Chapter 1: Wedges
In the twenty-seventh year of Tianhe, Dayan Kingdom, Dragon City.
Tonight is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival of Dayan Kingdom, and the market is very lively with lights everywhere.
Some young ladies from wealthy families who rarely go out also take advantage of this national festival to come out to play.
Twelve-year-old Yun Xuan has long been yearning for the world outside the yard for a long time, but usually her father and mother are in charge of it tightly and don't let Yun Xuan run out to play.
Besides, the ladies with better family education are generally not out of the door, so Yun Xuan did not willfully disobey her father's words, and obediently stayed at home every day to follow the master to read and write.
It's rare to see today's Lantern Festival, Yun Xuan begged her eldest brother, second brother, and third brother to take her to the street to play, with three elder brothers there, Master Yun finally agreed to let Yun Xuan go out to see the world, but before going out, he still told his three sons to take care of Yun Xuan's younger sister.
Yun Xuan grew so big, and it was the first time she stepped out of her own door, and she was full of curiosity and interest in the outside world. Yun Xuan followed the three elder brothers on the street, her eyes kept looking around, and she felt that everything she saw was very strange.
Along the way, the four brothers and sisters talked and laughed, and from time to time they started to laugh cheerfully.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, look, that lantern is so beautiful." Yun Xuan pointed to the lantern on a stall and shouted happily.
"If you like it, the second brother will help you win it back." Yun Chen touched his sister's head dotingly and smiled confidently.
"Yes, yes." Yun Xuan clapped her hands and applauded.
The three of them walked up to the booth and looked at the lantern fans.
Yun Chen read softly: "There are no roots, no leaves, no flowers, and a melon bears under the eaves, although it is ripe and cannot be eaten, it is eaten after the first month." ”
Yun Xuan tilted her head and thought for a while, and asked, "What's the answer?" Xuan'er couldn't guess. ”
Yun Chen thought for a while, and said to the boss with a smile: "The mystery is a lantern." ”
"This son, you got it right." The boss smiled and took off the lantern to hand it to him.
Just as Yun Chen stretched out his hand to take the lantern from the boss's hand, an abrupt voice sounded next to him.
"Miss Ben wants this lantern."
A girl, also about eleven or twelve years old, snatched the lantern directly from the boss's hand.
"Miss, this lantern is so beautiful." The girl's maid said flatteringly.
"Isn't it pretty, can Miss Ben be able to look at it?" The girl smiled coquettishly and looked at the lantern in her hand, not caring at all that her lantern had been snatched from someone else's hand.
"Hey, who are you, why are you so rude? This lantern was won back by my second brother for me. Yun Xuan glared at her angrily.
"Didn't you hear Miss Ben just say I want it?" She squinted at Yun Xuan.
"This girl, this lantern was won back by Xia, please return the lantern to Xia." Yun Chen looked at the arrogant, domineering, brutal and willful girl in front of him, and he didn't have a good impression of her at all.
"Give it back to you? Joke! The girl sneered, "Do you know who Miss Ben is?" Dare to grab something from Miss Ben, I really don't know whether to live or die. ”
Yun Xuan is the daughter of Lord Yin of Longcheng Mansion and the only daughter of the Yun family.
"I don't care who you are, give me back the lantern." After saying that, he rushed over and grabbed the lantern in her hand.
"Bold! Someone! As soon as the girl shouted, more than a dozen followers immediately rushed out behind her, surrounding Yun Xuan and the four of them at once.
After all, the elder brothers were a few years older than Yun Xuan and knew the seriousness of the matter. Looking at this battle, these entourages were not ordinary domestic servants at first glance, and they all knew in their hearts that this girl's identity was not simple.
Yun Jing politely said to her, "This girl, may I ask your surname?" ”
"Hmph, Miss Ben's surname is Lin, and the current prime minister is my father, what's the matter? Scared, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, the three brothers of the Yun family all changed their faces suddenly.
