1 Rise from the dead
In the ninth year of Changle in the Dayin Dynasty, the fourteenth month of winter.
A corner of the forest mansion in Nan'an County, Qiyun Building.
A young girl leaned under the window with a hand stove wrapped tightly, looking at the falling snow outside the house, faintly distracted, and a pair of big eyes that were radiant on weekdays were now a little absent-minded and stagnant.
The maidservant Ah Miao cleaned up the bed, saw her sitting in the tuyere, hurriedly came over and closed the window, and then inevitably had a burst of broken thoughts.
"Miss, it's just a delicate son...... If you really can't let it go, when the general comes back, you can ask Your Majesty for a holy decree to give you a marriage, why do you have to suffer...... What a lot of sins......"
I've heard this many times since I woke up.
Gu Xiyue lightly hooked the corners of her lips, and turned her eyes to look at the polished bronze mirror on the side of the makeup.
A beautiful but unfamiliar face is printed in the mirror.
This face is not hers, but belongs to the original Miss Gu - Gu Xiyue, the only daughter of Gu Minzhi, the general of the Dayin Dynasty.
It is rumored that Miss Gu is an extremely domineering girl.
Even she had heard of it from far away in Sangli.
It's just that she never thought in her life that she would live one day as this Miss Gu.
Yes, she wasn't Miss Gu originally.
She was originally the only royal daughter of the Sang Li Kingdom of Dayin's vassals, the princess Ning Yuexi.
Because Emperor Dayin gave her a marriage to King Yong of Dayin, after getting the holy decree, she needed to enter the imperial city of Dayin Kyoto to thank her, but she didn't expect to encounter a rare avalanche on the way, and the cold mountain was like a whole collapse, and the overwhelming ice and snow rushed towards their convoy, just an instant, she was buried under the thick ice and snow.
woke up again in the chaos, and she became Miss Gu who was rejected and threw herself into the river.
“…… How cold it is in the glacier, Miss is angry again, you can't throw yourself into the river! I'm glad you're awake, if something happens...... What should I do with the maid and Sister Aman...... Boom ......"
The maid wiped her tears.
Yes, the glacier is so cold, how can you throw it into the river.
Gu Xiyue thought so.
Thinking of some memories related to Miss Gu that swept over after waking up yesterday, it drowned out the panic and incomprehension of being reborn with lightning speed, but made her calm down, and it took her a whole night to accept this bizarre fact.
Seeing that her face was still pale, Ah Miao couldn't help but worry: "Miss, is it still uncomfortable?" The maid said, this doctor of the Lin Mansion is still not good......"
Lin Mansion is Miss Gu's maternal grandfather's house.
A few years ago, not long after Miss Gu's mother died of illness, her grandfather, Mrs. Lin, also returned to the West, and she rarely came to the Lin Mansion after that.
This time, it was because Miss Gu's eldest cousin Lin Chen married a wife, and the general was going to Xishan to patrol the camp according to the system, so she was sent to her grandfather's house alone to watch the ceremony.
Not long after coming, Miss Gu and the sisters of the Lin Mansion went to the plum garden in the northern suburbs to enjoy the plum blossoms, and saw a son, so they suddenly went up to marry others, but naturally they were politely refused, and then I don't know what happened, Miss Gu fell into the cold and biting river, and the fragrance disappeared.
Instead, she was buried alive under the avalanche, and her eyes were opened in this body.
Everyone said that she couldn't think of throwing herself into the river.
The memories left by Miss Gu are scattered and chaotic, coming and going, and the beginning and end of this incident are not very clear.
Gu Xiyue rubbed her eyebrows, always feeling an indescribable resentment in her chest, ups and downs, difficult to calm down.
At this time, a small sound sounded outside the door, and after the curtain was over, the little maid who opened the curtain brought in an old grandmother.
Mama smiled when she saw the ceremony: "I heard that Miss Cousin has woken up, and our aunt and young lady are going back to their mother's house in Beijing today to return to Ning, so they specially ordered the old woman to come and take a look, and I hope that Miss will cherish it." ”
This "young lady" is the new sister-in-law Bai who has just married into the Lin Mansion.
Gu Xiyue bowed slightly: "Thank you brother and sister-in-law for your concern." ”
Mama hurriedly thanked her, and said that the two of them would return to Ning in a few days, and they must come to visit Yunyun in person, and then the little maid led them out.
After a while, everyone in the Lin Mansion who learned that she was awake also sent the people around them to visit, and hurriedly said some greetings.
It is not difficult to see how unavoidable Miss Gu is in this mansion, so much so that she is reluctant to even come over to take a look in person.
After coming and going like this, it was time for lunch to be considered to be clear.
The maidservant girl Aman brought the medicine bowl and waited for her to drink the medicine to ward off the cold.
The little maid who tied the curtain came in again to report: "Miss Cousin, Mama Li from Biyun Garden is here." ”
Speaking of Biyun Garden, an indifferent old lady appeared in Gu Xiyue's mind, that was the widow of Mrs. Lin, who disliked Miss Gu very much since she was a child.
This is also the reason why the father and daughter of the Gu family have been reluctant to go to the Lin Mansion since the old lady passed away.
As soon as Mama Li stepped into the door, she smelled a faint smell of medicine, and then looked at the girl who was a little haggard in front of her, and a trace of helplessness flashed on her face: "The old lady heard that Miss Cousin was awake, so she sent the old man to take a look - the old lady said that although the doctor is fine, the young lady is still very precious, and the weather is cold, so she will recuperate at home, don't call the old lady...... Worried with the general. ”
Mama Li's voice became quieter and quieter, and she stopped talking.
Gu Xiyue raised her eyes lightly: "What else does grandmother have to say?" ”
Mama Li pondered for a moment and said, "The old lady invited the eldest lady to go to the Cen Mansion, if it doesn't go well, the old lady wants to open some of the Lady." ”
The meaning of the words was vague, and Gu Xiyue had no clue for a while.
Mama Li saw that she was drooping her eyes, and she was not as crying and making trouble as she imagined, so she was inevitably relieved, and told the two maids to take good care of her Yunyun and withdrew.
Who knew that she had only left on her front feet, and there was a noise outside the house, and a girl in a blue jacket rushed in with tears, followed by a slightly older girl in a yellow jacket, looking panicked.
Gu Xiyue raised her eyes and saw that the person who came was Miss Gu's eldest uncle, the two daughters of the eldest master of the Lin family.
The one in yellow is Lin Man, the second daughter, and the one in blue is Lin Wei, the youngest daughter.
Lin Wei rushed into the house angrily, only to see Gu Xiyue sitting calmly on the soft couch, she couldn't help but feel angry and bloody, staring at her with a pair of tearful eyes, gritting her teeth and saying: "I don't know outside because of what you have become, you still don't change your face, you really deserve to be the first person to be shameless!" ”
Ah Man was furious when he heard this: "Bold, who gave you the courage to talk to our young lady like this!" ”
Lin Wei took a sip: "You young lady doesn't even want face, forcing my mother to kiss her for her, even if I say this, what can I do?" Have you called the general to cut off my head? ”
Gu Xiyue turned her eyes to look at her: "Say kiss? ”
Lin Wei was furious: "What are you pretending to be stupid? If you hadn't inexplicably wanted to provoke Gongzi Cen and cause rumors outside, would my mother still be able to say for me whether the marriage would be or not? What ugly thing did you do, and you didn't have any points in your heart? ”
The little girl Ah Man clenched her fists and secretly loosened her wrists.
However, the young lady of their family was unusually not as angry as usual.
