Chapter 001: Rebirth
In June of the 38th year of Yong'an, Gu Nian, the monarch of the Great Qi Kingdom, died, and the Nine Emperor Princes Gu Chao, who was located on the border of being degraded, caused an uproar in the court as soon as the edict was issued.
There was a dispute between the party members of the old department of the first emperor, and a cadre of generals led by Rong Wang Gu Rongqing and Shen Xian, the marquis of Zhen'an, took the lead in rebellion, and Daqi fell into war overnight, and in September, Jiejing was broken.
Gu Rongqing ascended the throne as the emperor, changed to Yuan Xihe, that is, Emperor Qirong, and Yan Ping, the daughter of the Yan family, was the queen.
In March of the following year, Emperor Rong sent troops to intercept and kill Yan's army in Yanhui.
General Lin was killed in battle, his daughter Lin Wei was martyred, and the Yan family army all died under the sword of the imperial court.
Under the city tower, the smoke of gunpowder rose everywhere, and countless war cannons bombarded the sky full of wolf smoke, and under the sight were a broken corpse, they had already been unrecognizable, even if their own family came to find it in person, they were afraid that they would not be recognized.
"The Yan family's soldiers are committing chaos and trying to rebel, they deserve to die."
A cold voice came to her ears, and the girl on the bed woke up from her nightmare sweating profusely, and a cold wind poured in through the window, and it was snowing heavily.
The snow is falling, thousands of miles are white, and the white is boundless, as if everything in the world is filial piety and mourning, even the proud green pines in the past are dressed in linen and filial piety, gloomy and compassionate, and the people who are under pressure are breathless.
Yan Yu originally thought that the war in the sky would be the last thing she saw in the world.
But the scene in front of me -
Carved windows, silk painted curved screens, red sandalwood round tables, lacquered wooden beds, jade pillow gauze tents......
It's like the boudoir when she wasn't out of the cabinet.
The cold wind blowing outside the window made her very awake, and her awake consciousness told her that it was impossible for people to dream awakely.
"The girl is awake?" Xu is hearing the movement, someone outside pushed the door in, glanced at the window that was blown open, went over and closed it, turned around and approached the couch, squatted down, took Yan Yu's hand and looked at it, whimpered and said, "Girl, why is this so troubled?" β
It was her maid Lanchun who spoke, Lanchun who had already drowned in Xianghu.
Lan Chun pulled her and cried for a long time.
Although Yan Yu was motionless, the expression on her face was constantly changing, and after living for so many years, she knew for the first time that she could have such a colorful expression on her face.
There is nothing more magical in the world than thisβ
The last moment she clearly fell from the city tower, but this moment she woke up from the boudoir before she left the pavilion.
Lan Chun wiped his nose, "Although it is a holy decree, but there is still no marriage, it is not that there is no room for turnaround, even if it is really married to the short-lived prince and a widow, it is better than just dying......"
Yan Zhen really didn't know if this maid was comforting her when she cried to the end, or if she wanted to make her angry to death again, but it gave her a general understanding of her current situation.
She figured that she must have returned to the time she was fourteen years old because of some strange force.
Yong'an thirty-five years, the twenty-seventh month of the first month.
- the day she committed suicide.
She committed suicide because of a marriage contract.
Early yesterday morning, Emperor Ming issued an order to bring up the marriage contract between her and the crown prince again.
She has had a marriage contract with the crown prince since she was a child, which was made by the former queen and her mother. This should have been a happy event that everyone envied, but because the prince was frail and sick since he was a child, and the former national teacher asserted that he would not live to be twenty-one, he was ridiculed as a little widow even with her.
Nobody wants to be a widow.
At that time, she had a high temperament, and if she didn't want to, she didn't want to, relying on her brother to be good to her, and she expected that he wouldn't bear to suffer herself, so she made such a fuss.
Seeing that Yan Yu still didn't speak, Lan Chun wiped her tears, and continued to persuade: "Girl, don't think about it, if something happens to you, Lan Chun won't live......
"Don't cry!"
Yan Yu doesn't like to hear people cry the most, she always feels that as soon as someone cries, there will be a funeral, bad luck, this girl still loves to cry very much, she wants to raise her hand to rub the corner of her forehead, the stinging pain in her wrist is too obvious, so she put down her hand.
She remembered that she had just scratched lightly, so that it wouldn't hurt so much.
Without waiting for Yan Yu to understand, Lan Chun smiled and said with a smile: "Girl, you are finally willing to speak." β
Yan Yupi looked at Lan Chun with a smile, if she didn't open her mouth again, would she really want to cut her wrists and kill herself or something?
