Reborn eldest daughter
Chapter 58 4 rumors
Both Zhao Keren and Zhao Ying were fined and grounded, and the Grand Master's Mansion seemed to be much quieter.Zhao Keran lives his own life contentedly, but is life really peaceful?Under the calm appearance, how many turbulent waves are hidden?No one knows this.
Since that incident of falling into the water, a rumor has spread quietly under this tranquility.
When Lin Xiran rescued Zhao Keren that day, no one saw it, but when he eagerly took Zhao Keren back to Xia Yuyuan, too many people saw it.Therefore, there have been rumors about Lin Xiran and Zhao Keren these days.In the Grand Master's Mansion, everyone was talking about it.
"Hey, do you know? I heard that the day Second Miss fell into the water, it was Zhongyi Hou Lin Shizi who carried Second Miss back to Xia Yuyuan."
"I heard that Lin Shizi and Second Miss are very close!"
"Isn't Shizi Lin married to the eldest lady? How could he be so close to the second lady?"
"Oh, I heard that, in fact, it turns out that the second young lady and Lin Shizi are a couple, and we were all mistaken before."
"Wow, but let's not mention it, the second lady is so beautiful, talented and knowledgeable, Lin Shizi is handsome, well-educated, and has a prominent family background. The two of them really are a match made in heaven!"
In the Grand Master's Mansion, various rumors arose, all about Lin Xiran, Zhao Keren, and Zhao Keran.Everyone is discussing who is Lin Shizi's fiancée.However, everyone seems to have ignored these rumors. However, under the dissemination of people with good intentions, these rumors not only showed no signs of containment, but intensified.Even, these rumors have spread in the capital.Everyone said that Lin Shizi of Zhongyi Hou's mansion was engaged to the second lady of Taishi's mansion, Zhao Keren, one of the "Four Beauties" in the capital.
Zhao Keren is the happiest person for the intensifying rumors. Everything seems to be going according to her plan.
At this time, she was in Xia Yuyuan. Although her feet were grounded, because she fell into the water before, Zhao Keren also had to rest in bed, so she didn't feel dissatisfied.
In the afternoon, Xianyun walked in with a bowl.
"Miss, it's time to drink the medicine." Xianyun softly called Zhao Keren.
Seeing Xianyun enter the door, Zhao Keren also sat up, took the medicine in Xianyun's hand, and drank it slowly.After drinking the medicine, Xianyun took the medicine bowl and was about to leave, but Zhao Keren stopped him.
"Xianyun, come back, I have something to ask you."
After hearing Zhao Keren's order, Xianyun put the medicine bowl on the table, then returned to the bedside, quietly waiting for Zhao Keren's order.
"Xianyun, let me ask you, how are things going now?" Zhao Keren asked eagerly, because she couldn't leave Xia Yuyuan now, so she didn't know how the rumors spread outside, was it like her? What about the expected look?It was already unsuccessful to frame Zhao Ying before, if it is not successful this time, then it will be a waste of effort this time, and the opportunity that I risked my life for is also wasted.What's more, this incident is related to her future. If this opportunity is missed, it may be difficult for her to find another opportunity.
"Second Miss, don't worry." Seeing Zhao Keren's anxious appearance, Xianyun quickly reported the outside affairs to her, "Now everyone thinks that Lin Shizi and you are already engaged, and they also say that you are a match made in heaven. Yes, not only that, the rumors that were originally circulated in the Grand Master's Mansion mentioned the eldest lady, but when it spread outside, no one mentioned the eldest lady!"
"That's good." Zhao Keren breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that things were going smoothly, "By the way, you can go to Ling'er and ask her to find out Zhao Keran's current reaction."
"Okay, miss." Xianyun took the order.
"Okay, you can go, don't forget my order," Zhao Keren waved his hand, letting Xianyun go down first.
Soon, only Zhao Keren was left in the room.Zhao Keren, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly smiled triumphantly.She seemed to have seen how things were going to work out.Zhao Keran, although you were born earlier than me and got such a good marriage, I, Zhao Keren, will never lose to you, don't think you can beat me.It is impossible in this life. 13acv.
But in the Chunhui Garden on the other side, it was as calm as ever, without any waves.Especially Zhao Keran, who is one of the protagonists of the rumors, is very calm and stays at home every day, and does not comment on the rumors outside.
In summer, every day is extremely hot, and it is rare to have heavy rain.And this time is when it rains, probably because of the moisture of the rain!The current temperature is not particularly high, and there is a gust of wind blowing from time to time, bringing moisture with rain, making it very comfortable.And at such a comfortable time, Zhao Keran was lying on the pear wood reclining chair in the room, concentrating on reading the book, while Aunt Yue was waiting on her side, everything seemed so comfortable and peaceful.However, a burst of hurried footsteps spoiled all this.
With the sound of footsteps, the door was suddenly opened.Long'er rushed in hastily.
"Miss, miss, something serious happened." Long'er hurriedly came to Zhao Keran and said out of breath.
Before Zhao Keran could speak, Aunt Yue frowned and scolded, "What are you doing? You're so big or small, you don't even know the rules!"
"Oh, Aunt Yue, I didn't do it on purpose, I was in such a hurry because something serious happened." Long'er hurriedly explained.
Seeing Long'er anxious, Zhao Keran felt it was funny, "What happened? Seeing that you are in such a hurry, people who don't know think you are rushing to reincarnate!"
"Miss, you still have the mind to joke!" Long'er was extremely anxious, "Do you know what happened? If you knew, you would definitely not be able to be so calm."
"Oh!" Zhao Keran smiled slightly, "Then tell me what happened right now!"
"Miss, you don't know, people outside are spreading rumors about Second Miss and Lin Shizi. They all say that Lin Shizi and Second Miss are engaged, and that they are a couple made in heaven." Long'er Cracklingly told Zhao Keran all the rumors just heard outside.
"What? Lin Shizi and Second Miss?" Now.Even Aunt Yue was not calm anymore, "How could such a thing happen?"
"I don't know either." Long'er replied, "I don't know why, it seems that it happened all of a sudden, the rumors spread all over the sky, and now I don't even know who spread the rumors."
