Chapter 119: Marriage Proposal

Fujiwara Meihong is Fujiwara's daughter, but there are many children who are not equal, and Meihong's mother is just a subordinate.

In a certain banquet, as the right minister, he drank too much than waiting for a while, and had a relationship with the maid in a mood, but what he didn't expect was that he got pregnant with the maid at one time.

As a maid, she is the property of the Fujiwara family and has no status, not to mention having a relationship with the head of the family, even if she is given away, it is normal, because this is the atmosphere of the times.

Having a relationship with the head of the family and having an heir made the maid extremely happy at first, but Fujiwara did not have as many wives and concubines, so naturally he would not care much about a maid.

Although this maid is also beautiful, it can't reach the point of captivating the country and the city, and there is nothing to feel sorry for the incomparable ministers of the official residence.

The lost maid is like the noble concubine in the palace who was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, and only has her own independent courtyard in the corner of the Fujiwara family's mansion, and soon after giving birth to her daughter, she has never met with Bubi again.

Although he has the heirs of the Fujiwara family, he still has to do the work of others, and even the whole family is quite cold to him, which is even more difficult than when he was a maid.

With too much labor and insufficient nutrition, she was already sick for a long time at the age of thirty, and she was old and no longer human.

She has no name and no surname, and if she wants to say that she is satisfied, her daughter can be given the surname Fujiwara, and she has also been given a name.

If she still missed it at the beginning, then as time went by, she no longer had any ideas, and her daily work was devoted to her daughter, just so that she could live a good life.

As long as her daughter grows up happily, she will marry a good family when she grows up, even if she is worth it in the city no matter how hard she works.

"Sister Hong...... Where are you going?" she saw that her daughter was about to go out, and hurriedly stopped.

"Mother's ......"

"Are you going out to fight again?" coughed lightly, put down the needle and thread in his hand, and looked at Mei Hong, who had already stepped out with one foot.

"No...... No, I'm going to play with Brother Li Si. Mei Hong hurriedly waved her hand, since she met Li Si, she has grown long hair, and even her demeanor is much quieter, putting on a gorgeous robe for her, it is estimated that everyone will regard her as the eldest lady of the aristocratic family.

Today's Meihong is fourteen years old, and the age of marriage in this era is generally 13 years old, she should have been married, but as a maid, she is a member of the Fujiwara family after all, and it is impossible to have a free marriage, and marriage must be agreed by others.

The maid knew that her daughter would probably be used as a political prop, which was unavoidable, and she just hoped that her daughter's future husband would be kind to her.

When Meihong heard her mother's cough, she quickly ran over to support her and patted her on the back.

Mei Hong looked at her mother worriedly, this is the person she cares about the most, and at the same time she cares about her the most.

"You're in such bad shape, so go to bed and rest for a while. ”

"Mother is fine, I still have to make wedding clothes for my sister Hong. He kindly touched his daughter's hair, this beautiful woman in her youth was now old, she was only thirty, but her hair was gray.

Her hands were no longer as smooth and delicate as they used to be, but were covered with wrinkles, and next to her was a half-made red kimono, a dress that most women would wear when they got married.

She can't let Meihong live a better life, but at least she has to let her wear the most beautiful clothes on the day she gets married.

"My sister has changed a lot, and she has started to grow long hair, which is so beautiful. Looking at her daughter, she smiled with satisfaction.

Looking at her mother, the moisture in my sister's red eyes came out, and she choked up and didn't speak.

"Sister Hong likes the young man named Li Temple, when will she take it home and see, it is best to agree to this marriage. She continued to pick up the needle and thread in her hand, sewing the patterns on it one by one, and the material of the kimono was also a rare silk, all of which she had accumulated bit by bit.

"I ...... Mei Hong doesn't want to get married, and Mei Hong wants to accompany her mother forever. Grabbing her mother's hand, Mei Hong said distressedly.

"Silly boy......" The old hand stroked Meihong's smooth long hair, staring at her somewhat emaciated body.

"Sister Hong is going to get married one day, Sister Hong is your mother taking care of you in the first half of her life, and in the second half of her life, it is your future husband who takes care of you. ”

"If Mei Hong likes it, then let it go, the charm of our sister is not a little bit or two. Breaking the sentimental atmosphere, the woman laughed.

"Mother...... Sister Hong didn't go out, so I'll accompany my mother today. Mei Hong lowered her head and whispered.

"How's that going to work...... Don't let the boys wait. ”

"We don't have a chance...... He probably only thinks of me as a friend. Mei Hong said sadly that although she was very close to him every time she was with him, she found that his heart was not here, in a place she couldn't see.

"Alas......" took her daughter into her arms with pity, and the woman slowly stroked her sister's long red hair.

......

Why hasn't Meihong come yet...... The appointed time has passed for a long time, but Li Si can't see the figure of the street corner girl Hong.

After getting along for a long time, he had inexplicable feelings for Mei Hong, but Mei Hong didn't pay attention, and Li Si didn't say it.

There will be a festival tonight, when the whole city of Kyoto will come alive with stalls, illuminated lights, and fireworks that will light up the sky.

Yesterday, Li Si and Mei Hong agreed to visit this festival together, and he thought about it for a long time before deciding to confess. He has also reached the age of marrying a girl, and Meihong is different from other girls, they have a relationship foundation, and they have a good impression of each other. In order not to worry too much about the two elders in the family, Li Si thought that if Mei Hong and her family agreed, he would marry her.

But now that the appointed time has passed, the sky is slowly getting darker, and the whole street is beginning to be lively, but Meihong still hasn't appeared.

Meihong is not a girl who will miss an appointment, maybe something happened at home. Forget it, let's go to Fujiwara House, Li Temple, who is worried about Meihong, decided to take a trip himself.

Fujiwara House is located not far from the Imperial Palace, in the heart of the city, and it is also a short walk away.

By this time, it was already dark, the festival had begun, and now the sky was full of fireworks just like the usual Spring Festival, and the avenue where the original walk was crowded, and young men and women in yukata walked down the street looking for their favorite.

Li Temple is also very eye-catching in it, squeezing all the way over, he was accosted by many girls and children, but he was rejected by Li Temple, who wanted to find Meihong.

It took a lot of effort to pass through the flow of people to the rich area, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, the rich area is the richest area in the whole city, and it is forbidden to set up stalls here.

Walking through the dark avenue, Li Temple knocked on the door of Fujiwara's house.

"What's the matter?" it was a servant who opened the door, and he frowned and said in a vicious tone when he saw Li Si's unfamiliar appearance.
