Marriage by Heaven II

The imperial capital, Xunyang.

The snow is white, the red plums are in full bloom, and you can smell the cold plum fragrance blowing in the wind from afar.

The world is covered in silver, the eaves of the house are covered with snow, rustling, the five tall and three thick men coughed heavily, stomped their feet, and the white plums in front of the house could shake off fine snow particles.

The long street is vast, and the pedestrians are tightly packed, only a pair of eyes are left to look around, which is a little funny, and everyone on the street is like this, so they are at their own pace.

It's time to step on the snow and snow, it's time to enjoy the plum blossoms, it's cold, rub your hands together and buy a bowl of bean curd on the side of the road, take two sips of it, the heat will rush to your stomach, put down the bowl, and you will be a hero of winter outings.

The people in Xunyang have beautiful scenery, and women from all families travel by car without touching the ground, with the curtains of the car lightly lifted, looking at the cold winter, not to mention other things, they are particular about it.

The children of the aristocratic family are proud, unscrupulous, and have outstanding appearance and demeanor. Even if Mei Lin blooms a wonderful flower in the prosperous age, he will not join in the fun like ordinary people to watch.

Even if you want to read it, you have to surround it with a circle, and when it is quiet around you, you can read it slowly and carefully.With poetry and painting, Ming Dynasty can hold a banquet and invite all celebrities and nobles to appreciate it.

This is an elegant thing, but it is really troublesome.

But troublesomeness and exquisiteness are always mixed together, and the world can't tell the difference.

But if the current Patriarch of the Zhou family is too lazy to say two more words, he can only say one: pretend!

It's so good at pretending, every time Zhou Xingtang sees the young people of the aristocratic family pretending to be elegant and flirtatious, his eyelids can't help twitching.

At this moment, she was standing on the stone steps of the family's gate, wearing a big cloak, her hair on the temples was slightly frosty, and her eyebrows were stained with melancholy.It's not that he was offended by the little guy from the Xunyang family nowadays.

She has a good temperament, and she has been trained by the court since she was a child. Although she is a direct descendant, she has become the young master of the Zhou family.

Even though there are fine lines around the corners of the eyes now, the delicacy of youth is still engraved between the eyebrows and eyes.The charm that has been accumulated over the years can make people cringe at the slightest glance.

Of course, the powerful family head also has troubles.

The heavy snow fluttered and landed lightly, and Zhou Xingtang sighed again.

She was holding a letter in her hand, a thin sheet, if the wind was stronger, it might be able to tear the letter into pieces.She took the letter slowly, not allowing the wind to damage the thin paper.

"Is Daddy lonely?"

She raised her head and looked in the direction of the Xunyang plum forest. Needless to say, there must be many plum admirers there.

So elegant, and arty.

Zhou Xingtang has lived half her life, and she has met many high-ranking people in the land of Kyushu, but if you want to say that she is really elegant and romantic, it is her father who is the most carefree and beautiful in Kyushu.

Father left Xunyang decades ago, and the imperial capital lost seven points of its fresh and romantic energy.She thought: I really should let the younger generation see what a real romantic family is.

The real romantic is not a small peony flower that has a good appearance and pretends to be untouchable in the greenhouse, or a plum blossom that pretends to be like a plum forest.Pretending is not pretending.The beauty of Merry lies in a real character, and the wonder lies in not being tired of the word 'Merry'.

An understatement of fame, fortune and power, full of dignitaries drinking freely and singing freely.

It is the wisdom and wisdom that cannot be questioned, and the domineering might that can suppress the chaos of mountains and rivers with one hand.

Looking at the word "Don't worry" on the reply letter, the familiar handwriting, seeing the words is like seeing the person.

Zhou Xingtang gently gathered his clothes, his father told him not to worry, but how could he not worry?How old is she, and her father still wants to find a stepmother for her, and the stepmother is eighteen years old, what's the matter.

Who is the prostitute daughter of the Yuan family who has been lost for 18 years, who can attract father to re-enter the world for her, and fall in love with her again?

Daddy, have you forgotten Aniang?

The former fairy couple, the love she envied most.

Once upon a time, Zhou Xingtang thought that she could not be as infatuated as her parents, so she was affectionate and not dedicated, and she thought of everything for the succession of the family.It's just a man, if you like it, you want it, if you don't like it, you abandon it, why not?

She can do whatever she wants, her father is like a fairy in her heart, so how can she...

"Where did Yuanjia's car go?"

"Return to master, it's time to enter the city tomorrow at the latest."

tomorrow……

She asked, "Where's Daddy?"

"The old Patriarch is accompanying him all the way, and he should be here tomorrow."

Hearing that his father was escorting the daughter of the Yuan family back to the city, Zhou Xingtang rubbed the center of his brow lightly, feeling irritable for no reason, it's nothing.Waving his hand: "Go down."

Two streets away, Yuan's house.

"Lantern! The lantern is crooked, point to the left, hey, no, point to the right!"

The young man hanging the lantern was annoyed by being directed back and forth, left, right, left, right, and right. He stood on the wooden ladder with his hips akimbo, not afraid of falling off, and frowned: "Third brother! Can you trust me!"

