I was born on a small island not far from the town of Yongwu, and the name of the island is Qiu Qing. Before I left the cabinet, I had been living on the island and had never been out. The family is very prosperous, I listened to my mother when I was a child, the family has guarded a magic weapon from generation to generation, it is the magic weapon to protect, our Jiang family can be prosperous, prosperous, in order to continue the family's wealth, in each generation of the descendants will produce a talent, appearance and character outstanding character, this is the magic weapon to protect the Jiang family to get the reward.

At that time, I didn't know what the reward in my mother's mouth was, but I was curious about what it was that had such magical powers that the Jiang family worshipped for generations. I asked my mother and my father, but they wouldn't say.

My father is the third master of the Jiang family, and he has two older brothers, and he is the youngest one. My father has two daughters and a boy, I am my father's second daughter, and my sister's name is Jiang Miaoqing, who is the most top-notch figure of our generation.

My sister has been smooth sailing since she was born, and she has never encountered any setbacks, even if she is in trouble, she has been rescued by nobles, and it is not an exaggeration to call her the pride of the sky.

My sister has grown to the age of fifteen, and when she reaches the age where she can talk about marriage, the threshold of the family is about to be broken by the matchmaker who came to talk about marriage. Although the Jiang family is on the island, they are engaged in the business of sea transportation, have always been in contact with the land, and they also know many powerful people in Chang'an City. My sister's name and enviable luck have long been spread to the mainland adjacent to the dock with the Jiang family's fishing boats, so among the people who came to propose marriage, there are many people who are far away on the mainland on the other side of the island, and among them are the magnates of Chang'an City.

Just when everyone was busy choosing a son-in-law for his sister, his father made an unbelievable request, he said that the husband of his rich daughter Jiang Miaoqing must be rich.

This is simply a fantasy, since ancient times men and women have married, except that the man's family background is really not as good as the woman, he will reluctantly be a son-in-law, this is spread out of the eight generations of the ancestors in the family, and most people are not interested in this, not to mention that there are some powerful people in the family, and the matchmakers who came to ask for relatives almost overturned the table, and the family background of the men on their behalf is innocent, not to mention that the family is rich and noble, that is also a family that does not need to worry about food and clothing, even if it is a family member who can say that it is a family affair, how can the Jiang family be knocked into such a way.

Since the father said that he wanted to come to the son-in-law's iron request, there were many fewer people who came to ask for marriage, but there were still a lot of men who deserved a good match, the father respected the opinion of his sister, let her choose her own husband on the list of marriage, she chose a man who was ordinary but proficient in music and rhythm, Jia Fugui, the two chose a good day and an auspicious day to get married, after marriage, Jia Fugui moved his family to Qiuqing Island, the husband and wife raised their eyebrows, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was harmonious, and within a year, it was reported that my sister was happy.

She gave birth to a son, named Jiang Jingyao. Jing Yao inherited his mother's extraordinary beauty and unusual luck from birth, and was able to babble and hum tunes when he couldn't speak, which was deeply inherited by his father.

The Jiang family's business is booming, Jia Fugui, who has been a son-in-law, has the idea of going out to do business three years after getting married, and his sister is unwilling to let her husband go out alone, but also to take her children to accompany him to work hard, this decision was opposed by the Jiang family, and the father even said that if my sister goes out of this island, she will not come back in the future. But my sister was used to being arrogant all her life, and she didn't listen to her parents' words, and left Qiuqing Island by boat with her brother-in-law late one night.

My sister's parting came silently, and the next day I found that my mother was about to fall out, and sent many servants from the family to arrest my sister back, but it was unsuccessful, and the matter was over.

When I saw my sister again, she stood in front of my house with a tired face, her eyes sunken, like yesterday's yellow flowers, and she no longer saw the demeanor of Jiang Miaoqing, the proud son of the sky who was smiling and smiling on Qiuqing Island. At that time, I was pregnant, married my husband, and came to live in a small fishing village in Yongwu Town with my husband.

My sister told me that my brother-in-law lost money when he went out to do business, and he owed a lot of debts, and he couldn't bear this complete failure and jumped into the river to commit suicide, leaving her orphan and widow to face this huge debt. She couldn't hold on anymore and came back.

But I didn't think about it, I was kicked out by my grandmother, who had always loved her, and she was still scolding her bad luck, she came to my house after being introduced, and wanted to ask me to let her borrow it for a few days until she found a job.

Blood is thicker than water, I don't understand why the Jiang family drove her sister out of such a situation, even if she complained that she didn't listen to persuasion, but she also suffered the bitter consequences of her choice, why did she kill them all?

