Chapter 1: The Secret Marriage
The cold wind mixed with snow flakes blew in through the cracks in the empty windows, and with a piercing screech, it stirred the green embroidered flowers and grass insects on the bed.
Luo Jinxin woke up from his drowsiness, only to feel that the room was cold to the bone.
The quilt was clumped against her chest, revealing her slender shoulders.
The pink undershirt on his body was wet, sticky and cold.
Just now she had that dream again. In the dream, her father and mother held hands and looked down at her with a smile. But every time she yelled and wanted to hug them, she found that they couldn't reach them, and she couldn't even grasp a corner of her clothes.
Jinxin doesn't know what's going on, why do you always have such sad dreams lately?
Every time she dreamed of it, she would be hoarse and exhausted, and she would be so sad that she couldn't think about it for days.
I only remember that my grandmother used to say that before people die, they will see the deceased, and they will come back to hook the soul.
Jinxin reluctantly supported herself on the back of the bed with her hands, and silently looked at the hidden window: Could it be that she is going to die, and her father and mother will come back to pick her up?
It's a miracle that this body can last until now, she is a superfluous person, one more day to live, but it is just one more day to drag down her grandmother!
Just think about her but she is unwilling, her childhood sweetheart's cousin, why is her heart so ruthless? Didn't she say that she wouldn't marry? How did he decide on his aunt's cousin overnight?
She had never seen that man, and she didn't know how to change her clothes properly, and a man came in the house? Isn't her girl Zizhi guarding outside?
But it was useless to say anything, she ran out of oil and ran out of lamps, waiting to die. The cousin who treated her like a treasure in the past will soon marry his cousin, what else does she have to be nostalgic for?
It's just that she is unwilling, with a reputation for unchastity, and she won't turn a blind eye when she dies!
Since the day of the accident, she has been lying down, and she has been sick in bed for so many days, and her grandmother has not come to see her, and it seems that she has believed the words of those people.
The grandmother who loved her the most and held her in the palm of her hand finally gave her up.
Is bullying her a child without a father?
Jinxin leaned on the back of the bed, a pair of eyes as pure as stars looked out the window fixedly, watching the flying snow fluttering.
Over the years, living in my grandmother's house, eating and drinking them, some people have long looked at her unpleasantly, right?
There was nowhere to tell the sourness in her heart, she could only endure it silently. Although there were tears, there were no tears, and the eyes were only sour and painful, but not a single tear could come out.
thought that at the beginning, she also came with a rich family property, but now, she is alone and empty-handed.
Or is it because his heart is too kind, he gave everything to others, but in the end he ended up in such a miserable end!
There was already a dark shadow outside the window, and snow particles came in from time to time. Jinxin's body was soaked, and when the cold wind blew again, he couldn't help but shiver.
She tried to pull the damp quilt on her body, but found that her body was as weak as a kite with a broken string, and she couldn't use any strength.
She had to desperately shout her big girl Zizhi, "Zizhi, Zizhi......"
Even if you die, you have to change your clothes and die decently.
As soon as he made a little noise, he was choked by the cold wind that poured in through the crack in the window.
She covered her mouth and tore her liver and lungs and coughed, her slender body was like a withered yellow duckweed floating in the water in the cold wind, shaking out of shape.
Zizhi, this girl is really getting more and more careless, on such a cold day, the window doesn't know how to close, do you want to freeze her to death?
She grabbed the placket of her chest and scolded Zizhi, but her body fell down without a fight.
It was like a pile of torn cotton wool in his throat, and he couldn't speak hoarsely.
Seeing the white porcelain pot on the black lacquer inlaid clam table not far in front of the bed, she gasped in vain.
When did she lose the strength to pour a glass of water?
Jinxin's beautiful eyes stared closely at the tent embroidered with flowers and grass insects above her head, and her eyes gradually dimmed.
The door creaked, and there seemed to be almost inaudible footsteps.
Jinxin turned his face and looked at the doorway of the inner room. The soft silk curtain with silver and red flowers was raised high, and a plump figure stepped into the inner room.
Not Zizhi!
Through the gauze tent, the moment he saw that figure, Jinxin was a little disappointed.
There was no lamp in the room, and only the silhouette of the man could be seen vaguely. Step by step, the man slowly walked to the side of the bed.
Jinxin's heart was also raised, what is she doing at this time?
My cousin is getting married tonight, and she's not busy with it, so how can she still have time to come and see her?
Su Riri, doesn't she hate her very much?
The man walked over to the bed, stood still, and stood still for a moment.
