After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again
Chapter 1 The Locked Bridal Sedan
"The guests have not left, and the table has not been dispersed.
I looked for my lover everywhere, but couldn't find him.
I searched for it but couldn't find it.
Anxious monkey, the groom has the letter.
Go into the bridal chamber and take off the veil.
Hijab, oh my god.
Oh my god.
I am a little bad boy. Use your eyes to see,
Hemp face. Stomping nose, split mouth, rolling eyes.
Roll your eyes, roll your eyes..."
The festive music, the high-pitched singing, and the bumpy sedan chair made Tong Jia's already unclear mind even more confused.
She tried hard to open her eyes and see what was going on, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. She tried to open them several times but they wouldn't open.
My head was dizzy and I heard someone outside saying "roll your eyes", and I actually opened my eyes.
After opening her eyes, Tong Jia didn't have time to look at where she was before her stomach started to rumble right along with her eyelids.
"Ugh... ugh..."
I vomited several times, but probably because there was nothing in my stomach, I didn't vomit anything out. However, vomiting did relieve the discomfort in my stomach.
When she looked up again, Tong Jia realized something was wrong.
It was a small, square space, the wood of the sedan chair was all maroon, and the bright red veil fell at the feet.
There was also a brass incense burner under his feet, and just like the one he had just had, his head was covered with a bright red cloth.
Tong Jia raised her arms and looked at herself, also wearing a bright red wedding dress. A single thought crossed her mind: Shouldn't I be sketching in the mountains? How did I suddenly end up here?
It seemed that when she was sketching in the mountains, she was suddenly hit by a rock rolling down the mountain and fell into a coma.
"Could it be that I was crushed to death by rocks and then traveled to this place?" Tong Jia's face changed immediately when she realized that something was wrong. She wanted to push open the sedan door, but she couldn't push it open even if she used all her strength.
Even if she rushed forward with her entire body weight, the sedan door did not budge at all.
When the sedan bearer felt her movements in the sedan, he shook the sedan even harder.
She felt like she was on a roller coaster, completely unable to move.
Tong Jia took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.
At this time, the voice of a middle-aged woman came from outside the sedan chair.
She said, "My dear bride, I know it's not comfortable to be in the sedan chair, but this is the custom here.
Please bear with it for now.
The sedan door won't be locked all the time. The main reason is that we still have to take a boat. If the sedan door is not locked, something bad may happen on the road.
Once you get off the boat, I'll open the sedan door for you.
When the time comes, you can kick out the ashes from the incense burner in the sedan chair, and the sedan bearers will stop rocking it."
"Now that we're off the boat... we still have to keep rocking. Can't we just... stop rocking now? I'm about to... throw up... throw up... throw up... throw up...
If this continues, I guess... I guess... I won’t be able to get there…” Tong Jia said while vomiting.
After calming down, some memories that did not belong to her appeared in her mind.
She also knew that this kind of "shaking the sedan chair" was a custom. She couldn't fight against everyone alone, so she could only try her best to stop shaking it now.
After hearing what Tong Jia said, Xi Po thought for a moment and then shouted loudly, "Everyone, take a break, take a break.
This is a happy occasion after all. If anything happens to the bride, we won't be able to explain to the host family when we get home.
We'll get off the boat later and let you guys have a good time."
Tong Jia took a deep breath and managed to hold back from cursing.
It's not enough. If those who carry the sedan chair have no place to use their strength, they can go to the fields to work. What's the point of torturing a weak woman?
"Tossing the sedan chair" is the first intimidation given by the husband's family to the bride. The sedan bearers and the matchmaker all receive money from the husband's family, so naturally they will not listen to the bride's opinion.
But Tong Jia's current body is for marrying far away, and if she really has a bumpy journey, she really can't bear it.
Tong Jia even suspected that the original owner of her current body was killed in this sedan chair.
Soon, under the persuasion of the matchmaker, the sedan bearers really started to carry the sedan properly.
Tong Jia also got the opportunity to think carefully.
Just now, some strange yet familiar memories appeared in her mind.
Rong Xintong is the daughter of a private school teacher. She was taught from childhood to obey her father at home, her husband after marriage, and her son after her husband's death.
She got engaged at the age of thirteen, and her fiancé was two years older than her.
