Chapter 1 Hou Mansion

It had been snowing heavily for several days, and the droplets of water falling from the roof of the corridor outside the house had formed icicles, and the maids who were standing outside and waiting had put their hands to their lips from time to time.

A girl in a jade embroidered jacket hurried back, leaving the sound of 'dong dong dong' footsteps on the wooden cloister. As soon as the girls guarding the door saw her, they quickly brought her a cup of hot tea, and the girl reached out to hold the hot tea, and was about to open her mouth to ask, when a girl with a beautiful face came out in the house, and when she saw the girl who had just come back from outside, her eyes lit up: "Sister Bilan, the girl is asking you." ”

When I entered the house, it was warm, and the snow that had just fallen on my head and shoulders melted in the warm room, and it was much colder than before.

There is a faint incense in the room, and through the screen of the landscape, you can see a few looming shadows in the screen, even if you don't see it really, Fu Minghua's elegant posture is still the best.

The inner room is huge, except for the three-step bed in the middle, and the curtains on both sides are usually for Fu Minghua to play the piano, read books or take a bath. When she saw Bilan come in, the two maids with curtains saluted her silently, and there were many people in the room, but they seemed extremely quiet and cold. The blue gaze and the eyes of the little girl sitting in front of the dresser met in the mirror, and the two second-class girls stood on both sides with a plate filled with jade grates and jewelry, and the eldest girl was taking the grate and carefully combing Fu Minghua's long satin-like hair.

At this time, Fu Minghua had already put on his clothes, the blue skirt was layered with silk, and a ribbon under the heart-shaped collar was knotted around the chest, making the girl's slender and immature figure slender. A goose-yellow thick satin shawl was placed on Fu Minghua's shoulders, and his slightly bloated dress in winter showed a sense of dignified and well-behaved.

Bilan cleaned her hands first, and then carefully took the silver crane feather in her hand, watched Yinhong, who combed her hair, tie her hair in a bun, and dug some balm on her hand to get hot, and applied it to her face.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I kept dreaming all night, from the moment she was born by her mother Xie, she never stopped, and it has been nine years now. She can see from her dreams the life of another 'Fu Minghua'.

When she opened her eyes, Bi Lan reached out and helped her up from the chair, Bi Lan stepped forward to drape the big hat for her, and tied the ribbon on the big hat for her: "Girl, the lady has received a letter in the courtyard, the slave has inquired, and there is a letter from Jiangzhou." ”

Bilan is a first-class girl next to Fu Minghua, her identity is not an ordinary slave, but today she was sent out early in the morning, and now she really listens to a useful one. Fu Minghua smiled slightly, she felt that something was wrong a few days ago, her grandmother inexplicably smiled a little more at her mother, but now when she explored, she really heard a little famous, it turned out that her aunt Fu was coming back.

Changle Marquis Fu was originally an old minister who followed the first emperor when he fought the country, he was very favored by the first emperor, after the founding of the country, the first emperor changed the name of the country to Tang, the capital of Luoyang, when the meritorious deeds were rewarded, the Fu family was given the hereditary replacement of the marquis, in Shangjing, when he followed the founding Yuan Emperor, he made great contributions and was finally knighted There are not a few people, but if you can get a hereditary replacement, in addition to the Changle Marquis Mansion, but there is only one Dingguo Mansion Xue family, so this Changle Marquis Mansion is in the Tang Dynasty, It is also a very prominent existence. Although the descendants of the Marquis of Changle are not angry, in just a few decades, the reputation of the Marquis of Changle Mansion in Beijing has been greatly inferior to before, but just a hereditary replacement is enough to make people look sideways. What's more, with the current status of the Marquis of Changle's Mansion, if the descendants are more angry, I am afraid that Emperor Feng may not be at ease today.

