My name is Mu Wan, I am the legitimate daughter of the heir apparent of the Duke of Guizhou, and the only daughter of my parents.
I am eighteen years old this year. In two days it will be my wedding.
I was born in the land of Dianchi Lake. When I was nine months old, my parents brought me back to Nandu from the south of Caiyun and took me to the capital. I have never returned to the place of my birth since then. I heard from my mother that the sky there is high and the clouds are vast.
, flowers are fragrant all year round.
My mother must not have lied to me. There are all kinds of fragrances on my dressing table, which are made from flowers collected by my mother's flower shop and sent all the way to the capital to be delivered to my house.
A bottle as big as two or three fingers sells for ten taels of gold in the capital, and you have to order it one or two months in advance. But I have all kinds of perfumes on my dressing table, with all kinds of fragrances.
My father said that as long as I want to use it, I will have it delivered to me as soon as the workshop makes it.
My father and mother love me, I know. My grandmother, grandfather, uncles all love me, I know. My brother loves me, and my brothers are obedient. I feel that I am the happiest person in the whole capital, and no one can compare with me.
But my brother is far away in Yunnan now, and he can't come back to marry me, nor can he carry me in the sedan chair. I feel a little disappointed, and I miss my brother.
Two years ago, my brother married Zhu, the eldest daughter of Cheng Guogong. After only one month of marriage, he went to the southwest with his father to quell the chaos, and was later left behind by his father in Yunnan. His sister-in-law later followed her to Yunnan. Half a year ago,
My elder brother had an eldest son, and his second grandfather was named Mu Yuan.
My father also complained that it didn't sound good and insisted on changing my name to another one, but my mother stopped me.
My father kept nagging in front of me for a long time, saying that the name given by my second grandfather was not nice. I couldn't help but laugh and coaxed my father into giving me a nice nickname. Only then did my father get along with it.
In recent years, my second grandfather had been leaning towards his eldest uncle's family, and he listened to his eldest uncle's advice on almost everything. My father felt angry. But fortunately, my mother was by my side to persuade me, so my father didn't do anything more.
Only two years ago, when I took my brother to the southwest to quell the chaos, I left him behind. Now my brother and his family are all in Yunnan, and I don’t know when I will see him again.
I miss my brother. I know it will be very difficult to see him in the future. When I get married in two days, I won’t be able to help myself.
I felt very sad.
The cuckoo chirped several times outside, which only made me feel more irritable.
"Cuckoo, Cuckoo..." I was about to ask the maid to close the window, "Wan'er, it's me!" The voice was small and suppressed, but it passed into my ears clearly.
I looked up... "Why are you here?" I was stunned.
The groom who was born two days later was lying on the wall of my house. Who would believe it?
I looked around, ran out, looked up at him under the wall, "Are you crazy? Why are you here? Aren't you afraid that my father will break your legs?"
Xu Chengzong patted his leg on the wall and said, "Is this a dog's leg? Can you take a closer look?"
"I'm not looking!" I was shy and nervous. I lowered my head, looked around, made a silent gesture to the maids, and waved to them, then waved them away.
Xu Chengzong felt sweet in his heart and laid his head on his hands, "I knew it."
"You know what?" I looked up at him.
"I know you are reluctant to let your father-in-law beat me!"
After saying that, he arrogantly shook his leg on the wall, knowing that Wan'er felt sorry for him. Xu Chengzong lay on the wall and looked at his fiancée. Seeing that she was nervous and shy, he nervously held the handkerchief in his hand.
My pussy is almost broken by her rubbing. I really like it more and more.
His eyes narrowed with laughter, but he didn't know it.
What a fool. I laughed secretly and cursed. "Why did you come here?" I asked him in a low voice.
"I came here just because I missed you." He still had the same arrogant look, which made people want to beat him up.
I was so angry that I stamped my feet, "Stop talking nonsense. If you keep talking nonsense... If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you." I turned around and ignored him.
"Hey, hey, don't!"
Xu Chengzong was so anxious that he raised his upper limbs and put his other leg over him. He was about to jump in. I quickly stopped him and said, "Don't jump in!" I looked aside nervously.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I glared at him: "Have you forgotten what my father taught you last time? That time you lay in bed for several days and couldn't get up, and you forgot all about it?"
Xu Chengzong's buttocks suddenly tightened and his whole body trembled.
His father-in-law was really terrible and intimidating. He beat people without any mercy.
At that time, his brother Wei Guogong personally carried the limping him to apologize, in order to calm his father-in-law... No, it was not his father-in-law. In order to calm the prince of Guizhou, he even kicked him, causing him to suffer again.
I lay down for a few more days.
"I've already inquired, and my father-in-law is not at home today." Xu Chengzong was so proud as he thought of something.
"My father is not here, but my father's eyes and ears are everywhere in this house. I have many guards and secret guards. Would you like to jump down and try?" I looked at him proudly.
Xu Chengzong's raised head shrank back again, but he didn't dare.
If his father-in-law got angry and regretted the marriage, where would he find such a lovely woman?
He leaned back on the wall again and couldn't stop staring at Mu Wan. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He said with a crazy look on his face: "Why isn't the wedding tonight? I can't wait."
Ever since he bumped into her when she was attending a palace banquet when she was five years old, and she cried and wet her handkerchief and her sleeves, he could not forget her.
From that moment on, he wanted to take her home. She was so prone to crying that only he could coax her. He could only coax her.
It was great to think that she would be able to stay at home in two days. A smile appeared on her face again.
"Why are you giggling?" I glared at him.
"There are still two days." Xu Chengzong stretched out two fingers and shook them at me, with a smile on his lips and eyes, and even the palms on the wall were tapping briskly.
What a fool, I was embarrassed and angry and scolded him again.
