Destiny in this life: Sisterly love is deep and dreams are sweet

The day finally came when Lu Hongye married He Yuwei. On that day, the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Everything was filled with red silk and satin, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles. Everyone is more or less wearing a red head flower or a red ribbon.

Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua both wore pink pleated skirts and pink hairpin rings. They were very gorgeously dressed. After all, it was a big day.

The surrounding servants were busy. A few days ago, when He Yuwei's dowry was carried into the Hou Mansion, Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua saw that the whole yard was full of big red boxes, which contained various precious jewelry, silk and satin, and various ancient books. Calligraphy and painting, etc.

Both of them were dumbfounded. It turned out that this was the ten-mile red makeup used by women in ancient times to get married. This was really a great experience.

"I thought that in modern times, a house, a car, and a few sets of decent jewelry would be a luxurious dowry. As expected, I am still superficial."

Lu Wanxi pressed her frightened chin back and said, "Little money lover, you will also have it when you get married. Maybe it will be richer than this?"

"Although I don't know exactly what's inside, looking at the box, I think it's pretty good and very festive."

"In ancient times, a woman's dowry was private property that men could not touch. It also gave a woman confidence in her husband's family. The more dowry, the more straight her back would be in her husband's family."

Lu Yanhua crossed his arms and said, "Only rich people can afford it, ordinary people don't have this need."

"Let's go!"

"Ok!"

At the request of Mrs. Lu, Lu Hongye was ordered to welcome the bride in person. Originally, according to the status of the two families, it was entirely possible for He Yuwei's brother to send He Yuwei to the Marquis of Xiangyang Mansion in marriage. However, in order to show that the Fan Yang Lu family valued the He family, Mrs. Lu still ordered Lu Hongye to go to the wedding in person.

When He Yuwei went out, she covered her face with a fan and was supported by Xi Niang. When you go out, you can't look back. Once you step out of the He family, there is no room to look back.

After getting on the big red sedan chair, 16 people carried it, and Lu Hongye rode in front. This wedding was very grand and attracted many people to watch.

Lu Hongye, who was walking at the front, was wearing a wedding robe and could not see any happiness on his face. At this time, his mind was full of the scene when he married Cui.

But now, he is marrying a wife again, and it is a woman he has never met before, and it is the order of his parents and the words of a matchmaker.

Arriving outside the Marquis of Xiangyang's Mansion, He Yuwei got off the sedan chair. Lu Hongye took the red lead from Xi Niang's hand and then handed the other end to her.

He Yuwei held the round fan in her left hand and continued to cover her face. She took Qianhong in her right hand and walked into the Hou Mansion together.

Step over the brazier and pray for a prosperous life in the future, to carry on the fire and get rid of the bad things in your body.

Under the watchful eyes of all the guests, the two walked into the main hall. Mrs. Lu sat in the main seat, and the other seat was reserved for the deceased Mr. Lu.

Sitting on the left were Lu Hongrui and Lin, and on the right were the elders of the Fan Yang Lu clan.

Next, they worship in the high hall, serve tea, the couple bows to each other, and then they are sent to the bridal chamber.

Juniors like Lu Yanhua could only stand aside and watch the ceremony. Lu Yanhua burst out laughing when she saw her grandmother, uncles and aunts. Looking at today's protagonist, Lu Hongye, his face couldn't be said to be sad, but it couldn't be said to be happy.

When they arrive at the wedding room, the newlyweds sit on the wedding bed, and the women scatter money and colorful fruits into the bed tent to pray for wealth, good luck, and more children.

He Yuwei and Lu Hongye were both very reserved. After all, although they were married, they were still just strangers.

He Yuwei glanced at him secretly. Although Lu Hongye was in his 30s, he looked very young, which surprised her. I thought that the person I married would be called an old man, but I didn't expect that he was still young.

A noble lady stepped forward, cut off a strand of hair from both of their heads, and shouted: "I know you will tie your hair, and we will live together until we grow old." Then she tied their hair with a red rope. Put them together in a wooden box, which means eternal unity.

Lu Hongye took the wooden box and placed it under the pillow, symbolizing a happy marriage for a hundred years.

Finally, the two drank Hexin wine.

Lu Hongye was taken to the front hall for a toast, and He Yuwei sat quietly on the wedding bed until dark.

In the front hall, Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua were sitting at the female guests' table, sitting with some unknown aunts and uncles, listening to their gossip. The two of them just listened boredly to the ridiculous things caused by some noble men in Jade Capital City.

Someone went to a flower house, someone took a concubine, and a girl from someone got married.

Lu Yanhua has always liked to listen to gossip, but for some reason, she especially didn't want to hear it today. Moreover, my whole body was lifeless, I felt very depressed, and my heart always felt clogged, which was very unpleasant. She should be unhappy when her father remarries, but Lu Hongye is not her real father. Why does Lu Yanhua feel so sad? Is it because the owner of this body is unhappy?

