Chapter 257: Hydrangea Marriage

The original owner had been in mourning for three years because of the death of her grandparents and had missed the best age for marriage, so she went to the embroidery tower and threw a ball of embroidery to find a husband.

The original owner was very unfortunate. When she threw the hydrangea, she met a group of noble people. The noble people had bad personalities and kicked the original owner's hydrangea as if it were a ball. Finally, the hydrangea was kicked into the arms of a beggar.

The original owner's father was unhappy that a beggar was able to snatch the hydrangea. After all, the marriage rules had already stated that beggars were not allowed to snatch the hydrangea.

But the nobleman was unwilling, thinking that the original owner's father was greedy and vain and looked down on beggars. In order to bring the original owner and the beggar together, he did not hesitate to reveal his identity and arrange a marriage between the original owner and the beggar.

It turned out that this group of nobles came to the emperor from the capital, as well as the emperor's most favored princes and princesses, and the emperor's close ministers.

The original owner "married by imperial order" and married a beggar. The original owner's father felt sorry for her and kept the beggar at home. For the original owner, he sponsored the beggar to go to school for academic examinations.

The beggar had little knowledge, but relying on the emperor's handwritten letters, people believed that he had a deep friendship with the emperor. Relying on this relationship, the examiner gave him an easy pass.

Finally, he successfully entered the palace examination and met the emperor. The emperor had some impression of him. Seeing that he was well-educated, and in order to make him proud in front of the original owner's father and daughter, he appointed him as the new top scholar.

After the beggar became the top scholar, he demoted his wife to a concubine and married the daughter of a high-ranking official, and asked the original owner to serve him and his wife.

The original owner was punished to do the hardest, most tiring and dirtiest work, and was dying at a young age.

The original owner's father was killed by the beggar when he became the top scholar. When the original owner went out to wash the toilet, she happened to meet the princess who forced her to marry the beggar. She was dressed in red and was so beautiful that she stunned everyone.

……

"Shan'er, it's time to toss the ball!"

Zhang Shan looked at the crowds of people downstairs of the embroidery building, all of whom were nearby residents, and of course a few unfamiliar faces.

The marriage proposal ceremony in the embroidery building was held with great grandeur. In addition to those who came to grab the embroidery balls, there were also people who came to watch the fun. There were many people gathered inside and outside.

Zhang Shan was wearing a veil and had cold eyes. She looked at the quarreling crowd below as if she were looking at monkeys.

The last person his sight fell on was the most colorful figure in the crowd, the current emperor's adopted daughter - Princess Qinghe.

Princess Qinghe was called Ning Meng. She was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, pretty and charming, with two deep dimples on her cheeks, and she looked very adorable when she smiled.

"Father, what on earth does the girl from the Zhang family look like? She's even wearing a veil. Isn't she an ugly freak?"

"She must not be as good-looking as you, so she just covered her face to avoid humiliating herself!" The leading man laughed. He was in his forties and well-maintained, but his eyes were cloudy and he could not see clearly what the person in the embroidery building looked like.

"Since we've met, I, Ning Meng, must join in the fun."

Ning Meng was squeezed in the crowd. Because she was pretty, there were many unmarried men in the crowd who came up to her quietly and tried to take advantage of her from time to time.

When the eldest prince saw this, his face turned dark. He fell in love with Ning Meng at first sight and wanted to marry no one else. Now that he saw Ning Meng being bullied, how could he sit still?

The eldest prince squeezed into the crowd and pushed away those who were close to Ning Meng. Many people felt threatened by the eldest prince and did not even dare to catch the bouquet when it was dropped.

In the end, Ning Meng got the hydrangea, "Rong Jing, I got it, give it to you!"

"I don't want it, give it to someone else!"

"You do not want?"

The emperor laughed out loud as he watched from the sidelines, "Ning Meng, whoever grabs the embroidered ball will marry Miss Zhang upstairs."

