Chapter 1

In the 22nd year of emperor Jianwu's accession to the throne, the new year has passed, but it's still very cold outside. It's been a long and gloomy winter. It's already February, and the weather is not warming at all.

It snowed again at midnight yesterday. Early this morning, the whole capital was white, with red walls, blue tiles and jade towers. In Yichun Marquis's mansion in the east of the city, a woman in a gray brown fur coat came running to Jinning courtyard. She strode across the threshold, supported herself on the porch pillar and breathed. Then she called out in a hurry: "big girl, it's not a good thing!"

A maid with a tight bun lifted the curtain and came out. She looked fifteen or sixteen years old. It was the best time for the girl. However, she was still in the middle of the morning howling. I didn't see the girl in it

"Oh, my Forsythia sister, I have something to tell you." Mrs. Zheng yelled and said, "girl, it's not a big deal!"

The rules in the big girl's room are very strict. Generally, the maid and the old woman can only move in the yard. Only the second-class maid can enter the room, while the living room of the big girl can only be entered by the first-class maid who is close to her. As soon as Xiao entered the yard, she had many rules. Now when Lianqiao saw that Mrs. Zheng was about to enter the house, she was so angry that she quickly blocked the door and said, "are there any rules! Is the girl's room accessible to you? "

Forsythia is the girl's first-class face, usually in the yard is very powerful, even Zheng did not dare to offend the little pepper. But today, I don't know what happened. Mrs. Zheng dared to fight with forsythia. She pushed her arm and said, "Oh, Miss forsythia, I really have something important..."

"Forsythia suspensa."

When Forsythia heard the voice, she immediately regained her prestige. Even the noisy Mrs. Zheng also calmed down and knelt down to the door: "big girl, I really have something important to report."

The house is full of flowers and brocade, warm as spring, and full of wealth. After a while, the maid came out wearing a lotus coat and opened her eyes

"Oh, yes!"

Mrs. Zheng busily went through Duobao Pavilion and the bright curtain. This is the first time for her to enter the place where the big girl gets up and lies. Mrs. Zheng is dazzled by the rich brocade on both sides. She vaguely sees a beautiful profile. Mrs. Zheng does not dare to see it again. She kneels down quickly: "big girl."

"Go ahead." The other side is just a profile, which is very good-looking. Now even the voice is like the collision of jade beads, which is very beautiful, "what's the matter?"

Zheng's mother-in-law suddenly had a strange feeling. She had just heard the news, and her eyes were about to fall. She couldn't care about the snow all the way and ran back to tell the girl. The news has not yet spread, and the big girl will not have eyes and ears. Today, the big girl has not gone out, so she will never know about the front yard.

But listen to the tone of the big girl Mrs. Zheng always has a sense of absurdity. How does she feel that the big girl seems to have known?

"Girl, Jingyong Marquis's house, it's time to leave!"

Cheng Yujin motionless, looking at the delicate and beautiful in the mirror, perfect as fine brushwork general eyebrows, slowly smile out.

Sure enough, he came to leave.

This news can be described as a thunderbolt. The eldest girl just got engaged with Jingyong marquis in December last year. It's only a year later. Why did she suddenly want to retire? Let's not say that the actions of Jingyong Marquis's house are absurd. It's enough to be thrilled to just withdraw the marriage.

For a woman, even if it is caused by the man, the consequences are devastating for the woman. I'm afraid it will be hard to find a good wife in the future.

Mrs. Zheng was frightened by the news all morning. After she said it, she thought the girl would be shocked. However, after waiting for a long time, she only saw the girl smiling gently and slowly in the mirror.

Forsythia, Du Ruo and other people did not expect this kind of thing, they were stunned on the spot, wait to slow down, quickly cried: "girl! This, this... "

Forsythia quickly asked Mrs. Zheng: "did you hear me wrong? I don't think you want to live in front of a girl

Mrs. Zheng is full of grievances and has no place to say. However, without waiting for her to say anything, another person came to her rescue: "there will be no mistake."

"Girl?"

Cheng Yujin buckles the mirror. Her eyes are like a picture. When she doesn't smile, she is more beautiful and dazzling. Cheng Yujin looks at the snow outside the window, her eyes are quiet, but it seems to contain indescribable irony: "he really came."

Cheng Yujin is the eldest lady of Yichun Marquis's mansion. Her mother is Princess Qingfu, the daughter of King Ning, and her father is the son of Yichun marquis. As the eldest daughter of Hou's house, it's no exaggeration for her to say that she landed with a golden spoon.