I took in my sister and her child, and under the care of my sister, I gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl, my husband is also surnamed Jiang, I hope that the child has the noble quality of magnolia flower inheritance, so I named her Jiang Mulan.

Mulan grew up day by day and was fed into a fat doll, and her sister has been getting worse and worse since Mulan was born, and in the end she couldn't get out of bed, she was paralyzed in bed every day, eating, drinking, and Lazar needed help from others.

After my sister left, my mother came to my house and told me about some family secrets.

It turns out that our family guards a magic weapon for generations, swears by blood, each generation, there will be a peerless person in the family, that is the sacrifice selected by the magic weapon, blessed by the magic weapon, as long as it does not go out of the scope of the magic weapon's spiritual power, the sacrifice can live peacefully to old age, if it is out of the range of spiritual power, it will accelerate aging, and will not die well.

It's a story I used to hear my mother tell when I was a child, and I didn't believe it before it happened, but my sister died right in front of me, and she was just thirty when she died, and it was a good time.

I had to believe the story told by my mother, and I began to fear that since the magic weapon must be sacrificed in every generation, would my child be this miserable one?

I told my mother about my worries, but she shook her head, let me look at the child left by my sister, and sighed, I was shocked to realize that the magic weapon had already chosen the sacrifice, and the sacrifice of this generation was the boy and girl's child, my sister's son Jiang Jingyao.

My mother told me why my grandmother swept her down-and-out sister out of the house, she didn't listen to the dissuasion of the old people in the family, and insisted on following her husband out of the house.

But the children are a piece of meat that fell from my mother's own body, my grandmother is ruthless, but my mother is ruthless, she often sends some food money to my sister behind her back, I heard that my sister lived in my house before she was relieved, she did not dare to tell my sister about the disaster, afraid that I would also sweep my sister out of the house, then my sister will not have a way to live, so she appeared after my sister's death and told me these secrets.

Mother's words made me a little sad, between the two sisters, she always loved my sister more, and now my sister is down, and she thinks more about her sister's aspects, but she ignores that I was also pregnant at that time, if there is a good one, what disaster has really brought, who do I cry to.

Life went on as usual, and the man confided in me about them at that time after my sister's death, begging for my forgiveness. But everyone is dead, what else can I do, run to her grave and scold? I can only pass it off and forgive him. I am not only his wife, but also the mother of his children.

I took my sister's children with me, he especially doted on Mulan, Mulan was also very sticky to him, when he went out, the two of them were like conjoined babies, and during the New Year's holidays, I took the two children back to their parents' house to show the old people, happy.

One winter, I took my two children to celebrate the third day of the Lunar New Year at my parents' house, when the weather was very cold, and it snowed heavily for several days, and the snow blocked my way back to my husband's house, so my mother left me behind and continued to play in the house with my two children. Mulan grew up with me by the sea since she was a child, and she was used to living an unrestrained life, and suddenly let her live in a house with strict family rules, always thinking of ways to go out.

Jing Yao has always doted on Mulan, and it didn't take long to come up with a way to play, he took her to find an abandoned courtyard in the inner courtyard of the Jiang family, overgrown with dead grass, surrounded by some dead branches and rotten leaves, but the snow was deep, enough for two children to have a hearty and fluent snow battle, and when they were tired of playing, they hid in the house, lit a fire with stones, and wanted to dry the wet clothes and come back, for fear that I would find out and scold them.

The two of them have no concept of time to play, and when I find them, they are asleep without any worries, I am angry and anxious, in the afternoon, the Jiang family is looking for these two ancestors, for fear of falling into something that is not sealed, or being taken away by people with bad intentions, even the grandmother who lives in a simple place is alarmed.

After finding the two children, my grandmother asked me to take the children to meet her. Grandmother is 90 years old, usually quiet and quiet, and does not like children and grandchildren to bother, so Mulan and Jingyao have never seen their grandmother.

Since I knew what happened to my sister and my grandmother's determination to prosper the family, I also knew in my heart that she was summoned this time to see my sister's child, Jing Yao, the child who became a sacrifice for the new generation.

Grandmother withdrew from everyone, so she left Jing Yao to have a long talk with him, I took Mulan back to the courtyard where I lived when I was a child, thinking that I would pick up Jing Yao back early tomorrow morning, and the three of them went back to the fishing village.

I slept until midnight, I heard Mulan next to me groping to get up, wearing a middle coat and about to push the door out, I kept calling her behind, but she seemed to be bewitched, didn't hear anything, step by step out of the door, I followed Mulan behind, and found her all the way to her grandmother's room.