Seeing that his own girl was laughing, Lan Chun took the opportunity to persuade again, "Girl, don't do stupid things in the future." β
Yan Yu let out a long sigh, "No." β
Not only will she not die, she will live well, and she and her brother will live well.
"Fortunately, I met the young master on the road, otherwise when I went to invite the imperial doctor, I am afraid that the girl's life would not be saved, don't you know, the house was full of blood at that time, and the slaves and maids would be scared to death." Lan Chun was about to cry again as he spoke.
Young Master Cousin, Yan Yu's cousin Xu Jianyue, the doctor of the Tai Hospital, their Xu family has been a doctor for generations, Xu Jianyue was actually forced to practice medicine, his dream is to be a general who protects the family and defends the country, but fortunately he did not go to the army, his courage is too small, even a mouse is afraid.
Of course, he was also inexplicably afraid of Yan Yu, in the past few years after returning to Beijing, Yan Yu often went to her grandfather to study medicine, Xu Jianyue ran away every time she saw her as if she had seen a flood beast, Yan Yu didn't believe that it was that guy who saved her.
Yan Yu patted Lan Chun's shoulder and said, "Okay, isn't this girl alive well." β
"Is Xiao Yu better?" At this moment, a man's voice came in.
This person is Yan Yu's cousin Xu Jianyue, he has been standing outside the door for a long time, and he dared to bring the medicine after listening to the silence in the house.
"The girl is fine, ...... cousin"
Lan Chun was covered by Yan Yu before she finished speaking, but she was still a step late.
At this time, Xu Jianyue had already pushed the door in, and at this scene, her face turned pale with fright, but fortunately, she didn't spill a drop of the medicine in her hand.
Yan Yu let go of his hand, Lan Chun hurriedly got up, and said quite seriously: "Young Master Don't worry, the girl didn't want to murder the slave." β
Yan Yu was speechless, was she so fierce? She'd never done murdering a handmaiden.
But think about it, her current reputation is really not very good, but she clearly hasn't even done anything to beat and scold a servant, how did these words get out?
Xu Jianyue fixed her expression and said, "Xiaoyu, let's drink this medicine......
Yan Yu took the bowl and sniffed it, looking at her like this, Xu Jianyue's heart was raised, this shouldn't be because of the bitter taste.
Lan Chun on the side was a little unbearable, "Girl, this is the medicine that the young master specially boiled for you, if you don't drink it, it should be cold." β
If you don't drink it again, the young master will kneel down and beg you to drink it for fear that he will be frightened, and he said in his heart.
Seeing Yan Yu drink the medicine, Xu Jianyue explained a few words to Lan Chun, and hurriedly rushed to the Tai Hospital, and before leaving, she carefully told the maid sent by Fu'an Hospital to inquire about Yan Yu's situation.
He met Lan Chun on the way to the Tai Hospital, and then he was pulled here directly, but he didn't have time to take leave from the Tai Hospital, and his grandfather would have to scold him again if he knew.
After Xu Jianyue left, Lan Chun began to chatter again.
Yan Yu rubbed her forehead, "You go down first, I'll be quiet." β
"Yes, girl." Lan Chun blessed his body and retreated.
Yan Yu turned his head to look out the window, and there were ink clouds in the sky, shrouding the entire capital in a cloud of ice and snow. The snow outside has not stopped, and this year's snow has been falling since the Shangyuan Festival, and now it has lasted for nearly half a month. It's snowing not only in Jiejing, but also in many places in Qiguo, and the flood and the plague in Changzhou are coming......
There was a charcoal fire burning in the house of Fu'an Courtyard, and it was warm, and there was a weak sigh from the old man in the house, "The upper authorities have made an order, and the marriage of the girl is a certainty, I just hope that she can be a little measured, but don't learn from her mother, it will ruin the future of our Yan family." β
Yan Changxing's father Yan Changxing is a general who accompanied Emperor Ming to fight the country, and Yan Changshu, the second room of the Yan family, has been serving as a civilian in Beijing, and it can be said that the future is limitless.
Yan Yu's mother, Xu Su, is notoriously domineering.
After getting married, not only did she not know how to teach her husband and children, but she also did not allow her eldest son to take concubines, and ordinary people still had three wives and four concubines, why couldn't their Yan family marry?
also said unashamedly, "If you dare to take a concubine, I will dare to raise a face." β
It's just shocking!
