Chapter 1: Marriage will not end(1/2)
In Prime Minister Zuo's house, Duan Ruhao turned to look at his wife Zhao Lingyue next to him and said, "Madam, that rebellious woman doesn't agree?" "Isn't it Master? I really have nothing to do with her."
"Then the rebellious girl can't stand looking at five young masters anymore, right?"
"Yes, Master, if this continues, the reputations of our Li'er and Ya'er will also be damaged by her, not to mention that there are other aunt's daughters below."
Duan Ruhao pinched his forehead. In the past two days, his colleagues had been laughing at him, telling him to just send his daughter to a nunnery. In their dynasty, going to a nunnery was not a good thing.
"Mother Li, call that rebellious girl to the hall. I want to see what she wants to choose."
"Yes, sir."
Aunt Li has been running to this Cuiyuan very diligently these days. Although she has been here several times, she still can't help but complain when she sees such a desolate and deserted yard, "It's really unlucky. I keep going here these days."
I don’t know if I got any bad luck when I went here. It seems like I need to get rid of the bad luck when I go back."
Thinking of this, Aunt Li didn't go inside the house. She looked around in the yard and saw Duan Qingqian embroidering in the house through the window on the side. What Aunt Li saw was Duan Qingqian's back, but
It is not difficult to confirm that Duan Qingqian is doing embroidery, because she can only do a few things, cooking, eating, writing and drawing on paper, embroidering and sleeping.
Nanny Li said in a disrespectful tone, "Miss, I asked you to go to the hall." Duan Qingqian knew this as early as Nanny Li entered Cuiyuan. She did not stop her movements, as if she had not heard.
Seeing that Duan Qingqian didn't respond, Mammy felt annoyed and shouted louder, "Miss, you are deaf again. I want you to go to the hall."
Duan Qingqian has never been very communicative to others. She just doesn't want to pay attention to her. It has been 13 years since she came to this world. She is now 20 years old. The original Duan Qingqian went with her mother when she was 7 years old.
, she was originally from another world, and she was already dead in that world. In this situation, she doesn’t know whether her soul has traveled through time and entered someone else’s body, or whether she has been reincarnated.
Seeing that Duan Qingqian still didn't move, Grandma Li lost her temper, walked directly to the window, patted the window, and shouted: "Miss, I asked you to go to the hall, did you hear it?"
Duan Qingqian finally stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look at Grandma Li who was looking very angry. She sneered in her heart. She felt pretty good when she saw these people who were high-minded and low-handed being made as angry as clowns by her.
of.
Aunt Li saw that Duan Qingqian raised her head to look at her. She snorted coldly and left. As long as Duan Qingqian looks at you when talking, it means that she heard it. As long as she doesn't look at you, no matter how much you say.
It's useless, she can't hear you. Even if you hold her collar and speak close to her ear, as long as she doesn't look at you, she still can't hear you. This is a well-known thing in the Prime Minister's House.
Duan Qingqian packed her things slowly and then walked out of the room. If she wanted to survive in her current status, she still had to play with them occasionally.
Duan Qingqian also lowered her eyes along the way, making it difficult to see the emotions in her eyes. Aunt Li deliberately walked slowly so that Duan Qingqian could keep up with her, "Master, the eldest lady is here."
Duan Qingqian came in from the door. After bowing respectfully, he stood up straight and stood aside without saying a word. Duan Ruhao stared at Duan Qingqian's every move with squinting eyes. His eyes hurt when he saw him, but he didn't say anything.
It’s just a matter of seeing something.
He rarely sees this daughter on weekdays. Since Aunt Cui passed away 13 years ago, she has been ill for a few days. She used to have a quiet temperament before, but then she became withdrawn from others, only silent, and usually ignored others.
, during that time, he thought she had lost her soul, but she would occasionally hear something, but she became more and more elusive. Later, he didn’t know what happened, and he didn’t ask. Anyway, she was just a concubine, no matter what.
No matter how talented she is, she is just a concubine, with a low status and no chance to be on the stage.
However, the maids and servants who were waiting in her yard gradually dispersed, and now she is the only one living in the whole yard. Aunt Cui was also the official wife of Duan Ruhao Mingzheng at the beginning, but she was injured when she gave birth to Duan Qingqian.
As a result, she was unable to get pregnant in the future, so Duan Ruhao married an equal wife, who is now Mrs. Zhao Lingyue. When Mrs. Zhao was pregnant, Aunt Cui was jealous of her and was afraid that she would give birth to a son and wanted to harm her. It is unclear whether the truth is true.