When Ning Meng heard that he was going to marry Miss Zhang, she had other thoughts and didn't plan to give the hydrangea to Rong Jing.

"How can I, a woman, marry Miss Zhang? I'd better give her to her destined one!"

Then she kicked the hydrangea away, and it fell into the crowd and rolled into the arms of a beggar.

I don’t know when this beggar came.

Seeing the hydrangea fall into the beggar's arms, Zhang's father's face darkened, "How dare a beggar snatch my daughter's hydrangea?"

Zhang's father went down to get the hydrangea back, but Ning Meng was not happy, "Why not? Whoever gets the hydrangea will be Miss Zhang's husband. You don't want to regret it, do you?"

"Beggars are not in the range of marriage selection. Please return the hydrangea to me."

The beggar was obviously unhappy. The Zhang family was a wealthy family in the local area. If he became the son-in-law of the Zhang family, would he still live in the open air?

This was a good opportunity to save decades of hard work. The beggar did not want to give up. He looked at Ning Meng, hoping that Ning Meng would help him.

Ning Meng is the most loyal person. She used to be a member of the lower class and now she cannot stand seeing the lower class people being bullied.

"If you regret it, you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor!"

Father Zhang laughed out loud. The highest-ranking official he had ever seen in his life was the county magistrate.

At this time, the emperor walked out from the crowd like a shining savior.

"Master Zhang, please don't be scornful of the poor and love the rich. I think this beggar will be very successful in the future. This is the son-in-law chosen for you by God. I think you should just accept him!"

"Impossible. We made a rule before we chose our bride that beggars are not allowed to snatch the embroidered bouquet. My Zhang family is kind and generous, and we allowed them to come in to eat and receive the wedding money. He was so ungrateful that he interfered with my daughter's throwing of the embroidered bouquet. I think this beggar is just trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful."

This was indeed the case, but Ning Meng refused to give in. The emperor was reluctant to disappoint his favorite daughter, so he used his status to write an imperial decree to grant marriage to Zhang Shan and the beggar on the spot.

Father Zhang sat slumped on the ground, holding the "imperial edict" with the ink still wet in his hand, wanting to cry but unable to, "I am blind and ignorant, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

At this time, the people around heard the sound, fell to their knees and shouted "Long live the Buddha".

Zhang Shan was still upstairs with a wide view, and could see everyone. The windows of the teahouse opposite were half-open, and people could be vaguely seen inside.

They did not kneel on the ground like the people outside, but instead pulled out sharp blades.

I heard that there was a folk organization called the "White Lotus Sect" that was causing trouble for the imperial court under the banner of restoration.

Zhang Shan didn't expect that she would actually attract them by just revealing a little information.

Downstairs, the emperor granted the marriage and prepared to leave.

"Wait, I am here to greet His Majesty. Since it is His Majesty who has arranged this marriage, I dare not disobey. I also ask His Majesty to be our witness. The wedding wine has been prepared. Please come this way, my dear."

Now that he has interfered in her marriage, it may not be easy for him to leave.

The emperor originally didn't want to stay, but Zhang Shan used some mental hints and he agreed in a daze.

Ning Meng also wanted to attend the wedding. This was the marriage she had arranged, and as a matchmaker, she should get a big red envelope.

But she is a magnanimous person and doesn't bother with those people who are greedy for money and despise the poor and love the rich.

Because the groom was a beggar, the Zhang family called all the beggars in the town. A large group of people came to eat under the same roof with the emperor and his entourage, which was a little unacceptable to the nobles.

Zhang Shan took great pains to bring out the best wine and drinks. Both the host and the guests were happy that night. Ning Meng held the jar of wine tightly and was dragged to the corridor in a daze.

The emperor was also not conscious and was dragged away in a daze. The night was very chaotic, and even Zhang Shan himself was drunk and fell asleep immediately.

