In the third year of the Apocalypse, the two-year war finally came to an end. With the envoys of both sides placing their seals on the peace book, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty were bounded by the Huai River, and regardless of whether they were monarchs or ministers, they would always treat each other as brothers.
When the news came, the people of both countries cheered and celebrated. Only those who have experienced war know how precious peace is.
During the Great Zhou Dynasty, Su'an, the capital city, located on Yongning Street, was the residence given to Duke Fuyuan by the royal family. At this time, colorful flags were displayed in front of the door, brocade ribbons were flying, and gongs and drums were loud.
Duke Shen Puwen of Fuyuan is a legend in the Zhou Dynasty.
He came from a noble family, but he did not rely on Yin Rong. Instead, he entered the court as the number one scholar and served as a senator in three dynasties. When the Jin Dynasty went south, Emperor Longqing of the Great Zhou Dynasty personally conquered, and he was ambushed. It was he who was betrayed by the rebel general Longqing Emperor. When he came out, four arrows in his body protected Emperor Longqing unharmed. After Emperor Longqing passed away, during the melee between the princes, it was he who supported the sixth prince Zhe to ascend the throne, and he became the current Emperor Zhe.
There are two things that made Emperor Zhe the happiest this year. The first was that Dajin finally negotiated a truce, and it was not a truce in exchange for surrender. The second was that Duke Fuyuan finally selected the heir of Xijue.
Nothing goes as planned in life, and this sentence also applies to the highly respected Duke Fuyuan.
Such a legendary figure has no direct heirs. The Duke of Fuyuan was a virtuous wife who took ten concubines for him personally, but they ended up with nowhere. The Duke of Fuyuan was open-minded by nature and refused to take concubines from then on. After years of selection, in his On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, he finally chose a member of the clan to adopt his name.
Emperor Zhe was also very satisfied with this adopted son who was about to ascend the throne. In this confrontation with Dajin, he made great achievements.
This was an outstanding young man. He was a lowly member of the Shen family and had a disability. When they saw that he finally stood beside Duke Fuyuan, everyone was surprised and shocked.
It is undisputed that this young man's experience will become a legend in Dazhou.
July 18th is auspicious and suitable for marriage.
The emcees in festive brocade robes outside Fuyuan Palace looked at the gift boxes that were being brought in, and chanted with all their strength. They basically reported all the officials in the court, until finally the emperor's congratulatory gift brought the atmosphere to a climax. climax.
"This is... God's grace is so great..." The boys in front of the door straightened their backs and couldn't hide their blushing faces.
The capital's garrison has put the entire street under martial law, but it still cannot stop the people's interest in watching the excitement. The sound of firecrackers, the roar of gongs and drums, and the huge parade of welcoming the bride are coming back.
"Look...that's Young Master Shen..."
The legend appeared, accompanied by bursts of noise, and the surging people overwhelmed the garrison.
Immediately the young master was dressed in red, and his look was dazzling in the sunlight, making it difficult for people to look directly at him.
Behind him is a wedding sedan carried by four people. The bright red curtain is embroidered with the word "Jubilee" in gold thread. Pink balls are hung at the four corners. It trembles and shines as it moves, making all the girls in the street envious. The eyes of the little daughter-in-law.
"...If I could ride in such a sedan chair, it would be worth dying..." A woman shouted loudly, causing laughter.
Someone snorted amidst the laughter, and there was a bit of sadness in the voice, which was instantly at odds with the festive atmosphere.
"... But when I see new people smiling, I hear old people cry..." This was an old man. He shook his white hair and sighed quietly.
When the people around heard it, there was a trace of sadness on their faces who knew the inside story, and they asked curiously if they didn't know.
"So this Mr. Shen has a wife?"
Before they finished speaking, they heard a commotion in front of them. It seemed that there was more excitement. The people immediately became excited again and rushed over like a tide.
In front of Fuyuan Gongmen, everyone looked at one place with shock on their faces. A group of newcomers who had already entered the gate also stopped at this time.
A woman in a plain dress stood right in front of the gate, with her back to everyone. The people could not see her description, they could only see her delicate body swaying constantly, as if a gust of wind was about to blow her down.
The groom's slightly rough face became even rougher due to his battle on the battlefield. His thick brows were furrowed and the corners of his thin mouth pursed into a straight line. He looked at the woman and slowly raised his chin.
"Ms. Gu, how are you doing?" The groom's voice was sonorous, as if swords were clashing on the battlefield, cold and emotionless.
The woman in the field was trembling, as if she was intimidated by the groom's aura, and suddenly she raised her head and laughed.
The sound was like the cry of a night owl. The sound drowned out the noisy gongs and drums, causing the nearest people to cover their ears.
