The First Daughter of Rebirth

Zhao Keran and Zhao Ying were both punished and grounded, and the Taishi Mansion seemed much quieter. Zhao Keran lived his life contentedly, but were the days really peaceful? Under the calm appearance, there was a secret

How many waves have buried it? No one knows.

Since the drowning incident, a rumor has quietly spread under this calmness.

When Lin Xiran rescued Zhao Keren that day, indeed no one saw him, but his eagerness to carry Zhao Keren back to Xia Yuyuan was seen by too many people. Therefore, in the past few days,

Rumors about Lin Xiran and Zhao Keren were spreading. Everyone in the Taishi Mansion was talking about them.

"Hey, do you know? I heard that it was Prince Zhongyi Hou Lin who carried the second young lady back to Xia Yuyuan on the day she fell into the water."

"I heard that Prince Lin and the second lady have a very close relationship!"

"Isn't Prince Lin engaged to the eldest lady? How come he is so close to the second lady?"

"Oh, I heard that actually, it turns out that the second young lady and Prince Lin are actually a couple. We were all wrong before."

"Wow, but let's not talk about it. The second lady is so beautiful, talented and well-educated, and Prince Lin is handsome, well-educated, and has a prominent family background. They are really a match made in heaven!"

In the Taishi Mansion, all kinds of rumors were flying around, all about Lin Xiran, Zhao Keren, and Zhao Keran. Everyone was discussing who was Prince Lin's fiancée. But no one seemed to pay attention to them.

Rumors, however, were spread by thoughtful people. Not only did these rumors show no signs of being curbed, but they intensified. In fact, these rumors had spread in the capital. Everyone said that Prince Lin from the Zhongyi Hou Mansion and the Second Miss from the Taishi Mansion

, that is, Zhao Keren, one of the "Four Beauties" in Beijing, is engaged.

Regarding the intensifying rumors, the happiest person is Zhao Keren. Everything seems to be going according to her plan.

At this time, she was in Xia Yuyuan. Although she was grounded, Zhao Keren happened to have to rest in bed because she fell into the water before, so she didn't feel too dissatisfied.

In the afternoon, Xianyun walked in carrying a bowl.

"Miss, it's time to take medicine." Xianyun called Zhao Keren softly.

Seeing Xianyun entering the door, Zhao Keren also sat up, took the medicine in Xianyun's hand, and drank it slowly. After drinking the medicine, Xianyun held the medicine bowl and was about to leave, but was called by Zhao Keren.

Living.

"Xianyun, come back, I have something to ask you."

After hearing Zhao Keren's instructions, Xianyun put the medicine bowl on the table and returned to the bedside, quietly waiting for Zhao Keren's instructions.

"Xianyun, let me ask you, how are things going now?" Zhao Keren asked eagerly, because she can't leave Xia Yuyuan now, so she doesn't know how the rumors outside are spreading, whether it's like her

What about the expected appearance? The previous frame-up of Zhao Ying has been unsuccessful. If this time it is not successful, then this time it will be in vain and the efforts will be in vain. Then the opportunity that I have risked my life for will be in vain. More

What's more, this incident is related to her future. If she misses this opportunity, it may be difficult for her to find another opportunity.

"Second Miss, don't worry." Seeing Zhao Keren's anxious look, Xianyun quickly reported to her what was going on outside, "Now everyone thinks that Prince Lin and you are engaged, and they say that you are a match made in heaven.

Yes, not only that, the rumors circulating in the Taishi Mansion originally mentioned the eldest lady, but when they spread outside, no one mentioned the eldest lady!"

"That's good." Zhao Keren breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that things are progressing smoothly. "By the way, you go find Ling'er and ask her to find out Zhao Keran's current reaction."

"Okay, miss." Xianyun accepted the order.

"Okay, you can go, don't forget my instructions," Zhao Keren waved his hand and asked Xianyun to go down first.

Soon, Zhao Keren was the only one left in the room. Zhao Keren, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly smiled and smiled proudly. She seemed to have seen the outcome of the matter. Zhao Keran, although you were born earlier than me,

I got such a good marriage, but I, Zhao Keren, will never lose to you. Don’t think you can beat me. It’s impossible in this life. 13acv.

