Almanac

Zhu Xuanyu, born in Taiyang, Pingzhou, was born in Xianyang 39702 and died in Xianyang 39720.

This Xianyang is naturally the calendar of the underworld, which is different from the mortal world.

However, it can still be seen that this woman named Zhu Xuanyu was only eighteen when she died.

Zhu's family is an ordinary wealthy family in the county town. They have some farms in their family, and they hire people to take care of them.The master of the Zhu family has a generous personality, and his wife is also a charitable person. The two have a harmonious relationship and have a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter is Zhu Xuanyu.

Zhu Xuanyu was well-loved at home, and her younger brother was born when she was five years old, and she never received any attention because of it.

On the contrary, Zhu Xuanyu liked this younger brother very much, and when he couldn't leave, she played with him.When her brother was able to walk steadily, she carefully took him to play.

Naturally, the younger brother also likes to follow Zhu Xuanyu the most.

However, until Zhu Xuanyu was nine years old.

An epidemic took away Zhu Xuanyu's younger brother and mother directly.

Even her father, after that, was depressed and became weaker and weaker. When she was ten years old, she contracted a cold again and couldn't survive it.

Zhu Xuanyu's father was single-branched. Not to mention brothers, he didn't even have cousins. Only one cousin married into the Chen family.Zhu Xuanyu's father knew that he was running out of time, so he insisted on taking care of the family property, and entrusted Zhu Xuanyu to this cousin together.

Although Zhu Xuanyu is young, she has a strong temper.

When the Chen family sent someone to pick her up for the first time, she promised to keep her father's filial piety for three years.Although Mrs. Chen was worried, seeing Zhu Xuanyu's persistence, she finally retained a few capable people to stay with Zhu Xuanyu for three years.

Until Zhu Xuanyu was about to leave his filial piety, the Chen family came to pick him up for the second time.

This time, apart from Mrs. Chen coming in person, the only young lady of the Chen family, Chen Wanrou, was also accompanying her.

At that time, Zhu Xuanyu was 12 years old and Chen Wanrou was [-] years old. They greeted each other during Mrs. Chen's speech, and they were called sisters. No one knew what kind of entanglement they would have in the future.

After that, Zhu Xuanyu lived in the Chen family and became the cousin of the Chen family.

Chen Wanrou is the only girl in the Chen family's generation. Although she has a good relationship with the three brothers, there are differences between men and women. When she heard that such a cousin was coming, she had long been looking forward to it.

After finally waiting for Zhu Xuanyu to move in, she went to play with her every day.Zhu Xuanyu didn't talk much, but Chen Wanrou didn't think she was bored, she could talk happily by herself.

What's more, Chen Wanrou is so cute, her big eyes are extremely energetic, and she is born with a three-point smile. Even Zhu Xuanyu, who cares about her status as a sojourner, is always relaxed by her few words.

In a short period of time, the two cousins ​​became acquainted.

It even made the young masters of the Chen family feel like their sisters were snatched away.

However, the Chen family also admired Zhu Xuanyu.

Chen's house is located in Qingping County, five or six days' carriage ride away from Zhu's house.The Zhu family has no other elders, and after Zhu Xuanyu came to the Chen family, Mrs. Chen Zhang Luo should worry about the marriage, and it is impossible to still take care of the original Zhu family's old property.

Therefore, Master Zhu sold various farms one after another, bought a shop in Qingping County, two Zhuangzi, and exchanged the rest for silver.These will be Zhu Xuanyu's future dowry.

It would be common sense for Zhu Xuanyu to live in the inner courtyard after arriving at Chen's house, learn some things about female housekeepers, and wait to get married.

However, Zhu Xuanyu is not like this.

She first insisted on keeping filial piety for three years.In the past three years, although there were people from the Chen family to help, Zhu Xuanyu was the only master in the end. She managed everything clearly at a young age, and she could endure loneliness and poverty.

Then when she arrived at Chen's house, she also asked for a courtyard with a side door, and she also met several servants in the village and the shopkeeper.Although there is no major move, the annual surplus has increased in the past few years.

In the words of Mr. Chen, with Zhu Xuanyu's ability and the support of the Chen family, even if she wanted to recruit a daughter-in-law for the Zhu family, she had to.

However, no one expected that the accident happened just like that when Zhu Xuanyu was 16 years old.

Mrs. Chen took Zhu Xuanyu and Chen Wanrou to the famous Chongshan Temple on the outskirts of Qingping County to offer incense.The scenery of the back mountain of Chongshan Temple is also very pleasant. After Mrs. Chen donated the incense money, when talking to the Zen master, Zhu Xuanyu and Chen Wanrou went to the back mountain for a walk.

However, it had just rained in Chenshi, and the mountain road was slippery, and Chen Wanrou sprained her foot accidentally.

Fortunately, there was a small pavilion nearby, Zhu Xuanyu helped Chen Wanrou to sit there, and asked the maid who came up with the two of them to go downstairs to find help.

The mountains are silent, only a string of birds chirping is crisp and melodious.

Following the two maidservants, one went down the mountain, and the other looked anxiously at the fork between the pavilion and the mountain road. Only Zhu Xuanyu and Chen Wanrou were sitting in the pavilion.

