Save the Abusive Heroine - Chapter 66
The person who came was Mrs. Huaihou’s capable woman, surnamed Yang. Although she was not very proud, she was appreciated by Mrs. Huaihou because of her sharp mouth.
Mrs. Yang stood outside the carriage with her nose raised and her eyes raised. Wen Xiao sat in the carriage and pursed her lips tightly:
“Dare to ask what the honorable driver is called?”
Seeing Wen Xiao, Mrs. Yang didn’t immediately refute her words. Instead, she politely asked herself what to call her first, and she felt a little smug in her heart.
It seems that she is just a little girl who has not seen much of the world, so she can handle it.
“The old lady’s surname is Yang. You are from our Huaihou Mansion. It’s enough to just call me Mrs. Yang.”
“Mr. Yang, what did you mean by that? I don’t understand. Please tell me in detail.”
“Yo, I really don’t want to be so shameless, and I want my old lady to tell you in detail? You know that Mrs. Liu, who welcomed you before, was crazy when she returned to the mansion!
Every day in the mansion, he was muttering: ‘The bride is disrespectful, the bride is disrespectful’, but the old lady wanted to ask the girl, what did you do to make Mrs. Liu be like that? “
Wen Xiao heard that his voice gradually became cold:
“Yeah, I also want to know what I’ve done to get you to talk nonsense in front of me, to smear my name so much!
Then Mrs. Liu is crazy, how can you believe the words of a madman?
If I remember correctly, my marriage contract with you, the Prince of Huai Hou, has already been decided. This time, the Hou Mansion greeted me in person, but now he stopped me at the gate of the city. What is the reason? “
Wen Xiao’s words were not very intense, just trying to test the meaning of Huaihou Mansion, but she didn’t expect that Mrs. Yang laughed up to the sky as if she had heard a joke after hearing Wen Xiao’s words:
“Strange Daoist people often say that when folk girls are ignorant of etiquette, can the marriage contract made by the prince be counted? But you still came to the capital, since the girl has such a deep affection for our prince, there is a pink sedan girl here, if you want, The old lady herself asked someone to carry the girl back to the house!”
Mrs. Yang said so, but it meant that she was trying to be poor.
The purpose of her coming here is to let this bride, who came from far away from Liangzhou City, enter Huaihou Mansion as a concubine!
Huaihou’s mansion was originally established in Kyoto by in-laws, but now the prince of Huaihou is such a glorious person, how can he be his wife with a common woman?
Mrs. Yang asserted that Wen Xiao was a commoner woman who had never seen the world, and naturally did not dare to defy the small momentum of the Hou Mansion, so she directly and clearly stated her plans.
Before she left the mansion, the poor son had warned her carefully, saying that although the Wen family girl was born in a cheap family, she used to have a very strict family education and had integrity. Let Mrs. Yang think of some ways to force Wen Xiao to become a concubine.
However, in just two short sentences, Mrs. Yang asserted that the woman in the carriage was a timid and cowardly person, and the calculations she had prepared before did not need to be said.
“Pink sedan?”
Wen Xiao sat in the carriage, she clenched her fists and feet. Before that, the adults had already told her about all kinds of things in Huaihou’s mansion. Although she believed most of them at that time, she still had a little doubt. The old woman stepped on her face, and she realized that the adults were doing her own good.
“You, Huaihou Mansion, lied to me as an orphan, so that’s why you could go back on your word? When she came to greet her relatives, Mrs. Liu said that your mansion matched my character, and it was a match made in heaven with the prince, so she greeted him with the courtesy of his wife. “It’s funny to say these words when you enter the city now!”
“This girl is wrong, our Hou Mansion really wants to marry her back to Beijing as a proper wife, but it’s a pity that the girl thinks that you are now worthy of the honorable position of our Mrs. Huai Hou Mansion’s Crown Prince?
The eight-carved sedan chair sent by our Huaihou Mansion, the girl did not sit, and the girl in the dragon and phoenix clothes prepared for the girl must not wear it, so how can the girl be worthy of my position as the wife of the prince of Huaihou Mansion? “
“Really? Liangzhou City is far away from Kyoto, there are three mountains and five cities. This way, who can stop the bandits in the five mountains in your eight-carried sedan chair in Huaihou Mansion? ?
