Pearl Chapter
When I was six years old, my mother and I went to Yunshang Temple to pray for blessings. On the way, we met a gangster hijacking. At that time, I was really scared.
Just when I thought that my mother and I would be poisoned, two teenage boys saved us.
I will always remember the appearance of the two boys, with long jade standing upright, light ink hair, and elegant like a fairy. Unfortunately, they all wear masks on their faces, and I can't see what they look like.
One of them is very indifferent, and the other is often with a warm smile on his lips.
I thought I would have a good impression on the smiling person, but I don't know why, at that time, I clearly felt that my heart was towards the boy who squeezed his lips tightly.
I was speechless all the way. Under their escort, my mother and I safely returned to the guard. Just as I sat in the sedan chair, I clearly saw that far away, the indifferent boy took off the mask on his face under the green trees and looked up at the top of the mountain.
I finally saw the person's side face clearly. It was so perfect and beautiful, just like my father and mother said, the fairy in the sky.
At that moment, my heart seemed to have been thrown into the lake of stones, echoing with amazing ripples in circles.
Since then, the beautiful side face has been deeply hidden in my heart, accompanied by the silver mask.
Before I was eight years old, I was an authentic official lady. I was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Everyone who knew me praised me.
But in the year when I was eight years old, my father was jailed for committing a crime, and even my brothers did not escape the final sanctions. My mother and other aunts were sold as slaves. When I was most depressed, it was the young lady who bought me and gave me a place to settle down.
I thought my life was over, but the young lady treated me very well, and the master and wife were also very nice. The days in the single family can be said to be the happiest time since I left home.
I always thought that I would grow up so quietly, and then one day, under the decision of the master's wife or lady, I would marry someone who was almost right and continue to live in a single family.
But I underestimated the trick of fate.
At the age of 18, the young lady, who was two years younger than me, married quietly. At that time, I was in the capital with the young master. I was very happy for the young lady when I heard the news. At least before the young lady and my uncle arrived in the capital, I thought so.
But then, I met my uncle.
The moment I saw the mask on his face, I felt that I couldn't breathe.
It's him! It's him! The boy who saved my life in Yunshang Temple!
But he has now become the young lady's son-in-law, my uncle. I feel that fate is playing a big joke on me.
In order to determine whether he was that person or not, I searched for a lot of information from the jade, until I occasionally saw a small crescent-shaped scar on the back of his hand.
I remember when I was a child, the unsmiling boy also had such a scar on his hand.
He is right.
I feel like my heart is pinched, and it hurts so much.
Looking at his gentle smile on the young lady and his gentle preparation for the young lady, I really envy and feel sad.
At the same time, it is also contradictory.
Miss once said that she would rather be a poor wife than a prince's concubine.
When the young lady said, she looked very disgusted. She said that she only wanted a couple for a lifetime. If the other party couldn't do it, she would rather not get married for the rest of her life.
I know it's because the old man and his wife have always been so affectionate, that's why the young lady thinks so. The master has never taken a concubine, and he has been good to his wife for ten years. I know that not only me, Feicui, and even other maids in the house are equally envious of my wife.
So I agree with what the young lady said.
But now, a person who has been thinking about it for more than ten years suddenly appeared in front of me. After a few thoughts, I finally couldn't help thinking about my aunt. Even if I'm not a concubine, I'm willing to have a room.
It is common for a dowry maid to be a house for uncle. As long as I can be with him, I will do whatever I want.
But I forgot that Miss hated this kind of thing the most. She was just stunned and refused my request.
"Pearl, do you know what you're talking about?" The young lady put away the smile on her face and said to me with a serious face, "You forgot that I told you that there are three things that can't be shared in life. The first one is the husband. Have you forgotten?"
I didn't forget, that's why I struggled.
I also know that I am delusional - how can a young lady marry with three wives and four concubines? It must be the end for the young lady, right?
I didn't tell the young lady that my uncle saved me when I was a child, nor did I tell her that I missed this person for ten years.
I know that after this incident, the young lady will definitely not treat me as before. I stepped on the young lady's bottom line, which is what the young lady said. As long as anyone steps on her bottom line, she will try to stay away from her and don't want to be close to her anymore.
