Are the cotton shoes good-looking for winter?

As the only girl in the family, He Qiyao was pampered since she was a child. The first fifteen years of her life were carefree and smooth sailing. However, after seeing the imperial concubine herself, she suddenly opened her eyes and could actually see the malicious thoughts in other people's hearts. The dark inside stories around her were revealed one after another, and the former ivory tower world suddenly collapsed. This article adopts the first-person narration, because of the special setting of the heroine's "mind-reading ability", which not only does not have the shortcomings of awkward writing and single perspective that the first-person is prone to, but also provides a more immersive and empathetic sense of substitution. After experiencing a series of dangerous escape crises, the heroine is rescued by the only male protagonist who is not malicious. The daily interactions between the two are sweet and full of laughter. It is a masterpiece that interweaves both emotional and plot lines.

Chapter 1

My aunt said that she would personally choose a good marriage for me.

Actually, not long after I got my haircut last year, my third aunt went to Grandfather Yang’s stepmother, Mrs. Zhou, to start taking care of the matter. If my father were still alive, he would be two years older than Mrs. Zhou, so I couldn't call her grandmother, and none of my brothers changed their name.

The third aunt has no such scruples. There was only three years between her and Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou was beautiful and became even more radiant after she got married. She looked younger than the third aunt, so when she saw the third aunt, she called her "mother" respectfully and filially. , that scene is really weird.

Unexpectedly, my third uncle died early like my father. My third aunt had no children, and there was no one in her family. If my aunt hadn’t left her to take care of me, she would have nowhere to go. Her natal brother also left an orphan girl to be raised by her.

My third aunt is very kind to me, but she may not take such careful and considerate care of her biological niece Yu Lanyue. Madam Xiao Zhou only has one son, not much older than me, and she always said she wanted a daughter as caring and lovely as me.

Because there are more than a dozen cousins ??of the same generation, plus uncles of similar age, I am the only girl in the family. Naturally, everyone loves me, especially my grandfather and aunt.

Ms. Xiao Zhou spent more than half a year carefully choosing, and finally selected three marriage candidates.

One is the eldest grandson of Xianggong Song. In the eyes of the third aunt, he is a good candidate for the right match. The grandson of the right prime minister and the granddaughter of the left prime minister are both the direct grandsons of the eldest son. They are just like competing with each other. The ground is neat and tidy;

The other one is last year's top scholar in a new subject. He is considered a disciple of his grandfather. His family background is not as prominent as that of the Song family, but he is also from a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. It is estimated that Mrs. Zhou guessed that her grandfather has the intention of supporting and supporting her;

Originally, there was a relative from the late Lady Zhou. Somehow, Princess De in the palace heard that I wanted to discuss marriage, so she came to join in the fun and said that she had liked me since she was a child, so why not marry her? Believing the king, Lady Zhou eliminated the most inconspicuous relatives of the Zhou family.

I don’t believe what Princess De is saying. In the past, when I went to the palace, King Xin often came to play with me because I had many new things. Concubine De always hurriedly found various reasons to call King Xin back, as if she was afraid that if she played with me for a while longer, she would lead him to bad behavior.

Ms. Xiao Zhou was afraid that I would be embarrassed, so she didn’t invite Mr. Song and the Number One Scholar to her home. She took advantage of Mrs. Liu Shangshu’s banquet and let me take the opportunity to see them. Mrs. Liu's favorite thing was to hold the red string and point the mandarin ducks. A lot of people were invited that day, and it was noisy. Mr. Song and the No. 1 Scholar only had a few meetings with me at the beginning, but later my mind was occupied by other things. I heard that there were several couples in other families, so Mrs. Liu’s work was not in vain.

My aunt was very concerned after hearing about it and asked me what I thought of these three people. I said that the number one scholar can be ranked first, Song Gongzi second, and King Xin last.

My aunt asked: "Why are they ranked in this way?"

Because the number one scholar is the most handsome, and Yushu Linfeng shows his talent; Song Gongzi is also handsome and suave, but he is a bit rosy and slightly inferior. "Xin Wang, maybe he was used to his chubby appearance when he was a child. Even if he is thin now, he still feels that he is not as handsome as these two people. He may gain weight again in the future."

My aunt laughed and said, "How handsome should you choose a husband?"

