Millennium Cold Moonlight (4)

4. Miss Chen Jiada of the cult

? The bright moon after a thousand years seems to be no different from that before a thousand years. It is bright and pale, emitting a bit of cold air.

? Is the bright moon in the city the same as the bright moon in the mountains? Tomorrow, she will leave this old forest, which has lived for thousands of years, and go to town. She is somewhat reluctant.

Beijing is bustling with lights and moonlight. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the three-day Lantern Festival is not over yet. This is the last day, and there seem to be more people than the previous two days.

filar silk is lying in front of the window upstairs in the inn, looking at the surging heads in the street and the continuous colorful lanterns. The corners of her mouth are slightly raised, and the moonlight shines on her face. Although it is a shallow smile, it makes her charming face even more charming. Unfortunately, no one else can see this beauty except the bright moon in the sky.

When people linger in the busy city with bright lanterns and enjoy the aftertaste of Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chen family, the richest man in the city, is out of control.

this has to be started from the beginning.

Twenty years ago, there was a cloth dyeing shop in the city. The owner was a chubby middle-aged man in his thirties, surnamed Chen. Master Chen's family business is not very good, but it's not bad. There are three or five guys in the shop. He has no worries about daily food and clothing, and his life is ok. But Master Chen is always unhappy because he still has no children in his thirties. It's not that he can't marry a wife or hasn't married a wife. On the contrary, he married an 18-year-old wife at the age of twenty.

Mrs. Chen is the daughter of a member of surnamed tang. She knows books, is polite, gentle and elegant, and is beautiful as flowers. Boss Chen is naturally happy to get this beauty as soon as possible. It's not that Mrs. Chen has no children. In the past ten years, Mrs. Chen has raised four children, but none of them can live to be one year old. It's really amazing.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival when Master Chen was thirty-three years old, Mrs. Chen gave birth to their fifth child. The child was not full-term, but was born more than seven months ago. It was only two kilograms, and it was as small as something. The fat woman Liu, the midwife, exaggerated and said, "Ouch, it's so small, you don't even need a quilt. Just find a bigger handkerchief to wrap it."

Mrs. Chen's maid Chuntao giggled because of her exaggerated expression and accent. She laughed and beat her back and said, "Mrs. Liu! Just talk nonsense! Let our master hear it and see if he gives you money back. "

Fat Liu Po kept bathing and dressing the little guy, and said to Chuntao, "Don't move, dead girl. It's nothing to tickle when you pound your wife's skin, but your young lady is so delicate and thin, and if she accidentally hurts you, she can't afford me."

Fat Liu Po wrapped up the little daughter of the Chen family, and explained the matters that the maid and Mrs. Chen should pay attention to during confinement. Liu Po walked out of Mrs. Chen's room with her little feet swinging her big fat body, and went away happily to ask Master Chen for a silver reward.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen looked at this pitifully small baby girl fondly, but they were somewhat worried besides being happy. They thought to themselves that the four chubby girls had not been brought up before, and I really don't know what would happen if this girl was so thin, except to pray for the blessing of the gods.

Mr. Chen looked away from his daughter, as if talking to himself and discussing with his wife, saying, "We have to find an experienced old lady and a strong and quick nurse to serve together. There must be no more mistakes this time."

? "Well, yes! However, I don't know if money and food can be tight. If not, there are still some valuable jewelry in my dressing box that can be pawned for some money. " Mrs. Chen also turned her eyes away from her daughter and turned to Ms. Chen.

? "You just take care of your health and take care of our little baby. Money and food are your own ways. Don't mention jewelry in the future. If it comes out that I am so incompetent, I have to rely on my wife to sell jewelry to help support my family. Wouldn't it be a joke?" Master Chen helped his wife put a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear and said, "You have a good rest. I'll go out to look after the shop and send a message to get the old lady and the wet nurse as soon as possible to serve you and your mother."

"you wait." The lady saw that Master Chen stood up to go out and grabbed his skirt and said, "Master, you haven't named our daughter yet."

