First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 54

Great Sui, a dynasty famous for its rulers and virtuous ministers, the current emperor will know when he listens, and his pro-virtuous ministers are far away from villains.

Luoyang, the capital city of the Sui Dynasty, was full of prosperity and prosperity. It was the season of peonies blooming at this time, and clusters of peony flowers in full bloom seemed to celebrate the peace and prosperity of the Sui Dynasty.

Luoyang East Street is the residence of important ministers. Most of the people who can place houses on the East Street are the favorite ministers of the current emperor. There is a brand new five-entry mansion on the west side of the East Street. Above the vermilion lacquered gate is an imperial plaque hanging—— Zhuangyuan Mansion.

This is the mansion of Mr. Yang, a talented man of the age, a famous minister and servant of the Ministry of Officials. Mr. Yang has the appearance of Pan An and the talent of governing the world. He was hand-picked as the number one scholar six years ago. He first entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor. Afterwards, he was not afraid of powerful ministers, not afraid of the suppression of Lord Shoufu, and impeached Lord Shoufu for corruption and perverting the law in front of His Majesty...Of course he was first sent to prison by the emperor, but Yang Zhuangyuan refused to give in and wrote down in the prison The blood book was presented to the emperor.

Seeing that he was so loyal and strong, the emperor pityed him and let him out of the dungeon. Unfortunately, this stubborn and upright Yang Zhuangyuan not only refused to admit his mistake, Xie En, but once again wrote to His Majesty... He went to the dungeon three times without regret, and finally he found the proof Evidence of Shoufu’s corruption, the emperor dismissed Shoufu, and personally praised him as a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty. Three years ago, he entered the Ministry of Officials as a hall official. After the Beijing investigation last year, he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials. No.1.

Relying on his good reputation as a scholar and the emperor's favor, Yang Yi has been ranked as a second-rank official in his thirties, and he is firmly seated as the head of the six official ministers, and he is expected to enter the cabinet.

His inspirational experience of poor students has also become an example for many poor students to follow.

The opera singer rehearsed the Praise of Loyal Ministers based on his inspirational experience, which made his reputation of loyalty and virtuousness famous all over the world.

The world is sure that Mr. Yang Yi Yang will join the cabinet within five years.

There is one champion every three years, but Yang Zhuangyuan is indeed one of the best in history. The plaque inscribed by the emperor himself is enough to prove Yang Yi's status in the heart of the emperor. Yang Yi is the number one among the champions!No.1 among the champions of all dynasties!
In the mansion full of flowers, a stage was set up in the backyard of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and famous actors from Luoyang were invited to show off their singing skills on the stage.

On the stage, a well-dressed famous actor babbled and sang chant poems, and there were more than a dozen dignified and beautiful bejeweled wives sitting under the stage, some chatting and laughing quietly, and some complimented A woman with a beautiful appearance and elegant temperament is sitting on the upper arm.

The woman in the bright red peony dress embroidered with big red birthday patterns was only in her early twenties. She was born with a good appearance, and there was a pair of pleated bright eyes on a pretty face that was both happy and angry. The costumes have a natural beauty without decoration. She is graceful and graceful, and her indifferent and steady demeanor fully shows the demeanor of a famous family and big lady.

She was born in a famous family, and she is the youngest daughter of Mr. Xu, a cabinet scholar. The Xu family was a well-known and well-known family in the Sui Dynasty.

She was very liked by the nobles in the palace, especially the empress dowager who lived in the Palace of Compassion and Ning asked her to enter the palace every now and then, and her favor was never fading.

Her talent is astonishing, and the two poems that are occasionally circulated in the boudoir are widely praised.

She got married three years ago with ten miles of red makeup, and was given a marriage by today to Mr. Yang Yi—a flat wife!

Yes, such a sexy Xu Danniang became Yang Zhuangyuan's equal wife!So what kind of woman can overwhelm her?
"Ma'am, ma'am."

The woman in her thirties sitting at the top was woken up by the girl beside her, and she opened her blank eyes... "Where am I?"

"If my sister is tired, go back and rest first." Xu Danniang persuaded respectfully, "I'm just celebrating my birthday, if my sister is exhausted, I will feel sorry."