On the other side of the Chunhui Garden, it was as calm as ever without any disturbance. Especially Zhao Keran, one of the protagonists of the rumors, was very calm. He stayed at home every day and did not say anything about the rumors outside.

evaluate.

In summer, every day is hot, and it rarely rains heavily. This time it rains, probably because of the moisture of the rain! The temperature is not particularly high now, and there is a gust of wind from time to time.

The wind blows, moistened by the rain, and it looks particularly comfortable. And at this comfortable time, Zhao Keran is lying on the pear wood lounge chair in the room, concentrating on reading a book, Yue Gu is waiting on the side, everything seems so...

The comfort and tranquility. However, a burst of hurried footsteps ruined everything.

Following the sound of footsteps, the door suddenly opened. Long'er rushed in hurriedly.

"Miss, miss, something big happened." Long'er hurriedly came to Zhao Keran and said breathlessly.

Before Zhao Keran opened his mouth, Yuegu had already frowned and scolded, "What are you doing? You are so small, how do you know the rules?"

"Oh, Yue Gu, I didn't mean it. It was because something big happened, so I was in such a hurry." Long'er explained hurriedly.

Seeing Long'er's anxious look, Zhao Keran found it funny, "What happened? Seeing how anxious you are, people who don't know would think you are rushing to reincarnate!"

"Miss, you still have the heart to joke!" Long'er was extremely anxious, "Do you know what happened? If you knew, you would definitely not be able to be so calm."

"Oh!" Zhao Keran smiled slightly, "Then tell me now what exactly happened!"

"Miss, you don't know, people outside are spreading rumors about Second Miss Lin and Prince Lin. They all say that Prince Lin and Second Miss are engaged, and they also say that they are a match made in heaven." Long'er.

He told Zhao Keran all the rumors he just heard outside.

"What? Prince Lin and Second Young Lady?" Even Yue Gu was not calm now, "How could such a thing happen?"

"I don't know either." Long'er replied, "I don't know why, it just seemed to happen suddenly. Rumors started flying all over the sky. Now I don't even know who spread the rumors."

Hearing Long'er's words, Zhao Keran frowned. What happened? Because Zhao Keren was grounded recently, she also relaxed a lot, but she didn't expect that not long after, something happened again.

Already.

"Long'er, let me ask you, do you know how this rumor originated?" Zhao Keran asked.

Long'er thought for a while and replied, "I heard that it seemed to be coming from the mansion. It should be because everyone saw it when Prince Lin sent the second lady back to Xia Yuyuan after rescuing the second lady.

, that’s why there are so many discussions.”

Was there anything that happened before that Keren fell into the water? After Zhao Keran filtered everything in his mind, he suddenly had an idea. Could it be that Zhao Keren spread these rumors? It seems that when he fell into the water before, Zhao Keren had already

I had thought about doing this. At first, I was still wondering why Zhao Keren chose herself and Lin Xiran as witnesses? It seemed that besides wanting to frame Zhao Ying, she had other purposes.

Now that the rumors outside are spreading so strongly, it seems that my marriage to the Marquis of Zhongyi may not be able to continue. But that’s okay, since I am also trying to find a way to dissolve my marriage to the Marquis of Zhongyi, so why not take advantage of this

thing!

Thinking of this, Zhao Keran couldn't help but make up his mind to break off the engagement this time. However, he really didn't expect that Zhao Keren would use such a method in order to break off the engagement between himself and Lin Xiran. In her previous life, she

She just harmed her reputation and killed herself to get a marriage contract, but she never expected that she would use such a method in this life. If such a method fails, she will be the one who suffers! It seems that she will suffer.

It was the incident when her parents found a marriage for her last time that stimulated her that made her make such a decision.

However, I have to say that she is really taking a risk! You must know that if this thing does not succeed, no one will dare to marry Zhao Keren in this life. Is she really not afraid?

But after getting along with her master, seeing Zhao Keran's silent look, Yuegu thought she was sad! The young lady is really pitiful! Although she and the second young lady are twins, their treatment is completely different. Both the master and the madam look at each other more.

Here is the second young lady. Now that something like this happens, what should the eldest young lady do?