If I didn’t want me to come to Kyoto safely to make an appointment, why would I have to make such a bad decision? On the contrary, it makes Er et al so condescending to me! That being the case, this marriage contract does not end! “
Wen Xiao didn’t get out of the carriage, but the voice was so loud that even the onlookers nodded when they heard this.
“I heard what the woman said just now, I thought it was this little girl who didn’t know the etiquette herself, so she came from Liangzhou City!”
“I heard that mountain bandits are already entrenched near Liangzhou City. If you carry a large sedan chair, and then follow Shili Hongzhuang, it is not a bright target?”
“It’s true, this girl is smart and acted properly, and this woman doesn’t know what she has in mind. She greets her relatives with joy, but she doesn’t want to…”
“Hey, haven’t you heard? This is the marriage of the Huaihou Mansion. What happened to the Huaihou Mansion is not unusual, right? It’s a pity…”
Mrs. Yang originally felt that she could control Wen Xiao from the commanding heights of morality, but she didn’t expect that Wen Xiao’s words would turn the two of them upside down in an instant.
“Humph! You, a civilian girl, want to marry into our Huaihou Mansion, but don’t you want to climb mountains and mountains, and come out of water?”
“Mr. Yang, what you said makes sense, but since the Huaihou Mansion has no sincerity towards the marriage contract between the two families, then forgive me for not serving.”
Wen Xiao said so, then lifted the car curtain and walked straight down:
“Although that Mrs. Liu from your Huaihou Mansion has gone mad, she must know what happened on the way.
It was obviously the mountain bandits who robbed the sedan chair, and I was rescued by a good-hearted person, but you Huaihou Mansion turned black and white and said I was inappropriate.
Well, let’s end the engagement. This is a token. As for the betrothal gift from Huaihou Mansion, I have also brought it truthfully. Please check it out in person! “
As soon as Wen Xiao got off the carriage, it raised both sides, and directly surrounded him in twos and threes, and the people watching fell into sluggishness.
Wen Xiao only wore a light blue dress today, even the bun was very simple, and did not make any decorations. He only used a hair band of the same color, which was wrapped around his hair, and the rest were long swaying in the hair. Behind him, it looks very fresh and refined.
The sun is not very strong at the moment, but a warm smile on the carriage makes people feel as if the eyes are brightened.
What kind of a woman with icy muscles and jade bones was that, with her eyes full of turbulent eyes and red lips, which amazed everyone’s eyeballs.
They seemed to understand why the Prince of Huaihou insisted on marrying this woman as his wife! If they had such an outstanding beauty in front of them, let alone marrying a wife, they would be willing to dig out a heart for her!
As soon as the warm joke fell, Cui Ming greeted the group of bearers and guards to blast them like cattle and sheep, and asked them to put out the so-called betrothal gift from Huaihou Mansion.
Back then, the third master at the foot of Yuwei Mountain was not interested in the betrothal gifts of this team, because the betrothal fee was too thin.
As a result, when the three or five Xitai were brought to the front of the people in the name of Huaihuaihou’s mansion, they actually caused the crowd to sigh.
“My God, is this the betrothal gift that Huaihou’s mansion prepared to welcome their eldest son and wife? It’s really bullying an orphan girl!”
“This betrothal fee can be freely offered by ordinary people in Kyoto, and I don’t know how the Huaihou Mansion is willing to lose face?”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Yang immediately did not care about anything else, and directly said another handle of Wen Xiao, which she was holding, aloud:
“What do you know? It’s not because this woman is no more than an actor, and she is doing low-level deeds. Our Huaihou Mansion’s willingness to fulfill the contract is a great gift!
Otherwise, how can she enter the door of our Huaihou Mansion? I think the old lady is given her a concubine position, which is already cheap for her! “
As soon as Mrs. Yang said these words, the sighs on the side disappeared, but the expressions of others became strange.
Isn’t there something wrong with the mind that the dignified son of Huaihe wants to marry an actor as his wife?
But this old woman even said it out loud in front of people, whether it is a wife or a concubine, it is not very appropriate.
Wen Xiao stood in her drooping sleeves, her fists clenched tightly, even her lips that were originally bright red were turned white by her sip.
Wen Xiao stared straight at Mrs. Yang in front of her eyes, clenching her teeth, as if she could smell the blood, and then she said word by word:
“That’s it, I’m not worthy of the Hou Mansion, so please ask the Hou Mansion to dissolve the marriage contract between me and the Prince, please bear witness!”