This person is very beautiful, even more beautiful than Li Yuxin... Li Yuxin, Zeng Rou is completely awake, she died, then what?
What Zeng Rou remembers most clearly is the curse Li Yuxin and others cast on her. Life after life, she was in a desperate situation, and her husband loved another life after life... Nima, Zeng Rou touched the teacup on the table next to her in agitation. Where is it?

Zeng Rou saw that the clothes of the people around her were in the style of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in history, but were there operas in the Sui and Tang Dynasties?Zeng Rou took a deep breath, she must have opened it in the wrong way, she is still enjoying the blessings in Tianhou Palace... Enjoying Zhuge Yun, the curse will not come true so soon.

"elder sister?"

Xu Danniang frowned worriedly: "Your complexion is really bad, why don't I ask the small kitchen to cook some tonic for you? Or let the doctor come over and show my sister?"

The girl next to Xu Danniang curled her lips and muttered, "Today is Madam's birthday, it is too unlucky for a doctor to enter the mansion..."

Xu Danniang lowered her pretty face, "Shut up! Elder sister's body is more important than her birthday? What a slave who doesn't care about the importance, you go to get ten boards from Nanny Zhang, and if you don't respect elder sister again, I will kick you out immediately." go out."

"Yes, ma'am." The maid punished with red eyes, Xu Danniang said to Zeng Rou: "Nothing is as important as sister's health, and my husband always said that you have suffered too much, without you, there is no such thing as today."

"Madam, madam, there are rewards in the palace, there are rewards, and Eunuch Ma brought them to you personally."

Following the little girl's lively voice, the wives stood up and complimented Xu Danniang, "The empress dowager misses Mrs. Xu, and the empress loves Mrs. Xu very much."

"That's right, Mrs. Xu is the only one who has this honor and favor."

Zeng Rou was left alone, without a maidservant beside her, Zeng Rou passed the crowd surrounding Danniang Xu, her eyes fell on the stage, the actor pretended to be a young official to visit his wife's tomb, singing sad and grateful operas , That was the high official's thanks to his wife, for her success, for her filial piety... After paying homage to his wife, he took the newly married daughter of his mentor who was in love with him back to Beijing to enjoy the blessings.

In front of the lonely tomb, there is only an archway for a chaste woman, which proves that a chaste woman who perfected her husband is buried in the tomb!

Zeng Rou's mind has cleared up a lot. No wonder she can sing this play. Zeng Rou has an extra memory in her mind. Isn't this just forcing her to abdicate to Xian?

Could they be any more shameless and hypocritical?
Zeng Rou rubbed her temples, don't get angry, don't get angry!Anger can make people lose their minds, Zeng Rou took a deep breath to calm down the boiling anger, she took this curse!
Xu Danniang smiled to cope with the compliments from everyone. She took the gift from the Empress Dowager and said to Zeng Ju: "What does my sister like? I give it to you?"

"No need."

Zeng Rou stood up slowly, said with a faint smile, "I like to get the things I like by myself, I'm not used to gifts from others."

Xu Danniang did not change her smile, she hid the surprise in her eyes, and said with a smile: "My sister's temper is still so straightforward, the queen mother only gave me the reward for the sake of my husband, when my sister celebrates her thirtieth birthday, you will get it The reward will be even greater."

"That is, how can I say that I am also the first wife of Yi Lang's first wife."

Zeng Rou gave her a smug smile, and left the stage of the concert. She had to think about it carefully, what was going on in this life?What kind of predicament she has to face!
Xu Danniang froze for a moment because of this sentence, so what if many people praised her?Although she is an ordinary wife, the Empress Dowager also awarded her the title of virtuous, but she will still be inferior to Zeng Rou who was born in a craftsman merchant!
This time is good, the courtyard where Zeng Rou lives is the place where the hostess of the Zhuangyuan Mansion should live. Someone poured a glass of water for Zeng Rou who just came back. Her wife, the number one scholar, did a really cheap job.

Zeng Rou didn't take advantage of this to lose her temper, she needed to understand how this situation of being so coldly received was caused, what role did that average wife Xu Danniang play, and the number one scholar Yang Yi... Thinking of this name, Zeng Rou Suddenly, her chest felt so tight and painful, she broke out in a cold sweat, barely propped herself up on the table, Zeng Rou looked at the mirror on the dressing table, yes, it was a mirror!A mirror that shines clearly.