Apart from this, Lu Yanhua could not find any other reason. After all, she had no reason to be unhappy.

Lu Yanhua could only feel sorry for the original owner. She was really pitiful.

Seeing her depressed face, Lu Wanxi asked, "What's wrong? She looks so sad?"

"I feel like the real Lu Yanhua is crying."

"what?"

"I just can't be happy."

What haven't they said yet? The seven aunts and eight aunts beside him began to discuss. "Yan Hua, your father remarries, don't you feel sorry for your mother?"

"Why aren't you sad? Can't you be happy even if you don't see Yan Hua?"

"That's right. Yan Hua! You have to be careful as your stepmother. If you give birth to a child in the future, it will be a legitimate child and will definitely threaten you and Hengsong."

"Be smart and please your father more so that your father won't neglect you."

……

Lu Yanhua ignored these people. Originally, she and Hengsong were not favored by their father. Even with a stepmother, they might not be any worse. Besides, where are my grandmother, uncle, and aunt? They were originally raised by their grandmothers and have been taught by their uncles and aunts.

However, Lu Wanxi couldn't stand them and said, "I don't have to worry about it, aunts. Yan Hua and Heng Song were raised by my grandmother. My father and mother taught them personally, so there is no need for my second uncle."

"This girl Wanxi really follows your mother's example and is very sharp-tongued."

"Overrated."

On the way back to the Duke's Mansion in the evening, Lu Yanhua had been feeling gloomy. When Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lin saw this, they both thought she was sad for her mother because her father had remarried.

Mrs. Lin comforted her heart-warmingly: "Yan Hua, although your father has remarried, you are still the apple of our eye, and there will be no change from before."

"Auntie, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

Mrs. Lu's face was filled with distress. Perhaps she had acted too hastily, "Yan Hua, are you blaming grandma?"

"How could it be? Yan Hua is really fine. Grandma doesn't need to worry."

"If you're unhappy, just say it, don't keep it inside."

"I will."

Back at Ningxiang Courtyard, Lu Yanhua was lying on the bed with a sad look on her face. Lu Wanxi came over after washing and asked, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"A little bit!"

"Don't think too much, it's not something we can stop."

Lu Yanhua could really feel the sadness of the original owner, and she really felt sad for Mrs. Cui. "Sister, what would she do if Lu Yanhua was really here? Would she stop her father from marrying again?"

"Maybe! But this is my grandmother's decision, and there shouldn't be anything she can do to stop it."

"Yes! Grandma's decision, even if she dotes on her again, is related to Fan Yanglu's reputation, and she cannot give up because of her."

"Whose marriage in a wealthy family is not a marriage of interests? She grew up beside her grandmother, so she can understand this even if she thinks about it."

"Ok!"

Lu Wanxi touched her head and said, "Go to sleep! Stop thinking so much."

"Go to sleep!"

Meiyuan of the Marquis of Xiangyang, this is the courtyard where He Yuwei lives, and it is also the wedding room of He Yuwei and Lu Hongye.

Lu Hongye drank a few more drinks today, but he was still sober and not drunk.

He walked up to He Yuwei and casually took off the fan in front of her. Only then did he see He Yuwei's face clearly.

Her face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were like stars. Under the thick eyelashes, her eyes were sharp and showed a calm expression, which was not at all like the expression that a woman should have on a wedding night.

Lu Hongye was amazed by her beauty, but was a little disappointed by her expression. He said coldly: "From your eyes, I see that you don't want to marry me."

"Master Hou is worrying too much, I don't mean this."

Her voice was gentle and sweet, but Lu Hongye could hear a hint of dissatisfaction in it. "May I have your name?"

"I am He Yuwei, please see the Marquis." He Yuwei stood up and saluted.

"Yuwei."

"It's getting late, I'll serve you at your service!" After saying this, He Yuwei stepped forward and stretched out her hand to undress him.

Lu Hongye did not refuse. When she approached gently, there was a faint fragrance of jasmine on her body, which was refreshing.

"Why did you marry me if you didn't want to? Just because you marry me, you can become a marquise?"

The movements of He Yuwei's hands suddenly stopped, and then she continued to unbutton her collar. "Then why did the Marquis marry a concubine? Because he had no choice, so he still followed the old lady's orders?"

"You haven't answered my question yet, but you're questioning me instead?"

"Fair enough, isn't it?"

This was the first time that Lu Hongye met a woman as bold as her. She was not afraid of her husband at all on their wedding night, and even dared to question her husband.

"You are bold."

"Thank you Lord Marquis for your compliment."

The two of them put on their pajamas and lay on the bed. He Yuwei was so nervous that her palms became sweaty, and she could clearly hear the steady breathing of the man next to her.