Hearing Long'er's words, Zhao Keran frowned, what happened?Because Zhao Keren was grounded recently, she also relaxed a lot, but unexpectedly, something happened again not long after.
"Long'er, let me ask you, do you know how this rumor came about?" Zhao Keran asked.
After thinking for a while, Long'er replied, "I heard that it seems to have spread from the mansion. It should be because everyone saw it when Lin Shizi rescued the second lady and sent the second lady back to Xia Yuyuan. , so there was a lot of discussion.”
Is it the thing that fell into the water before?After Zhao Keran had filtered all the things in his mind, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Could it be that these rumors were spread by Zhao Keren.It seems that Zhao Keren had already planned to do this when he fell into the water before.Back then, I was wondering why Zhao Keren chose himself and Lin Xiran as witnesses?It seems that besides framing Zhao Ying, she has another purpose.
Now that there are so many rumors outside, it seems that there is no way to continue the marriage between himself and the Zhongyi Houfu.But that's fine, anyway, I'm still trying to find a way to dissolve my marriage with the Zhongyihou Mansion, so I might as well take advantage of this incident!
Thinking of this, Zhao Keran couldn't help but make up his mind that he must take advantage of this time to break up the engagement.However, I really didn't expect that Zhao Keren would use such a method in order to break off the engagement with Lin Xiran.In her previous life, she had damaged her own reputation and killed herself to get a marriage contract, but she never expected that she would use such a method in this life.If this method is unsuccessful, then she will be the one who suffers!It seems that the last time her parents found a marriage for her stimulated her to make such a decision.
However, I have to say, she is really adventurous!You must know that if this matter is not successful, no one will dare to marry Zhao Keren in this life. Is she really not afraid?
You can reconcile with your teacher.Seeing Zhao Keran's silence, Aunt Yue thought she was sad!Miss is really pitiful!Although they are twins with Second Miss, they are treated completely differently.Both the master and the madam looked at the second lady more.Now that something like this has happened, what should the eldest lady do!
Thinking of this, Aunt Yue couldn't help but comfort her, "Miss, don't worry, there won't be any surprises, it's just rumors, and it will definitely not affect your marriage with Shizi Lin."
Seeing Aunt Yue comforting herself, Zhao Keran couldn't help but smile bitterly, as she wasn't sad at all.A man like Lin Xiran wouldn't even want to give it to himself, what's so good about it.However, of course Zhao Keran couldn't just say that,
"Yuegu, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Zhao Keran smiled slightly and replied softly.
Seeing Zhao Keran forced a smile (it was completely imagined by Yue Gu), Yue Gu felt even more sad, but she dared not show it in front of Zhao Keran, because it would make Zhao Keran even more sad.Therefore, Yuegu hurriedly left the room under the pretext of going to help Zhao Keran prepare pastries.
Seeing Aunt Yue feel sorry for herself, Zhao Keran felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't tell Aunt Yue what was in her heart.
Long'er, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, seemed to have found some clues, and she asked very suspiciously, "Miss, why do I feel that you don't seem very sad?"
Zhao Keran didn't expect Long'er to be so sensitive, so he quickly said, "Is it useful to be sad? Besides, it's just some rumors now, so what's the matter, should I be sad because of these non-existent rumors?"
Long'er tilted her head and thought for a while, and felt that what Zhao Keran said seemed to be good, nothing happened at all now, why waste her energy to be sad?
"By the way, Longer, I want you to pay attention to Linger's recent behavior. Have you noticed anything?"
Zhao Keran quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, if you don't ask Miss, I almost forgot about it!" Long'er quickly replied, "Miss, I don't know what happened recently, Ling'er has become so generous! She not only sent home 100 taels of silver, and she bought a lot of new clothes and jewelry!"
"Oh, really?"
Hearing Long'er's answer, Zhao Keran narrowed her eyes, it seems that Ling'er is really bold, she has really sold her Peony Walk.I don't know how Kefeng is doing now.We must find a way to get Peony Buyao back as soon as possible.
------Dividing line------
As night fell, everything was silent. It is reasonable to say that everyone should rest at this time, but because of the rumors outside, it is difficult for many people to sleep at such a night, including Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe.
At this moment in the Qinghe Pavilion, although it was late at night, Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe still did not rest. They were sitting on the bed, both of them looked sad.
"Master, tell me, what should I do about this time?" Qin Xianghe heard the rumors outside, but she didn't know what to do. Both of them are her daughters, and the palms and backs of their hands are all tight. It was meat, and she really didn't know what to do with it.
Zhao Song also knew about the rumors outside. Today, some colleagues came to him and asked him when his second daughter was engaged to the Marquis of Zhongyi. Why was there no news at all? At that time, he didn't know how to answer That's good.Could it be that he wants to tell everyone that the engagement with the Zhongyi Hou Mansion is true, but the engagement is not his second daughter, but his eldest daughter?She can't afford to lose such a face.
"Oh," Zhao Song sighed, "This matter is difficult!"
"Master, this matter must be handled properly!" Qin Xianghe said, "If it is not handled well, then our two daughters will be ruined!"
"I also know this, but I have to say that this matter is really difficult to solve." Zhao Song was also very helpless, "The marriage between Lin Shizi and Ke Ran was a marriage of the flesh, but now there is such a trouble. Things, and dragged Keren into the water."
"Well, it's good intentions for Lin Shizi to be a person, and we can't blame him. Besides, if it weren't for Lin Shizi, Keren would have drowned a long time ago." Qin Xianghe was also very helpless, "But , So many people have seen Lin Shizi holding Ke Ren, and so many rumors have spread, what should we do now?"
"It seems that this matter is not easy to solve." Zhao Song sighed, "Rumours are spreading all over the sky now. If we don't find a way to solve it as soon as possible, then the future of the lovely people will be worrying!"
Zhao Song was also very annoyed in his heart, but Keren was cultivated by him, not only beautiful and generous, but also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is definitely one of the best ladies in the capital, and he must not be ruined like that.But what can be done?
