Chapter 1
In the autumn of that year, the sky that had been clear over the capital city suddenly changed its color. The whole sky seemed to be splashed with ink, and the dark clouds covered the surrounding fields, making people afraid to go out. Soon the dark sky began to rain, and it was heavy rain, heavy rain Continuously, it hit the ground, making a bang bang bang bang, accompanied by a strong wind, whistling.
Like roaring.
In the continuous rain, the civilians who were too late to close their stalls yelled and ran to avoid the rain.
In the front yard of Zhen Guohou's Mansion, several fast horses came galloping from a distance, followed by a carriage, and stopped in front of Zhen Guohou's Mansion not long after.
"Master Hou and the young master are back."
The young man guarding the door saw a few steps and quickly ran to the carriage, bowing respectfully while running.
"En." The next second, a deep voice came from the luxurious and exquisite carriage.
The carriage door was opened from the inside, and a tall figure came out. After getting out of the carriage, he turned to the door and said, "Come down." His voice was soft and pity.
The carriage was opened again, and a beautiful and gentle woman came out holding a cute and delicate little boy about three years old. A long pleated skirt, a gentle smile full of tender eyes, was supported by a tall figure to get out of the car.
Go all the way to Zhen Guohou Mansion.
At this moment, the gate of Zhen Guohou's mansion was full of maids, wives, and servants who greeted them, each of them bent over respectfully, the tall figures supported the petite and beautiful woman and led the cute and delicate little boy without stopping. The three of them looked It's like a family of three, but the woman's hair is not pulled up, she seems to be unmarried.
The maids, women, and servants who surrounded them seemed to be accustomed to it, and they looked at the woman with respect or envy.
"The fifth girl is so beautiful." "Yes."
After everyone left, a few little maids in the corner hid in the corridor and whispered while watching the rain curtain outside.
"Same as the fairies in the paintings, more beautiful than the concubines in the palace." "Keep your voice down so that people can hear—I heard that the fifth girl is also very kind. The one who was beaten, Fifth Miss happened to pass by and rescued that maid."
"Really?"
"Of course it is true. Fifth Miss is Madam's younger sister, but she is much more beautiful than Madam. She looks kind and gentle. Although Madam is also gentle, she is far behind Fifth Miss. I heard that the housekeepers are all Fifth Miss. Helping to take care of it, Miss Wu is worthy of being the lady of the Shangshu Mansion."
"The madam is also a young lady of the Shangshu Mansion, and the madam is still a descendant of the Shangshu Mansion, and the fifth girl is just a concubine, why is the fifth girl better than the madam—"
"Don't talk about it. Although Madam is a direct descendant, I heard that she was not favored since she was a child. Madam's mother passed away early and was raised by her stepmother... Mr. Shang Shu and Madam's father don't care about things. Fortunately, Madam's mother passed away early. I made an engagement with Lord Hou, who was still the eldest son of our Zhenguohou Mansion at the time, otherwise I don’t know what to do. Speaking of which, my wife is also pitiful. No one seriously educates the old Lord Hou and the old lady who are weak in character and can’t die after marriage. , there is no status in the Hou Mansion, but fortunately, after giving birth to a young son, I finally have something to rely on."
"But Madam is getting sicker and sicker now. I heard that she can't get up anymore. The imperial doctor said that she just has to wait for the day. Madam is still so young, so she is going to go. After she goes, what will the young master do, Lord Hou?" I will definitely marry again. There are so many daughters in the entire capital who want to marry Lord Hou. If Lord Hou hadn’t been engaged back then—even if there were many concubines, Lord Hou is worthy of his wife. After all these years , Master Hou has never taken concubines, he just guarded his wife, and even rejected the Lord Hou who was given by the old lady, which made the old lady dislike her even more, and so did the lady. If you accept it generously, maybe the old lady will be more Like it."
"That's right, Madam is not in good health and doesn't give her husband a concubine. No wonder the old madam is unhappy. It's just a concubine. Madam can't think about it. After the madam is ill, she hears about the affairs of the house and takes care of the young master. She is the fifth girl. The old madam I don't like my wife, but I have always liked Fifth Miss. As soon as Fifth Miss heard that my wife was seriously ill, she hurried over. She took care of the seriously ill wife and took care of the young son. She burned incense every day to pray for her. The temple burns incense for his wife, and today Hou Ye took the young master to pick up the fifth girl."
"I heard from people in the backyard that Lord Hou often stays with the fifth girl and the young master. They look more like a family than the wife. The fifth girl is the wife's sister and the young master's aunt. It would be great if the fifth girl married in. gone."
"I heard that the old lady meant that."
"Where is Lord Hou?"
"Master Hou also agreed."
"..."
At the end of the corridor, a somewhat stooped woman with gray hair and a sallow complexion stared at the tall figure, the petite woman and the little boy in the direction they were going away, with an expression of anger on her face. After a long time, she turned her head to look at Zheng and whispered: The maidservants who were talking: "These bastards are talking nonsense, how can that bastard compare to Madam—"
With a straight face, he was about to step forward and teach those maidservants a lesson.
"Nurse, nurse." A small voice came from behind her.
"Why are you here, what's the matter?"
The mother-in-law had no choice but to stop in resentment, and turned to look at the little maid who stopped her.
The little servant girl looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, her hair was disheveled, and her body was so thin that she would collapse when the wind blows. She was looking anxiously at the old woman, and said: "Nurse, madam is vomiting blood again."
"Go, go back."
The mother-in-law's face changed drastically, and she ran to the backyard anxiously.
"Is the nanny Hou Ye back? There is also the young master."
"came back."
"Then did you tell Master Hou that Madam wants to see him?"
"I haven't had time to say it yet." Thinking of what she saw in the front yard just now, the look of her uncle and that bitch hugging the little boy, the mother-in-law was full of resentment: "Let's go back first, madam is important."
A room in the backyard of Zhen Guohou's Mansion.
Compared with the excitement of other places, this place is quiet and cold. If it is autumn in other places, it is winter here.
The flowers in front of the courtyard were ruined under the heavy rain, which seemed to indicate something.
In the room, there is a strong smell of medicine, and the exquisite layout looks equally cold and bleak. The window sills are tightly closed, and there is no ventilation. As soon as you enter, you can faintly smell a strange smell. The blue-haired, messy-haired woman who looked like an old woman coughed under the quilt.
"Cough cough cough-"
She kept coughing, her thin and pale body was crumbling under the coughing, and there was no one in the room except her. She curled up, and a smear of blood appeared on the veil covering her face from time to time.
It was blood, bright red blood, stinky and enchanting.
The woman, who looked like an old woman, had a faint stench.
