Chapter 478 Aunt's old affairs, language arts (1)
"It's more than that."

Qiu Mingrong said coldly again: "Fifth sister knows that we have an aunt, she is my grandmother's biological daughter. But since I was born until now, I have never seen my aunt. Do you know why?"

Qiu Mingzhu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to stop her, but finally it turned into a sigh and stopped speaking.

Qiu Mingyue's eyes lighted with interest, "Oh? I've always been wondering. I've been home for so long, but I've never heard anyone mention my aunt. Why?"

Qiu Mingrong glanced at Qiu Mingzhu, seeing that she had no objection, he said, "Because it is a taboo of the Qiu Mansion, a taboo that anyone can touch."

"Taboo?"

Qiu Mingyue's eyes flickered, thinking, there are so many secrets in the Qiu Mansion.

"What kind of taboo?"

Qiu Mingrong sighed, his eyes drifted away, with a bit of depression and melancholy.

"Fifth sister, you also know that the capital is famous and rich, and there are not a few people who marry their sons and daughters. Back then, my aunt also had a marriage contract with someone since she was a child. The other party was the son of the Marquis of Yangning, who is the Marquis of Yangning today. "

Qiu Mingyue thought about it, thinking that a few days ago Feng Qingli had sent her a list of four concubines that the empress wanted to fill in for the eldest prince, and one of them was Dou Yunzi, the prostitute daughter of Marquis Yangning.

"This was a good marriage. The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, and the family is right. But she didn't want to, when it was the year of aunt Jiji, she suddenly wanted to regret the marriage. She vowed not to marry Yang Ninghou."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Qiu Mingrong frowned, "I don't know the details of this matter, I just heard my aunt mention it..." When she said this, her eyes were slightly sad, she must be thinking of her biological mother who had passed away.

Qiu Mingyue squinted her eyes, it was Aunt Yu again!Although I had only met that woman once, and at that time she had been described as haggard and dying, she still gave me an unfathomable feeling.She seemed to know a lot of things, and seemed to be calculating something, but she just died silently.However, Qiu Mingyue felt that even if that woman died, she still couldn't see through her.No one has ever given her such a feeling of being secretive, like falling into a cloud.She wanted to push through the clouds and get a glimpse of its appearance.However, that person didn't give her this chance and just passed away silently.

Aunt Yu, who was close to the old matriarch back then, knows some secrets that outsiders cannot know, so it makes sense.

At this time, Qiu Mingzhu spoke.

"Nineteen years ago, when there was chaos in Kyoto, my grandmother took my aunt to Yangzhou to seek refuge. My fifth sister must know."

Qiu Mingyue nodded.

"I know. It was at that time that my grandmother and my grandmother made a marriage agreement between my father and my mother."

Qiu Mingzhu glanced at her, and said, "Fifth Sister, I know you have a sense of propriety, but I still have to remind you. No matter how much Uncle wants to mention Aunt Shen as a flat wife, what do you call her at home?" All good. But to the outside world, everyone only knows that the eldest master of the Qiu Mansion has only one official wife, and that is the eldest aunt. She is also your only aunt. You must know that people like us pay the most attention to these rules of etiquette. If you show any taboo, you will be laughed at by others. Therefore, after leaving the Qiu Mansion, Aunt Shen can only be your aunt."

Qiu Mingyue's eyelashes trembled.No one in the carriage spoke, and everyone knew that Qiu Mingzhu's words were not alarmist.

Since the founding of the country, Dazhao has regarded itself as a state of etiquette. From the emperor to the people, there are hundreds of officials and courtiers, all of whom respect.What's more, those feudal dogmas were too harsh on women.If there is even a slight mistake, it may ruin your life.Therefore, facing Qiu Mingzhu's cold-blooded warning, no one would think that there was anything wrong with her words.

After a while, Qiu Mingyue smiled.

"Fourth sister is worrying too much."

She closed her eyes and leaned quietly on the cushion.

"I understand the truth that disaster comes from the mouth."

Qiu Mingzhu heaved a sigh of relief, "You just need to understand."

Qiu Mingyue didn't open her eyes, her hair drooped down, covering half of her face, including her trembling eyelashes.The window curtains were blown by the wind, casting faint shadows in the car from time to time.

Silent, silent.

Qiu Mingzhu took a deep breath and smiled wryly. "That's all in the past. Originally, as juniors, we shouldn't comment too much. But today is special. Presumably, the young lady of Yangning Hou's Mansion will also attend the flower viewing feast of Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and we will always meet her. Back then People of the older generation know that if someone with good intentions stirs up trouble, if you don’t know why, I’m afraid that people will take advantage of it.” She paused, “Forget it, anyway, sooner or later you’ll have to deal with these things. You have to know, it’s better for me to tell you now, so you should be mentally prepared.” Qiu Mingyue didn’t open her eyes, “Fourth sister, tell me, I’ll listen.” Qiu Mingzhu straightened her thoughts and said: “That year, grandma Taking my aunt back to Beijing, I met someone on the way." Qiu Mingyue still didn't open her eyes, but her eyelashes trembled.Covered by black hair, her red lips curled up in a beautiful curve.She already thought of the bloody plot behind it.

"That was a young general from the border town, surnamed Chu. That year when I went home to visit my relatives, I happened to meet my grandmother and her party."

When she said this, she sighed slightly. "Young men and women, love is just beginning to sprout, so..." She didn't continue to say the following words, but no one could guess the following story.Girlish feelings, when you meet a man you are attracted to, it is easy to be desperate.Qiu Mingrong took over the words, "My aunt fell in love with that person, but it is not allowed in the world, not in the rites, not in the Qiu Mansion and the Yangning Hou Mansion. So they were separated abruptly...Grandmother asked aunt to be locked in the room , thinking of time to send my aunt directly to the sedan chair. But my aunt was so stubborn that she would not eat or drink, and fainted from hunger. Grandmother was frightened, so she hurriedly let aunt out." The carriage gurgled, and the wheels pressed The sound of rubbing on the bluestone floor can't cover the lively shouting outside the car.Qiu Mingyue has opened her eyes, breathing lightly.She suddenly smiled, listening to this story, she suddenly thought of the old man.As expected of brothers and sisters, they are both so stubborn. "Fifth Sister, what are you laughing at?" Qiu Ming looked at her confusedly.Qiu Mingyue coughed lightly, "It's nothing, I just thought of something. Go ahead!" "Yeah." Qiu Ming nodded without doubting him. "I don't know that part very well, but I just heard my aunt talk intermittently before. After the grandmother let the aunt out, she sent someone to guard her, lest she make the slightest mistake. The aunt was determined to destroy the marriage, and she did not hesitate to persecute her. Grandma There was no other way, but grandma was furious. Because not long ago, her uncle was named Yangzhou Shen..." She stopped suddenly and looked at Qiu Mingyue.Qiu Mingyue raised her willow eyebrows slightly, counting the time, it was at that time that the Eldest Master was forced to marry the Eldest Lady.At that time, Qiu's house was in turmoil, so it's no wonder Tailao Furen was not furious. "What happened next?" Qiu Mingyue asked lightly, playing with her hair with her fingers, without moving.Qiu Mingrong didn't see anything strange on her face, so he let out a sigh of relief, and said: "Grandma Zu is very angry, Aunt Yan Ming must marry the son of Marquis Yangning, otherwise she will be kicked out of the family and removed from the family tree of the Qiu Mansion." Carriage Although it is big enough, with so many people sitting, it is inevitable that the air will be a bit stuffy.Qiu Mingyue took the warm water from Qiu Mingxu and took a sip.Hearing this, the person smiled unknowingly.
