Chapter 127: Concubine?
Jiang Mi slept until noon before gradually waking up.
She first opened her eyes in a daze, and after fanning her long eyelashes, Jiang Mi looked at the scorching sunlight shining in through the screen window and was stunned for a while, and in a blink of an eye she remembered that last night was her wedding.
Quickly, Jiang Mi turned his head to look.
The large dark carved bed, the bright red quilt, and the empty and cold pillow.
Jiang Mi sat up, she helped her forehead, last night was her big day, but why didn't she remember what happened later?
The maidservant outside heard the noise in the room and called respectfully outside the door: "Young lady, are you awake?" Jiang Mi hurriedly responded: "Wake up." ā
A few handmaidens carried basins of water, and those who took their clothes swam in.
Looking at them, Jiang Mi asked, "What about Cui Lang?" ā
The maidservant who was a little longer than a year replied: "If you go back to the young lady, the son is not in the house." ā
Absence?
Jiang Mi frowned and washed and changed under their attendants.
After Jiang Mi put on a new makeup, the maids retreated, the door opened again, and the three mothers walked in.
Seeing Jiang Mi dressed as a bride, the three mothers were happy and moved. They surrounded Jiang Mi, one ripped her hair and recombed it, and the other asked, "Princess, was my uncle kind to you last night?" ā
Last night? Jiang Mi didn't have any impression of what happened last night. She paused for a moment, then obediently said, "It's good." ā
Mother Gong smiled, and she said proudly: "Uncle is very good to the princess. Speaking of this, she said with a smile: "The princess is now married, and the heart of the old slave has finally been settled." It's still this Boling Cui clan that makes people confident, last night's big fighting sound, the old slave didn't panic at all when he heard it. ā
Jiang Mi was stunned. Hurriedly asked, "The sound of fighting?" ā
The three mothers looked at her strangely, and Mother Gui took the lead in laughing: "That voice lasted for most of the night, the murderous aura was deafening, and the people in the entire Mingzhou City were not asleep, why didn't the princess know at all?" As she spoke, she snickered meaningfully as she thought of something.
It's not just Gui's mother who is smiling. The other two moms laughed too. A mother also brushed Jiang Mi's hair and looked at the back of her neck. Seeing that the back of her neck was clean, the mother was slightly stunned and then laughed again.
The sound of fighting that lasted for most of the night? Jiang Mi thought for a while but to no avail, so he pressed his thoughts. Anyway, now she is the wife of the Cui family. When the sky fell, Cui Zixuan was also in the way.
While helping Jiang Mi, the three mothers were still talking, "It was said that my uncle was out." After the princess collapsed, she met the elders, and the uncle couldn't go together? ā
Another mother laughed and said, "How can a bride sleep so late?" Looking at the posture of my uncle's favorite princess, I know that he must have explained to his family. She turned to Jiang Mi. Jian yƬ said: "But the princess still has to go and meet." ā
Jiang Mi nodded.
So, surrounded by three mothers. Jiang Mi came out of the new house. Outside the new house, there were two rows of ten handmaidens with beautiful faces and noble temperaments, and when they saw Jiang Mi coming out, they bowed in unison. One by one, they followed behind Jiang Mi.
In this way, Jiang Mi walked towards Mrs. Cui's attic surrounded by a group of people.
In this Cui family's old mansion, only Mrs. Cui's grandmother sits. The rest of the uncles and aunts listened to Cui Zixuan's meaning, and they were all very busy. I don't live here very often. Therefore, Jiang Mi's visit to her aunt the next day only needs to meet Mrs. Cui.
When Jiang Mi arrived, Mrs. Cui was sitting on the main couch, and her head was Cui Ziying. I don't know what Cui Ziying said, Mrs. Cui looked worried.
Seeing Jiang Mi, who was dressed as a bride with a shy face, came alone, Mrs. Cui did not show a surprised expression, she reached out to support Jiang Mi when she bowed down and saluted. After patting Jiang Mi's hand and letting her sit on the couch next to her, Mrs. Cui said in a hoarse voice: "Child, the world says that you are blessed. Grandmother loved that. ā
Jiang Mi didn't quite understand what she meant, but she didn't dare to ask, so she lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you, grandmother." ā
Old Madam Cui patted the back of her hand again, and asked in a dumb voice: "Zixuan has been coming and going in the wind and rain all these years, when you go to the family ancestral hall, remember to pray for him." ā
Didn't even go to the family ancestral hall with Cui Zixuan? Jiang Mi wondered in her heart, but she still responded obediently: "Yes." ā
The grandparents and grandchildren said a few more words, and Mrs. Cui stood up, and she took Jiang Mi and the troubled Cui Ziying to the Cui ancestral hall.
