Twenty years ago, in the cold winter, Yanagifu, Kyoto.

It was the middle of the night, but the house was brightly lit, and five women were sitting around a man, all looking at a room, where the midwife was busy going back and forth, and a beautiful woman was lying on the bed with a pale face, but what did not match her temperament was that she was wearing a sackcloth with some patches faintly visible on it.

A delicate baby's cry interrupted the conversation of everyone outside the room, and a midwife ran out of the room with a happy face to report the good news: "Congratulations to the master, the sixth lady has given birth to a young lady!"

This baby girl is Liu Rumei, and the old man sitting outside the room is one of the current families - Liu Zhizhang, the head of the Liu Mansion, and the five women around him are Liu Zhizhang's wives.

Liu Zhizhang, who was full of joy, heard the "good news" of the midwife, and his face was instantly gloomy.

He said angrily: "Where does the joy come from? What a waste!"

"Everybody let me out, don't serve this shit anymore!"

Liu Zhizhang's eyes swept over the midwife, the people in the house, and the women around him, and then brushed his sleeves away.

The five women next to her fell to the ground with a big stone in their hearts, pretending to comfort Liu Zhizhang, but they were cheering in their hearts.

When the group learned that it was a baby girl, they left without even stepping through the door, leaving the beautiful woman on the bed and the baby girl Liu Rumei covered in blood.

It's no wonder that Liu Zhizhang is so angry, because he was overindulged in his early years, he was told by the doctor last year that he was no longer fertile, and he was already childless under his knees, and he was eager to have a successor, otherwise his position as the head of the Liu family could only flow into the hands of Liu Zhixin, the second door.

The beautiful woman lying on the bed had already heard the sound outside the room and burst into tears.

He sighed faintly, and weakly dragged his freshly delivered body towards the baby girl.

She picked up Liu Rumei, whose face was bloodshot, looked at her and smiled slightly and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, my mother will take you to take a bath." ”

The baby girl seemed to feel the kind maternal love, and she also stopped crying, and looked at the beautiful woman curiously.

The beautiful woman put the baby aside, dragged herself to the boiling kettle in the room, lifted the kettle with great effort, poured the hot water into the wooden basin with trembling legs, waited for the water to be warmer, and then carried the baby into the wooden basin, and washed the baby with trembling hands.

After washing, the baby was carefully wrapped in a clean cloth and placed on the bed, and she climbed into bed with the last of her strength, and fell into a deep sleep.

This is the birth of Liu Rumei.

The beautiful woman is Liu Rumei's biological mother, Yan Jingchun.

She was also a famous family, at that time Liu Zhizhang tried his best to pursue her, but because Liu Zhizhang was romantic, she was politely refused, but the family offended the powerful people in the court, and the family was in the middle of the road, so he had no choice but to go to Liu Zhizhang, and was accepted by Liu Zhizhang as a concubine, but Liu Zhizhang was narrow-minded and still remembered the hatred of the year, so he has suffered a lot since he married into Liufu.

At this time, a group of women sent Liu Zhizhang back to the bedroom and held a small meeting in the house of the eldest lady Le Hexiang.

A woman said with a sneer: "Yan Jingchun, that little slut, when she was pregnant with a child, she relied on the love of her master to ignore everyone. ”

This person is Yan Hua, the third lady of Liufu, with a bitter and mean face.

The fourth lady Bian Ru also immediately responded: "That's it, this little slut has lost the favor of the lord now, see how I treat her, let her know the rules!"

......

In this way, Liu Rumei and Yan Jingchun suffered a lot of grievances in the Liu Mansion, obviously they were the six ladies in the house, but there was no one to serve, and from time to time they went to serve tea and water to several other ladies, and they were abused and beaten at every turn, and those who didn't know thought that the two were maids in the house.

Liu Rumei was very puzzled at first, why her sisters had beautiful clothes to wear and delicious meals to eat, but she could only hide aside and drool, and then gradually accepted the reality, but felt sorry for her mother, who had been weak and sick since she gave birth to her.

Liu Rumei and Yan Jingchun were so lonely and miserable, and they lived together for eighteen years.

Until one morning, there was a noisy sound outside the courtyard of the originally silent Sixth Lady, and the people carried loads of things into the courtyard, and the burdens were still tied with red satin.

The fourth lady Bian Ru also came, only to see her shouting at the top of her voice: "Sixth sister, come out quickly, I will give you good news!"

Yan Jingchun and Liu Rumei hurriedly walked out to watch.

Yan Jingchun was a little surprised, stepped forward and bent down to greet Bian Ru, her eyelids jumped slightly and asked, "Fourth sister, what are the good things you said?"

Bian Ru said with a smirk: "You are a blessing that can only be cultivated in a few lifetimes! The emperor personally gave Rumei a marriage and gave Mu Feng, the king of the southwest, as a princess, you see, these are all dowry gifts from the southwest palace!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the burden next to him.

