Chapter 1 Mingyue Zhaoqugou 1
In the first half of October, the night was quiet, and the Marquis of Ningyuan was white and quiet. There was no light in Rongxuan's courtyard in the middle of the backyard. This place was the residence of Mrs. Lin and her granddaughter Li Tian, who had just died. At this time, Mrs. Lin stopped in the main hall of the front yard. Li Tian stayed in front of Ling and cried for three days. In the evening, she couldn't stand fainting, and the two aunts ordered her to carry her into the Ruiyun Pavilion by the lake in the back garden to rest.
The moon is so good today. Li Tian curled up in the rockery in the back garden of Rongxuan Hall and looked up at the moon hanging in the air like a silver plate. The moonlight was cold and the weather was cold. Li Tian tightened her tight thin linen cloak, moved her, changed her posture, turned her head and continued to look at the direction of Ruiyun Pavilion in the back garden.
Where is not easy to settle? She has to be placed in the Ruiyun Pavilion, which is surrounded by water on three sides and four empty, which is farther away from the Lingtang than Rongxuan Hall. This Sima Zhao's heart is red and bright, and the corners of Li Tian's mouth pulled down with a trace of coldness. Grandma said that the two aunts are a pair of fools. It's really right. These two aunts are all picked by their grandmothers. Li Tian's silent smile is as cold as the moonlight. Grandma is really awesome. Isn't it strong to be like grandma? Grandma didn't see her grow up to get married... Li Tian's smile was getting bitter, her chin against her knees, and there was another bitter pain in her heart.
Grandma walked with her eyes open. She was worried about herself. Li Tian looked up slightly and looked at the flowers and trees in the moonlight inch by inch. Grandma must be next to her. She couldn't see her. She must be looking at herself. Li Tian blinked back to the tears in her eyes and said silently, "Grandma, don't worry, Tianer will definitely Live a good life! Never abuse yourself and take advantage of others!"
A red light suddenly rose in the back garden. Li Tian's face suddenly turned white and her eyes looked straight at the pillar of red light in the direction of Ruiyun Pavilion. They... really set fire!
Li Tian bent down and drilled out of the rockery and ran to the dripping tower like an elf under the moon.
Grandma's little corius and hasn't been carried out of Rongxuan's courtyard. His uncle Ningyuanhou Yan Chengzhi immediately drove out all the servants in the courtyard. A big lock locked the courtyard door. Li Tian hooked a chill at the corners of his mouth. This vicious eating man was real, and the lock was just right! She didn't plan to keep this yard at all. This is her and her grandmother's home. Grandma certainly can't tolerate that pair of fools living in, and she can't tolerate it. She has already planned that if Grandma leaves, she will burn up the yard and take it away for grandma!
In the shadow under the steps of Dicui Building, Li Tian's confidant girl was looking around anxiously. Seeing Li Tian running over and hurriedly holding her skirt to meet her, Li Tian asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?"
"Okay!" Yingluo handed over the fire sickle tightly in his hand and said, "Five Lady, let me do it, you..."
"No." Li Tian simply refused. This is her and her grandmother's home. She must light this fire with her own hands.
Li Tian took the sickle from Yingluo's hand and ordered, "Go to the library and go around before going to Ruiyun Pavilion." With that, he jumped up the steps lightly, squatted down and carefully struck the fire sickle to catch fire. He answered in a low voice and did not dare to delay. He ran from the corner door next to the library in the northwest corner of the back garden with his skirt.
Li Tian lit the velvet and shook it gently. Seeing the flames coming up, she raised her hand and threw the velvet into the door of the house. She immediately turned around and jumped down the steps. The Dicui Building was already spilled oil from the door. Not waiting for the velvet to fall to the ground, a firelight rose in the door. Li Tian ran out of the corner door, suddenly stopped and looked back at the already flaming Rongxuan courtyard. Her face was full of tears, bit her trembling uncontrollable lips, turned her head fiercely, and ran all the way along the secluded path by the wall without looking back.
Two places, Ruiyun Pavilion and Di Cui Building, were full of fire, and Ningyuan Hou Mansion was in a mess. Li Tian ran all the way into the empty hall and got under the coffin bed. Under the coffin bed was covered with soft and thick thin cotton cushions. Li Tian took off her cloak and lay down and reached out her hand to touch the fine cloth quilt from the corner above her head. , pulled over and opened the cover, rubbed his head on the pillow, turned over, adjusted his breath, and listened to the movement outside.
The voices in the distance are boiling, but the crackling of lanterns can be heard quietly in the mourning hall.