Qin Xianghe couldn't help complaining, "If Zhao Ying hadn't pushed Keren into the water, then this incident would never have happened. I said at the beginning, it must be Zhao Ying, a scumbag, who deliberately pushed Keren into the water. Maybe she was the one who stabbed this time."
Qin Xianghe's teeth itch when she thinks of Zhao Ying now. If Zhao Ying hadn't pushed Keren into the water, all this would not have happened now. It was all the fault of that little Jianren, and her Like his mother, he would only fight against her.No matter what, she would never let the mother and daughter go.Qin Xianghe secretly made up her mind.
Hearing Qin Xianghe's complaints, Zhao Song said impatiently, "I didn't know who was right and who was wrong at all, what are you still complaining about? Did you see Yinger push Keren into the water? ? If you haven’t seen it, then don’t complain here. If you really have that much time, it’s better to think about how to solve this matter.”
In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhao Song still has complaints about Zhao Ying in his heart. He actually thinks that if it weren't for Zhao Ying, things would not have changed so badly, but he will never regret his original decision.In the end, he is a self-willed person, that's why he resents Qin Xianghe's mention of the previous incident so much.
Hearing Zhao Song's scolding, although Qin Xianghe was very unwilling, she didn't get entangled in that matter anymore. After all, Zhao Song was her husband, and she would not fall out with Zhao Song over such a matter.In addition, the most important thing now is the lovely thing, and everything else can be delayed for a while.
"Master, tell me, how about we let Keren betroth Lin Shizi?" Qin Xianghe suddenly suggested, "In this way, we can not only preserve Keren's reputation, but also find such a good marriage for Keren." , kill two birds with one stone."
"You're crazy." Zhao Song looked at Qin Xianghe incredulously, "Shizi Lin is Keran's fiancé! If you want Keren to be engaged to Shizi Lin, what will you do?"
Zhao Song couldn't believe it, how could Qin Xianghe come up with such a bad idea, asking her daughter to be engaged to her future brother-in-law, thanks to her thinking of it.
However, the more Qin Xianghe thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was feasible, "Master, don't rush to object, just listen to me!"
Zhao Song frowned and looked at Qin Xianghe to see what she could come up with.
Qin Xianghe analyzed, "Master, think about it! Although Keran and Lin Shizi were married by the belly, who else knows about this matter other than our two families? Moreover, although they were married by the belly , but to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a verbal promise between the two families, and there is no ceremony held, and there is no matchmaking! So far, it is only the order of the parents, and there is no matchmaker's words?"
You know, the wedding ceremony is very cumbersome. It is divided into seven steps: matchmaking, exchange of invitations, appointment, gift giving, wedding, worship and bridal chamber.
[-]. It is said that "there is no cloud in the sky without rain, and there is no marriage without a matchmaker on the ground".In a traditional marriage, a man and a woman must go through a matchmaker to tie the knot.A matchmaker can take the initiative to solicit work and bridge the gap between a man and a woman, or it can be entrusted by others to be an adult beauty.There is another saying that is "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", which is the truth.
[-]. Exchanging Geng posts, that is, criticizing the horoscope and pushing the zodiac. The ancients were very particular about marriage. If the man wants to marry a daughter-in-law, he first obtains the woman's horoscope from the woman's family, and then gives it to the fortune-teller to calculate whether it is compatible with the son, commonly known as "Jia Wu". folder".If the female order Kefu or the horoscope conflicts with the son, the two families will not be able to form an marriage relationship.It is also possible to place the post with the horoscope of the woman's birthday on the case of the gods and ancestors of the man's family, Buji.Within three days, if the family is safe and sound, the man and woman can become in-laws.
[-]. Fixed appointment, that is, exchange of appointment letters.Letters of appointment are generally prepared by the husband's family.All gift money has been listed into the gift list before the appointment.The man's family only pays a small half of the gift money, commonly known as the first half of the gift.A gold ring can also be used as a betrothal gift when the appointment is made.On the day of appointment, both the male and female families hold a banquet for their relatives and friends. The participants only join in the fun and do not give gifts.
[-]. Gift giving is about twenty days or one or two months before the wedding. The most important thing about gift giving is gift money.Since the first half of the ceremony has been taken when the appointment is made, it is commonly known as the second half of the ceremony when all the gifts are paid.Other gifts are listed in the gift list and included in the gift book.There must be cloth, satin, gauze and the like on the gift list. These cloths are used to make clothes for the newlyweds.The woman's family also wants to return some gifts, and the gift book will be handed over to the sender to bring back.After giving the gift, the wedding date is not too far away.
[-]. On the wedding day, the man's family fires cannons and plays music, and sends out sedan chairs to welcome the bride.The matchmaker takes the lead, followed by the groom, bridesmaids, bridal sedan chairs, bands, and box teams.As soon as the bridal sedan chair arrives, the women's family plays music and fires cannons to welcome them.After the welcoming team entered the main room of the bride's family, the sedan chair landed, and the groom kowtowed to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.And under the guidance of the matchmaker, after bowing to the bride's ancestral tablet and elders, the bridesmaid will take the bride to the sedan chair.When getting on the sedan chair, the bride generally has to "cry for marriage" to express her attachment to her parents.The way back to get married must go another way, which is also called not turning back.
[-]. On the wedding day, the bride and groom hold a worship ceremony.The two bridesmaids appeared as "Yin Zan" and "Tong Zan" respectively.The consciousness procedure of worshiping the hall is as follows: Yinzan: The groom stands in front of the sedan chair.Tong Zan: Open the sedan chair, the newcomer starts.Citing praise: The groom bows (hands over to invite the bride) Citing praise: The bride and groom go straight to the front of the flower hall.Cited praise: The bride and groom are in place.Tongzan: The bride and groom offer incense.Cited praise: Kneel, offer incense.Tongzan: Kneel, kowtow, kowtow again, kowtow three times, bow three times: first bow to heaven and earth, second to the high hall, husband and wife to worship each other, and finally enter the bridal chamber.