"We have only met once, what else can you tell apart from whether he is handsome or not?" I asked my aunt. She acted coquettishly, "Anyway, my grandfather and aunt will help me with my talent and family background."

If you haven’t bought it yet! Don't buy it!

I bought it! Make sure you take it with you as there are no side effects, what the most professional dentists say!

And I took it with me, and it was very uncomfortable. It doesn’t matter whether I take it with an adult or a child for a day or two, but it can’t be carried for a long time!

The thing looks exactly like a boxing brace! I glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'll check it for you."

I thought she just said it casually, but I didn't expect that the next day she would invite the three people to Yanning Palace, and after checking, she would tell my grandfather. She said that she was not satisfied with these three people and wanted to choose another one.

She has been the most favored concubine in the palace for twenty years. Now there is no empress dowager or empress in the harem, and the concubine is the most noble woman in the world. Even His Majesty often consulted her for her opinions, and her words were of course the final word. No one in the family dared to say a word "no".

It is said that even His Majesty knew about it and went to Yanning Palace to join in the fun and took a look. He said to his aunt with regret: "It would be great if Yuan Min was still here."

Prince Yuanmin is His Majesty's eldest son, three years older than me. When we were young, we often played together. His Majesty once joked that I would be his wife when I grow up. It is a pity that he died of smallpox at the age of nine, and now His Majesty's eldest son is only eleven years old.

Ms. Xiao Zhou complained privately: "It took me half a year to select the two young masters. King Xin is a noble man, but the noble concubine can't like any of them. This is called Where can I find a better one? Does it have to be someone like Prince Yuanmin?"

My grandfather didn't care much: "If there is no suitable one now, then we will wait."

"You can't wait for the girl's age!"

My grandfather stroked his beautiful beard and said with a smile: "I, He Jun's granddaughter, even if she is over twenty years old, she will not worry about finding something to her liking. My son-in-law is Chenglong! Yaoyao is still young, so he has stayed at home to spend more time with me these past two years."

As expected, my grandfather loves me the most. I don't want to get married at all. Once I get married, I have to have children. I am still a child myself. My fourth cousin-in-law had a great time with me when she first got married, but she got pregnant within half a year. Now she's pregnant and talking to me in an old-fashioned way about being a wife and mother. It's really boring.

But my aunt disagreed. In the past, my aunt was more open-minded and doted on me than my grandfather, but this time it was the other way around. She insisted on getting me married as soon as possible. If Mrs. Xiao Zhou couldn't handle it, she would do it herself.

My aunt has always done things vigorously and resolutely, and she does what she says. She invites Mrs. Liu, who has the horoscopes of all men and women of suitable age in Luoyang, to be a consultant. Mrs. Liu loved doing these things the most, and she became even more dedicated after her aunt's instructions. Less than three months had passed, and before my birthday in June, she gathered a group of people again and invited them to a banquet at Beijiao Bieyuan. .

With the presence of a noble concubine, Mrs. Liu naturally gained a lot of face, and an ordinary banquet was even more lively than the previous Si Festival.

Although Mrs. Liu also invited many noble ladies to support the occasion, everyone in Luoyang knew that the actual purpose of this banquet was for my aunt to recruit a bride and son-in-law for me.

I think this is very unreliable. My aunt said that she was worried about others choosing her, and she had to see it in person before she knew it. So she took me to sit on the turret next to the gate of the Villa, and watched from a high position as the young men filed in through the door - last time I At least we can still see if they are good-looking, but this time we can only compare which of them has darker and shinier hair.

My aunt was sitting upstairs, her eyes fixed on the bustling crowd of people below, her expression solemn. Mrs. Liu was by her side, and her aunt would point to a certain young man downstairs and ask questions from time to time, and she would always answer her questions with all her family treasures.

I rarely see the tops of men’s heads on weekdays. Now when I compare them carefully, I can see that some young men have only a small bun on top of their hair. They may become bald in the future.

After counting a few balls, I felt bored and stepped aside to eat the fruit. Looking back from here, we can see that there is a large lake in the depths of the garden. It is much more interesting than the crowds and noise at the gate. It is better to ask Changyu to go boating. Chang Yu's ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River. He is naturally good at water and the boat can be rowed straight and steady. Only with him every time, my aunt felt safe to let me go into the water.

