The Xia Palace in Licheng County is decorated with lights and everyone is smiling and full of joy. Tomorrow is the day when Princess Shiniang gets married, which makes people in Licheng County feel happy. Dou Jiande specially sent someone to send three to each family.
The kilogram of rice, wrapped in red cloth, won praise from the people of Licheng County, and they all came to the gate of Prince Xia's mansion to congratulate the old prince.
Dou Jiande was even more happy and simply pardoned the prisoners. All prisons in all counties and counties under his jurisdiction were opened to let the prisoners leave. Dou Jiande also wanted to use the joy of marriage to dilute the shadow of Hebei's failure.
Liu Heita also arrived, and he brought three thousand war horses. As a betrothal gift for his son to marry the bride girl, his son Liu Zhi was even more happy, and even dreamed that he was waiting for the moment of the wedding night.
But not everyone is happy about this marriage. Dou Jiande's princess Cao is worried. Cao is not Dou Jiande's original wife, she is the wife Dou Jiande married after falling into trouble.
Cao was also a farmer and was able to endure hardships. He followed Dou Jiande to fight the country, supported her husband to share the money to the soldiers, and ate braised vegetables with Dou Jiande. He was willing to be poor and made great contributions to Dou Jiande's unification of Hebei.
Dou Jiande admires it.
Although Cao has a bad temper and is jealous, she is very kind by nature. She is the kind of woman with a sharp tongue and a slander. She is 40 years old this year and has no children. She raised her mother-in-law.
She gave birth to herself and loved her very much.
Now the stitch is already seventeen years old. When it is time to get married, Cao has also begun to consider finding a good husband for her. Cao wants to find a literary husband for the stitch, because the stitch is a good fight and courage. If
Her husband is also a military general. The couple will live a fight all day long.
But the straight girl didn't like literati and thought they were useless. Dou Jiande didn't like literati as son-in-law. The opposition of the two important figures made Cao lose the possibility of a literati's son-in-law, so she had to turn her attention to the general again.
In fact, it doesn’t matter what kind of person you marry. It’s important to have a good character and a kind heart. You can love your wife. A few months ago, Dou Jiande mentioned that Liu Heita wanted to propose to his son.
Liu Heita grew up with her husband. The two of them were like brothers. It was actually a good thing to become in-laws again, but Cao did not like Liu Zhi very much. Liu Zhi has always been the garrison of the capital. Dou Jiande has been fighting abroad for many years. Liu Zhi
Be responsible for defending the capital.
Dou Jiande didn't know Liu Zhi, but Cao knew him very well. He had a violent personality, murdered people like a scammer, and was very handsome. He often heard him forcibly robbing a girl in the capital. Cao even saw with his own eyes that this man was addicted to drinking.
Ru Ming, if you drink wine, you will use a whip to slap people. It often happens when you fight with others, and if you have any quarrels, you will use a knife to kill people. Wouldn't the stubborn girl marrying such a person for the rest of her life?
Cao is a woman. She knows very well what marriage means to a woman. She strongly opposes this marriage, but her husband is determined to marry the wizard girl to that calf. Cao no longer knows what to do.
How do you persuade your husband?
Seeing that tomorrow was the day for the wife of the straight man to get married, Cao was so anxious that he was restless in the house of the royal palace. At this time, a maid came to report, "Princess, Mrs. Liu is here."
Mrs. Liu is Liu Heita's wife, surnamed Hao, and she is not Liu Heita's original wife. His original wife has died in the prison of the government. Hao is the new wife Liu Heita married in Douzigang, and Hao Xiaode's.
My sister is also an extremely powerful woman who has practiced martial arts.
Cao did not want to see this Mrs. Hao at this time, but out of politeness, she had to see her, so she had to resist displeasure and said, "Please invite her in!"
A moment of heavy footsteps came, making people worry for the shoemaker. Then a harsh laughter like a thorny noise came, "Sister Cao, tomorrow is the day for our two families, let's come first.
congratulate!"
Immediately afterwards, an extremely strong aroma of powder gushed into the house, and the maid standing next to him was almost fainted. What's so bad is that there was a smell of mutton in the aroma of powder, and even Cao had to
Hold your breath.
A woman in a red dress and green dress rolled in like a gust of wind, and she was Liu Heita's wife, Mrs. Hao.
Mrs. Hao is about thirty years old and looks very masculine. In other words, if she is not dressed as a woman, she will easily regard her as a man. She is tall, has thick eyebrows and deep eyes, and has a contour on her face.
distinct.
But she dressed up as a woman, with a high bun, her hair was covered with gold, silver, pearls and jade. The color of her hair was no longer visible. The pink on her face was at least half an inch thick, just like a brush with lime in the old house
Even if the wall passed by is white, the potholes on it are still clearly visible.
Her lips were painted brightly red, as red as a burning fire, so dazzling that she dared not look at it too much, for fear of angering her and being swallowed by her in one bite.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Cao didn't want to see her. She was afraid that she would not dare to sleep at night.
"Mrs. Hao is so happy."
Cao forced a smile, "Madam, please sit down!"
Mrs. Hao did not kneel like an ordinary woman, but sat cross-legged, and her two big bare legs sat cross-legged on the cold couch, and her long skirt swayed to both sides to cover the bottom.
Cao gave the maid a wink and asked her to pour tea, but Mrs. Hao waved her hand, "Don't pour tea anymore. The family is very busy preparing for the wedding and has to set up a wedding chamber. I will tell you a long story and leave after saying a few words."
