In the evening, the weather was cold and gloomy.
Because of the recent continuous spring rain, everything is wet. Even in the capital, there are very few people on the streets. Even the vendors who do business have gone home early.
Under the eaves, Hu Miaomiao was a little thinly dressed, but because she kept grinding beans, she didn't feel cold.
When she is focused on one thing, even a heavy rainstorm will not distract her.
Therefore, Hu Xinrou called her several times, but Hu Miaomiao didn't hear her.
"younger sister!"
Suddenly, a slightly angry voice sounded above the head.
Hu Miaomiao raised her head, revealing a stunningly beautiful little face. Her sparkling eyes seemed to be able to enchant people's hearts. Her red lips were not red, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was smiling every moment. meaning.
After experiencing several worlds, Hu Miaomiao became more and more beautiful, like a spirit-sucking enchantment in the mountains, but her eyes were so clear, as ignorant as a newborn deer, and people couldn't bear to hurt her.
Whenever Hu Xinrou sees this face, she will always feel extremely jealous. They are obviously sisters, why is she so beautiful?
In fact, Hu Xinrou is also very beautiful, but she can only be reduced to a foil next to Hu Miaomiao.
"Sister, why are you here?" Hu Miaomiao looked at the visitor in confusion.
Hu Xinrou suppressed the jealousy in her eyes and smiled lightly: "Sister, let me help you grind the beans together. After all, I can't let you work alone."
Hu Miaomiao hesitated to speak and declined her kindness.
For no other reason than that, Hu Xinrou worked too slowly. She took a few breaths after grinding once, wiped her sweat after grinding twice, where was the work?
Hu Xinrou's expression froze, but she soon returned to her original state. Her eyebrows were charming and she looked so pitiful.
"Sister, are you still blaming me?" Hu Xinrou was heartbroken. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I don't want to change my relationship with you. It's all my father's wishes, and I can't go against it."
It turns out that they are all the legitimate daughters of Taishi Hu, and their respective mothers are Taishi Hu's wives.
However, Hu Miaomiao's mother died early, and the Taishi Mansion was run by Hu Xinrou's mother.
Their age difference is only one month, and they have been engaged to the Marquis since childhood.
This was a much-coveted marriage, and Taishi Hu had always been proud of it.
What is hateful is that it was rumored that Dingyuan Hou was armed with heavy troops and actually conspired with the eldest prince to rebel. Although there was no evidence, the current emperor was jealous of him, took away his military power, and even ransacked his home.
Taishi Hu was also involved and was covered in dirty water.
The Holy Emperor still felt that he could not understand his hatred. After all, he was old and hated the close contact between his ministers. Since Dingyuan Hou and Taishi Hu were so "good friends", he should let them get closer and become in-laws as soon as possible.
As a result, Taishi Hu's two daughters were carried into the Hou Mansion in a hurry.
However, at this time, the Hou Mansion had been ransacked, and except for an elderly Mrs. Hou, there was not even a single maid to serve her.
Hu Xinrou panicked because she was one month older and the person she was engaged to was the Marquis Yin Tianzhao.
It is said that the Marquis is tall and thick-set. He is usually stern and stern. His hands are stained with the blood of enemy soldiers. He can scare children to tears at a glance.
I also heard that he injured his penis during the battle and was no longer humane!
If you marry him, won't you be a widow for the rest of your life?
So, Hu Xinrou cried and fussed at home, and she was so surprised that her mother turned her back on Taishi Hu and asked Hu Miaomiao to marry him instead.
And she got her wish and married Yin Tianqi, the Marquis's younger brother.
Hu Xinrou and Yin Tianqi have known each other for a long time and have a good impression of each other. Therefore, Yin Tianqi did not refuse the "marriage exchange".
The one who was kept in the dark from beginning to end was Hu Miaomiao.
wrong! Yin Tianzhao didn't know either. After all, he had never appeared since the day they got married. It has been a month now, and Hu Miaomiao has not even seen his face.
Whenever she thought about this, Hu Xinrou felt extremely lucky that she had allowed this stupid sister to marry her instead, otherwise she would have been the widow.
However, I thought that this sister would die or live, but it turned out not to be the case, and she seemed to be fine. Because the Hou Mansion had no money left, she figured out a food called "tofu", which sold quite well. .
As a result, Hu Xinrou would feel unhappy.
"Sister, you must be very tired grinding tofu by yourself every day. Why not use your private money to support your family?"
Hu Xinrou pretended to be concerned, but it was actually a test, because when she married into the Hou Mansion, her dowry was very small. Her mother secretly gave her a few hundred taels, but her father didn't get a penny.
If it is said that father secretly gave Hu Miaomiao some money, is it not impossible?
But her mouth was too tight. Hu Xinrou tried many times, but Hu Miaomiao said that she had no money, but she could make money.
snort! How could she have no money?
Hu Xinrou rolled her eyes, snatched the millstone from Hu Miaomiao's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, let me help you."
Hu Miaomiao said "Yeah" but didn't refuse. This made Hu Xinrou dumbfounded. After all, she was just pretending and had no intention of doing hard work.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Hu Miaomiao looked confused and didn't understand why she looked at him like that.
Hu Xinrou took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing. My sister just thinks you are beautiful. If Mr. Hou comes back, he will be fascinated by you."
Hu Miaomiao blushed with embarrassment and whispered: "Stop laughing at me, I will ignore you."
"You sisters are smiling so happily. What are you talking about?"
Suddenly, a cheerful voice came.
The person who came was none other than Yin Tianqi, a handsome young man with a majestic appearance who had charmed countless young girls.
He is different from Yin Tianzhao. He has loved reading and poetry since he was a child, and he has good handwriting.
"Tianqi, you're here!" Hu Xinrou threw herself into his arms, like a weak and helpless dodder flower.
Yin Tianqi subconsciously looked at Hu Miaomiao, pushed her away slightly, and whispered, "Don't be like this, my sister-in-law is still watching."
Hu Xinrou was dissatisfied. After all, she wanted to show off in front of Hu Miaomiao, but she was very thoughtful and would only show her considerate side.
"Tianqi, I will listen to you."
She is so gentle, what man wouldn't love such a woman?
However, Yin Tianqi's thoughts were all on Hu Miaomiao, and no one would appreciate her delicateness.
"Sister-in-law, are you grinding beans again?" Yin Tianqi was extremely distressed and advised, "I will make good money. Just stay at home with Xinrou and stop doing such menial work."
She is a daughter of a wealthy family. She has never done such rough work. It would be a big deal if calluses formed on her palms.
Hu Miaomiao smiled slightly and comforted him, "It's okay. I'm idle anyway, so just let me find something to do."
Yin Tianqi smiled bitterly and felt even worse.
Speaking of which, he himself was useless. His eldest brother had gone somewhere, and the Hou Mansion was constantly being watched. Not to mention making money, he couldn't even buy a maid.
If he had known that day, Yin Tianqi would study hard and join the court as an official early, so that he would be able to help his elder brother.
Now, let alone the whereabouts of the eldest brother, even the eldest sister-in-law has to endure hardships with the Hou Mansion.
Yin Tianqi didn't notice that he looked at Hu Miaomiao with a strange look. How could a younger brother think about his sister-in-law?
