Chapter 1 Dream of Marriage
The drizzle was misty, and the rain was sprinkled like a fine needle, splashing a layer of mist like a white veil. In the mist, the attic located on the bank of the marriage river is faintly visible. The three big characters of "Marriage Pavilion" of the dragon flying and phoenix dance are vigorous and powerful.
I pushed open the door to the attic and watched as the "I" walked down the antique stairs step by step, the white gauze skirt leaving an afterimage in the air.
The slender figure disappeared around the corner. I walked after it and watched as the white, smooth hands pushed open the heavy door.
I knew I was dreaming, but I didn't want to believe that I was in a dream. I watched dumbfoundedly, speechless.
That's "me".
The girl has a beautiful face and fair skin, as if it can be broken by blowing. A pair of bright and clean eyes, smart and clear, but as if with a smile, everything is eclipsed. With slightly pursed red lips, slender willow eyebrows, and a white face lined with a plain white organza dress, she is like a fairy who fell into the south of the Yangtze River from a painting.
The speed of "I" was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the light behind the door. Slightly stunned, a familiar and unfamiliar feeling hit my heart.
This time······
Can I ······
The door is closing. I hurried along, only to see a blinding light, and then everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.
However, my environment has changed dramatically.
It's the long, endless wooden bridge again.
It's the lush trees again.
It's the misty clouds again.
All this is too real, and it is too unreal.
I try to catch up with the "me" in front of me. Suddenly, I stopped. Seeing that it is no longer the verdant of that patch.
It was a cherry blossom forest.
A piece of pink and white, out of place with the previous verdant. This cherry blossom blooms brilliantly, as if everything in the world is overshadowed by it. When the wind passes, the cherry blossoms fall one after another, and they dance beautifully in mid-air, and the first dance that leaves the branches is dancing all over the country.
Yanran wants to smile at the east wall, and finally doubts that the begonias are over. The color is not sparing the dirty fat powder, and the wind god is partial to Qiluo incense.
I watched the "I" trot up to a woman, walked up a few steps, and tried to grab her, only to find that my hand had passed through the hand of the girl in front of me!
The woman who was sitting at the stone table reading quietly raised her head, smiled, and said to "me", "Wanjin, have you learned that tune?" ”
Her eyes should have been on the "me", but I felt that she seemed to ······ You're looking at me.
I felt a chill in my back.
"Master! I'm not lazy! This time, you're satisfied! That "I" smiled like a flower and was full of confidence. Those bright eyes smiled like a crescent moon. That smile, like the winter sun, was obviously not dazzling, but it stabbed my eyes.
I wouldn't have such a smile now.
"How many times have you said, you are a girl, you have to be reserved, what is this? Has Master taught you in vain for so many years? The woman frowned slightly, said a little reproachfully, and then, her hand flipped over, and a guqin appeared in her hand. It carefully placed the instrument on the stone table, gazing at each string on it. The eyes are full of autumn water, and there seems to be an indescribable emotion.
"Let's play."
It's still that indifferent voice. The tone was flat, but the voice seemed to have a kind of magic, as if it were a combination of all the beautiful sounds in the world.
"I" was not too surprised, just nodded obediently, carefully took the piano, lowered his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment, and then slowly plucked the strings.
I rushed almost irrepressibly and pushed the "me" away.
"Don't!"
However, my body actually passed through her. I turned my head, took a few steps back, and muttered in disbelief, despair, "Don't ......"
It's the mournful melody again, like weeping and complaining. I only felt inexplicably depressed in my heart when I heard it, as if a strange emotion came to my heart.
Suddenly, the woman at the stone table took out a jade flute, put it to her lips, and played it gently. The sound of the flute is like water, tactful but full of sadness. When I think about it a long time later, I only think that this jade Xiao is a life talisman.
"Don't! Stop it! Don't bounce off!······"
It was this song, "Marriage Continuation", that pushed me to no return.
When the last note fell miserably, the guqin actually emitted a bright green light, and gradually, the light became stronger and stronger······
"Don't!" Finally shouted. When I opened my eyes, I felt a little discouraged. If I hadn't played that "Marriage Continuation" at the beginning, I wouldn't have come to this terrifying imperial era of murder without blinking-the Qing Dynasty.
"Miss, but you're having nightmares again?" The maid next to me gently brushed the peach blossoms on her shoulders for me, seemingly talking to herself, but as if she was telling me, "Miss is about to enter the palace so soon, Chu Lan is really reluctant." ”
I smiled and got up from my chair, somehow falling asleep on a chair in the courtyard. I got up and walked into the inner room, went around behind a screen, and took out a large rosewood box and placed it on the table.
"Miss, you ······" My maid Chulan followed me in, and when she saw the box, she opened her mouth slightly and was a little surprised.
"Take the money. If you are still willing, Ming'er I will find a way to let you out of the house, and you will go to help Aunt Qin. "I took dozens of taels of silver and put them on the table. After a moment's thought, he took out a thick book from the bedside.
"Miss, this is ······" Chu Lan was even more surprised.
"What? Don't want to? "I stroked the writing, and I still felt a little reluctant in my heart. ruthlessly, he handed the book to Chu Lan, "Do one more thing for me." This is the essence of what I have learned in medicine for so many years, so you can leave it to Xian Xian. Let's just say that it was a gift from a wonderful hand doctor. ”
Chu Lan hesitated for a moment, but nodded obediently, "Yes, the slave obeys." ”
"Pack up and go." I waved her back down. Chu Lan didn't dare to slack off, and retreated respectfully. I turned around and walked into the courtyard, picked up the inconspicuous thin pages of a few pages that I had set aside, and sighed in my heart, I still have reservations, don't I?
