Chapter 001

All the ladies in Wangjing are guessing, when will Wen Mingyun, the third daughter of the Wen family who is famous all over the world, be able to get married?

In other words, should she enter the bridal chamber in the wedding gown first, or enter the coffin in the shroud first.

"I haven't seen Wen San for a long time, and I don't know if she's coughing up blood or not?"

"That appointment won't get better. She has been coughing for many years, and the Wen family has sought medical treatment everywhere. Whether it is the imperial doctor in the palace or the so-called village doctor, they have tried hundreds of prescriptions and folk prescriptions, but there is still no improvement.It went from bad to worse."

"White lanterns were hung in the mansion several times to prepare for the funeral, and she came back to life."

"Isn't that right? I heard that the Wen family's warehouse is full of red silk and white linen. They are all prepared for weddings and funerals. Whichever comes first will be used when the time comes."

"How did Wen San get this disease? Did it come from the womb?"

"That's not true. She was originally a little delicate. But when she was thirteen or fourteen, she suddenly became seriously ill."

Today is the full moon wine for the twins of the grandchildren of Xuhou Mansion, but even the rare twins have not become the center of the topic.

The ladies gathered together, and that woman was still the focus of everyone.

"Thinking about the number of people who fell in love with the Wen family's Qingliu family back then, there were countless people who proposed marriage to her, and even the prince came to get involved. Mrs. Wen was almost picky, but Wen San suddenly fell ill, and it was out of control.Afterwards, she vomited blood in public, and now she is still playing tricks on her, otherwise no one cares about her."

"It seems that she is twenty-two this year, and in a few years, no one will come to her house even if she has settled down."

While talking, there was another burst of excitement outside, obviously there were guests coming.

All of a sudden, the women who were whispering suddenly straightened their backs and sat upright, and each of them put on a ladylike appearance, as if it was someone else who had just gathered together to chew their tongues.

"Everyone, I'm late." The voice of the visitor was crisp and clear, and he was smiling and smiling, and he seemed to be a cheerful person.

She is Wen San's mother, Mrs. Wen - Chen Jie.

"Hey, mother-in-law, you are late, you have to be punished with a drink." Mrs. Xu Hou hurriedly went up to her and held her hand affectionately.

"I accept the punishment, but what's the point of having one glass of wine? Three glasses are enough. First, I wish you happy grandchildren with twin dragons and phoenixes;My mother has suffered, and she will be safe and healthy in the future, and everything will go smoothly." Mrs. Wen uttered the auspicious words as if she didn't want money, and immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it for a while.

When she was about to have a second cup, Mrs. Xu Hou immediately stopped her.

"Put it down quickly. If you go back drunk, Mr. Wen will probably settle accounts with my Lord Hou."

Wen Mingzhu, the daughter of Wen's family, married the eldest son of Xuhou's mansion and became the eldest son's wife.

In terms of the status of the two families, it is considered a high marriage.

Mrs. Wen was obviously a very capable master, and a few words made the atmosphere in the hall hot.

"Your third girl, won't you come today?"

After a series of polite words, Mrs. Xu Hou finally talked about the issue that everyone was most concerned about, and the surroundings fell silent. Even though everyone was still reserved, their ears were all pricked up.

Mrs. Wen could see it, and her face remained unchanged: "It's such a big happy event, she naturally wants to congratulate her. It's just that she walked slowly. Mingzhu came with her. Madam Hou, please forgive me."

"Where is this? I'm too happy for her to come! Besides, my daughter-in-law and her are sisters, so there must be a lot to say." Mrs. Xuhou said politely.

Under Wen Mingzhu's urging, the sisters finally arrived at the banquet flower hall.

The house is full of charming and smiling beauties, the room is full of fragrance, and people are more delicate than flowers.

Thinking back, Wen Mingyun also liked beauties quite a lot, and there were still so many beautiful sisters and sisters surrounded by beautiful flowers, each of them was reserved, elegant, and ladylike, who wouldn't love to be surrounded by beauties, it was like coming to a paradise on earth.

It's a pity that as she got older, all the close friends in the boudoir who played with her got married and had children, but she was the only one who was celibate and didn't even make a marriage arrangement.

Besides, she is already twenty-two years old this year. If the elders in her family die one after another, she will have an excuse to pass the wedding due to filial piety. However, one of her elders is healthy than the other, so she can only make a fuss about herself.

But even if she vomits blood and is about to die, as long as she still has breath, it is an original sin for her to be unengaged in the ancient aristocratic circle at her age.

Wherever she appeared, monkey shows began to be staged, and everyone regarded her as a pitiful old monkey who was old and decrepit and no one wanted her.

All the dishes on the table were full of color, fragrance and taste, and there were a few novel dishes, but Wen Mingyun was not interested, he just touched his lips with his chopsticks a few times, and then stopped.

Although Wen Mingzhu has been taking care of the guests, she takes a look here from time to time, and when she sees Wen Mingyun's appearance, she knows it in her heart.

The little girl wants to leave.

She took the initiative to come over, took Wen Mingyun's hand, and led her to say goodbye to Mrs. Xuhou.

"Miss San is leaving now? Look at you, you're skinny, and you've only eaten a few mouthfuls. Is this banquet not to your liking?" Mrs. Xu Hou looked at her distressedly, her face full of worry.

