The 22nd year of Emperor Jianwu's accession to the throne, the New Year has passed, but it is still very cold outside. This winter has been long and gloomy. It is already February, and the weather is not showing any signs of warming.
It snowed again last night. Early this morning, the entire capital was white, with red walls and green tiles, and Yuyu Qionglou. In the mansion of the Marquis of Yichun in the east of the city, a woman in a gray-brown leather jacket ran towards Jinning Courtyard. She strode across the threshold, leaned on the porch to evenly breathe, and hurriedly shouted, "Miss, the big thing is bad!"
A maid with a double bun on her head lifted the curtain and came out. She looked around fifteen or sixteen, and it was the best time for a girl, but she stared and raised her eyebrows, and her momentum was not lost: "What a howl in the early morning. , didn't you see the girl still inside?"
"Oh, my sister Forsythia, this old slave has something to tell the girl!" Madam Zheng yelled, and was about to walk into the house in a hurry, "Girl, something is wrong!"
The rules in the eldest girl's room are very strict. The general servants and wives can only move around in the yard. Only the second-class servants can enter the house, and the eldest girl's living bedroom can only be entered by the first-class servants who are serving her. As soon as Xiaoxiao entered the yard, the rules were strict. Now that Forsythia saw that Mrs. Zheng was about to enter the house, she was suddenly very angry, and quickly blocked the door: "Let's be presumptuous, are there any rules! Are you allowed to enter the girl's house? "
Forsythia is the first-class decent person next to the girl. She is usually very majestic in the yard. Even Mrs. Zheng didn't dare to offend this little pepper. But I don't know what happened today, but Mrs. Zheng dared to make a move with Forsythia, pushing the arm of Forsythia and saying, "Oh, Miss Forsythia, this old slave really has something important to do..."
"Forsythia."
When Forsythia heard the voice, she immediately regained her prestige, and even the noisy Mrs. Zheng calmed down and knelt to the door honestly: "Miss, this old slave really has something important to report."
The house is full of flowers and brocade, warm as spring, and a rich atmosphere. A Duobao Pavilion blocked the view from inside and outside. After a while, a maid in a lotus-colored jacket came out and said softly, "Girl is kind, let's go in."
"Hey, yes!"
Mrs. Zheng rushed through the Duobao Pavilion and through the bright curtains. This was the first time she entered the place where the eldest girl got up and down. Madam Zheng was dazzled by the splendid beauty on both sides. She vaguely saw a straight and beautiful silhouette. Madam Zheng didn't dare to look again, and hurriedly knelt down: "Eldest girl."
"Let's talk." The other party is surprisingly good-looking with just a silhouette, and now even the voice is like jade beads colliding, which is extremely pleasant, "What's the matter?"
Madam Zheng suddenly felt a strange feeling. She had just heard the news, and her eyes were about to fall out of shock. The rumors haven't had time to spread, and the eldest girl will not have a clairvoyant ear. The eldest girl hasn't gone out today, so she will never know about the front yard.
However, listening to the eldest girl's tone... Madam Zheng always had a sense of absurdity. How could she feel that the eldest girl seemed to know it
"Girl, Jingyong Hou's mansion, come to retire!"
Cheng Yujin didn't move, looking at the delicate and beautiful in the mirror, with perfect eyebrows and eyes like meticulous paintings, and smiled slowly.
Sure enough, he still came to retire.
This news can be said to be a shock to the ground. The eldest girl just got engaged to Hou Jingyong in December last year. It's only been a year, why did she suddenly break off the marriage? Not to mention that Jingyong Hou's actions are absurd or not, just the matter of breaking off the marriage is scary enough.
For a woman, even if it is caused by the man, the consequences are devastating for the woman. After this incident, the woman's reputation has been greatly damaged. I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a good husband's family in the future.
Mrs. Zheng was frightened by the news all morning and panicked. After she said it, she thought that the eldest girl would be shocked, but she waited for a long time, only to see the eldest girl looking in the mirror, smiling gently and slowly.
