Chapter 1: Entering the House
Gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing out, and there is a rare bustle in front of the Wenfu Gate, which has not been visited for a long time, and even the nearby neighbors can't help but watch and see what is going on.
A wedding sedan chair soon arrived in front of the door, accompanied by the dowry team behind which could not be seen at a glance, this is Wenfu to marry a daughter!
The people talked about it, and since three months ago, after Wen Wuji, the deputy commander of the internal guard, died violently, the Wen Mansion was dispersed all of a sudden. I heard that there was only a twenty-eight-year-old lady left, and she didn't go out all day, could it be that she married today?
The mother-in-law was looking forward to it at the door, but she didn't see the bride coming out, so she simply went in to find it herself.
After the Qingming Dynasty, the courtyard is full of freshness, redbuds, peonies, tulips and poppies are blooming brightly, and the red is full of vision.
A woman in a pink wedding dress stood there, it was the eldest lady of Wenfu, Wendi.
Looking down, I saw a well-trimmed red peony lying quietly at my feet, and I bent down to pick it up.
"You're here again." She smiled a little helplessly and put the flower in her hair, "Thank you for everything you have done for me silently all these years." I love this garden. ”
After she finished speaking, she took two steps forward, looking at the spring color in the courtyard, but her heart was unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Listen." She said aloud to the flowers in the courtyard, "I received your flowers, but you don't have to come again tomorrow!" ”
The wind, blowing, swaying the branches and leaves, seemed to be silently protesting.
"You only hear that I am like a flower,
Flowers bloom and fall not by her.
Today Dao Ming heart,
Since then, we have forgotten each other for two days. ”
Wen Di held back his tears, read these four lines of poetry, and then sniffed lightly: "I'm going to get married, if you understand, go ahead!" ”
The wind is silent, but the leaves fall and the flowers fly.
The red color of the courtyard, swept by the raging tide, actually surrounded her, filling the entire field of vision.
In a trance, she saw the figure she had been looking for but had never seen in the mountains and flowers!
Dreams are broken and flowers fly, and white clothes fall like snow.
Although he couldn't see her face clearly, Wen Di could feel that he was "looking" at her!
You're still going to get married!
Before you think it through, you decide!
In that case, I'll give you a ride......
In an instant, Wen Di actually "saw" and understood.
With the fragrance of this season, she took out the jade flute from her sleeve, put it in front of her mouth, and blew it.
The pavilion is a small spring dream, and the rain is scattered. Ascend across the water. The courtyard of the house is shining in the sunset.
Holding the jade pipe to play sorrowful, holding back tears and groaning. Red tears. I wish you knew my heart.
The song "Endure Tears" conveys the voice of Wen Di's heart, leaving sorrow and hatred, and even the cuckoos in the distant mountains are crying deeply.
The wind gradually stopped, the red rain slowly fell, the flute stopped playing, and the figures in the distance disappeared without a trace.
"That's good. We don't lose each other! There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, which was more delicate than the flower.
Wen Di gently stroked his hair, pulled out the short knife hidden in the jade flute, and the silver flashed, and a few green silks fell.
She tied the handful in her hand with red thread and gently placed it in the courtyard covered with red.
That's how it ended, and that's a good ending.
Behind her, a young man in white with a sword in his hand had been silently watching all this.
He didn't have time to stop it, and he couldn't stop it, maybe everything was doomed from the first time the young lady and the man first met.
The mother-in-law who greeted her searched all the way, and finally found her in the backyard, and just wanted to say a few words of complaint, but was glared back by the young man's cold eyes.
Wen Di just turned around and complained softly to the young man: "Xiao Qi, Xi Po won't tell me when she comes." ”
After speaking, he showed a polite smile to the woman: "There is Lao Xipo waiting for a long time, the hour is not early, let's go on the road." ”
Wendi covered his head and was sent to the sedan chair, blowing and blowing all the way away from the somewhat dilapidated Wenfu. The onlookers seemed to have found a new topic and began to discuss.
"That one just now, it's Miss Wen, right? Why do you wear the wedding dress of a concubine? An aunt carrying a vegetable basket said.
"I heard that this Wenfu also happened suddenly, so this Miss Wen married and became a concubine." A dark-faced uncle next door answered.
"Hey, what's the matter if this concubine is not a concubine?" An aunt next to her pointed to the team that was gradually moving away and said, "Look at these eight sedan chairs and ten miles of red makeup, how big is the pomp?" Presumably the person who married must be good! ”
"Nice? It's not just good, it's just flying on the branches! A slightly chubby woman said loudly, "I just talked to that Xi Po, guess who this Miss Wen is marrying?" ”
The crowd gathered together curiously: "Who?" ”
The woman pursed her lips and said word by word: "Ten, seven, king, lord!" ”
At this time, the streets and alleys can explode: these seventeen princes are born with a good skin, and they are young and promising. He went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen, and at the age of fifteen, he made great achievements in war, and won the emperor's endless favor. It is said that he is also one of the most popular candidates for the crown prince today!
The most important point is: this prince has no concubine, and he likes Na'vi! Many high-ranking officials who befriended him collected some beautiful women from time to time and sent them to him, and he smiled at them all.
Since ancient times, beauties have been matched with heroes, if the girl of which family is favored by him, has the opportunity to sit in the position of the concubine, and will treat him to inherit the unification in the future, wouldn't it be **?
Thinking of this, these people couldn't help but start wondering when their girls would have such good luck and be favored by the prince, even if they were just a concubine, they might be able to mix up with each other in the future.