My name is Dong Wanjin, and I was separated from my family when I was six years old. Later, Yin and Yang stumbled into the Marriage Pavilion located on the shore of the Marriage Lake, and was adopted by the Master's Marriage. In the past eight years, he has never stepped out of the marriage pavilion.
For eight years after I was six years old, I continued to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and medicine with my master, as if I was cultivated as an ancient lady. Until the age of fourteen, because of the song "Marriage Continuation", he inexplicably crossed into the body of Dong Ewanjin, the eldest daughter of the minister E Shuo during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.
That's right, it's crossing, or borrowing corpses to resurrect souls. I don't want to believe the facts, but since it happened, I can't change it.
Dong Ewanjin's mother was a female doctor and inherited the medical hall left by her master, and later this medical center was taken care of by her mother's younger sister. It wasn't until a year ago, when my mother died, that I, the daughter who had been abandoned by my biological father for many years, returned to the capital.
As for Dong Ewanjin's life experience and her mother's story, I, an outsider, have no way of knowing.
I took a sip of tea. At this time, a little maid came in with a curtain and saluted me respectfully, "Miss, the old lady is waiting in the front hall." ”
I stood up, and I didn't have to guess why. Two years ago, the second lady of this house, Dong Ejinhui, was selected for the draft, but by coincidence, who knew that a year later, Dong Ejinhui died of illness. At that time, the matter had been decided and it was irreparable, and E Shuo was afraid that the queen mother would blame her, so he came up with a way to let me enter the palace under Jinhui's name. And time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is about to enter the palace.
"Let's go." With a faint command, I took the lead out of the courtyard. What should come, in the end, still has to come.
"My daughter has seen Amma, Eniang, and Auntie." Taking a deep breath, I slightly supported the bead hairpin on my head, and raised my feet into the main hall.
"Get up." Eshuo turned his back to me and spoke in a cold tone.
"Yes."
Looking around, the furnishings are still the same as before. E Shuo waved his hand to signal the lady on the side to step back, and then turned around, "Are you ready?" ”
"My daughter is ready." I looked at the beautiful woman next to me. I saw that her eyebrows were picturesque and glamorous. This woman is the third room of Eshuo, named Chu Rou. The year before last, E Shuo met her when he went out to run errands and brought her into the house. Although he entered the house not long ago, he gave birth to a daughter for E Shuo, that is, my fifth sister - Dong E Ruancheng. Since she entered the house, she has been quite favored. Just today, E Shuo would rather let his wife step down than keep her, which is enough to see E Shuo's trust in her.
I sighed and looked back at the slender figure in the distance. Since Jinhui's poor health, Madame's face has become more and more haggard. Now that Jinhui has been gone for a year, she is also getting thinner, which is in stark contrast to the bright and beautiful when I first came here. In the past year, she has done her best to take care of the affairs of the house, and she has never complained about the concubines of Eshuo. Even I didn't express the slightest displeasure at my arrival. It's a pity that such a woman ended up like this.
"No one knows who you are, does they?" Eshuo turned his head to look directly at me, interrupting my thoughts.
"Father can rest assured. This matter, the daughter is 100% sure, whether it is a wonderful hand doctor or Dong E Wanjin, it will definitely not be passed on. I lowered my eyes.
"Master, Miss, please use it slowly." Chu Rou handed over the two teacups separately and said coquettishly.
E Shuo glanced at her and said gently, "I'm sorry for you." ”
I just smiled and thought to myself that nothing should happen to me. Just wanted to retire, he heard E Shuo say, "Do you know, who else is going to enter the palace this time?" ”
It looks like there are some ladies with heads and faces this time. I pondered it again and again, and said, "My daughter doesn't know, and I still hope that my father will tell me." ”
"Tong Jia Qingyang, the Han Army inlaid with the Yellow Flag, the first-class duke, the leader of the Han Army's Blue Flag, the daughter of Tong Tulai; Borzigit Nishang, the sister of the current Queen's Mother······"
"The daughter understands what her father meant." I interrupted softly. Tong Jia Qingyang······ Tong Jia······ I always feel that this surname seems to be a little familiar.
That's right······
"This time, your sister, Dong E Qingyun, the daughter of Ada Ha Panbadu, will also enter the palace." E Shuo said lightly, "You have always been delicate and know how to work step by step, and you two sisters will have to support each other in the future." ”
I chuckled to myself. I'm just cautious and called one step at a time, those palace ladies······ Could it be that he is scheming? No, no, no, a little more exaggerated····· Cunning?
"Got it?" E Shuo stared at me and put down the teacup coldly, a little displeased.
"My daughter understood, and my daughter retired." I quickly stood up, saluted, and turned to stand back. As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Chu Lan standing at the door. As soon as he saw me come out, he hurriedly pounced, "Miss, it's okay!" ”
My heart warmed and I smiled, "What? I'm afraid that my aunt and father will eat me? Let's go. ”
Chu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and followed me back to the courtyard. I looked up at the sky, for a long time, before I spoke, "Tell Xian Xian that in the future, she will be my disciple of the Wonderful Healing Immortal." Also, tell her to let her take the token to Jiangnan, and the medical hall there will be handed over to her. ”
"Miss ······"
"Just take it as compensation."
