Zhao Ping wanted to open the door, but found that it was tightly bolted.
Zhao Ping knocked on the door gently twice and shouted: "Cui Zhu, open the door, open the door. You listen to me."
But no matter how many times Zhao Ping shouted, the wooden door still did not open.
People were still sobbing, and the door was still bolted.
Zhao Ping took a breath, looked at the wooden door and said loudly: "Green bamboo, the world is old and the earth is old, the sea is dry and the stone is rotten, this heart will not change."
The sobbing inside the door became quieter. Zhao Ping knocked on the door again, but still did not open the door.
"Cui Zhu, it's an emergency in West County. I'm leaving." After saying that, he left his courtyard.
What Zhao Ping didn't know was that as soon as he came out of his courtyard, Cuizhu started sobbing louder.
I don’t know where Xi County’s emergency slave family is, but the slave family just needs you. Why are you so heartless?
Hearing the sound of Zhao Ping's footsteps leaving, Cuizhu was heartbroken and unable to sit on the chair.
Just when I came out of the Moon Gate of Cuizhu Courtyard, I met a seven or eight-year-old little girl Qin'er.
Her master is Jiuniang of the Zhang family, the youngest daughter of Zhang Si, the chief bookkeeper of Zhaojiazhuang.
"This slave doesn't want to live anymore." She said pitifully while sobbing and looking at Zhao Ping.
"Weren't you doing well just now?" Zhao Ping asked hurriedly: "Why is this like this?"
"Because the little lady of the slave family doesn't want to live, what's the point of living as a slave?" Qin'er sobbed and rubbed her already red and swollen eyes.
Cuizhu ignored him, and Zhang Jiuniang didn't want to live anymore. Why did bad things get crowded together?
Zhao Ping looked at Qin'er carefully and found that she was not lying.
Zhao Ping gently wiped Qin'er's tears with a handkerchief and said, "You lead the way, I'll go take a look."
Qin'er choked while leading the way.
What surprised Zhao Ping was that not only Qin'er was crying, but other little maids also came up and cried around him, saying that their little ladies didn't want to live anymore.
They are about the same age as Qin'er, and they are the maids of Wang Jiuniang, Jiang Ying, Xi Lingzhu, Yu Mohua, Li Hanmei and others.
Seeing these little maids Yanyan Yingying sobbing in front of him, Zhao Ping felt that his head was big.
If Zhao Ping still doesn't understand the reason, he must be a fool.
Although Zhao Ping and other concubines usually fight openly and secretly among themselves, they still maintain a delicate balance between each other.
Although they have different family backgrounds and births, their status in the Zhao family is similar.
But when her mother announced her marriage to Zhao Ping, the original delicate balance was completely broken, as if a huge stone hit the water, causing huge waves.
This is not the original concubines, but Zhao Ping's wife, the future mistress of this family.
She is the owner of the back house, and besides her mother, her status is hers.
Although Zhao Ping is also the head of the family, the mistress of the back house is still in charge.
Although these concubines did not come, only the maids and maids came, obviously just to see Zhao Ping's attitude.
Too many women are troublesome. Although he was fuming in his heart, Zhao Ping still had to comfort them one by one.
It seems that although these concubines are not old, they are big-minded, and all of them are inefficient lamps.
Wang Jiuniang, Zhang Jiuniang, and Yu Mohua have already passed by, and Zhao Ping has to consider where to stay.
Although she is a concubine in the eyes of others, Zhao Ping is a beloved woman in his heart, how can he treat her badly?
Zhao Ping and his mother have an independent courtyard, so of course they should be given an independent courtyard with an attic.
Zhao Ping was still young and did not consummate his marriage with them, leaving them with a fact of his own.
The attic is of course the first floor and the bottom. It has a patio, study room, piano room, bedroom, maid's room, kitchen, etc. It is actually like a small home. .
The patio is not only well-lit, but also decorated with yellow orchids, roses, and sweet-scented osmanthus, making it warm and elegant.
Unexpectedly, when several other women, including Cuizhu, saw it, they all liked it very much and asked to build it again.
Sometimes they live here and sometimes they go back to their parents' home. Anyway, both sides are their homes.
The first thing Zhao Ping came to was Xilingzhu. After all, this was his first concubine.
Zhao Ping cured her mother's 20-year-old problem. She was half-admired and half-grateful, and she wanted to take the initiative to be Zhao Ping's concubine.
In terms of appearance alone, among Zhao Ping's concubines, she cannot be said to be the most beautiful, but she is the most attractive.
She has a rather impatient personality, and is the kind of lady who is sharp-tongued and has a soft heart.
Brother Xi Lingzhu is the chief secretary of the security team and an old man in the security team. He can be regarded as Zhao Ping's right-hand man.
Her father, uncle and other relatives are the shopkeepers of the workshops below Zhaojiazhuang, and they are also old people in Zhaojiazhuang.
This relationship must be good and comforted.
