Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

As the lights come on, the streets on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day are like a sea of ​​joy.

On both sides of the street, colorful silks flutter and lanterns hang high, making the night look like a dream.

People coming and going were dressed in their best clothes. The women had their eyebrows slightly raised, their lips lightly touched, their sleeves fluttering in the wind, they held scented fans in their hands, and they smiled sweetly.

The men were either elegant and graceful, or vigorous and heroic, and they were all chatting and laughing.

In the streets and alleys, the hawkers’ shouts can be heard one after another.

The stall selling glutinous rice cakes was filled with fragrance and the colorful glutinous rice cakes made the children salivate.

The girl selling flowers skillfully holds the flowers and calls out in a sweet voice. The flowers are so beautiful that they seem to add color to this romantic night.

Not far away, there stood a colorful building, from which came the cheerful laughter of women.

They were sitting together, threading needles, competing to see who had better skills.

On the other side, a group of children were running and playing happily, holding colorful paper lanterns in their hands, like twinkling stars.

On the stage, the troupe is performing the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The audience is paying close attention, sometimes sighing for their love and sometimes applauding the wonderful performance.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkling on this bustling street, reflecting people's happy faces.

Qingshui County has changed and is no longer as poor and destitute as it once was.

Yan Nansheng took Mo Qing walking on the bustling street, looking here and there curiously from time to time.

Mo Qing was in a good mood when he saw his master's rare childish side, with a smile on his face.

"Young Master, please take a look at my snacks. They are freshly baked and come in various flavors. Would you like one?"

Yan Nansheng walked over to take a look and sniffed, "Not bad, give me some with red bean paste and sesame filling."

"Pack more, there are many people in the family."

"Okay, the young master really cares about his family. He thinks about them every time he goes out to play."

Yan Nansheng, who was praised, held his head high, straightened his back and walked away carrying the packaged snacks.

Mo Qing shook his head helplessly behind him, untied his purse and took out the money resignedly.

The two of them walked to the door of a jewelry store and were about to go in to pick out a few pieces of jewelry for my eldest sister to keep as a new piece.

But he found that the Jiang sisters were also there. Seeing an acquaintance, Yan Nansheng planned to go up and say hello.

"Our brother Bo is a scholar. How can a scholar's sister not even have a decent piece of jewelry when she gets married? Xiu'e is so miserable. Even her sister-in-law doesn't love her."

The eldest sister of the Jiang family got married last year and married a scholar in the county.

The Jiang sisters have saved up a lot of dowry over the years since they started doing embroidery work with Yan Nansheng five years ago.

Xiuniang, who was also a well-known figure in the nearby county, even begged Yan Nansheng to change her name. Jiang Daya was now called Jiang Leling, and Jiang Erya was changed to Jiang Peihan.

Although the Wang family had a scholar, it took the whole family working together to support such a scholar, so the family financial situation was really difficult.

Originally, the two families had little intersection, but fate is so wonderful.

When a customer came to deliver embroidery to the customer's home, she met Wang Bo, who was the customer's family enlightenment teacher, at the door.

In recent years, the Jiang sisters' lives have improved and they have become more beautiful. Because they work as embroidery instructors at the Yan family school, their personalities have also become more quiet.

Jiang Leling had a gentle and generous temperament, which made Wang Bo unable to take his eyes off her.

When he went out, he didn't pay attention to his feet and tripped to the ground, kneeling firmly in front of Jiang Leling.

Both of them were stunned. Wang Bo came to his senses and quickly stood up, not knowing where to put his nervous hands.

Jiang Leling looked up at Wang Bo, and seeing that his face was flushed and he was at a loss, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Hearing Jiang Leling's laughter, Wang Bo's face turned even redder.

Seeing that he was extremely embarrassed, Jiang Leling bowed and walked in without even looking back.

From then on, Wang Bo was absent-minded all day long. He heard that a young lady in the mansion was going to get married and was invited to show off her dowry.

So after school every day he would wait for Jiang Leling on the way out of the house, pretending to meet her by chance.

As time went by, the two gradually became closer and closer, and finally got married.

If we only talk about Mr. Wang, for Jiang Leling, this talented man and beautiful woman is a good match.

Jiang Leling also achieved some success in showmanship. The couple had a promising future and a capable householder, which was a good story.

The bad thing is that the other members of the Wang family are not good people.

A strong and showy mother, a domineering sister, and a cowardly and honest father.

The standard for the best relatives.

When the two got married, the dowry made the scholar's family proud for a long time.

Seeing that his sister-in-law was getting married and the family didn't have much dowry to offer, he started to set his sights on Jiang Leling's dowry.

In the shop, the old woman from the Wang family stared at a set of extremely gorgeous red-gold headdress with shining eyes.

She pulled at the sleeve of her daughter-in-law Jiang Leling and said anxiously, "Leling, look at this red gold headpiece. It will be a very beautiful dowry for Ran'er!"

Jiang Leling looked at the expensive headdress with an embarrassed expression on her face, and whispered, "Mother, this headdress is too expensive, and your daughter-in-law doesn't have enough money on hand."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face suddenly darkened, her eyebrows raised, and her voice raised.

"Humph! You have no money? Then take out the set of pure gold head ornaments from your dowry and give it to my daughter. It's just sitting there unused anyway."

Jiang Leling's heart tightened and aggrievedness surged in her mind, but she still tried to remain calm.

"Mother, that headgear is the dowry given to me by the Yan family. It is their love for me. How can I give it to my sister-in-law so easily?"

"Besides, this dowry is also a support for me in this family."

The old woman from the Wang family refused to give in. She glared at him and said, "You are married into our Wang family, so you are a member of the Wang family. Your things naturally belong to the Wang family. Just take them out if I tell you to!"

Jiang Leling bit her lip and clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, not knowing what to do. The customers around her gave her strange looks.

Jiang Leling took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Mother, since I married into the Wang family, I have been doing my best to manage the household chores and have been very caring towards my sister-in-law. But I really cannot give you this dowry."

The old woman from the Wang family opened her eyes wide with anger and shouted, "How dare you, Jiang Leling, disobey my will! You have to give me this headdress today, whether you want to or not!"

Jiang Leling's tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was filled with tears: "Mom, you can't be so unreasonable."

"It's not that my daughter-in-law is unwilling to contribute to my sister-in-law's dowry, but the headpiece was given by Mr. Yan from the Yan family. I can't give it to others easily. How about we pick out other jewelry with suitable prices?"

The old woman from the Wang family put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly, "Can anything else be as good as this red gold? I don't care, I want your set of pure gold!"

Jiang Leling wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeves, straightened her back and said, "Mother, if you insist on forcing your daughter-in-law like this, then I can only go to the Yan family to inform them and see what they think."

When the old woman from the Wang family heard this, she panicked for a moment, and her tone softened a little: "What are you talking about? I want you to see the emperor. What are you going to say to the Yan family?"

"Besides, the Yan family has already given it to you. It's yours, and you have the final say on how to use it."

Speaking of the Yan family, the old woman from the Wang family became a little timid. When she married her daughter-in-law, she knew that she had a good relationship with the Yan family, and she even boasted about it everywhere.

Now it has become a reason to arrest myself.
