Chapter 1: The Bride
March 26th is a good day for everything.
It is also the wedding day for the eldest husband of the Wei family in Peach Blossom Town.
She married a girl from a wealthy family in Danzhou in the south. Speaking of girls from this wealthy family, she was quite unlucky. Just when Ji Jiji was in her grandmother's filial piety period, she missed the best time to find a husband. After the filial piety period, her biological mother finally
She contracted a serious illness and died before she could get married. The filial piety lasted for three years, and after three years, a little girl of the same age was wasted in her prime. It was not easy to get married, but she still got married.
The eldest son of the Wei family is about to die of illness.
When everyone praised her filial piety, they couldn't help but pity her misfortune.
Now, it took the wedding team two months of back and forth to pick up the bride.
After blowing and beating all the way, we finally arrived at Peach Blossom Town.
Xie Sanniang was forced out of the sedan chair by the woman next to her. Her little face under the red hijab wanted to rub the painful area. When the woman next to her saw it, she glanced at her secretly and scolded her in a low voice:
"If the girl dares to move any more, she won't get anything to eat tonight."
Xie Sanniang had been frightened by her for the past two months. After hearing this, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move anymore, so she obediently let her help her move forward.
The old woman glanced at her with satisfaction.
The red silk of the Wei Mansion was hung high, and even the two big stone lions at the door were hung with red wedding balls. After the bride stepped over the brazier, firecrackers were set off all around, and the bride followed beside the bride, swinging a red silk handkerchief.
, saying auspicious words while walking. The entire Wei Mansion was packed with guests, and the neighbors were full of people, making it very lively.
In the wedding hall, Mrs. Wei's wife was sitting in the high hall, with a sad look in her eyes, and she managed to squeeze out a decent smile.
Everyone understands that if this happens to anyone, no one will be able to laugh.
When Xie Sanniang was brought to the wedding hall to worship, there was already a teenage boy waiting with a big rooster in his arms. Seeing the big rooster, the faces of the servants who came with the Xie family all changed, but they all
He quickly pretended as if nothing had happened.
Secretly in my heart: I can’t even worship Xitang, the eldest husband of the Wei family is probably going to die!
As early as when the Wei family suddenly came to offer employment, the Xie family asked people to find out clearly. The eldest son of the Wei family was injured on the battlefield and was sent home. Now his injuries are so severe that medicine and stone are almost useless.
His mother, Mrs. Wei, looked at her eldest son and was speechless. She was so sad that she listened to the customs of the elders and planned to marry her son to a wife. But everyone within a hundred miles of Taohua Town knew about the situation of the eldest husband of the Wei family.
If you marry someone, you will obviously become a new widow, and no girl will want to marry him.
No, after being reminded by the family slave, Mrs. Wei remembered that the Xie family had shamelessly wanted to marry her family, and with the hope of becoming a living horse doctor, she went out to recruit someone and marry her.
Back then, when the Xie family was exiled and their situation was bad, they would marry a small businessman like the Wei family. Now that the Xie family's injustice has been vindicated and they have regained their former power and wealth, how can they still look after the Wei family? They were supposed to let it go.
, but today, people hate treacherous people the most, and they are afraid that the Wei family will file a lawsuit with them, so they took advantage of the fact that the marriage contract did not specify which daughter of the Xie family to marry, arranged for a proxy marriage, and sent Xie Sanniang to the sedan chair.
The Wei family didn't know that the bride had been changed.
The servants of the Xie family who came with them just hoped that nothing would go wrong, and they would settle the matter after the bride was sent to the bridal chamber.
Mrs. Wei looked at the bride who was obediently worshiping the big rooster, with some relief in her eyes.
I thought that this girl was a good girl, and she was willing to marry her after knowing her son's condition. She must be a woman who valued love and justice. If my son really couldn't survive this disaster, I would treat my wife here well and treat her like my own daughter in the future.
Just find her a good husband.
Sanniang didn't know what she was thinking. She was staring at the ground under her hijab.
She is hungry.
Just when the master of ceremonies shouted "Two bows to the high hall", the bride seemed to freeze. In full view of everyone, she stretched out a small hand, picked up a peanut that fell on the ground, quickly opened the corner of her hijab and threw it away
Entered the mouth.
This sudden action shocked everyone.
The wedding hall suddenly became eerily quiet.
The old woman on the side came to her senses, and in anger, pinched her elbow as hard as she had pinched her before. The pain made the bride under the hijab burst into tears.
"Mommy, don't pinch it, it hurts."
Soft Nono's voice was filled with great grievance and fear.
Everyone looked at the old woman, who retracted her hand nonchalantly, and said with a stern face: "Girl, don't talk nonsense, I just accidentally touched the girl." After saying that, she secretly glared at her with a threatening look.
I have never seen such a shameless person. In the clear sky and in the broad daylight, in full view of everyone, he tries to cover up the truth and pretends that everyone is blind.
Mrs. Wei's face turned ugly.
Everyone was stunned, but the young man from the Wei family who was holding the big rooster next to him opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "What are you doing picking up things on the ground to eat?" Is it dirty or not? Is it a shame?
"I'm hungry."
"You can't pick up things on the ground to eat when you're hungry..." The young master didn't think much about it.
"If you don't eat, Sanniang is hungry."
This innocent voice made two big words flash in the hearts of everyone...
'Fool'
Is this Wei family’s bride a fool?