Suddenly, she rudely tore open the veil for embroidering flowers and grass insects. The force was too great, and the gauze tent was torn off and slid to the ground.
Jin Xin finally couldn't hold back her cough, and a pair of beautiful eyes quietly faced the person next to the bed.
"The big girl dares to be awake." A slightly acerbic woman asked with a grin.
Jinxin looked at her for a moment without saying a word, and then looked away.
She's all like this, is she here to see the joke?
The gauze tent slipped down, and the cold wind became more and more raging, blowing mercilessly towards the already sweaty body, and Jinxin couldn't help but cough again. Because of the cough, there was a hint of itch in her sore throat, which scratched her heart and lungs, making her cough non-stop, shrinking back, unable to speak.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, why is the eldest girl so sick?" The woman stepped forward and patted Jinxin's back gently, an intimate gesture that made Jinxin's body tremble.
The woman seemed to notice it, slowly withdrew her hand, and stood up straight with her sleeves folded, her face calm and unwavering, but there was a flash of fierceness in her eyes.
"The eldest girl has been coughing for a long time, I'm afraid I'm also thirsty, right? The poor one doesn't even have a girl around, so let my aunt and I serve you for a while. β
Jinxin didn't say anything, this woman was her aunt Lu. Treat her on weekdays is not salty or light, although she doesn't show it, but Jinxin can also feel that Lu has always disliked her.
Lu Shi walked to the table, touched the white porcelain pot and shook it, and chuckled, "The tea is not hot, the girl will take a sip." β
As he spoke, he walked over with a teacup.
She held Luo Jinxin's neck with one hand, and poured it into her mouth with the other, "I forgot to tell Miss SΓΉ, Zizhi's girl was borrowed by me, and you also know that your cousin is married, and there are not enough people in the house!" β
Jinxin was very thirsty, so she took her hand, regardless of the cold, and poured a few sips. When I heard that, I didn't seem to have any waves.
Lu's eyes rolled, and his face turned blue. Seeing that the water in the teacup was drunk by Jinxin, she withdrew her hand in hatred, and Jinxin fell to the pillow at once.
Lu condescendingly looked at the woman on the bed who was as pale as a candle in the wind, playing with the tea cup in his hand with a face like frost, and the two thin lips were together, and the ruthless words flowed out.
"Didn't the girl think it was strange? In the past few days, the girls around you have disappeared, and no one has brought you tea and water? β
How can Jinxin not know this? It's just that she is sick and can't move, and her aunt is in charge of this house, what can she do?
It still didn't arouse Jinxin's anger!
Lu stared at the weak woman lying down, and her eyes were pierced by her beautiful face, and she felt the urge to scratch her with her long nails.
This face is so much like that slut, even more beautiful than that slut, it arouses her endless jealousy and hatred!
If it weren't for that slut, would she have been able to marry such an idiot as Andu?
The person she likes is Luo Youtian, who was a high school tanhualang, snow-clothed and black-haired, handsome, and confused many women in Kyoto.
She is one of them, she only hates that her father and brother's official position is not high, and her sweetheart was snatched away by An Min's slut.
But what made her very happy was that after An Min's slut gave birth to a daughter, she was not in good health and died within a few years.
At that time, she was secretly happy that Luo Youtian was hers again.
What is hateful is that even if An Min is dead, Luo Youtian has never looked at her when he came to An Mansion. Later, he also fell ill and passed away less than a year after An Min's death.
Everyone in Kyoto has a legend that Luo Youtian and An Min are deeply in love, and the two of them go hand in hand, which can be regarded as a good story.
It's a pity that the baby girl who was still in swaddling clothes had no father or mother, so she had to live in her grandmother's house.
When Lu Shi heard such words, his heart was like a knife, why did they think so?
An Min is a fox, except for a good skin, she is a big lady who is ignorant of the world, where is like her, she likes Luo Youtian with all her heart?
How could Luo Youtian die for her? He must have an incurable disease.
It must be like this, how could a dashing and dignified person like him die for a fox?
Thinking of this, Lu Shi's body was a little unable to stand, trembling slightly, and his legs were as soft as mud.
The faint light of snow outside reflected her distorted and hideous face through the window, as terrifying as a yaksha in the dark night.
Luo Jinxin couldn't help but shudder, and his aunt's eyes showed a fierce light, I was afraid that the person who came was not good!
She wanted to call someone, but the Lu family in front of her made her chill in her heart, and she didn't know if she would behave out of the ordinary.
But her mouth was open, but she didn't make a sound. Although his throat was sore and itchy, he could still make a sound.
What's going on?