[-]. Noise in the bridal chamber The main reason for the trouble in the bridal chamber is that marriages in ancient times were arranged by parents, and the man and the woman had no contact before marriage, and some had never even met face to face, let alone understanding and familiarity.It must be very strange to become husband and wife all of a sudden. With such a bridal chamber process, the indifferent atmosphere can be changed, the couple can reduce the jerky feeling as much as possible, and the young couple can enter the state of intimacy as soon as possible.
Only when all the above steps are completed can a man and a woman become a real couple.As for the relationship between Zhao Keran and Lin Xiran, even though they were married by their stomachs, they did not even do the three things that need to be done before marriage: matchmaking, exchanging invitations, and hiring. It's just not right.
Hearing Qin Xianghe's words, Zhao Song's attitude seemed to relax a bit, and he didn't even frown so tightly.
"Is this really okay?" Zhao Song asked.
Seeing that Zhao Song's attitude had softened, Qin Xianghe hurriedly continued to persuade, "Actually, everyone doesn't know that Ke Ran is engaged to Lin Shizi now, do they? Even if the engagement is dissolved, the outsiders No one will know! This will not damage Keran's reputation. In the future, if you become the Marquis of Zhenbei, you will find a better marriage for Keran. Is it? If this matter can’t be resolved, then the reputation of Keren will be ruined, what should we do in the future!”
Zhao Song still hesitated, "Isn't it too cruel to do this to Keran? Will she agree?"
"Master, but it's also my daughter, how can I be willing to hurt her?" Qin Xianghe was also very helpless, "But this time, this matter can only be resolved in this way. In addition, look, Ke Ran If you love your sister so much, you will definitely agree."
Zhao Song still couldn't decide.
Seeing Zhao Song's appearance, Qin Xianghe continued, "Look, Ke Ran is timid and cowardly by nature. Even if she really marries Lin Shizi, it's still uncertain whether she will be favored or not. But Keren is different, you I know, but Ren is not only beautiful, but also intelligent by nature, if she marries Lin Shizi, she will be able to sit firmly in the position of Mrs. Zhongyihou in the future, so it will be good for your future development, sir!"
"Oh," Zhao Song sighed, "It seems that's the only way to do it."
It has to be said that Qin Xianghe really knows Zhao Song very well, and he knows where Zhao Song's weakness is.What Zhao Song cares most about is his future.
Hearing that Zhao Song agreed, Qin Xianghe finally breathed a sigh of relief.In fact, he knew very well in his heart that what happened this time would do great harm to Keran, but she had no choice but to keep Keren.For her two daughters, she is indeed partial to Keren.So this time, I can only feel sorry for Keran.However, Ke Ran is also her daughter. In the future, she will definitely find another good marriage for Ke Ran.
"Then I will go back to my home tomorrow and discuss it with my father." Zhao Song said, "You can find time to have a good chat with Keran tomorrow, and explain to her!"
"Okay, I will, don't worry!"
After solving this matter, the two finally got in the mood to sleep.
Just after Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe fell asleep, they didn't notice that a white figure leaped down from their roof and disappeared into the night.
After about a cup of tea, the white figure came to Chunhui Garden, pried open the window familiarly, and jumped in.However, unlike last time, Zhao Keren had already fallen asleep and did not see the white figure coming.
As usual, Situ Xu came to Zhao Keran's bed, quietly looked at Zhao Keran's sleeping face, unconsciously, there was a trace of pity in his eyes.
In fact, not long after getting to know Zhao Keran, Situ Xu sent someone to find out everything about Zhao Keran.Therefore, he knew that the rumors outside were all false.Zhao Keren is not Lin Xiran's fiancée, she is.However, this also made him very unhappy, as if there was an unknown fire burning in his heart, and he felt inexplicable anger.It was from then on that he knew that he fell in love with this woman.No, not only liking her, but even falling in love with her.Perhaps since listening to her piano sound, he has already started to have a good impression of her!Especially after the last time he had a face-to-face chat with her, he was even more sure that this woman was the one he had been looking for, who could accompany him for the rest of his life.
Situ Xu is definitely the kind of person who can do whatever he wants.After understanding his own mind, he will never back down, even if she already has a fiance, he will never give up.Moreover, he has checked that her fiancé, Lin Xiran, is not a good person at all. Although he has a marriage contract with her, he has been dealing with her younger sister in private.Such a man is not worthy of such a calm and detached woman like her.
So, he decided that he must find a way to break her engagement.Situ Xu didn't think it was a despicable thing at all.After all, her fiancé is not a good person.However, before he made a move, rumors were already flying everywhere.
After hearing these rumors, he was afraid that she would be sad, so he came here specially to see her this evening, and if she was unhappy, he would comfort her by the way.Of course, you can also increase the feelings between them, that would be even better.
However, I didn't expect that before I came to her place, I accidentally heard her name when passing by her parents' bedroom, so I wanted to eavesdrop and learn more about her by the way.But, unexpectedly, the more he listened, the more he felt that her parents were really rotten, yes, they were rotten.
He didn't want to comment on her parents like this, but her parents' behavior was really too much.It can be heard from their words that they only have Zhao Keren in their hearts, and even for Zhao Keren, they can sacrifice their other daughter.
No wonder her piano sound is so sad, no wonder she is so defensive.It turned out that in this family, her life was not as good as it seemed.The younger sister hooked up with her fiancé, and the parents blindly favored the younger sister, even sacrificing her to keep her younger sister.What kind of parents are these!
This made him feel very angry. Her parents never thought about it from her perspective. You know, in this era, it is such a big deal for a woman to have a marriage contract with her fiancé who is married to her fingertips. hit.They will only favor that Zhao Keren.If there is anything good about that woman, she will put on airs and secretly hook up with her future brother-in-law.
At this time, Situ Xu never thought that even if Zhao Keran did not terminate the engagement this time, he would find a way.Now, all he has in his heart is pity for Zhao Keren.
Looking at Zhao Keran's peaceful sleeping face, Situ Xu swore in his heart that he would treat Zhao Keran well.He will spend his life to prove it.
Zhao Keran didn't know that while she was sleeping, a man secretly made up his mind and promised her his whole life.This is also destined to lead a completely different life from her previous life.