Yun Xuan usually has very few contacts with outsiders, and he doesn't know much about the level of official positions, so he secretly thinks to himself: Your father is an official, and my father is also an official, who is afraid of whom?
"Your father is a great prime minister, isn't he? My dad is also the Yin of Longcheng Mansion. ”
As soon as Yun Xuan said this, it immediately caused the girl to laugh, "Haha, I'm laughing to death, a small Fu Yin, a small official with a big sesame seed is embarrassed to compare it with my father, you say, isn't it funny?" ”
"You!" Yun Xuan's face turned red, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
The entourage around the girl all laughed exaggeratedly, and the three brothers of the Yun family also blushed.
She laughed for a while before she stopped laughing, looked at Yun Xuan's four brothers and sisters contemptuously, and said mockingly: "It's really beyond my strength!" ”
Yun Xuan scolded angrily with red eyes: "You...... You're a...... Hmmm......"
Before Yun Xuan's words were finished, his mouth was covered by the third brother Yun Jun with his palm.
Yun Jing saluted the girl, "Today is our brother and sister who have eyes and don't know Taishan, and offended Miss Lin, and I ask Miss Lin to forgive me." ”
"Humph!" The girl walked up to Yun Xuan and said to Yun Jun, "Let her go." ”
Yun Jun let go of Yun Xuan, she stared at Yun Xuan with a smile, "What did you scold me just now?" ”
Although Yun Xuan is also a spoiled girl, she is not stupid, looking at the attitude of her brothers, she also knows that she can't afford to offend the person in front of her.
"I ...... I didn't scold anything. Yun Xuan whispered, but there was still a look of unconvincing on her face.
"Smack!" She suddenly slapped Yun Xuan in the face, "Hmph, little slut!" ”
Yun Xuan has never been beaten when she is so big, let alone in such a crowd, this slap stunned Yun Xuan's head.
Yun Xuan felt extremely humiliated.
Yun Jun clenched his fists beside Yun Xuan, gritting his teeth and enduring.
Yun Jing and Yun Chen didn't feel good either, but they still didn't dare to offend her, so they just said to Yun Xuan: "Little sister, apologize to Miss Lin quickly." ”
Yun Xuan took a few deep breaths and whispered, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry!" ”
"What do you say? Inaudible. "She was clearly deliberately making things difficult.
"Miss Lin, I'm sorry!" Yun Xuan gritted her teeth and spoke again.
"Did you hear that?" She asked her entourage.
"We didn't hear anything but mosquitoes!" The attendants spoke loudly and laughed incessantly.
There were more and more people watching the excitement on the street, and the faces of the three brothers of the Yun family became more and more ugly.
The girl looked at Yun Xuan proudly and arrogantly and smiled, "Are you a mosquito?" The voice is so small, who can hear it! ”
Yun Xuan felt extremely humiliated and aggrieved, so she simply broke the jar and shouted: "Miss Lin, I'm sorry!" Miss Lin, I'm sorry! Miss Lin, I'm sorry! Miss Lin, I'm sorry! ”
Yun Xuan shouted a few times in one breath, and then she snorted coldly with satisfaction.
"Hmph, count you as acquaintances." She handed the lantern to her maid ring, and then walked over Yun Xuan, "Let's go." ”
Yun Xuan waited for the group of them to go a little farther away, and then slowly turned around and looked at the back of the girl walking farther and farther, her eyes full of hatred.
Yun Xuan knew that the humiliation that the girl gave her today would never be forgotten in her life.
I thought that this matter would pass like this, but I didn't expect that a few days later, their father Yunjin came back with a face like ash.
"I was impeached by Prime Minister Lin Cheng in the middle of the court, and the emperor ordered me to be transferred to Izumo City as the governor."
At the moment when she left Dragon City with the whole family, Yun Xuan secretly swore to herself in her heart that she would be the most noble and powerful woman in the world in the future, and never let people humiliate her and her family so much, never let herself and her family suffer this kind of grievance again, and never be angry again!
