214th forced palace
Zhou Charter has been helped by many people today. Li Hongzhang, Nie Shicheng, Liu Kunyi, Huang Zunyi, Duan Fang, and even Zhenfei. These noble ministers of the imperial court are all royalists. Huang Zunxian and Zhang Zhidong are also very close to Tang Cai. Without them, Zhou Charter could not have been in just over a year. In time, he changed from a soldier to a prince.
What's more, his kindness is the noble of the Qing Dynasty! Jin is in love with Zhou Charter and his son. This old man can give up his lifelong feudal etiquette for Zhou Charter, but if Zhou Charter takes the army to overthrow the Manchu Qing court, Jin must commit suicide!
Sure enough, Tang Cai often shouted, "General Zhou, your teacher, Jin, receive the favor of the emperor, and are loyal to the Qing Dynasty. General Zhou will not part with his mentor, will he?"
As soon as he mentioned Jin, Zhou Charter had a headache and had to say, "Where did Mr. Tang say this? My teacher and I are in love with father and son. How can we do something that makes him sad?"
"Is General Zhou willing to be the slave of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Unfortunately, if you want to be a slave, the Qing court doesn't want you as a slave!" Qiu Jin shouted, "Well, since General Zhou has made up his mind, we revolutionaries will take the prison and ask your master for credit!"
Zhou Charter hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? Regardless of the revolution, we are now cooperating to build Taiwan. How can we fight internally?"
"It seems that General Zhou has made up his mind to cooperate with Sun Wen?" Tang Cai often scolded, "In this case, General Zhou, please kill me immediately and show his merit to Sun Wen, the traitor!"
Zhou Charter was often forced to make a statement by Qiu Jin and Tang Cai, and his heart was very angry. The two factions were too anxious, not to mention that Zhou Charter had no idea now. Even if he made up his mind, it was impossible for him to talk nonsense about such a big thing on this occasion. This is not persuasion, it is obviously forcing people!
Tang Qunying was the most sober. Seeing that both sides were red-eyed, he hurriedly said, "Brother, Sister Qiu, we came today mainly because of General Zhou's family affairs. Let's just talk about things and don't get too far away."
Tang Caichang and Qiu Jin realized that the topic went astray. It is a big deal to fight for Zhou Charter. Because it is a big deal, it is no longer possible to force Zhou Charter to make a statement on this occasion, which is too serious.
Tang Cai often coughed hurriedly: "I thought that the marriage of General Zhou and Meilixi..."
"What kind of marriage? He is a robbery woman!" Ge Yun said deliciously.
Tang Cai often said angrily, "You girl, you know how to beat a stick and wear a hat. General Zhou and Meilixi are originally talented and beautiful women. If you want, there is no plot of robbery! Think about it yourself. Meilixi is the most beautiful woman in Alishan. If General Zhou is forced to marry, how could the Alishan Zou clan send their children to help Zhang Jun fight against the Japanese army? At the small west gate, the Alishan column was killed by more than 300 people. They are willing to fight for Zhou Charter!"
Tang Cai often said the truth. Qiu Jin and Ge Yunhao can't deny it. Ge Yunhao had to say, "But it's not right for a man to marry several wives."
"What's wrong!" Tang Cai often shouted, "General Zhou is an upright man with three wives and four concubines, which was originally a logical thing! This is the national situation of this Qing Dynasty! You guys want to change the national conditions of the Qing Dynasty, isn't it too self-evage?"
"This is a foolish and backward national situation!" Qiu Jin shouted.
Tang Qunying hurriedly agreed: "Sister Qiu, brother, I don't think this matter can be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Now Zhou Charter has just returned home. He and his wife haven't seen each other for more than a year. We are noisy here and don't let couples meet. No matter who is right or wrong, in fact, everyone is wrong. Well, that's all in advance. Let's talk about it in a couple of days.
Zhou Charter was blocked outside his hall and couldn't meet Zhao Qiaoer. His heart was anxious. Hearing Tang Qunying's words, he was relieved and hurriedly said, "I will attach great importance to the opinions made by Mr. Tang and Ms. Qiu today. That's matter today. That's all for today, ah, etc. After discussing with my wife, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Please make way for this.
Qiu Jin also realized that the real purpose of coming to Taiwan is to win Zhou Charter to support the revolution. Now that this mess makes Tang Cai often become a good person, and the gains outweigh the losses. Moreover, looking at this situation, Mei Lixi's matter is really not Zhou Charter's forced to marry. In this way, Meilixi and Zhao Qiaoer, are both under feudal thought. He wanted to poison too much, and he cried and shouted that he wanted to marry Zhou Charter as a concubine. In the Qing Dynasty, there are so many poor and hateful women!
Qiu Jin had no choice but to say, "Mr. Sun's suggestion, please ask Zhou Charter to seriously consider it. As for the matter of Merry Creek, General Zhou can take care of himself. Say goodbye!"
The three women of Xiaoxiang left the governor's mansion. Tang Cai often relieved Zhou Charter and narrowed the distance with Zhou Charter. He was secretly happy and said goodbye to Zhou Charter. The backyard of the governor's mansion calmed down.