When the emperor woke up the next day, he found himself sleeping in a beggar's den, his clothes were disheveled, and his lower body was aching slightly.

Coincidentally, except for the emperor, everyone else received the same treatment.

"It must be Master Zhang's plan!"

"Where's Ning Meng?"

"Oh no, Ning Meng is still at Zhang's house!"

At this time, Ning Meng was sleeping in Zhang Shan’s wedding room, nestling in the groom’s arms and snoring, smacking her lips from time to time, as if she was savoring something?

The emperor and his men came to Zhang's house in a rage, and saw the servants hurrying by. They stopped one of them and asked, "What happened in the mansion?"

The servant turned pale, "It was... our master. Our master drank too much last night and accidentally fell into the water. When he was found this morning, he was already dead!"

The emperor, the eldest prince and others were shocked. They didn't expect that Master Zhang would encounter this. "Take me and let me see!"

The servant hesitated, and the emperor felt that there was something fishy going on, so he pressed him again, "What else?"

"I still have to go find the young lady..."

"Rong Jing, go with her, let's go see Master Zhang."

Rong Jing was thinking about Ning Meng, and he couldn't wait to find Ning Meng. "Have you seen the girl who came with me last night? She was wearing yellow clothes, pretty and cute, with a lively and likable personality..."

The servant shook his head, "I have never seen it."

The two passed by the garden, Rong Jing had sharp eyes and saw something in the flowers?

"Mr. Rong, what's wrong?"

Rong Jing walked forward, parted the flowers, and saw a beautiful woman lying among the flowers. She was pure and elegant, but the wound on her forehead was a little shocking.

"Miss!"

"Someone come quickly!" the servant screamed, but did not forget to reach out to check Zhang Shan's breath.

"The young lady is still alive, someone come quickly, the young lady is injured!"

The servants around gathered together and carried Zhang Shan to a nearby room. Zhang Shan was put on the bed and the doctor arrived soon.

Rong Jing realized at this time that Miss Zhang was here, so who was the one who entered the bridal chamber with the beggar last night?

Thinking of a possibility, he grabbed a maid and forced her to take him to the bridal chamber.

I kicked the door open and saw two people lying naked on the bed.

"Ning Meng!"

He took out his long sword and chopped off the beggar's head. The blood spurted out and woke Ning Meng up. She opened her eyes and saw Rong Jing. She said in surprise, "Rong Jing!"

However, Rong Jing had a dark face and was on the verge of becoming furious.

On the other side, the emperor and others arrived at the hall and saw the swollen body of "Master Zhang". Their doubts were gradually dispelled.

At this time, the people who were sent out to investigate had also returned and learned that everyone who attended the wedding banquet at Zhang's house last night had suffered an accident to varying degrees.

But at the moment, it seems that the worst-off person is Mr. Zhang, who lost his life.

The emperor squeezed his legs together. He was still in pain and wanted to find someone to vent his anger on, but given the current situation of the Zhang family, he could only swallow his anger.

"Have you found all the beggars?"

The man nodded.

The emperor's eyes were fierce, "Don't leave any one alive!"

If they damage his dragon body, they will have no chance of survival!

"These beggars are almost all good friends of the groom. So...how should the groom deal with them?"

The emperor is always used to being implicated, he never expected that a kindness would bring him trouble... The emperor now wishes to kill all the beggars in the world.

"Kill them all!"

The people Zhang Shan invited were all those who had depended on the original owner’s beggar husband in the previous life and helped him deal with shameful things. These people were also the ones who killed the original owner’s father.

My death in this life was not unfair. After all, I had enjoyed the best delicacies in the world. As the saying goes, if you die under the peony flowers, you will be a romantic ghost!

At this time, Rong Jing appeared in the hall holding Ning Meng. Everyone saw Ning Meng's clothes were disheveled and her body was covered in blood, and they all had a bad feeling.

"Father, you have to make the decision for me. That beggar actually bullied me. I am not clean anymore. No one will marry me in the future. Wuwuwu..."

