The sunset is bright, and the dusk clouds are heavy.

The eyes of the girl in front of her were slightly moist, and there seemed to be tears flickering between her crow's eyelashes. But when people took a closer look, not a single tear fell from her eyes. She raised her dark eyes and pressed her lips into a line, as if she was trying to suppress it.

Whatever emotion you are feeling, don't let it explode.

In the first fifteen years of his life, what Jiang Ling was best at was suppressing his emotions.

She obediently accepted her fate, and obediently studied those complicated and overwhelming things. The third prince was sick and weak, and the sixth prince was lustful, but even so, she never asked about her marriage.

.

In the eyes of outsiders, as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she should be emotionless. She is gentle, well-behaved, and knowledgeable. She will not resist anything.

Including this paper marriage certificate with Bu Zhan.

On the surface, this marriage document is a gift from the Holy One, but anyone with a discerning eye can see Bu Zhan's disloyalty. This marriage may not be the Holy One's intention.

Tan Zhao lowered his eyes and replied calmly: "The prime minister is busy with political affairs and it is difficult to escape for a while. I have specially ordered my subordinates to come and take my wife back to the house."

After getting on Bufu's carriage, no one dared to step forward rashly. The cold wind blew and the carriage curtains were rolled up. Jiang Ling looked sideways and saw dark red clouds and a mess on both sides of the road.

The Jiang family's Qing Dynasty is indispensable, but if she fails to follow Bu Zhan's intention, it will bring disaster to the entire Taifu Mansion.

Thinking like this, her fingers on her knees became tighter and tighter.

She had met Bu Zhan once at a banquet.

Outside the rain-curtained pavilion, the man held an umbrella, and the shadows of flowers passed between his sleeves, leaving behind a faint scent of sandalwood.

He was wearing a blue official robe, which was the same as the courtiers around him, but seemed to be very different.

Jiang Ling didn't see Bu Zhan's face clearly.

I just felt that he was tall and tall, as if he were a fairy.

Just looking at the back, Jiang Ling felt that his appearance was not much different, and he would be at ease as he came. As long as nothing big happened in Bu Mansion, he could still live his life.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped slowly.

As soon as she stepped on her feet, someone immediately came forward to meet her. The person was an older sister-in-law, who was greeting people with a brazier and placing it in the open space in front of her.

The autumn wind blows loudly, and the charcoal fire in the basin makes a "sizzling" sound.

Jiang Ling was puzzled and frowned slightly.

Aunt Fang walked towards the gate with the brazier and immediately cut off her path. The other party looked at Jiang Ling with a fake smile on her face.

She had years of good upbringing, and her figure was extremely upright. Although her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her face was full of dignity and obedience.

Meet such a pair of gentle and clean eyes.

Aunt Fang thought to herself that this lady must be very capable.

So she became even more unscrupulous, pointed to the brazier in front of her, and said in a loud voice: "Madam, don't panic. I heard that you have encountered changes recently. The Bufu specially prepared this brazier for Madam to get rid of the bad luck in the past. Don't throw these things away."

The bad luck will be brought into the new house."

Jiang Ling lowered his eyes, looked at the brazier, and then at the mud spots on the wedding dress. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded cooperatively.

Just when she was about to lift her feet, someone suddenly came forward and threw a handful of rosin powder into the brazier.

The flames made a "crack" sound and jumped up high.

"Miss, be careful——"

Jiang Ling's face turned pale, and he took half a step back with Lu Wu's support.

Almost...just almost, the flames were going to burn her dress!!

She is afraid of fire.

Jiang Ling once experienced a fire when she was a child. In the unoccupied back kitchen, firewood somehow started to burn. After a moment of confusion, the six-year-old girl ran out. But the door was blocked by someone.

It was locked from the outside, and in the light of the sky, the little girl beat the door desperately.

"Help - help me -"

The beam behind her suddenly collapsed, her body shook, and the stars fell down.

She didn't know how long she cried.

She cried so hard that her voice became hoarse and her whole body lost all strength.

She thought she was going to be burned to death.

In the endless darkness, someone finally broke through the rubble and picked her up unconscious. From then on, Jiang Ling became extremely afraid of open flames.

