After dozens of days and nights of embroidery, Sun Yijin finally learned to embroider, and her embroidery skills have surpassed that of Madam He, and her eldest brother Sun Junze is about to arrive in the capital.
Originally, all this was very beautiful, but at this time, Sun Yijin was sitting on a small wooden chair by the door of Sun Mansion, learning embroidery, and there seemed to be no trace of joy on her face.
Pricking and pricking, a thin needle pricked her white and tender little finger, and bright red blood flowed out. Sun Yijin hurriedly pressed the bleeding finger with one hand. She was only a teenager and did not cry. He looked helplessly towards the street.
Looking at it, a Sun Mansion carriage was coming this way. Sun Yijin was so excited that she seemed to have forgotten everything. She stood up hurriedly and stood at the door, staring at the moving carriage with a pair of watery eyes. She was wearing a The green coat skirt was blowing gently in the breeze.
"Hush!"
A scream sounded in front of the Sun Mansion, and then the carriage stopped and got off.
After hearing the sound, the two ladies of the Sun Mansion and their second son, Sun Luolin, hurried out to greet him.
Soon, the door curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a man with a fair face and a thin body came out.
"Big brother!" Sun Yijin shouted with sweet words.
Sun Junze smiled slightly, looked at his sister at first glance, and said, "Sister." Then, Sun Junze walked down holding a mahogany box behind him.
"Brother, where's the gift?" Sun Yijin asked happily.
After hearing this, Sun Junze smiled slightly: "I thought you forgot, but I didn't expect you remembered it so clearly." After saying that, Sun Junze moved the mahogany box to the front and handed it to his sister Sun Yijin: "Open it quickly and see what it is."
After taking it, Sun Yijin carefully opened the mahogany box. Inside was a large, round pearl, which shone brightly in the sunlight and was very translucent inside and out.
As she watched, Sun Yijin thought of her own affairs and the care her elder brother had taken for her. Unconsciously, Sun Yijin's face lost any joy, as if she was possessed by a demon.
After Sun Junze saw this, he hurriedly asked: "Sister, what's wrong? Don't you like it?"
Yijin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled reluctantly: "I like it."
After hearing this, Yijin's mother said, "Yijin, thank you quickly, big brother."
"Thank you, big brother." Yijin said obediently.
"You're welcome." After finishing, Sun Junze looked at his mother and Mr. Ma, and said hello: "Mother, little mother."
The two ladies smiled and nodded.
"Junze, come here, let me take a good look at it." Madam He looked at her eldest son.
Looking at the face that has become much darker, and then looking at the body that has become much thinner, I muttered: "I have lost weight."
After speaking, looking at the scene outside the mansion, He said: "Junze, Luolin, Yijin, go in and talk."
Following Mrs. He's footsteps, Sun Junze walked into the home. As he walked, he looked at Sun Yijin. Sun Junze seemed to notice something strange.
After several people sat down in the courtyard, Su Junze asked: "Mother, little mother, why is Yijin unhappy?"
After hearing this, Mrs. He glanced at Mrs. Ma, the second wife. After the two looked at each other, Mrs. He told the truth. Sooner or later, she couldn't hide it anyway.
"Yi Jin, we have an engagement with the Liu family. We will get married on the 15th of next month." Mrs. He said helplessly.
Listening to his mother's words, Sun Junze couldn't bear it anymore. After all, he had always looked up to his sister since he was a child, so he was very reluctant to marry her like this.
"How is it possible? Which Liu family? How is the family?" Sun Junze asked repeatedly in excitement.
"Junze, this is not my mother's idea, nor is it my master's idea. If it were not so, it would be difficult for your father to trust anyone on official business, let alone help. This move is to protect my Sun family, and more It's to avenge your sister." As she spoke, Mrs. He burst into tears.
"Which Liu family?"
"My colleague, Liu Zeheng, the fourth son of the fifth-rank scholar Liu."
After roughly understanding it, Sun Junze seemed to be relieved. It was okay for him to have a fifth-grade family.
After thinking about it, looking at his sister Sun Yijin on the side, Sun Junze asked: "Sister, do you really want to marry that Liu Zeheng?"
Yijin nodded and said: "As long as I can avenge my sister and eliminate the bad guys, I am willing."
"Can you...can you meet Liu Zeheng?" Jun Ze said.
Yijin shook her head, and then looked at the eldest lady and her mother-in-law, Ma.
Thinking that his sister Yijin had not yet met Liu Zeheng, and thinking about his sister's lifelong events, Junze finally asked his mother and his wife for something: "Mom, my wife, I want to take my sister to meet Liu Zeheng. I hope my aunt and my little bitch will agree."
After listening to Junze's request, the first lady and the second lady looked at each other again.
After seeing the second lady, Ma, nodding, He just agreed: "Go ahead, it's okay to get to know each other, but don't cause trouble."
"Thank you, mother, I agree." After saying that, Junze took the hand of Yijin, who was only fourteen years old, and walked towards that house.
In Yijin's memory, happiness is nothing more than holding hands with her eldest brother Sun Junze, playing around and eating all kinds of delicious food.
"Please inform me that we are looking for the fourth young master Liu Zeheng." Sun Junze said.
Looking at the two people he had never met before, a guard continued: "Who are you?"