After asking an old man to open the Cui family tree and write Jiang Mi's name under Cui Zixuan's name, Mrs. Cui urged Jiang Mi to go to the ancestors and ancestors to pray for Cui Zixuan's health in his life.
Old Madam Cui's will is also Jiang Mi's will, although she doesn't quite understand what Old Madam Cui means, she still honestly knelt in front of the tablet of the ancestors and ancestors, and prayed intently.
After returning from the ancestral hall, Jiang Mi waited until dusk and didn't see Cui Zixuan.
Jiang Mi thought about Mrs. Cui's strange request, and Cui Ziying's heart was heavy, and her heart was glorified.
Jiang Mi quickly stood up and called outside: "Someone! ā
ā¦ā¦
On this side, Jiang Mi was asking people about Cui Zixuan's whereabouts, and Mrs. Cui's wing was broken by a rush of footsteps.
Hearing the footsteps, Mrs. Cui and Cui Ziying quickly stood up. At this time, the Cui clan people in the old lady Cui's room were crowded into a room, and they all quickly stood up!
In the blink of an eye, a guard rushed in. Seeing Mrs. Cui, he bowed on one knee and said loudly: "Old lady, it's done!" ā
Almost as soon as the three words "it's done" came out, the Cui clan people in the room were all smiling. Old Madam Cui patted her chest again and again, her face was radiant, and she urged urgently: "What is the specific situation, hurry up and listen?" ā
The guard Lang replied and said, "Back to the old lady's words, the villain doesn't know the specific situation. The villain only knows that the Later Zhou Emperor Guo Wei has died, and the Southern Tang Dynasty has also lost two generals, and Xiao Maha, who is said to be a military genius in the Southern Tang Dynasty, was seriously injured and is now missing! ā
Almost as soon as the guard said the words "Emperor Guo Wei of the Later Zhou Dynasty is dead", all the Cui clansmen in the room burst into tears of joy. Old Madam Cui stood there tremblingly, she grabbed Cui Ziying's hand, and said in a loud voice, "Did you hear that?" Guo Wei is dead. Guo Wei is dead! ā
Cui Ziying is too young to understand what Guo Wei means when he dies, she just followed her grandmother and smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows.
At this time, an old man with white hair spoke, and he shouted excitedly: "Xuan'er has changed the pattern of the world with the power of one person, and after this battle, he will be famous and shocking the world!" Now my Cui clan is scattered, and there is a period of revitalization! ā
Cui Ziying was still confused.
In the wings. The elders are so excited. They get together and talk about it one by one. The more Cui Ziying listened, the more she didn't understand, so she simply walked out.
Seeing the guard standing outside the door, Cui Ziying beckoned. Motioned for him to come closer. Standing in the shade of a tree, Cui Ziying asked in a low voice, "What's the big deal about Guo Wei dead?" Tell me about it! ā
The guard was qualified to convey such a major matter to the elders of the clan, and he was a capable cadre by Cui Zixuan's side, and he was also a knowledgeable person. He explained Cui Ziying's confusion in a few words.
Originally. Cui Zixuan has traveled around the world for many years, and he doesn't care. Even those geniuses with outstanding intelligence in the five surnames and seven sects all believe that if any emperor can dominate the world and create a new prosperous era, it must be Chai Rong, the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty!
Thereupon. According to the plan, Cui Zixuan used the big wedding as an excuse and a dowry as a reason. The astonishing wealth of the Bolingtri clan attracted a group of shark crocodiles. Like the Later Zhou Emperor Guo Wei, the emperor who had just been founded. It is because of the emptiness of national strength and anxiety. He, who originally hated the family gatekeeper, heard that a son-in-law of the Boling Cui clan had taken out such a large sum of property when he married his wife, and he was immediately moved and followed to Mingzhou with soldiers and horses.
At the same time, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was also excited. The reason why the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty were so excited was not only because Cui Zixuan gave Jiang Mi the dowry, but also because Cui Zixuan once took out a gold mine to exchange Jiang Mi with them...... With such a lot of money, who wouldn't be tempted to fight a war at such a time when there is a permanent shortage of money?
What's more, everyone in the world knows that the so-called five surnames and seven sects are now the end of the strong crossbow.
So, those people flocked to Mingzhou, ready to loot the Boling Cui clan when Cui Zixuan was immersed in the joy of the wedding!
Those people did a good calculation, but they didn't expect that Cui Zixuan was deliberate, and when he publicized everywhere that the pomp and circumstance of marrying the Jiang family was all his hole cards, the trap to lure Jun into the urn had already been arranged.
Mingzhou is Cui Zixuan's home field, and he has already planned it. Naturally, those people were fooled.
