Back at the mansion, Eldest Princess Rong Xin sent someone to call Lu Yuan over, and said, "I'm at Prince Zhan's mansion today, what do you think of the little prince?"
Lu Yuan said: "Xiaoshizi's parents are all dragons and phoenixes, so he is naturally cute as Yuxue."
Eldest Princess Rong Xin said, "You're not bad either. If you marry a good wife and have a child, you won't be any worse than Xiao Shizi."
Hearing that there was something in her words, Lu Yuan frowned and said, "What does mother want to tell her son?"
Princess Rong Xin said, "I thought you knew."
Lu Yuan said, "If what mother wants to say is to ask me to marry Ning'er, then there is no need to say any more. My son has already said that he doesn't want to marry her. If mother insists on my son marrying her, it's okay for my son to marry her, but You have to be mentally prepared, I will never be a good husband, if you are not afraid that I will betray her, if you are not afraid that she will suffer for the rest of her life, just marry her to me."
Upon hearing this, Princess Rong Xin changed her face immediately, and said angrily, "What's your attitude? What's wrong with Ning'er? Why don't you like him? Although she is not as beautiful as An An , but apart from her appearance being inferior to An An, what else is she inferior to her? You also grew up with Ning'er, and you are all too familiar with her behavior as a person. Where can you find a daughter-in-law who knows everything? Why do you have to look at it? What about her?"
Lu Yuan said, "Mother, our mother and son have talked about this topic dozens of times, and my son will say it again. It's not that my son doesn't like Ning'er, but he only regards Ning'er as his younger sister. Now you let your son treat her as a daughter-in-law." , my son won't do it, and I'm panicking, just like marrying my own sister, how can you make my son feel so bad."
"She's not your own sister. Why are you so embarrassing? Just treat her as an ordinary woman and it's over?"
"However, she is not an ordinary woman. She is my younger sister who grew up with me. I don't want to marry her. Besides, I don't want to accept other women yet."
"Fart, I can't count on my ten fingers all the Yingyingyanyans in your mansion, and you accepted them one by one, but now I just ask you to accept Ning'er, what can't you accept, it's obviously prevarication I."
Lu Yuan rubbed the center of his brows, and sat down beside Princess Rong Xin.
"Mother, since you know that those are Yingying and Yanyan, you should know that your son never cared about them, and whether they are happy or not has nothing to do with him, but Ning'er is different. The younger sister I watched and grew up with since I was a child, if I can't give her happiness after marrying her, how will I meet my aunt under Jiuquan in the future? How can I be worthy of the friendship we grew up with since we were young?"
"Since this is the case, shouldn't it be enough if you treat her well?" His Royal Highness the eldest princess said angrily.
"But my son can't do it..."
"You haven't tried, how do you know you can't do it? Maybe the two of you can hold the case together, and your love will increase? Ning'er is a good girl. If you miss her, you may never find such a good wife in your life. "Princess Rong Xin persuaded earnestly.
Lu Yuan rolled his eyelids, looked at Fang Liang and said, "I don't deny that Ning'er is a good girl, but there are many good girls in the world, and she is not the only one. The reason why mothers must have sons I married her because I got along so well with my mother, and there was only one good girl whom my mother loved so much. After all, my mother still thought a lot about herself, and didn't consider her son's mood and Ning'er's future at all... "
"You... presumptuous..."
Eldest Princess Rong Xin was exposed by her son, and she became angry from embarrassment. She said with a livid face, "You unfilial thing, I always think about you and think about you, and you are so suspicious of me. It's really chilling. So, I don't bother to talk to you anymore, so I will let you know that I will hold a wedding for you on New Year's Day. You marry Ning'er as a flat wife, whether you like it or not, it's settled like this. "
Lu Yuan pursed his lips and said, "Mother insists on this, and my son has nothing to say. Anyway, there will be many people in my son's backyard in the future, and Ning'er is not the only one."
After finishing speaking, he bowed to the eldest princess, turned and left.
When Princess Rong Xin saw Lu Yuan's appearance, she was so angry that she slapped the table, "Sinister, I don't know good and bad things, I'm so mad..."
The nurse serving beside her hurriedly stepped forward to rub her breasts to comfort her, and comforted her, saying, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, don't be angry. Don't look at the young master's stubbornness now. Miss Ning is so good, he will turn around sooner or later."
"Oh, I hope so!"