Wen Mingyun shook his head quickly, but suddenly coughed, and immediately covered his lips with a brocade handkerchief.

"How could it be? Today's dishes must be served by the chef of Donglaishun Restaurant. Although I haven't eaten all of them, I have tasted a few of them, as well as the latest cherry meat and braised carp, which is a combination of meat and vegetables., obviously very attentive. It's just that I'm not feeling well, so I won't stay here for a long time, so as not to disturb everyone's interest." She spoke softly and sincerely, which made people feel very heartwarming.

"The third girl has a heart. Let's go." Mrs. Xu Hou waved her hand, and the expression on her face became much lighter.

The sisters of the Wen family left arm in arm through the side door. After keeping away from everyone's sight, Wen Mingyun couldn't help but say, "Sister, what's the matter with your mother-in-law? Is it possible that you are acting weird to me in front of me?"Does she still want me to say something that is not good for you? Besides, if I really say that the banquet is unpalatable, then the whole Xuhou Mansion will be the first to lose face. She has a good-looking face, but she is really a stupid old fool with a bad heart!"

The full moon wine for the twins in Xuhou's mansion was naturally arranged by Wen Mingzhu.

This Mrs. Xu Hou is used to wearing small shoes for others. She is not capable of managing the Hou's mansion. Wen Mingzhu has to worry about the full moon wine before she is confinement.

But Fan Wen Mingyun couldn't hear her words just now, and didn't explain clearly, it is estimated that the spread will be beyond recognition the next day.

After the full moon wine banquet, Wen San left the banquet early because he felt that the dishes that day were extremely unpalatable, which made the Wen family sisters how to behave.

Wen Mingzhu immediately raised his hand to cover her mouth, and gave her a warning look.

"This is not your place, and the trouble comes from the mouth." Wen Mingzhu patted the back of her hand: "I asked the girl to lead you to my yard, where there is already a table, obediently wait for my mother and I to go back."

Wen Mingyun went back to eat alone, so he was naturally unwilling, so he simply wandered around the back garden of Xuhou Mansion.

Today's full moon wine, the front hall and backyard of Xuhou's mansion are serving wine, outsiders also know how to avoid it, and will not go to the inner courtyard, so they are not afraid of meeting people they shouldn't meet.

It's just that today is destined to be unkind. Since she walked around the rockery, there was a vulgar conversation in her ear, and the protagonist of the conversation happened to be her.

"I saw the three girls of Wen's family last time. Their faces were pale, and they looked like they crawled out of the underworld in broad daylight. No one wants such dilapidated bodies in our village!"

It's an ancient version. No one wants Fan Bingbing in our village.Tut tut.

The rough voice was extremely unpleasant, as if it wanted to pierce someone's eardrum.

The maid who led the way at the front was named Luzhu, and she was Wen Mingzhu's second-class maid, and her face turned pale instantly.

Wen Mingyun immediately grabbed her, raised his hand to signal her to be silent, leaned into his ear and asked, "Who is the woman in there?"

"Nurse Tian who is beside Mrs. Hou was brought from Tian's house." Luzhu replied.

Wen Mingyun blinked, with a look of interest on his face.

Mrs. Xuhou's original surname is Tian, and this Nanny Tian was obviously brought over by her when she got married, and she also gave the master's surname, which must be very useful.

Thinking of Mrs. Xu Hou's little actions just now, Wen Mingyun only felt that there was a bad breath in his heart that was about to dissipate, and it came just in time.

Another person in the rockery sneered: "Grandma Tian, what nonsense are you talking about, the third girl is a daughter of a thousand gold after all, with countless dowries. There are too many people who want it!"

"I'm not lying. She looks like a hen that can't lay eggs. It's impossible to marry an ancestor and come back to make offerings. Anyway, my Tie Zhu won't marry!" Tian Nanny said boldly.

"Who is Tie Zhu?" Wen Mingyun asked towards the rockery.

"Of course Tie Zhu is my son. He should be by Shizi's side all the time. I will leave it to him to handle any important matters that Shizi has." Madam Tian's voice was so loud that echoes echoed in the rockery.

"Who are you talking to, Mrs. Tian!" someone asked.

Mother Tian was startled, and shouted loudly: "Who is outside? Where is this damn girl, Chuan'er? Why did you let outsiders come over after asking her to guard the door!"

There was a sudden commotion inside the rockery, Mother Tian climbed out first, followed by two old ladies, and immediately the smell of alcohol came to the nostrils.

The weather is hot, and the inside of the rockery is cooler than usual, so hide inside to enjoy the coolness, and drink leisurely.

"You, you are—" Tian Nanny began to tremble all over.

"Why, just now you thought I wasn't good enough for your son, so you don't know me now?" Wen Mingyun sneered.

She was obviously very angry, but her voice was always soft, it sounded like she was out of breath, as if she didn't even have the strength to get angry.

"What a woman from Tian, what a Xuhou mansion, she actually thinks that my daughter from the Wen family is not worthy of a long-term follower!" Wen Mingyun said word by word.

After she finished speaking, she spat out a mouthful of blood "Wow—" and passed out as soon as she rolled her eyes.

"Third Miss!" The surrounding maids rushed forward.

The faces of the three women were even paler. Tian Nanny sat down on the ground, completely sober from the wine, and shouted blankly: "It's over, it's over!"
