Chapter 1
In the carriage, Yan Yanling, with loose hair, huddled in a corner and read a book. After reading it for a long time, she was persuaded by the nanny Xu Mama: "I know that girls love to read, but you must also pay attention to your body. How can you live day and night?" read."

She also asked the little maid, Guan Gui, to comb her hair, "When we go to Beijing, we will live in someone else's house, so we can no longer just let our hair down like we are at home."

Guan Gui just laughed, "Isn't it that you haven't arrived in the capital yet?"

Mother Xu: "That's coming soon!"

Sheng Yanling was soft-tempered, so she pursed her lips and smiled watching the two quarrel.There are three people in this carriage.Mother Xu and Guan Gui are mother and daughter, both servants of her family, and they are the only ones who accompanied her when she left home to go to Kyoto this time.

And she went to Kyoto to get married.

Feast Bell is 15 years old this year.A year ago, her aunt, Mrs. Ning Guogong from Kyoto, told her about the marriage of her husband's family in Kyoto.

At first, my mother disagreed because she didn't want her to marry far away.My aunt wrote to say that the other party was the youngest son of the Hanlin family. Although he was a bastard, he was not only good-looking and well-educated, but also decent. She also sent a portrait. moon.

But her family is in Lingnan, facing the southern border, and it is too far away from the capital, so it takes three months to get there.He was afraid that there would be mistakes on the way to get married, so he sent her to his aunt's house to be married.

Both my aunt and her aunt were born in the Wenxinhou Mansion, but the aunt is a legitimate daughter and the aunt is a concubine, and the people they marry are also very different.

The Ningguo Duke’s aunt married into a rich family, and her father was originally a hunter who joined the army with brute strength, and now he is only a fifth-rank captain—the reason why he was able to marry her family’s mother is because It is also thanks to the ancestors who smoked green smoke, who saved Wen Xinhou's life by mistake many years ago, and got a daughter from him to repay his kindness.

The two families didn't have much contact in the past, except that the aunt and her mother had a good relationship since they were young. After they got married, they often exchanged letters and moved around during the New Year ceremony, which was very close.This time I went to Kyoto early, it was for her sake that my aunt discussed with my parents to let her go to Kyoto to get acquainted first, so that she can get married directly from the Duke's mansion, and the other party can look up to her.

So Mother Xu became very nervous after she knew that she was going to live in the Duke's mansion.

She was also not allowed to dishevel her hair, and bought some rouge powder to apply on her—for fear that she would be said to be unruly and rustic from a small place.

Sheng Yanling is not afraid, she comforted: "Auntie said that my aunt has a good heart, so there is no need to be afraid. As long as you don't cause trouble and don't go out, it should be fine."

Mother Xu was still uneasy.She was uneasy and wanted to do something.Seeing that Guan Gui had already combed a simple cloud bun for Sheng Yanling, he opened the box curtain and began to choose hairpins.

As soon as she picked out a golden phoenix, she was stopped by the feast bell: "Don't want these expensive ones, just keep it so plain."

Mother Xu: "How can this be possible?"

Guan Gui helped his girl to speak, "Mother, Mr. Jing just passed away, the girl is filial, gold jewelry is not suitable."

A word of filial piety made Xu's mother lose her temper.She gave Guan Gui a hard look, "Mr. Jing is just the girl's husband, even if he passes away, the girl shouldn't come to keep his filial piety."

Guan Gui: "Anyway, the girl doesn't want to wear it, so you can't let her wear it."

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the girl's eyes were lonely, and there were faint tears coming out, obviously she was thinking about the dead husband again.Without reprimanding her, she said: "Aniang, look, the girl finally stopped her sadness, and you are talking nonsense here again!"

Xu's mother blushed with anger after being robbed by her, but she didn't dare to speak anymore.She knew that Mr. Jing was unusual in the girl's heart, so she had to shut up.

But Sheng Yanling couldn't stop crying.

She sobbed softly.

Xu's mother hurriedly said: "Don't wear it if you don't wear it, it's my fault, ancestor, don't cry, lest you damage your body."

Sheng Yanling was obedient and obedient, so she changed from sobbing and weeping silently, with tears in the corners of her eyes, she hugged the book and shrank into a corner to mourn.She originally had a clean and soft appearance, but when she cried like this, she was extremely lovable.

Guan Gui was also sentimental: "Mr. Jing was so good-looking, but he died at such a young age. It's really a pity."

