I promise

Chapter 1 Entering Gusu

In December in Suzhou, there is snow in the middle of winter.

Big balls of goose feather snow are like torn flocs, tearing the sky and the earth into a vast expanse.

A two-wheeled carriage drove through the snow and stopped in front of a vermilion lacquered gate.The door plaque hangs high, with three big characters "Yunjiazhuang" written in it, with vigorous writing and majestic weather.

Two servants quickly ran over and opened the door.

The accompanying mother put the footstool under the carriage.Because the snow was fluffy, I specially pressed it firmly to confirm that the footstool was placed securely, and then I rushed into the carriage with a smile on my face and said, "Miss San, we're here."

The curtain is raised.

A maid wearing a bright blue jacket poked her head out of the car, her chin was pointed, her black eyes were lively and clever, and she jumped out of the car lightly: "Miss San, I will help you, the snowy road is slippery, be careful!" Get down."

A hand as slender as jade stretched out from the carriage and took Xiaoye's hand.

A tall woman stepped out of the carriage.He was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a snow-white cloak, his eyebrows were like smoke, his eyes were like deep pools, and his skin was snow-white almost the same color as the cloak.

A head of black hair hangs down to the waist, as thick as splashed ink, black and white contrast each other clearly, exuding an unearthly coolness.

Zhao's mother, who was waiting outside the car, quickly opened the oil-paper umbrella and covered the woman's head.

The housekeeper, Yao Qingmu, hurried up to meet her, smiling all over her face: "Miss San has worked hard all the way. The master received the letter and was looking forward to it early in the morning. It can be regarded as the return of Miss San."

Behind him was a blue soft sedan chair, and he came up to him as he spoke: "It's windy and snowy, please get on the sedan chair to avoid the wind."

The woman called Miss San helped Xiaoye's hand get out of the car, facing everyone's enthusiasm, her expression was only indifferent, and she said: "No need, I will walk to get some air."

Yao Qingmu laughed and said, "That's okay, it just so happens that the plum blossoms in Erzhuang are in bloom today, and it's also a beautiful thing to enjoy the flowers in the snow."

With a wink, the bearer lifted the soft sedan chair and followed the group of people not too far or too close.

Mu Dianke raised his eyes and surveyed the interior of Yunjiazhuang, only to see that there are many pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and winding corridors, it really is a rich and splendid home.

The eaves in the distance and the trees nearby are all covered with thick snow, piled up with jade, which is a special scene.

In a vast expanse of white, clusters of red plums are in full bloom, fiery red like clouds, at a glance, the colors are distinct, the brush strokes are like splashes, the beauty is magnificent and shocking.

Xiaoye said with a smile: "Miss San doesn't know that the plum blossoms in our Zhuangzi are among the best in Gusu City. Every year at this time, the wives and ladies in the city rush to come to pay their respects, just to see our plum blossoms. The plum blossoms in the village."

Before Mu Dianke came, he deliberately learned about various customs in Suzhou.

I heard that people here, both men and women, are very elegant, and they often gather together to cook wine, drink tea, sing and dance.

In spring, you can enjoy peaches and plums in spring, go boating in summer to enjoy lotus flowers, and fight chrysanthemums in autumn. At this time, when all the flowers are in full bloom, of course you can only watch plum blossoms.

Mu Dian, a killer who has been running around in the desert for many years, really doesn't have much interest in the leisure interests of such boudoir women.Glancing at the red plum blossoms in full bloom in the distance, he said casually, "This flower is indeed blooming well."

Xiaoye said with a smile: "If Miss San likes plum blossoms, let's go to the Qimei Garden and have a look. The flowers there are the best in our village."

Yao Qingmu said with a smile: "The master said that the third lady is not in good health, and asked someone to move the best plum trees in the Qimei Garden to Qingpingju a month ago. The old servant went to see it in the morning, and the meeting was just in time. Even if Miss San doesn't go out, she can sit in the warm pavilion and enjoy the flowers."

Speaking of this, Mu Dian couldn't be too indifferent, and said with a smile: "Butler Yao has a heart."

The master didn't care, but the little maids behind him couldn't help but feel happy.

Yun Xiaoyi, the owner of Yunjiazhuang, has two sons and three daughters.The eldest son Yun Zheng, the second son Yun Feng, the eldest daughter Yun Yang, and the second daughter Yun Jin are all from the first wife Jiang Xinlan.

