Chapter 1: Weddings
Dayun Dynasty, the summer of the fifteenth year of Jianping.
In the mansion of the servant of the ministry, there is a festive faction, with red lights on the eaves, red yarn in the corridor, and red paper in front of the window, all indicating the word "happy event".
However, there are many laughing and laughing, and there are few lonely people.
Song Miaomiao, the real squire's wife, is actually a lonely person.
She sat in front of the window of the small courtyard, holding the white cat, and she didn't touch it for a while, her face was full of worries.
Not far away, the two mothers-in-law were discussing enthusiastically.
"Madame is so ignorant, born in a merchant, full of copper smell, she has not come out of the door for five years, and the lord has never blamed her. This time I took a concubine, and I cried and hanged myself, which is really embarrassing. ”
"But no, how many official wives in the Beijing circle are merchant girls? The year before last, the lord asked for a decree for his wife, and he was not satisfied with such an honor! ”
"It's Miss Xiangfu who just entered the door this time, and this is the master."
"No, maybe there will be Miss Childe in the house soon!"
Song Miaomiao's ears were very good, she heard these words clearly, laughed at herself, it turned out that the people around her looked at her like this.
She was born in the Song family of the imperial businessman, and she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, and she didn't want to marry into an official family, but she couldn't compete with her husband Chi Xun's hard pursuit.
The Dayun Dynasty has always attached importance to the portal, and Song Miaomiao naturally knew it, but when she was young, Chi Xun kept saying that she would be a couple for the rest of her life, and she was moved, regardless of the opposition of her family, and married into a fallen official family with a rich dowry.
After entering, I learned that the Chi family owed a foreign debt of 10,000 taels of gold, and Chi Xun apologized in every way to please him, Song Miaomiao thought that the harmony between husband and wife was the most important, so she took the initiative to fill the hole with the dowry.
The Chi family is so extravagant, and for many years, she has had to fill it with that dowry.
Chi Xun didn't treat her much, and he was very attentive over the years, but this changed after he was admitted to Jinshi.
Song Miaomiao saw disgust in her husband's eyes more than once, and was hurt by his words more than once, she was aggrieved in her heart, thinking about the friendship between husband and wife, and she has been patient.
Until her husband said that he wanted to take a concubine, and the other party was still a famous Miss Xiangfu in the capital!
Song Miaomiao refused in every possible way, but Chi Xun never listened, and even slapped her...... Her heart was broken.
Chi Xun went to ask the saint for the widowed Miss Xiangfu in person, and since then everyone in Kyoto knows that there is a jealous merchant woman in the Shilang family.
Inside and outside the house, there are many ridicules for Song Miaomiao's rude and willfulness.
Thinking about it, tears slid down, Song Miaomiao's ears came with the sound of joyful playing, the wedding banquet in the front hall had begun, she reached out and wiped her tears, got up to change her clothes, and painted her eyebrows and lips in front of the bronze mirror.
The husband takes a concubine, and her wife has to show up.
Song Miaomiao dressed up, with a not-so-good-looking smile on her face, and walked outside, but was stopped by her subordinates.
"Madam, the lord said that you are not feeling well today, and I ordered you to recuperate in the house."
"What!" Song Miaomiao was shocked, "This is impossible!" Mrs. Ben doesn't drink the concubine tea, how does this concubine get started? ”
The next person was surprised in his eyes, glanced at Song Miaomiao up and down, and sneered: "Madam, today I married a flat wife, Miss Xiangfu is noble, how can the lord let her be wronged?" ”
In an instant, Song Miaomiao's eyes were filled with tears, after five years of husband and wife, her husband was reluctant to be wronged by Miss Xiangfu, so he was willing to wronged her!
Hahaha! Whether it is a concubine or a flat wife, on the wedding day, Chi Xun didn't let her show up in front of the guests, is this afraid that she will make trouble, or is it basically to lose her face?
Hahaha!
Good, very good!
Song Miaomiao cried and turned around, took a step forward, the door was rudely closed, and the little guy guarding the door said "trouble".
She turned around in astonishment, she couldn't imagine that she had done something wrong to make her husband dislike her so much, and even her subordinates dared to ridicule her like this.
Song Miaomiao sat at the table, crying so much that she couldn't help herself.
Outside the door, the sound of joy became louder and louder, and the maids guarding the door left one by one, and in order to prevent Song Miaomiao from going out, they also locked the door.
Heavy locks, no key can be opened.
The night is gradually falling, the lights are noisy, the voices are boiling, and the backyard is lonely, and there are few lights.
Where no one paid attention, three or four people came with firewood and grass, piled them at the door, took out the fire fold, slowly blew it up, and threw it away, and the fire ignited directly.
I saw the flames soaring into the sky and the smoke filling the air.
In the house, Song Miaomiao noticed that something was wrong, and cried and knocked on the door: "Help!" Someone! ”
The door was locked and could not be opened, and she walked to the window, but it could not be opened, and the windows were all locked without exception.
The smoke in the room became heavier and heavier, the air became thinner and thinner, Song Miaomiao's head became more and more dizzy, her head tilted, and she fell to the ground.
She struggled to remember, but her eyelids grew heavier.
Is this the end of this life?
She is unwilling, really unwilling!
But there was no one to save him, and his eyes were completely closed......
Suddenly, a stone smashed in through the window and broke the hole.
A man in blue turned over from the window and saw the person lying on the ground at a glance, and shouted: "Miss! Wake up! Wake up! ”
Song Miaomiao opened her eyes and saw his face in a trance: "Youning ......"
……
Three days later, in the morning, the sun was just right, and a beam of sunlight shone into the house through the window, leaving a mottled and broken shadow.
The maid Dongmo knelt in front of the bed and cried in a low voice.
Xu was crying so loudly that it made a noise to the person lying on the bed, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Song Miaomiao opened her eyes and spoke, her voice hoarse and ugly, "Water." ”
"Madame, you are awake! Whining...... You're finally awake! ”
Song Miaomiao struggled to get up, slowly drank the tea sent by Dongmo, and slowed down for a long time before she reacted, she had escaped from the hands of the King of Hades!
"Madam, the slave is going to call the doctor!"
Song Miaomiao nodded, but after a while, Dongmo came back crying.
"What's wrong?"
"The doctor was asking for a pulse in the second lady's room, and the little maid actually said to let the lady wait, woo...... They're too bullying! ”
Hearing this, Song Miaomiao's hand clenched into a fist, and she found that Dong Mo had kept her head down, feeling that something was wrong, "Dong Mo, come here." ”
"Slave maid pour another cup of tea for Madame!" As he spoke, Dongmo was about to turn around.
Song Miaomiao's eyes pressed down, and she used an accent: "Come here!" ”
Dongmo stood in place, hesitated for a long time, and then turned around, the right half of his face was high and swollen, and the five finger marks were extremely obvious.
"Who hit it?"
"Madam, it doesn't matter to the slave."
"Don't push Mrs. Ben to ask a second time."
Hearing this, Dongmo raised his head sharply and saw that his wife's face was pale, but her eyes were resolute, and her eyes were almost indifferent.
Song Miaomiao raised her head and looked directly at her.
Dong Mo shuddered violently, Madame's eyes were really terrifying, and she said in a trembling voice: "It's the frost around the second lady." ”
Hearing this, Song Miaomiao reached out and groped for a long time, and took out a token from under the pillow, "Go and invite the master." ”
"Madame, what are you going to do here?"
"It's up to you!"