Wen Xiao’s eyes were cold and fierce, which only frightened Mrs. Yang so much that she froze for a while, but in the end she became angry again.
It’s just a ten-year-old yellow-haired girl, how could she be frightened by such eyes?
However, she still remembered that the master ordered her to bring the Wen family’s daughter back to the manor, but she must not treat each other like a proper wife.
“Since it is a marriage contract, how can it be easily dissolved?”
“How about the Hou Mansion? Let me take my wife as a concubine?”
“Look at what the girl said, the Hou Mansion signed a marriage contract with the girl with sincerity, but the girl broke the rules first.”
Although Mrs. Yang had just been refuted by Wen Xiao just now, she still had the guts to say her purpose.
“The Wen family doesn’t have a concubine. If you want to force me to be a concubine, then ask the Hou’s residence to hold a funeral!”
“Hmph, once the marriage contract is concluded, you are born from the Hou’s mansion, and die as a ghost of the Hou’s mansion, the girl is impulsive, the old lady can pretend that she didn’t hear it, the pink sedan chair is ready, girl, please!
Since the dowry girl is not satisfied, there is no need to make a dowry for the girl. The old lady will be brought back to the Hou Mansion, come! Take away the dowry gift that should be prepared! What kind of dowry does a concubine want? ! “
As Mrs. Yang said that, as soon as she waved her hand, she saw the bearers and guards tremblingly stepped forward and lifted them up.
Before Wen Xiao could move, Cui Ming stepped forward:
“Is this the rule of the Huaihou Mansion?”
“Who are you?!”
“They are from my town’s Anhou Mansion!”
After receiving the biography from Cui Ming, Jiang Miao almost counted the days with her fingers. When she guessed that it was almost time to arrive today, she hurried to the gate of the city, but did not want to encounter such a scene as soon as she came here. .
Jiang Miao has the amnesty of the Jin Dynasty emperor, and can go anywhere on horseback, even the imperial palace!
Therefore, at this moment, when she was near, she turned over and dismounted, and then Cui Ming stepped forward and whispered a few words in Jiang Miao’s ear, telling what happened just now.
After listening to Jiang Miao, she walked directly to Mrs. Yang with big strides. She didn’t speak, she just looked at Mrs. Yang, but even so Jiang Miao’s majesty was enough to make Mrs. Yang shiver, and then she couldn’t stand it anymore, so she knelt down with a plop. on the ground.
“Slave, I have seen the Marquis of Zhenan!”
According to the decree of the Great Jin Dynasty, the title of Marquis can only be titled with one word, and as soon as the title of Marquis of Zhen’an came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the court and the public.
However, the Marquis of Zhen’an was really outstanding in battle, so even if there were criticisms from the court, they still suppressed it.
Compared to the Marquis of Zhen’an, who got the double-character title by virtue of their military exploits, Marquis Huai was a little underwhelming.
In addition to these, that is Jiang Miao’s own momentum that makes ordinary people fear.
Even this Mrs. Yang was usually a bully and fearful of hardship, and she was a person who tended to become more powerful, so when she saw Jiang Miao, her knees softened and she knelt down.
“Fang Cai, are you trying to force Miss Wen to take his wife as a concubine into your Huaihou Mansion?”
Jiang Miao asked lightly, but Mrs. Yang felt the cold sweat on her temples slid down and knelt on the ground, she didn’t dare to say anything.
Jiang Miao was well aware of Mrs. Yang’s reaction, and she was able to do this only because of the master’s advice.
Jiang Miao sneered, then pulled out the long sword from her waist and threw it towards Xi Tai, who had been lifted by the bearer and guard.
The long sword actually seemed to have eyes, and it never hurt anyone. It went straight through the happy bar hung by the red silk, only to hear a muffled sound, and Xi Tii fell directly to the ground.
“This marquis never thought that the dignified marquis’ mansion is so stingy. The number of Xitai only has five fingers, and even so, it has been withdrawn. Could it be that the Huaihou mansion has already been defeated by you?”
“Hou, Lord Hou is serious…”
The moment Xi Tii fell, Mrs. Yang’s eyelids trembled and she knelt on the ground, not daring to get up and say shiveringly.
“Since the mansion has never fallen, why do you have to take back such a trivial thing, do you say yes or no?”
Mrs. Yang naturally did not dare to say a word, just knelt on the ground and nodded repeatedly:
“Yes yes yes, you said yes!”