Grandma lay on it and lay down by herself. Li Tian gently scratched the coffin bed on her head with her fingers. This is her only relative in the world. Li Tian only felt a burst of heart-wrenching pain, not for herself, but for grandma. People have souls. Grandma, you must know now that I'm not your obedient Tiantian. , your good-bea, you left when you fell into the water...
Li Tian pulled up the quilt and covered her face with tears.
Mrs. Lin, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan, was held in the palm of her parents since she was a child. At the age when she was about to marry, she chose the son of the talented and handsome Marquis of Ningyuan and later Yan Wenzao, the Marquis of Ningyuan. Who knows that she has not been married for ten years. At the tenth year, Mrs. Lin cried. , took a concubine for her husband. In the month when the concubine was pregnant, Mrs. Lin was actually happy. In October, she was pregnant. The concubine gave birth to Yan Chengzhi, the eldest son of the Marquis of Ningyuan and now the Marquis of Ningyuan. Lin gave birth to a daughter, that is, Li Tian's mother Yan Wanfang.
In the confinement, Mrs. Lin didn't know why she had a big fight with her husband. That night, her blood collapsed. Although her life was saved, she could no longer have a child. Since then, according to the words of the wet nurse Mother Xiong, a loving couple became enemies. There were more and more concubines in Yan Wenzao's backyard, and the concubine's sons and daughters delivered one by one. Fortunately, Yan Wenzao's life was short. At the age of 38, he was ill and couldn't afford to do funerals, and even his son didn't have time to stand. That year, Mrs. Lin was 37 years old, and Yan Wanfang and her eldest son Yan Chengzhi were only eight years old.
After Mrs. Lin forced Yan Chengzhi's biological mother to hang herself, she set up Yan Chengzhi, the eldest son of a concubine, Yan Chengzhi, on behalf of her husband. Since then, Mrs. Lin has been the high-ranking and unconferred head of the Marquis's mansion.
When Yan Wanfang was 19 years old, she married Li Zhongxian, the son of the Duke of Yongguo. Mrs. Lin almost emptied the whole Ningyuan Marquis's mansion as a dowry for her daughter, but her dowry was useless. As soon as Mother Xiong said this, she marveled: "The old lady is not an ordinary person. The woman's dowry is left to her own child. Child, this is a natural thing. The law is written in black and white. If the old lady's dowry is left to her, isn't the strict family all the lady's? What's the use of that broken title? The concubine Chengjue didn't have a feudal title, just a false name. The salary of a month is not enough for oil and salt money..."
Li Tian sighed secretly. Her mother's dowry is even bigger than her grandmother's. She began to take care of her mother and grandmother - or her own dowry three years ago. Grandma is very good at taking care of common affairs. After years of living, when these two dowry was handed over to her own hands, they were already huge and a little scary.
But does grandma really take care of that silver? How could a person like grandma put silver in her eyes? Li Tian wiped her tears with her sleeves, turned over, and looked at the bright line between the coffin curtain and the ground. Grandpa's love, her daughter, her granddaughter, were the things she really put on the tip of her heart, but this one was gone.
Grandma loved her grandfather. Li Tian closed her eyes sadly. Grandma often looked at her grandfather's poetry book alone and saw God. She was almost 60 years old. She smiled like a shy girl at 17 or 18 years old. She loved her so much that she hated him so much that she wanted to end his heir... P>
Li Tian subconsciously tightened the quilt. Yan Wanfang married the second year and gave birth to her daughter Li Tian. On the day of the full moon, she and her husband Li Zhongxian went to Puji Temple outside the city to return incense. On the way back, they met robbers. Only 20 to 30 miles from the capital, there were robbers who could kill dozens of strong servants. The son and his wife of Yongguo were not alive, but their belongings did not move at all. Li Tian raised her hand and gently stroked the coffin bed. She asked her grandmother. Her grandmother's face was very gloomy and said that she had returned everything that should be returned. She asked her not to mention this matter again. Grandma never wanted to say more about the Li family in the Duke of Yongguo Mansion, and she did not ask much. She thought it was herself. It's just a wedding from the Duke of Yongguo Mansion on the day of marriage. Who knows...
Li Tian pressed the coffin bedboard sadly. Grandma must have left. She must know that she is not her little Tiantian. Poor little Tiantian, so much money, the two concubines of Ningyuan Houfu are so poor. Why don't they induce them to be vicious? Grandma looked so tight that Xiao Tiantian was still found by them to push into the lake. Such a black hand has never been broken. However, on the one hand, she is not a young naive little Tiantian, and on the other hand, grandma invited her Yue Niang.
Grandma knows, so that she can leave without worry. Grandma left at ease, and she doesn't care about herself. Li Tian felt sad. Today is the fourth day after her grandmother left. In these four days, she didn't even dare to take a sip of the water in this house. She dared to drink it, and her uncles dared to poison her!
