Chapter 1: Chongxi
In the spring of the twenty-fifth year of Zhenkang of the Great Chu Dynasty, the spring sun was bright and the spring breeze was warm in the capital.
In the back garden of the princess's mansion, the lake willows surround the embankment, and the golden waves shine. As soon as the wind passes, the thin willow silk sways with the wind, and the white pear blossoms, pink peach blossoms, and gorgeous begonia flowers fall like rain......
It's a great spring, a colorful world.
In the peach forest, two children were squatting under the tree and whispering, and a big yellow dog was sitting next to them. The faint sound of silk music and firecrackers made them and the big dog look at the dense cornices in the distance from time to time.
They were all white-toothed and red-lipped, gorgeously dressed, looked alike, and had unusually serious expressions. It's just that the little boy is tall and fat, and at first glance he is a strong boy. The little girl, on the other hand, was thin and small, her face was pale, and she felt much smaller than the big dog on the side. Although the two children have a big difference in size, they are twins, and they are six years old this year.
The little girl curled her pink mouth and said, "Why don't you let me go to see the bride, aren't you curious about our new sister-in-law?" ”
The little boy's eyebrows furrowed like a little old man, and he snorted angrily, "What's so good, the bride that the third brother married is not the original bride, and he has changed it." ”
The little girl said, "They all say that this bride can save her grandfather, she must be better than the original bride, right?" ”
The little boy was entangled for a moment and said, "I don't know if she's capable, but I know that the third brother is very unhappy to marry her." ”
The little girl didn't understand anymore and asked, "Isn't marrying a new daughter-in-law a happy event, why is the third brother unhappy?" ”
The little boy said in a good way, "He doesn't like it, of course he's not happy." ”
The little girl said again, "The bride can save grandpa, how can the third brother not like it?" ”
The little boy was frightened when he heard this, and quickly put his little fat finger on his mouth and shouted, "Sister, the third brother doesn't like this bride, don't say it, if the elders know, they will not like the third brother, and they will not like us." ”
The little girl quickly covered her mouth with her little hands.
The two exchanged words for a while, and then walked out of the peach forest hand in hand, and crossed the stone bridge over the lake. They glanced at the courtyard closest to the Mirror Lake, which was hidden among the red flowers and green trees, and a small stream that led from the lake meandered into it and then flowed out at the other end. It was Lan Ting Chau, and the bride was there.
The little girl looked at Lan Tingzhou blankly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Lan Tingzhou is much bigger than the Qingfeng Courtyard where we live, and the scenery is also good." The grandmother gave it to the third brother and the new sister-in-law, indicating that the grandmother began to like the third brother. ”
The little boy said hatefully, "Silly sister, grandmother doesn't like the third brother, she is compensating the third brother." A yard, no matter how good it is, can't be compared with a daughter-in-law. ”
He lowered his body and patted the big dog and said, "Flag Chief, let's go." He took his sister's little hand and walked down a flower path, and the big dog followed them with his tail flicking.
This day is March 20, and Jiang Zhanwei, the grandson of the eldest princess of Changting, married Lu Man, the second girl of the Lu family. From the door-to-door kiss to today's marriage, it only took five days.
However, even if Jiang Zhanwei is a grandson, as the daughter of a military attache from the fifth rank without any foundation, she is also high. Even Chong Xi made many people jealous, and the Lu family climbed into such a good family.
It was not yet dark, and the guests were eating a wedding banquet in the hall, when suddenly a terrible scream came from Lan Ting Zhou, piercing the sky above the eldest princess's mansion.
It turned out that the bride sent her subordinates back and actually hanged herself in the room.
Although the bride was rescued, the people in the eldest princess's mansion were angry. Especially the eldest princess, she was so angry that she fainted at that time.
The first thing the eldest princess said when she woke up was, "Go, go and return that slut, and die to go back to her mother's house." This palace wants to see if she is unwilling to marry into our house, and whether the Lu family will keep her! As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of the old colt who still had a breath left, and hurriedly said, "That slut doesn't want to marry Zhan Wei, and this palace is not as good as she wants." Leave her behind, even if the horse master's illness is cured, she will not be allowed to leave, and she will die here......"
The reason why he hurriedly became this family and married such a low-profile daughter was because at the beginning of this month, Jiang Lao Ma fell from his horse and was seriously injured and fell unconscious. In addition to the faint pulse, the heart was still a little hot, as if it was dead. After many imperial doctors saw it, they all said that the old horse broke his head and had soul escape, which could not be cured, so he was prepared for the future.
The eldest princess's son, Master Jiang, Second Master Jiang, and Third Master Jiang went to ask monks and Taoist priests to take turns to do rituals and dojos for a few days, but it was useless.
The eldest princess had no choice but to hang the old horse's life with medicinal soup, ginseng soup and broth, and begged Master Xinghai, a senior monk of Guangji Temple. The master rarely bought the eldest princess a face, pinched his fingers, and also said that Jiang Lao Ma had no medicine.
When the eldest princess and others were heartbroken, the master said that in the southwest of the capital, if you can find a woman who belongs to the tiger and happens to be born at seven o'clock in the morning, the old horse may still be saved.
Most of the people living in the southwest of the capital were merchants, and there were also a few low-ranking officials. It is said that the daughter of this kind of family is not worthy of the lord of the eldest princess's mansion. But now that things are in a hurry, in order for the old horse to recover, if there is a woman born at that hour, no matter what the circumstances, she must be married back to the house.
The eldest princess of Changting hurriedly asked her three sons to inquire secretly. After two days of hard work, I found out that there is really a tiger in the southwest of the capital, and an unmarried woman who was born at seven o'clock in the hour, is the second girl of the Lu family, her name is Lu Man, and she is just fifteen years old this year.
Lu Fangming, the eldest son of the Lu family, is the governor of the General Political Envoy Department, a minor official from the seventh grade. The second son, Lu Fangrong, served as the general manager of Wupin in Wuzhou, Liao Province. And Lu Man is Lu Fangrong's eldest daughter.
Although the Lu family has a lower family background, it is an official eunuch family in the end. Such a family's daughter marries a concubine and is happy for the old concubine, and she can barely get by.
But Lu Man's maternal grandfather He Huang was beheaded because he offended Queen Wang, who was still a concubine, more than ten years ago, and her biological mother He was abandoned by the Lu family many years ago.
Because Lu Man has not been taught by his mother since he was a child, and his father is not in the capital, he has developed a pungent temperament that is not afraid of heaven and earth. Neighbors and guests could often hear her disobeying stepmother, scolding her sister and her subordinates. Her reputation in that area was so bad that she was fifteen years old, and she hadn't talked about her family yet.
He Huang was a former judge of the Tai Hospital, a gynecology department, and often walked in the harem when he was alive, and this person was also known by the princess of Changting.
Lu Man's birth is not only low, she is the daughter of a criminal courtier, and her grandfather offended the current queen. Such a person, the princess of Changting and her three sons are not happy. What's more, her reputation and character are still so bad.