I looked around and couldn’t find Chang Yu, so I asked Jun Liu, the female envoy next to my aunt: “Where is Chang Yu? Why didn’t I see him?”

As soon as I said this , I saw Jun Liu’s hand holding the pot tremble. Her expression changed slightly, and she turned to look at her aunt. Only then did I realize that my aunt had left Mrs. Liu who was responding and looked towards me.

Her face became more solemn and gloomy, and Mrs. Liu immediately stopped speaking wisely. Everyone looked at me silently, as if I had said something shocking.

I just asked if I didn’t see Chang Yu, what’s wrong?

After a long while, my aunt finally said: "Chang Yu...can't come today."

She turned back and continued to look downstairs. Jun Liu and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Get busy again.

From the time I can remember, it seems that Chang Yu has always been with my aunt and has never left. Even Jun Liu is not as loved and trusted by my aunt as he is. He is five years older than me, and he was the one who played with me the most when I was a kid.

Chang Yu is the gentlest and best-tempered person I have ever met. No matter how I behave and make trouble, he will never get angry, and he will persuade and guide me with kind words. In the end, it is often me. I'm speechless, I think what he said makes sense.

Besides, Chang Yu is good-looking, so he is my ideal husband. I told my aunt that I want to marry Chang Yu when I grow up.

Jun Liu and the others blushed and giggled, and quietly told me that no matter how good Chang Yu was, I couldn’t marry him because he was a eunuch. I didn’t know the difference between eunuchs and other men until I was twelve years old.

I think I really like Changyu. I was sad for a long time when I heard that I couldn’t marry him. So I also know very well that I have no such thoughts about these various princes and grandsons downstairs, including the handsome number one scholar.

I held a candied date in my mouth, leaned on the railing and stared at the unreachable lake in the distance. Suddenly, I felt that the bustling people downstairs seemed to have become quieter, like As if my aunt was looking at me just now, everyone fell silent in unison. Not only did they remain silent, they also took the initiative to step aside to make way for the new guests at the door.

I almost swallowed the jujube core without paying attention, and quickly coughed it up and vomited it. I jumped to the front of the corner building to confirm that I had read it correctly: "Yu Chongrui?! Why is he here? Who let him Are you here?”

Are you here to see my joke again?

Mrs. Liu immediately said: "Which family's son is this Yu Zhongrui? There is no such person on the guest list." She leaned downstairs and saw her husband's immediate boss, "Oh, Yu The minister has arrived. Please excuse me for a moment and go down to greet him."

After saying this, she paused and seemed to understand the connection between the two "Yu".

"I invited him here." When my aunt stood up and leaned on the railing, looking at the man in the middle of the space vacated by everyone downstairs, her face suddenly lost its solemn air and became brighter. He became relaxed and even smiled.

She turned back, stared at me meaningfully and asked: "Does Yaoyao know Yu Yan? How can she know his cousin name?"

The author has something to say: Open What a scam, now many people don’t accept the first-person version...

The old rule is that red envelopes will be sent to the front row of sofas and randomly dropped from the back row.

Chapter 2

Yu Chongrui and I... are considered acquaintances, but not acquaintances.

I know him, but he doesn’t know who I am. We have only met twice and a half.

That half of the time, I was sitting in my grandfather’s car and collided with his carriage and horses at the end of the Luoshui River bridge. I saw my grandfather going down and the two of them were apologizing to each other and saluting each other. I Only then did I find out that the "fish eye" whose grandfather would smash glasses and yell at him every once in a while at home was Yu Zhongrui.

I was so frightened that I quickly stopped watching the excitement and lowered the curtain to prevent him from seeing me and recognizing me. What if he knows that I am the granddaughter of the He family and exposes my embarrassing scandals to ridicule and criticize my grandfather? My grandfather once said that this man had corrupt personal ethics. The people under his command were a bunch of gangsters who were willing to do anything for personal gain.

In the end, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have gone to Mrs. Liu’s Shangsi Spring Banquet, let alone drank that glass of wine.

I have never drank wine at home, but the ladies and ladies nearby persuaded me that the wine served at the table was fruit wine, reserved for women. Besides, I was already an adult, so I wanted to have a drink to enjoy myself. It doesn't matter at all. I saw that the wine smelled really sweet and fruity, and other girls had already drank it, so I followed suit and took a few sips.