Passing through the Moon Gate, I saw all the doors were closed.
Xi Lingzhu's bedroom was on the second floor, and her sobbing sounds could be heard from inside.
Zhao Ping called her name and knocked on the door.
I don't know, these women seemed to have made an agreement today, but they just didn't open the door and hid in the room sobbing.
Zhao Ping had no choice but to repeat his original words: "As time goes by, this will never change."
Speaking is also an art. You can't do more or less of this, otherwise some people will say you are partial.
He called Lingzhu a few more times, and when he saw that the door was not open, he left.
Xi Lingzhu leaned behind the door and said softly: "Official, I know you have the slave family in your heart."
However, Zhao Ping had already left and did not hear Xi Lingzhu speak.
Wang Jiuniang is Zhao Ping's second concubine. Her father is the magistrate of Xixian County and is also Zhao Ping's right-hand man.
Her family background is even more incredible. Not only is she a descendant of the seven sects of the five surnames of the former Tang Dynasty, but she is also a descendant of Wang Wei.
Now that Xi County has reached a critical moment, Wang Wenxiu cannot be disappointed.
She has very fair skin, delicate facial features, and a bookish smell.
If you think she is gentle, you are definitely wrong.
She is a legitimate daughter and the youngest daughter of Wang Wenxiu. She plays piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is deeply loved by her parents.
She is both talented and beautiful, and the Wang family did not consider Zhao Ping at all.
Unexpectedly, God was not kind. Changyuan County suffered from drought for several years and crops failed every year.
The Wang family, which considers itself a family of farming and studying, was very sad. Her father was being pressed harder by his younger brother Wang Wenfu, and the position of the patriarch was almost lost.
Wang Wenxiu had to let her be Zhao Ping's concubine for his position as clan leader and to save the Wang family.
She had a strong personality and did not want to be Zhao Ping's concubine. She still used her white teeth to leave an eternal memory on Zhao Ping's arms.
Later, when Zhao Ping saved her natal family, especially her father, she realized how powerful Zhao Ping was and fell in love with him unknowingly.
When Zhao Ping came to Wang Jiuniang's small building, he didn't expect to have a closed meal as well.
Not only did she not open the door, but her nanny also didn't open the door. Tiexin gave Zhao Ping a slap in the face.
Although Wang Jiuniang didn't open the door, her maid Shuer's eyes were fixed on Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping wanted a bowl of water to be leveled, so he had to repeat the actions and words he just said.
Watching Zhao Ping leave the small building where Lingzhu and Wang Jiuniang were staying first, the little maid Qin'er draped her lips but didn't say anything.
Although she was the first little maid to find Zhao Ping, her master, who came to Zhaojiazhuang in order to comfort them, left her speechless.
Zhang Jiuniang is Zhao Ping's third concubine, and Qin'er is her maid.
Her origins are not small. Have you heard of Zhang Sanying, a famous figure in the Song Dynasty?
I haven’t heard of it, but you must have read Yun Po Yue Lai Hua Nong Ying.
Yes, she is Zhang Sanying's descendant.
She was born into a family of farming and studying. Like Wang Jiuniang, she has a good family background and is a lady of the family.
She also has exquisite facial features, fair skin, and a very gentle personality. She is also a legitimate daughter and can also play chess, calligraphy, and painting.
It should be said that she did not have much interaction with Zhao Ping, but God made clever arrangements.
The Hu people attacked Chengdu and burned and killed everywhere.
In order to avoid the barbarians, her family hid in Longquan Mountain and almost starved to death.
At this critical moment, Zhao Ping's security team defeated the Hu people and went up the mountain to save the entire Zhang family.
At this time, Zhao Ping's literary name shocked the world, and with the security team and Zhaojiazhuang in hand, he could be said to be the great savior of Chengdu Prefecture.
Although Zhao Ping is young, he has great prospects.
In order to repay their kindness, her family even hugged Zhao Ping's lap and gave her to Zhao Ping as a concubine.
She is your legitimate daughter, how can she be your concubine? However, Zhao Ping was very kind to her and the whole family, and she fell in love with Zhao Ping unknowingly.
Zhang Jiuniang also has a wet nurse and a maid. Like Wang Jiuniang, they are both members of her natal family.
Looking at the unfriendly look in Qin'er's eyes, Zhao Ping shook his head.
Her master is powerful, and this little maid is not a weakling either.
With Mingzhi eating the meal behind closed doors, Zhao Ping had to repeat the words and actions just now.
But this cannot be done perfunctorily, it must be sincere and full of emotion.
The person was still sobbing and the door was still closed.
Although Zhao Ping already knew the result, he still solemnly completed the ceremony.
Yumohua is the flower of peach blossom imitation. It looks like a peach blossom and has the best slim figure.
Among the concubines, she is the most courageous.
The way she showed her love was extremely dangerous, and she expressed it by sacrificing herself, so Zhao Ping was forced to accept her.