"Madam, please tell me!" Cao said with a reluctant smile.
"I'm here to give my daughter-in-law a gift, which is something I have to do as a mother-in-law."
Mrs. Hao was holding an ivory box in her arms, which made people feel that it should be filled with precious jewelry. As a mother-in-law, it is normal for her to give her some private gifts first.
"Madam, you're so kind."
"You're welcome, I said this is a must-do."
Mrs. Hao put the ivory box on the table and opened it. Cao was stunned for a moment. There was no jewelry inside, but a thick booklet.
"Madam, this is..." Cao asked in confusion.
Mrs. Hao stretched her face and said, "This is the rule of the Liu family, and it is also my rule. There are 108 rules in total. Let the stitches take a good look tonight. I don't want her to be special. I hope she will marry her.
Strictly abide by the rules of the Liu family, otherwise, don’t blame my family for being ruthless.”
After saying that, she stood up and said goodbye. She left like a gust of wind, which shocked Cao. After a while, she slowly picked up the booklet. It turned out to be a long hard banner, folded together and pulled apart.
Four feet long, with small characters written on it. From the first to the first one.
Cao looked out the window, as if she was making a major decision. She thought for a long time and finally made up her mind, stood up and walked quickly towards the East Courtyard...
Dou Xianniang was locked in an empty room in the East Courtyard. This is where Dou Jiande interrogated the traitor. There was a small window. It was filled with iron bars as thick as a thumb. The door was an iron door, and the surrounding walls were made of bluestone.
, there is no way to escape.
The light in the room was very dark, with only one wooden couch, and Dou Xianniang sat on the wooden couch, her eyes firm and calm. Although tomorrow was her happy day, she would rather kill that man than be with him.
The bed is pillowed.
For two days, Dou Jiande would come to persuade her every day. She had only one answer, 'My father would not use me for profit exchange.'
The implication is that she no longer admits that Dou Jiande is her father, and she keeps saying that she loves her, but in the end she uses her life's happiness to exchange military power. This is not something a father would do.
Dou Xianniang hated Liu Zhi very much, the man who had killed countless women and children. She could not allow him to become her husband no matter what, she would kill him with one knife.
Dou Xianniang is already seventeen years old and has reached the age of Sichun. Like a girl of the same age, she also hopes to marry a man she loves and a heroic man, and she also longs for this person to appear in her life.
As her identity, I don’t know how many people are interested in her, but no man can be noticed by her and can enter her heart.
Actually... not, a man appeared in her life, his image was deeply engraved in her mind. He returned the horse and weapons to himself, turned around and left without hesitation.
Her tall and burly body, her deep personality, and her majestic posture that commanded thousands of horses and thousands of troops. She knew that his name was Luo Shixin, who was from Licheng County, was their enemy, but... she could no longer control him.
The figure was driven away from her heart. As time went by, she had been to Luo Shixin's former residence more than once and had taken care of his relatives who remained in Licheng County.
Dou Xianniang sighed softly.
At this time, the voice of the guard soldiers outside the Iron Gate said, "See the Princess!"
"You guys retreat first, I want to say a few words to the stitcher."
"Yes!" The soldiers all retreated.
Dou Xianniang didn't move. Tomorrow was the day of marriage. Will my aunt come to persuade her? Although my aunt was very nice to her, the ruthlessness of her uncle Dou Jiande gradually faded her favor for her aunt.
"Xian Niang, are you here?" Cao's anxious voice came from outside the door.
Dou Xianniang said coldly: "Auntie, if you come to persuade me too, then you will go back!"
"Oh! I'm not urging you, I'll give you the same, take it."
In the dim light, something was handed in through the crack of the door, which was a black ruler-shaped object. Dou Xianniang hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, heavy, wrapped in black cloth.
"Free girl, go! The farther you leave here, the better."
"Auntie!" Dou Xianniang's eyes felt sore and tears rolled out.
Cao's eyes also turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Child, take care of yourself! Auntie is gone."
She turned around and ran away. Dou Xianniang felt sad. She slowly opened the cloth bag and was stunned for a moment. Her eyes were flashing with excitement. Hei Buli turned out to be Dou Jiande's favorite short sword, the ice sword.
, can cut iron like mud.
Dou Xianniang turned around and her eyes fell on several iron bars in the small window...
The night was about to fall, and darkness enveloped Licheng County. The time for the city gate to close was about to come. Several soldiers guarding the gate yawned, and the lazy spirit walked towards the city without any energy.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance. The soldiers were stunned and turned their heads to look intently. As the sound of horse hooves became closer, they saw clearly that it was a woman wearing a hat and covering her whole body.
It was wrapped tightly, with only two eyes exposed, with particularly bright eyes, and her war horse seemed to be very familiar with it.
"Stop! Who is it?" the soldiers shouted.
The woman suddenly set off her bow and arrow and aimed it at the soldiers. The soldiers were so scared that they hugged their heads and squatted down. Taking advantage of this moment of dazedness, the woman rode out of the city.
The arrows did not shoot, and the soldiers looked at each other. One soldier suddenly reacted, "Isn't that the princess's war horse?"
More than a dozen soldiers guarding the city immediately understood that the princess ran away from marriage.
"Shh--"
Everyone shrewd and whispered: "We didn't see anything, let the princess run away."
Dou Xianniang ran out of the city. She took out a ingot of gold from the horse bag and looked at it. A ray of tenderness appeared in her eyes. This was the gold he gave herself to her. She put the gold back into the bag and sucked it hard.