And now I'm the one who stepped on the wrong line, but I don't regret it. At least I said what I thought and had something on my mind.
After saying goodbye to the young lady, I went back to the capital with the young master.
Life is still ordinary day by day. Sometimes when I think of the young lady and the unreachable him, I still have a little bitterness in my heart. I will probably live like this for the rest of my life. It's better not to marry for the rest of your life than to marry the wrong person - but... It's good to be a sister-in-law. It's also good for the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha to live a lifetime.
But to my surprise, at this time, Confucius Mu actually proposed to the young master to marry me again.
Confucius Mu is an imperial merchant. When I first came to the capital with the young master, he had been good to me in every way.
I know that he has always been in love with me. In the past, because there was someone in my heart, I never taken it seriously.
But this time, I can't think of a reason to refuse him.
The person in my heart has no hope. Do you really want to never get married again? I'm afraid that if the young lady knew, she would definitely scold me, right?
She will definitely scold me for being disappointing and insulting myself too much - I know that she cares about me, but I broke her heart and can't go back.
The young master also advised me that although Confucius Mu once had a wife, he had a good appearance and a good temper. If I get married, I will definitely not suffer.
If I also want to, I might as well take it. He can help me take off my cheap book, find a classmate friend to make a deed with me, and be my adoptive brother, and let me get married.
I agreed without thinking for too long.
Instead of staying in a single house to make the young lady and uncle unhappy and increase their troubles, it's better to leave like this. There will be a thought in the future, and... At the age of 18, she is indeed an old girl.
Confucius Mu doesn't dislike me. I'm already grateful. How can he refuse?
The young master seemed very happy to see me agree. Confucius Mu danced excitedly and almost fell into the lake. I looked at the simple and honest man who couldn't close his mouth with a smile. I don't know why, the softest part of my heart seemed to have been touched.
The young master really found Lord Huo, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, as my brother-in-law and prepared a decent dowry for me. Five days later, Confucius Mu married me from Huo's house with the gift of his wife.
On the wedding night, he smiled and said to me happily, "Pearl, from now on, you are my wife, and I will always be good to you."
One of my newspapers smiled shyly.
In fact, if you put it down, you won't feel any more heartache.
For the rest of the day, Confucius Mu treated me very well and couldn't wait to hold me in the palm of his hand. But after all, he has to go home. His home is not in the capital.
Although I am his house, there is a young master to protect the media. Lord Huo is a good brother, and I am not afraid of being bullied in the future - Confucius Mu's ex-wife died early, and there are no children under his knees, but there are two concubines.
Confucius Mu promised the young master that after going back, he dismissed his concubine and only focused on being good to me.
I know he can't tell lies, so I feel at ease.
Just as we were about to leave for Jizhou, the young master received the news of the young lady's delivery. He was overjoyed and immediately prepared to leave for Yanzhou.
I know that the young lady definitely doesn't want to see me again at this time, but I still subconsciously want to meet the young lady for the last time. Even if the young lady doesn't welcome me, I will admit it.
I think I need to make things clear.
So I followed the young master back to Yanzhou first, and Confucius Mu would arrive later than us because of urgent matters.
When the young master was one month old, I saw the young lady again. Sure enough, she was still a little alienated from me. I smiled bitterly, said congratulations and walked away. Maybe now is not the time to explain.
Three days after the full moon wine, Confucius Mu rushed to Yanzhou to make peace with me.
Before leaving, I gave the written trustee to the young lady, and then I got into the carriage with Confucius.
I thought the young lady would never talk to me again, but I was wrong. The moment I received a reply from the young lady, I finally couldn't help crying. After all, the young lady forgave me.
At the end, my heart knot was untied.
Goodbye, Yanzhou; Goodbye, Miss; Goodbye, the one in my heart.
I will live a good life in the future, and I hope you all have a happy life.
Pushing away Confucius Mu's big hand that wiped my tears for me. I looked at his anxious appearance, held his hand tightly, and smiled at him brightly. "Fax, let's go home."