Suddenly Lu Hongye turned over and pressed her under him, saying: "Since you have married me, I will treat you well. It's a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, haven't you done what you should do?"

Within the bed tent, the sound of men's heavy breathing and women's delicate breathing gradually came out, and they lasted for a long time.

Early the next morning, He Yuwei woke up early, and beside him, he had already gotten up and was practicing swordplay in the yard. As a military general, Lu Hongye had to practice sword practice every day when he got up.

He Yuwei heard the noise outside and called her personal maid, "Red peony root, red peony root."

"Madam, you're awake." Chi Shao walked in with a basin of hot water.

"Where is Mr. Hou?"

"Is the Marquis practicing sword practice outside?"

"Practicing swords?"

"Yes!"

"Hurry up and help me wash and change clothes. I have to go to the Duke's Mansion to serve tea."

Chi Shao smiled and said: "Madam, there is no need to worry. The old lady sent someone to say that she should just let Madam sleep a little longer."

"That's not okay. This is etiquette. Hurry up."

"it is good!"

After Chi Shao helped He Yuwei wash up, He Yuwei wore a red brocade dress with peony patterns embroidered on it, looking elegant and elegant. Wearing a set of ruby ​​​​flowers on her head, there are a pair of white jade hairpins on both sides.

He Yuwei finished dressing up and was about to go out when she bumped into Lu Hongye who had just finished sword practice. The two looked at each other and stood awkwardly.

"Master Hou, I got up late."

"It's okay. I'm going to change clothes and go with you to visit my mother and brother."

"it is good!"

He Yuwei stood there waiting, and Chi Shao beside her said with a smile: "Girl, I see that Mr. Hou is a very nice person, and the old lady is so considerate of the girl. The girl will definitely be happy in the future."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Lu Hongye quickly changed into clothes, wearing the same red robe as her, "Let's go!"

"it is good!"

He Yuwei followed him, and they went to the Duke's Mansion together.

Everyone on Ting Yuxuan's side was already waiting.

Although the time has been delayed, the old lady didn't say anything, and the others certainly wouldn't say anything. But there are also many elders in the clan who are dissatisfied with this bride.

"My aunt is too spoiled to her new daughter-in-law. What time of the day it is, and she still hasn't come to say hello to her mother-in-law."

Mrs. Lu always had a smile on her face. She was most satisfied with the daughter-in-law she personally selected. "My own daughter-in-law hasn't said anything yet, and it's your turn to talk."

"Auntie, I have good intentions too."

"It's no use."

The old lady's aura was so overwhelming that no one dared to say anything more.

After a while, Lu Hongye came with He Yuwei. The two of them knelt in front of the old lady and said, "My dear mother, my son is here with his bride to pay his respects to his mother."

He Yuwei served tea, "Mom, please have some tea."

"Okay!" Old Mrs. Lu took the tea, drank it, gave He Yuwei a thick red envelope, and said, "Live a good life with Hong Ye, be harmonious and beautiful."

"Thank you mother."

He Yuwei then served tea to the elders present one by one and received many red envelopes.

Finally, the two of them sat down. Lu Yanhua, Lu Hengsong, and Lu Hengdong came forward to offer tea to He Yuwei. Lu Yanhua, the eldest daughter, was the first to step forward, kneeling in front of He Yuwei, and took the tea from the female envoy beside her, "Mom, please have some tea."

Lu Yanhua contacted her for a long time last night, and today she finally opened her mouth and called out "Mother", but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. I don’t know if it’s because of myself or the original owner.

He Yuwei was also a little stunned. She was really uncomfortable hearing Lu Yanhua call her mother. But he still took the tea from her hand with a smile, drank the red peony root next to him as a greeting gift.

Afterwards, Lu Hengsong and Lu Hengdong served tea to He Yuwei one by one.

After the three of them served tea, He Yuwei was still wondering, aren't they two sons and two daughters? Why is there missing a seat? But she didn't say anything, thinking that the tea ceremony was over.

But there are some people who are deliberately looking for trouble, "Hey~ why don't you see Yanru? Where has this girl gone?"

Upon hearing the word Yanru, Mrs. Lu's face suddenly darkened.

But the man continued to ask, "Auntie, where is Yanru? The day after this stepmother got married, how could her stepdaughter not come to pay her respects? Although she is a concubine, she is still the biological daughter of the Marquis."

"Shut up. Okay, now that we've finished serving tea, everyone can go to the front hall to have a meal!"

Everyone stood up and headed to the front hall together.

Old Mrs. Lu winked at Mrs. Lin, who immediately understood and ordered someone to escort the woman who had just been talking nonsense.

Everyone else has left. The woman is from a branch of the Lu family in Fan Yang and loves to chew her tongue.

"Ms. Sun, you deliberately made me unhappy today. Don't think that I don't know your thoughts."