The Eldest Princess sighed, with a sleepy expression, "I always believed that they would be able to love each other in the future, but now that this evil person said that, I have no idea, I am really worried that this evil obstacle will never turn back , if that's the case, wouldn't I have cheated Ning'er?"
Speaking of this, her expression was a bit sad.
The mother smiled and said, "Since the eldest princess is worried about this, why don't you invite Miss Ning to discuss it, if she is willing to take this risk, then the wedding will proceed as scheduled, if she is not willing, then don't send them together If you do it, you will avoid becoming a resentful spouse, and the eldest princess will feel bad when she sees it in the future, won't she?"
After hearing this, the eldest princess nodded and said, "That's the only way!"
So, Ning'er was invited.
After listening to the eldest princess, Ning'er said firmly, "Auntie, I want to marry Brother Yuan, even if I am let down one day, I won't regret it..."
After hearing what she said, Eldest Princess Rong Xin was really relieved. Dang even handed over the central government of the mansion to her, so that she can start learning how to manage the house now.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan's face turned dark again, and his already annoyed mood became even worse...
**
It is now in the middle and late December, and it will be New Year's Day soon. Because during the national mourning period, marriages cannot be done in a big way, so there are no red and green clothes in the mansion. The yard I live in, and some good things have been added to the new house, that's all.
Ning'er is very content, not to mention giving her a wedding, and let her marry her cousin as a concubine, even if she doesn't give her a wedding, and let her only marry her cousin as a concubine, she is willing.
She loves her cousin, since she was taken to her uncle's house when she was nine years old, and when she saw her cousin for the first time in the flower hall, she knew that this young man was the one she wanted to follow for the rest of her life.
She loves her cousin, loves his natural and unrestrained demeanor, beautiful figure and manly temperament that he shows everywhere. She thinks that a man should be like her cousin, who is both civil and military, personable, elegant, and well-spoken...
Moreover, he is also very kind. He is very kind to the women, servants, servant girls, and guards in the mansion. He never puts on the master's airs, and is very considerate to her sister. Prepare gifts for her, never perfunctory.
He fully meets her requirements and standards for a future husband, he is the man of her dreams, and she has dreamed of being a husband and wife with him countless times in her heart.
She takes care of her husband and children at home, and accompanies her aunt. He goes out on business, and when he comes back at night, the family sits and eats and chats together. The children are running around on the ground. She whispered a few sweet words in her ear, but she lowered her head shyly. Although she was extremely beautiful in her heart, she had a look of feigned anger on her face, "I hate it."
Then he smiled, pretended to be nonchalant, and continued to eat.
At night, the two of them would sleep together, and she would peek at his handsome sleeping face and well-proportioned body all night long, and she couldn't get enough of him in a lifetime...
Finally, my aunt saw through her mind, and let her marry him as she wished, and she finally became his wife.
However, after marrying him, she found that their marriage was completely different from what she had imagined. He always regarded himself as his younger sister, and never thought that she could be his wife.
Therefore, he never accepted the relationship between them, and treated her completely without the love and cherish of the past.
She is in great pain and has always wanted to try to change this situation, but she has tried time and time again, year after year, and ended in failure.
It was only later that she discovered that he already had someone else in his heart, and he couldn't accommodate other women at all.
And this woman is the noble concubine of the current dynasty, the number one beauty in the Chu country, a woman who has a beautiful family background and talent, and she has worked hard all her life to be hard to match.
During that time, under the comparison of the imperial concubine, she was so inferior that she didn't even have the courage to approach him. She missed him all the time, and avoided him everywhere. She was afraid that her appearance would not be as beautiful as the imperial concubine, so she would It made him feel disgusted, afraid that her walking posture was not elegant enough, it would make him upset, afraid that what she said would appear inappropriate in front of him, and make him laugh, but her mind and eyes never left him. …
She watched helplessly as he turned into a ruthless sharp blade for love, helping the imperial concubine eliminate dissidents, mercilessly massacring the imperial concubine's enemies time and time again, leaving no room for himself and his family.
She was very afraid that what he did would bring him death, but she couldn't change him. She could only silently pray for him in front of the Buddha every day, begging the Buddha to transfer all the retribution of God to her. Take it for him, don't punish him...
It may be that the Buddha heard her voice, and his retribution really turned to her.
The imperial concubine overthrew the queen, but was framed for having an affair with him. To prove her innocence, the imperial concubine turned the butcher knife in her hand unceremoniously towards him.
