Chapter 7 The Return of the Daughter
The capital of Dongqin, named Shangdu, is located in the north and has a high terrain. It was the treasure land that was chosen by Emperor Taizu when he founded the country and invited seven Feng Shui masters to build the capital.
Before dawn that day, the news of the victory of the tenth prince Jun Mulin's frontier battle was sent back to Shangdu. At the same time, it also brought about the grief of Jun Mulin's misfortune and unfortunate death on the way back to Beijing.
In the Eastern Qin Dynasty, the whole country was in great mourning.
Emperor Tianhe prepared the most grand funeral for his favorite young son. The white banners rose from the four cities gates and took only one morning to carry the capital. Paper money was everywhere, and all the people traveling were wearing plain clothes.
At the same time, the Bai family of Duke Wenguo's mansion in Beijing was also holding a funeral. Bai Heran, a legitimate lady who was seriously ill and was sent to a distant relative in another county for three years, should have returned to Beijing recently, but she did not expect that she would go crazy halfway through the road and fell off the cliff with her car.
It was shocked that the tenth prince was killed, and all the court officials in Beijing entered the palace, and Duke Wen Guo Bai Xingyan also went.
Seeing Emperor Tianhe was heartbroken, his eyes turned and gave an idea to the old emperor. He said that Duke Wen's mansion was a hereditary first-class title, and his dead daughter was also a legitimate daughter. In terms of status, his daughter Bai Heran and the Tenth Prince Jun Mulin were quite compatible. It would be better to get a ghost marriage between the two families, so as to avoid the tenth prince being lonely there.
Emperor Tianhe was completely disappointed because of the death of his youngest son. He suddenly heard Bai Xingyan’s words and felt that his son was eighteen years old and was so frustrated that he had died in a foreign land before he could even get married. So he waved his hand and gave him a ghost marriage to the Tenth Prince Jun Mulin and Bai Heran, the second lady of Duke Wen’s mansion.
It was in this atmosphere that Bai Heran returned to Shangducheng. When she stood in front of the imperial list attached to the wall of Shangducheng Street, she felt like she was killing her dog.
Ghost marriage? What is ghost marriage? Can people be granted marriage even if they die? This is not just because they have no human rights, it is simply because they have even deprived of ghost power. The feudal system is indeed domineering. People cannot make their own decisions when they live, and even if they die, they cannot escape being merciless at the mercy of the imperial power.
"I don't know who lacked the great master mentioned this, but since I was not dead, I will naturally not count the ghost marriage." She stretched out her hand and tore off the imperial list in front of her.
This caused a big trouble. During the mourning period, there were all over the streets of officials with white belts. As soon as the imperial list was torn, two teams of officials immediately surrounded him, accompanied by a loud shout after another: "Who is so bold to tear the imperial list?"
After the scolding, the officials were stunned.
Why is it a little girl? She is wearing a mess and has a wide robe, and can almost hold her three.
The little girl held the emperor's list in her hand, and her eyes were like a white wolf on a glacier, so cold that they felt cold all over when they looked at it.
For some reason, so many officials actually became interested when facing Bai Heran.
Bai Heran looked around, his eyes getting colder.
From now on, will we live our life under such a system?
There are no tall buildings, no guns, ammunition, and only servile and stick to the rules?
She looked down at the emperor's list in her hand. Somehow, the man soaked in the hot spring water flashed in her mind, and his eyes that were light purple, and she felt uncomfortable.
Bai Heran didn't say anything, searched the original owner's memory in his mind, and walked towards the Duke Wen's mansion.
An official wanted to stop the person, but his companion next to him pulled him and whispered: "Forget it, this little girl may not be in good spirits, maybe she was stimulated. Today, there are many things to do in Beijing, so don't add this money."
The Duke of Wenguo Mansion is located in the west of Shangdu City. The Shangdu of four directions emphasizes wealth in the east, noble in the west, poor in the south, poor in the north, and in the west, noble in the west, noble in the north, and in the west, noble in the west, the Duke of Wenguo Mansion is the most impressive mansion except for the royal palaces.
When she arrived, she saw the door of the mansion open from afar, and countless people led by Bai Xiao came and went, and many people were carrying paper-made sacrificial items into the mansion. Someone stood at the door of the mansion and shouted loudly: "Be careful, these are all the dowry of the second lady, and they must not be damaged. No one dares to be vague. Even if our Duke Wenguo Mansion wants your life, the other end of the Prince's Mansion will not spare you!"
Bai Heran frowned slightly. She had an impression of Zunwang Mansion. The emperor list said that the title of the tenth prince was Zunwang.
She continued to walk forward and stood outside the mansion.
There were many people standing in the door. A woman of 35 or 36 years old was saying sadly: "These dowry is not enough. Bai Fu, you will ask someone to prepare more later. You can't look down on our Duke Wen's Mansion, and you can't let the second girl be bullied when she goes there. The second girl's life is miserable and she cannot enjoy happiness when she lives. Now she is gone, we can't bend her."
