The cold wind is scorching, and the night is bright in winter, the low room is still groggy. Lin Weixi was lying on the bed with her fine eyebrows frowning, and she knew that she was not peaceful in her sleep.
The sound of cooking gradually sounded in the village, and the farmers did not have a good time. Even in such a cold day, many people got up to burn wood and cook. The brightest main room in the yard also heard noises. It seemed that Aunt Lin had risen. Lin Weixi was vague and thoughtful, but his limbs were weak and confined in a dream, unable to break free.
In the dreamlike vermilion courtyard, a maid is combing a double bun, and the fabric is crisp and bright lu silk. She lowered her head, as if she did not dare to face the person in front of her, her voice was as fine as a mosquito, "My concubine, just the front yard Come over and pass a message, saying that the son is busy today, but he is here. If the madam is unwell, call the emperor to come and have a look."
The woman opposite seemed to have stopped for a long time. After a long while, she faintly sounded with a dumb voice: "Busy? I don't know what is so important. It is even more tight than my normal wife who is about to die of illness."
"lady……"
"Stop talking, I don't want to listen." The woman coughed twice, and she seemed to suppress the cough as hard as she could, and refused to lose her breath in front of others. The maid standing outside also knew the master's rules, holding her breath and lowered her head, not looking at the other side's sickness. After a while, the cough finally eased a little. The woman didn't care about moistening her throat with tea, but insisted on asking, "Who came to pass the message?"
The maid couldn't bear it: "The concubine..."
"Say!"
The maid sighed and said, "It's Miss Yunhui."
"Yun Hui..." The woman laughed lightly, unable to tell whether it was ridicule or self-deprecating, "It turned out to be her, but she couldn't compete, and she couldn't compete. She had served her son for many years and was given by Princess Shen. How can I be compared by an outsider."
She is obviously the concubine of the eldest son, but he says that she is an outsider. This will definitely be a joke in other people's houses, but in the palace of the king of Yan, the maid knows that the concubine of the elder is not bad.
The eldest son and the eldest concubine have only been married for one year, and they are even worse than strangers. The concubine Shi Zi was seriously ill, and these servants went to the front yard with the secret of the concubine Shi Zi and invited four times, but the results were more chilling than ever. The maid knew that although the concubine Shizi was tough and she was not allowed to intercede with her son, but she turned a blind eye to their little actions, showing that the concubine Shizi also wanted to see her. But no, the eldest son has never been here.
Lin Weixi was still lying on the simple wooden bed with his eyes closed, but tears continued to flow from the corners of his eyes, making the pillow wet. Lin Weixi knew that he had been caught by nightmare. Even in the dream, the memories of the past would not let him go. He took her back to the Yan Palace and her failed marriage.
In fact, she was not originally called Lin Weixi, nor was she a girl in this small village. Her previous natal family was very prominent. She was originally called Gao Xi, the eldest granddaughter of the British government. Her biological father was the only granddaughter of the government, and her biological mother was the only daughter of Princess Shoukang. She was reborn in this kind of family and she came from quite a good background.
Because of her high status, Gao Xi was very strong since she was a child. Later, her marriage didn't make her lose face. Relying on the face of her grandmother, she actually married the Yan King's only son, Gu Chengyao. After the announcement of the marriage, the whole city was shocked that Princess Shoukang was able to make Gao Xi the only son of King Yan, and the face of Princess Shoukang was very real.
Speaking of King Yan, looking at the world, regardless of men, women, young and old, it is Huangkou Xiaoer who has heard of his prestigious name. In the last years of Emperor Jianzhao’s turmoil, the imperial concubine Bu Guifei was domineering, and the court was controlled by Quan Huan. If King Yan entered the King Qin in time, set aside the chaos and punish the eunuch, I am afraid that the days that follow would change drastically. King Yan tried his best to help the emperor to calm the chaos, and after the death of the first emperor, he supported the new emperor who was only eight years old to succeed. The vassal state of the Great Zhou Dynasty deceived the new emperor when he was young. In the second year, many places in the border were ready to move. King Yan took the initiative to ask for battle and brought the army out of Beijing to pacify the chaos. news. After the good news came, the court cheered, and to put it more bluntly, the little emperor was young, the queen mother was cowardly, and the bureaucrats in the court were in chaos. Now the whole Zhou Dynasty is guarded by King Yan.