As for tutoring, she is somewhat similar to Cuizhu. She is only literate and has nothing to do with playing, chess, calligraphy and painting.
However, her efforts paid off. Zhao Ping allowed her father and brother to become minor officials directly without taking the imperial examination.
She hid in her room and sobbed, listening with sharp ears for Zhao Ping's arrival.
The familiar sound of Zhao Ping's footsteps finally arrived, and she heard Zhao Ping gently calling her name.
Yu Mohua sobbed while secretly looking at Zhao Ping through the crack in the door.
When she heard Zhao Ping say, "As time goes by, this will never change." She carefully observed Zhao Ping's movements and expressions.
The door is not open, you won't be perfunctory with the slave family, right?
She couldn't believe it, Zhao Ping's tone was sincere, as if he was looking at herself and whispering love words to herself quietly.
Yumo Huaxin almost melted and wanted to open the door.
However, when she just touched the door bolt, she suddenly thought of the coming hostess.
She couldn't help but burst into tears, leaning against the wooden door to barely support herself.
When she heard Zhao Ping walking away, her body softened and she was about to fall down.
Fortunately, there was a chair in the room, and she managed to come here and sit down.
Li Hanmei is Zhao Ping's cousin and the only biological cousin.
Zhao Ping has the most complicated feelings for him. Zhao Ping himself cannot explain clearly what kind of family love is.
When Zhao Ping first traveled to Zhaojiazhuang, the government forced him to live in poverty, and his body was weak and his appearance was poor.
In order to repay her mother's past support, her uncle allowed her to settle down with Zhao Ping for life, but she and her aunt rejected her.
She never expected that the cousin she disliked would turn out to be very handsome and talented, and Zhaojiazhuang would become the richest in the world.
At this time, cousin Li Hanmei regretted it and thought of the engagement with her cousin, but it was already too late.
In fact, Li Hanmei is good-looking, with fair skin and handsome appearance, but Zhao Ping doesn't like the way she dislikes poverty and loves wealth.
After her aunt saw that Zhao Ping was prosperous, she tried every means to bring the cousins together.
But no matter how much my aunt tried to persuade me, my mother still insisted on her own limits.
The aunt had no choice but to allow her daughter to enter the Zhao family.
Because she saw that there was absolutely no uncle in the world who was better than Zhao Ping.
Although Zhao Ping's mother didn't like Li Hanmei very much, she was her niece after all, so she had no choice but to acquiesce in this matter.
Although Zhao Ping has complicated emotions, he will never be hypocritical.
Li Hanmei was also crying while secretly looking at Zhao Ping through the door.
When she heard Zhao Ping say, "As time goes by, this will never change." She couldn't help but feel overjoyed. It turned out that her cousin still liked her.
Hearing this, Li Hanmei burst into tears.
Just now, she was pretending to cry, but now she is really crying.
While others were sad and crying, she was crying with joy.
Excited, she opened the wooden door and let her cousin in.
However, she suddenly remembered her agreement with Cuizhu and the others and retracted her hand.
The sound of Zhao Ping's footsteps gradually faded away, but Li Hanmei was still thinking about it.
The next one is Jiang Ying. She is a descendant of Jiang Kui, a famous calligrapher and musician in the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, her father Jiang Jie is blind.
The father and daughter are still selling and singing to get by, and they have had one meal but no next meal.
Jiang Ying's skin can only be considered fair, but her facial features are pretty good, with big, smart eyes and a tall, small nose.
Zhao Ping stepped in to rescue the father and daughter and gave them new scores of "Butterfly Lovers" and "Swordsman".
Because Jiang Jie is blind, Zhao Ping is the perfumer of the Flower Fairy Workshop and still has a lot of shares, which completely solves the worries of the father and daughter.
Although Jiang Jie was blind, he was still working in Zhaojiazhuang, and soon an unmarried lady in her twenties married him.
Now not only did Jiang Jie have a second marriage, but he also had a six-month-old fetus. He was about to become a father again, so he was naturally extremely happy.
Jiang Ying was very grateful to Zhao Ping, but she liked his peerless talent even more and was willing to be Zhao Ping's concubine.
She closed the wooden door tightly in the small building and listened to Zhao Ping say in front of the door, "As time goes by, the seas and seas have dried up and the rocks have rotted away, but this heart will not change."
She listened to Zhao Ping's story, feeling both happy and bitter.
These words are exciting, but they are also said to others.
Although Zhao Ping is good, he is not hers alone, not to mention that her family background and appearance are not the best.
But she also knew that a man with such outstanding talent, both civil and military skills, and outstanding appearance did not belong to her at all.
Thinking of this, although she was regretful, she was also satisfied.
After Zhao Ping comforted several concubines, he came to his mother's courtyard and said goodbye to her mother.
"What's wrong with Cuizhu? You're not going?" Mother couldn't help but frown.
The military situation in Xi County is raging, but Cuizhu, the leader of the nurse camp, is being petty in Jintang County.