And this third young lady, Yun Lin, who just returned to the village, was born in a concubine's room.

It is said that due to insufficient birth in the mother's womb, she was congenitally weak and almost died. Later, by chance, she was taken to Linwu Mountain by Master Qingyang, who is proficient in medical skills, to practice and grow up safely to 17 years old.

Two months ago, Yun Xiaoyi sent Zhao's mother and Xiaoye to bring some of their maidservants to fetch Yunlin back.

Yunlin's biological mother, Aunt Han, was very much loved by Yun Xiaoyi during her lifetime. Yun Xiaoyi loved Wu and Wu, and was very fond of this daughter whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years.Not only did he send his personal guards to protect him all the way, but the servants who were sent to Qingping to serve him were all carefully selected.

Even so, the servants all knew in their hearts that no matter how favored the third lady was, she was just a helpless concubine, earning a living in the Yun Family Manor, after all, it still depended on Jiang Xinlan's face.

A few little girls were accused of living in Qingping, and they were already a little uneasy.When Lin Wushan saw Yunlin, he felt even colder.

Mothers who have heard of Aunt Han said that Aunt Han was a famous beauty in Gusu city back then.

Yun Lin inherited his mother's beauty, and his appearance was beyond words, but he didn't see the slightest thing about the style.With a cold face, he rarely uttered a few words all day long, no matter how you look at it, he is not a pleasing temperament.

The girls couldn't help worrying about their own future, and this time they heard that Yun Xiaoyi had transplanted the plum trees from the Qimei Garden to Qingpingju, and they were comforted a little.

You must know that the master loves plums like his life, and he bought the best plum trees in Qimei Garden at a high price, and then planted and cultivated them himself.

The second son, Yunfeng, once went to the garden with some young ladies, and broke off two branches on a whim to give away, and was scolded bloody by Yun Xiaoyi.

Now Yun Xiaoyi has actually dug out the whole plant and moved it to Qingpingju, which shows that this third young lady has an extraordinary status in the master's heart.

Xiaoye asked curiously: "It's freezing cold at this time, can the flowers and trees survive transplanting?"

Yao Qingmu said with a smile: "The master spent a lot of money to hire the best gardener in the city, and built a two-story warm shed in Qingpingju. The inner shed was lit, and a circle of trenches was dug in the outer shed. Baked with silver charcoal day and night, the roots of the tree are warm, and then it is not difficult to survive if someone takes special care of it.”

Xiaoye only clicked her tongue when she heard this: "How much money will it cost to change the plum blossom?"

Yao Qingmu said with a smile: "The master loves Miss San, no matter how much money he spends, he will be willing to do so."

Zhao's mother smiled and said, "This old slave has been in the village for so many years, and it's the first time that Miss San loves me so much. Even the young lady didn't see the master hurt like this back then."

As soon as he raised his head, he exclaimed: "Isn't that the master, it's snowing so much, the master has come to pick up the young lady in person regardless of the wind and cold."

Mu Dianke followed his gaze, and saw a tall man coming towards him against the wind and snow. He was about fifty years old, with a white face and long beard. Righteous.

The martial arts practitioner walked quickly, and arrived in front of him in a blink of an eye.All the servants and maids bowed down to salute.

Mu Dian could pretend to worship.

She is the master, and Yun Xiaoyi is the servant. Even though it was just a show, Yun Xiaoyi dared not let her worship him. He quickly reached out to help, but Mu Dian avoided him without a trace.

A little embarrassed said: "It's good to come back, my family doesn't need to be too polite."

Concerned and asked again: "How was the journey?"

Mu Dianke lowered his eyebrows and put on a submissive look, and said, "Thank you father for your concern, my daughter is fine."

Yun Xiaoyi nodded and said with a smile, "Okay. That's good. You're not healthy, you're tired all the way, and you caught up with the wind and snow. Your mother and I are worried."

Mu Dianke said: "Parents are worried."

While talking, Jiang Xinlan had already brought Yun Zheng and Yun Feng forward, surrounded by a group of maids and servants, with a loving smile: "What a beautiful person. No wonder the master is looking forward to it day and night. I heard yesterday that It’s coming today, and I can’t even sleep well. I’m looking forward to you.”

Jiang Xinlan is over 40 years old. Due to proper maintenance, she looks only about [-] years old. She has beautiful features and graceful demeanor. It can be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young.

