Chapter 2: The Yun Family Twins

About thirty years ago, the Yun family, who was promoted back to Beijing from a certain place in the south, brought a pair of sister flowers. One is the second sister of Yun, whose name is Yun Yixia, and the other is the third sister of Yun, whose name is Yun Yiqiu. The two were born in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, they are twin sisters, not only beautiful, but also proficient in the four arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, and even the virtues and words are among the best in Beijing.

Master Yun is a person with great ideas. He knew that his family background was thin, so he didn't think about it at all, but only put his eyes on the nouveau riche in Kyoto, and finally chose one article and one martial arts, and two champions.

The parents of the three parties hit it off, and the two sisters of the Yun family exchanged Geng posts with the two champions respectively and became engaged.

One article and one martial arts, with a pair of twin sisters. Not only is the family right, talented and beautiful, but also for the two daughters, which one is not biased, Master Yun is very satisfied. These two family affairs were once rumored to be good stories.

This was originally the perfect marriage of two pairs of good couples, but I didn't want to, but later it turned out to be a world apart.

A year later, the second sister Yun got married and married the Ning family. And the third sister of Yun is still waiting for the boudoir. After the Wuke champion Yuanlang was engaged, he automatically asked for help, and went to the north to "protect the family and defend the country, and make a name for himself". But I don't want to, four years later, I just wait for the bad news of "dying on the battlefield".

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Master Yun to find another good family for Third Sister Yun, the Yun family's mother died of illness. According to the rules of the Great Zhou, the daughter must keep filial piety for her mother for three years, and she is not allowed to marry during this period.

In this way, the third sister Yun's family affairs were delayed again and again, and after the filial piety period, she was already an old girl of twenty-three or four.

The older she gets, the more difficult it becomes to talk about Third Sister Yun's family. When she was twenty-five years old, the original wife of the governor of Zhejiang, Bai Wang, died of illness, and the third sister Yun was decided by her stepmother, married to the governor Bai, who was already more than forty years old, and filled the house.

The first lady of the Bai family, Bai Wang, was originally a serious concubine from the Marquis of Anqing, and had a son and two daughters for Governor Bai, because she also had a sister in the Wang family, so everyone called her Xiao Wang.

Although the Xiao Wang family is deceased, the family of the Marquis of Anqing is still there. Especially her sister, the Dawang family. The Dawang clan is a good one, and her husband, the loyal and brave marquis, holds the power of the army, and the holy grace is long. She herself is a calf protector, so she is very fond of the nephews and nieces of the Bai family.

After Third Sister Yun married into the Bai family, the sons and daughters who were left behind by the original partner relied on the Hou Mansion to support them, so they didn't take Third Sister Yun as a stepmother very seriously. There is a family of the original partner on the outside, and a group of concubines on the inside, and the third sister Yun's life is very sad.

Even so, Third Sister Yun still held on and gave birth to another daughter and a son for the Bai family. This daughter is Bai Xiaochu, the third lady of the Yun family.

Unfortunately, when Bai Xiaochu was eight years old, Master Bai was ordered to control the chaos and unfortunately died in the line of duty. The emperor Long Enshengde, grateful for his life's achievements, coupled with the strength of the Marquis of Anqing behind the scenes, posthumously awarded Governor Bai a title, nicknamed Nan'an Hou, and enthroned the third.

Although this title is a downgraded inheritance, it is already a great honor for the Bai family.

Governor Bai's eldest son naturally attacked the title of Marquis of Nan'an, although he was demoted by one rank, it was enough for him to "show off his might". The first thing he did was to "assign" his stepmother, Yun Sanjie, and drove her to an ancestral house on the outskirts of Kyoto. But he said to the outside world: My mother is tired of the hustle and bustle of the Beijing master and needs a secluded place to worship the Buddha with peace of mind.

At that time, the master of the Yun family had already died of illness, and the Yun family had no son to inherit the family business, and the remaining scattered branches had also moved back to their ancestral home in the south. So in Kyoto, no one can stand up for Yun Sanjie.

If she really wants to find one, it can only be her sister who married into the Ning family. And the fate of Second Sister Bai is diametrically opposed to Third Sister Bai.

After so many years, the little champion of liberal arts who married her back then rose again and again, and later because of his meritorious service in assisting the new emperor to ascend to the throne, he is now the prime minister of a country where the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty leans towards the government and the opposition, sitting on a seat above ten thousand people under one person, living in the largest mansion in Kyoto, and living a rich and luxurious life.

Second Sister Yun is also a good person, and she is never ambiguous about her sister's affairs. Knowing the changes in the Bai family, he didn't say a word, and took Bai Xiaochu to the Ning family for foster care, and only loved him as his own daughter. Thinking that in the future, I will use the prestige of the Ning family to find a good in-law for my niece.

It's just that God seems to be deliberately trying to make things difficult. Bai Xiaochu hadn't lived a few days of the noble lady's good life, and something big happened to the Ning family: the eldest son of Second Sister Yun and Ning Guoxiang, who was only eighteen years old, suddenly fell ill and died.

The son goes west, and the white-haired man sends the black-haired man, how can he bear this pain? Second Sister Yun fell ill immediately afterward. In the second year, he left nine-year-old Ning Yun and went west.

My aunt is gone, and Bai Xiaochu's foster care for the Ning family naturally died. She had to move back to the Bai family's dilapidated ancestral home. She was snubbed by her family, and she lived with her mother and young brother, and it was not easy.

Over the years, whenever he met Ning Yun, Bai Xiaochu would always put on a posture of "my sister is doing well, don't forget to help my sister", and took advantage of Ning Yun.

Fate is unpredictable. It's too much of a topic. Ning Yun deliberately avoided it, so she picked a happy thing and started the conversation again: "For a family like Shi Guogong, it is also a good thing that Sister Bai can marry and teach her husband and children." If the mother is in the spirit of the sky, she must be happy to know that Sister Bai has found such a good mother-in-law. ”

Mama Xu snorted coldly, and then said: "Don't say anything else, just with the title of the Duke of the Shi family, no matter which daughter of the Bai family marries over, it can be regarded as a high climb." What's more, what about a Bai Xiaochu? It's just that Miss has ever thought that with such a family background as the Shi family, which noble girl in Kyoto can't marry, why did she choose Miss Bai San? Even if you really want to choose a daughter-in-law from the Bai family, it is also the original daughter of the Bai family, Miss Bai Er, who is suitable, how to get her turn? ”

Ning Yun's mind was already delicate, but now when she heard Mama Xu say this, she suddenly understood that there must be a secret in it.

"Miss, you are closed all day long, so naturally you don't have the opportunity to hear those rumors. But this month, the old slave's ears are filled with the broken words of the Bai Shijia's marriage. ”

Mama Xu twisted her eyebrows, suppressed her throat, and her tone was full of disdain: "The old slave heard that the original decision of this historian was not Bai Xiaochu, the third lady of the Wei family, but the granddaughter of the second room of the Duke of Wei. The matchmaker has decided, and the Shi family's dowry has also been issued, and only Geng Ti is left to choose Najib. Which Cheng thought, but there was a big fork in the way. ”

When Mama Xu said this, she paused and took a sip of tea. Ning Yun's mind turned, and then blurted out: "Could it be Sister Bai, ...... her?" ”

"Hmph, isn't it. The third lady of the Bai family may be patient, and she has stirred up a pool of good water! ”。