I don't know when it started, but the wheel of fate has deviated from the track of the previous life. Perhaps this is also the meaning of God's decision to give Zhao Keran another rebirth!
Author Xiaoyu: Fans, there is one more chapter, fans will upload it in the evening, everyone must continue to support it!
Since that incident of falling into the water, a rumor has spread quietly under this tranquility.
When Lin Xiran rescued Zhao Keren that day, no one saw it, but when he eagerly took Zhao Keren back to Xia Yuyuan, too many people saw it.Therefore, there have been rumors about Lin Xiran and Zhao Keren these days.In the Grand Master's Mansion, everyone was talking about it.
"Hey, do you know? I heard that the day Second Miss fell into the water, it was Zhongyi Hou Lin Shizi who carried Second Miss back to Xia Yuyuan."
"I heard that Lin Shizi and Second Miss are very close!"
"Isn't Shizi Lin married to the eldest lady? How could he be so close to the second lady?"
"Oh, I heard that, in fact, it turns out that the second young lady and Lin Shizi are a couple, and we were all mistaken before."
"Wow, but let's not mention it, the second lady is so beautiful, talented and knowledgeable, Lin Shizi is handsome, well-educated, and has a prominent family background. The two of them really are a match made in heaven!"
In the Grand Master's Mansion, various rumors arose, all about Lin Xiran, Zhao Keren, and Zhao Keran.Everyone is discussing who is Lin Shizi's fiancée.However, everyone seems to have ignored these rumors. However, under the dissemination of people with good intentions, these rumors not only showed no signs of containment, but intensified.Even, these rumors have spread in the capital.Everyone said that Lin Shizi of Zhongyi Hou's mansion was engaged to the second lady of Taishi's mansion, Zhao Keren, one of the "Four Beauties" in the capital.
Zhao Keren is the happiest person for the intensifying rumors. Everything seems to be going according to her plan.
At this time, she was in Xia Yuyuan. Although her feet were grounded, because she fell into the water before, Zhao Keren also had to rest in bed, so she didn't feel dissatisfied.
In the afternoon, Xianyun walked in with a bowl.
"Miss, it's time to drink the medicine." Xianyun softly called Zhao Keren.
Seeing Xianyun enter the door, Zhao Keren also sat up, took the medicine in Xianyun's hand, and drank it slowly.After drinking the medicine, Xianyun took the medicine bowl and was about to leave, but Zhao Keren stopped him.
"Xianyun, come back, I have something to ask you."
After hearing Zhao Keren's order, Xianyun put the medicine bowl on the table, then returned to the bedside, quietly waiting for Zhao Keren's order.
"Xianyun, let me ask you, how are things going now?" Zhao Keren asked eagerly, because she couldn't leave Xia Yuyuan now, so she didn't know how the rumors spread outside, was it like her? What about the expected look?It was already unsuccessful to frame Zhao Ying before, if it is not successful this time, then it will be a waste of effort this time, and the opportunity that I risked my life for is also wasted.What's more, this incident is related to her future. If this opportunity is missed, it may be difficult for her to find another opportunity.
"Second Miss, don't worry." Seeing Zhao Keren's anxious appearance, Xianyun quickly reported the outside affairs to her, "Now everyone thinks that Lin Shizi and you are already engaged, and they also say that you are a match made in heaven. Yes, not only that, the rumors that were originally circulated in the Grand Master's Mansion mentioned the eldest lady, but when it spread outside, no one mentioned the eldest lady!"
"That's good." Zhao Keren breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that things were going smoothly, "By the way, you can go to Ling'er and ask her to find out Zhao Keran's current reaction."
"Okay, miss." Xianyun took the order.
"Okay, you can go, don't forget my order," Zhao Keren waved his hand, letting Xianyun go down first.
Soon, only Zhao Keren was left in the room.Zhao Keren, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly smiled triumphantly.She seemed to have seen how things were going to work out.Zhao Keran, although you were born earlier than me and got such a good marriage, I, Zhao Keren, will never lose to you, don't think you can beat me.It is impossible in this life. 13acv.
But in the Chunhui Garden on the other side, it was as calm as ever, without any waves.Especially Zhao Keran, who is one of the protagonists of the rumors, is very calm and stays at home every day, and does not comment on the rumors outside.
In summer, every day is extremely hot, and it is rare to have heavy rain.And this time is when it rains, probably because of the moisture of the rain!The current temperature is not particularly high, and there is a gust of wind blowing from time to time, bringing moisture with rain, making it very comfortable.And at such a comfortable time, Zhao Keran was lying on the pear wood reclining chair in the room, concentrating on reading the book, while Aunt Yue was waiting on her side, everything seemed so comfortable and peaceful.However, a burst of hurried footsteps spoiled all this.
With the sound of footsteps, the door was suddenly opened.Long'er rushed in hastily.
"Miss, miss, something serious happened." Long'er hurriedly came to Zhao Keran and said out of breath.
Before Zhao Keran could speak, Aunt Yue frowned and scolded, "What are you doing? You're so big or small, you don't even know the rules!"
"Oh, Aunt Yue, I didn't do it on purpose, I was in such a hurry because something serious happened." Long'er hurriedly explained.
Seeing Long'er anxious, Zhao Keran felt it was funny, "What happened? Seeing that you are in such a hurry, people who don't know think you are rushing to reincarnate!"
"Miss, you still have the mind to joke!" Long'er was extremely anxious, "Do you know what happened? If you knew, you would definitely not be able to be so calm."
"Oh!" Zhao Keran smiled slightly, "Then tell me what happened right now!"
"Miss, you don't know, people outside are spreading rumors about Second Miss and Lin Shizi. They all say that Lin Shizi and Second Miss are engaged, and that they are a couple made in heaven." Long'er Cracklingly told Zhao Keran all the rumors just heard outside.
"What? Lin Shizi and Second Miss?" Now.Even Aunt Yue was not calm anymore, "How could such a thing happen?"
"I don't know either." Long'er replied, "I don't know why, it seems that it happened all of a sudden, the rumors spread all over the sky, and now I don't even know who spread the rumors."
