On March 18th, after a chat, Zhao Ziliang and Zhao Ting each married a wife.
The father and son got married on the same day.
This made the people of Luoyang talk about it.
This topic continued for a long time among the military and civilians.
Naturally, the military lieutenants and generals had been feasting and drinking for several days.
On the morning of March 19th, in the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion, Zhao Ziliang was sitting on the main seat.
Mrs.
Meng was holding her son Zhao Chu and the newly married Princess Xinping were sitting on both sides.
Opposite were sitting Zhao Ting and Princess Yining.
The newlyweds were standing next to some servants and maids, and breakfast was already placed on the table.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Zhao Ziliang coughed twice and said: "Since Princess Xinping and Princess Yining have already married, we must properly handle the relationship between aunt and nephew, no, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the relationship between sisters." , don’t cause conflicts, jealousy, favors and other things that make other people laugh.
As the saying goes, everything will be happy if everything is in harmony with the family.”
"Puch!"
Zhao Ting couldn't help laughing and quickly turned his head to the side.
The servants and maids standing next to him also suppressed their laughter, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but slapped the table and shouted: "Why are you laughing?
What's so funny?
You are already a husband.
From now on, you have to teach your wife to be a virtuous, kind-hearted woman who upholds the integrity of the family.
You must also lead by example.
Don't do it."
You are wandering around outside behind your wife’s back.”
The finger turned and pointed at Mrs.
Meng and Princess Xinping, "And you two, we will be sisters from now on.
Sisters' families must help each other, be considerate of each other, and work together to handle family affairs.
Do you understand?"
"Pfft" Mrs.
Meng couldn't help laughing, and then Princess Xinping and Princess Yining also covered their mouths and giggled non-stop.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, brushed his sleeves and said: "How can this be unreasonable?"
and walked away.
After Zhao Ziliang left, Zhao Ting had enough laughter, stood up and said to several women: "Two aunts and madams, I still have official business to do, so I won't accompany you.
I'll go first."
Princess Yining quickly stood up and said, "I'll see you off."
After the young couple left, Mrs.
Meng said to Princess Xinping: "I have long heard that the princess is a hero among women.
She is not only proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but also likes to dance with swords and guns.
Her heroic appearance is very enviable.
Now that Chu'er has grown up, she is worse than He was even more naughty in the past.
I was too busy to take care of him, so I didn’t have the energy to take care of the trivial matters at home.
I think it’s better to let the princess take care of things at home."
Princess Xinping said: "Sister Meng can just call me sister.
Since I have married into the Zhao family, I will be a member of the Zhao family from now on.
Naturally, I have to abide by the rules of the Zhao family.
My sister has never cared about such things and has no experience." , Taking over rashly will only make things worse.

Since my sister has been taking care of this matter, she will simply continue to take care of it.
As for Chu'er, she will be taken care of by the servants and maids, and nothing will happen."
Mrs.
Meng saw that Princess Xinping really had no intention of taking charge of the family affairs, and she did not force it, and said: "Okay, in that case, I will continue to take charge.
My sister is from the royal family, and her daily expenses must have been very high.
My current monthly allowance is 20 guan.
I am afraid that this amount of money is not enough for my sister, so I will give it to my sister at 50 guan per month.
As for the maids and chambermaids brought by my sister, I will give them the monthly allowance in addition to the rest of the family.
A maid is the same as a servant, how about that?”
Princess Xinping said in surprise: "As a Taiwei, my husband is also the marshal of the world's troops.
He is responsible for countering rebellions.
Although his annual salary is not high, it is still quite a lot.
Plus the rewards from my father and so on, it should be enough."
Okay, why is my sister’s monthly monthly allowance so low?
These twenty dollars a month are not even enough to buy cosmetics.”
Mrs.
Meng smiled and said: "My sister may not know that the salary of officials in the court is actually not high.
Even if you add rewards from your majesty, it can't support the family's life for a year.
Even if you are more diligent and frugal, your life will be miserable.
My husband never Receive gifts from subordinates and other colleagues, and never give gifts to subordinates Instead of asking for money, he often gave some money to the military officers.
Finally, the family still had some property to earn money to support the family's food and clothing.
My husband did not like extravagance and waste, and advocated frugality, saying that it is easy to move from frugality to luxury. , It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, so the food and clothing at home are very simple.”
Princess Xinping heard this and said: "In that case, my salary will be the same as my sister's.
Since I have married into the Zhao family, I am a member of the Zhao family.
How can I be treated specially?"
"Oh well" At almost noon, Princess Xinping came to the front hall of the Marshal's Mansion with a cup of tea.
She saw Zhao Ziliang working on official documents at his desk.
Du Fu and the scribes next to him saw Princess Xinping arriving and all stood up to pay homage.
Princess Xinping waved for them to continue.
Zhao Ziliang felt the movement, turned around and saw Princess Xinping, and asked, "Why are you here in front?"
Princess Xinping smiled and said: "I am curious about what my husband is doing, so I came over to take a look and prepared some tea for my husband."
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then let me take you around."
Under the leadership of Zhao Ziliang, Princess Xinping visited all the departments and institutions in the office area in front of the Marshal's Mansion.
As she walked around, she asked: "Husband, why are the names of these subordinate yamen of the Marshal's Mansion the same as those of the imperial court?"
Yamen are very different.”
"Don't you think the names of these government agencies are very intuitive?
Do you know what they do at a glance?
The meaning is simple and clear.
Look at the Operations Department, which is responsible for commanding operations, and the Soldier Training Department, which is responsible for The yamen recruits and trains soldiers, and there is also the Ordnance and Equipment Department, which is the yamen that prepares weapons, armor, clothing and footwear for the army."
Princess Xinping nodded and said: "That's true."
After walking around, Zhao Ziliang said to Princess Xinping: "I forgot to tell you something.
There are military secrets everywhere in the front hall of the Marshal's Mansion.
In the future, if you don't have something particularly important, you can't come over casually.
Isn't that inappropriate?
I believe you, but the rules system, does the court also have regulations that do not allow women to participate in government affairs?

