With a word, the young lady ruined the man's future, and betrothed me to the porter, who had just lost his wife, and was in his forties.
I rescued the prince from the pile of dead in the prince's mansion.
When he led the army back to the Imperial City, he asked me what I wanted.
Without hesitation, I said, "I want to be the queen." ”
Mingyue, you are two months younger than my daughter, how can she marry you to me?"Isn't that humiliating me?”
Uncle Lu leaned out of the stable, snow fell on his eyebrows and hair, and looked at me and sighed deeply.
I don't understand this.
But Miss told me again and again that people are born into three, six, nine and so on, and they are noble and lowly.
She promised me to Uncle Lu, the porter who was over forty years old and had just lost his wife.
If a slave or maid signs the deed of sale to the master's family, he is truly involuntarily.
Where am I staying tonight?Uncle Lu's daughter's name is Hongdou, and like me, she works in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It's just that she serves Madame, and I'm Miss's maid, so I don't know each other.
Hongdou was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't know where to take me, so he heard Uncle Lu shouting outside: Hongdou, you take Mingyue and squeeze it first.
Otherwise, I won't have the face to go down to see your mother in the future.
Uncle Lu's residence is very shabby, there is only one oil lamp in the house, and the wind is ventilated on all sides in winter, and even the tiles on the beams of the house are incomplete.
At night, the wind and snow outside were too loud, and Hongdou's eyes were wide open.
Sister Mingyue, have you slept?What the hell did you *** annoy Miss?Do I have to marry you to my father?I didn't reply, but she knew I wasn't asleep.
As if thinking of something again, Hongdou lifted the quilt and leaned into my ear, chattering a lot.
Finally, I asked: There was a lot of rumors in the house, and they all said, "You once had a very good family affair."
That person and you are childhood sweethearts, and he was a jinshi before he was weak, and now he is on an errand in the criminal department.
But really?It's true.
My family affair didn't work out.
2My name is Jiang Mingyue, and I was born in Taoyuan Town, Jiangnan.
Before making a maid for the young lady.
She was also a girl from a good family.
Jiang Mingyueyun's feet are pressed very well, but she lacks some feelings, and the male voice will sound very good when she reads.
On my fourteenth birthday.
Caught up with the rainy season in Gangnam.
Zhao Fuzi talked about Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" in the school, and I was pushed out to read it.
Although Zhao Fuzi does not say some sour words that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", he is almost mean to the differential treatment of men and women.
So he asked Xie Lin to do another demonstration.
I was very disdainful, but I couldn't help but look at the boy who was called up against the daylight that fell in from the hollowing out of the window grille.
Xie Lin is tall, the uniform green shirt of the school is worn on Xie Lin's body, his eyebrows are like distant mountains, and a pair of Shunze's beautiful eyes are staring at the yellowed scroll.
When reciting poems, compared with me, it is even more elegant, even if it is boring, people are willing to listen to it.
Mr. Zhao was rarely satisfied, and later asked him to answer a few questions.
The more beautifully Xie Lin answered, the more silent I was when I bowed my head.
The rain was pouring outside, and I was sleepy, and as soon as I fell asleep, I heard someone call me.
What about Miss Jiang?I jerked my head up: What?Xie Lin got up and waved his hand at me: I have finished answering, but I still want to ask Miss Jiang how she feels about this poem3When I was kicked out of the school by Zhao Fuzi, I scolded Xie Lin 800 times all the way.
When A-Niang came back from my family's fabric shop, she happened to see: What happened again and was driven back by the master?I took a nap for a while, and Xie Linbian asked me to answer Zhao Fuzi's question at this juncture, and he was clearly a heart!After listening to this, Ah Niang picked up the wooden board out of nowhere, and chased after me around the courtyard to beat me: If you don't take the pen that you can't hold.
Jiang Mingyue, since you don't want to learn Xi, I'll go to Master Zhao to get your bundle back.
Tomorrow you can stay at home and prepare for me to get married!When I heard the word marry, I hurriedly begged for mercy.
Auntie, I haven't finished yet!didn't wait for A-Niang's board to fall, Xie Lin chased after him.
Xie Lin stood under the eaves, not even bringing an umbrella.
The thin green robe was wet, and there were fine droplets of water hanging on the long eyelashes, and most of my anger disappeared in an instant.