Just like her name, Cheng Yujin grew up as someone else's daughter. She was enlightened at the age of seven, proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, skilled in needlework and needlework, filial and obedient. She is a model girl. The girls in other prefectures are mentioned by their mother every day, and they feel disgusted when they hear Cheng Yujin's name.

If you follow the wind and water for too long, you will be considered fake. Someone is waiting behind her back to see what kind of family Cheng Yujin has decided and whether she can show off all the time.I didn't expect that. I can.

Cheng Yujin followed her mother to Wenquan villa last December. King Ning's fiefdom is in the south of the Yangtze River. Princess Qingfu has been married to the capital for so many years, but she is still not used to the winter in the capital. Princess Qingfu has a Chuang Tzu in her name, which has a special hot spring eye. Qingfu Princess go out, sister-in-law is not good to follow, little girls can follow.

Cheng Yujin, the eldest daughter of Princess Qingfu, was the first one to accompany her. I didn't expect that after moving to Xishan, it snowed heavily for three days in March in the capital. The mountain road was closed, and the women's families couldn't get down for a while.

Princess Qingfu had already sent slaves down the mountain to report them. Just wait in Zhuangzi for Qinglu of Houfu in Yichun to pick them up. Princess Qingfu is still enjoying the hot spring leisurely, but Cheng Yujin finds that her second sister is missing.

Cheng Yumo, the second younger sister, is the only daughter of Er Fang. She is treated as a sore eye by the second master and Ruan. It's very important for her to get lost in Zhuangzi of Da Fang. It's about her daughter's integrity. Cheng Yujin doesn't dare to say so. She secretly sends her mother-in-law to guard the intersection, and asks Forsythia to ask where Cheng Yumo went in the evening.

Unexpectedly, after one night, Cheng Yumo still didn't come back. Cheng Yujin knew that the matter was serious. She didn't dare to trust her, so she went to report it to Princess Qingfu early the next morning. Qingfu princess also startled, she has no feeling to the second room, but the second room's daughter lost in her territory, after all, Qingfu can't explain. Cheng Yujin had checked Chuang Tzu yesterday, so Princess Qingfu had to send someone to look for him on the mountain.

Cheng Yujin asks Cheng Yumo's servant girls, and finds out that their girls see snow poetry flourishing in the evening, so they go out to enjoy the snow. They don't know how to get lost. When Cheng Yujin heard that she was angry, she immediately took her mother-in-law and went to find Cheng Yumo in person according to the way the maid said.

The back mountain is so big, and it's snowing that they can't identify the direction. They walk very hard. It's impossible to find the whole mountain at this speed. They had to search separately. Cheng Yujin took Du Ruo for a while and found a cave at the tip of her eyes.

There are caves, holes and shelter, so there must be someone here! Cheng Yujin rushes over, but instead of finding Cheng Yumo, she finds a comatose man.

In fact, according to Cheng Yujin's temperament, she doesn't want to pay attention to the unknown foreigner. What's the matter with him? But thanks to Cheng Yujin's sharp eyes, she saw a private seal on the man.

Huo Changyuan, the northwest guard house.

Huo Changyuan? The most famous ever victorious general in the court, the youngest Marquis of the Qi Dynasty, Jingyong, Huo Changyuan?

Good. Cheng Yujin decided to save him.

Cheng Yujin asks Du Ruo to flatten Huo Changyuan's body. The man's body is heavy. If Du Ruo is too busy, Cheng Yujin squats down to help him. When she was holding Huo Changyuan's arm, he woke up in a daze. Huo Changyuan felt someone around him. He tried his best to open his eyes. In the half dark, he saw a beautiful and exquisite woman leaning by his side, bright and gorgeous.

"It's you?"

Cheng Yujin didn't understand why she was the only one in front of her and asked "it's you.". It's not her. Can it be a ghost?

Of course, Cheng Yujin, as the benchmark of Beijing ladies, naturally would not say so. She nodded slightly and gave Huo Changyuan a slight smile: "don't be afraid, marquis. I'm the granddaughter of the marquis in Yichun. My mother's Chuang Tzu is not far away. Just wait. I'll send someone to carry you

Huo Changyuan seemed relieved. At last, he took a deep look at her and fainted.

When she finally waited for the person to come to meet her, the little boy carried the stretcher and said, "elder girl, the second girl has been found. The princess calls you back

Did Cheng Yumo find it? It couldn't be better. She didn't want to risk the cold air to install her sister outside.

Huo Changyuan fell asleep for three days in Princess Qingfu's Chuang Tzu. During this period, he woke up and fell asleep. There was not much time to wake up. As unmarried women, they can't go to the outer men's room. Fortunately, the mountain road is soon cleared, and the people of Jingyong Marquis's house take Huo Changyuan away.