Liu Rumei boldly went and opened some boxes, including combs, rulers, mirrors, scissors, etc., as well as a small box of gold ingots.

Yan Jingchun's face was full of panic, she knew about the Southwest Wang Mufeng, but her age was about the same as her, and she was nearly two rounds older than Liu Rumei, if her daughter married her, wouldn't it hurt her?

Yan Jingchun kept repeating in her mouth: "No, Mei'er can't marry, Mei'er can't marry......"

Brushed out of the courtyard and headed towards the main courtyard.

At this time, Liu Zhizhang was drinking tea deliciously, and when he saw Yan Jingchun bumping in, it was rare that he was not angry.

said lightly: "Although it is a good thing, Madam doesn't have to be so flustered, sit down and drink tea!"

Yan Jingchun's face was full of tears, and she knelt down towards Liu Zhizhang and said: "Master, Mei'er can't marry Mu Feng, you are ruining Mei'er's life by doing this, as long as Mei'er doesn't marry, I, Yan Jingchun, am willing to be a cow and a horse in this life, beg the master to intercede, don't let Mei'er marry Mu Feng!"

Liu Zhizhang changed his face in an instant, and said gloomily: "Okay, you slut, isn't it child's play for the emperor to give you a marriage? I'm going to intercede? Do you want my head to move?"

"Someone, pull this poisonous woman down and serve her with a stick!"

Suddenly, a few family members came up, and they didn't care about Yan Jingchun, who was crying, and forcibly dragged them down.

It wasn't until late evening that Yan Jingchun limped back to the courtyard with scars all over her body.

Seeing her mother like this, Liu Rumei still didn't know what was going on, and helped Yan Jingchun to the bed with tears on her face.

Yan Jing was pure and bloodless, her mouth was chapped, and she said weakly to Liu Rumei: "Mei'er, it's strange that my mother is incompetent, but this marriage must not be!"

"You run, you know there's a little hole in the backyard, you run out of there, go away, and never go back to this chilling Liufu!" said and pushed Liu Rumei.

Although Liu Rumei was full of tears, her face was full of strength, and she said, "Mother, I ran away, what should you do?"

"I think about it, I want to get married, I want to leave this ruthless iron cage, besides, I heard that the king of the southwest guards the border pass, a hero, I marry is a hundred times better than staying in this chilling place!"

Yan Jingchun struggled to get up and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Rumei: "Mother, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind!"

After Liu Rumei finished speaking, she ran out of the yard with a sad face, leaving Yan Jingchun lying on the bed and crying silently.

It's not that Liu Rumei figured it out, but when Yan Jingchun ran to the main courtyard, an uninvited guest was ushered in in the courtyard, it was the eunuch Wei Siliang, Wei Siliang threatened Liu Rumei with the life of the entire Liu family, and asked her to enter the southwest palace as a princess to deliver news.

In fact, the original candidate for marriage was Liu Qian, the daughter of the fourth lady's knee, but when the fourth lady heard the news, she immediately found Liu Zhizhang, crying and hanging, and it happened that Liu Zhizhang still had resentment about Liu Rumei's birth, so it was logical to change the candidate to Liu Rumei.

......

In a blink of an eye, Liu Rumei has been married to Mufu for two years, and what amazes him is that Mu Feng has a deep love for the late princess, and she is still a virgin for two years.

Liu Rumei put on the brocade clothes and jade shirts she once dreamed of, and ate the delicious food she thought about day and night, but she was not happy, married to Mu Mansion for two years, because of the late princess, except for the two maids around her, she was not treated by anyone in the house, Mu Feng also lived in the army all the year round, she had to go deep into Jane every day, and quietly cultivate flowers and plants, only these flowers and plants can give her a little comfort.

It wasn't until one day, with the arrival of a little fat man, that it broke all this.

This little fat man is Mu Meteor, I saw him staggering into the yard, running around and shopping, after a while, the flowers and plants carefully cared for in the yard of Liu Rumei were broken, broken, and some were uprooted, and the courtyard was in a mess.

Liu Rumei collapsed directly to the ground, tears dripping, she hated it so much, God was so unfair, unfair to her mother, unfair to her, and even the flowers and plants she chatted about to comfort were destroyed.

Mu Liuxing looked at Liu Rumei, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and was startled, knowing that something was wrong, and he ran away as soon as he slipped away.

The next day, Liu Rumei, who was completely unenergetic, sat paralyzed on the bed, if it wasn't for the protection of her mother's life, she would have committed suicide yesterday.

Xiao Cui hurriedly ran into the bedroom and said, "Madam, the prince has come to make amends to you!"

Liu Rumei had no choice but to get up and get dressed and go out to greet her.