Now, Cui Zixuan has killed Guo Wei, and Chai Rong, who has been prepared, should immediately become the emperor of the Later Zhou. Hou Zhou is located in the Central Plains, and Chai Rong is a genius, and in a few years, he will become the lord of the world. With Chai Rong's promise, the Boling Cui clan will be able to prosper for another two or three hundred years!
Moreover, in this battle, Cui Zixuan also killed several generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the most powerful country today, because he was too familiar with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and this time he targeted the military geniuses of the Southern Tang Dynasty. I think that after this battle, the national strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty will soon weaken. After the Southern Tang Dynasty was weakened, Zhou rose up, but was it the First World War that changed the pattern of the world?
The fact of this battle was too much of an impact, and soon, the entire people of Mingzhou City knew about it.
When everyone in the city was talking about it, the news also reached Jiang Mi's ears, and she didn't know until now that Cui Zixuan's outing was this kind of outing!
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Until this time, Cui Zixuan had not returned home. However, the news that he was safe had already come back, and Jiang Mi was not worried.
Jiang Mi was left out in the cold when she was newly married, and Mrs. Cui was kind-hearted, so she allowed Jiang Mi to go outside when she had nothing to do.
In fact, Jiang Mi couldn't wait to go outside, what happened in Cui Zixuan's battle, she asked the people in the house if she didn't know, I heard that there was a storyteller in the restaurant outside who was talking about this battle, Jiang Mi wanted to hear it.
So, on the afternoon of the third day, the day when Jiang Mi should return to the door, she took her three mothers and walked straight to the restaurant where she could tell stories.
Jiang Mi came early, and the storyteller hadn't arrived yet. Jiang Mi found a side room and sat down, waiting quietly.
Jiang Mi sat for less than a moment, and there was a commotion outside, but a few more female dependents of powerful families came over.
Jiang Mi's door was open, and she saw at a glance that the lady who walked in front was a little familiar, yes, yes, isn't she the girl from the Taiyuan Wang family who said that her dowry was one hundred and eight?
Just when Jiang Mi looked at it, the girl also recognized Jiang Mi.
Slightly stunned, the girl walked towards Jiang Mi.
When she came to Jiang Mi, the girl blessed her, and said in a delicate voice: "My sister Wang Yu has seen my sister." My sister is here to inquire about Lang Jun's news, right? ā
Jiang Mi was stunned.
The three mothers were also stunned.
After a while, Jiang Mi squeezed out a reluctant smile, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea to calm her flustered heart, and asked in a dumb voice, "You, what are you doing to call my sister?" ā
Wang Yu smiled shyly.
When she lowered her head timidly, a maidservant standing behind Wang Yu saluted Jiang Mi and said without arrogance or humility: "Back to the words of the young lady." My girl also made a marriage contract with Cui Zixuan and Cui Gongzi, and she will get started in three months! ā
Jiang Mi stood up suddenly!
Her face was too pale. Jiang Mi stared at Wang Yu and the maidservant who spoke, and after a while, she said hoarsely: "How come I don't know about this matter?" ā
Seeing Jiang Mi so out of shape, Wang Yu frowned slightly, and she glanced back. At that moment, several maidservants took a step towards Jiang Mi, blocking the eyes of outsiders.
Wang Yu turned her head and explained to Jiang Mi in a soft voice: "Sister doesn't know, for so many years, the five surnames and seven sects have always been married to each other," after a slight pause, she added, "I don't care about his surname!" ā
Wang Yu paused for a moment, letting Jiang Mi savor her words, and continued to explain softly: "But now is a troubled time, and many of the rules of the ancestors can only be put aside. The concubine is the concubine of the Taiyuan Wang family, and she is not worthy of being Cui Lang's wife, so she is married to her sister. ā
As soon as Wang Yu's voice fell, the maid standing behind her glanced at Jiang Mi contemptuously, and couldn't help but say, "It's not just our girls who marry Cui Zixuan and Cui Gongzi. This time, among the seven sects with five surnames, the other six sects will marry a concubine to marry Cui Lang. In three months, there will be six noble daughters of the gate valve family who will call the young lady as their sister! ā
This servant girl's words are not without mockery!
But Jiang Mi didn't listen at all. Not only did she not listen, her ears were still buzzing, and her eyes were cloudy. Jiang Mi looked at the people in front of him, watching their mouths open and close, close and open.
In a trance, Jiang Mi swallowed a mouthful of fishy breath that rushed to his throat, and said with a white face and trembling voice: "I want to ask Cui Zixuan!" As soon as the voice fell, she stumbled out and walked away, and the three mothers hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and half-carried her out of the restaurant. (To be continued.) )
