After Zhang Zuolin was killed by the bombing, the first person in the Marshal's Mansion to stand up and preside over the overall situation was Lady Taishou, the fifth aunt. She decided decisively not to mourn, and asked the whole house not to cry, not to wear filial piety, everything is just like the old marshal before he died. Subsequently, she came forward to negotiate with the Japanese, and successfully fooled the Japanese into believing that the old marshal was not dead, but only slightly injured, thus dispelling the idea of the Kwantung Army taking advantage of the chaos to occupy the northeast, and winning valuable time for Zhang Xueliang to return to Fengtian to stabilize the situation.
It can be seen from this that Madame Shou is a wise and courageous woman, and it is no wonder that among Zhang Zuolin's six aunts, she is the most favored. Lady Shou's original name was Shou Yi, her father was the Heilongjiang general Shou Shan, a Hanzheng Baiqi man, and her ancestors were yuan Chonghuan (ironical enough) who was a famous anti-Jin general. Although Lady Shou was born in the partial house of Shoushan, she was also a serious general, and she was born the best among Zhang Zuolin's wives and concubines, and it is not too much to say that Zhang Zuolin married her as a concubine at that time.
When Lady Shou first married Zhang Zuolin, she had both the arrogance behind the gate and the princess disease of the official lady, and she was slightly unhappy, and it was common to play with her temper and make a character. At that time, there was no sixth aunt Tai Ma Clan, Lady Shou was the youngest and most favored, zhang Zuolin was obedient to her, so Zhang Fu also held her up and down, and did not dare to provoke. But there was one exception, who not only was not accustomed to her, but even spilled tea on her during an argument with her.
Shoushan
The name of this daring lady was Tao Liqing, and she was Zhang Zuolin's personal document. Zhang Zuolin has always looked at people who pay attention to reading, and lao Tao has followed Zhang Zuolin in the grassland for these years to be born and die, and the two can be regarded as lifelong friendships. After the annihilation of Tao Ke Tao Hu, Zhang Zuolin decided to send his family back to Taonan Province for resettlement. Escorting family members is a matter of being a soldier, but resettling family members is a delicate job, and it is necessary to take care of them, and the rough people who fight and kill cannot do it, and only a cultural person like Lao Tao, who knows how to read and dali, can do it.
After the family arrived in Taonan Province, Lao Tao essentially became the great housekeeper of Zhang Province, and he was responsible for the whole family's food, clothing, shelter, food, and drink. Taonan is located in northern Liaoning, remote and desolate, and the living conditions are not the same as Fengtian nature. Lady Shou has been dressed in fine clothes since she was a child, and she can't stand the rude life of the moment, so she committed a princess disease. She transferred all this to Lao Tao's body, believing that he did not do his best in his work and let himself be wronged.
Finally, one day, for a small thing, Madame Shou exploded her dissatisfaction with Lao Tao's accumulation for many days. She sent someone to find Lao Tao and reprimanded him in public. Old Tao is a man of integrity, and he has the integrity and stubbornness of a reader, and now he is being taught by the little ladies pointing to his nose, where he can bear it, he was anxious at that time. Without saying a word, he picked up the tea on the table, poured it on Madame Shou, and then turned away.
Lady Shou has suffered this grievance since she was a child, and when Zhang Zuolin returns to Taonan Province, she will cry to her husband and let Zhang Zuolin ask you for an explanation. After Zhang Zuolin heard that his concubine had been poured with tea by Lao Tao, he only spoke kindly and comforted each other, and did not go to Lao Tao theory afterwards. When Lao Tao learned of this, he regretted it and felt that his actions at that time were indeed inappropriate. Lady Shou was also the beloved woman of the old Zhang, and she spilled the daughter-in-law of the other person, which made Zhang Zuolin very faceless.
The more Zhang Zuolin did not mention this matter, the more Old Tao was too unwilling to go. One day, he took the initiative to find Zhang Zuolin, saying that his temper was not good and he did not want to stay in Zhang Mansion any longer. When Zhang Zuolin heard that Lao Tao was leaving, he immediately said: What do you think of my old Zhang? The old five young people don't understand things, you don't see her in general. The two of us are brothers who have lived a long life, and we will have to do great things together in the future.
But Lao Tao was still embarrassed in his heart and insisted on leaving. Zhang Zuolin knew that he was stubborn, accepted death, and did not force it. Zhang Zuolin wrote a letter to Zhang Jinghui and arranged for Lao Tao to take up a post in Zhang Jinghui's camp.
