Jiancheng is located in the southern water boundary and is a small city like a paradise. Hundred tiles of green bricks, ancient walls, outlining the characteristics of the other side of the Jiancheng, the small city is reflected in the water, don't slant in the sun Xiao Xiao Bamboo Pavilion, with the beauty characteristics of the voice humming out of the comfortable tune and fingertip lines at the place, depicting a different unique scenery, here the folk customs are simple, the environment is good, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and live happily.

"Yuan Ge, have you picked a lot of pearls again?"

"Grandma, you have to work hard." The pearl girl who spoke was Yuan Ge, the young girl of the tailor's shop in Jiancheng, and our story should start from her eighteenth birthday.

Jiancheng is different from other regional customs, it is worth saying that when the woman is an adult at the age of eighteen, the woman is combed and worn by the mother at home to wear a hairpin, sit on the float, to see if there is a good son in the city, if the unmarried sons and daughters meet the woman who loves it, they will send a top pearl to show their admiration, if the woman is interested, they will give back the embroidered handkerchief to show their love.

The sky was still bright, A-Niang and A-sister began to work for Yuange, cleaning and dressing, Yuange was like a delicate marionette, combed and dressed neatly under their fiddling, and then appeared in the main hall of the Yuan family decimately, Yuan's father looked at his daughter's slim appearance, and felt both lost and proud in his heart, "Yuange has grown up, after tonight, she will be a big girl, Daddy is very proud, very proud!" ”

Yuan Ge, who had been 'tortured' for a long time, was already exhausted, and the girl who was not interested in it listened to her father's words of Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, so she had to turn her head helplessly and deviate from her family's sight. What does a bar mitzvah look like? Yuan Ge still remembers the time when Sister A's coming-of-age ceremony three years ago, her cheeks were full of cowardice and shyness.

"Sister, you can finally get along with Brother Chen Chen justifiably, and I finally don't have to help you two watch Daddy and Auntie." Yuan Ge, who had just passed the age of Jilu, didn't understand Sister A's mood at the moment, but just smiled and expressed her feelings of not having to be guarded every day, which made her sister even more ashamed.

"Silly girl, one day, you will also meet the person who understands all your thoughts without saying anything." Yuan Ge looked at Sister A's crimson cheeks, and the determined gaze fell into deep thought.

'Understand without saying anything?' How is it possible, I don't understand myself myself. Eighteen-year-old Yuan Ge still dismisses her sister's words.

"Yuan Ge, Yuan Ge, do you think Young Master Qiu will appear today." As soon as a young girl saw Yuan Ge, she excitedly pulled her into the float.

"The Qiu family? I said, Panpan, why don't you want to marry into the Chong family? ”

"Then I'll marry the Qiu family, and you can marry the family." Girls of the same age are always smiling and lively, but the bride who drives like these two has never seen it, and she is not shy or timid, and talks about marriage.

Speaking of Yuan Ge has been a famous beauty in the city since he was a child, and the coming-of-age ceremony of the beauty has become a thing that the Langjun are looking forward to.

Yuan Geben had no intention of this ceremony, and he had to go because of the etiquette, and he was half shy and half twisted at Erlang, sometimes making fun of everyone, sometimes perfunctory, until he saw a person in the corner.

'That's a really good life,' Yuan Ge began to scrutinize the man he had never seen before.

"Ah Ge. This is specially prepared for you by my family's Ahuai, and the wearer will be safe and smooth. Just as Yuan Ge was recalling which family the man might be, he saw a richly dressed lady walk forward, and the blood-colored red beads in her hand holding the box were particularly eye-catching, dazzling, and she didn't need to look closely to know that it was not extraordinary.

"I don't know, what family is Brother Huai'er from?"

"The city is full of homes, full of Huai." Huo, full of home! The lady in front of me is probably the mother of the Chong family, you know, the Chong family will not give beads easily, let alone blood beads, and it is a gift from the mother of the head of the Chong family, which is something that I dare not think of. I had heard of Chong Jia Yuange for a long time, and just when I didn't know how to refuse, the man in the corner met her gaze, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, could it be that he was...

"Yuan Ge thanked Brother Huai'er, thanked Grandma." Yuan Ge looked at the man's face and was stunned for a while, then leaned over slightly, took the blood beads, and the sudden weight in his hand gave Yuan Ge a real feeling, and when he looked at the man, the figure was long gone.

"Ah Huai, you send her blood beads, do you know the consequences?" As Yuan Ge's back gradually blurred as he left, the man appeared next to the Chong family's housewife again, and the housewife glanced at the man with a smile in the corner of her eyes, sighed lightly and asked.