Who knew that I was born with such a bad ability to drink? After just one drink, I felt top-heavy and confused, and I couldn’t even hold my tongue straight. I heard that some drunk people also have alcohol, some have bad alcohol, have dementia, talk nonsense, etc. It’s all trivial. There are also people who strip naked and run naked in the street, and hang themselves when they wake up in shame and anger.

I was afraid that I would be drunk and do something terrible in public, so I quickly asked Yun Xiang to help me leave the table. This was someone else's place, so I could only find a secluded corner by the water, hoping that the wind and the wine would get over me quickly.

Then a maid from the Liu family came and said that they had rented several houses nearby for temporary storage and rest, and that they could take me there for a while.

Obviously it was Yunxiang and the maid who helped me walk through the forest. I can’t remember why Yunxiang disappeared in the middle and why the maid was replaced.

By the time I got over the drunkenness and sobered up completely, it was already two hours later and it was already dark outside.

I hugged the pillar and lay on the ground floor of a dark and damp warehouse. I took off my outer clothes, my hair was loose, and there was a strange and handsome young man in the room.

No, no, don’t get me wrong. I am not frivolous about this young master. He is well-dressed and neat. What I am frivolous about is the pillar in my arms.

I hugged the pillar, rubbed my ears and temples together, and talked about love for two hours.

This young man watched from the side for two hours.

I guess he must have had a hard time suppressing his laughter, but he was still gentle and polite on his face. He bowed to me and said, "I'm Yu Chongrui, I don't know..."

No, no, no. I think it’s better that we don’t get to know each other anymore, and it’s best not to see each other again in the future.

There was a fire outside and the sound of people coming from far away. I looked disheveled and disheveled. People who knew me thought I was drunk and crazy. People who didn’t know thought I was doing nothing but a man and a woman in the same room. thing.

I rolled up all the clothes and hairpins scattered on the ground into a package, jumped out of the window at night, and sneaked home.

Only when I got home did I find that everything else was missing except for the mutton-fat jade pendant my father left for me, with my maiden name "Qi" engraved on it.

The warehouse was completely empty and unobstructed. Even the beads that fell off the hairpin were collected and brought back. There was no way I wouldn’t have noticed the white jade falling on the muddy ground, so there was a good chance that it was taken away. Then Yu Zhongrui took it away.

That piece of jade is indeed the most valuable thing I have. It’s not enough for him to laugh at me for a long time, so he wants to blackmail me? If it were an ordinary gold or silver artifact, it would be fine if he took it away, but it was left to me by my father, and the words on it were still his original handwriting.

I didn’t dare to ask my grandfather, so I went to brother Zhongshu and asked him if he knew a man named Yu Chongrui. Brother Zhongshu is the cousin of the third uncle's family. He just received the post of chief registrar of Guanglu Temple last year. He is the closest man to me among the men in the family who is an official in the court, so he can inquire about these unreasonable things. .

"Whose surname is Yu? There are several young talents with the surname Yu in the court, but I have never heard of anyone with this name. Maybe he is a young man from an adult's family who has not yet become an official." Brother Zhongshu started talking. Turning around, he looked at me inquiringly, "When I came back from Yaoyao last Si Festival, I asked about the young master. Could it be that he has fallen in love with him?"

If I tell the truth, this man saw me making a fool of myself and even took my jade pendant, Brother Zhongshu must go to him to argue and stand up for me. I followed his words and said: "Since I haven't heard of him before, he must not come from a prominent family and doesn't match our He family, so I don't dare to tell my elders. Can you help me find out quietly?" "

In the past, Brother Zhongshu always responded to my requests, but this time he lowered his face and said displeasedly: "You also know that the elders will not agree, so why don't you stop asking as soon as possible?" Unprecedented. I left him alone and walked away.

Is this Yu Zhongrui a bad guy? This is the first time that Brother Zhongshu has treated me badly.

Although I didn’t inquire, it didn’t take long for me to see Yu Zhongrui again. He was wearing a plain white cloth, carrying a food box in one hand and walking alone through the crowd in Nanshi. I saw him at a glance.