King Yan is only a son of Gu Chengyao. As Gu Chengyao's wife, Gao Xi's father-in-law has repeatedly made military exploits. She should feel proud. It is a pity that the glory of the Yan Palace belongs to the Yan Palace and has nothing to do with her concubine.
Gao Xi sometimes wondered, when she first married Gu Chengyao, when she had a deep affection, why did he become cold all of a sudden?
I still remember that on the night of the first marriage, when Gu Chengyao picked up his hijab, he deliberately avoided everyone, and said to her with a smile: "Look, I have found you."
Gao Xi was confused, what does this mean? However, the newlyweds were already thin-skinned, and Gu Chengyao regarded her silence as shy and stopped mentioning it with a faint smile. Which girl does not cherish spring, Gao Xi grew up listening to King Yan’s deeds, and now he can marry King Yan’s only child, and the other person is still such a deity, Gao Xi’s heart is immediately hit, and he becomes anxious and happy. Gu Chengyao's wife. In the next month, the two of them had a strong affection, almost inseparable. Gao Xi fell into a honeypot happily. She had seen her mother grow up in a concubine house since she was a child. She never thought that her marriage would be unexpected. Can be so happy.
But she still miscalculated God's kindness. The flowers will wither, the confidante will grow old, and things that are too good will never stay long. In just one month, Gu Chengyao's attitude changed sharply. That day, he looked at her coldly and asked: "Why are you lying? Why do you want to substitute?"
what?
She was sewing clothes for Gu Chengyao at that time. She was not very good at female celebrities, because she was not good at it, so she didn't like doing it more and more. But now, she wants to make a set of clothes for Gu Chengyao with her own hands, piercing her fingers with needles. Hearing Gu Chengyao's words, Gao Xi was inexplicable, why lied? What to replace?
Since then, Gao Xi and Gu Chengyao's relationship between husband and wife has cooled down, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has fallen dramatically. Gao Xi is the eldest granddaughter of the government, and another grandmother who is the eldest princess is spoiled. She has a very strong temper. If Gu Chengyao doesn’t come, don’t come again. Don’t expect her to do the same as those concubines. Fighting for favor to stay.
Later, their husband and wife became more and more strange, and they turned into enemies. In the end, when Gao Xiyu fell ill and couldn't get up again on the sickbed, Gu Chengyao refused to even look at her.
Gao Xi is a very proud person, but this failed marriage completely destroyed all her pride.
Gao Xi was unwilling to die when she was about to die. How could she not do well? Why doesn't Gu Chengyao like her? Even if you don't like it, how can you not even give her the last dignity of his wife?
Xu was because of Yu's resentment, her soul was not taken away by the bull's head, she floated for a while, and she returned to the world again.
This time, Gao Xi finally knew why Gu Chengyao would ask her those two sentences and why he suddenly fell out of favor.
Gao Xi saw a book amidst the vast expanse of whiteness. She was puzzled and flipped through it tentatively. Then she was shocked to the extent that she was stiff and trembling by the contents.
There is Gao Xi's life in the book, but unfortunately, the protagonist is not her, but Gao Xi's concubine. She has been stunned since childhood, Gao Ran.
The book says that Gao Ran is traversing, and Gao Xi doesn’t understand what traversal is, but this is just a passing point in the book, not important. What really makes Gao Xi care about is the story behind.
According to the description in the book, Gao Ran became an unfavored concubine in the British government after passing through. She was only six years old. She had just contracted a serious illness and almost died. Perhaps it is already dead, so that Gao Ran can replace it.
After Gao Ran resurrected with a corpse, Shell was a six-year-old girl, but her soul was a 26-year-old adult. With the help of modern knowledge and adult experience, she pretended to be stupid, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and not only helped herself. His biological mother, the Han family, became the favorite concubine of the princely son of the British prince, and even taught her own brother, who would later be established as the princely son of the princely mansion as a bastard. Gao Ran saved a masked man in a Buddhist temple when she was 13 years old. She didn't want to reveal her identity, but the other party held her hand and refused to let her go. Gao Ran had no choice but to remove a jade pendant from her body. Let him find it by himself if he is capable.
