Chapter 1 It's Good to Be Alive
The first rain since the beginning of spring, it fell for ten days and ten nights, and the lightning and thunder were very scary the night before, and I heard that a century-old tree in the ancestral hall of the Dong family was also broken. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It doesn't matter if the tree breaks or keeps coming, the important thing is that when the hundred-year-old tree fell, it happened to smash the ancestral hall of the Dong family.
The Dong family has been an official for generations, even if the dynasty has changed, it has never shaken the foundation of the owner.
In the past 300 years, the Dong family has produced a total of 121 tributes, 84 talents, 48 juren, and 18 jinshi, of which 10 have entered the Hanlin, six have entered the cabinet, and one has also served as the capital.
Today's Dong family is divided into two mansions, east and west, and the second old lady of the west mansion, seventy-two-year-old Dong Changsheng, once entered the cabinet and did the household secretary.
Dong Changsheng still stands on the court after two generations of dynasties, and he did not return to his hometown until he was seventy years old, and now the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Dong family are all over the world.
Who would have thought that such a century-old clan would also have a scene of the collapse of the ancestral hall.
Dong Ruyi smiled, she woke up at that time!
When she woke up, she was still her, but she wasn't her anymore.
The rain was still dripping, Dong Ruyi stretched out his hand to catch the rain dripping from the eaves, and the cold rain made Dong Ruyi shiver.
Dong Ruyi muttered: "It feels so good to be alive, no... It's a good feeling that my father, mother, and younger brother are here. β
The wind in early spring was still a little cool, and a gust of wind mixed with rain hit, and the rain on the eaves crackled and fell with the wind.
Dong Ruyi withdrew her hand, and she looked at the sky in the distance with both hands.
"The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the son wants to raise but the parent is not there, Ruyi really understands, and really knows that it is wrong. Thank you to the heavens for letting Ruyi live a new life, this life Ruyi not only wants to atone for the sins of the previous life, but also seeks the glory of a lifetime for my parents who love me. β
There was the sound of unhurried footsteps at the staircase, and the creaking of the staircase.
Dong Ruyi lowered her hand, she still looked into the distance, but she didn't say anything anymore.
Mother Qian, who came back from desertion, saw that the window of the embroidery building was opened, and the eldest lady stood motionless at the window alone.
She was so frightened that her face turned white, she lost what she was holding, and ran to Dong Ruyi's side in three steps and two steps.
She took Dong Ruyi's arm with one hand and pulled the window that was pushed open with the other, only to hear a 'bang', the window frame shook and the window closed.
Mother Qian was shocked and said loudly: "My eldest lady, you can't stay well, you can't save your life, you are not afraid of falling from here and drowning." β
She forgot at all that if Dong Ruyi fell, it would be caused by her desertion in the final analysis.
Dong Ruyi, who has come back to life, will not fall, she is not a child. She didn't pay attention to what Qian's mother said, anyway, she wouldn't stay by her side.
Dong Ruyi likes it very much, this embroidery building is the embroidery room before her mother got married, and it is very clean.
Under the window is a lotus pond with koi fish in it, and from here, you can see the endless rice fields and large houses outside the house, but it is not yet the time to cultivate.
Mother Qian, who had relieved herself, sat next to Dong Ruyi, she looked at Dong Ruyi, who had no reaction, and said: "I'm really scared and confused, telling you a three-year-old doll about this, it is estimated that you will fall down and drown, and you will not understand how you died." β
Mother Qian saw Dong Ruyi sitting quietly on the side, didn't pay attention to her anymore, and got up to pick up the trick that was thrown on the ground just now.
Dong Ruyi has been like this since he woke up, not paying much attention to people and not talking much.
Dong Ruyi's nursing mother is Zhou's mother, she has been overworked in the past few days, and finally fell ill.
Chen was afraid that Zhou's mother would be sick and give Sister Ru a good rest, so she asked Zhou's mother to rest for a few days, she knew that Zhou's mother was really tired.
Fortunately, this is the Chen family, and she is not afraid of what Mother Qian will do, so she left Mother Qian here to take care of Sister Ru, and she will come over every day to take a look at Sister Ru.
Chen is also very busy these days, and Dong Sanye is also sick and infected with wind and cold. Under Chen's careful care, he has already sweated.
Dong Ruyi didn't think about it left and right, and he didn't think that he had a rich mother in his previous life, and he knew that he should have been kicked out by his mother.
She had already thought about it since she woke up, letting go of everything in her previous life, and only living the present life, and she began to slowly recall what happened in her childhood.
For as long as she can remember, their family has been in Jingzhao's Great Bachelor's Mansion, and she doesn't remember the life in the Dong family in Jiangning, nor does she remember the life in the Chen family in Jiangning.
The Dong family's hometown is in Jiangning, where there are thousands of acres of fields and land of the Dong family.
The Dong family's ancestral house, ancestral hall, ancestral tomb, and ethnography are also here, and this is the foundation of the Dong family.
The ancestor of their branch is Dong Xianzhi, who entered the cabinet and became the capital of the previous dynasty, and they are the Dong family in Jiangning.
The children of the Dong family either gain fame or take care of the business for the Dong family, they all have to live in the Dong family and live for the Dong family.
Fortunately, the old mansion of the Dong family is very large, and it is expanding every year, so there is no worry about the place to live.
Of course, there are exceptions, just like their family, but anyone who is an official in the court can open a single house.
It's just that her father Dong Xianqing has not yet become an official, he just took the township exam a few days ago, counting the days, my father should have passed the exam this time.
Dong Ruyi showed a smile on his face again, and he didn't know whether the official messenger who reported the good news was going to Dong's house to report the good news or to Chen's house to report the good news.
"What is Sister Ru happy about?" A gentle voice appeared in Dong Ruyi's ears.
Dong Ruyi saw her mother at the staircase of the embroidery building at a glance, and only her mother went up the stairs without making a sound in this embroidery building.
Dong Ruyi smiled sweetly and said coquettishly: "Mother, is Daddy cured? Daddy snatched Sister Ru's mother-in-law away." β
Chen stepped forward and touched Dong Ruyi's forehead, held her in his arms, and said with a smile: "Sister Ru's little mouth is sweet, when did my mother become Sister Ru's?"
Dong Ruyi hugged Chen back and said: "My mother is like a sister, and I am also my father's, or my brother's." β
Chen's heart was warm, and he hugged Sister Ru and said, "Your father is much better, it's just an ordinary wind chill, it's okay." Tell my mother, is there anything uncomfortable about Sister Ru?"
Dong Ruyi lay in Chen's arms, inhaled the smell on her clothes, and said, "If you can go to the pond outside to play, Sister Ru would be better." β
Chen's face changed, his voice was still gentle, and he said, "Tell my mother, how does Sister Ru know that there is a pond outside?"
Mother Qian's legs had already begun to tremble, and she stared at Dong Ruyi desperately.
Dong Ruyi glanced up at Qian's mother, shook her head and nestled in Chen's arms.
Mother Qian's eyes fell on Mother Wu and Chen's eyes seamlessly, Mother Qian hurriedly lowered her head when she saw this, not daring to look at Dong Ruyi anymore, but her body trembled even more.