Mrs. Wei's face became even darker. In anger, she pulled off the kerchief from her head, revealing a delicate little face without any makeup. Especially her ignorant and clear eyes, which were clear in black and white.
Like a child.
What a fool!
Mrs. Wei had only seen the fourth mother of the Xie family when she was young, and she still remembered that there was a small bright red mole on her chin. At a young age, she could tell that she would be more beautiful when she grew up. But it was obvious that the girl in the red wedding dress had a bright red mole on her chin.
White and clean, with nothing on it.
Obviously, the person in front of them is not the person their Wei family wants to marry.
Looking at the little girl in front of her, Mrs. Wei stood up immediately, her face covered with frost, pointed at the girl in front of her and asked: "My Wei family is asking to marry Xie Jiaren, the fourth girl of the Xie family. Who is she?"
The old woman next to her knew that Mrs. Wei had met the fourth girl of their family, but she didn't expect that she could recognize her at a glance. She couldn't hide it anymore, so she hurriedly said: "Mrs. Wei, please calm down, she is the third girl of our Xie family. She is from Xie Yi, and we are both Xie."
She is a direct descendant of the mansion, and her status is no lower than that of the fourth girl."
This means that it will be the same if you marry her.
Mrs. Wei was so angry that the chill on her face became more and more intense. She did not suppress the anger in her chest and said angrily: "I don't care what her identity is. The person under my Wei family is marrying the fourth mother of the Xie family. It is clearly written in the marriage contract.
You dare to secretly exchange brides, do you think my Wei family is easy to bully? If you don't send the real Xie Siniang, then we will see her in court."
Even if her son is terminally ill now, he is still the eldest son of the Wei family. How can he tolerate being bullied like this?
And I sent such a fool to deal with it.
The more Mrs. Wei thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't wait to go to the Xie family to find someone to settle the score now.
The old woman from the Xie family was not a good person either. She said eloquently: "Mrs. Wei, there is no need to be angry. The marriage contract established by your house did not specify that we four girls were the ones to marry. Furthermore, since ancient times, the three of us have been arranged in an orderly manner.
The girl is the eldest sister. How can there be a reason why the younger sister should leave the court first before the older sister is married? That is against the rules. Therefore, according to the marriage contract, the marriage contract with the eldest husband should be done by us three girls. Madam herself
I also said that the marriage contract was clearly written, and I expected that our Xie family would also have proof of the Yamen, and my wife would not be able to slander it."
After saying that, the woman took out the marriage contract from her arms and placed it in front of everyone.
"Now that Xie's family has a daughter, I have chosen to appoint the guard guard Jun Ci. When Xie's daughter grows up, she will be hired by a high-ranking guard guard, so that she can marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties. This is the basis for the marriage contract..."
This marriage contract was made in duplicate.
With the marriage contract as proof, no one can regret it.
"What a daughter of the Xie family, what a good Xie family. She prides herself on being from a scholarly family, and she can take it seriously even if she doesn't want to. Back then, she had the audacity to enter into this marriage contract with her late husband, but now she shamelessly goes back on it. It's too much of a lie. It's simply a lie.
Too many people!"
The old woman quickly said jokingly: "Mrs. Wei, please calm down, this is a big happy event after all. Anyway, your eldest husband just wants a bride to celebrate the occasion, and he is a good match for our three girls."
Is it right for a fool to match a short-lived devil?
"Okay, very good." Mrs. Wei gritted her teeth, her face turned livid with anger.
The Wei family has to swallow this embarrassing loss!
Mrs. Wei never expected that the Xie family would be so shameless. When the Wei family hired someone, she specifically asked someone to explain the situation. If the girl from the Xie family was unwilling to marry, the marriage contract would be broken. But the marriage contract would be broken.
The Xie family was afraid that others would say that the Xie family was treacherous and would affect the reputation of the children in the family in the future, so they agreed hypocritically. Unexpectedly, they secretly changed their wives in the blink of an eye, which was really shameless.
"Come here, my Wei family recognizes the bride. The rest of the family will thank you and they will be chased out by me."
"We are the dowry servants prepared by the Xie family for the girl. According to Daqi law, we are our girl's private servants. We are not servants of the Wei family. Mrs. Wei has no right to drive us away."
The old woman dared to be so domineering because her master was stupid.
For the first time in my life, I encountered such domineering slaves.
Mrs. Wei glared at the arrogant woman in front of her and was about to ask someone to beat them out when the 'little fool' who had not dared to say a word suddenly grabbed her hand. When she was so angry that she was about to throw them away, the little fool
He forced a stack of papers onto her.
Mrs. Wei lowered her head and saw that they were all body contracts.
If you look closely, you will see that they are all from this group of unscrupulous slaves who came with the Xie family.
Knowing how to take out this thing at this critical moment, could this girl be pretending to be stupid?
Mrs. Wei stared at her with a slightly complicated expression.
Those slave sales contracts were secretly given to her by Xie Sanniang's own mother. Her mother felt ashamed of her and was also afraid that the servants of the Xie family who followed her would make her stupid, so she privately told her to hide them until they arrived.
The Wei family remembered to give it to their mother-in-law.
She always kept it in her mind and hid it in her little clothes. She only dared to take it out when she was in the sedan chair.
Her mother did have foresight. Along the way, these evil slaves did not do their best to her, and often beat and scolded her. However, no one noticed that she had something hidden in her little clothes. Perhaps they did not expect that a fool would hide something.
