Chapter 1: There are strange flowers in the Jiangshan generation
Dachen, the winter of the first year of Xining, Lin'an City.
The snow falls, bent the red plums, making it difficult to see the way ahead. The air is filled with the sweet aroma of red beans, walnut kernels, longan and red dates. Today is Laba Festival.
A maid wearing a pair of knots and wearing a green dress was walking quickly in the corridor with a small tray, and the snow shoes hit the wooden path, making a crisp tick sound.
When she walked to the door, she shook the snow moist on her body, lifted the curtain with one hand, and walked in.
"The third lady was still coughing when she got up this morning, why did she open the window? If the wife saw you, she should scold you again."
She said, putting the tray on the small table, quickly stepped forward, and closed the window with a snap.
There was a piece of rice paper on the table, and a tree of red plums was painted on it. Snowflakes outside the window fell in and were painted on it, supporting the red plums as if they were covered with frost.
The girl's eyes flashed with surprise and exclaimed, "How long has the third lady opened the window? The paintings are full of all. It's terrible. I'll cook ginger soup for you."
The lord of this mansion's family is Xie, and he is Xie Baolin, the magistrate of Fuyang County under Lin'an City.
Because it was Laba Festival, the family went to a nearby mountain temple to seek defu porridge. Only the youngest lady Xie San caught a cold night and was pressed by her wife to stay at home.
Xie Jingyi looked at Qingping's busy look and felt quite moved. She had not seen a little maid who dared to custody her for many years.
In her previous life, she went from a young lady from a county magistrate to a noble daughter of a wealthy family. At her grandmother's birthday party, she ruthlessly cut off her kinship in front of everyone and set up a girl's household.
Then he went to the deep palace to become a female official, from an unknown little palm, and was the third-rank official who commanded the 24th Division of the Six Bureaus.
Everyone in the entire city of Bianjing knows a saying: The country has been strange for generations, who is more than Xie Jingyi?
"I'm just opening the window for breath. The smell of medicine in the room is very stuffy. If the window has been opened for a long time, the snow foam on the painting will melt long ago. Where can I still get frost? Why have you been there for so long? I've been hungry for a long time."
Qingping, who was panicked, was so scared that she shivered when she heard Xie Jingyi's voice. Xie Sanniangzi was known as Huanxi Bodhisattva, and her voice was soft and soft like a sticky bean bag. She was rarely angry, but she actually heard the difference from that gentle voice today.
Qingping thought, and stammered, "Don't be angry, I've brought the porridge to the yard, but I've come to report to the front yard that someone has come to the Yongping Marquis Mansion in the capital, and I have to find the master if I have something to do. What about this Marquis Mansion? It's scary, and the gatekeeper dare not neglect. Now there is only the third lady in the mansion, but I don't report it here. This is delayed."
Yongping Hou Mansion? Xie Jingyi curled the corners of her mouth.
All the misfortunes of the Xie family started from the Laba Festival in the first year of Xining and from the Yongping Marquis' Mansion. This is a regret that no matter how powerful she was later, she could not make up for it.
His father Xie Baolin was originally from Fuyang County, and his ancestors were farmers for three generations. After being a juren, he married Zhai, his classmate Zhai Yuanyang's biological sister.
The Zhai family is a well-known cloth merchant in Lin'an City. The Xie family relied on Xie Baolin's "Xiaogui" and the "Xiaofu" of the Zhai family to barely gain a place in Lin'an City. It is simply inseparable from the Yongping Marquis Mansion in the capital.
But it was a bit unborn, and the Yongping Hou Mansion came to recognize his relatives.
It was said that the old marquis of Yongping Hou Mansion was seriously ill and was out of reach. He thought about the family reunion, so he sent people to search for the eldest son who was unfortunately lost in the past. After many searches, it was finally confirmed that the person was Xie Baolin, the magistrate of Fuyang.
At that time, she had never seen the world and was fooled by the people from the Yongping Marquis' Mansion. She sent someone to the temple to find her father and mother. Her father Xie Baolin believed this and immediately took leave and went to Beijing. However, she met a bandit halfway, and the family was separated by yin and yang...
