One

The Tang Dynasty is prosperous.

On Chang'an Avenue, a bustling crowd blocked the entire street. That's because the eldest lady of the Shen family is getting married today.

When it comes to the Shen family, there is almost no one who does not know.

The Shen family, the richest man in Chang'an, has been in business for generations, and is as rich as the country. The Shen family married their daughters, and the dowry team alone stretched the entire street.

In addition to this reason, there is also a clear but ulterior purpose for everyone, that is, they all want to see what kind of man will marry the rumored ugly Miss Shen family.

I heard that the eldest lady of the Shen family has not been good-looking since she was a child, even if she is ugly, she also has a problem from her mother's womb, that is, she refuses to take a bath. As soon as he touched the water, he howled desperately and cried until he almost fainted. At first, her father and mother tried to adapt her, but later, she finally despaired and had to let it go.

What would happen to a girl, who had grown to her twenties and had never taken a bath, was disgusting enough just to think about it.

Therefore, even though the Shen family is a famous family, even if the Shen family promises a lot of money, the Shen family, the headache of the eldest lady, is always difficult to match for life.

Seeing that the three daughters got married one after another, and only the eldest daughter was still in the boudoir, Shen Wanjin and his wife had trouble sleeping day and night.

But it was the eldest lady Qingluo who made her father anxious and uneasy, and she was always at peace.

Do you want your daughter to die of old age? Shen Wanjin had no choice but to send someone to tell him that no matter who it was, as long as he was the same age, did not lack arms or legs, and was willing to marry his eldest daughter, he Shen Wanjin was willing to divide half of Wanguan's furniture as a dowry, and would never break his promise.

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was a sensation. There must be a brave husband under the heavy reward, and finally, the ugly girl of the Shen family has become hot.

Rushing to the rich dowry, those who come to the door to seek relatives are suddenly full of people.

Shen Wanjin chose thousands of choices, and finally chose Nanyun, a poor talent outside the city who made a living by selling words, as his son-in-law.

This Nanyun, who is nearly thirty years old, looks dignified, and the mother and son depend on each other for their lives, but because the family is poor and unable to get married, so he has been ruined so far.

Nagumo was ecstatic about this god-given wealth.

No matter how ugly a woman she is, as long as she can bring glory and wealth, she is a fairy beauty.

He had enough of the days when he had no clothes and no food.

A few years ago, he once met a fortune teller with fairy wind bones, predicting that he would become rich overnight, he didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that he is really a living immortal.

But the man looked at him carefully for a long time, as if he had something to say, and finally sighed, shook his head and left.

No matter what he does, as long as he becomes the son-in-law of the Shen family, he Nanyun will no longer be a penniless poor boy.

As for the rumors of the Shen family's daughter, I have heard a little, no matter how ugly or smelly it is, it doesn't matter, it is just a cash cow.

No, Master Shen fell in love with him as the son-in-law of the East Bed at a glance, and a thousand taels of gold were sent to his hut, and the glittering golden light made Nanyun unable to open his eyes.

Money, mansions, fine clothes and food are just around the corner.

Nanyun doesn't have to worry about everything about the marriage, all he needs to do is ride a tall horse on the wedding day and marry his bride.

Ready, anxious, Nanyun finally waited for the day when the alley was empty.

The moment he stepped onto the tall horse in a red dress and a red ribbon, Nagumo finally believed that all this was a real thing.

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd: "Good Peugeot groom officer!" ”

Nagumo felt a smug feeling in his heart.

As the saying goes, the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day.

All the poverty and despair in the first half of his life, since then, have been yesterday's yellow flowers.

Nagumo, it's not the Nagumo it used to be.

Two

After a day of turmoil, when the moon hung on the treetops, Nagumo finally saw off the congratulatory guests, and slowly pushed open the door of the cave room with a nervous mood.

He knew that his bride, the bride who would change his fate, was waiting for him.

She may not be very beautiful, ordinary, or even ugly, it doesn't matter, she is his wife from Nagumo, the woman he must love all his life, this point, he must keep in mind.