Originally, they had planned to get married when she reached the age of 15, but her fiancé was admitted to the provincial normal school two years later and refused to get married as planned no matter what.
Her mother wanted to cancel the engagement, but her father said that it was a sign of a man's ambition and that he could not give up such a good candidate for son-in-law.
So she waited for another three years.
Rong Xintong is now eighteen years old, which is actually an old girl in 1930.
The night before her wedding, her father talked to her for a long time, repeatedly admonishing her that after marriage, she must "regard her husband as her God."
To the point that her mother had no time to teach her what to pay attention to on her wedding night.
Before getting into the bridal sedan, her mother casually handed her a booklet and asked her to study hard in the sedan.
However, the sedan bearer shook the sedan too hard and she lost her grip, causing the booklet to slip through the gap in the sedan.
This made Rong Xintong extremely anxious.
She was too shy to speak out, and worried that she hadn't learned it yet and would displease her husband that night. She fainted from anxiety and shame.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become Tong Jia.
The reason why this memory is unfamiliar is that it is not Tong Jia’s own experience.
Some people say that this memory is familiar because Tong Jia had heard her grandmother's neighbor tell her about it several times.
That was when she was a child. Her parents were in the process of starting a business and had no time to take care of her. Her grandmother was a bit patriarchal, so they sent her to her grandmother's house to ask her grandmother to help take care of her.
My grandmother is a widow, and her neighbor, Grandma Rong, is also a widow. The two old ladies often work and chat together.
Older people always can't help but reminisce about their youth.
She had heard Grandma Rong talk about her nervousness before getting married several times.
But every time she finished saying this, she would say self-deprecatingly, "Maybe God knew I wouldn't need that booklet, so he didn't let me read it."
After that, she and her grandmother would fall into a long silence.
Grandma Rong passed away when she was in the third grade of elementary school.
When her grandmother was weaving a basket, she told her about Grandma Rong's experience.
At that time, my grandmother said: "Your grandmother Rong had a miserable life. She married a man, but he ran away on the wedding night.
She had been away for more than 20 years, taking care of the whole family at her husband's house, waiting for her husband to come back.
As a result, the man did come back, and he came back specifically to divorce her.
Even the senior leaders above wrote something, asking the government on her husband's side to cooperate.
How could she, a woman, resist?
The arm was no match for the thigh, and they ended up getting divorced.
But her mother-in-law couldn't bear to let her go, so she insisted on keeping her, saying that she would treat her like her own daughter.
She was reluctant to leave the place where she had lived for more than 20 years.
She just stayed there like that for five or six years without any status, and her mother-in-law was gone too.
It happened to be a difficult year, so her in-laws sent her directly back to her parents' home.
Since she got married, she has never returned to her parents' home.
At the beginning, her in-laws were worried that she would never go back to her parents' home, so they didn't let her go.
Later, the river channel was paved into a road. It used to cost only ten cents to take a boat round trip, but later it cost sixty cents to take a bus, as she had no money, so she never came back.
After more than 20 years, when she comes back, where is there any place for her in her parents' home?
She begged for food along the way, wanting to return to her husband's family, find the government that handled her divorce, and ask the government to give her an explanation.
The government had no choice but to try to contact her divorced husband.
But people in the capital said that Chen Shimei had become an ambassador of some kind and they couldn't contact him.
In the end, it was the senior leader who found out and solved the problem for her.
At that time, your uncle was getting married, and we wanted to build a new house for him, so the villagers asked us to help build a house for her as well.
Your sister-in-law thought she was unlucky and didn't want to be her neighbor, so we moved to a new place.
She will remain a girl all her life, and everyone who mentions her says she is pitiful.
But if you ask me, she is just a stubborn person.
When she first got divorced, she was less than 40 years old. She could have found another man and still lived a good life.
But she was tricked by her mother-in-law into staying and working as a nanny in their family.
When I came back, I was almost fifty years old, and life was not easy at that time.
If your uncle and aunt hadn't already arranged their marriage, I wouldn't have given him a wife at that time..."
Later, grandma talked a lot about her uncle and aunt, but those things were irrelevant to Tong Jia’s current situation, so Tong Jia didn’t continue to recall them.
Tong Jia saw through the gap in the sedan window that they had arrived at a big river and knew that the sedan was about to be boarded by a boat.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the sedan bearers carried the sedan properly, she still felt dizzy.
