Chapter 1: A New Identity, a New Life
On the big red carved wooden bed, Mu Wan woke up slowly, looked at the red lily gauze tent above his head, blinked, and was confused. The faint sound of breathing in her ears made Mu Wan chuckle in her heart, and she looked to her side in horror:
What is that, a face! A handsome face with eyebrows and eyes, at first glance, it is a man! Mu Wan breathed rapidly, her eyes slowly looked down, her red-sleeved arm pressed against the thin silkworm quilt of the mandarin duck playing in the water, and then looked at herself, her body was obviously the traces of love!
Just as he was about to scream, a burst of dizziness came, Mu Wan shook her head, and suddenly many memories that did not belong to her appeared: the original owner is also called Mu Wan, and his father Mu Mingxuan is the third generation hereditary lord of the Great Xia Dynasty. It's a pity that Mu Wan's father is the third generation and has no achievements, and the eldest son is only twelve years old.
Seeing that the family was about to fall, he thought of the original owner who had not yet married at the age of eighteen due to the national mourning and family mourning. Experienced several resignations halfway, coupled with the age, can not find a good family, had to delay again and again, and finally married the original owner of the Dali Temple Xiao Wenyu (lying next to this) as a continuation of the string, this is already twenty-eight years old, although the official position is only from the third grade, but can not stand the power of others, deeply trusted by the emperor.
At that moment, Mu Wan felt that life was like a play, who knew what to do in the next moment! If you sleep well, you can sleep until you cross over, but you can also earn it, which is an extra thirty years of life! The past life is like smoke, just let it pass. In the future, he will be Xiao Wenyu's steproom.
Looking out the window, the sky was bright, and it was estimated that it would be about a quarter of the hour. Mu Wan gently lifted the thin quilt, stood up with red embroidered shoes, and looked back, but saw Xiao Wenyu staring straight at Mu Wan with deep eyes, without saying a word.
Mu Wan was a little unaccustomed to it, but she still spoke: "The master is awake, but is he going to get up?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a grandmother's voice outside: "Madame, but is it up?" Seeing Xiao Wenyu sit up, Mu Wan hurriedly responded. The door opened slightly, and four grandmothers and several maids came in, and the maids who followed behind touched the basin, towel and other things, and did not make a sound lightly.
The grandmother was divided into two groups, one group took the maids to serve Xiao Wenyu and Mu Wan to get up and wash, and the other group packed up the mattress and collected the handkerchief with peace and redness to return to the old lady.
Mama waited for Mu Wan to put on a red background embroidered and Tilian clothes, the red was festive, Mu Wan's skin was white, and she looked more dignified and generous when she wore it. When everything was cleaned up, a room of servants knelt down and saluted, shouting to the lord and lady, which was to recognize Mu Wan's identity. Seeing that Xiao Wenyu didn't mean to speak, Mu Wan hurriedly called out and asked the bridal maid Egret to reward the reward that the original owner had already prepared.
As soon as he finished the reward, Xiao Wenyu, who was wearing a purple and red robe, heard a clear and handsome voice: "Let's go, go see my mother." After speaking, he naturally took Mu Wan's hand out of the main house and walked towards the old lady's courtyard. Mu Wan could only follow Xiao Wenyu's footsteps and walk forward without hurry.
Recalling the news that the original owner knew: The Xiao family is a scholarly family, and the ancestors also have that hereditary feats, but they have been relatively low-key, until Xiao Wenyu was born in the imperial examination, and has another action, although it is the family of Zhong Ming Dingshi, but it is also a family of Hanmo poetry and books. It's just that the Xiao family has not many heirs, and it has been passed down for five generations. Xiao Wenyu, the current head of the family, is only a young man, but he only has two concubines, and his original wife did not leave a son and a half daughter. Therefore, there are only a few serious masters of the Zhang family, the highest generation of Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Wenyu, and the eldest girl and the second girl born to the two concubines. Therefore, Mu Wan, as the continuation of Master Xiao, is the one who serves the tea, that is, Mrs. Xiao should be called her mother-in-law now.
Mu Wan looked at her mother-in-law who was sitting on the main seat, and when she looked at them who came in, her eyebrows were kind, and her spirit was good, so she should be a good person.
"The daughter-in-law greets her mother, and invites her mother to tea." Mu Wan knelt respectfully and saluted the teacup to the old lady.
The old lady Xiao on the main seat took the teacup and took a sip, and said to Mu Wan lovingly: "Good daughter-in-law, you will be a member of the Xiao family in the future, you must be a good husband and children, and it is only right for us to have a big fat boy as soon as possible." This pair of emerald bracelets was given by my mother when I was still in my mother's house, and I will give it to you now. ”
Mu Wan respectfully responded, and a maid behind her came out to take it and put it away.
When Mrs. Xiao saw her son sitting quietly, and looked at Mu Wan who was standing respectfully on the side, she was even more satisfied, and said that she was tired, and let the couple go back.
After Xiao Wenyu and his wife withdrew, the old lady summoned Grandma Sun, who had been serving her for decades, "What do you think of Wenyu's daughter-in-law?" ”
"The slave and maid are not arrogant or impatient, dignified and generous, and they deserve to be from everyone. And the old lady's spirit is much better now than before," said Grandma Sun after a moment's thought.
The old lady was stunned for a moment and immediately laughed, "This is true, this Mu is my daughter-in-law, at that time, Master Qingyang said that she is a good fortune, and the eight characters of her birthday are also a good life of Wangfu and Wangzi." Now that you look good, your body is round and healthy, my grandson has hope, and I think Wen Yu is also satisfied, otherwise he would not have sat from beginning to end. It's like the one who used to be delicate and weak. ”
"The slave maid just secretly looked at the big and warped ass of the lady, and she looked like a good child. The old lady was waiting to hold her grandson, holding one in her left hand and one in her right hand, calling her grandmother with her mouth. Although Grandma Sun's words were a little vulgar, the old lady was happy to hear it, and she was even more satisfied with Mu Wan, her daughter-in-law.
With a new daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but think of her former daughter-in-law, Chen's mother's family was a high-ranking family in the capital, and her father's official residence was second-class, which was considered a low marriage. As the saying goes: marry a woman from a high door, marry a woman from a low door. The Chen family is powerful, and he has enough confidence to marry, and in the past ten years, he has been arrogant in the house, and he can't give birth to children, so he has made the house smoky, causing Wen Yu to be more and more disliked to stay in the house, and he is busy with business all day long. It wasn't until three years ago that Chan fell ill and suddenly went. Mrs. Xiao had long wanted to find a steproom for her son, but her son disagreed, thinking that she was annoyed by Chen. It wasn't until he was sick some time ago that Xiao Wenyu agreed with the old lady's choice of Mu Wan.
Thinking about the appearance of his daughter-in-law just now, the more he thought about it, the happier he became, as if Jin Sun would appear in the next moment. The feeling for Mu Wan is also a lot more intimate.