Gao Xi burst into tears when he saw this place with a sorrowful laugh. No wonder, when she was a child, Gao Ran was always accused by her elders of being sensible and caring. No matter what she learned, Gao Ran was not as quick to get started. Gao Xi originally thought that Gao Ran might be born smart, but now that she thinks about it, Gao Ran is not a child at all. The age is even comparable to Gao Xi's mother, an old fairy who lives in a child's body, no wonder she is well-rounded.
No wonder Gu Chengyao said to Gao Xi that day in the bridal chamber, "Look, I still found you." No wonder Gu Chengyao later said she lied.
That's it, that's it!
The corners of Gao Xi's eyes were red with anger. Her mother, Wei Shi, is the daughter of Princess Shoukang. The Princess is just such a child. It is conceivable that the personality is accustomed to being delicate. Therefore, Wei has always been holding the frame of a distinguished lady, with a cold expression, refuses to soften his body to coax her husband and son-in-law, and refuses to make a gentle gesture. From a young age, Gao Xi watched his mother keep a light alone. From the evening to dawn, he could not wait for the arrival of his husband. At this time, Gao Xi's father, the British son, was mostly in the Han family's yard.
Gao Xi felt sorry for his mother and was angry with the fox-mei concubine in the west courtyard. But she is a concubine, and it is impossible for her to surrender her status and live with a concubine, so she desperately studies and wants to compare the daughter of the Xiyuan. However, the strange thing is that no matter how much work Gao Xi spends in private, it is always better to do things appropriately and well. Gao Ran can play novel minor tunes, which surprised the piano teacher. She invented gomoku and checkers, which attracted brothers and sisters in the family to vie for friendship. Sometimes, Gao Ran would blurt out some extremely delicate verses, but when asked again, Gao Ran smiled faintly, saying that he only thought of this sentence, and forgot the rest.
No one believes that Gao Ran has really forgotten such subtle verses, only that she is hiding behind her, so everyone in the palace pays more attention to her. Under the pressure of such a concubine, Gao Xi is under pressure. Fortunately, Gao Xi's identity was thrown out of Gao Ran's street. Under the auspices of Princess Shoukang, Gao Xi and Gu Chengyao of the Yanwang Mansion made a marriage. Gao Xi once thought in her heart that she finally won the game of Gao Ran. There will never be anyone in the capital higher than Gu Chengyao. Gao Ran, even if he jumps again, his husband's family will be lower than himself in the future.
It's a pity that things are so funny. Gao Ran once rescued a man in a Buddhist temple. By coincidence, this man was Gu Chengyao. At that time, Gao Ran pulled a jade pendant off his body in order to get away. The jade pendant was in the shape of a double fish. It was originally a pair. This was made by someone outside and gave it to Gao Xi. Gao Xi felt that the carving was still exquisite, so he gave it half a finger to Gao Ran.
That was originally Gao Xi's jade pendant, but Gao Ran was afraid of getting into trouble, so he took Gao Xi's things out to eliminate the disaster. Gao Xi gave things in private, and if someone came to the door in the future, it would be Gao Xi who left the handle.
Gu Chengyao fell in love with the mysterious woman who had saved him on that moonlit night. Although she didn't see her face, she was determined not to marry her. By mistake, Gu Chengyao used the half jade pendant to find Gao Xi and married Gao Xi. He was full of thought that Gao Xi was a lifesaver. In the first month after the marriage, the two of them mixed oil. However, in the second month, Gao Xi returned to her family's house. Gu Chengyao accompanied her back and saw her in the British government. Wife and sister, Gao Ran.
Without knowing it, Gao Xi was repaid, lied, and abandoned.