Neither of us spoke. I lowered my eyes at the base of the wall, while he lay on the top of the wall and looked at me. It was strange and extremely harmonious.
After a while, I heard him say again: "Wan'er, I've decorated the house to look like yours, just like your room now. You must like it!" The voice was full of joy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is it the same as my current house?" I looked up at him.
The color of my room is all pink, and the bed cover, curtains, and soft couch are all painted pink. I was startled and looked at him suspiciously. Is there something wrong with this guy?
"You like this?"
Xu Chengzong raised his head and looked into Mu Wan's room, shaking his head, "I don't like this, but I like it if you like it."
What a fool. I scolded him again.
But my heart is sweet.
"Being married will be different from now. You don't have to dress up like my house. My mother said that when I get married, I must learn to be a good wife..."
Be a wife who sympathizes with her husband and cares about him, so that the love between husband and wife can grow further and further.
"Just be yourself. I like you no matter what. In the future, I will be like your father!" Be a good man who loves your wife.
Like my dad? I looked up at him. "How?"
"Just like your father. I promised my father-in-law." Xu Chengzong didn't say anything specifically, which made me jump in anger.
"Someone is coming! Wan'er, I'm leaving! I'll see you in two days!"
I looked up again, and his figure was no longer on the wall. I could only hear a thud on the outer wall.
My heart tightened. Did I fall? "Xu Chengzong, how are you?" There was no answer. I could only hear footsteps running away.
He was stupid and stupid. I was so angry that I scolded him again.
Like my father? Which way? I tilted my head. Is it like that to my mother? There is only one mother in my life? There is only mother in my heart.
The corner of my mouth raised.
Seeing the footsteps approaching, I looked up. "Mom!" I happily ran towards my mother.
"Why are you standing under the wall?" My mother smiled and stroked my cheek, with a smile on her face. She looked pleased but reluctant to give up.
Mom must be sighing that time flies by and I will get married in a blink of an eye.
It is now the second year of orthodoxy, and I am getting married at the age of eighteen. My eldest brother has given birth to a son, and my mother has grandchildren. Time flies by so fast that it is difficult to catch it.
"Mom, what are these?" I was stunned when I saw my mother leading the girl in with box after box of things.
Didn't my mother and father give me the dowry a long time ago? The dowry list was filled with stuff in the box, and I was not as good as a royal married daughter. My father also gave me many things secretly, without writing them down on the list.
Now my mother has sent it again?
"These are the cosmetics given to you by others, Wan'er, come and take a look." My mother pointed to the boxes and showed them to me. "The tops and noodles in these two boxes were given by your Aunt Ping."
Aunt Ping? I raised my eyes and saw that each of the two boxes contained a set of masks, inlaid with beads and jade, dazzling, "This is worth a lot of money!"
It's so beautiful, I couldn't help but exclaim.
My mother looked at the two boxes with a smile on her lips.
"Your Aunt Ping saved a lot of money in the early years and gave it to my mother to help her take care of it. It has earned a lot of interest over the years. My mother redeemed her body and she followed us to the capital. She married well and now she has a son.
The daughter is close to her, her husband loves her, and she lives a comfortable life. My mother originally invited her to come into the house to add makeup for you tomorrow, but she refused, and asked a servant to bring it to you today, saying that she was afraid of giving it to you.
Adding to the bad luck."
"Why does my daughter care about this?"
It's not like Aunt Ping chose to be a flower girl herself, her family sold her into a flower house a few years ago. I don't care about that.
"Your Aunt Ping is afraid that she is here, and it is her intention to let you be talked about. You can just accept these. In a few days, her daughter's birthday will come, and my mother will go to see her with gifts."
"Okay." I asked the servants to put away the dowry that Aunt Ping had added, and then went to look at the other boxes.
"These two items were sent by your aunt and great-aunt in the palace." Mom finished speaking and sighed.
Aunt Baguio was originally married into the East Palace. Later, Renzong ascended the throne. She only served as the concubine for ten months. Before the fame, Renzong was gone. When Emperor Xuande ascended the throne, she became the concubine.
But now it has been the second year of orthodoxy, and she has become the crown prince concubine again. And her great-aunt has become the crown prince concubine.
I instantly felt sympathy in my heart. Aunt Baguio and my great-aunt were having a hard time. When I have some free time in the future, I will go to the palace to see them.
Neither my mother nor I talked about Aunt Baguio and my great-aunt.
My mother pointed to another box and said to me, "These are sent by the Lu family."
"Sent from the Lu family?" I opened the box and looked at it. They were all jewelry. The workmanship was very fine, which made me happy. I know the Lu family.
Back then, when my mother and uncle went to Shangyong to visit Taizu, they encountered people blocking their way, including the Lu family.
Mother relieved their difficulties and saw that their clan was good at making stone and wood. At that time, the imperial court was busy moving the capital to build the city of Beiping, so mother recommended them to move to the capital.
The Lu family listened to their mother's words and moved to the capital. They made great efforts in building the city of Beiping, and even the Ministry of Industry commended their family. From then on, the Lu family took root in the capital.
Later, my father learned that the ancestors of the Lu clan had produced several great generals, and that many of their descendants were skilled in martial arts, so he recommended several outstanding disciples from their clan to join the army.
Nowadays, several children of the Lu family hold official positions, and they are extremely grateful to their father and mother. From the clan leader to the clan members, they deeply feel the kindness of their father and mother in re-creating their lives. During every year and festival, the clan leader will visit his family with his clan members.
I looked at my mother and felt that I must have accumulated virtue in my previous life and devoted myself to my father and mother. In the future, I will also learn from my parents and give roses to others to leave a lingering fragrance.
"Shi Zian." The maid's voice sounded outside.
"It's Dad! Dad is back!" I pulled my mother out to greet her.
