Miss?!

This name, which had become a little unfamiliar, shocked Zhuang Meiyan, and she immediately opened the curtain and asked in a low voice, "Chunju, who do you say?"

Chunju was checking the injuries of the woman on the ground, and when she heard the question, she raised her head and replied, "Miss, it's the eldest lady, why didn't she stay in the Zhuang Mansion, why did she run out by herself?" Miss, are you okay? Don't move...... Hey, don't run!"

Zhuang Meiyan saw an unkempt woman running from the horse into an alley next to her in a panic with her head in her hands, although it was a flash, she could see clearly that the woman was the eldest lady of the Zhuang family, her eldest sister Zhuang Meiyu. Shu Ji Zhuang Meiyu has gone completely crazy, she was abandoned by her in-laws, rushed back to her parents' house, her own family also disliked her, she has always been arrogant and can't stand idleness, so she became crazy.

However, Zhuang Fu has been locking her in the garden for the sake of face, although she has fallen out of favor and cannot get the original scenery, but she can still take care of herself daily, why not live on the streets? Zhuang Meiyan was puzzled, so she got out of the carriage and walked down the alley with Chunju. The alleys are narrow and long, and the sky is getting darker.

Chunju helped her walk in the dark and cramped alleyway, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, she whispered to Zhuang Meiyan: "Miss, the eldest lady has disappeared, maybe we are wrong, let's go back." ”

Zhuang Meiyan said calmly: "It won't be wrong, that's her." There's only one exit and entrance here, so where can she run? We'll see her as we walk. ”

Zhuang Meiyan also has a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, this uneasiness is different from Chunju's uneasiness, Chunju is only worried about the darkness and isolation of the surrounding environment, this fear is tangible after all, and what she worries about is not even clear to herself, it is completely intangible.

The front suddenly became bright, and the exit of the alleyway arrived, and Zhuang Meiyan came to a very dilapidated ruin, where there were several dilapidated houses. It is an exaggeration to call it a "house", which is nothing more than a few ruins of ruins rising in a cloud of weeds and rubble, with most of the roof tiles above them falling off, and the roof beams are clearly visible, giving the illusion of crumbling.

In such a ruin, Zhuang Meiyan saw an unkempt woman huddled in the corner, leaning against the wall, trembling all over. She seemed to be saying something, listened carefully, but seemed to be repeating only two sentences.

"Don't hit me! I don't know!"

"Don't hit me! I don't know!"

Someone in the broken house called out weakly: "Meiyu, Meiyu is you, just come back, don't run around anymore, or those wild children will bully you again." ”

The voice seemed somewhat familiar, and Zhuang Meiyan turned his head to look. She couldn't believe her eyes, the woman who was holding on to the wall and slowly walked out of the broken house, her face was sallow, although she was still wearing purple precious silk satin, but she was already filthy, her hair was messy, and there were a few straws. The woman also saw Zhuang Meiyan's face and the two of them, her face was a little embarrassed, she turned her face slightly, and her eyes almost fell into tears.

"Erniang!" Zhuang Meiyan called out softly.

The down-and-out woman in front of her is her own mother-in-law Liu, her former momentum is gone, except for a silk satin dress that can prove the glory of the past, everything else is like this dilapidated house, there is nothing. Liu seemed to be very ashamed, she turned her face away, and did not dare to face Zhuang Meiyan, although she did not know that Zhuang Meiyan was about to marry into Wuyang Kingdom in the name of Queen Wuyang, just by virtue of her current status as the princess of the regent and her current identity as a sinner, it was a world of difference.

Zhuang Meiyan's voice "Erniang" was out, her voice was sincere, Liu was a person in distress, and a little true affection made her burst into tears, and she couldn't restrain herself.

"Third Miss!" Liu Shi hid his face and said, "Zhuangfu...... It's over, my family is gone!"

From Liu's intermittent description, Zhuang Meiyan understood what happened, Yan Yanyuan had close contacts with the queen's faction, and after Duanmu Hao returned to Feng'an City, the situation changed greatly. The emperor abdicated, the empress was deposed, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Zhuang Mansion became one of the sacrifices of this coup, and only an insignificant one. Duanmu Hao's thoughts and Zhuang Meiyan's affection finally gave Zhuang Zhuang Yuan a light sentence, but he was dismissed and returned to his hometown, and all his family affairs were confiscated.

The building collapsed in Zhuangfu overnight, and Zhuang Yuan couldn't stand this blow, and immediately relapsed from an old disease with heartache and was bedridden. Because the Zhuang Mansion had been seized, they had nowhere to live, so they could only wander along the streets, and finally were forced to stay in this dilapidated house. Because of the haste of the incident, they originally thought that with Zhuang Meiyan, the side princess, to rely on, there would be no big turmoil in the Zhuang Mansion, so they were driven out without any preparation, and they had no food and clothing for the past two days, and they were very depressed.

