Chapter 1: Preface (II)
Three.
Although the fire in the Prime Minister's Mansion was not serious, it angered my father, and after a burst of thunderous punishment, the Prime Minister's Mansion gradually regained its calm. One day, it happened to be the day when my father rested, and I didn't have to go to school, so I slept until three o'clock before I got up, and remembered that I had to say good morning to my father every day, so I freshened up and took the little girl autumn tea to my father's study.
Walking to the door of the study, I asked Qiu Ming to listen to my father's mood first, and then go in to report, Qiu Ming listened close for a while, and immediately stepped back to my ear and said: "Little Ninth Master, it seems that something is being discussed inside, and it is inconvenient for you to go in." ”
As soon as I heard that it was talking about things that I was not comfortable listening to, I became excited and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
"It seems to be talking about the marriage of the third master." Qiu Ming said truthfully.
"Marriage? My third brother? I was surprised and delighted, "Are you telling my third brother and Sun Yuji to kiss?" ”
Qiu Ming shook her head with an embarrassed face: "It doesn't seem to be Miss Sun sitting inside." ”
I was surprised, and immediately called Qiu Ming to report, Qiu Ming refused, and was kicked in by me, Qiu Ming slammed the door and just lay on the threshold, and immediately said: "Master, Xiao Jiu Ye is here to ask for peace." ”
I followed Qiu Ming to take a look, and in the study sat my father, my third brother and fourth sister, and my third brother's mother, Aunt Qingzhu, as well as Doctor Lian from the Tai Hospital.
Sun Yuji was interested in studying medicine, and her father asked her to follow Lian Tai Medicine all the time, and now when she sees Lian Tai Doctor sitting here, I don't know why, I feel betrayed, and a nameless fire swells in my heart.
"What time is it, come and say good morning or good afternoon?" Dad glanced at me, "You kick Qiu Ming again, every time you do this, do you have the appearance of a master?" ”
"Yulan is still young." Aunt Qingzhu immediately came out to protect me and beckoned to me, "Come, Yulan, sit down here with my aunt." ”
I made a grimace at my third brother, the third brother looked inexplicable, I walked to Aunt Qingzhu and the fourth sister and sat down, Qiu Ming also closed the door and hurriedly stood behind me to serve.
My fourth sister has never lived at home for some reasons, but now she actually went home, I quietly asked the fourth sister: "Fourth sister, why are you back?" ”
The fourth sister also played a game of biting my ears with me, picked up the tea, covered her mouth with a tea lid, and whispered to me: "Isn't it still for the third brother's marriage." ”
"Where's this singing? The third brother wants to marry the daughter of Imperial Doctor Lian? "I think my expression might be too hideous, and I'm busy holding a snack and pretending to eat it.
"Yes, I've been talking about it for a long time, my father seems to have long liked the daughter of the Imperial Doctor's family, and the last Lantern Festival banquet also intended to let the two of them sit next to each other. The fourth sister took a sip of tea and said.
"But Lian's family is not a famous family, not even a local family in Wucheng, and even the imperial doctor was just admitted to the Tai Hospital a few years ago, if it weren't for his father's care, he would be at most a starter in the Tai Hospital now." I pouted, this Miss Lian does look like a lady, but after all, Sun Yuji came from the once prominent Sun family, and her gestures have a proud temperament, and in terms of family background, Sun Yuji is better, no matter what I think, I feel that Miss Lian is not worthy of my brother.
The fourth sister glanced at me and said with a smile: "I know what you are thinking, are you wondering why your father chose not Sun Yuji?" Indeed, Yuji's child has been in our family for ten years, but you know what the Sun family experienced ten years ago, the reason why Dad chose Lian Peilan is because her family background is clean, and the Sun family is removed, which is equivalent to Your Majesty pulling out our family's power in the Tai Hospital, and this former harem is closely related to the Tai Hospital, Dad needs to support new forces, even the Tai Doctor wanted to be a Tai Doctor for many years without success, it was his father who helped him enter the Tai Hospital, Dad is a benefactor to him, he will naturally die for his father, if there is a family business, Then the relationship is even closer. ”
I had a headache when I heard it: "Don't talk to me about this court, I'm annoyed to listen to it, you mean that the third brother is a political marriage?" ”
"You can understand it that way." The fourth sister quietly looked at Aunt Qingzhu to confirm that she was not looking at us, and said, "Even the imperial doctor will be a pivotal figure in the Tai Hospital in the future, and his daughter is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of our Zhou family." ”
"But Sun Yuji's ancestor has always been a key figure in the Tai Hospital..."I was so excited that I almost touched the lid of the cup, but the fourth sister hurriedly took it and said, "Little ancestor, what are you making trouble?" You don't know Sun Yuji's current identity, after she is a criminal minister, how can such an identity be the eldest daughter-in-law of our family? If you don't like to see it, just go out, don't make trouble here, when the time comes, even if the imperial doctor leaves, you will inevitably be beaten by your father again. ”
I had no choice but to suppress my anger and go to see the third brother. The third brother was smiling all the time, nodding from time to time, saying a few words, nothing changed, and it seemed that he had no objection to this marriage. The third brother can start a family, Aunt Qingzhu is naturally happy, my father is also happy, that Miss Lian Peilanlian seems to be very satisfied with my third brother, although she has been keeping her head down, but I can see that she is happy.
