In the ninth year of Chang'an, it was slightly cold in early spring.
I'm fifteen years old, and I still have five months to go.
My mother sent the coachman Yang Bo and the girl Xuan'er all the way to Yunwu Mountain in Jinling to pick me up and take me back to the Su family in Yangzhou.
I have been dependent on my master in Yunwu Mountain since I was a child, and the Su family is just two cold and unfamiliar words to me, not my home.
Rao is the Su family's wealth rival country, famous in the south of the Yangtze River, luxury and prosperity, can not match my Yunwu Mountain bamboo fence hut, food and drink of peace and happiness.
Jiangnan is rich, one-year-old Sheng, several counties forget hunger, brocade cloth, clothes cover the world. The Su family is the richest man in Jiangnan, almost dominating the brocade industry in Jiangnan, prevailing in the world, and has the reputation of "seven people in Jiangnan and one Su". The Su family's unique pick-dyed and woven colorful flowing cloud brocade, the color is brilliant, the skills are ingenious, and it is respected by 10,000 people, and it is also used as a tribute to the imperial court, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold among the people. The Su family has land under its name, countless shops, and business all over the world.
As the saying goes, the rich rival the country.
There is a saying among the people that "you can't be rich for three generations". The Su family is quite strict with their children's upbringing. The family business has been passed down through several generations, but instead of declining, it has flourished in my father's generation, and it has prospered like never before.
The man of the Su family studied literature at the age of three, entered the market at the age of nine, followed the major shopkeepers, ran around, suffered hardships, and tasted the hardships of life. And in life, he also knows how to advocate frugality, and often sleeps with the guys in the store. At the age of twelve, you can participate in business dealings and decision-making, and at the age of fifteen, you can get a share of the silver taels, and the store will be in charge of your own business, independent management, and self-financing.
And the daughter of the Su family is just the opposite, no matter how she is a concubine, she was born with brocade clothes and jade food, like jewels. If you are sensible, you will have a well-known qin, chess, calligraphy and painting master in Jiangnan, and teach him carefully. Needle cheating female worker, lyrics and music, dancing and dancing, proficient in everything.
The daughter of the Su family is famous all over the world for her talent, and everyone in the world praises her knowledge of books and etiquette, and IKEA and Ikea are suitable for rooms. How many wealthy families are vying to marry, and they are proud to hire the daughter of the Su family as their daughter-in-law.
As the daughter of the Su family, I was very proud of it at first. In the eyes of the world, get rid of the humble status of the businessman's daughter, climb the powerful family, seek more money for the Su family's business, and consolidate the status of the overlord in Jiangnan.
In addition to the wife of the main room, my father once married a nine-room concubine, and I heard that my grandmother also gave a few girls in the room. The backyard is lively, and my biological mother is one of my father's many warblers and swallows, ranking ninth among many aunts.
My aunt is lowly, and the same is true in Su Mansion. Since the day she landed, the daughter of Sufu broke off the relationship with her aunt, and recorded it in the name of the lady in charge, calling the eldest lady her mother and raised by her mother herself, and her biological aunt was not allowed to be too close to her daughter.
When Aunt Nine was pregnant with me, she was my father's new favorite, except for the fifteenth day of the new year every month, staying in my mother's courtyard, and almost all the other days and nights by Aunt Jiu's side. As a direct result, I was born prematurely, the size of a tanuki, delicate and weak, and I was often sick when I was still an infant, and I couldn't pour those bitter potions, and I was dying several times. The doctors all asserted that they were born with a deficiency and could not be raised. The aunts in the house gloated and comforted her, don't bother anymore.
When Aunt Nine gave birth to me, she hurt her body and couldn't raise her again, so she was very dedicated to me. I heard that my master has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, and has the ability to heal the dead, flesh and bones, and bring the dead back to life. begged my father for permission, and he traveled thousands of miles to bring me to Yunwu Mountain to beg my master for help.
The master said that although I was weak when I was young, I was also exquisite, round and jade, well-behaved and lovely. So she has never been stained with mortal dust at a glance, left me in Yunwu Mountain, carefully conditioned for me, away from the intrigue in the backyard of the Su family, and I also ended up with a clean and happy childhood.
On weekdays, there are correspondence between the mountains and the house, and my aunt missed me when I was seven years old, and I came to visit her once, and I had the impression that she looked gentle and virtuous, especially a pair of bright eyes that were clear and transparent, and a pool of spring water. The master said that such a woman's mind must be exquisite and intelligent, and she can understand the world.
I was never able to get close to her, even though I knew she was helpless. But I don't feel a bit of motherhood in her. What I rely on more is my master, a holy hand of the apricot forest who lives in seclusion.
The master said, the daughter of the Su family is famous all over the world, and you have reached the age of marriage.
Let's go back!
I tried all my means, coquettish, cheating, kowtowing, begging, the master was ruthless, ignored it, and finally only promised me to come to Yangzhou City to see me on that day.
"There are many Su families, it is inevitable to intrigue, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, don't be so willful." The master stroked my bun and spoke bitterly
I was crying so hard that I couldn't control myself, I clutched her sleeves and shook my head desperately, refusing to let go.
"Qingwu, I'd rather marry ordinary people's families, and talk to each other about mulberry and hemp. Don't envy the emperor's caged bird, don't be a flower in a rich vase. Everything is a mirror, only affection is important. You are Bing Xue and smart, and the master hopes that you will not be blinded by the prosperity of the world, get rid of the fate of the daughter of the Su family, and find someone who treats you sincerely. ”
My eyes were red and swollen, and I could barely cry.
The master ruthlessly broke my hand, turned around and walked resolutely, dressed in white without staining the dust, and the clothes were fluttering, as if he wanted to go away, abandon me in this three zhang red dust, and from then on with me in heaven and earth.
I panicked in my heart and was lonely, afraid that I would never see each other again.
Follow suit.
In the blur of tears, she turned around and waved her sleeves to me, Let's go, the master promised to see you.
I reluctantly got into the carriage. Looking back from the rear window, the master was standing alone at the foot of the mountain, looking in my direction, the figure was indescribably lonely and gloomy, I couldn't help but feel sad after all, and tears fell like rain again.
This does not bode well.