Zhuang Meiyan could hear from Liu's words, they didn't know what happened between Zhuang Meiyan and Zhuang Yanyuan's father and daughter, Duanmu Hao must have been angry that Zhuang Meiyan almost lost his life, so he would punish him like this.

Liu said while crying, tears fell, and he could still hold it at first, but he choked quietly, and in the end he couldn't cry. Zhuang Meiyan listened, looked around, and also felt sour. She said softly: "Erniang, don't cry, the home is built by people, as long as people are at home." By the way, what about my father, and how many aunts and sisters are there?"

Liu raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, hurriedly pointed to the house and said, "What about the master in the house? The master is sick, and he really doesn't have the money to ask the doctor to come and see him." ”

Zhuang Meiyan walked into the house, she frowned and saw that some straw was spread on the ground in the house, and an old man was lying between the straws. Yan Yan Yuan had aged undecently in just a few days, lying there dying, his eyes closed, and his breath was quite even. Zhuang Meiyan's heart was sour, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

There were some chaotic sounds outside, as well as the sound of women crying, Zhuang Meiyan walked out of the house, and a small figure threw herself into her arms, whining and crying: "Third sister, third sister, woo woo, you save us quickly." Daddy, Daddy - save his old man. ”

This girl is her little sister Zhuang Meiling, who has just turned eighteen, the fourth in the family, and the daughter of Aunt Chen. Zhuang Meiyan hugged her in her arms and whispered a few words of comfort, and then looked up at Aunt Chen, who was standing aside and weeping.

"Why are there only a few of you?What about the others?Fifth Sister, Sixth Brother, and Aunt Su?What about Second Sister?Is she okay?" Zhuang Meiyan asked one by one.

Liu sighed and scolded: "Su Zifeng, that slut, she can't die well!"

After saying that, she coughed vigorously, and her face turned red.

Aunt Chen supported her, and then explained to Zhuang Meiyan: "Originally, we also went out of the house with us, we sold the only jewelry on our bodies to make up some silver, and wanted to find a doctor for the master first, but that Aunt Su secretly took all the silver, and led her daughter and son to I don't know where to go." ”

"Second Miss, she-" Aunt Chen looked back at Liu, who was coughing, a little unbearable, pulled Zhuang Meiyan to the side, and whispered: "Second Miss is now married to the Changxin Marquis Mansion. On the day of the master's accident, my sister sent someone to discuss with the second lady, wanting Changxinhou to come forward to ask for personal favors, so as to leave a house for us to have a place to go, but the second miss didn't come over at all, and sent someone to say that she had nothing to do with her mother's family, and she was also difficult to protect herself, so she asked her mother's family not to burden her. I can't blame the second lady for it, I heard that the day after the accident in our house, the Marquis of Changxin asked the new emperor to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and the new emperor has already agreed, and their house set off overnight, and now they are not in Feng'an City. ”

Zhuang Meiyan knew it in her heart, she pondered for a moment and said: "Meiyan heard that my aunt also has a relative in Feng'an, so you don't want to take the fourth sister to him." ”

Aunt Chen lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes, and said: "There is a distant brother, this is not to beg him today, he is also poor, or give a little silver for the master to see a doctor, every family has family difficulties, there are so many of us, it is not good to bring people tired." ”

"Mother, you still listen to that uncle, he, he is not a person, what do you say to marry me to an old rich man to be a small one, then our whole family will have no worries about food and clothing. Zhuang Meiling cried again, she was young, she had never experienced anything, she had changed dramatically, and she had recently been wronged in the house of that snobbish distant relative, and now seeing Zhuang Meiyan was like seeing the backbone, and I couldn't wait to tell this sister all the grievances.

"Don't talk nonsense, Uncle is joking with you. Aunt Chen scolded in a low voice.

Liu's cough finally stopped, and when she heard Zhuang Meiling crying like this, she shook her head again and again: "Sister, don't beg him again." No matter how dilapidated our Zhuang Mansion is, we can't sell our daughter, when the old man wakes up, how can you explain to him!"

Aunt Chen couldn't help but turn her head to wipe away her tears.

Aunt Chen said very tactfully, Zhuang Meiyan could naturally understand the meaning of her words, coupled with Zhuang Meiling's description, she could already imagine the humiliation that Aunt Chen and the others had received. Zhuang Fu has fallen so far, and she is not a taste in her heart, after all, blood is thicker than water.