Jinxin was taken aback, but she was a seven-trick exquisite heart, and she only cast her eyes firmly on the white porcelain teacup in Lu's hand.
My aunt is murderous tonight, could it be that she did it secretly?
Lu Shi couldn't see anything that made her happy from that beautiful face, and couldn't help but feel a little impetuous, but finally couldn't help but take a step forward, lean down, and smile gloomily.
"Big girl, are you speechless? Sue you, you are calm, and I am not stupid. When the sedan chair comes, you will have to marry in a beautiful way, so that outsiders will say that our Anfu has treated you as an orphan girl! β
Get married? Who to marry?
Jinxin was taken aback, when did she set a kiss? With such a reputation on her back, can she still get married?
Is my grandmother afraid that she will drag down the house, so she will choose someone for her and kick her out?
With a sour heart, she stared at Lu Shi deadly.
In this house, the Lu family covers the sky with one hand, and in the final analysis, it is the grandmother who doesn't care about her. In the past, the Lu family didn't like her anymore, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.
The taste of being betrayed by his relatives was very uncomfortable, Jinxin silently swallowed the bitterness in his heart, and glared at Lu unwillingly.
"What? Shouldn't the big girl be happy? With such a beautiful appearance and such a full of talent, my aunt will not wronged you. Tell you about it, so that you will be happy. β
Jinxin's ethereal eyes widened, and she watched as Lu's round face covered with a thick layer of powder leaned down, almost touching her face.
"This family is set by all the ladies in Beijing who want to drill into it after sharpening their heads, who knows that you will be cheaper in the end."
Jinxin doesn't know who the Lu family is talking about, she is an ominous person who is already a ruined flower in the eyes of outsiders, and can she marry all the ladies who want to drill into it with their heads sharpened?
Auntie, this is a fool's dream, right?
"Have you heard of King Heng?" Lu Shi straightened up, clasped his hands, and smiled smugly, waiting to see what Luo Jinxin would look like after his gaffe.
Luo Jinxin chuckled in his heart, and his heart skipped a beat.
I knew that my aunt wouldn't be so kind, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless!
Lin Jue, the son of King Heng, died before he was weak, and it has been a few days.
When Lin Jue was alive, he was indeed the dream lover of all the ladies in Kyoto, with the posture of heaven and man, amazing talent, luxurious and cold, and even more famous, a young upstart.
Although his sister is the crown princess, Lin Jue does not rely on it.
Although there are many beauties in the prince's backyard, the princess has always been pampered, in addition to her noble birth, her brother's military exploits are even more indispensable.
Who knew that such a once-in-a-century person would die at a young age.
He's dead, and he has nothing to do with her.
Unexpectedly, my aunt hated her so much that she let her marry a dead man!
Jinxin's calm face finally made waves, and he glared at Lu Shi angrily.
Why, exactly? She is just an orphan girl whose parents have died, even if she lives here, she has a family property by her side, and she can't get in the way of the Lu family.
What's more, although her cousin likes her, isn't she still at the mercy of her aunt after all, and she has decided to be the daughter of her aunt's family?
She really couldn't figure out why the Lu family hated her like this.
"Why is the big girl not happy? Uncle is really good for you, think about it, with a reputation like yours, no one wants it in a serious way, let alone the prince of Hengwang? If he hadn't died, wouldn't it have been your turn? β
Lu Shi crossed his arms and said with a grin, like a cat looking at a mouse, satisfied.
The daughter of a cheap life is also a cheap race, how can she be worthy of her words?
She couldn't help An Min's slut, watching her and Luo Youtian love me and you, it was like a thorn in her heart, which made her live a painful life.
This little slut fell into her hands, she couldn't let it go lightly, she wanted to make peace under An Min Jiuquan, who had been dead for many years!
Looking at Lu's hideous and terrifying face, Luo Jinxin was cold from head to foot!
This woman is so terrible that she is crazy, and now there is no one around!
It's been a long time since she thought about it, and she was at the mercy of the people around her, and she came to deal with her again!
What about my grandmother? Even if you believe in the events of that day, is it possible that the love of grandparents and grandchildren for many years will be gone? Why can't you come and see her?
Even if it's a marriage with a dead person, my grandmother should know about such a big thing? Does her old man hate her so much that he hates her and never sees her again?
His eyes were sour again, and Luo Jinxin couldn't calm down after all.
Lu Shi looked at this scene with satisfaction, and laughed sharply, "Don't count on the old lady, today is your cousin's big day, the old lady is waiting for your cousin to lead her granddaughter-in-law to kowtow to her, I heard that you are dying, how can you come to you to be unlucky?" β
No, it must not be like that. How could the grandmother who held her in the palm of her hand be so ruthless?
