I don’t know what Marquis Yongyi told the palace. In short, within three days, the palace issued an imperial decree granting marriage. The imperial decree clearly pointed out Zhao Ruolan, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, to the third prince Song Rui. .
At the same time, in order to show his respect for Zhao Ruolan and benefit his family, he gave Zhao Zhilan and General Gu a marriage decree. The two imperial edicts clearly identified the people to be married and set the date for the marriage.
Zhao Ruolan was the elder and got married first. Probably to compensate her, the dowry prepared by Zhao Li was three points more generous than before.
The night before the wedding, Zhao Zhilan came to visit Zhao Ruolan. She still looked innocent, with some satisfaction of having her wish fulfilled on her face, her face was rosy, and her eyes were shining. She saluted Zhao Ruolan when she entered the door: "Thank you, sister."
Zhao Ruolan stared at her for a while, making Zhao Zhilan feel a little uneasy. She twisted her body and said, "I know sister is reluctant, and she must be resenting me at the moment, but sister, I must have told you that my father has told you , if I marry the third prince, not only myself, but our whole family will probably lose their lives..."
Zhao Ruolan interrupted her: "You and General Gu are together, who took the initiative?"
Zhao Ruolan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Zhao Ruolan was concerned about this matter now, but now there was no need to hide it, so she whispered: "It's me. When I went out to play last year... I was taken care of..." The general saved me, and I have fallen in love with General Gu ever since, but sister, believe me, I didn’t have any intention of competing with you at the beginning, I was just thinking, thinking..."
Her voice became lower and lower, her face turned red, even her neck was red. Looking at her so shyly, Zhao Ruolan felt even colder in her heart.
"But I didn't expect that I would be noticed by the Queen and pointed out to the Third Prince. The Third Prince is not an ordinary person. If he finds me... he will not forgive me easily..." Zhao Zhilan's voice was like a mosquito. She originally I just thought that the spring breeze would be a waste of my friendship. In the future, if I marry an ordinary person, with the support of Marquis Yongyi, my mother can help me find a way to get over it. As for this matter, God only knows that she knows it. General Gu knew.
Zhao Ruolan twitched her lips, not knowing whether to laugh at Zhao Zhilan's innocence or her own stupidity.
"You are affectionate and righteous, but when you didn't waste your friendship, why didn't you think that he was your future brother-in-law?" Zhao Ruolan said softly. In the final analysis, you still have no shame. Otherwise, how could you know General Gu's behavior? When you have no identity, can you still think about the spring breeze? Those who truly know shame, no matter how much they like it, should consider their face and bury it deep in their hearts.
Those four words were spoken like a gust of wind, fluttering, but Zhao Zhilan still heard it. Her face instantly turned pale, and she looked at Zhao Ruolan blankly, as if she didn't expect that her sister, who had always loved her, could actually say this about herself.
Zhao Ruolan stared at her: "I'll give you what you want. From now on, the two of us will sever ties and we will no longer be sisters. From now on, you will take your Yangguan Road and I will cross my single-plank bridge. The water in the well will not interfere with the water in the river." , if you fall into my hands again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhao Zhilan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't speak anymore.
After a long time, she smiled bitterly with a pale face: "I know what I did was wrong. I can't help my sister. I deserve it if my sister resents me. I just have to live with it. My sister said she doesn't want to see me in the future, so I don't. I understand, but please rest assured, sister, I will never see her again from now on."
After saying that, she saluted Zhao Ruolan, turned around and walked out of the room.
Zhao Ruolan watched her disappear with no expression on her face.
When Mrs. Zhao Li came, Zhao Ruolan had already calmed down her emotions and greeted her with her gentle greetings as usual.
On the other hand, Mrs. Zhao Li felt a little uncomfortable. She took Zhao Ruolan's hand and pulled her around. After a while, she said that married people should respect their parents-in-law. The emperor and the queen were not ordinary people, so she asked Zhao Ruolan to be more careful. After a while, he said that if you were wronged, don't hide it. Marquis Yongyi still has some weight in the court.
After talking for a long time, he quickly pulled out a thin booklet from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhao Ruolan's hand as fast as lightning: "This is a fire avoidance map..." These words were almost silent. .
"See for yourself." Mrs. Zhao Li said and wanted to get up, but she was afraid that Zhao Ruolan wouldn't understand, so she forced herself to stand where she was and whispered: "It doesn't matter if you can't learn it. Men are born with it. Just listen to him. In addition, you have to relax. The more nervous you are, the more painful it will be..."
Zhao Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red. She did not dare to meet Zhao Li's eyes, but nodded in panic: "Yes, I understand."
After Zhao Li finished speaking, her tail seemed to be on fire, and she left in a hurry.