"We are from the Sun Mansion. This is Sun Yijin who is engaged to Liu Zeheng of your manor. This is Sun Junze, the eldest son of the Sun Mansion."
After hearing this, the attitude of the two guards immediately changed. They smiled and became respectful: "Wait a moment, you two. The younger one will go back and report to the Fourth Young Master."
"Okay." Jun Ze responded and waited with Yi Jin.
"Fourth Young Master, the Eldest Young Master of the Sun Mansion and Sun Yijin of the Sun Mansion are waiting outside the mansion at the moment, saying they want to see you, Young Master." the guard reported.
After hearing this, the fourth young master, who was immersed in reading, raised his head.
I saw that the fourth young master had his hair tied up and a white face. He looked cute but also had a lot of handsomeness.
"See."
"yes."
Afterwards, the guard hurried to the door of Liu Mansion, looked at Sun Junze and Sun Yijin who were waiting, and said respectfully: "My fourth young master invites you."
"Let's go." Sun Junze glanced at his sister Yijin.
Yijin nodded and followed her brother Sun Junze in.
Although this mansion is a mansion, it is much larger than the Sun Mansion, but it seems that there are many more servants than the Sun Mansion in my own family.
"Master, Miss Sun and Master Sun are here."
After hearing this, the fourth young master Liu Zeheng raised his head and looked towards the two of them.
When Yijin saw Liu Zeheng's handsome face with her clear eyes, she was so shy that she almost hid behind her brother Sun Junze.
The sensible fourth young master also stood up in a hurry and looked at his servants: "Let me show you your seats."
"yes."
After sitting down, Sun Junze began to speak.
"Looking at how eager to learn Mr. Ling is, I wonder where Mr. Ling passed in the children's examination and the rural examination?" Sun Junze said.
After hearing this, Liu Zeheng looked calm and replied: "I have passed the child examination, and I am planning to prepare for the provincial examination. Where is Mr. Ling?"
Sun Junze smiled slightly and said: "It hasn't been long since the examination, no, the palace examination is coming soon."
After Sun Junze said that, the room became cold for a long time.
It took a long time for him to speak, but it was Sun Junze who spoke.
"Master Ling, do you really admire my sister?" Sun Junze asked.
This question made Liu Zeheng a little shy, as if he didn't know how to answer it.
"I will naturally obey my father's words," Liu Zeheng said.
"Then, what if there is no intention from your father?"
"I don't know." After saying that, Liu Zeheng sat down, took a sip of tea, and continued to read with the book.
Seeing that he couldn't talk to the fourth young master of the Liu family, Sun Junze had to find an excuse to leave: "Today, my sister said that she wanted to see the true appearance of Mr. Ling, so I brought her here. Seeing that Mr. Ling is busy, then I My sister and I will take our leave now, sorry for bothering me."
After saying that, Sun Junze took his sister's hand and headed home. . .
At night, when dusk fell, the Sun family was sitting in the dining hall eating food, but Sun Junze seemed to have no appetite to eat.
This scene happened to be seen by Mr. Sun Sun Zhicai.
"Why, the food just came back is not to your liking?" Sun Zhicai asked while eating the food.
After thinking about it, Sun Junze finally said: "Dad, I think Liu Zeheng, the fourth young master of the Liu family, is not good to us Yijin at all."
"We have never met, how do you know it's not good?" Sun Zhicai asked.
"I took my sister to see Liu Zeheng today," Jun Ze said.
After hearing this, Sun Zhicai glanced at Mrs. He and Mr. Ma, and continued to ask Sun Junze: "What's wrong?"
Junze began to recall, and while recalling, he said: "He didn't like to talk, and he didn't seem to care about Yijin. He said that the marriage was decided by his father, and he naturally obeyed."
"It's okay. He's only seventeen or eighteen years old. He's younger than you, so he's naturally shy. He'll get better as time goes by."
"Dad, is this your idea?" Junze said.
"Yes. But dad didn't force Yijin, he just followed her opinion. This move is also the first step in my Sun family's revenge." Sun Zhicai said with a helpless look.
"Father, revenge is inevitable, but you don't necessarily need to sacrifice your own children, right? There aren't many ways to take revenge?" Junze asked with a questioning look on his face.
"You are still young and do not understand officialdom. When you enter officialdom for more than ten or even decades, maybe you will not speak to your father in this tone now."
Seeing that his younger sister was about to get married, Junze didn't understand very much and was very afraid of the same fate as his eldest sister. He spoke bluntly: "When eldest sister was still alive, I remember you said that this would allow you to establish your authority in the officialdom and protect the Sun family's life. Peace, but you know what the outcome will be, right?" Junze said.
After hearing this, his mother, He, hurriedly scolded Junze: "Junze! Don't talk to your father like this!"
After hearing this, Sun Zhicai felt regretful. He had not expected that such a scene would happen. If everything goes well, the Sun family today may be the most prestigious in the entire Yanyang City.
"In that case, if you pass the first prize in the palace examination, you will have the final say on Yijin's affairs!" After saying that, Sun Zhicai put down the bowl and chopsticks and went to the study.
"Master!" He said.
"Okay!" Junze said.
Seeing that Junze made the master angry, He, as the biological mother, wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.