Hearing Long'er's words, Zhao Keran frowned, what happened?Because Zhao Keren was grounded recently, she also relaxed a lot, but unexpectedly, something happened again not long after.
"Long'er, let me ask you, do you know how this rumor came about?" Zhao Keran asked.
After thinking for a while, Long'er replied, "I heard that it seems to have spread from the mansion. It should be because everyone saw it when Lin Shizi rescued the second lady and sent the second lady back to Xia Yuyuan. , so there was a lot of discussion.”
Is it the thing that fell into the water before?After Zhao Keran had filtered all the things in his mind, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Could it be that these rumors were spread by Zhao Keren.It seems that Zhao Keren had already planned to do this when he fell into the water before.Back then, I was wondering why Zhao Keren chose himself and Lin Xiran as witnesses?It seems that besides framing Zhao Ying, she has another purpose.
Now that there are so many rumors outside, it seems that there is no way to continue the marriage between himself and the Zhongyi Houfu.But that's fine, anyway, I'm still trying to find a way to dissolve my marriage with the Zhongyihou Mansion, so I might as well take advantage of this incident!
Thinking of this, Zhao Keran couldn't help but make up his mind that he must take advantage of this time to break up the engagement.However, I really didn't expect that Zhao Keren would use such a method in order to break off the engagement with Lin Xiran.In her previous life, she had damaged her own reputation and killed herself to get a marriage contract, but she never expected that she would use such a method in this life.If this method is unsuccessful, then she will be the one who suffers!It seems that the last time her parents found a marriage for her stimulated her to make such a decision.
However, I have to say, she is really adventurous!You must know that if this matter is not successful, no one will dare to marry Zhao Keren in this life. Is she really not afraid?
You can reconcile with your teacher.Seeing Zhao Keran's silence, Aunt Yue thought she was sad!Miss is really pitiful!Although they are twins with Second Miss, they are treated completely differently.Both the master and the madam looked at the second lady more.Now that something like this has happened, what should the eldest lady do!
Thinking of this, Aunt Yue couldn't help but comfort her, "Miss, don't worry, there won't be any surprises, it's just rumors, and it will definitely not affect your marriage with Shizi Lin."
Seeing Aunt Yue comforting herself, Zhao Keran couldn't help but smile bitterly, as she wasn't sad at all.A man like Lin Xiran wouldn't even want to give it to himself, what's so good about it.However, of course Zhao Keran couldn't just say that,
"Yuegu, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Zhao Keran smiled slightly and replied softly.
Seeing Zhao Keran forced a smile (it was completely imagined by Yue Gu), Yue Gu felt even more sad, but she dared not show it in front of Zhao Keran, because it would make Zhao Keran even more sad.Therefore, Yuegu hurriedly left the room under the pretext of going to help Zhao Keran prepare pastries.
Seeing Aunt Yue feel sorry for herself, Zhao Keran felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't tell Aunt Yue what was in her heart.
Long'er, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, seemed to have found some clues, and she asked very suspiciously, "Miss, why do I feel that you don't seem very sad?"
Zhao Keran didn't expect Long'er to be so sensitive, so he quickly said, "Is it useful to be sad? Besides, it's just some rumors now, so what's the matter, should I be sad because of these non-existent rumors?"
Long'er tilted her head and thought for a while, and felt that what Zhao Keran said seemed to be good, nothing happened at all now, why waste her energy to be sad?
"By the way, Longer, I want you to pay attention to Linger's recent behavior. Have you noticed anything?"
Zhao Keran quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, if you don't ask Miss, I almost forgot about it!" Long'er quickly replied, "Miss, I don't know what happened recently, Ling'er has become so generous! She not only sent home 100 taels of silver, and she bought a lot of new clothes and jewelry!"
"Oh, really?"
Hearing Long'er's answer, Zhao Keran narrowed her eyes, it seems that Ling'er is really bold, she has really sold her Peony Walk.I don't know how Kefeng is doing now.We must find a way to get Peony Buyao back as soon as possible.
------Dividing line------
As night fell, everything was silent. It is reasonable to say that everyone should rest at this time, but because of the rumors outside, it is difficult for many people to sleep at such a night, including Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe.
At this moment in the Qinghe Pavilion, although it was late at night, Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe still did not rest. They were sitting on the bed, both of them looked sad.
"Master, tell me, what should I do about this time?" Qin Xianghe heard the rumors outside, but she didn't know what to do. Both of them are her daughters, and the palms and backs of their hands are all tight. It was meat, and she really didn't know what to do with it.
Zhao Song also knew about the rumors outside. Today, some colleagues came to him and asked him when his second daughter was engaged to the Marquis of Zhongyi. Why was there no news at all? At that time, he didn't know how to answer That's good.Could it be that he wants to tell everyone that the engagement with the Zhongyi Hou Mansion is true, but the engagement is not his second daughter, but his eldest daughter?She can't afford to lose such a face.
"Oh," Zhao Song sighed, "This matter is difficult!"
"Master, this matter must be handled properly!" Qin Xianghe said, "If it is not handled well, then our two daughters will be ruined!"
"I also know this, but I have to say that this matter is really difficult to solve." Zhao Song was also very helpless, "The marriage between Lin Shizi and Ke Ran was a marriage of the flesh, but now there is such a trouble. Things, and dragged Keren into the water."
"Well, it's good intentions for Lin Shizi to be a person, and we can't blame him. Besides, if it weren't for Lin Shizi, Keren would have drowned a long time ago." Qin Xianghe was also very helpless, "But , So many people have seen Lin Shizi holding Ke Ren, and so many rumors have spread, what should we do now?"
"It seems that this matter is not easy to solve." Zhao Song sighed, "Rumours are spreading all over the sky now. If we don't find a way to solve it as soon as possible, then the future of the lovely people will be worrying!"
Zhao Song was also very annoyed in his heart, but Keren was cultivated by him, not only beautiful and generous, but also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is definitely one of the best ladies in the capital, and he must not be ruined like that.But what can be done?
Qin Xianghe couldn't help complaining, "If Zhao Ying hadn't pushed Keren into the water, then this incident would never have happened. I said at the beginning, it must be Zhao Ying, a scumbag, who deliberately pushed Keren into the water. Maybe she was the one who stabbed this time."
