Xu Miaoyi looked at the brightly lit ancestral hall in front of her, and there were many figures shaking inside, but they were silent, as if a group of scarecrows were floating.

The snow fell silently, and there was a dead silence. She had stood at the door of this ancestral hall countless times, and she knew what was going on inside without pushing the door. At the age of seven, she pushed open the door of this ancestral hall, and her life changed forever.

"Feng'er, what are you still doing? Hurry inside, your grandfather called you. A beautiful woman took her hand and looked at her with a smile.

"Mother?" Xu Miaoyi was stunned, the beautiful woman in front of her was still the same as in the past, and the most dexterous painters couldn't depict her beauty.

Xiao Xie stood on tiptoe and touched her head, "My Feng'er is getting married, look, she is two heads taller than her mother, she has really grown up." ”

Xiao Xie was about to push the door, Xu Miaoyi was in a hurry, there was a scene of dozens of Xie family's lives hanging from the beam, it was the nightmare of her life, she hurriedly stopped at the door, "Can't go in!" Can't watch! Mother, let's go home! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a squeak, and the door of the ancestral hall actually opened from the inside!

Xu Miaoyi was taken aback, but the mother in front of her, Xiao Xie, smiled and gave a salute, "Father, I will take my daughter back to her parents' house to see you." ”

Xu Miaoyi turned her head slowly, and her grandfather Xie Zaixing said with a smile, "Come in, it's cold outside, be careful to freeze my precious granddaughter." ”

Xu Miaoyi blinked, and the ancestral hall of the Xie family suddenly disappeared, becoming the lobby of the Xie family, where there was a lively family banquet, and dozens of people from the Xie family sat around watching the play, drinking and eating tea, as if there had never been a tragedy.

Xie Zaixingsai gave her a red envelope, and said in a low voice: "Your red envelope is a little more than your cousin's, don't say it, lest your cousin complain about me for being biased." ”

The grandfather in my impression is like this, and he said to Zhu Shouqian that you are a little more than your cousin, in fact, your grandfather is as good as the two grandsons, he likes to coax his grandson like this, looking at his grandson and feeling exclusive and favored, proud and with an innocent smile, all his troubles disappeared, this is a little secret between grandparents and grandchildren.

But in reality, my grandfather was trampled by the horses, destroyed the corpse, and the bones were gone. Xu Miaoyi burst into tears, "Grandpa, I'm ...... I've found the murderer, but I can't avenge you, I'm so useless. ”

Xie Zaixing had a smile on his face, and touched her head as if he was soothing, "It's not that I don't report it, the time has not come." You grow up, have your own responsibilities and life, don't continue to live in resentment, think about what kind of deeds you want to achieve in the future or who to protect and who to protect, my granddaughter is the best woman in the Ming Dynasty, you will always be our pride. ”

After the family banquet, Xiao Xie took his daughter's hand and said goodbye to his father, boarded the carriage, in a trance, Xu Miaoyi seemed to have become a seven-year-old child again, leaning on her mother tightly, the wind and snow outside the window, everything was silent and withered, a jackdaw stood on the branch, amber eyes looked at her coldly, and made a strange quacking sound.

It was the scene of the dead vines and old trees fainting again, Xu Miaoyi's body shrank a little, Xiao Xie felt her daughter's nervousness, gently stroked her back, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Tell Captain Song not to go forward, there is an ambush ahead." ”

Xiao Xie asked, "Miaoyi, what are you talking about?" ”

Xu Miaoyi said anxiously: "I mean......"

The vague scene gradually became clear, Xu Miaoyi found herself curled up in Zhu Di's arms and asleep, instead of her mother Xiao Xie, looking around, she was wearing heavy Zhai clothes, in the luxurious carriage of Yanwang Mansion, the wind and snow were blowing outside, and the carriage was as warm as spring.

It turned out to be a sudden dream, last night's night in the cave room was short, on the mandarin duck pillow, and sleepy, hazy, before dawn to get up and enter the palace to see, Xu Miaoyi fell asleep in the carriage into the palace by Zhu Di, Zhu Di helped her sit up, "Have a nightmare?" There are also tears on the eyelashes. ”

Xu Miaoyi recalled the dream, there were no tears in the dream, there was no assassination, and her mother and grandfather did not die in front of her in a tragic way again and again, as if it was a strange circle that could never get out. Until Zhu Di appeared, breaking this strange circle, the wind and rain on the road of life, the two of them bear it together.

Mother and they are not alive, but I can feel their blessings to us. Xu Miaoyi smiled, "It's actually a sweet dream, let's cry with joy." ”

The little waiter outside said: "King Yan, Princess Yan, Fengxian Hall has arrived." ”

Zhu Di hurriedly put on a heavy Jiuzhai crown for Xu Miaoyi, Xu Miaoyi also gave Zhu Di a cut on the black crown dress, and the two got out of the carriage. In the Fengxian Palace, Emperor Hongwu wore a big red leather dress, and Queen Ma wore a Yanju dress and sat on the top.

Zhu Di stood in the east, Xu Miaoyi stood in the west, Hu Shanwei stood on the right side of Xu Miaoyi with a plate of red dates and chestnuts, and the newlywed Yan'er and his wife bowed to each other. The two little chamberlains set up a table in front of Emperor Hongwu, Hu Shanwei handed the plate full of red dates and chestnuts to Xu Miaoyi, Xu Miaoyi held the plate and served it on the table, the two little chamberlains lifted the table, Xu Miaoyi followed closely and held it to Emperor Hongwu's side.