"oh ha ha! I forgot. " Master Chen looked at his little baby and said, "Call it Sisi! Chen Sisi. "

? Mrs. Chen shook her head and thought the name was too general. She wanted to discuss it with "xianggong" again, but Master Chen had already gone out and Mrs. Chen had to give up.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Si, who is small and wrinkled, has grown up slowly under the careful care of Liu Ma, Nurse Wang, Chuntao and her mother, becoming more and more clever and lively and lovely, so that everyone who sees her can't help but want to hug her and kiss her red little face.

The most amazing thing is that since Sisi was born, Master Chen's business has been smooth and smooth, and he has made a net profit in everything he does. However, his business has grown bigger and bigger. Silk farms, inns and money houses have been opened one after another, and they have been expanding outside Xiang Jing. He has also bought many fields, built manors and added big houses.

Master Chen and Mrs. Chen are naturally comfortable, but the only fly in the ointment is that Mrs. Chen gave birth to four more children after thinking, and none of them can live to be one year old. Now she is still childless and has such a precious daughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen are so precious to this precious daughter that they are afraid of falling in their hands and melting in their mouths. This Chen Sisi, besides being a little bit competitive and headstrong, and a little bit of a big lady's temper, is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, needlework and needlework. Even at an early age, she can help her father settle accounts and do accounts. She is better than a female doll of the same age in everything she does, and she really earns enough face for her parents.

When Sisi was nine years old, there came an old beggar at home. After eating the fragrant tea of vegetarian food given by Mrs. Chen, she quietly said to Mrs. Chen, "Madam, some words should not be said, which will break my birthday, but for the sake of your predestination, I have to tell you even if you break the rules. Your daughter's grievances in her previous life were too heavy, and she wandered around for thousands of years before she invested in your home. You have to let her go back to fasting and meditation with me for three years before she can get rid of her grievances in her previous life, otherwise she will have to repeat doomed love in her previous life. It is hard to say whether she can help you support the elderly in the future. "

Mrs. Chen was stunned by this remark, but she couldn't get over it for a long time. Her maid Chuntao shook her and called her several times before she recovered.

Mrs. Chen told Chuntao to greet the old nun, so she hurried to consult with Master Chen. Master Chen naturally doesn't believe in these ghosts and monsters, and thinks this is simply nonsense. Sisi, a lively and active girl of only nine years old, was willing to shut herself up in the boudoir without eating or drinking when she heard that she was asked to go to lent and read Buddha. When Mrs. Chen saw that "xianggong" didn't believe that her daughter didn't follow nature, she couldn't help it. So she had to give some silver to the old nun in Dobusch, and asked her to go back and help her daughter read more sutras, asking the gods to bless the Chen family. This matter will just go away, but since then, Mrs. Chen has only been a vegetarian and has never eaten meat. She insists on burning incense and worshipping Buddha on the first and fifteenth day of each month, rain or shine.

Sisi is growing up, and it is as beautiful as flowers and jade.

naturally, the Chen family is getting richer and richer, and has become the richest man in the merchant's family. The wealth of their family is hard to compare with that of ordinary merchants except those princes and dignitaries.

In this situation, Mr. Chen should be happy and carefree, but he can't. If he had no children and only one daughter could let go, he really can't let go of his daughter's marriage now. He really can't figure out why everything so weird is in their Chen family.

Sisi booked a young marriage when he was three years old. It was the youngest son of an old friend of Master Chen's. The old friend tried hard to make a decision. Seeing that the little guy was very smart and smart, Master Chen agreed, but he died of smallpox not long after his engagement.

When Sisi was seven years old, she booked another doll marriage, saying that it was a distant relative of the royal family. The little dude was only eleven years old, but he knew all about swords, guns, poetry, calligraphy and painting. Everyone said that the boy was both civil and military, and he would definitely have a great future. But it was unexpected that this young marriage was booked less than a year ago, and somehow, the dude fell into the moat and drowned.

After that, Mr. and Mrs. Chen never dared to give Sisi a doll kiss again.

It was not until Sisi was 16 years old that Master Chen carefully selected the children of one of the official families and agreed to it, considering that the young man's father had offended the traitor and was framed, and the whole family, old and young, was in prison and ready to be sent to the northwest.

