Chapter 1 Rebirth by Falling Water

Jiang Yishi had already been reborn for three days, returning from the twenty-second year of Jianrong to the sixteenth year of Jianrong.

Fifteen years old, as young as a flower.

Three days ago, in the Yichang Grand Princess House of peach blossom banquet, Jiang Yishi was suddenly hit by a person, feet slipped, and looked to fall into the lake, in a hurry to pull the standing next to the Meng three dukes of Meng Ruyu, the two fell into the water together.

Wake up again, has been through the vicissitudes of Jiang Yishi. It was not easy to marry into a high family, by her husband and in-laws harsh treatment rubbing, and was designed with the eldest uncle “fornication”, and finally died in the nunnery.

She seemed to have dreamed a long, long dream, but the dream was so real. After carefully recalling everything that happened in the dream, she decided that it was not a dream, but that she had been reborn.

Although she was reborn after falling into the water, it was good that she hadn’t been betrothed to Third Duke Meng yet, everything was still in time.

She knew that the streets and alleys of the Shangjing City were now full of legends that the Jiang Er girl of the Wu Xiang Bo House had a high heart and a bad heart, and that she had hardwired herself to the first second son of the Duke of Cheng Guo, Meng Zhui Yu, who had the appearance of Pan An and the talent of Zi Jian, and who had made almost all of the young ladies fall in love with him.

Many people are regretting that if the second girl Jiang really marries the third son of Meng, it will be a flower stuck on cow dung. There were even idle chatterers betting on whether or not Second Miss Jiang could marry Third Duke Meng, with odds of twenty to one.

Mrs. Jiang, Uncle Wu Xiang Jiang Xiao, and Mrs. Jiang Zhou couldn’t wait to strangle Jiang Yishi to death.

The Wuxiangfu House was already in decline, and they would not even be invited to the Flower Appreciation Banquet of the top gentry. Jiang Xiao couple’s second daughter, Jiang House third girl Jiang YiYan is already fourteen years old, in order to make a good marriage for her, Jiang big lady a few months ago began to plan, relations to relations, but also sent a heavy gift, and finally entrusted to the Yichang Grand Princess’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zheng, only to get a sticker.

Jiang family has a total of five girls, the eldest girl Jiang Yihui just married at the beginning of the year, the remaining four girls twelve to fifteen years old, are up to the age of the marriage, the old lady so that Mrs. Jiang will be the first lady to bring a few girls to the banquet.

I didn’t expect Jiang Yixi to make such a big deal.

Things have been out, if Jiang Yishi really can marry into the Chengdu Mansion, the bad into good, and Chengdu Mansion as in-laws. But if the Duke of Cheng ignores them, and those rumors spread all over the place, the reputation of the Jiang family girls will be ruined. Not only will Jiang Yishi not be able to find a good family, but the other girls won’t be able to find good families either.

For the Duke of Cheng might be able to agree to this marriage, the Jiang family still saved a little bit of luck. During the great war between the Jin Dynasty and the Western Liang Dynasty, Jiang Yishi’s father, Jiang Chen, died saving the eldest grandson of the Duke of Cheng, Meng Zhimo.

Meng Ling, the Duke of Cheng, was the Marshal of the Jin Dynasty’s troops and horses in that great battle, and at the age of 55, he went to war and defeated the enemy in four years, winning the Emperor’s favor and the people’s love.

Meng Ling returned to the court last year and handed over the military symbols, passing the title to his eldest son, Meng Daoming. Though he still holds the title of Master of the Crown, he stays away from the affairs of the court and spends almost half of his time with his eldest grandson in the Zhuangzi to recuperate from his illness.

On his way back to the court, Meng Zhimo fell off a cliff while crossing a mountain. Although he recovered his life, his left eye was blind and his right eye had blurred vision.