In the splendid hall of the Shen family, Nanyun clearly remembered the words of his father-in-law Shen Wanjin: "Be kind to Qingluo, in this life, you will be extremely rich." ”

Shen Wanjin smiled through the red veil, and spoke earnestly, as if he was instructing his daughter, and as if he was telling Nanyun: "With your father, you won't be wronged." ”

Shen Wanjin's eyes were kind, and there was a faint sadness in his care.

Nanyun heard the meaning of the words.

Thinking of this, his steps were a little sluggish.

The bride is just around the corner.

Bright red candles reflect the beautiful decoration of the new house, like a fairyland on earth.

On the small table in the corner of the room, a purple and gold incense burner was burned, and from the hollowed hole, a thin wisp of smoke came out, making the whole room exude a rich fragrance.

Nagumo sniffed deeply.

Although he didn't know what kind of incense it was, he knew that it must be a precious incense.

Nagumo couldn't hesitate, and a pretty maid beside the bride had already handed over a wedding scale tied with a sara.

Nanyun took the wedding scale and looked at the bride with a red veil, a little nervous.

Every man will have a dream of a candle night in the cave room, and the protagonist of that dream must be a beautiful woman.

But Nagumo's bride is doomed, it won't be what he was like in his dreams, although he was compensated for it, he still couldn't hide it from himself, he still looked forward to it in his heart, and a miracle would appear.

Perhaps, his wife is not as ugly as the legend suggests?

He glanced slightly at the maid beside the bride. The maid, with a peugeot-like appearance and wandering eyes, was looking at him with a smile, a little shy and a little curious.

Nagumo's heart moved. Perhaps, the bride in his mind should be like this.

The maid covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Uncle, please remove the hijab, don't make Miss wait for a long time." ”

Nanyun smiled embarrassedly, raised his hand, and gently and slowly picked up the red bride's hijab.

The red yarn was in his hand, and although Nagumo had enough psychological preparation, he was still slightly shocked.

This woman with beady hair, black and shiny hair, clear and bright eyes, and a reserved and leisurely expression. But the heavens gave her a very ordinary face.

A dark and rough face, a collapsed nose, wide lips, and a few sparse teeth are faintly visible. Under the sparse eyebrows, there are a pair of beautiful eyes, like two deep lakes, bottomless.

Nanyun met Shen Qingluo's eyes and was slightly startled.

This look, déjà vu, where have you seen it?

The maid handed over two glasses of wine: "Please Miss and Aunt please drink a glass of wine." ”

Shen Qingluo took the wine glass, but Nanyun didn't move.

His hesitation and cringe fell on Shen Qingluo's eyes.

Shen Qingluo commanded in a low voice: "Yuan'er, you go down first." I'm here to serve my uncle. ”

Yuan'er smiled meaningfully, put down her wine glass, closed the door and retreated.

It turns out that this beautiful maid is called Yuan'er. Nagumo thought.

Shen Qingluo stood up, held the cup with both hands, met Nanyun's eyes, and said with a smile: "Qingluo is fortunate to be worthy of a gentleman, and I am willing to never give up for the rest of my life, thinking that it will be repaid." ”

Nanyun said repeatedly: "There is Mrs. Lao." He hurriedly took the glass.

Between bowing his head, a faint fishy smell came to his face, and Nanyun was caught off guard and frowned slightly.

He immediately realized that this smell was coming from Shen Qingluo's body.

Under the cover of incense, it is almost impossible to detect if it is not too close.

Nanyun knew that incense was popular among the aristocracy, but her incense seemed to have ulterior motives.

The precious incense in this incense burner is probably to hide the smell of her body.

Nagumo quickly regained her charming smile.

I finally drank a glass of wine.

Next, it's what Nagumo has to face.

Zhou Gong's gift is a responsibility that a husband can't escape.

At the moment of the spring night in his dreams, Nanyun is like a year at this time.

