Chapter 1 Turning Point, New Marriage Becomes Substitute Marriage
Ande County, Nanyang Prefecture, Yurui Country, is also regarded as the flower family mansion of the local gentry, and at this moment, the lights are colorful, and the red silk cloth is hung, which is full of joy.
The people of Ande County couldn't help but talk about it, this Hua family was very extravagant this time, and those who didn't know thought it was a married girl, but they didn't think that this was just an orphan girl of the Shen family who lived here to marry on this day.
The reason why it is so extravagant is because this object is a famous family in Nanyang Mansion, not a big family that can be climbed by a small gateway like the Hua family.
In this regard, Ande County has mixed reviews of stroke, and it is lively.
In the green bamboo pavilion of the flower family――
"Sister, you are truly blessed. The brother-in-law was born rich and handsome, and he is the second son of the Nanyang Qin family, the first genius of Nanyang Mansion, and now he has even reached the middle two yuan, if he has even passed the palace test in September this year, it is the champion of the three yuan and the first, and the sister said that she will not get the identity of a lady because of this, and envy others. ”
Put the phoenix crown in his hand on his head for Shen Zhuru, there were only two people in the room, looking at the beautiful bride in the mirror, Hua Yingyue opened her mouth with envy.
"Yingyue, you and I have grown up together since childhood, you treat me well, I keep it in my heart, just waiting for the marriage, after the husband has passed the palace test in September, I will talk to the husband and say, let you also come to serve, not a concubine, and I am the same wife, on an equal footing. I don't know if you want to? ”
Shen Zhuru held Hua Yingyue's hand and asked with a smile in her eyes.
"Yes, how could my sister not want to. Sister, the sedan chair is about to arrive, but it's a pity that the brother-in-law can't come in person because of something temporarily, so the third son can greet the relatives on his behalf, and he can't see the demeanor of his brother-in-law. Sister, anyway, we will still be a family in the future, sister begs you something, let me disguise myself as a maid to accompany you to Nanyang County by boat, let me take a look at my brother-in-law from afar, okay? Hua Yingyue said with longing in her eyes.
Shen Zhuru smiled and nodded.
"The sedan chair is here." The matchmaker called outside to enter the door, glanced at Hua Yingyue, and put on a red hijab for Shen Zhuru.
Hua Bo'an, the son of the flower family, stood at the door, picked up Shen Zhuru and walked out slowly, Hua Yingyue took off her coat, wiped her face, took off her headdress and turned into an inconspicuous little maid and walked out.
The bride got on the sedan chair, knocked and knocked along the way, and the bridal gift with red makeup arrived at the dock and went directly to the flower boat to welcome the relatives.
"Sister, I heard that this ship will take three days to arrive in Nanyang County, these three days, my sister can only stay in the cabin and not go out, I will prepare your favorite lotus seed soup for my sister, can you try it?"
Hua Yingyue ate the lotus seed soup with a smile, and did not forget to exaggerate.
After about a cup of tea.
"Why are you a little dizzy?" Shen Zhuru's body swayed slightly a few times, and she was a little unstable.
"Sister, you must be tired. Go to bed and rest for a while, and you'll be fine. ”
"Oh, there's Sister Lao."
"That's what my sister should do."
Shen Zhuru lay down, and she hadn't woken up yet after it was dark this time.
"This wedding dress is really beautiful."
Hua Yingyue touched the new wedding dress with the same style as Shen Zhuru in her hand, laughed obsessively, took off her coat, put the bright red wedding dress on her body, washed the medicine on her face, restored a white and flawless hibiscus face, and evoked a proud smile in the mirror.
In the dead of night, Shen Zhuru woke up with abdominal cramps, but when she woke up, Hua Yingyue was sitting at the dresser in the same wedding dress as herself, laughing obsessively.
"Sister, does my sister look good in a wedding dress?" Hua Yingyue got up and turned around to show it to Shen Zhuru.
"Ah...... Ah......" The words of reproach became an unconscious monotone, paleing Shen Zhuru's face, how could he not realize that something was wrong.
Why? Why are you doing this to me?
"Sister, I'm really sorry. Although you said that you want me to serve my brother-in-law on an equal footing with you, it's just that, as far as I know, my brother-in-law is a proud person, and he married you because he has a marriage contract, and the identity of the Hua family cannot match the Qin family at all. Although you say it nicely, it is destined that I will not be able to do so. Since my sister has adult beauty, why not fulfill me now. ”
Shen Zhuru's eyes widened, it was an unbelievable gaze.
"Don't look at me like that, I know you want to say that the Qin family has a portrait of you. Sister, you are simple, if you are not sure, how can I do this. The reason why I went to great lengths was just that I didn't want my sister to make a fuss and let the Qin family find out that something was wrong, as early as when the Qin family asked for a portrait, my mother had already swapped the portraits of you and me. ”
Even my aunt was involved, thinking of what Hua Yingyue was going to do, how many people should be involved?
Shen Zhuru only felt that her heart hurt so much, even if she sent someone under the fence, she did her duty, but why did she get this result, the more she thought about it, the more angry Shen Zhuru became, a sweet and angry flame in her throat burned her chest, she couldn't breathe in pain, a blood overflowed from her closed mouth, Shen Zhuru fell on the bed with unwillingness, dressed in red, it was so ironic.