The old Cheng Gongfu remembered Jiang Chen’s love, not yet returned to the capital on the letter to the eldest son, sent Mrs. Jiang 5,000 taels of silver, promised Jiang Chen daughter Jiang Yishi over the mourning period to help her find a good marriage, but also out of a dowry. When Jiang Chen’s son Jiang Xun grows up, he is responsible for his future. To the mediocre and some limp Wuxiang uncle Jiang Xiao in the military governor’s office to find a civil position, but also to the Jiang three old master Jiang Bo promoted to from the fourth rank of the deputy senator.

In this way, in addition to Jiang Yishi siblings became orphans, Jiang family other people are due to Jiang Chen’s death got big profit.

This year is exactly three years after the mourning period.

If the old Cheng Gongfu still remember that love, there is still the possibility of settling that marriage.

Because holding this slim hope, Jiang old lady and Jiang big lady endure liver pain, also endure not immediately punished Jiang Yishi.

Jiang old lady has been at home waiting for the Duke of Cheng to come home to discuss the aftermath of the matter, until this morning did not wait for the Meng family. As soon as she finished her lunch, the old lady took Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang to the Duke of Chengdu’s residence.

Jiang Yishi knew that the Duke of Cheng didn’t even let them in. She also knows that tomorrow morning the Duke and Mrs. Meng will personally come to the Wu Xiangfu House to settle the marriage between Meng Yu and Jiang Yishi, and will be married in the first month of next year.

The Duke and Duchess of Cheng hate Jiang Yishi, who has been counting on their son, so of course they will not agree to the marriage, and they will hide it from the old Duke of Cheng who is in a manor house in the outskirts of the capital. But the old Duke Cheng suddenly returned to the house, learned of that incident, forced his son in law to go to the Wu Xiang Bo House to set the marriage ……

Jiang Yixi can no longer be in bed quite a corpse, waiting for the old lady to come back to have a showdown with her.

Nurse Wu and maid Shui Xiang served Jiang Yishi to get up.

In her previous life, after that incident, both Sister Wu and Shui Xiang were killed. Seeing them, Jiang Yishi was filled with guilt.

Sister Wu had a sad face. Quietly instructing, ”Miss, the old slave feels that even if the Meng family wants to marry you, you shouldn’t marry in. They won’t treat you sincerely, and you’ll suffer.”

Jiang Yishi said, “Sister don’t worry, I won’t have that delusion.”

What even Sister Wu could see through, she and many others in the Jiang family could not in her previous life. Perhaps it was said that they thought too well and were blinded by pomp and circumstance.

After lying down for three days and three nights, all her bones were sore.

Jiang Yishi came to the courtyard, the small courtyard was not big, only three main houses and two side rooms. There is a chaste tree growing on the right wall, the canopy of the tree covers half of the courtyard on this side, and on the other side of the wall, the fourth girl Jiang Yirou’s courtyard.

In front of the window there was a begonia. When the red flowers bloomed all over the branches, it was like a cloud of vapor. On the ground there were also several pots of moonflowers, large and colorful. Jiang Yishi named the courtyard “Scorching Courtyard.

She returned to this place from the green stone nunnery six years later, when the spring light is thick, Shaohua just ……

Jiang Yishi’s eyes welled up with tears, but her mouth smiled, lifting her feet and walking towards the courtyard door.

Shui Xiang followed.

Jiang Yishi shook her head, “I’ll walk by myself.”

After six years and a lifetime apart, this home Jiang Yishi was already very unfamiliar.

After walking through a few moon gates, through a couple of verandas and the canal next to the Bi Pond, she arrived at the garden.

Flowers of all colors in the garden were open with abandon, beautiful purples and reds, and the wind was filled with a strong fragrance of flowers ……

She went to walk to the peach blossom tree, overhead is a pink, between the two trees hanging a swing. When the wind passed, the swing swung a little higher, pieces of petals floating down with the wind. The petals slid across her cheeks, soft and moist.

She sat on the swing. The swing was a long white chair painted with lacquer, gently swinging, comfortable. This kind of leisurely state of mind only existed before she married into the Meng family.

As the swing swung and swung, she became sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.

The dream of her previous life followed her.
