Yuqin, who was in the prime of her life, met someone she liked, and I was happy for her from the bottom of my heart. But who knows what the outcome will be?

It's like the young man I met when I was twelve, like a flash in the pan, never to be found, like a dream. Only the lost jade plaque reminded me that it was not a dream.

When Yuqin really went to the lord and asked the lord to go to Prince Xiang's mansion to propose marriage, I admired her from the bottom of my heart. But how could the old man follow her temperament, only to think that he was too doting and made Yuqin crazy.

But Yuqin was very serious, she began to be intoxicated with female popularity, saying that she wanted to make a wedding dress by herself, and wore it to propose like Bogol. Every time she accidentally punctured her finger, she put it in her mouth and sucked it, and continued to embroider, and I was very distressed watching from the side.

"Sister, don't embroider, I heard that the wedding dresses made by the Jiangnan Embroidery Building in the city are ingenious and exquisite, why don't we go there and buy one." Jiangnan embroidery building is the largest silk and satin cloth village in the capital, and the embroidery skills inside are also very good, and the embroidered works are said to be comparable to those used by the queen mother in the palace. So I suggested that Yuqin pick a favorite one and buy it. But Yuqin said: "I didn't make it myself, what's the point?" But we can take a look at their designs. ”

So we secretly went to the Jiangnan Embroidery Building, where all kinds of silk and satin are dazzling, and the ready-to-wear is also outstanding, with different designs, each with its own beauty. Yuqin looked at this one happily, touched that one, and when she saw a wedding dress embroidered with gold silk, her eyes suddenly lit up. I also like the wedding dress, the material is the fashionable Suzhou embroidery in Beijing, and the lifelike phoenix coiled on it is embroidered with golden gold silk. The collar and sleeves are trimmed with gold wraps. Simple and atmospheric, yet gorgeous.

Yuqin called out to the owner of the embroidery building, pointed to the wedding dress and said, "Bother to prepare the fabric and silk thread for that wedding dress for me." The boss looked at Yuqin and said, "If the girl likes this wedding dress, she can buy it, so why bother doing it yourself." ”

"I don't want ready-to-wear, I want to make my own. Don't you have money and don't make it? With that, Yuqin slapped the money bag in front of the boss.

"Girl, if you are not an experienced and skilled embroiderer, it will be difficult to embroider this lifelike phoenix with gold wire." The boss smiled and explained to Yuqin.

"It's okay, I can learn it." Seeing Yuqin's insistence, the boss said helplessly: "We don't have much embroidered gold silk, and there are customized ready-to-wear clothes to use, otherwise the girl will come back after a while." Yuqin listened but was unwilling, and insisted that the boss sell the gold wire to her now, and after repeated begging, the boss helped Yuqin prepare the silk thread and silk. So Yuqin went home satisfied, and since then she has been studying how to embroider the phoenix with gold silk in the room.

I am sixteen years old, and the Zhang Mansion that was posted by the cinnabar approval document in the past has long ceased to exist and has been demolished and rebuilt.

Madame and my lord have already begun to arrange a marriage for me, and they want to find a proud husband for me. I understand the good intentions of the lord and his wife, and since I lost the jade plate when I went to Linyun Temple with my wife to incense when I was twelve years old, I have made up my mind to let go of the hatred and depression in my heart and start anew. So when Madame tentatively took out a few portraits for me to look at, I gladly accepted them. I think my father and mother's heavenly spirit must have wanted me to do the same.

Yuqin, who learned that my wife was marrying me for me, came to advise me to think twice.

"Liangxi, you haven't even seen the people on those portraits, let alone like them. You can't be happy with people you don't like. Looking at Yuqin chattering in front of me, I couldn't help but smile. I know she's just as good for me. She once said to me: "I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated." "But I know that in this world, men are inferior to women, three wives and four concubines are just ordinary things, how can there be single-minded love, in the end it is just a dream. Like my father, though he loved my mother, he also had concubines. Although the lord loves his wife alone, he can't refuse the emperor's marriage. Although I never stayed in her room, I still saw the lonely look on her face.

Eventually, I was betrothed to one of my master's protégés. It is said that he is an upright and kind person, and he is good at birth. I think it's good, I just want to be safe for the rest of my life. Just when my wife was happily preparing a dowry for me, the lord received a holy edict: The emperor is the heir of the country, and he will select the best girls and the harem. All the female dependents of officials above the fifth grade, those of appropriate age can enter the palace for selection.

Only Yuqin in Dong Efu meets the requirements and must participate in the draft. For this reason, the master called Yuqin to go to the study to talk, but Yuqin ran out of the study crying.

"Liangxi, I don't want to enter the palace draft. You know, I have someone I like, I don't want to enter the palace to be one of the emperor's many concubines......" When Yuqin cried in front of me, my heart softened, and I blurted out without thinking about anything: "Don't cry, I'll go to the draft instead of you." "After finishing speaking, I realized that the emperor was my enemy, and I was immediately entangled.

"Really?" Yuqin stopped sobbing when he heard this, and there was a bitter gourd face in an instant, "But in this case, you will sacrifice your lifelong happiness for me, I don't want to see you unhappy." "Every word she said fell on my heartstrings, and after all, she always treated me with all her heart, and everything I wanted to do for her was worth it.

"Don't worry, I don't look as good as my sister, I must not be able to enter the emperor's eyes, I can come back then, even if I am selected, it is better than marrying a poor scholar." Originally, I didn't like that scholar either. I took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears and reasoned with her.

"What you said makes sense, Liangxi, when the time comes, you will be ugly, and the other show girls must be carefully dressed, so you will inevitably lose the selection, and you can go home." Listening to my words, Yuqin became happy, looking at her smiling face, I am no longer entangled, no matter how bumpy the road ahead will be, I will walk leisurely.

So after dinner, I went with Yuqin to ask the old man for permission.

"Master, you just let me enter the palace instead of Yuqin. Liangxi has been raised and cultivated by the old lady since she was a child, not to mention that Liangxi's life was also saved by the old man and Sister Yuqin. Liangxi has always wanted to repay the favor, but there is no chance, this time it should be regarded as a little kindness from Liangxi's Dong E family. "I knelt before the old lady and spoke earnestly.

"Liangxi, I never asked you to repay me any kindness, I grew up watching you grow up, and you are like my own child." The old man said and sighed: "I am not willing to let Yuqin enter the palace, but this is Yuqin's life, and you should stop talking nonsense about entering the palace for her, this is a big crime of bullying the king." Besides, how do you ask me to explain to my protégé? After the old man finished speaking, he tried to help me up, but I pushed his hand away. I have made up my mind, and I will definitely convince the master.

"Master, outsiders have always treated me as your daughter, so how can I be guilty of bullying the king? As for the scholar, the master had no choice but to compensate for Liangxi. I also ask the master to fulfill one of Liangxi's wishes, otherwise Liangxi will never be able to kneel. ”

"You are such a good boy, from today on, whether you stay in the palace or not, you are my good daughter, and I will do my best to protect you in this life." After the old man finished speaking, he helped me up, and his eyes were a little moist.

"Amma, do you mean to recognize Liangxi as your goddaughter?"

"No, Liangxi is my own daughter like you."