Today's Mrs. Changle Hou is Fu Minghua's grandmother Bai, who was originally born in the Pinghou Mansion of Changping in Beijing, and the Changle Hou Mansion was also a good match, both of which were noble families under the canonization of the founding emperor, but they were hereditary for five generations, which was slightly inferior to the Changle Hou Mansion. The Bai family gave birth to three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Fu Qimeng died a few years ago, so the current position of the Hou of Changle fell to Fu Minghua's father Fu Qixian, and the third son was sent to Jiangnan to serve as a judge, leaving only a daughter-in-law by his side to honor his filial piety and wait for his mother. The daughter Fu married into the Ding family of Zhengnanhou Mansion, and went to Jiangzhou with her husband thirteen years ago to take up a post.

"When will my aunt come back?" Fu Minghua tidied up his clothes, and at the same time took the hand warmer handed by the big girl Biqing and hugged it in his arms, and asked with a smile.

Bilan's eyes showed admiration, and she hurriedly followed, four first-class girls surrounded Fu Minghua, eight second-class girls held umbrellas, and held stoves, in case the temperature of the copper hand furnace in Fu Minghua's hand was low halfway, so that they could be added immediately. Bilan bent down slightly, followed Fu Minghua's side closely, and as soon as her voice fell, she hurriedly followed: "I heard that the luggage has been transported here early this morning." ”

As soon as the news was delivered, the luggage had already been delivered, and on the surface, it seemed that Fu Shi had sent a letter back to his parents' house to say hello, but in fact, he had already arrived halfway, and he couldn't say that he was already fast entering Beijing at this time. Fu Minghua suddenly knew what to expect, and he didn't speak anymore.

The reason why Bilan asked Bilan to inquire about this was because the Fu family in the dream also came back at about this time, and it was precisely because of Fu's return that it seemed to throw a small pebble into the Fu family, which changed Fu Minghua's life.

Her mother Xie was born in the Jiangzhou Xie family, since the previous dynasty, the Jiangzhou Xie family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Lianhai Wang family, and the Huainan Yin family have been inherited for many years, and they have taken firm root in the local area. The four surnames are married to each other, and they are almost in a vein, that is, the Tang Dynasty has been established for more than 30 years, although several have been submitted to the court, but in fact, in Jiangzhou, the prestige of the four surnames is far higher than that of the imperial court.

Among the four surnames, very few women marry outside, that is, if the royal family wants to ask for marriage, they must give the marriage as early as possible to get their wish. Xie was originally the second daughter of the Xie family in Jiangzhou, and because of the family, she made an exception to marry into the Changle Marquis Mansion, which also caused a sensation in the New Tang Dynasty at that time. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, many powerful people were rewarded for their meritorious service to the dragon, and the new magnates like this, the families with real background, disdained to marry with them.

Therefore, when Fu Qixian, the second son of the Fu family, was able to marry the Xie family, a girl from a real family, it also caused a great sensation in Luoyang. Many people can't believe that a real family like the Jiangzhou Xie family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, would be willing to marry their daughter into a Hou mansion like the Fu family, which seems to be an upstart family. Fu Qixian, the second son of the Fu family, is not a dragon and phoenix among people, but he is a golden and jade outside, ruined in it, a waste like a straw bag, although the appearance is handsome and chic, but in fact the inside is unbearable, greedy and lustful, needless to say, but he is so ambitious, full of chaff and no ink, saying that he is a straw bag, he really praises him, he only knows how to sleep on a woman's belly all his life, he is really a dou who can't be helped, Zhida is not to say, and he has a short temper. The Xie family is elegant and noble, and he was born in a family, and at that time, this marriage must have been ordered, and everyone was a big bargain for the Fu family.

It's a pity that Xie was not favored after marriage, and gave birth to a daughter a year after marrying into the Fu family, and his belly has not moved since. Being childless and unfavored is really lacking in confidence for a woman, but Xie is born noble in the end, although Fu Qixian doesn't like her, but no one in the Fu family dares to embarrass her, if there is no later return of Fu's family, Xie did not hang himself, I am afraid that the life of 'Fu Minghua' will not end up like that.
