Chapter 1: Rebirth
At this time, not long after the third watch bell was struck, Jiang Yu opened her eyes suddenly in the dark, and her thin fingers pressed her undulating chest, panting again and again.
Jiang Yu slowly got up and sat on the bed, lifted the goose yellow gauze tent that hung softly, and Jin Yu also slid to the ground with her movements. The maidservant who was on vigil outside noticed the movement in the inner room, and hurried in with the candlesticks in her hand.
Didn't she be burned to death in the cold palace by Xiao Ze's order? But the furnishings here are very familiar to her, this is clearly her old boudoir!
Could it be that God has mercy? Didn't she die?
The maidservant cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Miss, but it's a nightmare?" ”
Jiang Yu calmed down a little, and barely made out the maid's face in the faint candlelight, only to feel a little unfamiliar: "You light all the candles in the house first, and then bring the mirror." The maidservant handed over a carved bronze mirror as she said, Jiang Yu stared at herself in the mirror in horror, and couldn't help but caress her cheeks, which was clear...... It's a childish child!
She lowered her voice: "Tell me, what time is it?" "
The maid's eyes widened, and she really couldn't understand why her own young lady suddenly asked such a question.
"Miss, today is the seventh day of the sixth month of the twenty-first year of Chongqing!"
Jiang Yu's hand suddenly loosened, and the bronze mirror fell to the ground, was she actually reborn? Chongqing 21 years...... Now she should be a twelve-year-old child, and she is not dead, but sixteen years ago! It's unbelievable that such a bizarre thing happened to her!
But since God has given her the opportunity to return to her first life, she will not live up to it, no matter what, in this life, she will definitely recover this debt from Jiang Wan and Xiao Ze.
Jiang Yu's biological mother An Furu was born in a Jiangnan family, An's generation is scholarly, and she is a well-known noble family in Jiangnan, but when it comes to Jiang Yu's maternal ancestor An Yide's generation, people are not prosperous, and only have an only daughter under her knees, An Yide loves this only daughter like a treasure, and only hates that she has no children under her knees.
According to the rules of the clan, women are not allowed to inherit the family business, and An Yide has no heirs, so he needs to choose one of the sons and nephews of the clan to succeed, but he is only afraid that behind him, his beloved daughter will be bullied, so he wholeheartedly chooses a young man for An Furu to rely on in the future.
Until Jiang Congwen came to the door to ask for marriage, An Yide saw that his character and appearance were all excellent choices, so he responded to this marriage, and gave him ten miles of red makeup, and the richness of the dowry was staggering, and the total amount was no less than 100,000 gold, so beautifully married An Furu into the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.
In the past, the two were newly married Yan'er, like honey blending oil, not long after, An Furu became pregnant, An Furu's wedding maid Wang Rubi recommended herself to serve Jiang Congwen on the pillow, and the two gave birth to a daughter.
It's a pity that Anfu is like a red face, leaving behind her six-year-old young daughter and dying early. The old woman Jiang took pity on Jiang Yu for losing her mother at a young age, so she raised her under her knees, but the old woman Jiang was old and her body was getting worse and worse, although she loved Jiang Yu, but she couldn't take care of her from time to time.
In her previous life, although she grew up in the boudoir like an ordinary noble daughter of a family, she was not ignorant of political affairs, Xiao Ze was the fourth son of Emperor Chongqing, not the eldest and not the eldest son, and her biological mother was from a humble background, although she had a good name, but she was not valued by Emperor Chongqing among the princes.
At that time, she loved Xiao Ze wholeheartedly, until Emperor Chongqing gave her the decree of marriage, which fulfilled her longing and made her overjoyed.
After that, she and Xiao Ze were newly married to Yan'er, and they should have mixed oil in honey, but they saw Xiao Ze being depressed day by day, and after many inquiries, she also understood that Emperor Chongqing did not value him, and most likely just wanted him to be a rich and idle king.