The school hasn't finished school yet, what are you doing now?The boy lowered his eyebrows, took out a scroll from his bosom that had not been touched by a drop of rain, and stuffed it into me.
Xie Lin stammered a little and said, "I'm sorry, I'll ......."I'm here to send you a book of poems. ”
Happy birthday. When I returned to the room, Ah Niang was already waiting for me in the house with a portrait of a marriageable man from ten miles and eight villages.
Li Xiucai in the western suburbs is good enough in appearance and conduct, but he is a little older.
Old Lady He's eldest grandson is of the right age, but unfortunately he is a lame ......I couldn't bear it for a while, and shouted, "Auntie!".A-Niang smiled and squeezed her eyebrows at me when she saw the anthology in my arms.
The north of the city is a ...... outside the familyIt is a family of scholars.
Our family is a businessman, but it is a little high, but you and that Xie Lin have been studying together in the school since childhood, and they can barely be called childhood sweethearts, you can consider it. ”
I was poked in my heart, and I blushed and sneered: "Auntie!".It's not that you don't know, Xie Lin and I are the most incompatible in the academy!"You can marry anyone, it's up to him to ......."Nope!Cardamom is in his prime, and he can't tell the difference between liking and appreciating.
In the evening, I lit a candle and spread out the hand-copied book of poems that Xie Lin had given me.
The handwriting on it is neat, and the author and source are deliberately marked.
It wasn't particularly impressive, but I still looked out the window at the night.
I took the pen and drew all the way according to the marks left by Xie Lin, and finally pieced together a complete poem: "Where is the Acacia Mingyue Tower".
It was from today's Xie Linbian asked me to comment on the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" in the school.
Where is Acacia?Mingyue Tower".
I closed the book of poems suddenly, and the candlelight lit up my cheeks, burning astonishingly.
Even when A-Niang came to see me, I didn't notice it.
Yo, you still work so your birthday?I pursed my lips and sat at the table and hugged my mother coquettishly.
Auntie, actually, I don't hate Xie Lin. ”
Ah Niang looked at me suspiciously, as if it wasn't me who said two hours ago that it wasn't Xie Lin.
Daddy died young, and although I never met him, you said that he liked to read the most during his lifetime, and I always felt that I couldn't afford to lose his people. ”
Maybe it's because I'm too much like Daddy, a straw bag, and I don't have the mind to read at all. ”
As soon as Zhao Fuzi opened his mouth, I had a headache.
I have a crude knowledge, and I can't talk as much as Xie Lin. ”
I should be ......Being jealous of him may also be ......Admire him. ”
The first time I saw A-Niang showing such a gaze, the gaze was inexplicable, and it seemed to be a little hesitant and distressed.
She didn't answer, just touched the head of the **.
Our Mingyue has grown up and is sensible. ”
Dear red bean, we woke up a little late this time.
Madame doesn't blame Red Bean, but I can't be exempt.
How?On the first day of marriage, he was lazy and lazy.
Do you have any grievances against me?"Miss Lu smiled at the corner of her mouth, standing in the courtyard**, her eyes pointed directly at me, with a little coldness.
And I knelt on my knees in the winter snow, wearing only a white-washed middle coat, and was held down by the Jinping, beside the young lady, and suffered from the cold.
But after only a stick of incense, I could barely hold on.
If it weren't for the young lady calling me"Keep your head up"Maybe I won't open my heavy eyelids at all.
Before I could react, the boiling water in her hand scalded my forehead from top to bottom.
In an instant, half of my face was blistered and in great pain.
But I did not dare to shout, for that would only invite more cruel torture from the young lady.
I buried my face in the snow for a moment, endured the pain, lifted a pale face, and said:"Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong.
Miss Lu saw me so miserable, her delicate face did not show a trace of pity, but lost interest.
Bright Moon is a good name.
She said"It's a pity that you don't not only don't deserve this name, but you also don't deserve to thank Lin.
If Miss took the initiative to let me marry Uncle Lu yesterday, she forced me to go over immediately"Cultivate married life", it may be that the young lady is on a whim and messes up the marriage.
Now that there is such a trouble, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion knows that I really offended Miss.
