Chapter 145: The Burning Years
However, things in the world often do not develop with people's subjective wishes, when the twenty-one-year-old Nie Tingyin married into the Yi family and became the twentieth concubine of the seventy-three-year-old Yiming Xuanyi, she found that the wisdom of her "old husband" was far beyond her imagination, and he married himself purely for the sake of romance, as for other things, he didn't talk to himself at all, and he didn't listen to what he said.
Gradually, Nie Tingyin realized that the purpose of marrying into the Yi family, that is, using Yi Mingxuan's influence on the emperor to avenge his family, seemed to be difficult to achieve.
Although he was very disappointed in his "old minister", but Nie Tingyin, who still did not give up, continued his revenge career, in order to improve his status in the heart of the "old minister", in order to achieve the purpose of influencing his behavior, Nie Tingyin, who was already very smart, began to study Go chess as she liked, and in less than two years, she became a successful learner and became the only character in the entire Yi family, the only person who can play a little against the "chess fairy" Yi Mingxuan.
With the improvement of Nie Tingyin's chess skills, her status in Yi Mingxuan's heart has really risen, and just when Nie Tingyin felt that her control over her "old husband" was enough for him to avenge herself, a piece of news that was almost devastating to Nie Tingyin reached her ears.
The devastating news is that Zhu Mian has been promoted, and he has been promoted quite high, he is a second-rank high-ranking official at the level of deputy prime minister who is fully responsible for the "Huashi Gang", and his official position is one level higher than the third-grade high-ranking official that Nie Tingyin's "old minister" Yi Mingxuan once did.
Subsequently, Zhu Mian continued to have "outstanding performance" on the "Huashi Gang", and soon, he was promoted again, and he had a knighthood, this time, he completely became a "super celebrity" around the emperor, and at this time, Zhu Mian, not to mention Yi Mingxuan, did not dare to touch him, even his former "mentor" Cai Jing Cai was a traitor, and he had to slap him.
After getting the news of Zhu Mian's steady progress, Nie Tingyin's heart was completely collapsed, thinking that at the beginning, she married an old man as a concubine for revenge, and now, not only does her revenge have no hope of revenge, but her old husband looks like she is about to kick her legs, she has practiced "stealing chickens and eating rice" in recent years, which is really ......
At this time, for Nie Tingyin herself, her life is meaningless, however, she has already experienced all the "miserable", and her tragic fate continues.
Because Yi Mingxuan, the old brother, is too lustful, so, after he married Nie Tingyin, he really sacrificed his life to "keep cultivating" on his little concubine, you know, at this time, Yi Mingxuan, but he is in his seventies and about to be eighty years old, he is not a young man in his twenties and thirties, he can recover quickly after tossing, and his blind tossing has directly led to various illnesses.
What's more important to know is that in addition to Nie Tingyin and the dead woman, the old man Yiming Xuanyi, but there are also nineteen living ladies, and those nineteen ladies have all given birth to heirs for the old man Yi, according to the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty's mother to pay attention to the son, the status of the nineteen ladies in the Yi family is far more than that of Nie Tingyin, who has never laid an egg.
Therefore, when the old man Yi tossed himself on Nie Tingyin's body and was about to burp his fart, the public opinion within the Yi family began to focus on Nie Tingyin, because of her own status, Nie Tingyin couldn't resist, and gradually, her "living environment" in the Yi family became extremely bad.
Her situation at that time can be described in this way, once Yi Mingxuan suddenly burps and farts one day, then she will definitely have to "accompany the funeral", as for what kind of "funeral" it is, it depends on the degree of resentment of other wives towards her.
In the fourth year of Nie Tingyin's marriage into the Yi family, that is, when she was twenty-five years old, the seventy-six-year-old "chess fairy" Yiming Xuanyi old man could be regarded as sinking to the bottom and lost the ability to "toss", so he could only lie on the bed and gasp his breath.
In that year, an old friend of the old man came to him to reminisce about the past, and the old man's friend was ten years older than him, and he should be in his eighties and almost ninety years old, but that person looked like he was forty or fifty years old, and he was also very energetic, and he didn't feel like he was in his old age at all.
Later, the old man's friend, after seeing the old man's loss of self-care ability, his mood, from sadness to sympathy, finally, his sympathy overflowed, before he left the Yi family, he secretly told the old man Yi, the reason why he can be so "immortal", because, he visited Mount Emei in his early years, met a Taoist temple on the mountain, and worshiped a real person in the temple as a teacher, practicing the art of immortality, over time......
After listening to the words of his old friend, the old man Yi, who was already waiting for death, once again had the hope of survival in his eyes.
Unable to resist the three requests of the old man, the old man's friend finally agreed to introduce him to his master, so in this year, the old man Yi, who was no longer able to walk on the ground, with the help of the servants, "lay" towards Shu to seek the art of immortality.
When the old man set off, he only brought one of his own ladies, she is Nie Tingyin, the reason why the old man only took Nie Tingyin is understandable, after all, only Nie Tingyin, the lady, can not only satisfy the old man's desire to "toss blindly", but also play chess with him to satisfy his leisure, and even, can talk about a little song to please him, which is what his other wives can't do.
When the team of the "Western Expedition" arrived here in Guozhou, the old man Yi, who was carried up the mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery around the Boundless Peak, recruited his last lover in his life, Nie Tingyin, to the front.
In Nie Tingyin's surprised gaze, Old Man Yi gave her a letter of resignation, and told her: I can't do it anymore, this time I go to the mountain, I may not be able to go back, you take this letter of resignation and remarry, don't worry, if I can still come out alive, I will go to you, if you are not married at that time, then let's continue to live......
So, after giving Nie Tingyin a letter of resignation, buying her a small courtyard, and giving her almost all the money he brought, the old man Yiming Xuanyi, who almost "left the house", set off again.
The small courtyard that Old Man Yi left for Nie Tingyin is the private prostitution hall where Lu Yu is staying now, and the reason why she has been staying in this courtyard is that she is waiting for her father-in-law to come back, and so far, she has been waiting for three years, but ......