I never thought of what it would be like to share a bed with such a woman.

Shen Qingluo smiled slightly, and slowly rolled up her sleeves, revealing the skin on her wrists.

Nagumo's mouth opened wide in surprise.

Shen Qingluo's arms could no longer see their original color, they were bright in black, obviously the result of a long-term lack of cleaning. That's not the main thing, it's amazing that the skin has scale-like patterns, like a fish, and like a snake.

Nagumo couldn't help but take a few steps back, his face changing color.

Shen Qingluo said apologetically: "Scared you, right?" ”

Nanyun froze, and his shock was a little calm.

No wonder Shen Wanjin will not hesitate to marry a daughter. Such a daughter really has nothing else to do except the old and dead boudoir.

For a moment, Nagumo felt remorse in his heart.

Even if he is poor, he doesn't want to live in the same room with such a woman.

Where is a woman? It's a monster.

Nagumo doesn't know what to do.

Repentance? Thinking of the wealth that had already arrived, Nanyun hesitated.

But sharing a bed with such a woman is more uncomfortable than killing yourself.

Nagumo's face flushed, and he couldn't say a word.

Shen Qingluo smiled faintly and slowly lowered her sleeves: "Don't be afraid, husband. Qingluo never thought that she would get married, but my father refused. ”

Nanyun looked at Shen Qingluo at a loss.

This ugly woman has a leisurely and calm bearing, and everything seems to be confident.

Shen Qingluo looked down at the gorgeous wedding dress on her body, and sighed lowly, her voice was gentle and soft, making people unbelievable that such a beautiful and pleasant voice would come from such a woman.

She said softly: "Qingluo has a hard life, and she has had a strange illness since she was a child, and she will get sick when she gets wet. For this reason, my father and mother visited famous doctors all over the world, but they could not be cured. ”

"The father and mother don't want their daughter to be lonely all her life, so she will match Qingluo with her husband as his wife, although since then Siluo has to attach trees, so that Qingluo has a lifelong dependence. But Qingluo knows that she is humble and unbearable, although she can't bear to go against her father's wishes, she will not delay the good match of a gentleman. Shen Qingluo looked at Nanyun, a little shy, a little humble.

Nagumo asked unconsciously, "How are you doing?" ”

Shen Qingluo smiled and said: "Qingluo is willing to be a nominal couple with her husband, in the future, Qingluo will be pure and self-controlled, and her husband will take a concubine and hide Jiaojiao, and listen to it." ”

Nanyun looked at Shen Qingluo in surprise, he couldn't believe it for a while, and his heart was filled with joy and uneasiness.

Nagumo didn't say anything for a while.

There was silence in the room, except for the dancing of red candles.

That red candle is about to burn out.

Shen Qingluo took out two candles from the small box at the head of the bed, and slowly walked to the candlestick to replace the candlesticks.

Her red wedding dress passed by Nagumo.

Rings and skirts.

Nagumo noticed that she was walking with a slight limp.

"If the husband has no objection, then, between us, it is decided." Although Shen Qingluo's voice was soft, it was unquestionable: "It's just that it's a secret between the two of us. Luckily? Daddy and mother know that they will be sad. Shen Qingluo lit a candle and said nonchalantly. The tone was as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Nagumo was speechless. He didn't seem to have a choice.

Such a result is also what he can't ask for.

However, he felt a faint sense of loss and even anger in his heart.

asked herself about her talent, but this ugly woman didn't look at herself more.

When a woman marries a husband, her husband is heaven.

She even openly divorced herself!

Although it can be understood that she is self-aware, but, however, there is always something wrong.

Nagumo let out a long sigh as he stepped out of his new room.

The night of candles in the cave room turned out to be such a result.

Nanyun's eyes suddenly turned to Yuan'er who was guarding the door.

Yuan'er's face was full of peach blossoms, and she looked at him with a shy smile.

Behind him, Shen Qingluo's beautiful voice came: "Tomorrow morning, Qingluo will go to say goodbye to her mother-in-law." ”