Forsythia, Du Ruo and the others did not expect such a thing. The two of them were stunned on the spot. When they recovered, they quickly shouted: "Girl! This, this can..."
Forsythia spoke quickly, and asked Madam Zheng cracklingly: "Did you hear it wrong? If you hand this kind of words in front of a girl, I think you don't want to live!"
Mrs. Zheng was so full of grievances that she had nothing to say, but before she could say anything, another person helped her out: "There's nothing wrong."
"girl?"
Cheng Yujin buckled down the mirror, her eyes were picturesque, and when she wasn't smiling, she was more dazzling and breathtaking. Cheng Yujin looked at the snow outside the window, her eyes were obviously quiet, but it seemed to contain an indescribable sarcasm: "He really came."
Cheng Yujin is the eldest young lady of the Houfu of Yichun, his mother is the daughter of King Ning, the daughter of Qingfu County, and his father is the prince of Yichun Hou. As the eldest daughter of the head of the Hou residence, it is no exaggeration to say that she landed with a golden spoon in her mouth.
Just like her name, Cheng Yujin grew up as a daughter from other families. She was enlightened at the age of seven, proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and needlework. She was filial and obedient. She was simply a model girl. The girls in other provinces were told by their mothers every day, and they were physically disgusted when they heard Cheng Yujin's name.
If things go smoothly for too long, they will be perceived as fake. There are people waiting behind the scenes, waiting to see what kind of family Cheng Yujin decides, and see if she can keep showing off.
I didn't think so, but I can.
Cheng Yujin followed her mother to live in the hot spring villa last December. King Ning's fief is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Lord of Qingfu County has been married to the capital for so many years, but he is still not used to the winter in the capital. The royal female family members are rich and powerful, and the owner of Qingfu County has a Zhuangzi in his own name, which has a special hot spring eye. When the Lord of Qingfu County went out, it was difficult for the concubines to follow, but the little girls could follow.
Cheng Yujin, as the eldest daughter of the lord of Qingfu County, was of course the first one who accompanied him. Unexpectedly, after moving to Xishan, Gyeonggi experienced heavy snow for three consecutive days and March, and the mountain road was closed, and the female relatives would not be able to go down the mountain for a while.
The Lord of Qingfu County had already sent his servants down the mountain to report the news, and he just waited in the Zhuangzi for the Yichun Houfu to clear the road and came to pick them up. The Lord of Qingfu County was still enjoying the hot spring leisurely, but Cheng Yujin found out that the second sister was missing.
The second younger sister, Cheng Yumo, is the only daughter of the second room. She is regarded as a sore eye by the second master and the Ruan family. It is no small matter for her to get lost on the Zhuangzi of the big room. Cheng Yujin didn't dare to speak out about her daughter's festival, so she secretly sent her mother-in-law to guard the intersection, and asked Forsythia to find out where Cheng Yumo went at night.
Unexpectedly, after a night, Cheng Yumo still didn't come back, Cheng Yujin now knew that the matter was serious. She didn't dare to care about it, so she went to report this matter to the Qingfu County Master early the next morning. The county master of Qingfu was also taken aback. She had absolutely no feelings for the second room, but the second room's direct daughter was lost on her land, and Qingfu couldn't explain it after all. Cheng Yujin had already inspected Zhuangzi yesterday, so Qingfu County Master had to send someone to look for it on the mountain.
Cheng Yujin asked Cheng Yumo's maid, and found out that their girl saw Xue Shixing's big hair in the evening, so she went out to enjoy the snow, but she got lost for some reason. When Cheng Yujin heard that she was angry, she immediately brought her mother-in-law and went to find Cheng Yumo in person according to the way the maid said.
The back mountain was so big, and it was snowing, so they couldn't identify the direction. They had to walk very hard, and it was impossible to search the whole mountain at this speed. They had to search separately, Cheng Yujin walked with Du Ruo for a while, and found a cave at the tip of his eyes.
