Chapter 1 A Marriage
Author: Bai Xiaoyuan
The ninth day of June is a very good day.
The almanac says "it is time to get married" and "it is time to be buried".
Shen Yuyao, the most favored daughter-in-law of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, got married.
Shili Hongzhuang, married to Li Anlin, a newly discovered beauty.
In the capital, no matter who heard about this marriage, they all praised it as "a perfect match."
Needless to say, Shen Yuyao is a pair of beautiful men and women, the only daughter of Xuanping Marquis Shen Ji. She has three brothers above her head. All of them are promising. They are born with golden branches and jade leaves holding golden keys. She is also very beautiful. Gentle and elegant, he is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Although Li Anlin came from a poor family, he was a rare talent that could not be seen in a century. He wrote colorful articles and was a protégé of the emperor hand-picked by the emperor.
Both families were extremely satisfied with the marriage.
The wedding team scattered the wedding money like red rain from the sky.
The wedding ceremony was carried from Mingyue Lane, where the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was, to Niujiao Lane, where the Li family lived, and it was endless as far as the eye could see.
At dusk, the sedan chair was carried to the door of Li's house. The gongs and drums of Li's house were beating loudly. The bride and groom happily worshiped heaven and earth and entered the bridal chamber.
The groom, Li Anlin, had a happy face and was surrounded by others as he left and went to the front hall to entertain guests.
The bride, Shen Yuyao, was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with a hijab on her head, and sat on the wedding bed and tent with joy.
When it got dark, Shen Yuyao's dowry mother, Mrs. Zhang, walked out of the new house with a smile, went back to the house in the dark, picked up a green skirt, and walked into the penthouse next to the wall.
In the corner of the ear room, a dim oil lamp was lit. The outside of the oil lamp was covered with black gauze. It was kept outside the room and no light could be seen.
A young girl sits hugging her knees by the lamp. Just by looking at the profile of her face, you can tell that this girl is extremely beautiful.
Seeing Zhang's mother come in, the girl raised her eyes, and saw a pair of clear apricot eyes, reflecting the light of the candlelight, sparkling, clear and pure, as if she had a penetrating insight into the human heart.
Zhang’s mother sighed secretly, these eyes looked very much like the late Madam An of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
It’s no wonder that the ancestors of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, as soon as they saw her, urged Xuanping Marquis to capture her son-in-law and marry the mistaken daughter Shen Yuyao next door to make room for her. Take him back to the house.
Mother Zhang knew the person in front of her not because she was the real daughter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion who was living abroad.
It's that she once did him a big favor and owed him a favor.
Therefore, when she came to her door a few days ago, Zhang's mother responded and secretly returned the favor today behind her little master's back.
"Lingxi, do you really want to do this?" Zhang's mother looked worried, with real concern in her eyes, "Tomorrow the Marquis will take you back to the house. This fake daughter's marriage was chosen by the Marquis after thousands of choices. If I have been disturbed by you, and the Marquis knows that your life will not be easy when you return home."
The girl stood up, took the green skirt from Zhang's mother, winked at her, smiled and reassured her: "Mom, please don't worry about me. Since I asked you to help me, I must have thought about this matter carefully."
She took out a handkerchief embroidered with magnolia flowers from her sleeve and waved it in front of Mother Zhang.
The fragrant magnolia aroma instantly flooded into Zhang's mother's nostrils.
However, within a few breaths, Mother Zhang felt her head was dizzy and her vision suddenly became blurry.
Before she passed out, she only heard the girl whisper: "In order not to hurt my mother, I have to sleep on the ground for half an hour..."
…
A quarter of an hour later.
In the new house, Shen Yuyao was sitting on the wedding bed, with the bright red hijab blocking her sight. The unfamiliar scent of magnolia in her breath made her a little drowsy.
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open from the outside, and a gust of cool breeze blew by. The pair of dragon and phoenix wedding candles on the dressing table made two "crackling" sounds and the candles exploded.
The visitor gently closed the door and walked to the wedding bed in small steps and stopped.
Shen Yuyao looked at the familiar green skirt in her sight, and reluctantly cheered up, "Bixi, I'm so sleepy, let Bizhu stay outside. Sit down and lean on me for a while."
A female voice chuckled in her ear, "Girl, don't be busy sleeping, there is time to sleep tonight."
"Who are you?"
This is not Bi Xi's voice, Shen Yuyao asked in shock, about to lift the hijab to see who it was.
But his hand was suddenly grabbed by a pair of soft hands, and he was twisted neatly behind his back.
"Save...well..."
When she opened her mouth to call for help, the man pulled off her hijab with a "swipe" and put the mouth cloth into her mouth.
The sudden bright light made Shen Yuyao's eyes flash, and when she fixed her eyes, she saw a girl with skin as white as snow, with a clear face, as beautiful as if she had stepped out of a painting, standing in front of her bed.
