Chapter 1 Marry a Good Gentleman
The spring is cold in March, the snow in the mountains has not yet melted, and the nobles who love to drink and socialize in Jiankang City have already moved around.
There was a faint sound of music in the Xiao Mansion, and the flower-viewing banquet belonging to the high gate of the family was underway.
ββ¦β¦ Although my family is a big family, my aunt said that she is never harsh on the bride, only three simple requirements:
"First, I must give birth to a son within two years to carry on the family lineage. Second, my father died, and my family has no money for the time being, so you have to take out the dowry to support me to study abroad. Third, you have to be filial to my mother, as the so-called eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, you also have to take the initiative to take care of my younger sister and younger brother. β
Garden gazebo.
The young man sat on the ground, his eyebrows fluttering and telling the girl opposite about his requirements for the future bride.
After speaking, he smiled and said: "I am very satisfied with Pei Niangzi, as long as Pei Niangzi does the above three points, she can marry me." Pei Niangzi is still satisfied with Zaixia? β
The girl knelt on the purple bamboo mat.
Her crow blue hair bun is like a pile of clouds, her small face is burning like a hibiscus, her skin is whiter than snow pink cheeks and red lips, her water blue wide-sleeved triple coat outlines the thin lines of her slender line, the big red pomegranate woven flower skirt is spread all over the ground, and the tassels on her thin waist are swaggering and flying, just like the dragon girl on the murals of the Buddhist temple.
The spring breeze carried the falling petals across the pavilion, the girl did not wear a golden hairpin to shake, only a red camellia in the sideburns hairpin, but the rich and gorgeous flowers could not suppress her beauty, only lined her hibiscus powder face charming and charming.
She lowered her long eyelashes, hiding the dark tide in her eyes.
The ancestor also had the fourth and third princes to sing the Ding Ding, but to her father's generation was defeated, although nominally still a family of high-ranking families, but the wealth accumulated over several generations has long been lost by her gambling father.
When Ah Weng was alive, he had set up a prominent family affair for her, but unfortunately the other party later disliked her family's decline and mercilessly divorced.
Now that she is at the age of saying goodbye, her aunt, who has not been in contact for a long time, suddenly enthusiastically introduced a young talent to her, saying how to have a future and how to enjoy happiness when she marries, which is comparable to a top famous family.
Her father was so angry when he heard this, he urged her to come to the flower viewing banquet in Xiao Mansion, saying that the young talent would also go to the banquet, and then take the opportunity to take a good look at the crowd.
Pei Daozhu raised his eyes.
This so-called young talent, born with a round head, big ears, thief eyebrows, and rat eyes, has an obscene bearing and does not know it.
The appearance and demeanor are only worthy of the next nine grades.
The dress is very ordinary, and the family is just a small family that does not enter the stream.
Sensing her prying eyes, the young talent put down the tea bowl and bared his teeth and smiledβ
The teeth are yellow.
Pei Daozhu avoided his gaze with a smile on his face, as if he was shy.
But in her heart, she said that it was difficult for her aunt and aunt, and she didn't know where to find the crooked melons and cracked dates, and she was embarrassed to blow it in the sky and the earth, and she wanted to make her a pair.
So good, why didn't she introduce her own daughter?
The young talent asked, "What does Mrs. Pei think of me?" It's not me who blows, but when I go out on the street, there are a lot of big girls and little women, enthusiastically throwing flowers and champas at me! But any lady who has a little vision should see my goodness! β
Pei Daozhu's phoenix eyes were sparkling, and his smile was even more shy.
Throwing flowers and champas at him?
I'm afraid it's not that he's blind, people are throwing stones and rotten vegetable leaves!
Her lips opened lightly, her posture was as dignified and elegant as a delicate flower shining on the moon, and she said euphemistically: "Zhang Lang is a good person, I love you very much." It's just that the marriage event is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, and Daozhu doesn't dare to promise it easily......"
Zhang Caimao was very happy: "Then tomorrow, I will visit Lingzun and Lingtang." β
Pei Daozhu said softly: "Tomorrow, my father and aunt will go out to worship our ancestors, which is not appropriate." β
"And the day after tomorrow?"
"I will also go to worship my ancestors the day after tomorrow."
"Why do you have to worship your ancestors every day?"
"Tomorrow it will be Ah Weng, and the day after tomorrow will be Ah Po. Grandma Aung had a bad relationship during her lifetime, so she had to worship separately. Zhang Lang is very elegant, and he can understand it. β
The girl's smile is gentle, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Zhang Caimao's rejection disappeared without a trace, and he said earnestly: "Jiangling Lake in spring is rippling, and I heard that many literati and scholars like to go there to chant poems and paint. I don't know if it is an honor to invite Pei Niangzi to go boating on the lake? β
Bae Do-joo kept smiling.
This guy wants to have a family background without a family background, if he wants to look without a look, if he wants to be talented or not, and now he doesn't even have a brain.
How boring it is to swim in the lake, so she doesn't go.
She whispered softly: "My foot is injured, and it is inconvenient. β
Zhang Caimao was surprised: "You were quite normal when you came, could it be a hidden disease?!" Your aunt didn't tell me! It won't be passed on to our children and grandchildren, right?! β
Pei Daozhu was even more disdainful.
She knocked her ankle with a latte, regretful and innocent: "I wasn't injured before, but now I'm injured." β
Zhang Caimao finally reacted.
He was furious, and his cheeks flushed: "Pei Daozhu, are you fooling me?!" Who in Jiankang City doesn't know that your family is in the middle of the road, do you think you are still the pearl of the palm of the high-grade family? ! The down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, you were divorced by the Xiao family, it's good that I am willing to marry you, you don't want to marry me?! β
Bae Daozhu smiled.
She's down.
In the past, the aristocratic girl who was so chic that she exchanged the golden hairpin and sable for wine money now can't even afford a silver hairpin, and she has to weigh it for half a day to cook a few chickens at home.
Can......
So what?
Thinking of that vague dream half a month ago, she couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
In the dream, in order to repay her father's gambling debts, the ancestral house was sold, and the whole family lived on the streets, two years later, she was seen by the imperial court as beautiful, apparently sent to the northern country and relatives, but in fact acted as a detailed work, and finally not only ended up with a broken family, but also carried the charge of red face and water disaster to the people of the country, was insulted by the people, and finally could not bear the humiliation and died in the water on Chinese New Year's Eve.
She was afraid of that ending.
She has tasted Zhong Mingding's prominence of spending a lot of money, she doesn't want to be down, she just wants to live a chic life with fine clothes and jade food, and still be the most envied high-grade lady of all the girls in Jiankang City.
Therefore, the top priority is to get a sum of money as soon as possible, keep the ancestral home, and keep the identity of the family.
Marrying a good husband is undoubtedly her best choice at present.
Therefore, when her aunt wanted to introduce her to young talents, she was willing to come and see her.
However, the "young talent" in front of her, she really can't afford it.
Pei Daozhu is very modest: "Daozhu's posture of Puliu is indeed not worthy of Zhang Lang." Today's flower banquet, there are many noble girls, and the goddess in heaven is not easy to find, and the girl who is willing to condescend to your family as a servant, is it still difficult to find? Why should Zhang Lang be angry? β
Zhang Caimao was angry: "Slut, are you sarcastic about me?!" β
After he finished scolding, he suddenly laughed angrily: "I often told people earlier that it is not a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful, and it is also your aunt who knows that you are arrogant and has ventilated with me in advance." β
Pei Daozhu was stunned.
She followed Zhang Caimao's meaningful gaze, and the tea bowl in front of her was already half drunk.
I chuckled in my heart.
She, drugged?