He yelled at the top of his voice, Yuan Sanlang squinted his eyes, and raised the oval lens on the bridge of his nose: "Oh, brother Thirteen, brother didn't mean to torment you......"

He shook his head and muttered: "Oh, this lens should be repaired by the priest, the spiritual energy circle on it is about to fail..."

Yuan Shisan, who was standing on the ladder, had good ears, and almost fell down angrily when he heard this: Well, he is stupid, there are so many brothers in the family, why can't he think about looking for the third brother who is not good at eyesight? Help to check.

Among the brothers and sisters, the third brother and the ninth sister are the most educated. They also study literature.

I don't know which Taoist came to Xunyang the year before last, met the third brother, and said that the third brother was blessed. After selling it, he gave a pair of oval objects, which were blessed with a small formation, and the aura flowed into the eyes, which solved the problem of the third brother's blindness. The problem of blindness.

Yuan Shisan thought so, it was not difficult for him, and called the busy boy over.

Finally hung up the lantern, he got down the wooden ladder, and kindly patted Third Brother on the shoulder: "Third Brother, hurry up and ask the Taoist priest for help, or you won't even be able to see what she looks like when Fourteen comes back, and you will see her later." You made a mistake, let's see if Auntie won't beat you up!"

After being reminded by him, Yuan Sanlang slapped his forehead suddenly: "Yes, I'll go to the Taoist priest, you guys go ahead first."

"Bullying your third brother again?"

"Huh? Brother."

Yuan Shisan smiled brightly, looking at Yuan's eldest son Yuan Xiu who was facing the wind in front of Yushu.

Yuan Xiu was the champion of the new department the year before last, with both civil and military skills, and excellent looks. There are countless daughters from aristocratic families who secretly admire him in Xunyang.

This person is a typical sister-in-law. Because of his family's troubles after seventeen, someone will clean them up, and he is admitted to the first prize in one go.At the age of 25, he is already a senior official on Thursday.

In his eyes, the younger sisters are all treasures that must be cherished, and the younger brothers are all grass that must withstand the wind and rain.

Yuan Shisan was often beaten by him when he was a child, and the more the brothers were beaten, the deeper their feelings became. Everyone was convinced by this eldest brother.

In order to welcome the fourteenth back home, the family even changed the plaque hanging outside.

There was a lot of commotion in the Yuan family, and in less than half a day, all Xunyang knew that the daughter of the Yuan family who had been lost for 18 years had been found.

Not only that, the one who escorted her back was the one from the Zhou family.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Regardless of what the outsiders said, the Yuan family members were excitedly gearing up.

"The news is not wrong, is it? Fourteen Zhenhe—"

"Shut up! Why are you yelling about Wuying?" Yuan Xiu said with a cold face: "It's just ruined Fourteen Qingyu."

He was known as the majesty of the eldest brother, and the younger brothers and sisters under him fell silent and kept silent.

"Let's go prepare. When the time comes, father and mother, Shisi and the others will come back, and we must let Shishi feel our true love for our compatriots." Yuan Xiu is the oldest, calm-tempered, and when he mentions the lost Shishi, there is a look in his eyes Laughing: "If you don't behave well, don't blame Shisi for not recognizing you."

He waved his sleeves and left, Yuan Shisan stroked his chin and said, "Fourth brother, you said..."

"what?"

"You said that big brother's behavior won't scare our good Shishi, right? I always feel that big brother is holding back his strength and not doing anything." This is because someone else said something bad about Shi Qi, so he worked hard to win the first prize in one fell swoop and then The ruthless person who slaps the opponent in the face!

The hidden sister-in-law can't be provoked.

They are all elder brothers, how could they take over the elder brother in order to please Shi Shiyi?

Genshiro's face is like a good girl, she is extremely delicate and feminine, and her voice is gentle and soft, like dripping water. Since the laws of the Great Zhou tacitly allowed same-sex marriage, women from aristocratic families who admire Genshiro can line up from the house to the west gate!

He has a kind personality and speaks in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Thirteenth Brother, Fourteenth will like us. Compared with the temperament of the elder brother who loves his sister very much, we are not bad. Moisturizing things silently is also the highest state of love." .”

Yuan Sanlang wore oval lenses blessed by aura, and slender gold chains were pinned behind his ears: "Yes, yes, I specially took half a month's leave in Qin Tianjian, in order to take Shi Si to travel around Xunyang... "

"What?!" Yuan Shisan stared at him with wide eyes: "Third brother! How could you do this!"

He left in a hurry and went to the academy to ask the dean for leave.

The girl from the Yuan family poked her head and whispered, sharing the reliable information she got from the Seventeenth Sister's letter.

At the same time, the Qin Ji people have not yet arrived in Xunyang, and their reputation has spread throughout the family.

The story of the banished fairy from the Zhou family robbing his wife in Qiushui City has long been rumored, and he re-entered the world after 20 years, which made many juniors who grew up listening to "his" stories have an infinite yearning for the number one color in Kyushu.