"Sister, dead?" Hua Bo'an knocked on the door and came in, with an extra rope in his hand.
"Dead. Wash the body into the river through the window and don't make any noise. ”
"Don't worry, big brother, you can rest assured."
The sound of rushing water came from outside the window, taking away Shen Zhuru's floating body and drifting down.
Tick Tick Tick ......
Gongs and drums were beating outside Qiyang County, and the suona was blowing, but it was a team of welcoming relatives who stopped through the bamboo forest, and the bride got down from the sedan chair and went to the forest on one side to go to the toilet.
The matchmaker and the wedding party were waiting on the road, but the bride did not return for a long time, and when they had to send someone to look for it, only the bride's wedding dress was found in the bushes, and the person was long gone.
"The bride ran away, look for it, get someone back for me quickly." The matchmaker was so anxious that she shouted, and the palanquin man and the handymen all put down their belongings to look for the bride who had run away, and the bride seemed to disappear out of thin air.
"Come and see, there's a girl here." On the bank of the river, a red figure was hooked by a horizontal trunk of a dead tree, floating and sinking, and was seen by the palanquin man who was looking for the bride, and immediately called someone to come, rescued the person from the water, probed the nose, and breath, but what to do, but you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do with the pestle there.
"What are you doing here, don't find the bride to come back and set off, if you miss the time and offend the Mu family, all of us will not be able to eat and go around." The matchmaker's thin bamboo-like body squeezed in and scolded angrily.
"Matchmaker, although the bride is important, but the place to find has been found, and there is no trace, I'm afraid that the bride ran away that was premeditated, rather than not finding someone to waste time, it is better to save people's lives than to create a seventh-level floating slaughter, it's just that people are saved, but what to do now, we big men have no spectrum in our hearts, matchmaker, you give a trick." The sedan chair man said and looked at the matchmaker with a sincere face.
The matchmaker glanced at everyone, squatted down, looked at the soaking girl, and after taking a closer look, although she didn't look like a country and a city, she could see it, and touched the red clothes that were torn off, obviously the clothes of the bride, and the workmanship was of the highest quality, such a married girl could still survive being washed down by the river, and I didn't know whether to say that she was lucky or unlucky.
Seeing that it was not early, but the bride had not yet been found, the matchmaker rolled her eyes and had an idea.
"The big guy should also know that the Mu family takes a fancy to this family business, and Mrs. Mu is still the county lord of this county, so we can't afford to be guilty. Don't tell the bride about running away. Now even if it is difficult to find a girl who meets the requirements temporarily, I think that since this girl was rescued by us at this moment, it means that her life should not be extinguished, and it is also the will of God, so that she is the best candidate to replace the bride. Everyone's eyes are bright, and they must also see that this girl's dress is also the dress of a bride, and even her body shape is no different from our bride's. According to my meaning, I directly changed her clothes, sent her a sedan chair, and carried it into Mu's house, everyone has no opinion. The matchmaker said and glanced around at everyone.
"Matchmaker, that's not good. What you said at first glance makes sense, but when you think about it, it's a bit far-fetched. In addition, since this girl is dressed in a wedding dress, she may also be the daughter-in-law of another family who is about to enter the door, let's carry her into the Mu family, in case her real husband's family is found, we can't ask for benefits, we can't do this. ”
"Li Er's words are reasonable, you can't just find someone to replace you just because the bride we escorted ran away, or not."
"Zhang San, what you said is not right. This river is surging, a person falls into it, it is so easy to find it, maybe this girl's husband thinks that the bride is dead, we have found another way for her, and it is also for her good. Who doesn't know that the Mu family is a rich and powerful family in our county, except for the fact that the young master of the Mu family is not bright, his appearance is definitely first-class, and he is also a beautiful man. There is no way for many girls to marry, and they still have to Mu Lao Taijun to nod and see the eight characters of their birthdays. Although I don't know why Yingcui's girl doesn't want to put a good glory and wealth, she ran away halfway, and caused us people to suffer, but now it is rare to have a suitable candidate to replace her, and you are so opposed, but it is a little unauthentic. ”
"Why don't I be authentic, she does have a fixed husband, if she wakes up and finds that something is wrong, if she makes a fuss, we will be even more miserable, and I am also for the good of everyone."
"I think you just don't have the guts."
"What do you say......"
"Enough, what you said is reasonable, but you are all negligent, Mrs. Mu is the county lord of this county, and the guests at the banquet are definitely important figures, even if you really know that the bride is not the original one, as long as you worship the hall and become a parent, this person will be determined. The old lady will not allow this ugly matter to be revealed, so that the people of the whole county will laugh at the young master. ”
As soon as the matchmaker said this, all the worries in everyone's hearts were gone.
"Matchmaker, then do what you want." Zhang Sanyi grabbed Li Er's sleeve to stop him from talking nonsense, and hurriedly urged everyone to help carry the person to the sedan chair, let the matchmaker and the maid change clothes, continue to carry the sedan chair, and rushed to Mu's house before Shen Shi.
In the confusion, Shen Zhuru only felt a little weak in her body, only felt that someone was changing her clothes, and there was a sound of suona in her ears, which was very lively, as if she was going somewhere. Although she wanted to know what was going on, her heavy eyelids made her unable to open them at all, so she sat in a sedan chair and carried her to Mu's house in a half-asleep and half-awake way.