Chen Wanrou is 14 years old, and she has been pampered and protected since she was a child.Her ankle was severely sprained. Seeing that she was in excruciating pain, Zhu Xuanyu carefully knelt down and pressed her gently, but did not dare to use force, for fear of hurting somewhere else.

There was no one around, and even the maid over there couldn't quite hear what was going on here. Chen Wanrou watched Zhu Xuanyu keep squatting and kneeling, her eyebrows drooping with incomparable patience.

She couldn't help asking: "Sister Xuanyu, do you know why your mother came to Chongshan Temple this time?"

Zhu Xuanyu's movements paused for a moment, and then resumed: "Zhou Jia Erlang."

Even though the marriage age for women in this dynasty is relatively loose, Zhu Xuanyu is already 16 years old, which is the age that should be considered.

Chen Wanrou stared blankly at Zhu Xuanyu and murmured: "So my sister knows?"

Zhu Xuanyu raised her head in doubt, and found that Chen Wanrou's eyes were red again, and asked quickly: "What? Did I hurt you?"

Chen Wanrou just shook her head.

Zhu Xuanyu looked at the injured ankle again. Although she was wearing socks, she could still see that the ankle was severely swollen.It's just that the maid who was looking for someone hasn't come back yet. She looked up at the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain again. She gritted her teeth and turned her back: "It's not a good day. I'll carry you and go down the mountain first."

Chen Wanrou opened her eyes wide, and finally said: "No, this mountain road is difficult, you—"

Before she finished speaking, she only saw Zhu Xuanyu turned her head to look at herself, her usually cold eyes revealed a soft color that only she could see: "Come up."

These two words definitely reassure Chen Wanrou.

Chen Wanrou pursed her lips, and was finally defeated by Zhu Xuanyu's eyes. She supported the stone table and stood up, lying on Zhu Xuanyu's back.

Zhu Xuanyu's body was bent for a moment, and soon she clasped Chen Wanrou's legs with both hands, and stood up straight again: "Hold on firmly." She did not forget to remind her.

always like this.

Chen Wanrou's eyes were sore again, and the hand on Zhu Xuanyu's neck tightened for a moment, and finally she couldn't help but said: "Zhu Xuanyu, the book you returned the day before yesterday—"

Following Zhu Xuanyu's sudden stop, Chen Wanrou didn't finish her sentence, but both of them understood the meaning of the words.

However, Zhu Xuanyu didn't speak, just paused for a while and then moved on.

Chen Wanrou closed her eyes: "Are you so afraid of what the world won't tolerate?! Then you can see me marrying someone else, and from now on, you will be on par with others?"

Only the wind responded to Chen Wanrou.

Zhu Xuanyu's steps are not big, but every step is very steady, like a heart sinking to the bottom.

The maid at the fork in the road had already seen the movement here, and rushed over to protect her.

Zhu Xuanyu finally spoke, but told the servant girl to follow closely, and it will rain.

Chen Wanrou also stopped talking.

After walking for a short time, they ran into the servant girl of the Chen family who was looking for her.

The way down the mountain was not long, but Zhu Xuanyu's strength had been exhausted during this section, so naturally a strong and strong servant girl came to change hands and carried Chen Wanrou on her back.

The daughter was injured, and there was no doctor in the temple, Mrs. Chen had no choice but to have a quick chat with Mrs. Zhou's family, and said goodbye to each other and returned home.

Chen Wanrou's boudoir was in a mess, and she had to ask the doctor to look after her wounds, coming and going.Mrs. Chen was worried about her daughter, so she asked Zhu Xuanyu to go back to her small courtyard to rest for a while.

Zhu Xuanyu returned to the house where she lived for four years, and walked to the study unconsciously.

There was a book on the table, she picked it up unconsciously, and turned to that page.

There is a sentence in it, "From now on, the green temples will look at the grass, the red sleeves will add fragrance, the relatives will be suspicious of immortals, and the article will be in Huaguo".There are two delicate small characters written next to it: "How are you?"

Zhu Xuanyu has read these two words many times.

I don't know how long it has passed, but a maid came in and it was Mrs. Chen who invited her over.

Zhu Xuanyu soon arrived at the main courtyard.

Seeing Mrs. Chen's relaxed expression, Zhu Xuanyu knew that Chen Wanrou should be fine, but she still couldn't help asking: "Tanggu, are Wanrou's feet okay?"

"The doctor has already set her bones and prescribed a prescription, saying that she will be fine after taking three doses and resting for a month." Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "It's also hard for you to carry her for such a long walk, otherwise it will really rain. "

"It should." Zhu Xuanyu felt relieved.

But, of course, that's not what Mrs. Chen said to her: "Today, you also met that Zhou Jiaerlang. I think he has a generous temperament and is handsome, but I don't know what you think?"

Zhu Xuanyu has always been very thoughtful, Mrs. Chen is not his parents, so naturally she wants to ask her what she thinks.

But Zhu Xuanyu did think of those two sentences Chen Wanrou said, as well as the words on the booklet.

"Xuanyu?" Seeing that Zhu Xuanyu was silent, Mrs. Chen called out in confusion.

Zhu Xuanyu's heart sank, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were already firm: "Aunt Tang, after much deliberation, Xuanyu decided to set up a female household. The Zhou family... probably won't agree."
