Chapter 113 Washing the General's Clothes with His Wife
Chapter 113 Washing the General's Clothes with His Wife
Ye Xingxin looked at Zhang Liang, who was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close, and raised his chin, and continued slowly:
"When Lord Zheng's ambition led him to extend his claws to General Zhao's wife's clothes, his weak wife found out."
"At first she thought her husband was cheating on her, but she treated the mistress so well. She is truly a role model for a man."
"After she found out that the clothes belonged to the general's wife, she was confused for many days. It was not until her husband reached out to General Zhao's two sons and three daughters that she could no longer do anything."
"So he set his sights on his wife who was in a daze and crying for no apparent reason all day in the Yu residence."
"Perhaps because she was hit too hard, Lord Zheng's wife got Lord Zheng's explanation and knew that her husband had no relationship with the general's wife, and that he just admired General Zhao so much that she did these unknown and unrewarded things for his family."
“She was deeply moved.”
Ministers:...
Emperor Jingming and others: ...
Damn it, there’s no such thing as the most outrageous, only more outrageous!
Zhao Zhentian clenched his fist and punched Zheng Qiu in the face, who was smiling at him in admiration.
He could tolerate this person washing his clothes. As a grown man, he thought it was okay except that it was a little disgusting.
But he had washed his wife's and daughter's clothes, and the thought of the underwear among them made him furious.
The whole person was on the verge of fuming.
Cui Luoshan was still a young man. When he heard this, he blushed and asked a sharp question:
"Did those servants just watch Master Zheng wash the general's wife and daughter's...clothes...clothes?"
Ye Xingxin was quite smart and immediately understood what this guy was asking. He shook his head:
"After all, he is a family child. The maids wash the mistress's underwear and other things themselves. This is their only bottom line."
At this time, Zhao Zhentian waved another fist in front of Zheng Qiu. Hearing the news, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was okay.
Zheng Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't have to get punched again.
But to his disappointment, his disgusting expression made General Zhao feel nauseous, and he punched him a few more times before stopping.
Zheng Qiu was beaten so hard that his whole body ached, and his face was covered with tears and snot. Facing the ministers and the prince who were watching helplessly, he turned to the prince for help in a hoarse voice:
"Your Highness, I, your humble servant... I, your humble servant... How can you use force in the Golden Palace? It is really..." Too rude.
Before he could finish his words, the prince gave him a cold look and Zheng Qiu shut up instantly.
After hearing this story, Hao Duanzhuang's eyes sparkled. He urged, "Keep going."
Ye Xingxin cleared his throat and said, "Mrs. Zheng was so moved that she wanted to share her husband's work. So she and her husband kept it a secret from the servants in the mansion. They often washed the clothes of General Zhao and his family in the middle of the night in the cold winter with lanterns."
"At that time, the maids in charge of laundry at General Zhao's house were deeply shocked. They couldn't understand the couple's train of thought. But since they wanted to do it and spent a lot of money to do it, they would not stop them from doing something that would make life easy. So they sent buckets of clothes to the couple."
"Sometimes when Lord Zheng was busy, his wife would wash more things. When he came back and saw his wife's achievements, he would reward her with a headdress and some embezzled silks, so his wife would work even harder."
"Once, Zheng Qiu's wife accidentally washed General Zhao's clothes. When Zheng Qiu came back, there was nothing to wash, so he went into a cold war with his wife for a month. From then on, General Zhao's clothes belonged to him alone."
Zhao Zhentian: ...
His cheeks bulged and he cried out in anger in his heart, "Stop talking, Lord Ye, please stop talking."
My heart can't bear the actions of these two who are even more prodigal than other prodigals!
Zheng Qiu was looking at Zhao Zhentian with self-admiration. After hearing this, he wondered if he regretted hitting him just now!
Emperor Jingming turned his head away, unable to bear listening. Upon hearing this, he felt his temples throbbing.
So it was necessary to say: "The current emperor's vision in selecting ministers is really not very good. He has collected all the weirdos."
Prince:......
Father, you have lost your memory and don’t know your identity, but could you please have a little respect for the emperor?
Otherwise it would be so embarrassing to come back and know that we can see you thousands of miles away.
Weird guy Wang Kaihe, Nong Minchang: …
Your Majesty, please explain clearly how we blame you.
Ministers:...
I see. Your Majesty, who has lost his memory, looks down upon his former self.
Ye Xingxin smiled and added, "By the way, General Zhao's favorite grandson is the ten-month-old one. It is said that his diapers are still being washed by Lord Zheng. Some of the diapers were purchased by Lord Zheng himself, and there are quite a few of them piled up at home."
"If General Zhao had the opportunity to investigate, he would definitely see a lot of how Lord Zheng feels about him."
Zhao Zhentian: ...Whoever wants this shitty gift can take it, he can’t afford it anyway.
Ye Xingxin: "Lord Zheng and his wife do this every day, and have honed their skills in washing clothes quickly and cleanly. Even though this skill... did not come from a legitimate source, it is still a token of their appreciation."
Ye Shengxin made a conclusion on the matter, and then mentioned why Zheng Qiu embezzled money from the court and his good friend.
"This is actually related to General Zhao."
Zhao Zhentian was so confused that he almost felt numb. How could this matter have anything to do with him?
Many ministers in the court looked at him with pity or regret. It was such a misfortune to be admired by such a person.
Prime Minister Shangguan comforted his friend: "Old Zhao, you have heard all the outrageous things before. How much more outrageous can there be in the future? You can bear it."
Xu Zhong also advised: "We all know that the corruption has nothing to do with you. Don't take it to heart and don't take the blame."
Nong Minchang: "It was bound to happen. Fortunately it's your turn this time. It will be someone else's next time. Don't worry, General."
Zhao Zhentian nodded and said, "Thank you very much. I understand."
Ye Shengxin drank a sip of the water poured by Cui Luoshan, put down the bowl and continued to answer his questions.
"Lord Zheng Qiu Zheng didn't have a good relationship with his mother, so he was given a simple funeral, but he was good to me and General Zhao, otherwise he wouldn't have done the laundry for his family for so many years."
"So all the money he embezzled was used to build his and General Zhao's tombs a hundred years later."
"He has already built a large coffin for himself and General Zhao. It is made entirely of gold and has a tomb made entirely of gold. He is just waiting for the two of them to lie in a pile of gold and share their wealth after death."
"It was precisely because he spent all his money in this place, his home was simple, and he had few servants, that in the eyes of the emperor and his colleagues, he was basically considered an honest and capable minister, and his image remained intact for many years."
Zhao Zhentian: ...a tomb after death?
Like most ancient people, he regarded death as life and paid more attention to what happened after his death.
After being helped to stand, he rubbed his aching and swollen head with his fingers.
He really is relieved too early!
Prime Minister Shangguan: He made a mistake. He underestimated Lord Zheng’s admiration for General Zhao.
Zhang Liang twitched his lips. "Even if General Zhao passed away, according to his status and the trust Your Majesty had in him, as long as he had not rebelled during his lifetime, he would have been buried with the Emperor in the Imperial Mausoleum after his death. How could he be buried with Zheng Qiu?"
"Isn't this his work in vain?"
Ministers: Yes, yes, Zheng Qiu must understand this truth.