Xiao Ze was worried about this all day long, she was worried about Xiao Ze's empty ambition and couldn't show her strength, the dowry left by her mother in the past was all stored in the warehouse, and the key was kept by the old grandmother who married with An Furu, waiting for Jiang Yu to grow up and leave the cabinet and then add makeup to Jiang Yu, but the old lady died of a sudden illness somehow.
Because Jiang Yu was young at the time and did not understand the world, this dowry fell into the hands of Zhang Cenzhen, she was getting older, and she should have taken back her mother's dowry to take care of it by herself, until Wang Rubi took the throne, and coaxed Jiang Yu's marquis mansion to be tight, unable to get in and out, and couldn't stand Wang Rubi's crying and pleading, Jiang Yu agreed to Wang Rubi's dowry.
Wang Rubi will show Jiang Yu the account books every year, and the properties in several Zhuangzi should be thriving, but somehow they lose money year after year, and most of the money invested elsewhere is gone.
At that time, she didn't understand the things in the accounts, so she was casually fooled by Wang Rubi, and the rest of the money naturally went into Wang Rubi's pocket.
Later, this money was also married into the palace with her, but her dowry looked rich, but there was no background of the scholars. In the past, the antiques, calligraphy and painting treasures that her mother married were almost gone, and there were several Zhuangzi deeds in Beijing that later became Jiang Wan's private property.
However, there are only a few boxes of gold and silver jewelry and silver, but Jiang Congwen has a good face, and his daughter married into the palace, so naturally she can't be cold, although An Furu's dowry is not much left, but the dowry purchased by the Hou Mansion is also rich.
Later, for the sake of Xiao Ze's future, Jiang Yu simply discounted the remaining dowry, and all the silver taels obtained were handed over to Xiao Ze for officialdom and entertainment.
Xiao Ze was also angry at that time, and after several errands were done, he achieved results, and Emperor Chongqing gradually paid attention to him, giving Xiao Ze the opportunity to cultivate his cronies, which invisibly added a boost to Xiao Ze's plan to win the heir in the future.
Jiang Yu thought about the perfunctory wedding night, thinking that Xiao Ze was already very reluctant to marry her at that time, not to mention that he liked a gentle and petty woman like Jiang Wan, and in his eyes, she was just a willful and arrogant layman, but she still occupied the status of a wife, which naturally made him unhappy.
also blamed himself, he was blind and blind, and he married an inhuman, so he ended up like this.
Feeling bored, Jiang Yu waved her hand to signal the maid to step back, she sat on the edge of the couch, and pulled her favorite gauze tent for a while, recalling the past, and stayed awake all night.
The next morning, when the sun was faint, a maid brought warm water to serve Jiang Yu to change clothes and freshen up, and after some tossing, Jiang Yu sat in front of the dressing table, playing with an ivory comb.
"Miss, the second miss is asking to see you outside." Jiang Yu's thoughts were interrupted by this announcement, her movements froze, her eyes became cold, she didn't expect to meet Jiang Wan so soon, "Let her come in." ”
At this time, Jiang Wan was only eleven years old, her eyebrows were very delicate, but she was always timid when she looked at it, this face made people feel pity.
Jiang Yu tried her best to restrain the hatred in her eyes, and asked gently: "I don't know if the second sister is here, why are you here?" "There is a maid is serving tea, Jiang Yu wants to take the hand of the tea, she remembers that this maid is called Cai Qiong, in her previous life it was Jiang Wan's mother and daughter who put the eyeliner in her room, Cai Qiong is smart, quite clever, she is also very trusting, until she entered the palace, she has been with her, the concubine slipped that day, and she and Jiang Wan conspired to testify that Jiang Yu did it, and gave her a fatal blow. Later, she heard that Cai Qiong was transferred to take care of the sixth daughter of the emperor, and thought that her daughter died young, and it must have been Jiang Wan who instructed Cai Qiong to do it.