As a result, the majestic imperial bodyguard who was majestic yesterday was castrated in a blink of an eye and became a ridiculous eunuch; the once-prominent Lu family was scattered in an instant, and their family was destroyed. As his wife, she put on yoke and chains with him, and was exiled to the bitter cold place in Jizhou.
The capital is more than a thousand miles away from Jizhou, and they walked the long journey step by step with their feet.
The betrayal and scheming of the one he loves, the great changes in his family and his own incompleteness completely crushed that once glorious man. He quickly haggarded down, his eyes were empty, his face was ashen, and he wanted to die.
Along the way, it was she who kept encouraging him and helping him with her meager strength, like a poor bird, watering him and nourishing him with drops of water in her beak.
It made him gradually regain his vitality, and he had the desire to live again.
That's right, the great revenge of family ruin and death has not yet been avenged, what right does he have to ask for death, he can't afford to die!
So, he recovered, and there was life in his eyes again. And she finally became haggard and haggard in the middle of the toil all the way, and fell ill.
As a prisoner in distribution, there will be no good doctors to treat her illness. After only a few days of illness, she is already on the verge of death.
Only then did he know what he was about to lose, and he deeply realized how deep and precious her love for him was!
However, it was too late.
she died!
Before she died, she finally heard her cousin's affectionate confession to her. He said that if there is an afterlife, he will love her in his place, and he will treat her well for the rest of his life and never let her down.
What a sweet vow!
Even if she was swept up by a broken blanket and buried under a barren mountain, she still felt happy.
Because she finally waited for his love, and in the next life, she will have his love completely.
But-
Now, she finally had an afterlife, but he didn't keep his promise. She worked hard and approached him again and again, but in exchange for his rejection and indifference again and again, she couldn't hold on anymore.
However, even if she couldn't persist, she still had to persist. She loved him so much that her life would be meaningless without him, and she couldn't live without him. She even looked down on herself, even knowing that he had many confidante friends outside, she still couldn't bear to leave...
Maybe, after getting married, she will slowly melt him and impress him. Maybe one day, he will be able to recall the memories of his previous life and fulfill his promise.
As she fantasized, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she concentrated on arranging the new house.
…
New Year's Day is approaching, and there is a happy event in Fenghuang Village, that is, Princess Zhan pointed out a marriage to the second boy of the village chief Shen Debao's family.
The other party is a girl who can read and write. She was born in a rich family, she was born beautiful, gentle and decent, but unfortunately she has no father and mother, and she is a girl with an incomplete life.
Aunt Shen felt very dissatisfied when she heard about this marriage. She felt that Lan Ya was now a princess, and she could definitely help Jin Cun point out a better marriage. Mother, have you never heard of such a sentence? A child who has no father and mother since childhood, and has no fate in old age. A child who has no father and no mother will definitely be unlucky in the future. How can she point out such a person to Jin Cunzhi
However, she didn't like it, and she couldn't help her son to be happy. The princess's order of marriage came to Fenghuang Village. The next day, Shen Jincun went home, brought back a cart full of things, and was excited to marry his wife. Son.
Aunt Shen saw that her son was so happy, so she had no choice but to agree. Although Uncle Shen was quite afraid of the fact that his daughter-in-law had no father or mother, but like the old woman, seeing his son so happy, he had nothing to say.
Shen Ruomei's own life is unfortunate, so she can't see other people's happiness. When she saw her younger brother happily getting married, it was the same marriage that Lan Ya fingered. A woman who has no family and no job, what good thing can it be? Maybe she ran out of the wind and dust field. Shen Lanya just can't see our family well, and she is afraid that our family will pass her house, so she deliberately throws some dirty and smelly things to us. It's home."
Shen Jincun said unceremoniously, "At the beginning, everyone said that my second aunt had no family and no job, and she ran out of the wind and dust field. In the end, she is the descendant of the great Confucianism in the capital. The shoes don't even match. Therefore, it's best to say less if you don't have any evidence, so as to avoid slaps in the face in the future."
"Furthermore, Lan'er is already Princess Zhan. Only when our family can produce a queen can we cross her, otherwise no matter how good it is, it is impossible to cross her. Sister, do you think our family can produce a queen?"
When he said this, he stared at the scar on Shen Ruomei's face unceremoniously, and his eyes swept across her lame leg inadvertently, and immediately defeated Shen Ruomei's attack.