Thinking of this, Yuegu couldn't help but comfort her, "Miss, don't worry, there won't be any surprises. They're just rumors. They will definitely not affect your marriage to Prince Lin."

Seeing Yue Gu comforting himself, Zhao Keran couldn't help but smile. He was not sad at all. There was no good in not wanting a man like Lin Xiran as a gift to him. But of course, Zhao Keran couldn't just say it out loud.

"Yuegu, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Zhao Keran smiled slightly and replied softly.

Seeing Zhao Keran forcing a smile (it was completely Yue Gu's own imagination), Yue Gu felt even sadder, but she did not dare to show it in front of Zhao Keran because it would make Zhao Keran even more sad. Therefore, Yue Gu made an excuse to

He went to help Zhao Keran prepare pastries and hurriedly left the room.

Seeing Yue Gu feeling sad for herself, Zhao Keran felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't tell Yue Gu what was in her heart.

Long'er, who had been watching for a long time, seemed to have discovered some clues. She said with great confusion, "Miss, why do I feel that you are not very sad?"

Zhao Keran didn't expect Long'er to be so sensitive, so he quickly said, "Is it useful to be sad? Besides, it's just some rumors now, so what? Should I be sad because of these false rumors?"

Long'er tilted her head and thought for a moment, and felt that what Zhao Keran said seemed to be right. Nothing happened at all now, so why waste energy on being sad?

"By the way, Long'er, I asked you to pay attention to whether Ling'er has done anything strange recently. Have you noticed anything?"

Zhao Keran quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, miss, if you didn't ask, I almost forgot about it!" Long'er quickly replied, "Miss, I don't know what's going on recently, but Ling'er has become so generous! Not only did she send it home

One hundred taels of silver, and she also bought a lot of new clothes and jewelry!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Hearing Long'er's answer, Zhao Keran narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Ling'er was really bold and had really sold off her Peony Walk. I wonder how Ke Feng's investigation is going now. I must think about it as soon as possible.

The only way is to get Peony Buyao back.

------Dividing line------

As night falls, everything is silent. Logically speaking, everyone should rest at this time. However, because of the rumors flying outside, many people have trouble falling asleep at night, including Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe.

At this time, in Qinghe Pavilion, although it was already late at night, Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe still had not rested. They were sitting on the bed, both with sad faces.

"Sir, tell me, what should we do about this matter?" Qin Xianghe heard the rumors outside, but she didn't know what to do. Both of them were her daughters, and they were both in pain on the palms and backs of their hands.

It was meat, and she really didn't know what to do with it.

Zhao Song also knew about the rumors outside. Today, some colleagues came to ask him when exactly his second daughter was engaged to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion. Why was there no news at all? He didn't know how to answer at that time.

That's great. Does he want to tell everyone that the engagement with the Marquis of Zhongyi is true, but the engagement is not with his second daughter, but with his eldest daughter? She cannot afford to lose such face.

"Alas," Zhao Song sighed, "this matter is so difficult to handle!"

"Master, this matter must be handled well!" Qin Xianghe said, "If it is not handled well, both of our daughters will be ruined!"

"I know this too, but I have to say that this matter is indeed difficult to solve." Zhao Song was also very helpless, "The marriage between Prince Lin and Keran was based on fingertips, but now something like this has happened.

Something happened, and Keren was also dragged into the water."

"Well, Prince Lin has good intentions, and we can't blame him. Besides, if it hadn't been for Prince Lin at that time, Keren would have drowned long ago." Qin Xianghe was also very helpless, "But

, so many people saw Prince Lin hugging Keren, and so many rumors spread, what should we do now?"

"This matter seems to be difficult to solve." Zhao Song sighed, "Rumors have spread all over the sky now. If we don't find a way to solve it as soon as possible, then Keren's future will be worrying!"

Zhao Song was also very angry. Keren was cultivated by him. Not only was she beautiful and generous, but she was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was definitely one of the best ladies in the capital. She could not be ruined like that. But, what else?

What's the solution?

Qin Xianghe couldn't help complaining, "If Zhao Ying hadn't pushed Ke Ren into the water, then nothing like this would have happened. I told you at the beginning that it must be Zhao Ying who pushed Ke Ren into the water on purpose.