Mrs. Sun was afraid now. She just wanted to get some benefits from this, "Auntie, forgive me. My nephew-in-law knows that I was wrong."

"It's too late to admit your mistake now. I just reminded you, but you still have the intention to make yourself unhappy. Why don't I help you."

"Aunt, I really know that I was wrong. I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore. Please forgive me."

"Remember this, if you still want to rely on Ningguo Gongfu and Xiangyang Houfu, you should put away your frivolous behavior and behave honestly. Otherwise, don't blame me for not caring about the feelings of the same clan and killing relatives out of justice."

"Yes Yes!"

"Let go!"

After breakfast, He Yuwei was pulled over by Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lin to talk a lot. During this period, He Yuwei asked about Yanru that Sun mentioned.

"Mother, why didn't Yanru come?"

Mrs. Lu didn't intend to hide anything from her, so she asked Mrs. Lin to tell her everything. Only then did He Yuwei know what kind of person she was marrying?

"I see. No wonder my mother came to me."

Mrs. Lu quickly held her hands and said, "Good girl, don't think nonsense. Don't worry, as long as your sister-in-law and I are together, Mrs. Liu will never appear in the Hou Mansion. Hong Ye is different from before. , he will definitely treat you well when he marries you, and if he dares to be sorry to you, I will definitely not spare him."

"Thank you mother."

On the way back to the Marquis Mansion, He Yuwei followed Lu Hongye, thinking where was the Lan Yue Pavilion? She quite wanted to meet this third girl, after all, she was still her nominal mother.

"Master Hou, can I see Yan Ru?"

When Lu Hongye heard this, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at her, "What did you say?"

"My mother and sister-in-law both told me about Liu and Yanru."

Lu Hongye didn't know how to face her. Mrs. Liu was already his past and a stain on his life. In the past, he was blind, deceived by her, and obsessed with her again and again. Now I wake up and realize how stupid I was.

"That is all in the past, and there is no need for you to see her. Without mother's order, the door of Lan Yue Pavilion will not be opened."

He Yuwei really didn't expect his reaction. "Should she be imprisoned until she is old enough?"

"No one can object to mother's decision. There is only one year left, and she should indeed be disciplined. She will not be so unruly when she gets married in the future."

He Yuwei didn't know whether he meant what he said, so she asked, "Does the Marquis still think about the Liu family?"

"It's all over. There's no need to mention her again. Don't mention her again in the future."

"it is good!"

Ningxiangyuan

After Lu Yanhua came back, she was still depressed. Lu Wanxi comforted her, "Are you still depressed?"

"It's getting better and I think she'll be a good mother."

"I think it will be the same. I hope that I can live quietly like now in the future."

"Definitely, I believe we will get better and better."

"It will definitely get better."

Lu Yanhua moved back to the Hou Mansion, continued to live in Yihuaxuan, and lived her life as usual. Lu Yanhua also went to Meiyuan often and got along very happily with He Yuwei.

Lu Hongye saw that they got along well with each other and lived a very comfortable and happy life. Now he finally understood how ridiculous his previous life was.

That day Lu Wanxi went to Yihuaxuan to look for Lu Yanhua. When she saw that she was not here, she knew that she was in Meiyuan. As soon as I entered Meiyuan, I saw the two of them throwing pots, and they were having a great time. They don't look like mother and daughter at all, just a pair of sisters, aren't they just sisters? Almost a few years old.

Lu Yanhua smiled brightly and had a great time.

"I hit it, I hit it again."

"You win, you win."

Lu Yanhua noticed Lu Wanxi and waved to her, "Sister, come and play with us."

Lu Wanxi walked over and played hut with the two of them. Why didn't Lu Wanxi realize before that He Yuwei also had a lively and fun-loving temperament? She naturally knows what kind of character her sister is. She is a social cow and can play with anyone. But He Yuwei really surprised her.

When the three of them were tired from playing, they sat down to drink tea and eat pastries. The pastries were made by He Yuwei herself.

Lu Wanxi ate it for the first time. After taking a bite, she praised it repeatedly, "It's sweet but not greasy. It's so delicious."

"You'd like to take some back with you when you go."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"You're welcome, it's just some pastries."

Lu Yanhua has eaten a lot recently and has gained weight visibly. Lu Wanxi smiled and said, "Yan Hua, have you gained weight again recently?"

Lu Yanhua immediately pinched her face. It felt soft, as if she had indeed gained weight. "Is it obvious?"

"Of course, eat less and exercise more."

"The food cooked by my mother is so delicious that I have gained weight."

"You're so cute when you're chubby. If you like it, mom will make it for you every day."

"Thank you mother."

Lu Yanhua and He Yuwei got along very happily, which they had never imagined. In the month since she got married, He Yuwei has kept the Marquis's house in perfect order. Even the old lady and Mrs. Lin praised her, and Lu Hongye looked at her with admiration.