A year later, the matchmaker set up the eldest son in the general's house, but the date had not yet been chosen. The father and son were temporarily sent to the front line because the border was tight. After half a year, the general came back, but his son "died" in a foreign country.

After these two events, the thoughtful marriage is a bit like that. How can I put it? People who want to marry her and marry the Chen family have scruples in their hearts. They are hesitant, and they all like her talents and looks. They all covet her wealth, but they are afraid that they will die before they even touch her fingers.

Some people who are not afraid of evil and death have invited matchmakers to propose marriage, but the conditions of those people are not so good, and Sisi and her father naturally despise them.

When Sisi was nineteen years old, Master Qian of the same city sent a matchmaker to propose marriage for his second young master. After much deliberation, Master Chen thought that he could not find a better family, so he agreed.

The Qian family is also one of the richest businessmen in the city. It is said that their second young master is handsome and handsome, but his reputation is not very good. I don't know what's gotten into him, but he has a crush on a Yaojieer Yunying in the fireworks Liuxiang. I was so angry that Master Qian almost didn't vomit blood, so he broke his money in a fit of pique. Without money, the second childe naturally couldn't see his sweetheart Yunying, and he was so anxious that he was like ants in hot bricks.

Master Qian's proposal to the Chen family is not entirely unbelieving. First, his second boy is so disappointing that he is really dizzy. Second, the Chen family has such a precious daughter, and marrying her is equivalent to taking her rich family's wealth. Who doesn't covet such beautiful things?

Mr. Qian doesn't object to my father's arrangement. It's not because he is greedy for the Chen family's wealth or has a crush on Miss Chen, but he has already planned his wishful thinking.

after exchanging posts, Qian and Chen quickly chose a good day to prepare for the wedding.

On this day, the Qian family prepared a bride price to send to the Chen family the next day. In the evening, except for the vigil left by the servants, others went to sleep early, and people soon fell asleep, but the second young master of Qian's family was very energetic.

The next day, the money family was out of control, and the bride price and valuable bride price all disappeared with the second young master.

Master Qian angrily led a group of people to the Wanhua Building to look for it, but it was a pity that he was too late. Second Master Qian had already redeemed Yunying with the money and flew away.

Such explosive news didn't need money to inform. The news had already reached the Chen family. Master Chen was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. Mrs. Chen was so angry that she repeatedly sighed and silently recited the Buddha. Miss Chen was so angry that she threw things at random and said angrily, "I will never marry again."

after more than a year, the second young master of Qian's family went home with his wife and belt. Although Master Qian was extremely angry, he could look at such a lovely little grandson. Besides, Yunying, though out of fireworks and alleys, was extremely filial, and his father and wife acquiesced in this daughter-in-law.

The news that the second young master of the Qian family came back with his wife and belt naturally reached the Chen family very quickly, but times have changed, and the anger of the Chen family has long since subsided, and this farce-like marriage has never been mentioned. This news is just to add some talk to people after dinner.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sisi took Ling Hua, a little maid, out shopping. She saw a platinum-encrusted hairpin in a jewelry and antique shop, but she didn't have enough money with her, so she asked Ling Hua to go home and get it. Linghua hurried home to get the silver ticket, but she disappeared. She asked the shopkeeper, who said that Miss Chen was impatient and left, but she didn't pay attention to it. After listening to what the shopkeeper said, Ling Hua thought, I didn't see Miss on the way here. It is estimated that Miss has gone out shopping again, so she hurried out of the store to look for her all over the street.

Ling Hua searched the street for a long time, but she couldn't find it. I thought Miss Ling might be tired of shopping and go back! Returning to Chen Fu with a nervous heart, Zhao Wu and Qian Qi, the gatekeepers, all said that they didn't see the young lady coming back. This scared Ling Hua, and she ran to report to Mrs. Chen with tears in her eyes. Mrs. Chen fainted when she heard it. Master Chen was calm, and immediately launched all the people in the government to go out and look for it, but he still couldn't find it at night. Now Master Chen was also anxious, and hurriedly mobilized all his relatives and mobilized all the shopkeepers, offices, shop assistants and workers in their home city to help him find it overnight.
