Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 5 The Huo Family
Dayan Tianyuan five years.

This year's spring came very late, and there were a few snowfalls in April. Only in May, the willow branches barely sprouted some new green shoots, and the weather was still cold.

However, whether it is the late season or the precarious court, it doesn't seem to matter to ordinary people in the capital city.The market located on Baochun Avenue in the east of the city is still bustling with activity.

Among the busy traffic and people coming and going, those who sell wonton noodles; .

Just after Shenshi, when the passenger flow increased, a Zhulun Qingyu horse-drawn carriage suddenly rushed from the bowstring alley, and yelled loudly, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The people, the carriages crossed Baochun Street, and galloped straight to the northwest of the city, leaving only the back of a big "Jiang" emblem printed on the back of the gradually closing crowd.

Someone spat: "Bah, is it amazing to bully the people with officials?"

On the side, someone sighed knowingly: "The Jiang family is not that kind of family. Mr. Jiang is honest and upright for the people, and never puts on airs. I am so anxious because something happened to their family!"

The troublemakers surrounded him curiously and asked, "Hey, what happened?"

"It's not because of that thief Huo Ying!"

"Hush! You're dying!" Someone gave the insider a hand.

But the man said righteously: "Huo Ying, the dog official, only knows to persuade the emperor to ignore the government affairs, not to live in a good palace, to build another courtyard outside, to set up a leopard room, to hunt chickens and walk dogs all day long, and he relies on the emperor's trust." He does all kinds of evil. Mr. Jiang is a speech official, and he is also the leader of the Qingliu. He impeached Huo Ying, but who would have thought that the papers would be seized by Huo Ying's party members! Now that Mr. Jiang is under arrest, Huo Ying doesn't know how to persuade our little emperor, After going back and forth, Master Jiang was sent to prison, I don’t know what kind of torture Jin Yiwei will be in now!”

Among the surrounding people, there were students who were impoverished but full of enthusiasm for serving the country. Hearing this, they also scolded Huo Ying together.

Someone continued with regret: "I heard that Huo Ying did this on purpose because he fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, in order to force the Jiang family to send their daughter obediently."

"Miss Jiang is a famous talented woman!"

"Who says it's not! Huo Ying has more than a dozen concubines, and it's not enough! How despicable!"

……

Immediately thereafter, three women and one man were crowded into the carriage of Jiang's family heading towards Shichahai.

Down's wrinkled face full of tears:
"It's useless to be a mother, there is no way to save your father, and you are going to suffer this humiliation."

After listening to her mother's words, the eldest girl Jiang Yan also choked up and shed tears, "Mother, I don't care. Huo Ying will not do anything to me if I want to come. If I really go to Huo's house, I will just blindly do nothing and cause no trouble." That's it, maybe in three to five years Huo Ying will get tired of me, and he will let me out."

"But you, you already..." Tang's tears streamed down, and beads of broken threads fell on the front of the half-new indigo cotton jacket.

The third girl, Jiang Wu, frowned, "This is the end of the matter, if you have the time to cry, why don't you think of a countermeasure."

Tang sighed, although she knew that her third daughter was right, she couldn't stop her tears.

Sister Yan still doesn't marry at the age of 19, just because she wants to find a pleasing and talented husband, but now, she has to be carried into the side door of Huo's house to be the little wife of that scum, how can she be willing?

Seeing this, Jiang Wu smiled on her lips: "Didn't Huo Shijiu say that he must be the elder sister?"

Don't want Jiang Yan, do you want her?
Tang shi was afraid of hurting the self-esteem of the third girl, so she only sighed softly in her heart.Jiang Yan and the second master Jiang Chenfeng were also silent.

Jiang Wu looked out of the window indifferently.

She is different from the gentle and virtuous eldest sister who is known for her talents. Since Jiji last year, she beat up in public after Mr. Xue who dared to tease her face-to-face and threatened to marry her. It has spread like wildfire.

This rumor seemed to have been torn open, and all kinds of rumors about her spread all over the famous families in Kyoto for more than a month-the third daughter of Jiang Yushi's family didn't learn from others, didn't become famous women, and didn't read "Female Training" and " Women's Ring", lazy and greedy, without morals, empty skins, no ladylike image, is the shame of women in Kyoto...

She, Miss Jiang, has finally become a celebrity who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the most talented girl, Miss Jiang—but she is notorious.In addition, she has a new nickname of "Hedong Lion", whoever marries her now is an idiot who only pays attention to the appearance and not the inner meaning!None of the sons who are in the same family as her are willing to be idiots.So she can live in peace in this life.That fellow Huo Shijiu probably wouldn't be willing to be an idiot, even though he is ten thousand times more notorious than her.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath to calm her mind, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and said softly: "Third sister, if Huo Ying really chooses me as a concubine later, I will rely on you to help my mother manage the house in the future. Fourth sister You're still young, and your second elder brother is a man... His father is honest, and the family can't afford so many servants and girls, and you have to rely on yourself for everything, such as embroidery, you really have to learn."

Jiang Wu still looked at the faintly visible street scene outside the window screen without looking back, and said after a long while: "Eldest sister, don't worry."