Qin Xianghe's teeth itch when she thinks of Zhao Ying now. If Zhao Ying hadn't pushed Keren into the water, all this would not have happened now. It was all the fault of that little Jianren, and her Like his mother, he would only fight against her.No matter what, she would never let the mother and daughter go.Qin Xianghe secretly made up her mind.
Hearing Qin Xianghe's complaints, Zhao Song said impatiently, "I didn't know who was right and who was wrong at all, what are you still complaining about? Did you see Yinger push Keren into the water? ? If you haven’t seen it, then don’t complain here. If you really have that much time, it’s better to think about how to solve this matter.”
In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhao Song still has complaints about Zhao Ying in his heart. He actually thinks that if it weren't for Zhao Ying, things would not have changed so badly, but he will never regret his original decision.In the end, he is a self-willed person, that's why he resents Qin Xianghe's mention of the previous incident so much.
Hearing Zhao Song's scolding, although Qin Xianghe was very unwilling, she didn't get entangled in that matter anymore. After all, Zhao Song was her husband, and she would not fall out with Zhao Song over such a matter.In addition, the most important thing now is the lovely thing, and everything else can be delayed for a while.
"Master, tell me, how about we let Keren betroth Lin Shizi?" Qin Xianghe suddenly suggested, "In this way, we can not only preserve Keren's reputation, but also find such a good marriage for Keren." , kill two birds with one stone."
"You're crazy." Zhao Song looked at Qin Xianghe incredulously, "Shizi Lin is Keran's fiancé! If you want Keren to be engaged to Shizi Lin, what will you do?"
Zhao Song couldn't believe it, how could Qin Xianghe come up with such a bad idea, asking her daughter to be engaged to her future brother-in-law, thanks to her thinking of it.
However, the more Qin Xianghe thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was feasible, "Master, don't rush to object, just listen to me!"
Zhao Song frowned and looked at Qin Xianghe to see what she could come up with.
Qin Xianghe analyzed, "Master, think about it! Although Keran and Lin Shizi were married by the belly, who else knows about this matter other than our two families? Moreover, although they were married by the belly , but to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a verbal promise between the two families, and there is no ceremony held, and there is no matchmaking! So far, it is only the order of the parents, and there is no matchmaker's words?"
You know, the wedding ceremony is very cumbersome. It is divided into seven steps: matchmaking, exchange of invitations, appointment, gift giving, wedding, worship and bridal chamber.
[-]. It is said that "there is no cloud in the sky without rain, and there is no marriage without a matchmaker on the ground".In a traditional marriage, a man and a woman must go through a matchmaker to tie the knot.A matchmaker can take the initiative to solicit work and bridge the gap between a man and a woman, or it can be entrusted by others to be an adult beauty.There is another saying that is "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", which is the truth.
[-]. Exchanging Geng posts, that is, criticizing the horoscope and pushing the zodiac. The ancients were very particular about marriage. If the man wants to marry a daughter-in-law, he first obtains the woman's horoscope from the woman's family, and then gives it to the fortune-teller to calculate whether it is compatible with the son, commonly known as "Jia Wu". folder".If the female order Kefu or the horoscope conflicts with the son, the two families will not be able to form an marriage relationship.It is also possible to place the post with the horoscope of the woman's birthday on the case of the gods and ancestors of the man's family, Buji.Within three days, if the family is safe and sound, the man and woman can become in-laws.
[-]. Fixed appointment, that is, exchange of appointment letters.Letters of appointment are generally prepared by the husband's family.All gift money has been listed into the gift list before the appointment.The man's family only pays a small half of the gift money, commonly known as the first half of the gift.A gold ring can also be used as a betrothal gift when the appointment is made.On the day of appointment, both the male and female families hold a banquet for their relatives and friends. The participants only join in the fun and do not give gifts.
[-]. Gift giving is about twenty days or one or two months before the wedding. The most important thing about gift giving is gift money.Since the first half of the ceremony has been taken when the appointment is made, it is commonly known as the second half of the ceremony when all the gifts are paid.Other gifts are listed in the gift list and included in the gift book.There must be cloth, satin, gauze and the like on the gift list. These cloths are used to make clothes for the newlyweds.The woman's family also wants to return some gifts, and the gift book will be handed over to the sender to bring back.After giving the gift, the wedding date is not too far away.
[-]. On the wedding day, the man's family fires cannons and plays music, and sends out sedan chairs to welcome the bride.The matchmaker takes the lead, followed by the groom, bridesmaids, bridal sedan chairs, bands, and box teams.As soon as the bridal sedan chair arrives, the women's family plays music and fires cannons to welcome them.After the welcoming team entered the main room of the bride's family, the sedan chair landed, and the groom kowtowed to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.And under the guidance of the matchmaker, after bowing to the bride's ancestral tablet and elders, the bridesmaid will take the bride to the sedan chair.When getting on the sedan chair, the bride generally has to "cry for marriage" to express her attachment to her parents.The way back to get married must go another way, which is also called not turning back.
[-]. On the wedding day, the bride and groom hold a worship ceremony.The two bridesmaids appeared as "Yin Zan" and "Tong Zan" respectively.The consciousness procedure of worshiping the hall is as follows: Yinzan: The groom stands in front of the sedan chair.Tong Zan: Open the sedan chair, the newcomer starts.Citing praise: The groom bows (hands over to invite the bride) Citing praise: The bride and groom go straight to the front of the flower hall.Cited praise: The bride and groom are in place.Tongzan: The bride and groom offer incense.Cited praise: Kneel, offer incense.Tongzan: Kneel, kowtow, kowtow again, kowtow three times, bow three times: first bow to heaven and earth, second to the high hall, husband and wife to worship each other, and finally enter the bridal chamber.
[-]. Noise in the bridal chamber The main reason for the trouble in the bridal chamber is that marriages in ancient times were arranged by parents, and the man and the woman had no contact before marriage, and some had never even met face to face, let alone understanding and familiarity.It must be very strange to become husband and wife all of a sudden. With such a bridal chamber process, the indifferent atmosphere can be changed, the couple can reduce the jerky feeling as much as possible, and the young couple can enter the state of intimacy as soon as possible.
