Chapter 2
Chapter 1
It was the busy autumn season for farmers, but at this time, the people of Qinghe Village were all looking at Jiang’s house in the north of the village.
First, a few slaves on tall horses led the way, and then a carriage came slowly. The carriage is covered with bright jade and covered with bead curtains, and even the horses that pull the carriage are made of gold and silver, which is indescribably luxurious and rich.
If you don’t know the situation, ask, “Who is this, the Jiang family still has such relatives?”
“That’s the daughter of the Jiang family. She seems to be called Jiang Yunzhu. I heard that she was sold out in the early years. I haven’t seen her for a few years. Who would have thought that she would become the young wife of the Hou’s mansion. She is truly a master, and her wealth is extraordinary.” Someone lamented. I don’t know whether I am lamenting Jiang Yunzhu’s fate, or lamenting why I don’t have such a good daughter.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Jiang’s house, and five or six maids stepped forward immediately, surrounded by a young man and a slim lady, and entered the yard.
With a glimpse, everyone saw the appearance of the young man and the beauty.
“That’s the son of the Hou Mansion, he looks really handsome!”
“I just look at the girls from the Jiang family. Tsk tsk, she looks like a fairy lady. No wonder she can be the young lady of the Hou Mansion.”
“How did the Jiang family give birth to such a daughter?”
…
Everyone was envious and jealous, and there were many discussions. In the crowd, Jiang Yunxiu clenched her teeth so hard that she almost bled. She could have owned this carriage, this wealth, and even that handsome man, as long as…
“Mother, I’m sorry for you, you just choose one, stay or go, it’s fate.” Chen’s tearful eyes stretched out both hands forward. In each of her two hands, she holds a dead branch with only a little exposed. The two branches are of different lengths. Whoever chooses the long branch will stay, and whoever chooses the short branch will leave with the teeth. .
Dizzy in front of his eyes, Jiang Yunzhu collected himself and saw clearly what was in front of him.
Three mud-tiled houses and a small courtyard are both real and a little strange. This seems to be the yard she lived in when she first came to this world. What’s going on? Isn’t she already married and has become the young lady of Anping Houfu?
“Yunzhu, your illness is still not cured, you choose first.” Chen said.
The Jiang family has two daughters, the eldest daughter, Jiang Yunzhu, is 16 years old, and the second daughter, Jiang Yunxiu, is 15 years old. The palms and backs of the two daughters are full of flesh, and Chen’s pain hurts, but there is no other way now, so he can only sell one.
In fact, Mrs. Chen preferred to let Jiang Yunzhu stay, because she had just suffered a serious illness a few days ago, and she was so burnt out that she would be very difficult to survive if she was sold again.
But as soon as she thought of her staying, Jiang Yunxiu would have to leave, and Mrs. Chen wished she could take back what she had just said, she couldn’t bear to part with any of them.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at the two branches in Chen’s hand, but finally confirmed that this was indeed when she first traveled to this world.
She clearly remembered these two branches, the one on the left was short, and the one on the right was long. At that time, she chose the one on the left, and then was sold into the Anping Hou Mansion as a maid.
It’s been seven years since she went there, and everything is vivid in her mind, but why, she returned to this time again.
Huang Liang a dream?
Jiang Yunzhu hesitated.
But someone next to him became impatient, “Hurry up, what time is it, I’m still waiting to go back.” A smeared woman urged Jiang Yunzhu first, and then said to Chen, “Sister, I told you not to cry too Yes, six taels of silver is really a lot, you can ask around, now two taels of silver can buy a big girl, how many people want to sell it but can’t sell it!
Didn’t I see that you two daughters are my favorite, otherwise I can give you such a high price? “Speaking of this, the woman rolled her eyes, took Chen’s hand and said eagerly, “Sister, if you want me to say, why draw a lottery, why don’t you sell them both to me, they will follow me, good days are coming Well, isn’t it better than starving and freezing with you?
Thirteen taels, sell them to me together, they will have a way out, and you will have a better life, right? The more the woman talked, the more excited she became. The two daughters of the Jiang family are so lovely. They are fifteen or sixteen years old, just like the dewdrops on the peach blossoms in the morning. As long as she buys them, she can make a fortune by reselling them.
Mrs. Chen quickly shook her head violently. Selling one would be helpless, but selling two would be a loss of conscience.
The woman’s hope was in vain, she cursed secretly in her heart, she was brainless, and only urged, “Then hurry up, who will sell it to me?”
Chen Shi looked at Jiang Yunzhu and motioned for her to choose.
At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had come to his senses, no matter if it was a dream or something, life still had to be lived.
After hesitating for a moment, she reached out to Chen’s left hand. She is not from this world, the original owner is dead, she used his body, so she should give back to her parents. Besides, if everything is really like a dream, she has already experienced it once, and this time it should be easier.