Today's her, not to mention being a queen, even if she married a mud-legged person, it would be impossible for her to be wanted.
Her face was burned, and the red and black scars had proliferated. At first glance, she looked like a ghost, and it was scary to look at.
The arms and legs are crippled. Although the legs can still walk, one leg is long and the other is short. When walking, it waddles like a duck, not to mention how ugly it is. Now as soon as she goes out, the little children in the village follow her and make fun of her, imitating how she walks, and she is so angry that she dare not go out.
In addition, her arms were also deformed, and she couldn't straighten them as if she was carrying a basket. Moreover, she had no strength. It was difficult to hold a job, and it was impossible to work.
What's more, she still has a serious heart disease now, and it's better in winter, but she can't hide it in summer, and she can smell the stench on her body from a long distance, which is extremely disgusting.
She is completely useless, like a mangy dog, everyone hates her wherever she goes, and is ridiculed by everyone pointing and teasing, she can only hide at home, and every day hateful curse Shen Ruolan and her man to die...
Because in her mind, it was Shen Ruolan and her man who made her like this!
She hates it so much...

Peach Blossom Village
The Chinese New Year will be over in a month, and Cui is busy buying things for the New Year. This year is no different from previous years. Not to mention the harvest of the family's crops is better, and her most precious youngest son was born a child. This is a big deal for Cui. The great happy event means that his precious son is one step closer to the number one scholar, and she is one step closer to the imperial wife.
Therefore, this year, when buying new year's goods, it was particularly bloody. Not only did I buy ten catties of pork, a bag of flour and a bag of rice, but also bought a whole set of cotton clothes for the adults and children in the family.
Because Sanyong said that the family's clothes were too shabby, and he would lose face when he went out. In order to save face for his beloved young son, Cui gritted his teeth and bought several bolts of cotton cloth at a reduced price for each of the adults and children in the family. Made a cotton dress.
The old man is not at home, but clothes have been made for him, just waiting for him to come back and wear them.
This old man has been away from home for more than half a year, and he has never written a letter back. She misses that old man a little bit. Fortunately, it will be Chinese New Year soon, and he will be back soon, so she will be able to see him soon, otherwise She really had to be a little sick.
In order to make the old man happy when he came back, Cui not only bought a lot of delicious food, but also tidied up the house for the first time, tidy and clean, just waiting for the old man to go home.
However, after waiting and waiting, it was not the old man who was waiting to come back, but a letter from the old man and a hundred taels of silver.
The family letter was sent by a friend in the county, written by the old man himself. It said that he was doing business in Xichuan, he was busy with business, and he would not come back this year. He earned a hundred taels of silver and brought them back, telling them to live a good life at home, don’t be reluctant Spend money, don't worry about him.
When Cui saw the old man's family letter and heard her youngest son read the contents of the family letter, she was immediately disappointed. For some reason, this time she didn't think about the money but the old man for the first time, but the old man didn't come back, which made her feel empty in her heart, as if a piece of silver had been gouged out, and she didn't even look at the few ingots of silver. I feel affectionate.
When Zhang Jinfeng saw that his father hadn't come back, he couldn't help judging others by himself, and said, "Mother, you said my father is out alone, can there be a wild woman?"
When Cui heard this, she immediately jumped up as if being pricked by a needle, "No, absolutely not, your father is not that kind of person, don't be silly, just be careful when your father comes back and beats you."
Zhang Jinfeng curled his lips, "That's not necessarily true. My father knows how to do business and is out alone. There must be a wild woman trying to trick him. They say that a good man can't stand a female tease. My father is alone for a long time. It is inevitable that he will be lonely. What kind of wild woman did you hook up with, otherwise, why wouldn't he come back after the New Year's Eve?"
After being told by Zhang Jinfeng, Cui's heart also panicked.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the old man not to come back during the Chinese New Year. Firstly, he attaches great importance to family ties, and the family must be reunited during the Chinese New Year; secondly, he also pays great attention to ancestor sacrifices. It was very suspicious to come back.
Zhang Dayong's daughter-in-law saw that her mother-in-law's face was cloudy and sunny for a while, so she intentionally added trouble to her, saying, "The uncle who delivered the letter left in a hurry, we haven't had time to inquire about my father's situation in Xichuan, and we don't know him. How have you been this year, are you in good health? Is there anyone to cook for you?"
