Chapter 001: Country Girl

Words like "born in the countryside" came out of Song Xiang's own mouth, which actually carried a bit of self-deprecation.

The Song family is a native of Yanjing, not a big family, nor can it be called a generation of scholars, but the ancestors have accumulated some meager property, and their children are right in farming and reading.

Her grandfather was a lifter, and her father Song Yu was talented, and he traveled for two years when he was a teenager, and then returned home to study hard, and at the age of 16, he was promoted to the Jinshi at the age of 19, becoming the pride of the family.

Song Yu's appearance is also very outstanding, if he hadn't been married at that time, otherwise it would be very possible to be ordered to visit the flowers.

This is not Song Yu's boasting, nor is it Song Xiang's speculation later, but her father-in-law, His Royal Highness King Jin, once said it personally when chatting with them about family life.

Corporal Lixian, the king of Jin, is the only prince who is allowed by the emperor to stay in Beijing to open a mansion, so his words are credible.

It's a pity that Song Yu is not in good health, and he drowned when he was young, leaving him with insufficiency. After a few years in the Hanlin Academy, Song Xiang's grandmother died when he was ten years old, and he happened to be recuperating from illness, and he died at the age of twelve, leaving Song Xiang and his mother and his younger brother orphans and widows to live, as well as leaving 30 acres of land that his grandmother gave them when she presided over the division of the family.

But it can be seen that the Song family is not in vain.

Song Xiang's maternal great-grandfather was originally a reckless, but later followed the general trend of the world, joined the first emperor's army and became a small general, earning some meritorious service.

But because he is used to idleness, the joy of life is only to fight unevenly, so he has no ambition in his career, and he is a general of Wupin Wude, and he will never climb up after taking charge of a guard.

After the death of his maternal great-grandfather, although Song Xiang's maternal grandfather was capable, because of the influence of the family style, he simply only hung up a fictitious position in the camp and made friends on weekdays. I don't pay much attention to giving birth to children, and there is only one son and one daughter. Because of love, the family property has not become famous.

In order to achieve her wish, Song Xiang's grandfather looked at the account book with less and less accounts, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the set of family property handed down to men and women.

So even from the side of the maternal family, Song Xiang is not necessarily a nobody.

With the house calligraphy and paintings and 30 acres of land given by his grandmother, as well as the silver money brought by his mother, plus the money, Song Xiang's family is less than the top, and more than the bottom.

Although his mother Zheng Rong, who grew up in the atmosphere of the Zheng family, also didn't know what the wealth management of the family was, and she had never seen how to run the family, and the family background was constantly thinning, but with the convenience of Song Yujin's non-commissioned officer, after his death, Song Xiang's family was exempted from paying taxes, and the mother and son were inside and outside the capital, and they were still living a stable life at the moment when the people were in a prosperous age.

Song Xiang has outstanding appearance, when he was young, he went to the street, and he could always gain a lot of people's attention, and he was personally educated and cultivated by his erudite father since he was a child.

But things don't always go your way. Seven years ago, she brought Lu Zhan, who had fainted to the ground, home in the vegetable garden, and then was thanked by King Jin, who rushed to hear the news, and then was asked to marry.

Song Xiang never thought that he would be such a great person, and there are many cases of sparrows turning into phoenixes in the world, but there are not many cases of Song Xiang becoming phoenixes so easily.

A small family like them, even if they have no worries about food and clothing, and are respected, they are still completely out of the same line compared to the royal family and nobles, especially the Jin Palace. To say "born in the countryside" is not a burial.

She has jumped from a people's daughter to a noble family member of the clan, and behind her back, it is said that she is trying to climb this high branch, and naturally there will be no shortage of people.

But the sincerity of the Jin Palace's courtship is there, and there is the emperor's holy decree to give marriage, what reason did the Song family refuse? What's more, in the eyes of most people, this is still a prestigious honor that cannot be sought.

After thinking about it, since he couldn't refuse, he could only work hard to live a good life.

After inspecting the behavior of the Jin King and his wife, Song Xiang still has confidence in himself.

It is precisely because her mother Zheng Rong is not good at running the house that she is sensible earlier than her peers and has been exposed to housework at a very young age. In addition, her father was an official in a place like the Hanlin Academy, and he also took her to see a lot, and she usually spent a lot of time at home, so she had no reason to be a fool under careful teaching.

It's just that who would have thought that on the night of marriage, Lu Zhan made a mistake and let the emperor catch him and punish him to serve in the camp?

Lu Zhan is the only son of Princess Jin and the son of the palace, the newly married princess just entered the door, and the prince had such a thing, and the delicate atmosphere that Song Xiang faced in the palace in that half a year was inevitable.

But she still relied on her mind and cultivation to gradually gain respect from top to bottom.

When Lu Zhan came back, although the husband and wife were not close, but seeing that the eldest son and second son were born one after another, he was not as unhappy as the children of other families, so he simply made the family chickens and dogs jump, and thought that life was becoming stable.

Who would have thought that after a few years, he would miss in the paddock and be punished on the spot?

……

If you want to say that you are unwilling, of course Song Xiang is unwilling.

She is not a high branch that she climbed by tricks, it was her who their palace wanted to repay the favor and took the initiative to marry. Why should she bear the ridicule and cold eyes of the world?

But these are really nothing, because the identity is indeed very different, and she just took Lu Zhan in for a few days, and then invited him to a doctor, which is not a great favor.

For ordinary people, it is unreasonable to hire a woman of her status to come back to be the wife of the prince, and everyone will be sincerely happy, right?

She didn't care about anyone else, and it was Lu Zhan who couldn't let go of her until she died.

They are at least a couple who have given birth to two children, and they also came together when they were at a low point, but no matter how much they don't agree, they can no longer accept her identity, and they are pressed by the holy decree of marriage, and they will also go through this life together.

She didn't expect that Lu Zhan had never been there when she needed him, but at the moment of her life and death, he could leave her and the children to go to Beijing alone.

Being poisoned and killed by mistake did not defeat her, and being teased and coveted by Tong Qing did not make her at a loss, but Lu Zhan's final abandonment made her completely disheartened.

It turns out that the person with whom you have always intended to share ups and downs, he has never regarded you as a companion.

The marriage that she was innocently tied into made her unworthy of even a minimum of respect in her husband's heart.

"Xiangxiang...... Xiangxiang? ”

Song Xiang let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

The air she inhaled was scented with grass, and a plate of enlarged faces hung above her, and the morning sun shone brilliantly down from the side of this face.

The gaze gradually focused.

After staring at it for a moment, Song Xiang finally saw this person's face clearly, and sat up awkwardly: "Iron Bull?!" ”