The whole house, as far as I have an opinion about this marriage, I feel that the dim sum is difficult to swallow when I eat it.
After they finished talking, my father left them for lunch, Sun Yuji sat next to me at the dinner table without saying a word, I was also infected by her and was depressed, the sixth sister gave me vegetables, and I sandwiched it into Sun Yuji's bowl, Sun Yuji looked up at me, and lowered his head again.
At that time, I felt that it was really unfair, you were all so happy, so Sun Yuji was sad alone. While I was chopping rice, I threw Sun Yuji's usual restraint on me to Java, and now I only feel that this girl, who has been sent to the fence since she was seven years old, is smart and steady, and she really shouldn't be treated like this.
Soon, a few months later, the third brother got married.
It was a beautiful day, and the clouds were particularly beautiful, as beautiful as the bride's wedding dress. I don't know how Sun Yuji spent that day, but I think she will always remember this day, remember the wind of this day, the sun of this day, and this day, her brother Yuqing, holding another girl, walked through the archway.
Soon after the wedding, Sun Yuji proposed to move out, which I never expected, not only me, but also the whole family was shocked. Sun Yuji often helps people see a doctor at home on weekdays, boils beautiful porridge for my aunts, and plays with a group of us, I am used to her presence, used to her holding me every day to review my homework, used to her forcing me to drink some unpalatable Chinese medicine every day... She suddenly said she was leaving, how could she say she was leaving?
I was not there when Sun Yuji was talking to my father, and I heard the third brother say, Sun Yuji said so, saying that she will never forget the ten years of nurturing grace of the Zhou family, and now she has grown up, and she has also learned medical skills, so she can support herself by herself, and she doesn't want to trouble us anymore, she wants to find a house and move out by herself.
I listened and got angry: "It's been ten years of trouble, how can you be troublesome?" When did we ever bother her? Why do you want to move out? ”
"Yulan, it's good that Yuji moves out, at least she doesn't have to live under the fence anymore." Third Brother Road.
"Third brother! What are you talking about! I never treated her as an outsider! ”
"I know, I know, Yulan." The third brother came over and touched my back, "But for Yuji, this is not her home after all, she has grown up, you have to respect her decision, Yuji is a strong girl, she is fine." ”
"Third brother, have you ever liked her?" I felt like I was going to cry and blink desperately.
The third brother was stunned for a moment, turned his back on his hand, and said: "Yuji, this girl, there should be a better person in her life, and that person will never be me." The third brother paused, "She's leaving, you go and say goodbye to her." After speaking, the third brother walked out and never looked back.
I don't know what kind of mood I used to walk into Sun Yuji's room, Sun Yuji was packing her luggage, and when she saw me coming, she stopped and smiled at me: "It's too messy, and there's no place for you to sit..."
"Will you come back when you're gone?" I interrupted her words, probably because I was crying, and Sun Yuji was stunned for a moment.
"Probably not." Sun Yuji said softly, "Take care of yourself, you will be weak when you hit a small body, the medicine I prepared for you must be drunk on time, and then drink after eating, if you feel bitter, you will contain a piece of rock candy; You also have to review your homework the day before, otherwise you won't be able to answer your husband's questions; Your books are always messy, I'll sort them out for you, don't put them in the future; Also, if you are crazy, you must wear clothes, otherwise you will catch a cold; Also, don't eat too many dumplings Chinese New Year's Eve, every time you accumulate food, you have to make trouble......"
"Alright." My voice was shaking, "Can't you just not go?" Why do you have to go? Third brother, third brother, I know that he actually likes you, and he and the Lian family are just political and political marriages...... Obviously, you prefer the third brother, obviously you are earlier than her, why, why did the third brother marry her in the end? ”
Sun Yuji saw that tears were falling down my eyes when she saw me talking, as if her eyes were red, and said, "Yu Lan... Feelings never come first and come first. ”
Seeing that she had made up her mind, I wiped her tears and said, "Then you will marry a better person in the future and be angry with my third brother." ”
Sun Yuji burst into tears and smiled: "You just like to make fun of me." ”
When I saw her smile, I laughed too. The two of us laughed at each other like this, laughing and laughing, and the tears that I finally held back came out again, Sun Yuji pushed me out while wiping her tears, and closed the door directly. I leaned my back against the door, feeling unspeakably sad.
In the end, Sun Yuji still left, and there was no news about it, I was depressed for several days, He Yunsheng saw that I was depressed, and took me to Dongcheng Lane every day, buying paintings and jade to listen to operas and music, and gradually year after year, I was nineteen years old, this year the history books called the nineteen disasters, the situation in the court changed greatly, and my family was too, because my father died.
I never thought that my father would die, I never thought that if he was as smart and cunning as my father, he would also die.
After my father's death, the most mysterious person in Chenguo, the national teacher, suddenly made a decree in the name of King Ping, ordering me to replace my father and serve as the prime minister of Chenguo.
It was a long time before I learned that my life would change because of this, and that I was destined to be turned upside down and not at peace.
