Chapter 1 Wrong Marriage
"Cousin, this is the marriage contract you and my father made back then. I..."
"I don't want to get married! Dad, Neiguan He has promised to help me enter the palace again. I don't want to get married!"
Bianjing City, Luwei Lane, in a simple courtyard.
After Jiang Chen came to visit his cousin and exchanged greetings with his cousin, he just took out the engagement contract with his cousin Liu Mingjie——
A young girl who was wearing coarse linen clothes but was extremely beautiful and extremely beautiful rushed out of the inner room impatiently and glanced at Jiang Chen with disgust as she spoke.
Um?
Is she Liu Mingjie?
In history, the little concubine Liu who was first occupied by the eunuch He Xin and then presented to Song Huizong by the eunuch Yang Jian, who made Song Huizong unable to eat and sleepless after a day's absence - the Queen of Mingjie?!
Although Jiang Chen had been mentally prepared for it, he was still shocked.
He was originally a fisherman with a thick face and a dark heart. After the car accident, he opened his eyes again and inexplicably came to another time and space in the Northern Song Dynasty. He became a poor little scholar who came to visit relatives with a marriage contract, but died suddenly on the roadside.
Combining the memories of his past life and this life, he had already guessed the astonishing historical identity of his fiancée Liu Mingjie, and came to her with the exciting idea of cutting off Hu and destroying the faint emperor Song Huizong.
Unexpectedly, he was disliked by Liu Mingjie!
At the same time, the person who disliked him was his aunt who had always kept a straight face and said nothing. Seeing that her daughter did not like Jiang Chen, she also said coldly:
"I don't agree with this marriage either!
If you have the appearance of Zhaojun in Mingjie, even if you cannot become a queen in the future, you can still be a noble concubine and enjoy endless glory and wealth!
How can you be betrothed to a down-and-out ghost? Wouldn't that mean she will be ruined for the rest of her life?"
"What a destitute ghost? Don't be so ugly when you speak!"
Cousin Liu Zongyuan glared at his mother-in-law, and then said helplessly to Jiang Chen:
"Brother Chen, your cousin has been in the palace since she was ten years old and has served the current Queen Mother for five full years. Her vision and spirit have been raised. She thinks about being a noble person all day long, but I'm afraid... she is not a good match for you!
"
Not a good match?
Do you mean to say that I am not good enough for her?
Jiang Chen looked Liu Mingjie up and down, feeling unhappy:
As my fiancée, you only want to enter the palace to take advantage of Song Huizong, the dog emperor who lost his country?
Do you think I'm Green Arrow?
snort!
Since you don’t want to be my wife, then I’ll take you as my concubine and let you wash my and my future wife’s stinky feet every day!
Let’s see if you still dare to despise me then!
With this in mind, Jiang Chen smiled meaningfully at Liu Mingjie and said, "Since my cousin doesn't want to be my wife, then cancel the engagement!"
So refreshing?
My cousin and aunt looked surprised.
Liu Mingjie was also stunned for a moment, and then he proudly raised his chin and said, "Thank you very much, cousin. I will definitely support you when I become a noble person in the future!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a graceful, gentle and beautiful woman suddenly walked in from the door with a pretty little girl carrying a basket.
When she found a strange man in the house, she immediately lowered her head, turned sideways and said:
"Auntie, I have mended today's clothes. There are also some embroideries made by Xiang'er. Could you please help us bring back some rice and salt tomorrow?"
After that, she put down the basket and left.
Seeing this, her cousin quickly stopped her and said, "Yue Niang, this is your cousin Chen from the Shanyang Jiang family. He is not an outsider. You don't need to avoid it!"
After saying that, he introduced Jiang Chen:
"Brother Chen, this is your cousin's daughter Yueniang. She is eighteen years old, so she is one year older than you.
I was originally a concubine of the Zhang family, but after your cousin's death, that evil mistress not only ruined my job, but also reduced me to the point where I had to work as a bartender in a restaurant to barely make ends meet;
He also pointed out Yueniang to a sick man and made her become a housekeeper...
Now Yueniang has left the Zhang Mansion, takes her maiden name Liu, and lives in the west courtyard of my house."
"I've met my cousin!"
After Jiang Chen heard this, he stood up and bowed.
Although this cousin is not as stunningly beautiful as Liu Mingjie, her skin is whiter than snow, pure and flawless, just like a pear blossom blooming after the rain, holy and lofty, giving people a feeling that cannot be blasphemed!
She is simply more fairy sister than the fairy sister. She instantly refreshed the image of the perfect goddess in Jiang Chen's mind.
"My cousin is so polite!"
Liu Yueniang lowered her head and returned the salute, then turned to leave.
But her aunt grabbed her and said to her cousin with shining eyes:
"Master, I think Brother Chen and Yueniang are handsome and match each other quite well! How about we betroth Yueniang to Brother Chen?"
"That's what I meant!"
My cousin smiled and nodded.
"I can't do it, I can't do it! I am an unknown person, and I would never dare to ruin my cousin's reputation and future."
Liu Yueniang's pretty face turned red, she was shy and anxious, and she kept waving her hands.
"What can't be done?
He is already in such a state of desolation, and he still has a shitty reputation and future?"
The aunt glanced at Jiang Chen with disdain, and then advised Liu Yueniang:
"Since you don't want to be a concubine, and you despise those who are old and ungrateful, the most you can do is marry someone like this.
Who among the young and promising scholars would want to marry a stranger? Stop being picky, your uncle and I will be worried to death by you!"
After hearing this, my cousin nodded in approval and said to Jiang Chen:
"Brother Chen, although your cousin is a lonely one, she is pretty, gentle and virtuous, and the maid Xiang'er beside her is pretty and capable. She is a rare good match for you;
As long as you are willing to treat her well, I promise you today that when your cousin becomes a noble person, I will support you. I wonder what you want?"
Do you even need to ask?
Jiang Chen didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.
He could marry the 'fairy sister' whom he fell in love with at first sight without asking for a garage or a bride price. He really couldn't find any reason to refuse.
He was a little reserved and then smiled and said: "My cousin is elegant and dignified, pure and pure, she is indeed a rare good match!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the extremely arrogant Liu Mingjie with ill intentions:
If my cousin washes my and Yueniang's feet, she will definitely die of 'happiness', right?
I don’t know what my cousin and aunt will think when the time comes.
Jiang Chen smiled expectantly.
But Liu Yueniang was stunned with an unexpected look on her face.
After secretly taking a look at Jiang Chen, I found that although this man looked downcast, he was tall and handsome.
I couldn't help but wonder: Why would such a young and handsome scholar be willing to marry me, a lonely man?
Is it because of beauty?
Or is he hoping that his cousin Mingjie will help him in the future?
Could it be that he is in debt and wants to sell me...
For a time, Liu Yueniang was worried about gains and losses, and was in a state of confusion.
But her cousin and aunt didn't give her a chance to think about it, and they couldn't wait to make a decision:
"Okay! Since Brother Chen has no objection, we will make the decision and betroth Yueniang to you!"
Finally, he got rid of the big trouble of Yueniang, and at the same time, he also solved the worries of his precious daughter breaking off the engagement.
The couple were very happy and made Jiang Chen and Liu Yueniang worship heaven and earth on the spot.