Knowing that, Duan Ruhao demoted Mrs. Cui to Aunt Cui in anger, and Duan Qingqian also changed from a legitimate daughter to a concubine, and everything about her changed. The kitchen gave her some dishes every day or every few days, so that
She went to get food by herself. Except for the New Year and holidays when everyone had a meal together and she came out to eat together, Duan Ruhao never saw her at other times, and she never paid him a greeting.
When Duan Ruhao saw the lifeless and hopeless Duan Qingqian in front of him, he felt angry and said in a bad tone, "Naughty girl, after seeing so many young masters, what do you want?"
Duan Qingqian replied calmly, "There is no one I want to marry."
Duan Ruhao slammed the table and stood up, saying angrily: "Who do you think you are? Just because you are a concubine, what else do you want to choose? It's a complete waste of my and your mother's efforts."
Zhao Lingyue was also startled by Duan Ruhao just now and quickly comforted him, "Master, don't be angry. Qian'er didn't mean it. Please calm down. After all, I ignored this child before and gave her little education.
This is her temperament."
Duan Ruhao sat down angrily, picked up the tea next to him and downed it in one gulp, "Because of this rebellious girl, I was often laughed at by others in the court. Now I will leave a message here. After three months, you still won't be able to choose me."
If you are married, send it directly to the nunnery. If you don't like it, just go to your mother directly."
Zhao Lingyue said quickly, "Master, send it to a nunnery? Qian'er is still a girl, and it's not like she made any big mistake. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send it to a nunnery directly?" Then she said seriously: "Qian'er, you are so stupid
Can’t the child obey your father? A girl’s family always wants to marry someone. In the past, there were several mothers who looked good, and you always had to choose the one who was good or bad.”
Duan Qingqian was not limited by Duan Ruhao's domineering momentum at all, and still stood aside calmly, saying calmly: "I don't want to be a nun, I will not enter a nunnery, and my mother, I am actually a submissive person.
My child, I will only obey myself until death. Don’t ask me to give in. I won’t give in, especially since this is a major event for the rest of my life.”
Duan Ruhao was instantly angered by Duan Qingqian, who slapped the table so hard that even the teacup on the table shook, "What kind of evil did this happen? How could you be born like this?"
A wicked daughter who disobeys her father should pay attention to the three obediences and the four virtues: obey her father at home, obey her husband when she gets married, and obey her son when her husband dies.
Man, I see that the wicked daughter doesn’t obey her father at home, let alone obey her husband or son when she gets married, so as not to lose the face of our Prime Minister’s Mansion later. There is no need to make arrangements for her tomorrow whether she wants to get married or not.
, when the time comes, don’t blame me for being cruel and severing the father-daughter relationship with her! Huh!" After Duan Ruhao finished speaking, he shook his robe vigorously and left.
Outside the hall, a large number of people stretched out their ears to listen. When they saw Duan Ruhao coming out, the maids and servants quickly dispersed. The second young lady Duan Qingli and the third young lady Duan Qingya were listening at the door. They were too close.
She couldn't run away for a while, so she had to salute, "Li'er, Ya'er has met daddy!"
Duan Ruhao said yes and left.
Duan Qingli and Duan Qingya raised their heads and glanced at each other. They both saw gloating in each other's eyes. Duan Qingli and Duan Qingya both walked into the hall. "Mom." Zhao Lingyue raised her head and looked at the two daughters in front of her. They each had their own merits and felt extremely satisfied.
.
Duan Qingli is 18 years old this year. She is wearing a pink dress, her complexion is as white as ashes, and she walks gracefully and beautifully.
Duan Qingya is 17 years old this year. Just like her name, she gives people the impression of being as soft as a bone, as light as a clear spring and as elegant as a clear spring. Standing there is a landscape, one beautiful and graceful, the other gentle and charming.
"Li'er, Ya'er, you're here, hurry up, come and sit down."
When Duan Qingqian saw her two younger sisters coming, she thought of getting up and leaving. Anyway, nothing would happen to her.
But Duan Qingli and Duan Qingya didn't want to let her go like this. Originally, they had no grudges. At the beginning, they would make trouble for Duan Qingqian, but later they had to learn singing, dancing, poetry, female workers, etc.