I don’t know if it was because she hadn’t recovered from the shaking just now, or because she got into the sedan chair so early in the morning and didn’t even have a sip of water to drink.
After getting on the boat, the boatman chatted with the matchmaker.
From the conversation between the two, Tong Jia learned that it was not Grandma Rong, but the man she was going to marry now, whose name was Yang Jixia, a famous young man in the surrounding villages.
Combined with the memories in his mind, this Yang Jixia is most likely the "Chen Shimei" who made Grandma Rong waste her life.
Tong Jia felt that as an aspiring young man who had accepted new ideas and new culture, and who would firmly resist old-fashioned marriages, Yang Jixia would be very willing to set herself free as long as she expressed to him on their wedding night that she did not want this marriage either.
But when I think of Grandma Rong’s father on her mother’s side, no, now it’s my own father on her mother’s side.
He is a conservative old-fashioned person. He would definitely not be able to accept it if I went home the day after my wedding.
Besides, she is not Grandma Rong.
Even if the Rong family could accept her, she couldn't do what Grandma Rong did, staying in the Rong family without leaving the house, waiting for the Rong family to find her next husband.
So, she decided that as soon as she saw Yang Jixia on her wedding night, she would not only express her desire for divorce, but also find a way to get him to take her with him.
Of course, I won't always rely on him.
As long as she understands the current situation and the background of the times, and relies on the historical knowledge she has learned and the dowry given to Grandma Rong by the Rong family, she should be able to seek benefits and avoid harm in this era and live very well.
Speaking of dowry, Tong Jia began to try hard to recall what her dowry included.
His father, a private school teacher, gave him sixteen pieces of calligraphy and paintings as a dowry. Except for one painting of "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren" which he copied himself, the other fifteen were all from famous artists.
There are Zhang Xu's "Ping'an Tie", He Zhizhang's "Book of Filial Piety", Wu Daozi's "Heavenly King Delivering a Child", Mi Fu's "Shu Su Tie", Wang Meng's "Danshan Yinghai Tu", Dong Qichang's "Album of Eight Scenes of Autumn", Qi Baishi's "Gourd Picture" and "Maid Holding a Lute Picture".
My mother gave me a dowry of six quilts and six blankets, two gold bracelets, two silver hairpins and thirty Yuan Datou coins.
Tong Jia thought: The six mattresses and six covers and those calligraphy and paintings are not easy to take away, but the gold bracelets, silver hairpins and Yuan Datou must be taken away.
However, those calligraphy and paintings are priceless, and it would be a pity to throw them away like this. I hope Yang Jixia can help me find a proper place to preserve them.
Wait until the world is at peace before taking it out.
Even if Yang Jixia asked him to give him half of it at that time, it would be fine.
There is no need to hide the six beddings and six blankets, as they will not be used for a long time. Just leave them to the Yang family. Before leaving, you can ask the Yang family for the corresponding expenses.
She pulled out a silver hairpin from her hair, pricked the skin a little on each of her fingers, and dipped the silver hairpin and gold bracelet in blood, but there was no change.
"Oh..." Tong Jia sighed softly.
Unwilling to accept the situation, she thought to herself: How come others can find space when they travel through time, but I can't? Is it because her method of traveling through time is wrong, or is it because her method of finding space is wrong?
If she had space, she wouldn't have to give up the six beddings and six quilts, nor would she have to ask Yang Jixia for a way to hide the books and paintings.
If Yang Jixia is too selfless, he won’t be able to keep any of his paintings or calligraphy.
Thinking of this, she felt even more that Yang Jixia should not know about the calligraphy and painting.
Looking up at the top of the sedan chair, Tong Jia seemed to have thought of something. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and then silently said, "To all the gods and ghosts passing by in heaven and on earth, I have never done anything bad in my life. Suddenly, I traveled to a war-torn era. I really can't survive without space.
Since you are willing to give me a chance, can you provide me with the auxiliary plug-in "Space"?
Please, no matter who can provide me with a space, I am willing to fulfill his one request.
Amitabha, Wuliang Tianzun, all gods and ghosts, please, please! "
After praying, Tong Jia opened her eyes, thought for a moment, and then drew a prince on her chest. She began to pray to Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The content of her prayer was the same as before, except that she ended with "Amen!"