Maybe she was the one who brought this incident to light."

Qin Xianghe is so angry that her teeth are itching when she thinks of Zhao Ying. If Zhao Ying hadn't pushed Keren into the water, none of this would have happened now. It was all that Xiaojianren's fault and hers.

Like a mother, she would only fight against her. No matter what, she would never let go of the mother and daughter. Qin Xianghe secretly made up his mind.

Hearing Qin Xianghe's complaints, Zhao Song said very impatiently, "I didn't know who was who and what was wrong in what happened at the beginning. Why are you still complaining here? Did you see Ying'er push Keren into the water?

?If you haven’t seen it, then don’t complain here. If you really have that much time, it would be better to think about how to solve this problem.”

In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhao Song still complained about Zhao Ying in his heart. He actually thought that if it weren't for Zhao Ying, things would not have become so bad, but he would never regret his original decision. In the final analysis

, he is a headstrong person, that's why he is so disgusted with Qin Xianghe mentioning what happened before.

After hearing Zhao Song's scolding, Qin Xianghe was very unwilling, but she no longer struggled with that matter. After all, Zhao Song was her husband, and she would not fall out with Zhao Song over such a thing.

In addition, the most important thing now is the pleasant things, and everything else can be put on hold for now.

"Sir, what do you think, let's let Keren get engaged to Prince Lin?" Qin Xianghe suddenly suggested, "In this way, we can not only preserve Keren's reputation, but also find such a good marriage for Keren.

, kill two birds with one stone.”

"You're crazy." Zhao Song looked at Qin Xianghe in disbelief, "Prince Lin is Keran's fiancé! If you let Keren get engaged to Prince Lin now, what will happen to Keran?"

Zhao Song couldn't believe it. How could Qin Xianghe come up with such a bad idea, asking her daughter to get engaged to her future brother-in-law? It was a shame she could think of it.

However, the more Qin Xianghe thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible, "Master, don't object in a hurry, just listen to me!"

Zhao Song frowned and looked at Qin Xianghe to see what reason she could come up with.

Qin Xianghe analyzed, "Master, think about it! Although Keran and Prince Lin are married on the fingertips, who else knows about this apart from our two families? Moreover, although they are married on the fingertips

, but to put it bluntly, it is just a verbal promise between the two families, and no ceremony has been held, and there is not even a matchmaker! So far, it is only the order of the parents, and there is no word of matchmaking? "

You should know that the wedding ceremony is very complicated. It is divided into seven steps: negotiating with matchmakers, exchanging invitations, betrothal, giving gifts, welcoming the bride, paying homage to the court and making wedding arrangements.

1. It is said that "if there are no clouds in the sky, it will not rain, and if there is no matchmaker on the ground, there will be no marriage." In traditional marriage, the man and woman must go through a matchmaker before they can get married. The matchmaker can take the initiative to do the job and matchmaking for the man and woman, or he can be a matchmaker.

Being entrusted by others is the beauty of adulthood. There is also a saying that "the orders of parents are the words of matchmakers", which is the truth.

Second, exchange Geng Tie, that is, correcting the horoscope and predicting the zodiac. The ancients were very particular about marriage. If the man's family wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, they would first obtain the woman's horoscope from the woman's family, and then hand it over to the fortune teller to calculate whether it would be compatible with the son. This is commonly known as "Jiawu".

"Clip". If the woman's horoscope is negative or conflicts with her son's horoscope, the two families cannot form a marriage. You can also place a post with the woman's birth date and horoscope in front of the gods and ancestors of the man's family to predict good luck within three days.

, if everything goes well at home, the man and woman can become in-laws.

Third, fixed appointment, that is, the exchange of letters of appointment. The appointment letter is usually prepared by the groom's family. Before the appointment is made, all gifts have been listed in the gift list. The groom's family only pays a small half of the gift, commonly known as the upper half of the gift. When making the appointment, it can also be used as a gift.

The gold ring is a betrothal gift. On the day of the betrothal, both the male and female families hold a banquet to entertain relatives and friends. Participants only join in the fun and do not give gifts.