Only when all the above steps are completed can a man and a woman become a real couple.As for the relationship between Zhao Keran and Lin Xiran, even though they were married by their stomachs, they did not even do the three things that need to be done before marriage: matchmaking, exchanging invitations, and hiring. It's just not right.
Hearing Qin Xianghe's words, Zhao Song's attitude seemed to relax a bit, and he didn't even frown so tightly.
"Is this really okay?" Zhao Song asked.
Seeing that Zhao Song's attitude had softened, Qin Xianghe hurriedly continued to persuade, "Actually, everyone doesn't know that Ke Ran is engaged to Lin Shizi now, do they? Even if the engagement is dissolved, the outsiders No one will know! This will not damage Keran's reputation. In the future, if you become the Marquis of Zhenbei, you will find a better marriage for Keran. Is it? If this matter can’t be resolved, then the reputation of Keren will be ruined, what should we do in the future!”
Zhao Song still hesitated, "Isn't it too cruel to do this to Keran? Will she agree?"
"Master, but it's also my daughter, how can I be willing to hurt her?" Qin Xianghe was also very helpless, "But this time, this matter can only be resolved in this way. In addition, look, Ke Ran If you love your sister so much, you will definitely agree."
Zhao Song still couldn't decide.
Seeing Zhao Song's appearance, Qin Xianghe continued, "Look, Ke Ran is timid and cowardly by nature. Even if she really marries Lin Shizi, it's still uncertain whether she will be favored or not. But Keren is different, you I know, but Ren is not only beautiful, but also intelligent by nature, if she marries Lin Shizi, she will be able to sit firmly in the position of Mrs. Zhongyihou in the future, so it will be good for your future development, sir!"
"Oh," Zhao Song sighed, "It seems that's the only way to do it."
It has to be said that Qin Xianghe really knows Zhao Song very well, and he knows where Zhao Song's weakness is.What Zhao Song cares most about is his future.
Hearing that Zhao Song agreed, Qin Xianghe finally breathed a sigh of relief.In fact, he knew very well in his heart that what happened this time would do great harm to Keran, but she had no choice but to keep Keren.For her two daughters, she is indeed partial to Keren.So this time, I can only feel sorry for Keran.However, Ke Ran is also her daughter. In the future, she will definitely find another good marriage for Ke Ran.
"Then I will go back to my home tomorrow and discuss it with my father." Zhao Song said, "You can find time to have a good chat with Keran tomorrow, and explain to her!"
"Okay, I will, don't worry!"
After solving this matter, the two finally got in the mood to sleep.
Just after Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe fell asleep, they didn't notice that a white figure leaped down from their roof and disappeared into the night.
After about a cup of tea, the white figure came to Chunhui Garden, pried open the window familiarly, and jumped in.However, unlike last time, Zhao Keren had already fallen asleep and did not see the white figure coming.
As usual, Situ Xu came to Zhao Keran's bed, quietly looked at Zhao Keran's sleeping face, unconsciously, there was a trace of pity in his eyes.
In fact, not long after getting to know Zhao Keran, Situ Xu sent someone to find out everything about Zhao Keran.Therefore, he knew that the rumors outside were all false.Zhao Keren is not Lin Xiran's fiancée, she is.However, this also made him very unhappy, as if there was an unknown fire burning in his heart, and he felt inexplicable anger.It was from then on that he knew that he fell in love with this woman.No, not only liking her, but even falling in love with her.Perhaps since listening to her piano sound, he has already started to have a good impression of her!Especially after the last time he had a face-to-face chat with her, he was even more sure that this woman was the one he had been looking for, who could accompany him for the rest of his life.
Situ Xu is definitely the kind of person who can do whatever he wants.After understanding his own mind, he will never back down, even if she already has a fiance, he will never give up.Moreover, he has checked that her fiancé, Lin Xiran, is not a good person at all. Although he has a marriage contract with her, he has been dealing with her younger sister in private.Such a man is not worthy of such a calm and detached woman like her.
So, he decided that he must find a way to break her engagement.Situ Xu didn't think it was a despicable thing at all.After all, her fiancé is not a good person.However, before he made a move, rumors were already flying everywhere.
After hearing these rumors, he was afraid that she would be sad, so he came here specially to see her this evening, and if she was unhappy, he would comfort her by the way.Of course, you can also increase the feelings between them, that would be even better.
However, I didn't expect that before I came to her place, I accidentally heard her name when passing by her parents' bedroom, so I wanted to eavesdrop and learn more about her by the way.But, unexpectedly, the more he listened, the more he felt that her parents were really rotten, yes, they were rotten.
He didn't want to comment on her parents like this, but her parents' behavior was really too much.It can be heard from their words that they only have Zhao Keren in their hearts, and even for Zhao Keren, they can sacrifice their other daughter.
No wonder her piano sound is so sad, no wonder she is so defensive.It turned out that in this family, her life was not as good as it seemed.The younger sister hooked up with her fiancé, and the parents blindly favored the younger sister, even sacrificing her to keep her younger sister.What kind of parents are these!
This made him feel very angry. Her parents never thought about it from her perspective. You know, in this era, it is such a big deal for a woman to have a marriage contract with her fiancé who is married to her fingertips. hit.They will only favor that Zhao Keren.If there is anything good about that woman, she will put on airs and secretly hook up with her future brother-in-law.
At this time, Situ Xu never thought that even if Zhao Keran did not terminate the engagement this time, he would find a way.Now, all he has in his heart is pity for Zhao Keren.
Looking at Zhao Keran's peaceful sleeping face, Situ Xu swore in his heart that he would treat Zhao Keran well.He will spend his life to prove it.
Zhao Keran didn't know that while she was sleeping, a man secretly made up his mind and promised her his whole life.This is also destined to lead a completely different life from her previous life.
I don't know when it started, but the wheel of fate has deviated from the track of the previous life. Perhaps this is also the meaning of God's decision to give Zhao Keran another rebirth!