The girl was wearing a tourmaline green skirt, and her beautiful eyes as clear as glass were looking at her.
It's a woman.
This realization made Shen Yuyao feel relieved.
"Uh!" She stared at the girl and let out a dissatisfied whine, "Uh! Uh! Uh!" (Let me go)
"Shh..." The girl's onion-like fingertips made a "silence" gesture in front of her lips.
He reached out and pulled off a piece of red silk from the side, and quickly tied Shen Yuyao into a rice dumpling and tied it to the head of the Babu bed.
He is so skillful in tying people up, could he be a female snitch?
Shen Yuyao's eyes showed timidity.
The girl smiled at her, her voice was soft and gentle, "Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not here for you, but for your husband. You will know later that this is best."
When she smiled, her watery almond eyes slightly rippled. There were two shallow pear dimples on her lips, lining her hibiscus-like face, like water lilies blooming quietly at night.
It is beautiful and has a cool and delicate color.
Shen Yuyao always felt that she was good-looking, but now, she felt a little ashamed of herself.
"I'm here for your husband."
The meaning of this sentence... Could it be that Li Anlin secretly raised her in the outer room outside?
Shen Yuyao's heart ached at the thought of this possibility, and her eyes instantly filled with a layer of mist.
Soon, everyone in the capital will know that she is just a false daughter who was mistakenly taken in by the Xuanping Houfu.
If you have such a beautiful concubine and you are not loved by your husband after marriage, your whole life will be ruined.
The girl seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, a flash of pity flashed in her eyes, "Girl, don't be sad, your husband is not a thing, it's okay if you don't want him."
Before Shen Yuyao understood what she meant, she saw the other party squatting down, groping under the bed, and suddenly pulled out an object that was a person long and tightly wrapped in red silk.
With a "hiss" sound, the top of the red silk was torn open by her force, revealing a pale and withered woman's face!
Yes, it’s a female corpse!!!
"Ugh!!!!!!"
Shen Yuyao opened her eyes wide in fear. She had never seen such a horrifying scene before, and her back and scalp were numb.
She struggled wildly, but her body was tied tightly to the bedside with red silk and she couldn't move at all.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
The girl comforted her in a low voice, as if she was used to such scenes. She winked slyly at Shen Yuyao, neatly peeled off the red silk wrapping the body, and took out some bottles and jars from the small baggage she carried with her.
While smearing the face of the female corpse, she whispered: "She is also called Yaoniang. She is from Su City. She has no father, mother, or brothers and sisters. She opened an embroidery shop in Su City by relying on the Su embroidery passed down from her ancestors."
Shop. Five years ago, when she got married to Li Anlin, Li Anlin was still a poor scholar copying books for others."
"Over the years, Yao Niang has provided food and clothing for Li Anlin and his mother Li, provided him with the best academies, and served his mother for him. When Li Anlin was named on the gold medal list, she thought that she would be successful from now on, and she would be the most beautiful lady in the future.
All the belongings came to Beijing...unexpectedly, in exchange for a foot of red silk in Li Anlin's hands, she was strangled to death in the house on Qinghua Lane in the east of the city."
The girl's voice was soft and ethereal, and she recounted Yao Niang's life story, making Shen Yuyao forget her struggle for a moment.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the pale and withered female corpse became alive under the application of the girl's skillful hands. Her skin was like gelatin, her cheeks were like peaches and plums, and her lips were painted with red... It was as if she was about to open her eyes.
As if alive.
"Yao Niang, you've put on your makeup and it's time to get up!" The girl helped the female body up, straightened her messy temples wrapped in red silk, and praised with a smile: "You look the best today, since it is Li Anlin's happy day.
, we have to go to the front hall to get a wedding drink anyway."
As she spoke, the girl pulled out a few extremely thin red threads from the corpse's bright red wedding dress and tied them to her fingertips.
Shen Yuyao discovered in horror——
The girl didn't know what method she used. The finger tied with a red thread moved slightly, and the body seemed to suddenly come to life and started to move with her!
Fraud...fraud!!
This is a ghost...a ghost!
Shen Yuyao was so frightened that her whole body tensed up and she leaned desperately against the bed, almost fainting from fear!
The girl smiled at her, as if she had thought of something, and reached out to pull the red hijab that had just been casually thrown on the wedding bed into her hand.
It’s Shen Yuyao’s red hijab.
"Let us use this." The girl comforted her warmly: "Don't be afraid, girl. Only people who have done bad things will be afraid of ghosts. Your two girls will wake up in a while, and they haven't had their wedding yet.
, girl, you better think about it, do you still want this man? If you insist on continuing to live with him, and one day you become Li Anlin's second 'Yao Niang', remember to come to Fuan Tang in Wangxian Village in the east of the city, I will give you
Price for regular customers!"
After that, she put Shen Yuyao's hijab on the female corpse's head, "snuggled" with the female corpse, opened the door, and walked out...