Shi Yun stood next to the bed curtain. She originally wanted to tease Zhao Ruolan, but when she peeked her head in and saw Zhao Ruolan's expression, she couldn't help but be stunned. There was no trace of shyness on her face, and now she was just expressionless. .
The girl on the day before her wedding, holding a fire avoidance chart with an expressionless face?
Does she hate the third prince in her heart and reject the marriage too much, or is it because the fire avoidance map is not unusual?
Shi Yun secretly retracted her head again. Looking at it now, it is more likely that Zhao Zhilan is a reborn person. With the same education in a family, the possibility of Zhao Zhilan being the kind of shameless coveting brother-in-law is relatively small. Unless she was reborn and knew that the third prince was not a good match, and had to find a way to get away from him, she could do such a thing at the expense of her face.
However, nothing is absolute. There are no two identical leaves in the world. There are two biological sisters with different temperaments. It is not impossible that Zhao Zhilan is a rebellious person who doesn't care about face.
The most important thing is that she has followed the eldest girl during this period and has observed that there is no fixed jewelry on the eldest girl's body, no special birthmarks, and no sudden behavior of dreaming and talking in her sleep. She also took advantage of the opportunity to serve tea and pour water. When I was there, I touched my hands, pinched my hair, touched my clothes, etc., but nothing was abnormal.
If her mission is to eliminate the golden finger, then if the golden finger is on the older girl, shouldn't she, the taskmaster, have an abnormal reaction if she comes into contact with it?
According to the description in the novel, it should be fever, rapid heartbeat, or even a glow.
Nothing, nothing.
The one she had never come into contact with was Zhao Zhilan, the second girl from Zhao. Shi Yun suddenly thought of an important issue - Zhao Ruolan was about to get married to the third prince. According to what she had said harshly to Zhao Zhilan before, it was very likely that within the next three to five years, she would marry the third prince. She and Zhao Zhilan will never meet again.
As Zhao Ruolan's maid, she would not be able to see Zhao Ruolan again unless there was an accident.
So how did she test Zhao Zhilan?
Shi Yun suddenly became anxious. What would happen to her if she couldn't complete the task? Will he stay in this world for the rest of his life and never go back? Or, what is the punishment for offending the Lord God? For example, out of breath?
"Xiao Yun, go get me a glass of water." Shi Yun was worrying, and even considering whether to change jobs, when she heard the elder girl's instructions. Her body reacted faster than her brain. By the time her brain reacted, she had already walked out. After walking and bowing, he had no choice but to respond: "Yes, please wait a moment, miss. I will go right now."
When she went to pour tea, she heard Qingyun and Qinghua murmuring: "The Hong Xiu next to the second girl suddenly became seriously ill last year and died within two days. Now that I think about it, it's possible that Madam already knew..."
This sentence made a circle in Shi Yun's mind, and she went back holding the tea with a submissive face: "Girl, do you want me to go to the palace with you?"
Zhao Ruolan glanced at her lightly, but it made Shi Yun's heart tighten.
"Of course, you have no relatives or friends in this house. If I keep you, I'm afraid it won't be long before you're gone." Zhao Ruolan said softly, and she reached out to touch Shi Yun's head: " Don't worry, girl, I will definitely protect you. Now, you are the only ones around me who I can trust."
Qingyun and Qinghua also have to follow Zhao Ruolan into the palace. Their two families all have to follow Zhao Ruolan as dowry. However, it is not easy for Zhao Ruolan to bring everyone with him when he enters the palace. For the time being, he can only bring part of the family, and the rest must stay in Zhuangzi. Taking care of things on the street and in the shop.
The dowry given by the Marquis Mansion includes two villages, six shops, and a house. To take care of these dowries, trustworthy people are required.
Shi Yun knew what would happen to a slave who betrayed his master. If she said she wanted to serve the second girl now, she might not be able to see the sun tomorrow. Shi Yun's thoughts changed rapidly, and Shi Yun smiled and said: "Then I can rest assured. I will follow you, girl, no matter what."
After a pause, she lowered her voice: "Girl, we are about to enter the palace anyway. As for the second girl, why don't we think of a way to make her suffer?"
Zhao Ruolan was silent for a moment and asked, "What are your ideas?"
"Slave, I'm going to catch a ham later, sneak into the second girl's yard, and stuff the ham into the second girl's quilt!" Shi Yun said. In the eyes of the eldest girl, she has always been a stupid image, so that Don't come up with ideas that are too bad or cruel.
This idea of hamming sounds funny and fun, just like a child playing pranks. It is not very powerful and cannot hurt anyone, but if it is really done, it will definitely make the second girl look good. What a big mistake, even if by chance, the second girl escapes disheveled, the second girl's reputation will be greatly affected.
If it's more serious, the marriage might also be affected. However, Shi Yun could never think of the following. She could only come up with a prank idea to vent her anger on the eldest girl.