Sheng Yanling corrected her earnestly, "Sir, you are well educated. It's a pity that you know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom."

Where can I look superficially at the appearance.

Mother Xu didn't like scholars, and she didn't like good looks, so she always looked down on Mr. Jing—Lingnan is near the border, the people's wisdom is not yet developed, and martial arts are not respected.Mr. Jing is still a sick child, he can't take medicine out of his mouth, can't lift his shoulders, and can't lift his hands. He really can't get into the eyes of Mrs. Xu.

She still likes a good guy who can swing a sledgehammer.

Then he muttered, "You can't eat if you are good at learning—he doesn't have any fame or salary."

Sheng Yanling was rarely angry with Xu's mother.

In her heart, the husband is an excellent person who cannot be slandered.

Mr. Jing suddenly rented in the alley where her house lived four years ago at the beginning of spring.

She lives at the end of the alley and his at the end of the alley.When he came, he had nothing but three boxes of books.

Sheng Yanling is a person who likes to read, but her father is an illiterate military officer and a petty official with a small salary, so he can't hire a husband for her, nor can he buy her many books.So I fell in love with Mr. Jing's book.

She is timid and weak-tempered, but she is very stubborn about studying. Knowing that he is very knowledgeable, she has the cheek to ask for advice.At first, he ignored him and just lay on the rocking chair and basked in the sun with his eyes closed—Mother Xu accompanied him to school at that time, and seeing him like that, he asserted that he was waiting to die.

But then he didn't die, and lived sickly day after day.He is alive, and she is not discouraged. She goes to help cook, wash and clean the yard every day, and squats under his rocking chair with a book, looking up and asking herself: "Sir—the book says mayfly, it is slightly Also, life and death, have you seen it?"

Xu Shi got annoyed by asking, and Xu Shi was moved by her sincerity, so he also began to teach a few words.

In the end, she became more and more acquainted, she was late studying at his house and couldn't go home, and she was timid and afraid of the dark, so he took her back with a beautiful hexagonal glazed lamp.

Thinking of this, Yan Yanling couldn't help crying again.Now, that glazed lamp has become her property, and it is placed in the box on the carriage, but the husband is no longer there.

Mother Xu really regretted it.She really loved Sheng Yanling, so she hurriedly said: "I won't say anything about Mr. Jing in the future, so don't cry!"

Sheng Yanling wasn't angry with Mother Xu.She thought that with such a good knowledge of the husband, he didn't even have a reputation, so it must be because he didn't want to take the exam, not because he couldn't pass the exam.But she didn't want to argue with Xu's mother, Xu's mother didn't understand Mr.

So I simply stopped talking, and just crookedly read the book given by my husband in the corner.When my husband arrived in Lingnan, he brought three boxes of books with him. In the following four years, he bought many new books, and now there are seven boxes of books.She brought all these seven boxes of books and reviewed a little every day, conscientiously and diligently, which was worthy of her teaching.

When the capital city approached, March had already passed, and she had finished reading half a box of books.On the day they arrived in the capital, Duke Ning's mother-in-law was waiting at the gate of the city early. When she saw them coming, she led someone to pick them up and brought them into Duke Ning's mansion.

It was the beginning of June at this time, and the weather was very hot. The mother-in-law was sweating all the way, and said with a smile: "But when the cousin is here, the madam is thinking about it. She wanted to pick up the girl in person today, who knows The third young master suddenly had a fever in the morning, so he stayed to take care of him."

Sheng Yanling knew that the third young master she was talking about happened to be two years older than her, so he should be called cousin.She wasn't very good at talking, but her cousin was sick, and people told her, so she naturally had to be concerned, so she asked, "Is your cousin okay?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "It's nothing, but I caught a cold and got seriously ill the night before March, and my body became much weaker. Maybe it was cold again yesterday, and that's why I had a fever."

Sheng Yanling couldn't help but think of her husband again.

My husband also caught a cold at night three months ago. At first he thought it was okay, but later his old illness relapsed, so he just went there.

She said sincerely: "Cousin will definitely get better."

But don't be as unlucky as Mr.

 The first book, please support me a lot.

  Regarding the cousin relationship that everyone asks a lot, let me talk about it first, and I will solve it later. Don't worry, but I won't spoil it.Moreover, cousins ​​in ancient times can get married, so on the surface it is not a big problem to get married.

  Love you guys, go faster, don't get fat.