Thanks to the help of Marquis Jingyong's house, the mountain road can be opened to traffic so quickly. Sure enough, xungui, who started his career on the merits of war, is not the same as them. If you let the Hou family of Yichun come, oh, you can wait.

Cheng Yujin went out on a trip to save a person, back to the house, old lady Cheng Haosheng praised again. Old lady Cheng, Princess Qingfu, including Cheng Yujin, have tacit understanding. Should the Jingyong Marquis's house express such great kindness?

Sure enough, it didn't take long for old lady Jingyong and Huo Changyuan's mother Huo Xueshi to come to the door in person and thank Cheng Yujin for her help. The thanks from the Huo family are more generous than Cheng Yujin imagined. Of course, what makes her most satisfied is the engagement that Huo Xueshi brought together.

Huo Changyuan is grateful to Cheng Yujin for saving her life and wants to employ her as a wife.

Old lady Cheng was laughing all the time. Princess Qingfu and Cheng Yujin always have a good face, but Princess Qingfu is also happy to see her daughter who has been keeping her name for many years. The Marquis's mansion in Yichun is in full bloom, but the Marquis's mansion always needs to have face. The elders want to make it clear that they want to ask the girl's opinion.

Ask Cheng Yujin? Cheng Yujin, of course she would. In fact, this is her real purpose of saving Huo Changyuan.At the end of the twenty-first year of Jianwu, the Marquis's residence in Yichun was immersed in great joy. An empty shelf Marquis's residence was built up with the most promising and the youngest newly rich marquis in the court. It can be said that the whole family was jubilant. Mrs. Cheng repeatedly said that she had not raised Cheng Yujin in vain these years.

Cheng Yujin has completed the most important investment in her life. Without any accident, her wealth and prosperity for the rest of her life are guaranteed. Cheng Yujin was satisfied and never left home. She was at home to prepare the dowry.

At that time, there was too much noise around Cheng Yujin. She didn't notice that Cheng Yumo was depressed after he came back from the villa, and a disease lasted for a long time. She also did not notice that the Huo family's engagement attitude was too eager. Even if you repay your kindness, it's not necessarily the only way to marry her.

Unfortunately, she didn't notice.

According to the truth, all the dust has settled, but since February, Cheng Yujin began to worry about everything for no reason. She couldn't even sleep. Last night, she had a long dream.

Cheng Yujin was suddenly awakened in the fifth night, sweating and unable to sleep. She has been lying in bed for a long time. It's just a dream. It's ridiculous to take it seriously. But Cheng Yujin felt inexplicably that this was not a joke. It's true.

She saw herself in a dream, but not entirely herself. Like a puppet, she was carried with the thread and experienced the life of "Cheng Yujin" from the beginning.

In her dream, she was also born in Yichun Marquis's house where Baiyu worked as a horse for Tangjin. Ruan, the second wife of Yichun Marquis's mansion, gave birth to twin sisters. At this time, the eldest wife, Princess Qingfu, came into the house for nearly five years and had no children. On the contrary, Ruan's new daughter-in-law held two in one year. Although they are only a couple of girls, they are the first children of the Cheng family's grandchildren, Jili. Therefore, Mrs. Cheng takes the elder sister of the twins to her eldest daughter-in-law, Princess Qingfu.

Later, the two children were named Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo.

Cheng Yujin knew that she and her second cousin were siblings when she was very young, but she also knew that Ruan was her second aunt and her only mother was Princess Qingfu.

Only princess Qingfu.

Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo looked like each other when they were young. As they grew up, their facial features opened up, and the gap between the two sisters also revealed. Cheng Yujin has better health, more beautiful facial features and more quiet personality. On the contrary, it is Cheng Yumo, because twins are weaker than ordinary children, and Cheng Yumo is still born later, which makes him more fragile and slender, even with thin eyebrows and eyes.

Not to mention old lady Cheng and Princess Qingfu, they are just maidservants who have been waiting for a long time in Cheng's family. They can see the difference between the eldest and the second girls at a glance. But for outsiders, who will look at the facial features carefully? The sisters in Tongfu are similar in appearance. In addition, they are the same age and the little girls are similar in dress, so they are often confused.

Cheng Yujin grew up to 14 years old in her daily explanation of "I'm Yujin, a big girl.".

This winter, she saved a man in the heavy snow. The next year, she married the man.

This man's name is Huo Changyuan.

