?"

"It's not that there is no way, but I need your daughter-in-law's help!"

Wang was stunned when he heard Cui say this, help himself? How can a widow help? But I'm already a part of this family, as long as I can help, I can't give up!

"Mother, please say, if the daughter-in-law can help anything, the daughter-in-law will never say anything!"

Cui Shi looked at the Wang family who was revealing his true feelings, and he didn't want to talk about it in his heart, but the matter was already at this point.

"Daughter-in-law, you know that Shenwu Emperor Zhu Hongsan, I heard that he is very lustful, so he likes widows, you can't go...

Before Cui Shi finished speaking, Wang Shi Teng stood up and shouted angrily: "Mother, how can you humiliate the slave family so much, you must know that I am your son, my father-in-law is observing the festival, if I am asked to do something sorry for my father-in-law, I am willing to die!" ”

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was unwilling, Cui's also blushed, and she herself felt that it was a bit excessive. At this moment, the door of Xiulou opened, and a man rushed in. The little girl at the door was just about to stop it, but when she saw this man, she was immediately frightened and didn't dare to move, it turned out that it was Liu Zhengheng, Wang's father-in-law, who rushed in.

Liu Zhengheng listened for a long time outside the door and window, and just heard that Wang did not agree, saying that he wanted to seek death, Liu Zhengheng was in a hurry, and he didn't care about any etiquette, so he rushed into the house.

Entering the house, Liu Zhengheng didn't care about the others, knelt down in front of the Wang family with weak knees, and cried bitterly: "Daughter-in-law, even if your father-in-law begs you!" You don't know a few of my father-in-law's colleagues, because they didn't satisfy Emperor Shenwu, the whole family was sent to Luzon, thousands of miles away, I heard that there are cannibals in that place, how can you live if you go! Even if you don't pity our old couple daughter-in-law, you have to pity and pity your children and Ling'er! "Sheng'er and Ling'er are Liu Zhengheng's two children, one is five years old and the other is three years old, which is the age of likability, and the Wang family, as a sister-in-law, likes it very much on weekdays. Liu Zhengheng knew that his daughter-in-law was soft-hearted, and today he took out his son and daughter to play the emotional card.

Cui Shi on the side saw Liu Zhengheng kneeling down for his daughter-in-law shamelessly, his heart was horizontal, and he also knelt down on both knees, crying: "Daughter-in-law, you said that you have been in Liu's house for a few years, and my mother-in-law has given you a little anger?" I'm dearer to you than I'm to my own girl!" Can you watch your mother-in-law and father-in-law go to Luzon to suffer at such an age? Daughter-in-law, mother, please! ”

Wang looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law kneeling in front of him, and his heart was very painful, to say that he was really not angry at all when he married into the Liu family, and his mother-in-law did not treat him coldly like other mothers-in-law, her husband loved, her younger brothers and sisters were cute, and she lived a very happy life. But who thought that the situation suddenly changed, and his father-in-law went to Beijing to catch the exam and died on the way. Thinking of his tragic fate, Wang couldn't control himself, and sat on the chair and cried loudly!

Seeing the daughter-in-law crying sadly Liu Zhengheng and his wife kneeling on the ground, this kind of thing between men and women is what you and I want, if you force your daughter-in-law to agree it will have the opposite effect, if the Wang family resents himself after entering the palace and says something bad about himself in front of the emperor, it will be more than worth the loss. But now that Wang is crying here, the two of them don't dare to interrupt, so they only kneel on the ground and wait for Wang to finish crying, and the atmosphere in the room is very strange for a while.

Wang finally finished crying for a long time, wiped his tears and sat up again. Wang saw his mother-in-law and father-in-law who were still kneeling on the ground, and thought to himself: I am a hard-working person, anyway, I am already an unclean person, so it is better to repay them with my body of a broken flower and a willow.

"Mother-in-law, father-in-law, please get up, daughter-in-law promised you to serve that Shenwu Emperor, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of your Liu family for taking care of them in the past few years!"

Wang's words are ruthless, but Liu Zhengheng doesn't care about that, as long as Wang promises himself.

Liu Zhengheng hurriedly stood up and saluted and said, "Then thank you daughter-in-law, Cui's tomorrow, you can dress up your daughter-in-law well, and then enter the palace with me!" ”

Cui's heart was relieved when he saw Wang's promise, and finally completed a big event! Start getting out and getting your new clothes ready for tomorrow.

The next morning, Liu Zhengheng went to the governor's yamen early to meet Yu Shilong, asked the emperor's residence on the side, and hurried back to bring his daughter-in-law in full costume after the incident, and rushed to Nanyuan to give Zhu Hongsan a gift.

Zhu Hongsan originally lived in Hangzhou for three days, and then led the troops to set off, although Hangzhou is beautiful, but it is not qualified compared with the great cause in Zhu Hongsan's heart. At present, the situation on the entire battlefield in Nanzhili and Zhejiang is very favorable to Zhu Hongsan, and the Manchu Qing basically did not have any main force in Jiangnan, and it was basically impossible to transfer reinforcements from outside the border for half a year. At present, Zhu Hongsan has stationed more than 100,000 troops on the battlefields of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Huguang, and it will not be fun if he does not take this opportunity to occupy Nanjing and wait for the Manchus to slow down. You must know that although the Manchu Qing Dynasty can't beat Zhu Hongsan, it is still much stronger than Zhu Hongsan in terms of overall strength. The Manchu Qing also occupied Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Beizhili, Sichuan, and a large area north of the Yangtze River in the south.

Therefore, what Zhu Hongsan had to do was to take advantage of the fact that the Manchus did not react, quickly occupy Nanzhili, and use the population of nearly 50 million in the provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi to develop the armed forces that made the Manchus desperate, and then the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains would not be difficult.

It was precisely because of this established policy that Zhu Hongsan planned to rest in Hangzhou for three days, and then lead the army to continue north. Today's schedule for Zhu Hongsan is to receive the Zhejiang gentry, and today he is coming to the Ningbo Zhang family, which is a top tycoon, and he has contributed a lot to the Qing Dynasty, so he can't be slow to treat others.

When Zhu Hongsan was preparing, Li Chengen came into the house outside the door and asked in a low voice: "Emperor, Liu Zhengheng, the prefect of Hangzhou outside, asks to see him, what should I do?" ”

Liu Zhengheng? I've never heard of it! Shouldn't this kind of petty official go to the governor's yamen to report? How to run yourself here!

"Lao Li, you go out and inform him, I have something to find Yu Shilong, I am very busy today!"

Li Chengen didn't go out after hearing it clearly, but then whispered: "Emperor, Liu Zhengheng said that he came to send beautiful women to the emperor!" ”

Depend on! It turned out to be a gift-giver, this kind of person Zhu Hongsan has seen a lot, these surrenderers, afraid that they will be liquidated, can use any trick. The beauty Zhu Hongsan has seen a lot, and his wives are not bad, not to mention that he really doesn't have the heart to play with women now, this is still a mess!

But when the words came to his lips, Zhu Hongsan hesitated, and he regretted a little when he gave those two little ladies to Zhang Huangyan last night, but he lost his identity a little when he wanted to come back. Now that someone has sent it to the door, don't be really sorry for your little brother, why don't you take a look first?

"Lao Li, what kind of beauty does the prefect say?"

"Emperor, Governor Liu said it was his daughter-in-law!"

Zhu Hongsan's eyes lit up when he heard this, damn, this is very exciting, there were those who sent beauties to their daughters, concubines, and even one who sent their original wives here, but it was the first time to send their daughters-in-law to spoil themselves, and I want to see you today!