"Nature." The man looked at the back of the man who had already walked away and smiled slightly.

On the other side, Yuan Ge, who had just stepped into the house, was surrounded by Daddy, Auntie, and Sister, and the news that the housewife of the Chong family made a high-profile appearance to give the daughter of the Yuan family was indeed true, Yuan Ge thought of the Chong family Huai brother in his heart, and naturally did not notice the changes in his family. At night, Yuan Ge finished making the embroidered handkerchief and placed it with the blood beads, and gently stroked it with his fingertips, the unique color was very eye-catching. She twisted it lightly, recalling Grandma's words to her after putting it in the basket, "Ah Ge, it will be safe and smooth." ”

"Peace and smoothness..."Yuan Ge smiled.

The next day, at dawn

"Daddy, Auntie, Sister, morning." Yuan Ge, who was in a good mood last night, walked out of the room and greeted his family happily.

"Ah Ge?" Sister Ah first noticed the dazzling blood beads on Yuan Ge's neck, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Sister." Yuan Ge hurriedly hid the blood beads in the middle of her clothes, she lowered her head, and didn't dare to look directly into Sister A's eyes.

"Our Ah Ge is a big girl, and we also have a favorite man, Sister Ah is happy for you." Sister Ah silently walked to Yuan Ge's side and stroked her hair gently. Yuan Ge raised her head in surprise after hearing Sister A's words, you know, Sister Ah is the most polite girl, she used to criticize her harshly if she did a little wrong, but now she didn't say a word.

'O beads, you are really my lucky star. Yuan Ge secretly rejoiced in his heart.

During breakfast, my father and aunt tacitly did not mention the blood beads hanging on Yuan Ge's neck, but only asked her when she would go to Chong's house to give embroidered handkerchiefs. After breakfast, Yuan Ge took up the embroidered handkerchief and wanted to see Chong Huai as soon as possible, what Yuan Ge didn't expect was that today's neighbors seemed to be more kind and admiring, and everyone's eyes looked at the beads around her neck intentionally or unintentionally, once, twice...

Yuan Ge was suspicious in his heart, isn't it just a bead of blood? Why are you doing this expression, it makes her neck tingle, let's change it tomorrow. Unconsciously, I walked to the gate of Chong's house, and the closer I got to it, the heavier my steps became. Yuan Ge's heartbeat also gradually accelerated, plopping plop plop...

"Ah Ge?" Just as Yuan Ge was building his plopping little heart, a man's unique voice came from behind him, magnetic and gentle, like gravity, Yuan Ge's thoughts pulled back to reality.

"Brother Huai..."Yuan Ge forced himself to turn around, squeezed out a smile and looked at the man again, it was really him, it was still what he remembered.

"Ah Ge is here to find me?"

"Ah Ge is here to send this to Brother Huai, Brother Huai goodbye..."As soon as the words fell, Yuan Ge hurriedly ran away, the breeze blowing the tips of her hair, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Jiancheng Chongjia can be described as a mysterious existence, Chongjia is a century-old family, and its heirloom is the blood bead that Chonghuai gave to Yuange. The blood bead is a symbol of the housewife. When the head of the family is the young master, he will get a blood bead, the blood bead has always belonged to only one person, and the person who gets the blood bead is the mother of the house, unless he dies, the family cannot change the mother. But it is not so easy to get the blood beads to recognize the Lord, which is a later story.

"Ah Ge, do you really like Brother Huai'er?" Mother looked at Yuan Ge's happy appearance, and her heart was even more worried.

"I... Ignorance. Mother looked at Yuan Ge's shy appearance, and understood everything. sighed, but was helpless, you must know that there are more than a few people who have worn beads in the past generations and have not woken up after falling asleep. Her Ah Ge won't either...

In the evening, the ancestral hall of the family is filled

"Ahuai, that little girl in Yuan Ge has been wearing blood beads for two days, I think it's almost time, have you really thought about it?" The mother of the Chong family looked at her son, Chong Huai has been independent since he was a child, and he made up his mind, you must know that the head of the Chong family had already intended to give pearls, but he just didn't agree, and now he took the initiative to send a girl who had just turned eighteen years old, I think it was a long plan, but can she get out of the blood beads?

On the other side, "You say, why is my Ah Ge so miserable, but he fell in love with the person who filled the family." A-Niang's worried look was overflowing, and when she said that she was sad, she couldn't help but leave tears.

"Hey, everything is a certainty, this may also be the calamity that Ah Ge is destined for." Daddy sighed.

"Bloodbeads, you're so pretty, like... Brother Huai is just as good-looking. Yuan Ge lay on the bed, looking at the blood beads, translucent and dazzling, and his mind was full of Huai.