The mirror clearly reflected a sickly woman with a dark yellow complexion, ordinary eyebrows and eyes, and her appearance could only be called delicate... Zeng Rou touched her face, looked in the mirror and said: "Now that you are like this, even delicate It doesn't count!"

Her thin body and sunken eyes are enough to prove that she has been ill for a long time, and she may die at any time.

When she was Concubine Zhao, she had a decent appearance and body, and she was accompanied by a lunatic Zhuge Yun, but now... Zeng Rou has nothing, the original owner's son died, and she was stabbed in the chest fiercely. She survived, but Yang Yi hoped that she would not be able to save her at that time. If she and her son died at the same time, it would prove that Yang Yi disregarded life and death and everything in order to expose the traitor!
Morality is in the middle, do relatives abandon it?
The pain in the chest became worse. Zeng Rou crossed her knees and adjusted her internal energy. She learned nothing else from being Princess Zhao. Martial arts, but the adjustment of internal strength is enough to bring this dying body back to life.

Zhuge Yun... I don't know what kind of crazy behavior that lunatic will do after she leaves, even if she misses him, she will never go back.

After an unknown amount of time, Zeng Rou heard the sound of a huge cannon outside, followed by cheers. Zeng Rou stopped adjusting her breath, stood up and walked to the window. Looking up, there were fireworks blooming in the night sky, a vermilion flower in full bloom. Peonies hang in the night sky.

Peony... Danniang, Zeng Rou looked up at the night sky that had lost its luster because of this gorgeous peony. This should be a birthday gift from the suave Master Yang to his beloved wife.The peony is the national flower of the Sui Dynasty, and Xu Danniang is as bright as a pearl.

Memories emerged in Zeng Rou's mind. Fifteen years ago, the door was sealed by snow, a handsome girl of thirteen or fourteen pushed open the door of the store, and a person who was stiff from the cold bumped in. The little girl was startled, "Dad, Dad, come and see."

Then there is the clip of the handsome scholar convalescing in the Zeng family... The little girl's mother and the kind woman take good care of the sick scholar. After he recovered from his illness, the little girl's family didn't ask him for anything in return, but said that saving lives was better than building a seven-level pagoda. The little girl even encouraged Yang Xiucai to continue his career.

But the grateful Yang Xiucai held the arm of the savior: "Xiaorou, can I marry you?"

"No."

The little girl in my memory withdrew her arm, and smiled shyly: "Brother Yang is a scholar, and he is not suitable for a merchant woman. I just helped Brother Yang, you don't have to marry a merchant craftsman just for this kindness." Wife, when Eldest Brother Yang is successful in his official career, just take care of our Zeng Ji shop business."

"Xiaorou, I like you and I want to marry you, not just to repay your life-saving grace."

"But I didn't think of marrying you when I helped Brother Yang. Dad often said that you don't ask for anything in return. Besides, I don't know how to read, and I don't know poetry, so I don't match Brother Yang."

Zeng Rou knew that her background was not worthy of a scholar, and Zeng Rou also remembered Qi Dafei's words.

She was unwilling to let Yang Yi marry her with kindness. When Yang Yi was recuperating in the Zeng family, Zeng Rou seldom appeared in front of Yang Yi. She did not want to give outsiders a signal to become a scholar.

Although the Zeng family is a merchant craftsman, they are well-known in small towns in the south of the Yangtze River because of their outstanding craftsmanship.

But Yang Yi was very persistent. He repeatedly begged Mr. Zeng to marry Zeng Rou to him, and said in public that he had no intention of starting a career, and he just wanted to be a teacher to live a normal life... That's why the Zeng family married Zeng Rou to him. .

After Yang Yi married Zeng Rou, he was so lucky that nothing could stop him. He had never passed the three exams, but because of an accident, he was appreciated by the school inspector and got the quota for admission. The solution of the land.

After that, he went all the way, and was finally selected as the number one scholar in the Golden Palace. The gap between Zeng Rou and him was getting farther and farther, and there was less and less passion and conversation between them.