The gossip of the common people, she couldn't hear the flute, she just sat in the sedan chair, swayed and listened to the blowing and beating all the way, and when the bones were about to fall apart, she finally arrived at the Seventeenth Palace.
Because she was a side concubine, she couldn't enter the house from the main entrance, so the housekeeper who greeted her was only waiting for her at the side door, and when she saw the sedan chair coming, she greeted her.
The maid helped the new concubine down, but the housekeeper stopped Xiao Qi, the young man in white raised his eyebrows, and his star eyes tightened, obviously unconvinced.
"Housekeeper, I heard that the mansion was in decline, and now I have to be accompanied by Xiao Qiyi. He is my personal guard, and like my brother, let him enter with me. Wen Di said through the hijab.
The housekeeper listened to this and heard that the side concubine was pitiful, but she didn't bring a girl, but brought a guard to marry, what is this called?
"Why, could it be that before I entered the door, the butler was going to give me a horse?" Wen Di's voice revealed a hint of cold displeasure.
made the housekeeper wave his hand again and again, and he didn't dare. Think about it, although Wenfu has declined, it used to be valued by the emperor, and the eldest lady of Wenfu entered the palace as a side concubine, and it was understandable to bring a guard, so she agreed.
So, after a small episode, Wendi was connected to the palace.
The side door is obviously not as solemn and majestic as the main entrance, but it shows a little bookish atmosphere, and the corridor is extremely wide and square, and the main entrance can be seen with a slight tilt of the head. On the right side of the mansion is a tall wall, and on the left side is a row and layer of courtyards.
Wen Di had already gone to the hijab at this time, ignoring that the butler was secretly pouting there, she just looked at it carefully.
Beyond the main house is the backyard where the ladies live. The pavilions and pavilions full of courtyards, small bridges and water pavilions, integrate the garden into it, which is chic. It seems that this seventeenth prince is not only good at fighting, but also has good taste.
Soon arrived at the courtyard assigned to her, the housekeeper stopped, more or less admonished, nothing more than something to send someone to find him Yunyun, and briefly introduced the maid and the maid who was in charge of serving, and then turned to leave.
Wen Di raised her eyes to look at the courtyard, and mentioned a plaque called "Art Ink Garden" in regular script in the middle, which was in line with her temperament. Looking at the couplets hanging on both sides, the word art and ink were embedded in it, but I don't know whether it was the ingenuity of the prince or the wonderful idea of the person who built the mansion. The maid pushed open the door, Wen Di raised her feet and entered the courtyard, and the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard made her heart tighten.
I thought I would put it down, but it was still in my heart.
The girl was clever, pulling Wendi around, looking at the couplet on the white jade steps, she only felt when she heard the flute, and her heart moved.
Smelling the wind and dancing, only the peony is the true national color
The sound of the flute is ethereal, and the garden is full of beautiful fragrance
The prince had a heart, and even embedded her name in this couplet.
Xiao Qi saw that she was carrying her feet into the room, and it was inconvenient to follow her, so he stood in the courtyard. This Seventeen Palaces looks good, but he always feels that everything here is too deliberate for the young lady, and I hope it's just that he is nervous.
Wen Di looked at the familiar furnishings in the room, which were completely modeled after the layout of her boudoir! Even with her eyes closed, she knows where things are! The only difference is - the painting hanging on the west wall!
In the pavilion of the distant mountain, a plain-clothed woman playing the flute in the river, although the woman's face could not be seen, she felt that this woman seemed familiar. There is a poem next to it:
The willow wind picks the peach blossoms, and the small boat is not good. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a flute in front of him. Leaning under the window, looking at the horizon.
The eyes are suspicious of the immortals, and the fingers rise and fall smartly. Melodious and graceful into the heart. Looking at it, it seems to be a fairy in a dream.
Although the signature is not signed, it reveals a strong friendship.
Wen Di was slightly startled, this painting, this poem, isn't she talking about herself?
Looking at this familiar room and looking at the picture scroll with a meaning, Wen Di suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a feeling of being stared at from behind spontaneously!
Who's in charge of this game?
She's already stepped in without even realizing it!
The prince, who has never known her all his life, seems to please her, and makes this "Art Ink Garden" full of familiar flavors, but it just inspires her vigilance in her heart!
In the courtyard, it is the flower she loves.
Inside the room, she is familiar with the furnishings.
The calligraphy and paintings on the wall are the scenes where she often plays the flute in the river!
It can be seen between the lines that the other party is even sitting on the boat and looking at her from afar!
Behind this seemingly affectionate confession, does it mean that she has actually been targeted for a long time!
Is the person who decorates this room really the seventeenth prince who has read countless women? Or is it someone else? What is the purpose of doing this?
If you think about this courtyard again, the name of Yimo is embedded in the couplet; The name of the flute she hears is also embedded in the couplet; Does it mean that she and the entire courtyard are under the surveillance of others? She almost felt like an ant crawling into a bottle, exposed to the vision of others, helpless and wandering!
"Master." The girl called to her softly, and made her jerk.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" The girl was puzzled, and a pair of big eyes flickered at her.
"Ah...... It's okay. Wen Di breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to be discovered her thoughts, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "This room ...... The arrangement is very much to my liking, and I really want to thank the prince for his heart. ”
The girl also smiled, and hurriedly nodded and praised their prince.
Wendi didn't want to hear this, she just wanted to be quiet, so she made an excuse and sent the maid away.
Xiao Qi stood outside the door, and when he saw the maid going out, he also felt that something was wrong. He was so relieved that he couldn't listen to the flute, so he took matters into the house on his own initiative. Who knows, just past the screen, suddenly the scalp is numb, a strong wind sweeps, and the person has been fixed there!