“Cui Ming, didn’t you hear that Mrs. Yang has nodded? Why don’t you call someone to put away her things for Miss Wen?”
After Jiang Miao finished speaking, Mrs. Yang had to watch Cui Ming call someone directly and lift the happy falling to the side.
Jiang Miao raised her hand, and the long sword, which had been fixed on the city wall not far away, flew back in an instant. Jiang Miao walked around Mrs. Yang with the sword, and the long sword slightly nodded:
“Why don’t you want to break up the engagement since you think she’s born and feel ashamed?”
Mrs. Yang didn’t dare to speak at all.
“Why, could it be that Ben Hou couldn’t ask?”
“this……”
Madam Yang heard the coldness in Jiang Miao’s words and shrank for a while, and then hesitantly said:
“It’s not like that, it’s just, it’s just… the slave was just ordered to come…”
“Order? Under whose order? What kind of order? Do you want the daughter who has entered into a marriage contract with your prince’s son to take his wife as a concubine and enter your palace’s door?”
Madam Yang had to pretend to be dead when she heard this, but Jiang Miao’s sword would not agree.
She directly touched the sword to the ground, and saw that she did not exert much strength. Mrs. Yang watched helplessly on the official road paved with blue bricks, because Jiang Miao’s long sword touched the ground lightly, and most of it was already submerged. He stared wide and horrified.
“I really can’t say it, I really can’t say it!”
“If you can’t speak, what’s the use of this tongue?”
Jiang Miao estimated the time in her heart and forced Mrs. Yang to say another sentence.
Although she never used lynching, but the pressure of the whole body, Mrs. Yang, who was pressing down, couldn’t breathe, and she only carried it for a few seconds, and Mrs. Yang fell to the ground, lying on the ground and trembling all over.
“Yes, it’s because the Grand Master of the National Teacher’s House gave orders to the prince, only this woman can protect the prince’s life!
However, neither the prince nor the wife is willing to be occupied by a civilian girl as the wife. This slave, slave knows only so much. I beg the Lord for mercy, please forgive me! “
Jiang Miao pulled out the long sword with a cold face, then raised her head and looked at the Prince Huaihou who was not far away with a cold look:
“Huaihou’s mansion is really a good calculus. I saw that the son of Huaihou had a bright face, but he had a vicious heart!”
The Prince of Huaihou staggered over:
“Miss Wen, don’t listen to that old woman’s nonsense! This prince’s heart for you can be learned from the world, and the sun and the moon can be seen!”
“It’s a good world to learn from, the sun and the moon to be seen, but when I went to court just now, I saw someone from the National Teacher’s Mansion went to the Huaihou Mansion to send a message. Dare I ask the Prince of Huaihe to make that message public?”
Of course, the Prince of Huaihou did not dare, and then he talked about him from left to right.
But how could Jiang Miao let him escape like this, she glanced at the shaking that flashed on Wen Xiao’s face, and then said aloud:
“If the prince of Huaihou is unwilling to say it, then the Marquis Guaguai, the message from the National Teacher’s House to the Huaihe House is that if there is no daughter of the North as his wife, there will be no life extension effect! Is it or is it not?!”
The Prince of Huaihou did not expect that Jiang Miao would so unceremoniously expose the matter that he had buried so hard and make it public, and his face was extremely ugly.
“Marquis of Zhen’an, do you really want to be an enemy of my Huaihou Mansion? It’s just a civilian girl. You always treat her with each other. Could it be that you have an affair with her?”
Jiang Miao said simply and neatly:
“Yes, that’s right! You Huaihou Mansion abandoned her like a bad boy, but I think she is like a bright moon in the sky, a pearl in the palm of your hand!
It’s a pity… In order to fulfill the agreement between her father and the prince, she went all the way to the capital to embrace her, full of joy, and wanted to be the wife of the prince, but refused to me with stern words… If that’s the case, the prince doesn’t want to cherish her, so it’s no wonder Ben Hou shot! “
The Prince of Huaihou looked at Jiang Miao fixedly, and after a while he sneered:
“Since this prince is a person, even if this prince kills her, you can’t give her to others!”
“Gift?”
The long sword from Jiang Miao’s waist was unsheathed again, and then a sound of cracking the air sounded, the Prince of Huaihou hurriedly covered his face, but touched the blood on his hand.
“Ah! Marquis of Zhenan! You!”
“How is Ben Hou?”