"Ahh Yuan Ge gently patted his cheek to calm himself down, and after a while, he fell into his dream.

"Brother Huai... Brother Huai..."Yuan Ge saw that the surroundings were gray, and he could only see a figure in the distance, looking at the figure, it should be Brother Huai. Yuan Ge called his name, but the man didn't look back.

Yuan Ge was very scared, and gradually his figure gradually blurred, Yuan Ge had to run in a hurry, but to no avail. I vaguely heard Brother Huai say, "Ah Ge, I'm waiting for you here, I hope you are safe and smooth and return as soon as possible." ”

"Brother Huai... Brother Huai! Yuan Ge suddenly woke up, and the bad environment in front of him was already unfamiliar. The air is filled with a faint sandalwood, the hollow carved window is flecked with fine sunlight, take a closer look, under the body is a soft wooden bed, the delicate carved decoration is extraordinary, the body is a brocade quilt, turned sideways, a woman's boudoir comes into view, the guqin stands in the corner, the bronze mirror is placed on the wooden dresser, the room is so fresh and leisurely. But where is this?

Yuan Ge's eyes were glazed, and he got up and looked at the lovely person in the bronze mirror. With a crimson goose egg face, a pair of beautiful eyes, and black shawl hair, he really looks like a moth eyebrow.

"Miss?" Just when Yuan Ge was confused, a little girl with low sideburns and a goose yellow dress walked in, and the little girl was smart, playful and cute. The little girl gently placed the basin in her hand in front of the table, and skillfully walked behind Yuan Ge and began to groom her. The little girl's nimble fingers immediately finished dressing up Yuan Ge. Later, under the call of the little girl, some girls in cyan costumes entered the house, and after asking for peace, they got busy, and Yuan Ge swayed at will like a marionette version, with dull eyes.

"Okay, Miss, it's time to go to the main hall, the lord and the lady are still waiting for you, Xiao Tao knows that you don't want to, but the lord has already made the decision in this matter, don't worry too much." The little girl sighed lightly and looked at Yuan Ge distressedly.

On the way to the main hall, Yuan Ge had mixed feelings. Where is this? Who am I?

"Ge'er, are you okay?" As soon as he stepped into the door of the main hall, a man came anxiously, he took Yuan Ge's hand, and his eyes were full of worry. Yuan Ge looked at the man, and saw that he was wearing a sapphire blue square gauze robe, with a jewel-patterned horn belt tied around his waist, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to himself in the bronze mirror.

"Big brother?" Yuan Ge said tentatively to the man.

"Ge'er, eldest brother knows that you and Pei Shuo still have a friendship, but as the daughter of the Yuan family, this is your unshirkable responsibility." The man said earnestly.

"Fu'er, don't say much. Ge'er, let's not mention the character of the kid of the Pei family, let's just say that no matter what has happened for so many years, when has my father not been to you, this draft is the first selection of the lord of the country after he ascended the throne, and you must not mess around! "The name of the lord of the Yuan family is called Yuan Hongbo, the official is the right prime minister, he is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he is the right-hand man of the new lord, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person. The world knows that Prime Minister Yuan is loyal and upright, and his eldest son Yuan Fu inherited his ambition, and he was able to be extraordinary since he was a child, and now he is a famous general in Shunxi.

'I'm obviously the most innocent, what Pei Shuo, what responsibility, what's my business. Yuan Ge had already heard it in the clouds, so he had to sell it obediently, thinking that he would have time to investigate carefully. Yuan Ge looked around every corner of the room, and suddenly met a girl's eyes, the girl was dressed plainly but wore a golden hairpin, glaring at Yuan Ge viciously, Yuan Ge had to look away.

"Little Peach, who is the girl in the pavilion?" Out of the main hall, Yuan Ge played with his handkerchief and asked casually.

"Miss, don't you know her? That's the fourth lady, the daughter of that person. Xiao Tao's surprised tone was mixed with a vicious taste.

'That guy? It's that person...' Yuan Ge was extremely miserable in his heart, he didn't know why he came here, he didn't know how to go back, and the key was that he didn't know anything about things here.

After returning to the room, Yuan Ge sat on the couch depressedly, and Xiao Tao was also puzzled by the strangeness of her young lady. Suddenly, a maid in Tsing Yi came, and she didn't know what to say in Xiao Tao's ear, and Xiao Tao's face changed greatly.

"Miss, Pei Gongzi is here." Xiao Tao gently attached to Yuan Ge's ear and said.

"Pei Gongzi? Pei Shuo? ”