I saw Mu Meteor holding a pot of good-looking Phalaenopsis in both hands, and said in a childish voice: "Mu Meteor came to make amends to Erniang, a small gift is not a tribute!"

Liu Rumei bent over in surprise and took it.

Mu Liuxing crossed his hands on his hips, and said in a childish voice: "Yesterday, I was abrupt, I didn't know that these flowers and plants were actually Erniang's beloved things, I promise that next time I will definitely not!"

Liu Rumei was moved, she bent down and hugged Mu Meteor in her arms, walked into the hall, and put Mu Meteor on her lap, her eyes were slightly red and said thank you.

Mu Meteor waved his hand like an adult and said, "You're welcome!"

Liu Rumei exclaimed cuteness and wrapped it tightly into her chest.

Mu Liuxing also shouted happily, after all, it is the dream of all men to have a beautiful woman, but soon he couldn't stand it, not because he didn't like it, but because Liu Rumei hugged him too hard, he was almost out of breath, and hurriedly coughed.

Liu Rumei put down the wood meteor to see if the wood meteor was suffocated.

Mu Meteor said like a little adult: "It's okay, pay attention next time!"

made Liu Ru smile with a smile.

Mu Meteor was stunned and said, "It's beautiful!"

Liu Rumei's face suddenly turned red with shame, this is the first time someone has praised her, and she is still a man, no, boy. But it didn't prevent the strange feelings in her heart from beginning to sprout.

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Mu Liuxing changed the topic and said, "Do you still like the flowers I gave you?"

Liu Rumei said a little shyly: "I like it!"

Mu Liuxing said: "If you like it, I will bring you a pot of beautiful flowers and plants every time I go out in the future!"

"If you still have important things to do, you won't bother Erniang anymore and say goodbye!"

Mu Meteor thought that his words and his own form must be very chic, but he never thought that Liu Rumei would be amused again.

Then the wood meteor slipped away again.

The next day at noon.

Liu Rumei had just had lunch and was taking a break in the gazebo.

The wood meteor ran in in a hurry, and Liu Rumei turned her eyes to see that she was holding a pot of small flowers that she couldn't even name, but it was very beautiful.

Looking at the wood meteor at this time, with a simple smile on his face, covered in mud, some mud still hanging on his fleshy face, and some scars on his hands, it seems that he dug up this small flower with his bare hands.

Liu Rumei was suddenly full of emotion and distress, took Xiaohua and put it aside, asked Xiaocui to bring a basin of water, gently wiped the mud on Mu Meteor's face with a towel, and then gently wiped Mu Meteor's hands, Wood Meteor suddenly hissed in pain, and she cried distressedly.

On the contrary, it was Mu Liuxing who comforted her and said: "Erniang doesn't have to be so sad, the injury on the man's body is proof of honor." ”

Liu Rumei was sad, and was amused by the appearance of the little adult of the wood meteor, and asked Xiao Cui to take the ointment, personally put it on the wood meteor, and bandaged it, so as to put the wood meteor down.

Seeing Liu Ru's eyebrows and smiling, Mu Liuxing was relieved, and found a relaxed topic again, and asked, "This little flower, do you like Erniang?"

Liu Rumei nodded.

Mu Liuxing said again: "Then do you know the name of this flower?"

Liu Rumei shook her head again.

Mu Liuxing said again, "I don't know, then the master himself will name it, let's call it Meixinghua!"

Liu Ru's eyebrows lit up and nodded slightly.

Then came the sound of a pig's cry of a wood meteor, as Liu Rumei forcibly carried him into the bathroom......

Since then, the wood meteor often brings some small flowers and grasses, Liu Rumei seems to have a leaf of duckweed to rely on, gradually, there are more smiles, more words, the people in the house see that the new lady is actually quite kind, and gradually no longer alienate her.

Gradually, the Zhengqi Pavilion, which was originally full of flowers and plants, was left with only a few scattered plants, swaying pitifully in the wind.

......

What made Liu Rumei happiest was the night before Mu Meteor's birthday.

That night, she left behind the so-called ethics of the norm, her identity as a spy, and even the safety of her mother who was far away in Kyoto.

That night, she was the married bride, that night, she was the real Liu Rumei, she had already guessed what kind of heroic scene the next day would be, and she had long lost hope of life.

So she couldn't wait to show her emotions, her body, everything she had to show her to the people she wanted, and she wanted to let Jupiter get herself, even though he was just a six-year-old boy.

......

Looking back at this, Liu Rumei's faint snort was completely broken, but the smile on her face was like a flower.

She didn't know until she died that her mother, Yan Jingchun, who she had been thinking about, had died of illness the day after she got married.

In the courtyard, magnolias, phalaenopsis, yueji, flower butterflies, violets and the eyebrow star flower, etc., have withered, the whole courtyard is only white and mottled, everything has become tasteless, as if Liu Rumei is the fairy in the flowers, she is gone, all the flowers will follow......