Mu Dianke was about to salute, but was stopped by Jiang Xinlan, who took her hand and said with a smile: "My family doesn't have so much courtesy. This time, when I come back, I will stay here with peace of mind. If you need anything, just tell your mother. "Turning back to the two young masters behind him, he said: "Zheng'er, Feng'er, come and meet your third sister."

The eldest son Yunzheng is 22 years old this year, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a decent appearance, which is five or six points similar to Yun Xiaoyi.

The second son, Yunfeng, resembles Jiang Xinlan, with a softer outline and a more graceful demeanor, just like a handsome young master.

Hearing their mother's words, the two saluted together: "Hello, third sister."

Mu Dianke also saluted: "Hello, big brother and second brother."

Jiang Xinlan smiled and said: "Your elder sister is not in good health these days, your second elder sister has gone to Liu's house to accompany her, I will ask your second elder brother to pick her up in a while, and we can see each other at night. Your father will set up a house for you tonight Banquet, what do you like to eat, just tell me. I will send someone to prepare it in advance."

Mu Dianke said: "Mother is worrying."

Jiang Xinlan smiled and said: "This silly girl, what are you talking about. You are about the same age as Jin'er, and I will treat you as my own daughter. You have suffered so much outside these years, let alone your father , even my mother feels distressed when she sees it."

As he spoke, there was another meal of booing and asking for warmth.When talking about Yunlin's deceased mother, his eyes were red: "Look at this lovely appearance, born with such a hard life, you will treat me as your mother from now on. For anyone who has good luck, mother is absolutely indispensable. you."

Yun Xiaoyi said: "Tell me what to do. The child has had a hard time on the road, let her go back and rest first."

Jiang Xinlan wiped her tears and said: "I saw this child too, and I was so happy. I actually forgot about it. I have already asked someone to burn down the Nuan Pavilion at the other side of the Qingping residence. Zhao Ma quickly took the third lady there. But you must take good care of yourself."

Mother Zhao said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, this old slave dare not be careless."

Yun Xiaoyi said: "After resting, I will go to Dad's study. I haven't seen you for so many years, and Dad also has a lot of things to tell you."

Mu Dianke replied: "Yes." Xiang Yun Xiaoyi and Jiang Xinlan bid farewell, and followed Mother Zhao all the way to Qingping.

Yao Qingmu was called away by Yun Xiaoyi, and Jiang Xinlan returned to the Range Rover Courtyard with her maid and servant.

Yunfeng watched Jiang Xinlan go away, and said in disbelief, "Mother, what's the matter? I heard that Aunt Han often tripped her when she was alive, and she still hates her when she mentions it. I thought When the three younger sisters entered the door, she lost her temper without talking, but who would have thought that she would look happier than Dad."

Yun Zheng said indifferently: "It's all the grievances of the previous generation. The third sister was sent to Lin Wushan since she was a child, and she doesn't even know what Aunt Han looks like. No matter how angry Mother is, she won't blame her. "

Knowing his mother's temper, Yunfeng shook his head with an expression of disbelief.After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you think our third sister is weird? She doesn't seem to get along well."

Mu Dian could come to Gusu under the guise of Yunlin's identity. Except for Yun Xiaoyi, only Yun Zheng knew about the whole Yunjiazhuang.

The matter is so important, Yun Zheng didn't dare to be careless, pretended to think about it, and said: "There is a point. But she left home since she was a child, and it is reasonable for her not to be close to us. Besides, her master is a Taoist. People pay attention to the calmness of the mind, and it is not surprising that the temper is light. It will be fine after a long time."

Yunfeng said: "That's true. Speaking of which, although our third sister has a bit of a weird temper, her appearance is top-notch, even compared to Yu Haitang in Huayuan Pavilion."

Yun Zheng said: "What are you talking about? Although the third sister is a concubine, she is also a serious boudoir lady. How can there be any reason to compare my younger sister with a brothel woman? Let Dad know, I have to reprimand you .”

Yunfeng waved his hand and said: "Okay, I won't talk anymore, don't talk nonsense in front of Dad. My butt still hurts even now after I was given a board."

"You don't deserve it yourself."

The two brothers walked away while talking.

　In fact, this is not a romance essay in the strict sense (because there is no choice), nor is it a house fight essay (required in the early stage of the plot), I want to write something from the world (cover my face).As far as the present is concerned, the heroine is not very lively and kind, she is a bit black-bellied, a bit hot...Three views are being corrected...