So when I went to ask the doctor for medicine, they weren't as friendly as usual.
So be it this time, and if you get hurt again next time, go to a doctor outside.
We don't dare to offend Miss because of you.
I hurriedly thanked him, and then walked to the firewood room in the backyard of the young lady with the medicine box.
Yan Chong was lying on a piece of leather soaked in rotten food, and even what was covering his body was a few bundles of rough thatch.
Seeing that I was covered in embarrassment, with swollen and blistered cheeks, Yan Chong said sarcastically"Why didn't you come yesterday?It's embarrassing for yourself.
I handed him the food and medicine in my hand and said in a flat voice"Xie Lin rejected Miss Lu's overtures a few days ago, saying that he had a sweetheart whose whereabouts were unknown.
And you asked me to send a message to Xie Lin a few days ago.
The young lady sent someone to investigate, and found that Xie Lin and I had discussed marriage when we were children, and we also exchanged business cards.
There was a hint of weakness in my voice, and I barely supported it"So, Miss Lu asked me to marry Uncle Lu, the porter, and yesterday I went to the new house.
Yan Chong had considered various possible turnarounds, but he never thought that it would be such a ridiculous reason.
You ......"I shook my head:"Uncle Lu treated me like a daughter and didn't cross the line.
Yan Chong's words trembled in his mouth:"I ask you, are you hurt?" "Suffered.
But there's nothing to be afraid of.
Yan Chong and I, one is an orphan girl in exile, and the other is a deposed prince, so it stands to reason that we have nothing to do with each other.
But the day before Yan Chong was deposed, the young lady learned the news from the prime minister, and begged His Majesty to give an order and take me to the door in a hurry to withdraw from the marriage.
Yan Chong grew up in power conspiracy since he was a child, and he was dismissive of Lu Xiangfu's eagerness to break away from the relationship.
But he also knew his situation, so he didn't bother Miss Lu in any way.
It's just that when Miss and I were about to return to the mansion, Yan Chong suddenly asked me in a low voice"Are you an orphan in Taoyuan Town?" "Or, do you know the newly appointed Lord Xie of the Criminal Department?"
Seeing that Yan Chong was so close to me, the young lady immediately laughed.
Mingyue, do you want to stay in the East Palace to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince?I can call the shots for you.
Yan Chong's smile gradually disappeared, his phoenix eyes smiled slightly, and the atmosphere became tense.
Miss Lu glared at him and urged us to leave as soon as possible to avoid misfortune.
Yan Chong did suffer a terrible treatment on the day he was deposed.
The emperor first ordered someone to bring a cup of poisoned wine to Yan Chong's mother, Empress Xu, and then ordered the slaughter of the people in the East Palace.
I rescued Yan Chong from the pile of corpses and hid him in the firewood room in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion to take care of his wounds.
I have a general understanding of the relationship between Yan Chong and Xie Lin.
After the fire, I followed the clues all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xie Lin, on the other hand, sold all his family property and went to the capital to participate in the scientific expedition, and began his officialdom journey from a small county in Shouyang.
It took Xie Lin two years to make his debut in officialdom, and he was gradually promoted to the position of Sipin County Guard.
Without the help of the crown prince Yan Chong, he might not even have a place in the center of power if he was given thirty years.
Xie Lin is an isolated person in the court, and Lu Xiang supports his own nephew, the fourth prince, Xie Chenghua.
I understand that you have been wronged.
Yan Chong said. In three days, I will leave the capital, and when I do, I will tell you the truth about the fire in Taoyuan Town.
This is the promise that Yan Chong gave me.
I was silent, not knowing how to speak, just quietly wondering if he had tricked Xie Lin into doing things for him for the same reason.
The lights in the firewood room were dim, and the iron windows on the walls were whirring with snow.
Yan Chong's deep gaze stared at my scalded face, and he frowned slightly, as if wondering if I believed him.
If one day I can come back alive, I will avenge your family.
I asked:"If His Royal Highness passes by Taoyuan Town, can you put on a stick of incense for me?""Even if you don't say it, I'll go.
Yan Chong looked at me, pondered for a moment, and said"Since you saved me, do you want to make any wishes?"I nodded, looked at him who was not so good as me, shook my head again, and said:"Then let's wait until His Highness comes back alive.
