Chapter 1624: The Tiger Girl (Ending)
After chatting for a few more words, Zhou Zeming left with the prince and returned to Ding Beiyuan for dinner.
Xining had lunch with Zhao Yingyue and Zhao Heming. After eating, Zhao Heming had to study the Four Books and Five Classics and the Art of War in the afternoon.
In comparison, being a lady is much easier, especially for a body master like this. As long as you don't get sick, you'll be thankful. As for the other things, it's okay if you don't learn.
So Zhao Heming was still crying when he left, saying that the men in Zhenguo General's Mansion were as tired as dogs, and the women were pampered as treasures, and he wanted to be reborn as a girl. Of course, Zhao Yingyue was slapped on the back of the head again.
As soon as Xining lay down, she received a message from Mo Ming: "The mission is completed, come back!"
What, what, sister’s good life has just begun and is about to end? Doesn't it have to be the day before the wedding?
Whether you like it or not, when you open your eyes, you have returned to the planet.
She was already very tall, almost towering to the sky for her, but still wearing an old man's shirt, black pants and thong shoes, with a stiff face, Mo Ming was really not used to it. I miss the glutinous rice dumplings of the past so much, they were soft and cute, but unfortunately I can’t go back, never go back.
Looking at her planet again, there was moss growing on the ground, and there were ferns on top of the moss. Looking at it, it was green, and her mood improved a lot.
Mo Ming only said one word: "Look!"
A page appeared in front, showing the situation after the body owner returned.
After Zhao Yinghong returned, she continued to practice martial arts every morning. Of course it's not for the sake of becoming the top martial artist, I just want to make my thin body stronger.
The Zhenguo General's Mansion bought many more slaves to fill the vacancies. Those who had redeemed themselves before wanted to come back to work as long-term workers or even sell themselves again, but they were all rejected. Seeing that the four maids beside the young lady are all free, the new slaves have more expectations.
Although the maid next to her felt that the young lady had changed a bit, she didn't think much about it. After all, the body owner had spent five years in the Rongguo Duke's mansion, and he was no longer the unruly and willful silly young lady.
Zhou Zexian's injury has recovered, and he has begun to study hard every day, preparing to participate in a rare enke.
By the time Qiu Wei Enke arrived, Zhou Zexian was ranked second in high school. In fact, he was originally supposed to be the No. 1 scholar, but the officials were afraid that others would say that he relied on the Zhenguo General's Mansion to get the No. 1 scholar, so they reluctantly gave him the second place. But when it came to giving official positions, I no longer had any worries. The number one scholar was awarded a sixth-rank official. For Zhou Zexian, the official family directly granted him a fifth-rank official. They also gave special approval to expand the Zhou Mansion on the original site. They bought all the neighboring houses and expanded it from three-in and out into a large garden. A mansion worthy of the county lord.
Regarding the fact that both parties never gave up on each other, after getting married, the two treated each other with respect and had a good relationship. Zhou Zexian never took any concubines, but he and Zhao Yinghong had a full house of descendants, and they stayed together until they were old. When Qiuye and other maids reached their age, Zhao Yinghong did not break his promise and made the decision for them. In order to protect his daughter and son-in-law, General Zhao left many secret guards behind after returning to Yanguan. It was originally supposed to be changed, but I didn't expect that the secret guards had already kept an eye on those maids. They usually fawned over them, saved up enough wife books, and got married.
When Dongmei and Qiuye got married, Zhao Yinghong gave them a lot of dowry, which was equivalent to that of a legitimate daughter from a small family. This makes people envious. Some people say that they would rather be a maid from a wealthy family than a daughter from a poor family.
Of course, Dongmei married the secret guard who she "knocked out" with a stick. The secret guard woke up and was still unable to get up from the bed. Dongmei took care of him for three days by delivering food and food. Later, when he realized that he had been deceived, he was so angry that he picked up a stick and chased the secret guard all over the yard. After beating him, he rolled together.
This made many maids in the mansion have thoughts, and the remaining single secret guards had to be careful at all times for fear of being knocked unconscious with a stick. It is a good thing to have a daughter-in-law, but if by chance, she is beaten to death, who will she complain to?
There was an incident when Zhou Zexian went to take the Qiuwei exam. His younger brother Zhou Zeming followed Zhao Heming and took the military attache exam together.
Zhou Zeming barely made it onto the list, but Zhao Heming was so good that he got the 28th place in the exam. It was a test for military attachés. There were many experts everywhere, and they had to use their fists and kicks, and they also relied on military strategies. These two guys, both only thirteen years old, can fight against adult men who have practiced martial arts for many years. That is not easy.
The imperial edict was sent to the Zhenguo General's Mansion. After receiving it, Zhao Heming stood up and said with great joy: "Father, third uncle, I am now a man of honor. Don't hit me again in the future!"
After saying that, he still felt it was not enough: "Mom, you don't need to study anymore, I passed the exam!" Not to mention, he was so lucky that he couldn't stop him, because the exam happened to be what he had just learned.
The prince blew his beard and stared: "Your skin is itchy again? Believe it or not, I will deal with you now!" But after all, today his son has achieved fame, and the fight will be tomorrow. Everyone went to have a celebration banquet happily.
Later, Zhao Yingyue fell in love with the fourth lady of the Zhou family of Shangshu Dushi. Although Shangshu Dushi's family background was a bit low, she spoke upright when General Zhao and his son were imprisoned. Miss Zhou was also well-educated and talented, so when Zhao Yingyue said, Mrs. Zhao sent a matchmaker to propose marriage. Mr. Zhou, seeing the benevolence and righteousness of Zhongzhenguo General Mansion, readily agreed. When the officials heard about it, they were very grateful and gave the Zhou family a good job, and they were promoted to three levels in one go.