Thinking of this, she took Aunt Chen's hand and said softly: "Erniang is right, Aunt must not go again." ”

She turned her head to look at Chunju, who understood, and immediately took out a silver ticket and some broken silver. Zhuang Meiyan took the silver ticket and put it in Aunt Chen's hand, and said: "Auntie, you can take these five hundred taels of silver, go to the countryside to find a place, buy a small house, and buy dozens of acres of land, so that you can live and operate, enough for you to live without food and clothing." In addition, these 20 taels of silver will be kept for you to make coils, hire a carriage, and find a doctor for my father. My father has always been physically tough, and this time he is also in a hurry, and he will recover faster when he slowly recuperates in the countryside. ”

Aunt Chen was full of joy, took the silver ticket and silver taels, and kept saying words of gratitude in her mouth.

Zhuang Meiyan intercepted: "Auntie, don't say these polite words again, Meiyan is also the daughter of her father, but Meiyan has already been someone else's daughter-in-law, and many things can only be involuntarily, I am afraid it will be difficult to resign goodbye, Meiyan has a few words to ask my aunt." ”

"Third Miss, you say. ”

"From the ancient road: home and everything is prosperous. What is home? Only people have a home? The Zhuang Mansion was just confiscated by the imperial court, and the father was just a dismissed official, so in terms of speaking, such a crime was already the lightest punishment. Everyone still has their lives, which is the extrajudicial grace of the court and the prince. Everyone went to the countryside, although life could not be as luxurious as before, at least the family could still be together, reunited, peaceful, better than anything else. ”

Aunt Chen sighed with emotion: "What the third lady said is very true, I just do it." ”

Zhuang Meiyan has long observed that this Aunt Chen is low-key, not as obsessed with fame and fortune as the Liu family, and she is a woman who is a responsible woman, so she handed over all the silver taels to her. Liu's repeated blows, two daughters, one is crazy and crazy, and the other is for the sake of wealth and glory, even her mother is not willing to see her again and hides far away, she is disheartened, and the thoughts of striving for fame and fortune in the past are naturally much lighter, Zhuang Meiyan handed over the silver to Aunt Chen, she didn't even look at it, just hugged her crazy daughter and cried silently.

Later, it turned out that Zhuang Meiyan's vision was really right, and Chen took the Zhuang family to live in Fen'an Town, which was far away from the capital, and bought a small mansion and more than a dozen acres of land according to Zhuang Meiyan's instructions. Chen's diligent and thrifty housekeeping, careful budgeting, and slowly saved a small family business in the future, and also recruited an honest and honest offspring for his only daughter to be a door-to-door son-in-law, and the days became more and more prosperous.

Chen is kind-hearted, never disliked Liu and her crazy daughter, Liu did evil in the first half of his life, and finally repented in the second half of his life, eating fast and reciting Buddha every day, and wanted to atone for the lord and his second daughter. Zhuang Yanyuan returned to the countryside, and under the careful care of Chen and Liu, his body slowly recovered, and he was also disheartened, so he could only settle in the countryside from then on and slowly enjoy the rest of his old age.

The Zhuangfu has gone from glory to decline, and it has only come to an end. These are all afterthoughts, so I won't show them for the time being.

Zhuang Meiyan woke up from a dream, and it was already the third pole of the sun.

She rubbed her eyes and habitually touched her left hand side, empty. Her heart was empty, and today was the seventh day of his journey. She opened her eyes and looked at the dust on the top of the bed, the pale yellow gauze tent, embroidered with many delicate patterns, flowers and leaves green, birds and beasts, just an ordinary curtain is so complicated, I am afraid that the palace is nothing more than that. Compared to the Imperial Palace, the Regent's Mansion is only different in one place.

Zhuang Meiyan didn't think too deeply, her thoughts just drifted to the distance of space with someone's vacancy, along Qiyang Mountain, along the undulating mountains, over the snow-capped peaks, over the endless grasslands with undulating pastures, and flew to the exotic city she had never been to, Wenkoer. In the ancient language of Wuyang, Wenkoer means "vast". It is said that the grassland where Wenkoer is located is the largest grassland in Wuyang, as wide as the ocean.

Since she woke up, he has only been with her for one day, and he has never left. But in one day, everything has become a habit. He always sat at the head of the bed on the left, so as soon as she woke up, her arm was stretched to the left.

With him, the heart is happy, as if nothing has been forgotten.

What rules, what reserves, all forgotten. Duanmu Hao has already acquiesced to her identity as Queen Wuyang, and everything she takes care of is according to the queen's standards, which can be regarded as giving Wu Yangguo and Xiao Xuanchen enough face.

