Chapter 3

The doors and windows were locked, and Ling Yun was trapped in this small house.

There was no chair in the room, so he simply sat cross-legged on the mat, supported his chin with one hand, and began to seriously consider the situation in front of him. There is no doubt that he is in the Sui Dynasty now, and no matter what the reason is, this may be something that cannot be changed. What he wants to think about now is how to survive here.

First of all, he is still his identity. Although he has changed his body, he has not inherited any memory. The Gao sisters are called Yi Feng, and it seems that the word on the jade pendant is his name. But even if he is really called Yi Feng, he doesn't know where the Yi Feng family is. What's more, now he is forced to marry into a family by the Gao family and cannot get out of it. Thinking of this marriage, Ling Yun felt a little bit of pain. A good man is actually forced to eat a soft meal.

Although Gao Qianxue is good, what's wrong with her white hair? He estimated that it was very likely to be a disease, maybe it was albinism. Otherwise, with the Gao family's family business, it would be unlikely that a stranger would force a stranger to marry into her. Even though he had some skin kinship with her when he saved the person, the ancients also had a temporary solution like a sister-in-law and uncle-supporting agent, so the Gao family could not understand. The only explanation was that Bai Qianxue was sick and could not marry, so she forced him to marry into her.

If it were later generations, the Gao family would be considered a small wealthy family, and it would not be too much pressure to marry into a wealthy family like this.

But when is it now? The 18th year of Kaihuang. If he remembers correctly, the status of the son-in-law in this era was quite low. It can be said in history books that in the Qin and Han dynasties, the son-in-law was almost equivalent to a low-key servant in the family. Because he got married to the daughter of the master's family, he was called "the son-in-law". The poor man was in a wealthy family and could not redeem himself after the expiration, so he was recruited to be a concubine. His status was low and his hair was shaved off, and he was one of the targets of serving the border guards. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the officials always treated the son-in-law as a fugitive, merchant, and criminal officials. It was of the nature of a pariah and was often conscripted to remote areas to serve labor or guard.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, although the law of serving the son-in-law to guard the border was abolished, his status was not improved.

The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty did not need son-in-law or advocate merchants, because the soldiers only had good children, and the son-in-law did not belong to the good children.

The son-in-law not only has a low social status, but also has an extremely low status in the family. Although they do not need to shave their hair now, they have to follow their wife's surname and settle in the daughter's family when they have a son. The parents of the daughter are parents, and the children born from the mother's surname is the mother's surname, and the sons born from the son-in-law are the son-in-law. There are even many places where men have to change their surnames and change their original surnames to the wife's surname. Their marriage etiquette is also different from ordinary weddings. In some places, they even have to sign a marriage contract, which strictly states the son-in-law's obligations, such as clarifying that the children take their wife's surname and inheriting the woman's surname.

Alas, in ancient times, most people were really unwilling to be this son-in-law.

Tomorrow he will be married and married, and maybe he will have to sign a contract to sell his body. Ling Yun was extremely depressed and thought about it. Do you want to escape from marriage? He wanted to see Gao Qianxue again at this time. He always felt that Gao Qianxue was not as rude as Gao Mingyue, and should be a reasonable person. Unfortunately, the Gao family was in a hurry to get married tomorrow. According to the ceremony, the bride naturally could not meet the groom again today.

In the courtyard hall on the other side of Gaojiazhuang, the bride-to-be Gao Qianxue, who will get married tomorrow, knelt on the table. Gao Mingyue changed into purple outfit and knelt on her lower head. There were several people kneeling in the room, all of whom were old men and women in their fifties.

"Uncle Qian, is his injury okay?"

"Well, Mr. Yi's injury seems to be quite serious, but it's not a vital point. The treatment is quite timely and it's no big deal. This is also because he is strong in his body, so he will not be in trouble if he takes a good rest." Uncle Qian, the old man with white hair and beard, is a doctor in Gaojiazhuang Mansion. He has a high medical skills. Ling Yun has several arrow injuries and knife injuries. In addition, he soaked in the river for a long time and blew in the spring breeze for a long time. As a result, after a few days and a few doses of medicine, he has become very active. "Miss, this Mr. Yi is afraid that his background is not simple." Although Uncle Qian is just a doctor in Gaojiazhuang, he has been old for many years. He has grown up with his sisters. He has to remind him, "The knife wounds and arrow injuries on his body are not simple, and it's even more difficult to escape with such a big injury. Judging from the appearance of this man's muscles, bones and veins, he is a man of strong martial arts, but he is still so young..."

It takes extremely high cost to become a good martial arts when you are poor and rich. In such an era, except for natural divine power, masters are basically from large families. The younger masters are not simpler, and their family background is either rich or noble. However, such people are still involved in such a disaster, and this is probably even more difficult.