The prestige of the Zhenguo General's Mansion remains undiminished, with loyalty from generation to generation, and the glory continues with this dynasty...
There are many houses next to the imperial mausoleum, where the tomb-keepers live, many of whom are relatives of the emperor and favorites of the previous dynasty. Although the house was not much different, it was as deserted as a cold palace, and even had a lingering air of coldness.
Zhao Yingxue stood at the table in fear, carefully picked up a piece of lotus root with chopsticks, and was about to put it into the bowl on the table. Suddenly, the concubine Liu Concubine, the prince of the county, who was chatting and turned slightly unconsciously, was bumped into. The lotus root slices fell off and hit the ground. Liu Ruxu, who was already Princess Anjun's side concubine, suddenly darkened her face. The maid next to her immediately slapped her and scolded: "You are a born bitch, you deliberately made Liu side concubine unable to eat well." No?”
King An was demoted to King An; King Hua was demoted to Duke Hua; Duke Rong was demoted to Duke Rong, and the entire government was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Of course, the previous marriage grant was still useful. Liu Ruxu was still the concubine, but the prince's concubine became the county prince's concubine.
Zhao Yingxue covered her face and immediately cried: "Why should you hit me? You are just a slave!"
The eldest maid sneered: "So what if I beat you? At least I am still the slave of the concubine, so who are you?"
Zhao Yingxue choked, lowered her head and cried with great grievance and anger.
The imperial concubine, who was also eating, felt irritable and couldn't help but slap her chopsticks on the table: "I really can't live without eating, so go kneel in the yard outside."
"Your Highness~" Zhao Yingxue looked at Prince An with tears in her eyes, but Prince An didn't look at her at all. He continued to pick up a mouthful of vegetables and eat slowly, chewing carefully as if she didn't exist.
The two women immediately stepped forward, twisted her left and right, and escorted her to the center of the yard. They kicked her behind the knees, causing her to kneel on the hot stone floor.
"Kneel down, otherwise you won't be able to eat today!" A woman yelled in a rough voice, and then she and another woman went to hide in a shady place under the eaves.
It was midsummer in July, and the sun was blazing down from the sky. The stone slab was so hot that you could fry an egg, and it was so hot that Zhao Yingxue's tears disappeared as soon as they hit the ground.
After Zhao Yingxue ran to the third prince, she did have a good few days. It was just like being in the palace, with people waiting on her, silks, satins, and bird's nests. She dreamed that she could at least be a concubine after the third prince got married. Unexpectedly, King An broke into the palace with his ministers, which angered Long Yan. He was demoted to a county king, and the whole government guarded the imperial mausoleum.
She was also taken to the imperial mausoleum together, and she still has no status. Prince An didn't even want to see her. He only entered her house when he was in the most unhappy mood. He did things roughly without any gentleness and left immediately after finishing the work.
The main concubine, the two concubines, and the servants who came with them all put all their resentment on her.
I also thought about running away, but at that time the Prince's Mansion was completely surrounded. And here, there are also officers and soldiers in charge, and if you don't ride a horse, you won't be able to escape for a long time.
It's all your own fault, and only you have to bear it. Zhao Yingxue gritted her teeth and knelt for half an hour before she fainted and was thrown into her room.
After Zhao Yingxue woke up, she could only drag her heavy body to the kitchen. But it was already past the meal time, and all the remaining food was in the swill bucket, and the two dogs were eating happily around the bucket.
At this time, Zhao Yingxue couldn't bear it anymore and fell down on the greasy floor of the kitchen, crying loudly. But it was indeed the cook who was leaning at the door, holding a toothpick in her mouth, who was sarcastic.
A few days later, a raging fire broke out in the courtyard where Prince An lived in the middle of the night. Grease was poured on the fire and there was no time to save it.
The last time I saw Zhao Yingxue was in Concubine Liu's house, Concubine Liu and Zhao Yingxue's curses and calls for help were slowly replaced by screams, which made people shudder.
Prince An was staying in Concubine Liu's house that day. He kicked open the window and escaped. Concubine Liu was caught by Zhao Yingxue, who wanted to die with her, and could not escape in time.
Although King An escaped, one side of his face was burned. Although the official sent a doctor to treat him, there were still some scars.
Even though the scar is not big, the uneven skin on one side of the cheek is still very obvious. A prince with a disfigured face would be unsightly. Not to mention inheriting the throne, he would not even be able to serve as an official in the court.
After Concubine Xian heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, her son's life was safe. Prince An died of illness at the age of forty-three, leaving behind two daughters. The prince who ascended the throne and became the new emperor arranged the marriage, and the marriage went smoothly.
Duke Rongguo became Duke Rongjun, the Duke could still be hereditary, and the position of the crown prince of Zhao Chengzong still existed. And when Prince Hua became Duke of Hua, the county master of Jiashun County was gone. Jiashun, who became the eldest daughter of Duke Hua, still retained the temperament of being the county master. Not to mention Zhao Chengzong, even the mother-in-law and the Duke's wife were not convinced and drove all Zhao Chengzong's roommates to the Duke's wife.
Duke Hua, who also guards the imperial mausoleum, lives nearby anyway and often cheers for his precious daughter. So in the courtyard where he lived, there was a lot of noise every day, which made the Duke and Mrs. Madam almost have a stroke.
Anyway, whether you are happy or noisy, your whole life will pass like this, the personnel will change, but the country will remain the same.