However, can Wu Yangguo accept himself, the queen of He, who remarried from the regent's palace? Yes, she has a name, for the honor of the Wushuang Kingdom, she has been canonized as the princess Fengxiang of the Wushuang Kingdom, and she and the regent Duanmu Hao have become brothers and sisters from the name of husband and wife. But what does this change, and what does it cover?

Anyway, she's also a married woman!

"The princess is awake!"

With the sound of broken steps, several maids dressed in alien costumes rushed in, each holding a washbasin, mouthwash, towel and other things, apparently to serve her to change her clothes and get up. Zhuang Meiyan has been used to being served by no one for many years - although there is a maid Chunju, the two of them do similar work, not like master and servant, but like sisters, and in the past few years, they have lived in Qiyang to take care of business, and they have become more and more unsophisticated, so they are suddenly very unaccustomed to being served.

She once protested to Duanmu Hao about this matter, saying that she only needed Chunju to serve, but Duanmu Hao categorically refused.

"Mei Yan needs to know that she is not going to marry an ordinary family, she really wants to marry into the royal court of Wuyang, and the royal court naturally has the rules of the royal court, and the etiquette cannot be abolished. ”

Zhuang Meiyan knew that what he said was reasonable, so she had to reluctantly agree. Duanmu Hao also invited two old palace maids of Wu Yangguo to teach Zhuang Meiyan Wu Yangguo's etiquette rules and palace taboos, fortunately, compared with Wushuang Kingdom, after all, it belongs to an uncivilized nation, and the rules are not very cumbersome, which is suitable for Zhuang Meiyan's temperament.

These maids entered the house one after another under the leadership of a big maid, and the big maid was the snow kite girl who had just taken care of her in the regent palace, this girl was a steady and old man, Duanmu Hao meant that he wanted the snow kite to marry with her to the Wuyang royal court. Zhuang Meiyan saw that the girl spoke and acted very decently, thinking that she only had such a girl as Chunju by her side now, and when she arrived in a foreign country, many things were naturally inconvenient, so she agreed.

After she finished washing, she sat at the dressing table, Xue Kite stood behind her to help her comb her long hair, and Chunju stood beside her, and there was a row of palace maids standing beside her, although there were many people, but the room was very quiet, and she couldn't even hear a cough.

"Princess Regent has arrived!"

Someone at the door sang a promise.

Zhuang Meiyan hurriedly got up to greet her, Snow Kite's hand pressed her body against the chair with slight force, and Snow Kite whispered to her: "Princess, you are the master in terms of identity, and no matter how noble the princess is, she is also a courtier, she came to see you, you should respect your identity." ”

Zhuang Meiyan listened to her words, immediately stabilized her body, sat quietly on the chair, and waited for herself to change her outfit before coming to the outhouse.

"Mingyue meets the princess!"

After Ji Mingyue saluted, Zhuang Meiyan didn't dare to hold her up, and hurriedly asked Chunju and Xue Kite to help her up and sit down on the chair at the bottom right.

"Mingyue came here this time to be entrusted by someone. Ji Mingyue took out a gift slip from her sleeve and handed it to Chunju.

Zhuang Meiyan took the gift list and glanced at it hurriedly, it was nothing more than some gold and silver jewelry, precious silk, and about a congratulatory gift from that famous family. She is the righteous sister of the regent, and she is about to become the queen of Wuyang Kingdom, in the past few days, such a gift list has been received a lot, she herself is too lazy to look at it, and only handed it over to Xue Kite and Chunju to deal with.

Therefore, she did not take this gift list to heart.

Ji Mingyue saw that her expression was cold, and said: "This is the dowry given by the Queen Mother to the princess, the Queen Mother said that she and the princess sisters should have come in person, but they were afraid that the princess would have left home, so she asked Mingyue to convey it on her behalf." ”

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your love!" Zhuang Meiyan's mind flashed at this time only the arrogant figure standing on the steps, and there was a tingling in his heart.

Ji Mingyue exchanged a few more words with her, and then was about to leave.

"Stay Princess, I have a few words to say to you, you stand down. ”

"Yes!" the group retired.

In the blink of an eye, it is the early autumn season, a year is one year old, one is prosperous and one is withered, and a spring and a summer have passed.

It's another season like this, Zhuang Meiyan returned to Qiyang Town again, but this time her identity is no longer an unpopular concubine of the Zhuang family, but Princess Fengxiang of the Wushuang Kingdom, who is going to Wuyang Kingdom and the future queen of the princess.