The cold wind was raging outside the window, and the house was as cold as an ice cellar, and there was not even a charcoal brazier.
After a few days like this, he was as smart as Jinxin, and he already knew his situation. It's just that she didn't give up, thinking that her grandmother was just a momentary anger, but in the end, the cruel reality still made her die after all.
The body is as cold as ice, and the heart is like ashes.
Luo Jinxin's bent on seeking death finally pleased the Lu family.
She took a step back, admiring the scene before her.
Years of heartache were finally relieved, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know how long the snow had been falling outside, and there was already a creaking sound when I stepped on the ground. A mother-in-law shouted softly through the door: "Madam, the palanquin of King Heng's Mansion has arrived." β
"Hehe, arrived? That's fast! Lu chuckled, clapped his hands, and two tall mothers-in-law came in from outside the door, bowing their hands and obeying orders.
"Put on a wedding dress for the big girl, and dress her up on a big day!" Lu gritted his teeth and smiled and ordered, and went to wait outside.
Luo Jinxin was dragged from the bed like a puppet by two mothers-in-law, unconsciously at the mercy of others.
His face was smeared with a thick portion, his lips were smeared with red rouge, and the wedding clothes on his body were so red that they could drip blood.
Looking at the outfit that looked like a female ghost in the mirror, Luo Jinxin smiled miserably.
I didn't expect to live so unsuccessfully and die so miserably!
Within a moment's effort, she was stopped by the two mothers-in-law's makeup.
Lu Shi came in, took a look, nodded, stepped forward and hooked her slender chin, and sighed twice, "This little appearance is really rare in the world, and the prince of Hengwang is blessed." When I get over there, I love you and the prince of Hengwang, I think you must know it from your mother's spring, and you should be grateful to me! β
Luo Jinxin listened indifferently, except for a pair of eyes that seemed to be about to erupt fire, the rest of her body couldn't move, so she had to let her mother-in-law put her out and stuff her into a sedan chair carried by eight people.
The cold wind is howling and the snowflakes are dancing wildly, but they are not as cold as a dying heart.
The firecrackers and drums could be clearly heard in his ears, Luo Jinxin's good-looking lips pursed, and a miserable smile overflowed the corners of his lips.
That's not hers.
Tonight, it's my cousin's big day, and the main entrance is bustling!
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the yard is full of red lanterns, reflecting the rainbow shadows in the white snow.
The wind blew and lifted the corner of the sedan curtain.
At the main entrance not far away, a person was tall, with black hair tied up, a big red brocade robe and a black jade belt, and a red silk in his hand, leading a woman who was also wearing a big red wedding dress behind him.
Jinxin suddenly felt a sharp pain in her eyes, as if a warm liquid had slipped down.
I couldn't shed tears for a long time, why did I shed it today? Is she too sad?
Jinxin licked a tear at the corner of her lips, fishy sweet!
One of her hearts also stagnated, and she shed blood and tears!
She really wanted to jump off the sedan chair and ask that person, why did she go back on her word and trample her true heart in the dust?
It's just that she can't move, can't speak, so she has to suppress her resentment and unwillingness.
Looking at the back of the long corridor covered with red carpets, Luo Jinxin suddenly lost his fighting spirit.
At this point, there is no point in blaming anyone.
Whether it's my grandmother or my cousin, I'm going to leave them......
The cold cemetery, the snow-white flags, and the cries of grief all floated by like a gust of wind.
Luo Jinxin was numbly covered with a big red hijab, put out of the sedan chair, and carried into a good Nanmu coffin, with the prince of Heng Wang lying beside him, who was dressed in silver armor.
Her head could not turn, and as she fell, she glanced at the dead man out of the corner of her eye.
The face is like a pearl and jade, and the finely carved facial features are as bright as a pearl, and they shine brightly!
Even if you die for many days, your style is still unique! Not to mention when he was alive.
Hehe, that's the only way to be in the same hole with him, right?
Fate really played a big joke on her!
The dull lid of the coffin above his head slowly closed, and the rumbling sound of the stone door pushing in his ears sounded.
Luo Jinxin slowly closed his tired eyes!
She knew that the coffin was closed.
The aunt who killed her to death is still so virtuous and virtuous in the eyes of outsiders, and even the dead niece has been given such a good yin parent.
And she, an orphan girl, accompanied by a cold male corpse, couldn't last a few days.
Luo Jinxin only hopes that he will not be reincarnated in a rich family in the next life, even if he is poor, as long as he is happy for a lifetime.