Gaojiazhuang accidentally got involved in such right and wrong, but I am afraid it is not a good thing.

"By the way, Mr. Yi insisted that he didn't remember what happened before, and only said that his name was Lingyun."

"Uncle Qian seems he really forgot or...?"

"It's not unusual for him to look like he is lying. In the past, a doctor has encountered a precedent for brain damage and then forgetting past events. Generally speaking, some people will naturally recover their memories afterwards, while others may never remember the past events in their lifetime. In most cases, whether they recover their memories or not will cause any damage to their bodies."

"Gao Yi, how did you go to Yangzhou City to inquire?" Gao Qianxue turned around and asked the warrior Gao Yi.

"In the past few days, I took people to the counties below Yangzhou separately, and even went to Hezhou to the west and Jiangzhou area opposite the river. But I didn't find any family with the Yi family with the surname Yi Feng. We also inquired about the Ling family, but we didn't find anyone named Lingyun, and we couldn't find any information that matched his situation. He seemed to have suddenly appeared. Even before that, no one had seen such a person."

Gao Mingyue said unbelievingly: "This is impossible. That guy looks pretty good, and his clothes are also good. The piece of jade he carries is an item that only the children of a big family have. Uncle Qian also said that he has practiced martial arts. This must be a child of a big family. How could he not find out about his identity?"

"Maybe he is not from Jiangnan. I heard that his accent has a northern accent, or a northerner." said the old butler Gao Bo, "It doesn't matter if you can't find out. You just stayed to marry into the Gao family. Gao Yi, have you noticed that there are some slight figures in Yangzhou recently, or what new things are happening to be there in the official side?"

"After coming back that day, I sent someone to check near the riverside, but found nothing." Gao Yi replied.

"This is strange."

Gao Bo shook his head and looked a little serious, "This means that Yi Feng is indeed quite good. It seems that the people who hurt him behind him are very powerful, and they hide very well. And it seems that they may not be the official guards of the prefectures and counties, otherwise, there would be no need to be so careful."

"Who hurt him?" Gao Mingyue asked.

"Either an enemy takes action, this enemy may be a powerful person who can mobilize official guards, or it may be from another place or from above."

This speculation made everyone in the hall look a little serious, and Yi Feng seemed a little hot.

Gao Qianxue pondered for a moment, "Send some people to find out further away, it is best to find out his identity. In addition, if you can find out who hurt him that day, it is better. Uncle Qian, please be more worried about his injury."

After Qian Bo and Gao Bo and others left, Gao Mingyue accompanied Gao Qianxue back to the room. The two sisters were alone in the room and were silent for a long time.

"Sister, are you really going to marry him?"

"Why, that day, didn't you ask him to marry into the Gao family first, and threaten him to kill someone and throw away the body if he doesn't agree?" Gao Qianxue sat in front of the mirror, pulled out her hair hairpin, and dispersed her long hair. Her long hair spread like a waterfall, and her dazzling whiteness.

"But, Yi Feng's identity is a bit complicated and may not be a good choice." Gao Mingyue said carefully. She didn't quite understand Qianxue's thoughts at this time. She had already figured out the water that day, and it was definitely not a mistake. Although the few people who knew about this matter had been banned by her and were strictly prohibited from spreading it, the fact is the fact. "Sister, has it hurt again recently?"

Gao Qianxue lightly combs her hair with a comb, and her fair face is full of indifference.

"Um."

After a pause, she said, "After that day, I suddenly understood a lot. I had been living a lot in the past twenty years. I just wanted to live a few relaxing days, just like an ordinary woman." She sighed quietly, "Since birth, these white hair and white eyebrows have been called ominous. From childhood to adulthood, everyone looked at me with strange eyes. But that day, after he rescued me from the river, he looked at me, but there was no strangeness at all. For the first time, I felt that I was a normal woman. Mingyue, who is twenty years old, also wants to get married, then have a child, and be a complete woman."

Gao Mingyue felt sad when she heard this, and hugged her and said, "Sister, don't say anything. If you want to marry, we will let him marry you tomorrow and have a lot of children. Don't worry, Uncle Qian's excellent medical skills will definitely make you happy forever."

Gao Qianxue smiled slightly and reached out to hug Gao Mingyue, "Do you think I'm too selfish and will he hate it?"

"As long as my sister is happy, don't worry about him. After tomorrow, he will be yours."

The two sisters laughed together. Gao Qianxue was holding her long silver hair with her palms. She thought to herself, Mr. Yi, just forgive me for being selfish and willful this time. Since you dragged me back from the underworld, and you don’t hate my ominous appearance, and you have such skin friendship with me, then, please help me more so that I will no longer be alone and be a complete woman. Although your identity is complicated, it may also be implicated in Gaojiazhuang, but I am willing to protect you.

She raised her head, her eyes full of hope, one day, I will marry you!