Fourth, gift-giving should be carried out about twenty days or one or two months before the wedding. The most important thing in gift-giving is the gift money. Since the first half of the gift has been taken when the engagement was made, it is commonly known as the second half of the gift when all is paid.

The gifts are listed in a gift list and placed in the gift book. The gift list must contain fabrics, silks, gauze, etc. These fabrics are used to sew clothes for the wedding. The bride’s family should also return some gifts, repair the gift book, and hand it over to the recipient.

After bringing back and giving gifts, the wedding date is not too far away.

5. On the day of the wedding, the groom's family fires cannons, plays music, and sends out sedans to welcome the bride. The matchmaker takes the lead, followed by the groom, bridesmaids, sedans, bands, and box teams, all arriving in a mighty manner. As soon as the sedan arrives, the bride's family plays music and fires cannons.

Welcome. After the welcoming team enters the hall of the bride’s family, the sedan lands on the ground, and the groom bows to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Under the guidance of the matchmaker, after saluting the bride’s ancestral tablet and elders, the bridesmaid takes the bride’s arm and gets on the sedan. When getting on the sedan,

, the bride generally has to "cry to get married" to express her attachment to her parents. The way back from marriage must take another way, which is also called no turning back.

6. On the wedding day, the bride and groom hold a ceremony. The groomsmen appear as "Yin Zan" and "Tong Zan" respectively. The process of worship is as follows: Yin Zan: the groom stands in front of the sedan. Tong Zan: Qi

The newlyweds get up from the sedan chair. Yin Zan: The groom bows (invites the bride with his hands) Yin Zan: The bridegroom and bride go straight to the front of the flower hall. Yin Zan: The bridegroom and bride take their seats. Tong Zan: The bridegroom and bride offer incense. Yin Zan: Kneel down and offer incense. Tong Zan:

Kneel down, kowtow, kowtow again, kowtow three times, and bow three times: one to heaven and earth, two to the high hall, the husband and wife bow to each other, and finally enter the bridal chamber.

7. Making trouble in the bridal chamber The main reason for making trouble in the bridal chamber is that in ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents. Neither the man nor the man had any contact before the marriage. Some of them had never even met each other, let alone understanding and familiarity. Now all of a sudden

Becoming a couple must be very strange. With such a process of having a wedding ceremony, the indifferent atmosphere can be changed, so that the couple can reduce the unfamiliarity as much as possible and get the couple into a state of intimacy as soon as possible.

Only when all the above steps are completed can a man and a woman become a real couple. Although Zhao Keran and Lin Xiran were married by fingertips, they did not even have to complete the matchmaking, exchange of invitations, and employment before the marriage.

Nothing has ever been done, so although the two of them are said to be an unmarried couple, they are just in name but not in harmony with each other after all.

After hearing Qin Xianghe's words, Zhao Song's attitude seemed to have relaxed, and he didn't even frown so tightly.

"Is this really okay?" Zhao Song asked.

Qin Xianghe saw that Zhao Song's attitude had relaxed, and he quickly continued to persuade, "In fact, no one knows that Keran and Prince Lin are engaged, right? Even if the engagement is terminated, what will happen outside?

No one will know! This will not cause any damage to Keran's reputation. In the future, if you become the Marquis of Zhenbei, you can just find a better marriage for Keran.

? If this matter is not resolved well, then Keren’s reputation will be ruined. What should we do in the future?”

Zhao Song was still very hesitant, "Is this too cruel to Keran? Will she agree?"

"Master, Keran is also my daughter, how can I be willing to hurt her?" Qin Xianghe was also very helpless, "But this matter can only be solved this way. Plus, you see, Keran

If you love your sister so much, you will definitely agree."

Zhao Song still couldn't decide.

Seeing Zhao Song's look, Qin Xianghe continued, "Look, Keran is timid and timid by nature. Even if she really marries Prince Lin, it's still unclear whether she will be favored. But Keren is different. You

You know, Ke Ren is not only beautiful, but also intelligent. If she marries Prince Lin, she will definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of Madam Zhongyi Hou in the future. This will also be good for your future development, sir!"

"Alas," Zhao Song sighed, "It seems that this is all we can do."