The fire in front of her was burning brightly, and the flames spread over her calves and reached her knees.

The autumn wind blew up thick smoke, and the smell of burning was the same as in her memory. For a moment, Jiang Ling seemed to see the crumbling wall burned by the fire. She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, and her fingertips turned green and white.

Aunt Fang was dissatisfied and urged: "Madam, the auspicious time has passed, why haven't you stepped over?"

Stars and flames hit my face, mixed with the choking smoke and dust, making my eyes dizzy.

As soon as he took a few steps closer, a boundless feeling of fear suddenly swept through Jiang Ling's body.

Lu Wu was heartbroken. Before he could say "Miss", he heard the woman say again:

"Madam, your body is delicate, be careful of getting burned."

"But the stronger the fire burns, the cleaner the bad luck on your body will be. As long as you step over this brazier and cross this threshold, you will put aside the past and become a member of our Bu family wholeheartedly. Madam, you

Do you know?"

Jiang Ling's lips were slightly white and her voice was very soft: "I know."

"Since you have become my family member, I put the Prime Minister first in everything. My Prime Minister is busy with many things every day, and he can't get away today, so he skipped the banquet and worship. Now the time has passed. When you step over this brazier, I will meet you.

I’ll take you to the bridal chamber. Madam, do you have any complaints?”

"No complaints."

The other party smiled with satisfaction.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind made the brazier burn hotter. The bride tentatively raised her legs, and Lu Wu hurriedly bent down to lift the hem of her clothes for her. When she smelled the burning smell, her legs softened.

I almost stumbled into the brazier. I don’t know how long it took, but finally, a congratulation sounded in my ears:

"Welcome Madam——"

She stepped over the brazier.

Jiang Ling closed her eyes, her eyelashes quivering slightly.

Her hands were cold and as if they were dead.

…

Tingyun Pavilion, inside the wedding room.

Sitting on the bed, Jiang Ling's fingers were still cold.

The red candle burned with tears, and Lu Wu on one side was so distressed that she was about to cry. You must know that what her young lady is most afraid of is fire. For this reason, Mr. Jiang also issued a ban. Except for the kitchen, no fires are allowed in other places in the Jiang Mansion.

open flame.

Just as she was thinking about it, the little girl held back her tears and handed over a piece of supa.

"Miss, wipe your sweat. You will have a bridal chamber with the prime minister later, so don't lose your composure."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she quickly fell silent again.

In this world, I'm afraid there is no woman who knows the rules better than Miss.

Jiang Ling took the handkerchief and said calmly: "Luwu, go get a small basin of water. There are still mud spots on my wedding dress that have not been wiped clean. I might offend the Prime Minister."

The other party didn't notice anything strange, so he said "yes" and went out to fetch water with the basin in hand.

Hearing the sound of the door, Jiang Ling's strength finally dissipated. Her abdomen was spasming, and the pain was so painful that sweat broke out on her forehead. She bit her lower lip just now, and there was a bloody smell between her mouth, and outside the window

The wind blew loudly, and she held on to the bed, breathing hard.

My forearms trembled.

The world was spinning before her eyes, which made her feel a chill in her stomach and almost made her sick.

The clear rhombus mirror reflected the bride's pale face.

When Lu Wu came back with a hand basin, Jiang Ling was sitting in front of the mirror touching up her makeup.

Her skills were exquisite, and her eyebrows were drawn in extremely fine detail. Lu Wu also squatted down and gently wiped away the stains on the lady's skirt with water.

As he rubbed it, Lu Wu felt more and more aggrieved, "Miss, please forgive me for talking too much. The Bu family is too bullying. It's obviously a big wedding, so it's okay if you don't come to pick up the bride. How come there are still people who don't even pay homage to the bride?"

And those guys at the door of the house don’t take you seriously at all... Hey, Miss——"

Jiang Ling: "Go get my peach blossom powder."

Lu Wu stood up: "Bu Xiang treats you like this, miss. You don't have to dress up so carefully for him."

Jiang Ling put down the ribbon and said seriously: "Serve your husband with a proper look and manner. It is disrespectful to serve your husband without makeup."

The green grass came to an end for a moment.