Zhou Charter sent Qiu Jin and Tang Cai away, and then he hurriedly ran into the back hall. He saw the old lady Qin sitting on the hall. Zhao Qiaoer and Liu Yingshu accompanied the old lady, and Xiao Cui was waiting carefully.
Zhou Charter pushed Jinshan down the jade pillar, knelt on his knees in front of the old lady Qin, and shouted, "Mom, my son is back!" For a moment, tears flowed so long that he couldn't speak. The old lady of the Qin family is his mother-in-law, but in Zhou Charter's mind, she is his mother! Over the past year, Mrs. Qin has moved from North Korea to Taiwan. She was frightened and didn't live a stable day. Zhou Charter felt guilty!
Mrs. Qin also sobbed, trembling and stretched out her hands. After a long time, she said a sentence: "Charter, I see you!" Zhao Xiaoman, the biological son of the old lady of Qin, died in North Korea. The old lady regarded Zhou Charter as her own son. She had not seen her for more than a year, and she was also in tears.
Zhou Charter knelt down for two steps and threw himself into the old lady's arms. The mother and son cried with a headache. Zhao Qiaoer and Liu Yingshu also bowed their heads and sobbed, and the whole family cried.
I don't know how long it took. Xiao Cui advised: "Old lady, General Zhou, today is a good day for a family reunion. Everyone should be happy. Old lady, the food is ready. It's time for everyone to have a reunion dinner.
The old lady Qin woke up and said hurriedly, "Look at me, the old woman, I'm confused. Charter has come so far that she should have been hungry long ago."
Xiao Cui greeted the people to bring wine and dishes, arranged them in the hall, and the family sat at the table. Mrs. Qin sat down. Zhou Charter then picked up a glass of wine and raised it to the old lady: "Mom, my son has toasted you. I wish the old lady good health and all the best."
The old lady couldn't close her mouth happily, picked up the glass, and drank it all. The old lady in Northeast China was good at drinking!
After drinking a glass of wine, Zhou Charter poured another glass, raised it to Zhao Qiaoer and bowed deeply to Zhao Qiaoer: "Qiaoer, in this year, you have to do filial piety for me, and you have to be a hostage for the Empress Dowager Cixi! I'm sorry for my husband. Today, I will drink this glass of wine in front of my mother and promise you that from now on, I won't let you suffer a little grievance, otherwise I won't die for my husband!" Zhou Charter was drunk at once.
Zhao Qiaoer held back her tears, drank the wine in the glass and said, "I'm not the only one who is afraid of you as a hostage for Empress Dowager Cixi!"
Zhou Charter hurriedly filled the glass and saluted Liu Yingshu: "Yingshu, it's polite for my husband. You and Qiaoer are my wife of Zhou Charter. I have made a statement to the court and ask the court to seal you as your wife!"
Liu Yingshu pouted: "How can there be two wives? Where will the court agree?"
Zhou Charter laughed: "The court disagrees. I, Zhou Charter, don't care. In Taiwan, I have the final say! Yingshu, you are sure to be this predetermined wife. In the future, there will be two predetermined wives in my Zhou family. When the brothers Zhang Jun see you, you must salute!"
Liu Yingshule can't close her mouth. She was originally a prostitute, but she married Zhou Charter. How could she think that she could get a life-saving lady? That's a great blessing! In fact, she did not expect the imperial court's wife. The brothers of Zhangjun all knew her origin. They were respectful in front of Zhao Qiaoer and were not so respectful in front of Liu Yingshu. Now, Zhou Charter gave her a predestinatory title. When those brothers saw Liu Yingshu, they had to call her madam regularly!
Liu Yingshu drank wine and said, "Faband, I heard that Meilixi is very beautiful. Husband, no matter how beautiful she is, Sister Qiaoer is also your wife. You can't let Sister Qiaoer be wronged." Today, Qiu Jin and the others made a lot of noise at the door of the back hall. No matter how open-minded Zhao Qiaoer is, she can't help but feel a knot in her heart.
Zhou Charter sighed, "Qiaoer, this matter is about to be discussed with you and us." Zhou Charter finished the book about Merry Creek and finally said, "I made a three-chapted treaty with Merry Creek. This marriage must first be told to my mother and Qiao'er. If you don't agree, my Zhou Charter will treat this as if it has never happened!" Mom, Qiaoer, do you agree with me to marry Merry Creek?"
The old lady of the Qin family said, "Qiaoer, there is nothing we can do about the charter. If we don't agree, then Meilixi will be wronged and take the Alishan Zou people to rebel, and the charter will be in trouble. I think this matter is still at the Charter.
Zhou Charter said, "Mom, if Qiaoer doesn't agree, I will never marry Merry Creek. The Zou people in Alishan are also reasonable. I'll find another way to deal with this matter.
"What can you think of?" Zhao Qiaoer glanced at Zhou Charter: "You have occupied other people's bodies, and then you don't want them. That's really become a high government! Our Zhou family has really become a bully!"
Zhou Charter smiled and said, "Qiao'er, do you agree?"
"It's useless for me to agree!" Zhao Qiaoer's face sank.