The flag was waving in the wind, and when passing by Qiyang Town, Chu Yifan, the general who was ordered to escort him, deliberately took a break outside the town, which was also the meaning of Zhuang Meiyan. After Qiyang Town, there will be people from Wuyang Kingdom to come to answer, and after Qiyang Town, she is no longer the daughter of Wushuang Kingdom, but the queen of Wuyang Kingdom.

Zhuang Meiyan, who was sitting in the big red sedan chair, was full of joy, and the phoenix crown was full of joy, she sighed slightly, opened the curtain and looked at Qiyang Town in the distance, everything was still the same as yesterday. Today, Qiyang is at least three times larger than it was three years ago, thanks to Duanmu Hao's agreement to open trade with Wuyang, and the huge volume of trade between the two countries has made Qiyang the richest place in Wushuang Kingdom.

Zhuang Meiyan saw the familiar scene, and her heart fluttered. At this time, Chunju, who had gone out for a spin, opened the sedan curtain and said to her, "Princess, General Chu asked if you want to come out and take one last look at your hometown." ”

Zhuang Meiyan shook his head lightly and said, "No need." Tell General Chu that he can leave at any time. ”

She suddenly remembered the day before she left Feng'an City, Duanmu Hao visited her.

"Meiyan has traveled thousands of miles this time, and I don't know when it will be possible to return to my hometown, but the lord of Wuyang has a deep love for you, which can be regarded as a good fate. ”

This was the man's opening remarks, like a farewell, and like an exhortation.

That night, Zhuang Meiyan's heart was also empty, as if she had lost something. Mother, father, her family, her relatives and friends were at last far away from her, and on the eve of her marriage, when their blessings were most needed, she was the only man in the room separated from the veil.

"Meiyan, if one day, Wu Yang and Wushuang have a war, what will you do?"

"What does the prince want to look at?"

Duanmu Hao's gentle eyebrows and eyes looked at Zhuang Meiyan quietly, and after a long time, he sighed.

"Meiyan, I sent you to Wuyang, is it right or wrong?"

"What does the prince want to do with his face?" asked Zhuang Meiyan stubbornly.

"What if, I say, I just want you to call me Childe again?" Duanmu Hao said calmly, but this time, there seemed to be a little expectant look in his eyes.

The moon is as cool as water, shining on the terrace of the water pavilion, and the reflection of the moon is broken into a pool of silver in the water. On the top of the "Zheng" high-rise building, someone is playing the piano, and the sound of the piano is soft, but it is a tune of "Sauvignon Blanc".

Zhuang Meiyan smiled indifferently and said: "Lord Wang, tomorrow Meiyan will leave Feng'an City, after a farewell, there may never be a chance to set foot on the unparalleled land in this life, let Meiyan sing a song to you before parting!"

After speaking, without waiting for Duanmu Hao to agree, she began to sing.

Moon corridor,

Shadow Corridor,

The sound of the piano under the corridor is long,

Today lonely to the moonlight.

Dreams don't hurt,

Hate doesn't hurt,

Yellow,

Please taste it next year.

In the past five years, it turned out to be just a Sauvignon Blanc. Through the veil, they finally couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, Zhuang Meiyan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and still laughed.

The wheels turned gently again, and they still had to go on their journey.

The team of relatives slowly left Qiyang Town, because of Zhuang Meiyan's opinion, so they chose to surround this town from the outside of Qiyang Town, Zhuang Meiyan was unwilling to disturb the tranquility here, this was the only thing she could take care of.

Qiyang Town was quickly left behind, and after crossing a mountain range, it arrived at the junction of the Wushuang Kingdom and the Wuyang Kingdom, which was also the last guard post "Xiyang Gang" in the Wushuang Kingdom.

They had just entered the "Xiyang Gang", Chu Yifan frowned and looked at the surrounding terrain, no one was more familiar with the grass and trees here than him. He suddenly raised his hand to stop the group, squinting at the dense woods ahead.

The sedan chair stopped suddenly, and everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised. Chunju, who was sitting in a sedan chair with Zhuang Meiyan, looked out curiously.

"It's nothing more than arriving at 'Xiyanggang', I'm afraid it's someone from Wuyang who came over. Zhuang Meiyan said indifferently.

"No, princess!" said Chunju in a low voice, pointing to the longing figure in the woods outside, "They don't look like they're here to greet you." ”

Zhuang Meiyan looked out along the corner of the curtain, and on the hill not far away, the place where his eyes could reach was all black and pressed, refracting a dazzling sparkle in the bright sunlight.

Zhuang Meiyan was familiar with the dark black armor.

They are the men and horses of the Tiger Camp!

The scimitar is in the hand, the bow is in the bosom, and the arrow is on the string. This is the posture of Wu Yangguo coming to greet his relatives?!