Although the two are not comparable, the principle is the same.
The purpose is to separate public and private affairs.
Besides, if you are not working in the yamen of the Marshal's Mansion, you can come and go here casually, and you must avoid suspicion.
No What if one day a military plane is leaked and someone suspects you?
How can you tell me clearly?
So taking the initiative to avoid suspicion can save you a lot of trouble.
If you are bored and panicked, you can either talk to the third lady or go shopping.
Don’t you like poetry, calligraphy and painting?
Mrs.
San often participates in some poetry gatherings, calligraphy and painting activities, and they are all women's families who like these.
You can also follow her to participate and get to know more people.
Human beings are social animals and need to communicate more with other people to broaden your horizons and life experience"
Princess Xinping was surprised and said: "My husband has no objection to us showing off our reputation outside."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Why should I object?
As long as you abide by women's ethics and do not do anything that violates the principles of being a woman."
Princess Xinping smiled and said: "Well, I will go and see it with my sister when I have the opportunity."
Zhao Ziliang remembered something and said to Princess Xinping: "By the way, many refugees have gathered inside and outside the city recently.
These are people who have lost their homes due to the war and have no livelihood.
The government plans to raise a batch of food in the city in the next two days.
To provide porridge outside, first let the refugees eat a few full meals, and then distribute some food to them.
Organize officials to disperse these refugees to nearby uninhabited villages to live, and then distribute some acres of land and farm tools to them so that they can Self-reliance Sir, if you have nothing else to do, you can go and help the people by giving porridge to the people.
As a princess, if you go to give porridge to the people, the officials in the government will be more motivated, and the people will know that you are a princess.
If the princess personally gives them porridge, they will know that the court and the government have not abandoned them or ignored them, and they will have more confidence in their survival.
The third lady was also going to go, but there are a lot of trivial matters at home these days, and she I can’t escape either.”
Although she has never done such a thing, Princess Xinping still happily agreed: "Okay."
Early the next morning, Princess Xinping, wearing an old skirt, brought two maids and several guards to the porridge shed built by the government outside the city.
Zhao Ziliang had greeted her in advance, and the officials were very excited about her arrival.
Very welcome.
At first, Princess Xinping saw the dark masses of refugees wearing extremely smelly and tattered clothes.
Many of these refugees had frostbite on their bodies that had not yet healed.
Many of them had pus on their bodies.
They were all skinny and skinny.
She is afraid of people.
She is quite afraid and disgusted, but since people are coming, she can't give up before it even starts.
She can only bite the bullet and stay here.
After the soup kitchen started, an official shouted loudly and asked the refugees to line up one by one, come forward to receive the food in accordance with the order, and introduced Princess Xinping to all the refugees.
The refugees were very excited when they heard that the princess had come to give porridge.
Someone among the refugees shouted: "A thousand years old for the princess!"
"Princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
All the refugees bowed down and shouted one after another.
Princess Xinping felt very strange at this moment.
This feeling was called excitement, and it was not the usual feeling when others paid homage to her.
"Get up, everyone, come forward one by one."
After saying that, Princess Xinping started to give porridge to the first refugee with a wooden ladle.
After seeing this, other officials who were giving porridge also started to give porridge to the refugees.

Two meals a day, after Princess Xinping finished serving porridge, it was already afternoon time.
When she returned to the Marshal's Mansion, she felt a sore back and went to bed.
It happened that Zhao Ziliang returned to the backyard at the end of the shift.
When she heard the maid said that she had returned, she walked to He looked at the room and said with a smile: "Madam, how do you feel today?
Are you tired?"
Princess Xinping got up and said, "I'm so tired, but why do I feel so happy?"
Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "This is the joy brought by labor and helping other people.
If my wife does more meaningful things to help people in need or the common people, you will be happy every day, happy and smiling.
It can keep women young and beautiful and not age so quickly.”
Princess Xinping said happily: "Really?
Then I will do more meaningful things":