It has to be said that Qin Xianghe really knows Zhao Song very well. He knows where Zhao Song's weaknesses are. What Zhao Song cares about most is his future.

Hearing that Zhao Song agreed, Qin Xianghe finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he knew very well that this incident would hurt Keran a lot, but there was no way, she had to keep Keren.

She does prefer Keran to her two daughters. So she can only feel sorry for Keran about this incident. However, Keran is also her daughter, and she will definitely find a good marriage for Keran in the future.

of.

"Then I will go back to my home tomorrow and discuss it with my father." Zhao Song said, "You should find time to have a good chat with Keran tomorrow and understand her!"

"Okay, I will, don't worry!"

After settling this matter, the two of them were finally in the mood to sleep.

Just after Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe fell asleep, they did not notice that a white figure leaped down from their roof and disappeared into the night.

After about a cup of tea, the white figure came to Chunhui Garden. He opened the window with a familiarity and jumped in. However, what was different from the last time was that Zhao Keren had already fallen asleep and did not look.

to the arrival of the white figure.

As usual, Situ Xu came to Zhao Keran's bed and looked at Zhao Keran's sleeping face quietly. Unknowingly, his eyes showed a trace of pity.

In fact, not long after meeting Zhao Keran, Situ Xu had already sent people to investigate everything about Zhao Keran. Therefore, he knew that the rumors outside were all false. Zhao Keren was not Lin Xiran’s fiancée, she was. But

, this also made him very unhappy, as if there was an unknown fire burning in his heart, and he felt inexplicable anger. From that time on, he knew that he fell in love with this woman. No, not only liked it, but even

It can be said that he has fallen in love with her. Maybe he has started to like her since he listened to her piano music! Especially after chatting face to face with her last time, he became even more sure that this woman is the one

He has been looking for someone who can accompany him for the rest of his life.

Situ Xu is definitely the kind of person who does whatever he wants. Once he understands what he wants, he will never back down. Even if she already has a fiancé, he will never give up. Moreover, he has already checked

Well, her fiancé Lin Xiran is not a good person at all. Although he is engaged to her, he has been secretly interacting with her sister in private. Such a man is simply not worthy of such an indifferent and detached woman like her.

So, he decided to find a way to break her engagement. Situ Xu didn't think this was a despicable thing at all. After all, her fiancé was not a good person. However, before he took action, rumors were already flying all over the sky.

After hearing these rumors, he was afraid that she would be sad, so he came here tonight specifically to see her and comfort her if she was unhappy. Of course, he could also increase the relationship between them, then

Better.

However, I didn't expect that before I came to her place, I overheard her name when passing by her parents' bedroom, so I wanted to eavesdrop and get to know her better. However, I didn't expect that the more I listened,

The more he felt that her parents were really rotten, yes, they were rotten.

He didn't want to comment on her parents like this, but her parents' behavior was really too much. It can be heard from their words that there was only Zhao Keren in their hearts, and they were even willing to sacrifice for Zhao Keren.

Their other daughter.

No wonder her music was so sad, no wonder she was so defensive. It turned out that in this family, her life was not as good as it seemed. Her younger sister hooked up with her fiancé, and her parents blindly favored her, even to the point of sacrificing her.

She came to save her sister. What kind of parents are these!

This made him feel very angry. Her parents had never considered it from her perspective. You know, in this era, it is such a big deal for a woman to have an engagement with her fiancé.

Attack. They will only favor that Zhao Keren. If that woman is good, she will put on airs and secretly hook up with her future brother-in-law.

At this time, Situ Xu had no idea that even if Zhao Keran did not break off the engagement this time, he would find a way. Now, all he felt was pity for Zhao Keran.

Looking at Zhao Keran's peaceful sleeping face, Situ Xu swore in his heart that he would be good to Zhao Keran. He would spend his whole life proving it.

Zhao Keran didn't know that while she was sleeping, a man was secretly making up his mind to promise her a lifetime. This also destined her to live a completely different life from her previous life.

I don’t know since when, but the wheel of fate has actually deviated from the track of the previous life. Perhaps this is the meaning of God’s decision to give Zhao Keran another rebirth!