There are caves, and there are shelters at the entrance, so it can be seen that someone must have been here! Cheng Yujin hurried over, but instead of finding Cheng Yumo, she found a comatose man.
In fact, according to Cheng Yujin's temperament, she doesn't want to pay attention to the unidentified foreign man at all. What does it matter to her if he lives or dies? But thanks to Cheng Yujin's sharp eyes, she saw a private mark on the man.
Huo Chang Yuan in the Northwest Protectorate's Mansion.
Huo Chang Yuan? Huo Changyuan, the most famous general in the dynasty and the youngest marquis of the Qi Dynasty, Jingyong Marquis
Very good, Cheng Yujin decided to save him.
Cheng Yujin asked Du Ruo to flatten Huo Changyuan's body, the man's body was heavy, and Du Ruo was too busy by himself, so Cheng Yujin also crouched down to help. While she was supporting Huo Chang Yuan's arm, he woke up in a daze. Huo Chang Yuan felt that someone was beside him, he used all his strength to open his eyes, and in the half-darkness, he saw a beautiful and delicate woman leaning on his side, bright and beautiful, beyond measure.
"It's you?"
Cheng Yujin didn't understand that she was the only one in front of her, why she asked "it's you". If it's not her, can it still be a ghost
Of course, Cheng Yujin, as the benchmark for the ladies in the capital, naturally wouldn't say this. She nodded slightly and smiled softly at Huo Chang Yuan: "Don't be afraid, Lord Marquis, I am the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Yichun, and my mother's Zhuangzi is not far away. Just wait, I will call someone to carry you."
Huo Chang Yuan seemed to be relieved, and finally took a deep look at her, then closed his eyes and passed out.
When she finally waited for the person who came to pick her up, the servant carried the stretcher and said, "Miss Bing, the second girl has been found. The county master calls you back."
Cheng Yumo found it? This is the best, she doesn't want to pretend to be her sister outside in the cold air.
Huo Chang Yuan was in a coma for three days on the Zhuangzi of Qingfu County Master, during which time he woke up and fell asleep, but he didn't have much time to wake up. And as unmarried women, they couldn't drill into the men's room. Fortunately, the mountain road was soon cleared, and the people of Jingyong Hou's mansion took Huo Changyuan away.
Thanks to the help of Jingyong Houfu, the mountain road was able to open to traffic so quickly. Sure enough, Xungui, who started his life on the basis of military exploits, is different from their kind of arrogance. If you let the Marquis of Yichun come, heh, you can wait with peace of mind.
Cheng Yujin saved someone after going out, and Mrs. Cheng praised her again after returning to the house. Mrs. Cheng, the master of Qingfu County, including Cheng Yujin, are tacitly aware that such a great kindness should be expressed by the Jingyong Houfu
Sure enough, not long after the old lady Jingyong Hou, Huo Changyuan's mother Huo Xue came to the door in person, thanking Cheng Yujin for helping her. The thank you gift brought by the Huo family was even richer than Cheng Yujin imagined. Of course, what satisfied her the most was the engagement brought by the Huo Xue family together.
Huo Chang Yuan was grateful for Cheng Yujin's life-saving grace, and wanted to marry him as his wife.
Mrs. Cheng couldn't stop smiling at that time. The Qingfu County Lord and Cheng Yujin have always been in love with each other, but the daughter who has been raised in the name for many years can have a good home, and the Qingfu County Lord is also happy to see it happen. Yichun Hou's mansion is in full bloom, but Hou's mansion always has face.
Ask Cheng Yujin? Cheng Yujin, of course she is happy. In fact, this was her real purpose of saving Huo Chang Yuan.
At the end of the 21st year of Jianwu’s reign, the Marquis of Yichun was immersed in great joy. An empty marquis’ mansion was paired with the most promising and youngest upstart prince in the court. There is no white Yang Cheng Yujin.