Xu Miaoyi was about to bow to Emperor Hongwu according to etiquette, but Emperor Hongwu pointed to the jujube chestnut and asked: "You are from a famous family, do you know what allusions there are to this jujube chestnut?" ”

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu advocated emulating ancient rites, attaching importance to sacrificial rituals, and simply moved the ancient Zhou rites out of the application. Ordinary people only know that jujube chestnut is the homonym of "early lizi", and the meaning of many sons and grandchildren is similar to the peanut lotus seed longan and so on in the cave house last night, but in fact, it is not......

Fortunately, before marriage, Hu Shanwei pulled Xu Miaoyi day and night to teach various royal etiquette, Xu Miaoyi was prepared and responded:

"The Book of Rites: Qu Li" says: "The woman's concubine, the hazel preserved calf, the jujube chestnut." Jujube, Zao, Li, Su. Take the jujube chestnut as a substitute to get up early and tremble, self-righteousness. Jujube takes jujube respect, chestnut takes chestnut, which means that as a daughter-in-law, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and honor your in-laws. ”

Xu Miaoyi was respectful on her face, but she secretly slandered herself in her heart: Fortunately, the temporary cramming of Buddha's feet worked, a good Hongwu Emperor, the measure was narrow, and the new daughter-in-law just started the first day, and she beat around the bush to give Ma Wei. Bully me for not reading much, and you haven't read any books, have you? ……

Seeing that Zhu Di was about to open her mouth to help her daughter-in-law, Queen Ma hurriedly started a round and said with a smile: "In fact, no matter what the allusion is, in the end, it is for the family to live in harmony in the future." Miaoyi married into the royal family, she is a member of our Zhu family, Shiro, treat your daughter-in-law well. ”

The ceremony of the court meeting was completed, the emperor and queen announced the opening of the banquet, and the palace was lively and noisy all day.

Zhou Wang Zhu Hu last night to his brother to block the wine, drunk very drunk, all relying on the sobering pills to support the palace to watch the ceremony, at the banquet, Zhu Hu has thoughts, the wine into the sorrow of the intestines more sorrowful, a glass of fine wine, the more you drink, the more sorrowful, the more you want to get yourself drunk, when drunk, as if you can see your soul out of the body, fluttering like a fairy, do not have to carry such a heavy sorrow, in order to seek a moment of relief.

He stumbled out of the hall with a wine jug, the wind and snow outside did not abate, the world was cold and clean, Zhu Lu smelled a cold fragrance of plum blossoms, looking for incense and left, an ancient plum tree in the corner of the garden stood quietly in the wind and snow, there was a person wrapped in a fox fur under the tree to enjoy the plum in the snow, but there were thousands of plum blossoms, it was better for her to look back.

Wang Yinnu nodded lightly, "It's such a coincidence, the fifth uncle also came to enjoy the plum." I'll take my leave. ”

The moment the two stepped in, Zhu Hu grabbed Wang Yinnu's wrist with the strength of wine!

Wang Yinnu said lightly: "Uncle Fifth has drunk too much, please let me go." ”

Zhu Hu said: "Yinnu, the fourth brother is married, and it will be my turn soon." ”

Wang Yinnu said: "Then I congratulate the fifth uncle in advance." ”

Zhu Hu looked directly into Wang Yinnu's eyes fixedly, "I don't believe you will be indifferent!" Sound slave! As long as you say a word, I can give up everything and take you away. ”

Wang Yinnu struggled to break free from the restraints, "You're crazy! I'm your second sister-in-law! ”

Zhu Lu was full of wine, and blurted out: "It doesn't matter who you are, my fourth sister-in-law's experience is more complicated, they have repeatedly insisted, gone through twists and turns, and are willing to come together, so that they will have today's marriage." What the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law can do, we can also do. ”

Wang Yinnu said: "No, they can, but you and I can't do it. ”

Zhu Hu asked, "Why?" ”

Wang Yinnu said: "If you and I were as strong and decisive as them, we would have flown away after meeting and falling in love with you in the hospital long ago, why would there be an embarrassing situation where my uncle and sister-in-law are commensurate today." At that time, if I had Xu Miaoyi's desperate stubbornness, I would have identified myself to you in the beauty time, and I would not be led by the nose by the world; If you have the courage of the fourth brother, you will accept my identity, give up the wealth of the prince, escape from the Ming Dynasty with me, and love each other for a lifetime. ”

"But you and I don't have all these qualities, character determines fate, everything is self-inflicted, what's the use of regret? We missed the best of times and couldn't turn back. ”

Zhu Hu hugged Wang Yinnu in despair, "No, as long as you say a word and are willing to go with me, we can start again." Yinnu, I don't want to marry a woman I don't love, call her a lady, give birth to a child with her, and make do with it for a lifetime, since I met you, the wife in my heart has always been you, only you. ”

Wang Yinnu firmly pushed Zhu Hu away, "I can't go with you!" Now that the prince has ascended the throne, the two countries are about to go to war, if I elope with you at this time, it will not only disgrace the family, my eldest brother will lose face, but also give the Ming an excuse to send troops. ”

Zhu Hu hugged Wang Yinnu tightly, "Are you really willing to bury your whole life in the tomb of the living dead in the Qin Palace, for the sake of your family and the Northern Yuan?" ”

Wang Yinnu finally pushed Zhu Hu away and said coldly: "Then what do you think is harmony?" Is it a child playing at home, or is it the warmth in the book? ”

After that, Wang Yinnu left without looking back, leaving Zhu Hu alone under the plum tree. 166 Reading Network