On the wedding day, Cheng Yujin married Huo Changyuan with a red makeup of ten li. Her sisters all envy her for marrying a good husband. Huo Changyuan is young and has become the Lord of marquis. Cheng Yujin is the wife of marquis as soon as she passes by. She has lived at least 20 years less than other women. In addition, Huo Changyuan just made military contributions in Northwest China last year. He is in the limelight and has an unlimited future. He is also brave, handsome, strong and straight. Such a good husband was caught by Cheng Yujin. He was really angry.

At that time, Cheng Yujin did not know that she had become the villain in other people's stories without knowing it.

After marriage, Cheng Yujin and Huo Changyuan's life is roughly as she expected, but her mother-in-law is a little difficult to deal with, her husband is too far away from the manager, and the Huo family's rules are too big. In those years, outsiders watched Cheng Yujin with flowers and brocade, and the scenery was boundless. Only she knew how hard it was to close the door. But it's nothing. Every woman has to go through this stage. She doesn't have to wait on her mother-in-law. She has the right to be a housekeeper, which is better than most women.

The year after her marriage, she finally got pregnant. When Huo Changyuan was seven years old, his father died and Huo Xue was a widow. All these years, Huo Xue's family has been struggling to bring Huo Changyuan up. Mother and son depend on each other. Huo Xue's family has an extraordinary possessive desire for her son. Ever since Cheng Yujin came in, Huo Xueshi has been treating Cheng Yujin coldly and feverishly, trying to break up their time together. Cheng Yujin had no choice but to follow her mother-in-law's advice and stop making out with her husband.

The funny thing is that Huo Xueshi doesn't let them get close to each other, but forces Cheng Yujin to have a grandson. Cheng Yujin is full of bitterness, but she can't say it. So the second year after her marriage, when the child arrived, you can imagine how happy she was.

She immediately gave up the right to take care of the baby. Because the boudoir is bored, she also picked up her sister from her mother's home. Cheng Yujin was not close to Huo Changyuan before. Now she is pregnant, and she won't let him touch her body. During that time, Huo Changyuan was at home. Cheng Yumo came to talk to her every day. Cheng Yujin felt her tummy becoming more and more round. She only felt that her children, husband and sister were all around. It was really a quiet time, and she had no regrets.

However, the face of the servant girl beside her became more and more strange. Du Ruo wanted to talk for several times and stopped. Seeing Cheng Yujin's happy expression, he was not willing to say it after all. But Cheng Yujin is not a fool after all. She realized that it was not right. She pressed her maid carefully to know that when she was sleeping and raising her baby, Huo Changyuan often talked and laughed with Cheng Yumo and behaved intimately.Like a thunderbolt on a clear day, Cheng Yujin stood there. She ridiculed herself, wasted your claim to be a perfect girl, and made such a ridiculous mistake. Cheng Yujin only thinks that she is lack of energy and can't watch it from time to time. That's why Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo have more opportunities to get along with each other and commit this kind of scandal. One is her husband and the other is her sister. Cheng Yumo doesn't want to embarrass both sides.

So when Huo Changyuan went to the barracks to train soldiers, she asked Cheng Yumo to come in and said a lot. She thinks that she has saved face for both sides, but a sensible girl must understand. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yumo understood, but he ran away crying, thinking that he was humiliated by Cheng Yujin.

Cheng Yujin was angry and ignored her. On the same day, Cheng Yumo drove home. Huo Xueshi sent someone to ask. Cheng Yujin just laughed and carelessly left Cheng Yumo and Huo Changyuan the last trace of face.

She thought that a wife and sister to do so, it is benevolent, she waited for Huo Changyuan back to give her a statement. Huo Changyuan came back from the barracks. When he heard that Cheng Yumo had left, he immediately turned to chase him. He left Cheng Yujin standing alone in the room, facing a lot of servants. For a long time, he didn't know how to react.

When Huo Changyuan came back, he gave her a cold look and said that she was a "poisonous woman". Cheng Yujin didn't understand until she died. She took care of Huo Changyuan's family affairs and endured her difficult mother-in-law, but Huo Changyuan secretly gave and accepted her and his sister behind her back. Where is she? What's wrong with her?

Cheng Yujin started early in the depression and gave birth to premature and dystocia. After giving birth to the child, Huo Xue is busy going to see her grandson. She doesn't care about Cheng Yujin lying on the delivery bed. Cheng Yujin was bleeding heavily that day and soon died.

She died in the dream, and Cheng Yujin finally broke away from the nightmare like state. But her soul can't get away, still floating in Jingyong Marquis's house, watching the story continue to develop.

It turns out that from another angle, the story is like this.