"How do I treat you? How do I treat you?" the woman said sternly. She stretched out her hand and pointed tremblingly at the newlyweds in front of her, "...Shen Anlin...I, Gu Shiniang, have been married to you for seven years...to support you... Your parents... took care of the family business for seven years... seven years... Shen Anlin... Shen Anlin... What did I do wrong? "
As she spoke, she walked closer step by step and looked up at the aloof groom. In the end, she burst into tears.
The bride, who was holding Hong Chou tightly, seemed a little uneasy, and she couldn't help but get a little closer to the groom.
Looking at the group of newcomers standing side by side, the woman seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and her body swayed.
"...When I married you...you weren't at home..." She looked at the handsome groom in front of her dreamily, "...Mr. Shen...you look so good in your wedding dress..."
The groom's eyebrows relaxed a bit, as if he was thinking about the past, and his voice softened a bit.
"...Ms. Gu... please stop making trouble..." he said slowly, waving his hand.
The servants who were already preparing to attack immediately rushed over.
"Who dares to come here!" The woman suddenly pulled out a knife from her sleeve and waved it around randomly while looking at the groom. "... Before your mother-in-law's body is cold, you should divorce your wife and marry another one. Don't forget that your mother-in-law wants to marry someone else." The oath you made!"
"Ms. Gu!" The words mother-in-law heard, the groom's face turned pale for an instant, then the trace of softness that appeared suddenly disappeared, and he shouted.
"Mr. Gu...Mr. Gu..." the woman repeated sadly, "Mr. Shen... in these years, you have never called me Shiba Niang... Today... just call me..."
"How unbecoming!" the groom shouted angrily, flicking his sleeves, "Take him away!"
The servants were all tall and strong, and they were about to snatch the knife from the woman's hand.
"Shen Anlin!" The woman shouted again. She raised her head and looked at the groom, "I, Gu Shiba Niang, swear to death that I will never let you go even if I am a ghost!"
With these words, the crowd burst into exclamations.
The bride, who was clinging to the groom, also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. No longer caring about etiquette, she raised her hand and pulled off her hijab. What came into view was the dazzling bright red.
"Ah!" She couldn't help but exclaimed, covering her mouth and trembling all over.
"Gu!" The bridegroom took a step forward, but then held back his feet. The veins on his face swelled, and he clenched his hands. He watched the woman fall down with the knife inserted in her chest, and slowly turned away.
"…..Shen Anlin…" The woman still had the last trace of consciousness. Her eyes swept across the group of newlyweds, and finally landed on the bride's face, which was like a hibiscus emerging from water, "….Yuan Sufang…"
The noisy sounds around her gradually disappeared in her ears, and the face of the newcomer in front of her gradually blurred.
"...I, Gu Shiniang, have been making wedding dresses for others for the past seven years..." She murmured, but no one heard her words again, "It's okay, it's fine... I want me, Gu Shiniang, to be gentle and gentle." After being a coward all my life, I finally felt happy... "
In fact, she also knew that this painful blow was destined to achieve nothing except her own life. He, Shen Anlin, had already paved the way to divorce his wife. Her death would not stain him, but It just adds a bright spot to his legendary life.
However, she didn't want to live anymore. The moment she saw the divorce letter, she was helpless and had her last lifeline cut off. She cried, made trouble, knelt down and begged. In the end, it was all in vain, and she didn't even get a reason. , that man, whom she regarded as heaven and earth, left her with only a cold and decisive back.
What did she, Gu Shiba Niang, do wrong? They begged her to marry her seven years ago, and seven years later, they kicked her out again. If they had known this, why did they do it in the first place
She is an orphan, with no parents to protect her, no brothers or sisters to help her, and no children to live with...
She has nothing left, she is naked and has no care in this world... no life... no business...
"...Quickly, pinch him..."
There were sounds of anxiety all around, and then there was a sharp pain. When the knife pierced her heart, she didn't feel that much pain...
"...I still have some energy...pinch..."
"Eighteenth Mother...Eighteenth Mother..."
The fluttering sounds that seemed distant and close gradually gathered her consciousness.
"...The doctor is here...Mom...I'm looking for the doctor..."
This voice became more familiar, and the familiarity made her tears well up uncontrollably.
"..Mother...sister is crying...sister is still alive..."
"Doctor...doctor...save my daughter quickly..."
Mother...brother...all the thoughts that she thought she had forgotten came out at this moment. Can she see them? Can she see them again? Meeting the most precious relatives in life... .
A bright light flashed and she opened her eyes.
The face of an anxious and sad woman appeared in front of her. The woman was about thirty years old, looking at him with tearful eyes.
"Mom..." Her tears suddenly burst into tears, and she cried out in her heart, but when it came to her mouth, it sounded like a mosquito.
The woman was already dazzled by tears and didn't even see her open her eyes.
"Mom! My sister is awake!" A boy's voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time, a young boy's face appeared in front of his eyes, with tears still flowing on his face.
"Brother..." she murmured.
She didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of waking up her sweet dream. She just looked at the two faces in front of her dreamily...
Ten years...ten years...it's been ten years since she lost them...