The vicious sister-in-law who deceived her feelings and replaced her kindness was dismantled. After that, her marriage was unfortunate, and Gao Xi had a strong personality. The more Gu Chengyao ignored her, the more she had to prove it to everyone. Gao Xi personally manages the Yanwang Mansion, drastically rectifying the fields and shops of Yanwang Mansion, internally suppressing the people around Gu Chengyao, and fighting against the personal girl Yunhui who has served Gu Chengyao for ten years. Gao Xi fully thinks that as long as he is good enough, Gu Chengyao could see her well, and changed his mind.
But she threw herself down and died, and could not wait for Gu Chengyao to change her mind.
If the story only ends here, Gao Xi sighs that he has no good luck and doesn't have enough fate with Gu Chengyao. But the story in the book has only progressed for a while, and the real climax has just arrived. After the death of Gao Xi's failed eldest sister and his wife, the British government also felt that Gao Xi was unqualified. He was simply a counterexample to his wife. The British government was guilty of Gu Chengyao and proposed to let Gao Ran marry to fill the house. Gu Chengyao certainly agreed. So not long after Gao Xi died, Gao Ran married as a continuation string.
After Gao Ran married into King Yan's Mansion, she followed Gu Chengyao with gentleness and insignificance. Gu Chengyao also cherishes those who have been lost and recovered. The two have a close heart, and they know each other. Gu Chengyao moved sincerely to Gao Ran behind, and even dismissed her concubine for her, petting her alone. After many years, Gu Chengyao took over the mantle of King Yan and became the new mainstay of the DPRK, but even so, he never took a concubine.
The second half of the book is the sweet daily life of Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran. Between the lines, it is said that Gu Chengyao loves Gao Ran, how smart and capable she is. She is a graceful and caring wife, and also a respected son in the Yanwang Mansion. Concubine. When people in the capital praise Gao Ran, they will always pull Gao Xi out and use Gao Xi’s downright failure to contrast Gao Ran’s high EQ. Finally, I have to conclude:
Sure enough, marrying a woman can’t just look at family history, character and temperament are Most importantly, the eldest lady of the British government and the empress of Yan Wang are the best examples."
Look, Gao Xi, the original wife, is not even qualified to be the title of concubine.
When Gao Xi saw this, she didn't want to read on anymore, she closed the book and let the tears fill her cheeks.
The Buddha said that there are seven sufferings in the world, birth, old age, sickness and death, resentment and hatred, love parting, and cannot ask for it.
Gu Chengyao is what Gao Xi could not ask for. She didn’t like her father and male elders since she was a child. After marrying someone she liked, she saw that he ignored herself, so she had to cover up with her toughness and carelessness, and then she tried her best to attract him. come back. Until she exhausted herself and died in depression, she didn't keep her husband's son-in-law turning back.
In fact, when Gao Xi died, he knew that Gu Chengyao was young and had an outstanding family background. He would definitely continue to marry in the future. With the power of King Yan, there are aristocratic women in the capital who are not inferior to her, rushing to marry Gu Chengyao as heirs. But that person, alone cannot be Gao Ran. Gao Xi hastily scanned the second half of the book, only to realize that Gu Chengyao would also toss and turn and ask for it. He would also put down his body to please a woman. He even had no regrets, and could defend himself like a jade for a woman without touching other women.
Gao Xi saw a word in the book, scumbag. Even if Gao Xi had never heard of it, he could guess the meaning of the word literally. Is Gu Chengyao a scumbag? It doesn't seem to be said that he will be deeply affectionate, and only take a scoop of the weak water three thousand, but this affectionate, after all, did not give Gao Xi.
Gao Xi was very embarrassed, and his eyes gradually blurred. Before losing consciousness, Gao Xi saw a delicate girl smile shyly at her: "Benefactor sister, I'm going to find my father. You saved me six years ago. I have nothing to do with me, so I have to trouble you to live for me."
Gao Xi slept in a daze for a long time. When she woke up, she saw a half-old bed net, a dark wooden cabinet, and a pair of slender, white hands.
It seemed to be very noisy outside, and many people were clamoring, and Gao Xi vaguely heard words such as "martyrdom", "king of Yan's decree" and "Fenghou". Gao Xi walked to the vanity mirror with his weak body, and stared at the face in the mirror for a long time.
Yes, the eldest granddaughter and concubine Gao Xi of the British government is dead. From today, she is Lin Weixi.