There was no time to tease her. He had to have a few days of leisure occasionally. Duan Qingqian's attitude only made her anxious, and they did not want to go to such a deserted place. After that, it gradually faded away and they stopped interacting.
Sometimes they even forget that they have a big sister like her.
I originally thought that Duan Qingqian wouldn't bother them, but I didn't expect that two years ago, when Duan Qingli was 16 and had just turned hairpin, the palace originally drafted girls every two years.
Anyone who is not married can enter the palace to stand for election, but that year it was the Queen Mother who had full authority to handle it. She didn’t know what was going on, but that year she actually said that every palace would send New Year’s greetings.
The eldest Ji entered the palace to participate in the election, and the rest were not needed, and the eldest in their palace was Duan Qingqian. She was the only one who could enter, causing her to waste two years of her youth. Otherwise,
When she was 16 years old, she would definitely be selected. There will be a draft in the palace this year, but she is already 18 years old, and she doesn't know if the emperor will still like her by then.
The reason why Duan Qingya resents Duan Qingqian is because there are not many places to enter the palace, there are only two. Duan Qingli is the eldest daughter, there will definitely be one for her, and Duan Qingqian is the eldest lady, so she is the only one.
Went, because both Duan Ruhao and her mother said that the sisters are not married yet. As a sister, you can't be so anxious. You will be laughed at. You have to keep your children in order. The most hateful thing is that Duan Qingqian has already entered the palace.
Choose 2 times
, and she was not selected, once when she was 16 years old, again when she was 18 years old, and now when she is 20 years old, it seems that she may enter the palace again, unless she can get married before the emperor's draft, otherwise she will
There is no chance. If she cannot enter the palace to run for election this year, she will be 19 years old in two years. She will almost become an old girl. And if she cannot enter the palace to run for election this time, I am afraid her parents will help.
She is looking for her husband's family.
Duan Qingli first stopped Duan Qingqian who wanted to leave, and said with a chuckle: "Sister, we sisters finally got together, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Duan Qingya also echoed from the side, "That's right, eldest sister, it's hard to see you in person. We have a lot of studies and don't have time to go see eldest sister."
When Zhao Lingyue saw her two daughters targeting Duan Qingqian, she didn't say anything. She smiled and said, "You sisters have a good chat while mother goes down to arrange some things."
"Mom, walk slowly."
Duan Qingqian followed Zhao Lingyue after he left. By the time Duan Qingli and Duan Qingya reacted, Duan Qingqian had already left the hall. They originally wanted to ridicule Duan Qingqian, but they didn't expect her to run away. They were so angry
Stomp your feet.
"Second sister, the eldest sister is really a bit stubborn. She won't listen to anything she says. It's really annoying."
"It's indeed quite irritating. Come on, let's go to her yard. It would be bad if dad sees the people talking so much in this hall."
"Okay, let's go to her yard. Speaking of which, we haven't been there for a long time. We only have some time now that we have learned everything we need to learn."
"Walk."
The three or four maids waiting at the door followed him to Cuiyuan.
In the regent's palace, An Yunmo looked at the chattering aunt in front of him and frowned helplessly, "Aunt, it's getting late. Amo asked someone to arrange lunch. Can you go down and rest for a while?"
An Xinyan was in a daze, "Lunch? Oops, it's lunch time? Did you understand what my aunt just told you? I know you are an independent child, so don't think your aunt is nagging you.
"
Although An Yunmo felt helpless, he still replied seriously: "Auntie, Amo knows what to do."
"Huh, you know it in your heart. I think you don't know it at all. You said this five years ago, and now you are twenty and six years old. If you continue like this, you will see which girls from good families will follow you.
How can you make your father and mother feel at ease like this?"
Hearing An Yan mention his father and mother, An Yunmo's tone became more serious: "Auntie, let's just let it happen. Look at A Mo's broken body. Don't wrong this girl."
An Xinyan looked at An Yunmo. He was very handsome five years ago and became like this because of a war. Although An Yunmo is now wearing a mask, she has seen it before. It was very big and very deep.
The scar extends from the nose to the cheek. Because the weapon that injured him was poisoned, the scar cannot be removed. And now he is forced to sit in a wheelchair. During the war that year, her brother, who is a compatriot,
That is, An Yunmo's father, the former Emperor himself went into battle in armor and was injured in the battle. Later, he passed away not long after his return to the court. An Yunmo's mother was not in good health to begin with, and she followed him soon after.