I wanted to chase after me, but there were too many people in Nanshi, and there was a follower around me who saw that I wanted to go against the flow of people, so he immediately stopped me and said, "Miss, follow me carefully, don't act like Yunxiang again." "I lost it."

The follower is Fan Zeng, the cook at home. He is not the boss, but everyone calls him Fan Da because he is as big as two of me.

Fan Zeng is actually not my follower, he is Yun Xiang’s follower. Junxiang and I wanted to go out, so he said he was driving to Nanshi for shopping and asked us to come with him so we could take care of him.

Looking after her, Junxiang disappeared again. Yun Xiang is a road addict, and she often gets separated when we go out. Fan Zeng still can't keep an eye on her. But she was very clever and had a sweet mouth. She could always ask for directions home, and sometimes she could even get a ride.

I know that Fan Zeng likes Yun Xiang, but Yun Xiang looks down on him, saying that he looks fat and has a fleshy face, and does not look like a good person.

Is there any relationship between good people and fat? I think that although Fan Zeng looks vicious, he has a good heart. People who like to eat are not too bad. Yun Xiang just thinks he is not good-looking.

But does being good-looking mean you are a good person? The good-looking guy over there not only took advantage of the situation to see me making a fool of myself, but also stole my jade pendant.

Taking it without telling him was stolen. In order to prove that I had not wronged him, I decided to go up and ask him clearly.

I squeezed through the gap in the crowd to the other side of the street. Yu Zhongrui had already reached Nanshikou and was about to leave. Fan Zeng was too big to squeeze through, and was soon left behind.

Nanshi is lively, and the surrounding streets are full of people coming and going. I followed Yu Zhongrui all the way south and passed two streets, and then it finally became quieter nearby. Seeing that he was about to enter the inner house, I quickly shouted: "Yu...hey, who is in front of you!"

Although in my heart Yu Zhongrui shouted Yu Zhongrui by his first name and last name, I couldn't call him out in person. .

I was not close to him, but he immediately turned around, was slightly startled when he saw me, and then started laughing.

I saw him smiling very happily. He must have remembered something funny again. I can’t blame him for this. If I had witnessed a man being drunk and crazy for two hours, showing off all kinds of ugliness, no matter how humanly he appeared in front of me next time, I would not be able to help but want to laugh.

"It's you," he seemed to have regarded me as a mature person. He smiled and walked closer, "I have been looking for you these past few days."

He was looking for me. do what? Could it be that you want to return my jade pendant? I asked him directly: "Where is my jade pendant with you?"

"Of course it is here with me."

"Give it back to me quickly."

He walked to me and stood still, frowning: "Why?"

Why do you still want to ask? Of course, if you take something from me without authorization, you must return it to me and return it to its original owner.

Although he is not as powerful as Fan Zeng, I still have to look up at him when he is close. At this moment, he stopped smiling and stared at me from above. There was no one else around except the two of us. I suddenly felt that it was too reckless to come to my door to demand money so rashly. What about bad?

I felt a little timid when I thought about it, so I took a step back and said, "That was left to me by my deceased father and cannot be given to anyone else."

He lowered his eyelids and paused. He said, "It looks like a valuable token to me."

I knew that he must have taken it because of my rare jade pendant, and he simply refused to return it. I was very angry, but I couldn't say anything harsh: "Then... can I trade it with you for something else?"

He seemed to be interested and looked at me slightly. Redirect: "What to exchange for?"

I don't know how valuable that jade pendant is, but I went out with Fan Zeng today, and I only have a few grains of silver in my purse, which is definitely not enough.

As I was thinking about what to do, I turned around and saw Fan Zeng catching up with two helpers. When he came to Nanshi for shopping, he must have brought enough money, so I hurried over to greet him and asked him in a low voice if he could give me a few hundred taels first.

Fan Zeng glanced at Yu Zhongrui who was not far away. He was the only one on the whole path: "Why does the lady need so much money?"

I didn't know how to explain to him. He just said roughly: "The jade pendant I carry with me is in his hand. I have to go and redeem it."

When Fan Zeng heard this, he was furious and said three words with fat on his face: "Where did that hair come from?" A thief who has no eyes dares to steal my young lady’s personal jade pendant, and he doesn’t want to know who my grandpa is!”

Three big, muscular men went up to fight with Yu Chungrui without saying a word.