Before Rong Jing could stop her, Ning Meng blew herself up, and the court officials who followed them on the incognito visit were all stunned.

This is not a decent thing, but she said it so carelessly. Princess Qinghe is really ungentlemanly!

Although Rong Jing was heartbroken, he still felt sorry for Ning Meng, "Ning Meng, don't worry, I won't despise you. Others don't dare to marry you, but I will marry you!"

The emperor is also having a headache now. Compared with Ning Meng's experience, his own experience is more distressing. He is an emperor but...

The emperor also found it difficult to speak, and of course, so did other court ministers.

Ning Meng was very moved and jumped directly onto Rong Jing. She accidentally kicked Rong Jing's butt, and Rong Jing grimaced in pain.

Zhang Shan was still in a coma and the funeral of Mr. Zhang had to be put on hold. The emperor investigated over and over again but found nothing. When he was about to return to the capital, he encountered the rebels.

"Emperor Dog, take your life!"

"There's an assassin. Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

Because of the Chrysanthemum Incident, the Emperor's secret guards were severely punished. Now they were protecting the Emperor with injuries. They were no match for the rebels and soon lost the upper hand.

Fortunately, the emperor's reinforcements arrived, and the rebels saw that the situation was not good and ran away.

"Was that a plot by those White Lotus rebels?"

Just to humiliate them?

Obviously, the emperor also believed this statement more. Zhang Shan woke up just as the emperor and others left.

After burying "Master Zhang", Zhang Shan sold her property, packed up her money and fled overnight.

When the emperor came to his senses and wanted to look for Zhang Shan, the Zhang family had already been deserted.

Ning Meng and Rong Jing got married quickly after returning to the capital. One month after their marriage, she was diagnosed with two months of pregnancy. No matter how naughty Ning Meng was, the child stayed safely in her belly.

Every time Rong Jing saw Ning Meng's belly, he became gloomy.

Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. Because of the chrysanthemum incident, the emperor and his entourage were infected with an incurable disease.

As time went on, the disease spread rampantly among the nobles, and more than half of the powerful people in the capital were infected with the disease.

It turned out that a minister in the team loved brothels and especially liked to patronize the top prostitute in Hongxiu Tower. The top prostitute was also a sea king who had connections with powerful people in the capital.

On this day, Ning Meng gave birth to a son. Both of them disliked him, so they threw him to be raised by a couple on the farm.

The two had just resolved their misunderstanding and hadn't started to be sweet and loving when Ning Meng discovered red spots on Rong Jing's body, some of which had begun to fester.

"Rong Jing, what's wrong with you?"

Rong Jing covered his body, "I'm fine, just an allergy, the doctor said it will be fine soon."

Ning Meng believed it, and they loved each other for a while. She also found that she was infected, "Rong Jing, you not only betrayed me, but also infected me with the disease. You are not a human!"

The two quarreled again and finally fought each other. The situation escalated and the fight continued until both of them died.

In the palace, the emperor's symptoms were the most serious than anyone else's, and he had reached a state of mental disorder and even insanity.

The emperor is crazy!

This news was within Zhang Shan's expectations. She took her father Zhang and hid in the mountains, ruling the area as the king. She also did not forget to inquire about the every move of the emperor and others.

The entire dynasty began to decay from the emperor on, but the imperial power was still in the hands of the powerful. Although the country was not in chaos, the imperial power was already becoming unstable.

The White Lotus Sect and others found the right opportunity to revolt among the people, leading their followers to occupy one city after another, occupying half of the territory and establishing their own country.

Zhang Shan, like other common people, had no reaction to this. No matter who was the emperor, they would continue their lives as usual.

Zhang Shan abducted a handsome scholar from the foot of the mountain as her husband and gave birth to a pair of children. Zhang's father teased one and pimpled that child every day, and lived a very happy and comfortable life in his later years.
