Chapter 1: Candles in the Cave Room
"Tonight-" Under the ambiguous flickering candlelight, the girl who took off her wedding dress was a little nervous and grabbed the corner of the mandarin duck brocade quilt with both hands, and looked at the sturdy and heroic figure sitting on the big red marriage bed with her back to her.
"Whatever you want!" The groom, who had also taken off his red wedding dress, said these two words coldly, and lay on his side outside without looking back, with a tenth-level cold air of "don't come near me" all over his body.
If he looked back at his bride at this time, he would see that she was rolling her eyes in disgust, and there was no shyness or nervousness, and the hidden sharpness in her eyes was like a meteor flashing away, and then there was a touch of relaxation, which caused the corners of her mouth to bend slightly.
Lin Shuran also lay sideways inward, wrapped the quilt around herself, the autumn night was cold, she couldn't freeze herself, as for the man with his back to him, he wouldn't grab the quilt with a weak woman in the middle of the night, right?!
Tonight is her cave room flower candle, married to her is the upstart of the dynasty, the emperor's favorite minister, the queen mother's righteous son Jin Dynasty general Xu Junze, and her identity is not bad, when the young daughter of the imperial prince, my sister is still the emperor's favorite concubine, she and Xu Junze are said to be the right family, talented and beautiful, it is a good couple.
It's a pity that she doesn't want to marry, and he doesn't want to marry, if it weren't for the emperor's decree to give marriage without even saying hello, if it weren't for the queen mother's painstaking persuasion, if it weren't for her father and mother crying, making trouble and hanging herself, this marriage would not have been broken.
She is only eighteen years old, although she can be regarded as a headache in the ancient times when the girl married early, but in her bones she is still a good socialist young woman, if she hadn't died unexpectedly three years ago and would have become the daughter of the Lin family, maybe her kindergarten business plan has been a great success.
Three years ago, she was still a young and lovely kindergarten teacher, leading a group of cuties across the street, the drunk driver went on a rampage, in order to save the children, she was hit by a car and flew into the sky, and then opened her eyes, and became the young daughter of the Lin family who died for love.
This Lin Shuran has a childhood sweetheart lover Gu Jingcheng, originally the two made an appointment to wait for Gu Jingcheng to fight and return to the Lin family to propose marriage, but who thought that it was Gu Jingcheng's corpse that came back, and on the day of the burial, it snowed heavily in the capital, Lin Shuran carried a piano on his back and played in front of Gu Jingcheng's grave for a long time, and finally fainted in front of the grave and was carried back by the Lin family.
In fact, on the night she went back, the real Lin Shuran had already died, and when she woke up, she inevitably showed her feet, so she went to Zhuangzi outside the city on the grounds of recuperation, and later in order to avoid the marriage that Lin's father found for her, she lied that although she and Gu Jingcheng did not make a marriage contract, she also wanted to mourn for him for three years.
In the past three years, she has been "recuperating" in the grange outside the Lin family's city, in fact, she is leisurely living a rich life of rice worms, while being familiar with this strange time and space.
I thought that my "good life" could continue to live, but I thought that the emperor summoned his father Lin Youxing into the palace, and said with a sad face that his righteous brother Xu Junze was not small, and he couldn't see a single one of the nobles in the city.
"Yes, yes, what the emperor said is that the old minister is also worried, my stupid girl, seeing that eighteen is almost nineteen, how can she marry her crazy child!" The cunning Lin Youxing raised his sleeves and leaned into the corners of his eyes to wipe his invisible tears.
The young emperor looked sad and sympathetic to him, and both the monarch and the minister pretended to sigh, didn't they know that the calculating and cunning look in their eyes was seen by the other party, and they smiled tacitly, and the marriage between her and Xu Junze was finalized in this way.
Gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing, phoenix crowns are shining, ten miles of red makeup, today she and Xu Junze completed their wedding in a beautiful way, but at this time, the embarrassment and indifference to each other on the marriage bed made a couple unable to really fall asleep.
"Whatever you want!" Lin Shuran was lying inside and still "chewing" the meaning of these two words, what did Xu Junze's words mean? Does it mean that she has the final say whether two people roll the sheets or not? Or does he want to let himself take the initiative to "overlord hard bow", and he looks unwilling to be wronged by bullying and ravage?
Although she is from modern times, she is very open-minded, but her behavior is very regular, let her "strong" a man who is unwilling to roll the sheets with herself, even if this man is handsome and extraordinary, and her posture is upright, but she really can't do it, it's not that she doesn't dare, it's that she doesn't want to, roll the sheets, and you always have to be happy with each other to get along.
The silence lasted until late at night, and it was not until there was an even and small breathing sound behind him that Xu Junze opened his resolute and arrogant eyes, and there was a strange girl lying so close to him, especially the girl's fresh and elegant body fragrance also drilled into his nose from time to time, making him a little irritable.
This room was not suitable for him at all, but the Queen Mother warned him that if he was newly married, he would embarrass his wife, and she would not be able to raise her head in the capital in the future.
He knew that she had other men in her heart, even if the man named Gu Jingcheng had been dead for three years, she was still thinking about him, and the whole capital knew about it, he respected such a loving and righteous woman, so as long as she was unwilling, he would not touch her.
In his opinion, the General's Mansion does not need any hostess at all, but the emperor and the Queen Mother and many people think that he should have a wife, and since he has already married, he hopes that this wife will be in peace in the mansion.
In a flash, it was dawn, Lin Shuran's wrinkled and delicate nose slowly opened her eyes, she turned her head to look at the outside of the bed, Xu Junze's figure was gone, the half-empty bed was much wider, and she rolled outside.
The first day of being a bride begins!
The eldest girl Chunxi had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when she heard the movement of getting up inside the door, she softly knocked on the door and said, "General, miss, the slave maid brought the washing water!" ”
"Chunxi, come in!" Lin Shuran shouted to Chunxi to come in while getting dressed, and with a squeak, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Chunxi, who had an apple face, walked in with a basin of warm water a little timidly, she thought that Xu Junze, the general, was still in the house.
After looking down and not noticing that there were others, Chunxi raised her head in surprise, and saw that her young lady Lin Shuran was looking at her with a smile, and quipped: "Don't look at it, people have left early!" ”
"Ahh Chunxi shouted in surprise, her own young lady has the habit of getting up early, but she didn't expect this new aunt to get up earlier than her.
Xu Junze has no father or mother, and there are no other elders in the family, so Lin Shuran doesn't need to ask anyone to say hello early in the morning, but Mama Zhang, who married with her, told her in advance that today's Xu Junze's "sons" will come to greet her "mother".
Mother-As soon as she thought of this title, Lin Shuran had a headache.
Xu Junze is only twenty-four years old this year, but he already has thirteen sons, although they are not biological, but they are all on the genealogy of the Xu family, and they are all raised under the name of his wife, in other words, even if she gives birth to a son in the future, it is not the eldest son of the Xu family.
It doesn't matter if she has many sons, but even she who lives in the grange outside the city often hears the "glorious" deeds of the young masters of the Xu family who keep getting into trouble, no matter how you hear it, these are a bunch of bear children who can't be stopped, maybe this is also the reason why Xu Junze has never been able to marry a wife.
"Mother, Mother!"
Lin Shuran was so shocked by this sudden and urgent "mother" shout that she almost didn't stand still, she just finished washing up and came to the door with the "bear child"?!
How can this voice sound like an ominous premonition!