It has been 16 years since she was born in Jiang's family with the memory of her previous life. Her parents are loving and her sisters are harmonious, which completely made up for her regret of being an orphan in her previous life.She lives recklessly and unrestrainedly, and her family has never treated her coldly because of outside rumors, and they still love her the same.Such a good family, how could she see them being wronged?
From her point of view, Dayan now looks like a subjugated country.The emperor was just 14 years old, so it was extremely absurd. The courtiers were in power, the eunuchs were in power, and his father wanted to impeach Huo Shijiu. Now he was sent to prison, and his life and death were uncertain.

Huo Shijiu, whose name is "Ying", is the commander of Jinyi's army. He is the minion of the head of the country, Cai Jing. trust.

He is a cancer of Dayan, but no one can touch him because of the many and intertwined party members.Just looking at his 27-year-old, there are many high-ranking officials willing to recognize him as a "godfather" regardless of age. It can be seen that it is tens of millions of times more difficult to get rid of this person using legitimate means than assassination.

The Jiang family has three daughters and one son, the eldest sister Jiang Yan is famous, the second brother Jiang Chenfeng is just a scholar, she is notorious for being a third-year-old, the younger sister Jiang Jiao is only nine years old this year, and she has never been with her since she was too young.

The last time my mother and my second brother went to Huo's house to intercede, and collected 80 taels of silver, but I didn't even see Huo Shijiu's face, only saw Huo Shijiu's entourage, and heard some good opinions about "sincerity" .So this time, they gathered more "sincerity" and even brought their two marriageable daughters with them.

She thought that her mother shouldn't have planned to bring her, but although she was notorious all over the capital, she was more beautiful than her elder sister. Since she was showing sincerity, Huo Shijiu should choose to avoid trouble.

Jiang Wu closed her eyes, recharging her energy.

After galloping for a while, the carriage stopped slowly.Tang ordered Jiang Yan and Jiang Wu to wear veils.

The coachman set up the black lacquered wooden stools, and Jiang Chenfeng got out of the carriage first, helping his mother, elder sister and third younger sister to get off.

The cold wind was like a knife, and Jiang Yan, who was tall and delicate, trembled.

Seeing this, Jiang Wu took off her light blue cotton cloak and wrapped it around her sister.She insists on exercising all the year round, and never gives up what she has learned in her previous life. She has a good physical foundation and stronger endurance.

Jiang Yan looked back at the third sister, and saw that Jiang Wu's face was hidden under the veil, revealing a pair of flying eyebrows and deep almond eyes, looking at herself with a smile, and there were tears in her eyes again.

Outsiders commented on Sanmei so badly, but only her own family knew that Jiang Wu's temperament was just a little more casual.She had no choice but to be born as a woman. If she was a man, she would naturally do something else.

"Wu'er, I'm not cold."

"Put it on." Jiang Wu patted Jiang Yan's shoulder, and looked at Huo's family with a condensed expression.

Twenty or thirty carriages lined up in front of the vermilion lacquer gate of Huo Mansion, occupying an entire street.Those who handed out posts and gave gifts, and those who clamored to recognize their godfathers, seemed to be more lively than the market just now.

Jiang Chenfeng put his dark blue cloak on Jiang Wu's body, endured the cold, and said with chattering teeth: "You guys stay here for now, I'll go and have a look first."

Jiang Wu wanted to return the cloak to the frail second master, but the second master hurried to the door of Huo's house with the 120 taels of silver they managed to get together.

Squeezing into Danji, Jiang Chenfeng said politely to the door with a mottle on his face: "Please trouble this little brother, we ask to see Mr. Huo."

"Go away! Didn't you see that there are too many people!" Menzi said without raising his eyebrows, "there are so many people who want to see our master, one of them has to come first. There is still something to ask for gifts, go to the registration line first, I've called you, come again!"

Jiang Chenfeng's young and handsome face was flushed with anger, and someone behind him suspected him of jumping in line and pushed him to get off Danchi.He had no choice but to register his name and purpose with the well-dressed accountant with a goatee in front of the door.

Jiang Wu leaned on a weeping willow beside her, casually playing with the palace belt around her waist, and jokingly watching the chaotic scene in front of Huo's house.

The Huo family has become so noisy, the little emperor doesn't know?
Jiang Chenfeng came back and discussed with the three of them:
"Mother, elder sister, third younger sister, I feel sorry for you waiting, there are too many people begging to see Huo Ying. It's cold, why don't you get in the car first, so that it will be warmer anyway. I'll just stay here."

"I'm here with my second brother, mother, do you have something to say to your elder sister? You go to the car and talk."

Tang did have something to tell Jiang Yan, so she nodded.

Jiang Yan handed back the cloak to Jiang Wu.Jiang Wu and Jiang Chenfeng exchanged their cloaks and sent Tang and Jiang Yan to the car together.

When it was time to close the car curtain, Jiang Wu couldn't help joking: "Don't bully me, I can hear you from outside."

There was a smile in the tearful eyes of the mother and daughter, and they laughed and scolded her for being clever, and put down the car curtain.

The low cries of the mother and daughter were soon heard in the carriage.

Jiang Wu pressed her forehead and pursed her lips while standing outside the carriage, a gust of wind blew up and messed up the broken hair at her temples.Could it be that the elder sister really can't escape this time?
Would it be better if she could replace elder sister?
But because of her notoriety, Huo Shijiu would definitely not choose her...