After Jiang Miao took the sword back, she walked towards the Prince of Huaihou step by step. The long sword made a faint sound in the air, but Jiang Miao’s voice became cold and low at this moment.
“As I said earlier, she and I are the bright moon in my heart, the pearl in my palm, but if you insist on speaking lightly to her, don’t blame me for being merciless!
If you want to insist on marrying her, it’s not impossible, but you marry her to prolong your life, then after the wedding, don’t blame me for going to Huaihou Mansion every day to teach the prince’s martial arts…”
Jiang Miao spoke lightly, but there was a hint of edge in her tone, which made the Prince of Zhenan shudder subconsciously.
The so-called teaching one’s own martial arts, isn’t it to compete with oneself in an open and honest way?
It’s just that the Prince of Huaihou knew that he was called a Jade-faced Little Langjun in the mouth of a noble girl in Beijing, but how could he compare to the famous Jade-faced general at the border.
Her so-called asking for advice is undoubtedly wanting her own life!
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the Prince of Huaihou, and before he could say anything, Wen Xiao stepped forward and blocked Jiang Miao:
“Why is it so troublesome? Although there is a marriage contract, but there are no three books and six rituals, how can such a marriage contract be counted?
Originally, Mrs. Liu said that the prince was seriously ill in bed, so he couldn’t welcome me in person, but now I look at the prince’s words full of anger, and he must have despised me from the beginning. This engagement, let it go! “
After Wen Xiao finished saying this, he directly threw the so-called seal letter that he just wanted to give to Mrs. Yang to Prince Huaihou.
The Prince of Huaihou didn’t want to take it, but this was his private seal. How could he fall into the mud in front of people, so he had to take it back in a hurry.
“Miss Wen, you can think about it. Since Duke Wen entrusted you to me before his death, it is because of my character. Don’t make decisions that you shouldn’t make because of others!”
“Character? Do you dare to ask the prince of Huaihou? He said that he made a marriage contract with my father, but I never saw you when we greeted the relatives. The so-called three books and six rituals, I have never seen you, if it wasn’t for my father’s dying words. , I will never come for this trip to Kyoto.”
“Miss Wen, you can make up for the three books and six rituals. If you don’t think the betrothal gifts are not enough, I will give you the items in the palace treasury for you to choose…”
“No need, although I am a little girl, I can look up and be worthy of the world, gold and silver things, but it’s just a passing cloud, and I don’t care about it in my heart, but it’s a pity that the prince doesn’t even want to give me such a face, so what is there to talk about? other!”
Huaihou Shizi remembered the message from the National Teacher’s Office just now, and couldn’t help but feel annoyed at the slowness of the arrival of the National Teacher’s Office, and froze in place for a while.
However, the Marquis of Zhenan couldn’t beat him, and the Wen family’s daughter in front of him was also a very important treasure to him.
After all, from the moment he learned that Wen’s daughter had entered the capital, he felt as if he had been injected with a steady stream of vitality.
When he lived in Wen’s house for dozens of days, his body gradually recovered, and after that, she experienced years of health. How could he be willing to discard this healthy taste after tasting it?
Marquis Huai stood on the spot, clenched his fists tightly and his teeth rattled. He glanced at Jiang Miao resentfully, but Jiang Miao only looked up lightly, and he hurriedly lowered his face. down.
This town of Anhou is really scary!
“Miss Wen’s words are bad. Since it’s what the elders said, it must be fulfilled. The right way is the order of the parents, and the matchmaker’s words…”
Wen Xiao smiled coldly:
“Dare to ask the prince’s so-called matchmaker’s words?”
“I already told Miss Wen just now that I can make up for everything as long as you want, whether it’s the engagement process or money…”
“But I don’t care.”
When Huaihou Shizi heard Wen Xiao’s words, he couldn’t help but raise his head in astonishment. Although Huaihou’s mansion is now at sunset, there are still noble ladies who are optimistic about it!
And with the warm smile in front of her, she is nothing but a mere actress…
“Yo, you are, you are the Wen family from Liangzhou City. Xiao Wang is polite!”
While talking, I saw a man holding a paper fan, combing his hair in a bun, and tying his hair with a purple jade crown. He came from a distance and gave Wen Xiao a salute, his eyes burning:
“Xiao Wang just looked at it from a distance and felt that with such a figure, there is only Wen everyone! Now, if you look closer, it is indeed you Wen everyone!”
The author has something to say: I left half an hour to revise today, but it’s still not enough.