Cheng Yujin completed the most important investment in her life. Not surprisingly, her prosperity and wealth in the second half of her life are also guaranteed. Cheng Yujin was satisfied, and from now on, she stayed home and prepared her dowry at home with peace of mind.
At that time, there was too much noise around Cheng Yujin, and she didn't notice that Cheng Yumo was unhappy after returning from the villa, and an illness dragged on for a long time. She also didn't notice that the Huo family's engagement attitude was too eager. Even if you repay your kindness, it is not necessarily the only way to marry her.
Unfortunately, she didn't notice.
Logically, everything has been settled, but since February, Cheng Yujin began to panic for no reason and could not even sleep peacefully. Last night, she had a long dream.
Cheng Yujin was awakened suddenly at the fifth day of the day, and she was soaked in cold sweat and could no longer fall asleep. She had been lying on the bed for a long time, it was just a dream, it was ridiculous to take the dream seriously. But Cheng Yujin felt inexplicably that this was no joke. This is real.
She saw herself in the dream, but not quite herself. Like a puppet, she was pulled by the thread and experienced the life of "Cheng Yujin" from the beginning.
In the dream, she was the same as now, born in the Marquis of Yichun mansion where Bai Yu worked for Tang Jin. Ruan Shi, the second wife of the Houfu of Yichun, gave birth to a pair of twin sisters. At this time, the eldest wife, Princess Qingfu, had been in the house for nearly five years, and she had not given birth. Instead, the new daughter-in-law, Shi Ruan, hugged them within a year. Although they are just a pair of girls, they are the first child of the Cheng family's grandchildren after all, which is auspicious, so Mrs. Cheng is the master, and she holds the elder sister of the twins to the eldest daughter-in-law, Princess Qingfu, as her daughter, in order to make the big house feel happy.
Later, the two children were named Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo respectively.
Cheng Yujin knew from a very young age that she and her second cousin were siblings, but she also knew that Nguyen was her second aunt, and her only mother was the Princess Qingfu.
It can only be the Lord of Qingfu County.
Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo looked alike when they were young. As they grew up, their facial features developed, and the gap between the two sisters was revealed. Cheng Yujin has a better body, more beautiful facial features, and a quieter personality. Instead, it was Cheng Yumo, because the twins were already weaker than ordinary children, and Cheng Yumo was born after the mother's womb, so she was even more weak and slender, even her eyebrows and eyes were slender.
Not to mention Mrs. Cheng, Princess Qingfu, etc., her own family is just a slave. After serving in the Cheng family for a long time, you can see the difference between the eldest girl and the second girl at a glance. But for outsiders, who would look closely at the facial features, the sisters in the same house looked alike, and the two of them were the same age, and the little girls dressed similarly, so they were often confused.
Cheng Yujin grew up to fourteen years old in the daily explanation of "I am the big girl Yujin".
This winter, she rescued a man in heavy snow. The next year, she married the man.
This man's name is Huo Chang Yuan.
On the day of the big wedding, Cheng Yujin married Huo Changyuan with a great deal of red makeup. The sisters in the boudoir all envied her for marrying a good husband. Huo Changyuan was already a Hou Ye at a young age, and Cheng Yujin became a Hou's wife as soon as he came through the door, at least 20 years less than other women. Moreover, Huo Changyuan just made his military exploits in the northwest last year. He is in the limelight and has an unlimited future. He is also handsome, strong and tall. Such a good husband-in-law was actually trapped by Cheng Yujin, which was really irritating.
At that time, Cheng Yujin didn't know that she had become a villain in other people's stories without her knowledge.
After their marriage, Cheng Yujin and Huo Changyuan's lives were roughly as she expected, except that the mother-in-law was a little more difficult to deal with, the husband was a little too out of control, and the Huo family's rules were too much. In those years, outsiders watched Cheng Yujin's beautiful flowers with brocade, and only she knew how difficult it was to close the door. But it's nothing. Every woman has to go through this level. She doesn't have to serve her great mother-in-law. She has the right to housekeeping herself, which is better than most women.