People say that father and son recognize each other and express their feelings, and there is a saying that the storm is a busy life!
After being reborn for a lifetime, she didn't even want to give a look to that family of bitches!
Xie Jingyi's eyes rolled, picked up a veil and wiped her mouth, and said in confusion, "Yongping Marquis' Mansion? Our ancestors all lived in Lin'an. When will they be related to the capital? Isn't it a liar? This year is the year of my father's rating exam, and the eldest brother is going to take the imperial examination again. This blessing porridge is crucial. Don't let someone bother my father. Let's first explore the reality of that person."
Qingping nodded, put on a cloak with white rabbit fur on Xie Jingyi, and then put a hand warmer in her arms, then picked up the curtain and went forward to lead the way.
The house in Xie Mansion is not big, and soon we arrived in the side hall of the front yard.
There was a servant in his thirties standing in the room, wearing thick gray squirrel skin, looking around with his eyes, and walking impatiently.
Seeing Xie Jingyi enter the door, he bowed his hand randomly and looked behind her, "This little lady, come out quickly and find your master, and a happy event has come from heaven."
Xie Jingyi spat in her heart, and there was a happy event from heaven, which was simply bloody mold from heaven!
She was blinded in her previous life, so she didn't see the contempt in the eyes of this old woman. The energy of your family being lucky and the smoke from the ancestral grave was filled with the whole room, which was really foul.
If you really want to recognize your relatives, how could you send only one old lady here?
Xie Jingyi shook her sleeves and waited for Qingping to abandon her cloak. Then Cai Shizhang sat down slowly, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the woman, "What a noble family is the Yongping Marquis' Mansion? Even Ah Mao and Ah Dog are well-educated. You, a woman, can't even salute the master's family, what's the reason?"
The servant was stunned, smiled shamelessly, and bowed again, "I am so happy that I lost my courtesy. Look at the little lady's words and actions, I think she is a master. I am the manager of the Yongping Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis is seriously ill and is concerned about the eldest son who was lost many years ago. After searching for it, I realized that it was Mr. Xie in the mansion."
"It just so happened that the Duke of Qi sentenced the Liangzhe Road Strategy and Pacification Envoy, so the old slave came to Lin'an with their big ship and took your family back to the Marquis' Mansion to celebrate the New Year, so that he could see the Marquis for the last time."
When Xie Jingyi heard this, she looked at the Wang Pozi in surprise, "Your old marquis is seriously ill and is about to leave. Are you happy that you have lost your etiquette?"
Mrs. Wang's smile gradually became stiff...
Xie Jingyi rolled her eyes and said, "My grandma, don't think I'm not good at speaking. In the past few days, several demons and monsters who claim to be this and that mansion... Our Xie family has counted three generations to his ancestors, and they all grew up drinking the water from Fuchun River. As soon as the maid came here, she changed her ancestors. I didn't beat you up, it was because I had already cultivated. Have you said this, but have any certificates?"
Mrs. Wang's face darkened. She was not the first one to come? It makes no sense!
She thought, and took out an envelope from her arms happily, "This is our Marquis's handwritten letter, which is covered with the seal of the Marquis' Mansion of Yongping. There is also a jade pendant inside, which is a pair of the ones worn by Mr. Xie's neck, exactly the same as the one on his neck."
As she said that, she wanted to stuff these into Xie Jingyi's arms.
Xie Jingyi frowned and glanced at Qingping.
Qingping put her hands on her hips and leaned across the middle, and took the letter from Mrs. Wang, "You can touch my little girl's slender hands?"
Xie Jingyi's eyelids twitched, and she didn't read the letter, so she stuffed her sleeves and said as if nothing had happened: "My grandma, don't think I was indifferent. In the past few days, several demons and monsters who claimed to be this and that mansion... Our Xie family has counted three generations to his ancestors, and they all grew up drinking the water of Fuchun River. As soon as the maid came here, she changed her ancestors. I didn't beat you up, it was my cultivation. Have you said this, do you have any certificates?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned...