But the person who was looking forward to fell into the mortal world for a woman, and the woman from the Xunyang family was full of jealousy, waiting to see Yuan Shishi's joke.

How come anyone dares to cling to the figures on the clouds!

"Where is Qiushui a good place? Where did the bumpkins come from? The Yuan family is just an upstart, and they don't even know the rules. They are not afraid of offending the current Patriarch Xingtang if they want to ruin that person's reputation at will!"

"I heard that Patriarch Xingtang seems to be quite troubled by this matter..."

"Huh? What kind of distress method?"

"The Patriarch is Madam Ning's raised child, if Madam Ning hadn't carried the Patriarch back to the Zhou family, who is the current ruler of the Zhou family?

The Patriarch and Mrs. Ning have a deep affection for their mother and daughter, and the old Patriarch was confused by outsiders, not to mention Yuan Shishi's appearance, but his age alone is not suitable.The head of the family is old enough to be the grandmother of Yuan Fourteen, let alone the one who stays young forever. "

Since he is a character on the cloud, who is qualified to tear him down?

They are not qualified, so why Yuan Fourteen?

"In my opinion, this matter is purely nonsense. The Yuan family wanted to create momentum for their long-lost pro-daughter, and they dared to talk about the Shangzhou family. She was the one who couldn't get involved. Not to mention the attitude of the head of the Xingtang family, Mrs. Ning Taoli All over the world, those disciples refused to agree to that one's empathy. The Yuan family is afraid that they will suffer backlash this time."

"Who can control that one who really wants to empathize? Her Majesty the Empress is that junior. Looking at Kyushu, who can stop what 'he' wants to do?"

"I don't believe that person will be tempted."

"I don't believe it either."

"But what if that person really wants to choose a successor?"

The women of the aristocratic family looked at each other in blank dismay, the elders of their family were already thinking about which good girl to present.

Who wouldn't want to be the second lucky Mrs. Ning in this world?

Marrying the one with eternal youth is more prestigious than being a queen.

Such a good person, such a good thing, why can't I be the lucky one?

For a while, everyone's complexion changed slightly, each with their own ghosts.

It was windy and snowy.

The Yuan family's carriage back to the city was traveling slowly on the road.

Zhou Jing sat on the horse's back carelessly in a long gown, sometimes Yuan Ci said a few words, but most of the time he looked at Xun Yang in the distance and meditated.

Xunyang, I haven't seen you for 20 years.

Sitting in the warm and comfortable carriage, Qin Ji opened the curtain, not daring to look at it, and quickly put it down again.

Her attitude is that she is secretly watching who the mother and daughter of the Yuan family know. Xie Wenyan held her daughter's hand and said earnestly: "Have you ever thought about your own marriage at Shisi?"

marriage?She was slightly startled, besides marrying her benefactor, who else could she marry?

She pursed her lips lightly, and chose the most infallible answer: "This matter depends on Ah Jing's will." If Ah Jing marries her, she will.Ah Jing is not in a hurry, so she is not in a hurry either.

It means to look at Ah Jing, not to look at parents.Even knowing that he missed his daughter for 18 years, Xie Wenyan still felt sour.

Fourteen fell in love with the old Patriarch, to the point where he had to be.

This marriage should be prepared earlier.

Otherwise, if she enters Xunyang, there will be no definite number for a long time, and it must be her fourteenth who will suffer and be wronged.

How popular and attractive that person is, the past has long shown.

Marrying such a beautiful and romantic beauty, she might be envied by many people in her fourteenth year.What's more, the current ruler of the aristocratic family - Patriarch Xingtang, is not so easy to talk to at all.

Thinking that her precious daughter would have to suffer twists and turns in her marriage, she swallowed her words.

In the final analysis, the Yuan family's family status is still too low.Compared with the old aristocratic families, the upstarts in the imperial court lacked some background and confidence after all.

Yuan Shiqi laughed and said, "Why does Auntie only see that elder sister must be elder brother Jing, but ignore elder brother Jing's love for elder sister? The two of them are destined to be together. No one can tear them apart.

When we arrived in Xunyang, if there were women from any family who dared to make irresponsible remarks, I would beat them so hard that they dared not speak back.Anyway, there are many older brothers in the family, so they can't beat me. "

Qin Ji laughed, and looked forward to Xunyang: "In Shiqi's view, I'm actually a soft bun?"

"Oh, sister, how dare I think like that?"

She coaxed everyone in the carriage to smile coquettishly.

Yuan Jiuniang said: "Sisi lived well in Qiushui, and she will live better when she returns to Xunyang. Xunyang is her real home. With us here, Auntie, no one can bully her. "

"Yes, Ma'am, with us here, whoever dares to speak ill, I'll scold them to death!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xie Wenyan looked at her angrily, Yuan Shiliu accidentally lost his composure, and laughed twice: "Besides, brother Jing is here, who can really bully sister?"

It was snowing heavily, talking and laughing in the ear, Qin Ji was moved, but her mind was gradually not on it.

She was thinking of the people outside the carriage, carefully hearing the familiar voice in the howling wind and snow, the closer she was to Xunyang, the more nervous she was.

Inexplicable, unspeakable, tremor.