The second year after marriage, she finally became pregnant. When Huo Changyuan was seven years old, his father was killed in battle, and the Huo Xue clan was widowed. Over the years, Huo Xue's family has been struggling to pull Huo Chang Yuan up. The mother and son depend on each other for life. Huo Xue's family has an extraordinary possessiveness towards his son. Since Cheng Yujin entered the door, Huo Xue's family has been hot and cold with Cheng Yujin, breaking up the time they spend together as husband and wife. Cheng Yujin had no choice but to follow her mother-in-law's wishes and stop making out with her husband.
The funny thing is that Huo Xue's family did not let their husband and wife get close, but forced Cheng Yujin to have a grandson. Cheng Yujin was full of bitterness but couldn't say it, so in the second year after marriage, when the child came, you can imagine how happy Cheng Yujin was.
She immediately threw away the stewardship, and happily raised the baby. Because her boudoir was boring, she also picked up her sister from her parents' house. Cheng Yujin was not close to Huo Chang Yuan before, and now that she is pregnant, she will not let him touch her body. During that time, Huo Chang Yuan was at home in a truce, and Cheng Yumo came to talk to her every day. Cheng Yujin felt her belly, which was getting round, and felt that her children, husband, and sister were all by her side.
However, the face of the maid next to her became more and more strange, and Du Ruo hesitated several times. Seeing Cheng Yujin's happy expression, she was finally reluctant to say it. But Cheng Yujin wasn't a fool after all. She noticed something was wrong, and she asked the maid carefully, only to realize that when she was sleeping and raising her baby, Huo Changyuan often talked and laughed with Cheng Yumo, and behaved intimately.
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Cheng Yujin, who was splitting, stood there dumbfounded. She mocked herself and made such a ridiculous mistake in vain for you to call yourself a perfect girl. Cheng Yujin just thought it was because of his lack of energy that he couldn't watch it often, so Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo had more chances to get along and committed such a scandal. One is her husband and the other is her sister. Cheng Yumo didn't want to make trouble for both parties.
So she took advantage of Huo Chang Yuan to go to the military camp to train soldiers, called Cheng Yumo in, and talked a lot. She thought that she had saved enough face for both parties, but any girl who is sensible and shameful will definitely understand when she hears this. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yumo understood, but she understood, but she ran away crying, thinking that she was humiliated by Cheng Yujin.
Cheng Yujin was angry and ignored her. On the same day, Cheng Yumo set up a car and went home. The Huo Xue clan sent someone to ask, but Cheng Yujin just smiled and played sloppily, giving Cheng Yumo and Huo Changyuan the last bit of face.
She thought that a wife and sister who did this was really benevolent and righteous, and she waited for Huo Chang Yuan to come back and give her an explanation. Unexpectedly, Huo Chang Yuan came back from the military camp, and when he heard that Cheng Yumo had left, he immediately turned to chase, leaving Cheng Yujin alone in the room, facing the crowd of servants, for a long time he didn't know how to react.
When Huo Chang Yuan came back, he gave her a cold look, calling her a "poisonous woman". Cheng Yujin didn't understand until she died, she managed the housework for Huo Changyuan and endured her difficult mother-in-law, while Huo Changyuan taught and received privately from her and her sister behind her back. Where is she poisoned? Where is she wrong
Cheng Yujin started early in the depression, and the premature birth added to the dystocia. After giving birth, Huo Xue was busy seeing her grandson, ignoring Cheng Yujin, who was lying on the delivery bed. Cheng Yujin bled heavily that day and died soon after.
She died in the dream, and Cheng Yujin finally broke free from the nightmare-like state. But her soul couldn't get away, still floating in Jingyong Hou's mansion, watching the story continue to develop.
It turns out, from another angle, the story is like this.
