"There is a girl riding in the same carriage, her face is as beautiful as Shun's. She will be soaring and will fly, wearing jade and Qiongju. [The Book of Songs·Guofeng·Zheng Feng]
Empress Dong was eager to solve a problem for her father. After the matter was settled, Chang Yu immediately called for people to come in and change their clothes. The replaced palace servants had long been looking forward to going home and were unwilling to do so. Dong Cheng felt that the burden on his shoulders had been relieved.
Also thinking that his daughter had no help in the palace, Chang Yu, although smart, was not pretty enough, so he took advantage of this opportunity to select a few innocent people from the house to send to Empress Dong.
Changyu felt threatened, frowned, and immediately refused: "There shouldn't be too many people. You might as well choose one or two small ones to enter the palace for easy education."
Dong Chengshen thought so, but when he searched the house, he found that most of the suitable women had been raped by him, and others could tell at a glance that they were not innocent women from good families. So after picking and choosing, the young and frail Guo Zhao was also included in the palace.
When she heard that she was about to enter the palace, Du Luofu became more and more frightened. She didn't know how things could turn into this situation. A few days ago, she was still a commoner's wife in Luli. Once she entered the palace, she saw that she was going to be ignored for the rest of her life. Who knew that things would take a turn for the worse?
, and wanted to send her to Weiyang Palace. She became more and more frightened about her future future. Extremely insecure, she actually relied on Guo Zhao, who was several years older than her.
Different from Du Luofu's fear, Guo Zhao seemed very excited. She tried to comfort her: "You should be happy to have escaped from the cage! There will never be a worse place to go than Dong's Mansion."
Guo Zhao thought that after she entered the palace, she would be able to handle things with ease based on her talent and appearance. This was something she had never expected. Now that the opportunity was approaching, she comforted Du Luofu and started to prevaricate.
"Isn't the palace a good place?" Du Luofu had more experience than Guo Zhao after all. She said: "Don't think that you are smart and can act wantonly. After entering the palace, you still have to be cautious. As time goes by,
They forgot about it and we will slowly try to figure it out."
Guo Zhao originally obeyed Dong Cheng's concubine's instructions and deliberately let Du Luofu suffer the cold treatment, but as she and Du Luofu took care of each other in the past few days, she deeply felt that Du Luofu sincerely cared about her like an eldest sister. This made Guo Zhao
Zhao felt a little guilty and couldn't help but put down the clothes he was packing and said in a low voice: "I don't have a home anymore. It's the same wherever I go. I just want to live a better life."
"I don't understand why you want to help me as soon as you see me." Du Luofu stood up, her face was no longer as yellow as it was at the beginning, but gradually faded away. She held Guo Zhao's hand
He held his hand and said seriously: "But I know that you have a good heart. If there is no chance in the future, you and I will support each other."
"I, I." Guo Zhao lowered her head guiltily. Her appearance could be destroyed by Dourofu in Japan, but in the end she just used water boiled with pomegranate peels that would temporarily turn people's faces yellow: "I'll help
Just clean it up, they are coming to hurry you up."
The two of them packed up their simple luggage at the urging of outsiders, and were about to push the door open and go out. Du Luofu smiled softly, and her eyes were vivid as she fled from here: "I also want to ask, why are you so reluctant to stay in Dong?"
Where is the government?"
Guo Zhao was stunned, she pursed her lips, and then said in a firm and serious tone: "I can't say, but I always feel that my life is far from what it should be."
Du Luofu will never know the magic of fate, just like she will never know the real motive of Guo Zhao taking the initiative to approach her that day, and whether her persistence towards Qin Yi is meaningful in the end.
After Dong Cheng sent Du Luofu away, he felt confident. When faced with Yang Qi's questioning again in Chengming Hall, he even said confidently: "This matter is nothing and it is insignificant, but since all the gentlemen care about me
It’s a private matter, so you might as well take the relevant person to my house to see if this person is there.”
He thought that this was enough to scare everyone away, but Dong Cheng still didn't fully understand that it didn't matter whether he really robbed a civilian's wife or not.
Chang'an, Beique Jiadi.
As soon as Wang Fu returned home, he heard a few familiar dog barks coming from the inner courtyard behind him. His eyes jumped, he turned around and walked first to the backyard where the female relatives lived. As expected, Wang Fu met him in the backyard.
A yellow puppy arrived, wagging its tail amusingly with a ball of stuffed cloth in its mouth.
Two young and beautiful women stood tall and tall, one was a little older, wearing a woman's bun, brocade clothes, jade hairpins and beads, the combination was particularly clever, and the low-key style revealed compelling wealth;
The other woman's clothes were a little plain, but she was younger and looked even more innocent and childish. The two pink ribbons hanging from her hair were fluttering in the wind, touching people's hearts.
"Sister-in-law." Wang Fu was stunned for a moment, then stood under the courtyard gate and bowed to the richly dressed woman from afar.
Mi Zhen turned around, smiled, took two steps forward, and said, "Ji Zi came back early today, and Aweng was thinking about you just now."
"I have nothing to do today, so I went to Junshu Prison to meet Mr. Mi. He has been busy transporting grain and fodder these days, and he hasn't been home for a long time." Wang Fu stood still and held Jia Chang with Mi Zhen, his eyes wide.
But he looked behind her.
The little yellow dog seemed to sense something and barked fiercely at Wang Fu several times.
Wang Fu frowned, disgust flashed across his eyes.
Mi Zhen didn't seem to notice his expression, she lowered her eyes and sighed: "Brother, he is always like this."
"Yes, I also advised him to take a short rest these two days and not rush to make transportation arrangements. After all, no one knows whether the food and grass he worked so hard to organize will be temporarily changed in the end." Wang Fu suddenly stopped and smiled at Mi Zhen,
He said goodbye hastily: "I have to go see Aweng, so I'll say goodbye first."
He said goodbye to Mi Zhen very politely, then bowed his hand to the girl behind Mi Zhen, and left in style.
Wang Fu walked gracefully to the verandah, and a man hurriedly ran towards him. He was holding a letter in his hand and whispered something to him. Wang Fu kept his body, as if he was in a hurry, waving his sleeves.
Left in a hurry.
Mi Zhen watched him leave without knowing why, then turned around and said to the girl behind her: "You seem to dislike my Jizi very much?"
"Ji Zi" means brother-in-law in the Han Dynasty. Mi Zhen married into the Wang family for many years and managed the household well, managing the household affairs in an orderly manner, changing from the past roughness when there was no mistress. She also used her excellent business acumen to make the Wang family
With his wealth increasing day by day, he is highly respected by the whole family. Naturally, this includes Wang Fu. Wang Fu is not afraid of someone being harsh with him, but he is afraid that someone will speak smarter than him. Mi Zhen is the kind of person who can barely control him.
of.
The girl was Wu Yi's sister Wu Ran. By chance, she met Mi Zhen on the road. They formed a deep relationship with each other and often visited the house as guests.
"It's because my dog doesn't like him." Wu Ran turned away in disgust and sat down aside.
Mi Zhen, who is now a member of the Wang family, raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't say much. She just thought that Wang Fu had asked her several times about Wu Ran's origins, which must have been intentional. Wu Ran was born in the Chenliu Wu family and had a family name.
For two thousand stones, his family background is not bad, if he can marry Wang Fu...
