Jiangshan is the betrothal gift

Chapter 26
However, these words hidden in his heart suddenly came out of Ruihua, and Ruiyi felt a little terrified in his heart.

Seeing Ruiyi frightened like this, Ruihua also knew that what she said was a little too much, so she said to her: "Look, you are scared, this is our sister's private talk, no one outside will know, don't worry that is."

Only then did Rui Yi heave a sigh of relief, with tears in his eyes, "Big sister really scared me to death."

"From now on, you will know how sincere I am." Ruihua stared at Ruiyi with a kind of anger that could not be covered with mud.

Rui Yi took out a handkerchief to dab the corners of his eyes, and then said: "I know that big sister has always been kind to me, but... it's just a marriage... I can't make decisions myself."

"It's true that you can't make the decision, but as long as you have the means to win people over, I'll handle the rest for you."

This mighty and domineering words made Rui Yi dumbfounded. What does Rui Hua want her to do?
"Don't be afraid, I won't harm you. My mother told me that she might not be able to decide your marriage. Daddy... I don't know what plans I have. I just thought that since the future is uncertain, it's better for me Go for it."

"Big... elder sister, is what you said true?" Rui Hua's fear came out of Rui Hua's mouth at this moment, she knew it was true, and the sharp sword hanging above her head seemed to fall to the ground at once.I can't say I'm sad, I'm just a little... a little confused.

The fear came true, but I didn't know where to go.

Rui Hua looked at Rui Yi's pale face and felt a little sad, "You know Daddy's temperament, the family raised such a daughter, who provided rich clothes and fine food, taught poetry and songs, and raised slaves and maidservants. , but just for a good marriage. You are the best born among the sisters in your family. I am afraid that your father wants to send you to the palace. Now you are so old... What is your way out if you go ..."

It turned out that her father was thinking of sending her to the palace, Rui Yi was really scared now.The emperor is so old, and six of his sons are married, and he even has a grandson. What future can she have after entering the palace?
In the final analysis, it is just serving the emperor with color and seeking a future for the family.

But what about her?The concubines in the palace looked around. She was afraid that she might not even have a child. When the new king came to the throne in the future, she could only stay in a corner, with a beautiful face and bones, and the rest of her life.

At this moment, she seemed to have seen her end,

Absolutely not like this, she is absolutely unwilling to take this step.

If Ruihua dared to say this, he must have gotten some wind.Next year's draft, I'm afraid his father has already started to manage.

"Big sister." Rui Yi grabbed Rui Hua's hand at once, "Help me."

"If I don't want to give you a hand, why would I bother to tell you this. You know that I broke the rules when I said these things. If Daddy knows, he might beat me up." Ruihua sighed, "It's just that I know it's a pit of fire. , I can't just watch you jump down. Dad was squinted by wealth, but our daughter's life is still so long, so we can't just ruin it like this."

Rui Yi tensed up, feeling like the sky was falling, if no one helped her, she really didn't know what to do.If her father really had this idea, she might not even be able to leave the house before the draft.

"Big sister, what should I do?" She didn't want to enter the palace, she didn't want to go to the land of tigers and wolves to survive, she didn't want to kowtow to others, she didn't want to worry about life and death all the time.With a face like hers, I'm afraid she won't live long if she goes in.

"Mother discussed it with me. Since you can't avoid the draft, why don't we give it a try and see if we can have the luck to let you into the palace." Ruihua's eyes were sharp and decisive in the past, "Concubine Zheng If you really can't ask for it, you can still be sure of being a side concubine. It's better to enter the palace to be a side concubine than you to enter the palace."

"Can I only have these two choices?" Either entering the palace or becoming a concubine, so there is no other future?
"As long as daddy doesn't change his mind, you have no other choice. You have to know that if you tell daddy to cut off your future in the palace, my mother and I will also take great risks." Ruihua sighed, "if you enter the palace, you will be It is certain that your face will be favored, but I am afraid that you will die to enjoy it. If you enter the palace, if you are lucky, you can get a concubine. If you are not lucky, even if you are a side concubine, it is much better than throwing your life into the palace. , people must be content."

"I'm content." Rui Yi smiled wryly, "I'm just not reconciled."

"No one is willing to be a girl. My marriage is looking at the scenery. The eldest daughter-in-law and the future wife are stable, but I can only know how difficult it is when I sit on it. Don't all women have to endure it? .”

"Then elder sister has a specific candidate in mind?" Rui Yi knew that she couldn't even leave the house easily, and if she wanted to get rid of the fate of entering the palace, she could only rely on the eldest lady and Ruihua.

"King Qi, Zhou Shenyi, Dayan's only military leader."

Ruiyi: ...

All the voices seemed to disappear, until the end of the box adding ceremony, Rui Yi couldn't recover from the shock.

What Ruihua said suddenly seemed to touch the most obscure secret in her heart. This secret was the direction she had always wanted to plan for herself, but she never thought that the eldest lady and Ruihua would want to go together with her up.

This kind of feeling is like I want to do something secretly, but it turns out that she can actually go this way in an open and honest manner. This feeling is really joyful and melancholy.

The joy is that she doesn't have to rack her brains to sneak around. With the help of Da Furen and Ruihua, things may be easier.Sadly, Ruihua also said that he could only try, if it didn't work, he was afraid that he would become a side concubine and be a concubine for the rest of his life.

One step to heaven, one step to hell.

It was like a fire burning her heart, making people both happy and fearful, and it was impossible to express her inner entanglement at this time.

In August, the fourth girl and the fifth girl got married together, and the Hou Mansion was very lively with lanterns and festoons. The unmarried sisters gathered around the two of them, saying happy and congratulatory words, and watching them put on red hijabs and be beaten by everyone. The young master and the second young master carried the bridal sedan chair on their backs, firecrackers and gongs and drums blared, and everyone was smiling, except Ruiyi who looked at their backs a little sadly.

Their marriage is not a good one. After they get married, it is impossible to count on the second wife to support them, and I don't know if the life in the in-law's house will be smooth.

On the day of returning home, the married daughter came back to congratulate her as usual, and the second girl still couldn't come. Rui Yi and all the sisters hid behind the screen to secretly watch the two new brother-in-laws.The fourth brother-in-law is a military officer who married a wife on occasion, and he looks very calm and mature. The expression on his face makes people feel a little dark and inexplicable, which makes people tremble.