Beside him, Jiang Yunxiu’s complexion changed drastically. Just now, she experienced a change in her life from great sadness to great joy. She couldn’t believe it, God really gave her a chance to start again, this time, she would never be a peasant woman in a mountain village!
She wants wealth and glory, and she wants rich clothes and fine food.
As long as she gets the branch on the left, she will be sold into the Marquis of Anping, and then she will have everything that Jiang Yunzhu had before.
She has thought about it more than once, and now it is finally coming true!
Thinking of this, she took a step ahead of Jiang Yunzhu, and grabbed Chen’s left hand, “Mother, I will choose this branch.” She said excitedly.
“Yunxiu.” Chen was surprised. She didn’t know which branch was longer and which was shorter, but now that Jiang Yunzhu was choosing, she had already chosen the branch in her left hand, what would Jiang Yunxiu grab.
In fact, she didn’t have any malicious intentions, but Jiang Yunxiu seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly complained loudly, “Mother, why did you let my sister choose first, and can’t you let me choose first?”
Yes, Jiang Yunxiu resented the Chen family. In the previous life, she stayed by Chen’s and Jiang Cheng’s side, filial to them, taking care of her younger siblings, and even obeying their advice, and married that worthless Xu Qingshan, but what about them, Jiang Yunzhu was always on their minds.
Thinking about what she was doing, whether she was fed and clothed.
In fact, people eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day in Anping Hou’s Mansion, but they eat bran swallowed vegetables every day in the village.
So what is she, and what is her contribution?
And when Jiang Yunzhu came back and became a noble lady, she was no longer in their eyes.
It’s also a daughter, so they treat her like this?
This time she must replace Jiang Yunzhu and live that kind of rich life, no one can stop her, otherwise she will fight her hard!
The more she thought about it, the more Jiang Yunxiu felt annoyed, she directly squeezed Chen’s hand, and pulled out the branch from her hand.
Chen’s hand hurt from being pinched, and she looked at Jiang Yunxiu in disbelief.
Jiang Yunxiu didn’t care about her, she just looked at the branch in her hand, it was a short branch, it was really a short branch, everything was true, she was going to be the young lady of Hou Fu.
Jiang Yunxiu’s eyes were red, but she was smiling, looking strangely distorted.
Chen only felt that Jiang Yunxiu in front of her was very strange, as if she was not her daughter at all.
Jiang Yunzhu also noticed Jiang Yunxiu’s abnormality. In everyone’s general perception, being sold is tantamount to suffering. The better ones are sold to rich people as maidservants, beaten and scolded at every turn, and their life and death are up to them. The lowly ones, and the unlucky ones, are directly sold into brothels, and their lives will be ruined.
In her dream, she was sold to the Marquis of Anping, the bitterness in it was not enough for outsiders to understand.
That’s why she thought, she’d better choose the short branch.
What now? Jiang Yunxiu wasn’t very afraid of being betrayed before, so why did she suddenly grab the branch in Chen’s left hand? I was so happy to find that there were short branches inside.
Thinking of the experience in the dream, Jiang Yunzhu raised her eyebrows, Jiang Yunxiu didn’t have a similar dream, did she?
She remembered that Jiang Yunxiu was very dissatisfied with her in the dream, and she once said in front of her face that if she had been the first to choose at that time, maybe she would be the young lady of the Houfu now.
Even, she seems to have seduced Lin Tingan, but at that time her face was full of weather, and her flowering period was long gone, how could Lin Tingan fall in love with her.
Interesting, Jiang Yunzhu didn’t move and continued to watch.
“Mother, I chose a short branch.” At this moment, Jiang Yunxiu also calmed down, and said to Chen Shi as if declaring.
“Yunxiu.” Chen was very worried about her.
“Jiang Yunzhu, I chose a short branch.” Jiang Yunxiu said to Jiang Yunzhu again. When she said this, she raised her chin slightly, full of ambition, and God favored her, this time it was finally time for her to be beautiful and prosperous, and Jiang Yunzhu to roll in the mud.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yunzhu finally confirmed her conjecture just now. It seems that she had indeed had a similar dream.
Thinking of all kinds of things in the Anping Hou Mansion, she smiled. Jiang Yunxiu really wants the life in her dream?
Then she will give it to her, I only hope that she will not regret it by then!
The matter was settled like this, the two parties wrote a contract, delivered the money, Jiang Yunxiu packed up his things and left with the woman.
Jiang Yunxiu didn’t bring anything except the clothes on her body. From her point of view, these things in the house have a poor air, and they should not be looked down upon.
Before leaving, she said to Jiang Yunzhu, “Sister, if you can’t live on in the future, come and beg me.” If she was in a good mood, she might reward her with a few taels of silver, just like the ones she gave her in the past. Like satin.
beg her? The corners of Jiang Yunzhu’s lips rose. She thought it was so easy for a maid to go to Mrs. Hou’s mansion?
Besides, why did she ask her, her good life has just begun!
