Chapter 379 The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (1)
It was a cold wind and rain outside the Hou Mansion. A woman dressed in red and with green hair was kneeling outside the door. The wind and rain mixed with snow stubble hit the woman. Her already thin body was now more like a reed swaying in the wind and rain. .
A woman in brocade clothes and coat stood beside her, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, crying and persuading.
"Good pity, your body is important. Auntie, go and admit your mistake to your father. How can you keep kneeling here in such a cold weather? You go with your mother and go and admit your mistake to your father."
The woman slowly raised her head, her voice hoarse and weak.
"Mom, General Tie refused to pay homage to me, and even allowed a soldier to insult my daughter on the wedding night. I will never go back to the general's mansion again. Why don't you let me kneel to death... in front of this door... …”
After saying that, the woman's body fell to the side and became unconscious again.
——
"Hiss——"
When Jiang Lai opened his eyes, his head hurt as if it had been torn apart, and his throat felt more like he had swallowed a mouthful of hot sand. His whole body ached, his eyes were sore, and he was dizzy. He leaned against the bed for a while to calm down and see what was going on around him.
In an antique room, she was currently lying on a nanmu bed, with no one around her.
Jiang Lai breathed hard and closed his eyes.
"How to say?"
Little Pudding's voice rang in his ears.
"I just updated the latest system. It's fine now. Come and watch the plot directly."
After finishing speaking, the entire plot of the book immediately poured into my mind.
"The Hou Men's Daughter Conquers the World" is a very traditional and ancient fictional novel. It tells the story of Jiang Yu, the most magnificent daughter of the Hou Men, who relied on her beauty and wisdom to lead the Hou family's house, which was about to be confiscated, to overcome many crises. In the end, he saved his family and rose to prominence.
The heroine Jiang Yu is famous all over the world for her talent and beauty. She has been a well-known noble girl in the capital since she was a child. It was not until the Hou's backer, Concubine Duan, was thrown into the cold palace, and the Hou was involved in the scandal of corruption and bribery, leading to the The Hou Mansion, which stands at the pinnacle of power in the capital, is about to face the desperate situation of having its entire family confiscated and the entire family being made prisoners.
The heroine has also been criticized for this, and many nobles in the capital want to take advantage of her. Fortunately, the heroine is smart and has always had noble people to help her, so she has been able to protect herself.
The decline of the Hou Mansion is the background. As for the first cannon fodder of this article, the original owner Jiang Lai, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, was born to a concubine. She has always had little sense of existence, but she also takes up a lot of words in the article.
Because the original owner was the most loyal sister of the heroine, and the Hou family was in trouble, when the heroine was considering dedicating herself to serve her family, the original owner stepped forward and agreed to the marriage proposal from the general's palace on her behalf, marrying the legendary fierce and cold-blooded man with a strong body like Xiong, the ugly general Tie Yi.
As a result, on the wedding day, not only did Tie Yi not come to greet the bride, the original owner was sent directly to the general's mansion in a small sedan. When the wedding night was full of flowers and candles, a random soldier came to the wedding for him.
If the original owner had not seen this soldier guarding the door on her wedding day, she would not have survived in this era where life and death were both minor and important.
Afterwards, the original owner ran back to the Hou's Mansion overnight. This move angered the general and also affected the Hou's Mansion. The Marquis directly ordered the door to be closed to prevent the original owner from entering.
Later, the original owner fell seriously ill and fell in the rain, but the heroine took the initiative to plead for mercy and took Jiang Lai in for recuperation.
Everyone knew why the original owner went through this. General Tie Yi wanted Jiang Yu, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, but it was Jiang Lai, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, who was sent over and slapped him in the face. Of course Tie Yi was angry.
In order not to drag down the Hou Mansion and the heroine, the original owner took the initiative to go to the General's Mansion to plead for mercy. He knelt in front of Tie Yi and begged him to let the Hou Mansion go. In the end, he was sent back a divorce letter and became the laughing stock of the capital.
Soon the Hou Mansion was investigated, the Marquis's salary was cut off, and all the private shops and stores of the Hou Mansion were closed down. All the pampered children of the Hou Mansion suffered, and the family's food and clothing expenses became tense. Even the traveling carriages were dragged out to pay debts.
Mr. Hou is old and frail, and Mrs. Hou is even sick and needs to take medicine every day to recuperate her body. After the seizure, Mrs. Hou can no longer afford the medicine and her health is getting worse. The heroine has no choice but to directly propose to marry the capital at the dinner table. The son of the richest man, this way the daily expenses of the Hou Mansion will be covered.
Huangfu Zhao, the son of the richest man, is a ship merchant with countless money. Most of the national treasury is filled by the Huangfu family. However, being an official in this country is the most expensive, and doing business is the lowest. Even if he is rich, his status is still not high. In the past, he would definitely not be worthy of a prince's mansion. daughter.
What's more, Huangfu Zhao was notoriously fat and incompetent, and he loved to have sex with women. His life was very chaotic and debauched. How could the Marquis agree? Mrs. Hou would rather die of illness than let her daughter suffer such injustice.
Just when the heroine was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, the cannon fodder Jiang Lai took the initiative to stand up again. She was willing to marry Huangfu Zhao and borrow money from the Huangfu family to help the Hou Mansion tide over the difficulties.
In this way, after the general broke off the engagement, Jiang Lai soon married Huangfu Zhao. Although she was known as the daughter of the Hou family, everyone knew that Hou Luomo was declining, and she was remarried again. Let alone the ceremony on the wedding day. , there was not even a person to bring the bride, and only a small sedan chair was carried into the Huangfu's house.
After getting married, the royal family lent a large sum of money to the Hou Mansion as agreed. The heroine borrowed the money to find her uncle who was an official in another country. With the help of his uncle's power, she cleared the grievances of the Hou Mansion and the Marquis was reused by the emperor.
During this period, although there were many difficulties, there were always noble people secretly helping her. In the end, the heroine found out that the person who had been helping her was the sixth prince of the dynasty, the emperor's most valued son, who was both talented and beautiful and full of conspiracy theories.
The two supported them all the way and finally achieved success. The sixth prince ascended the throne and made the heroine Jiang Yu his queen. They became a couple for the rest of their lives, making others envious.
As for the original owner Jiang Lai, he had no chance to return to the Hou Mansion after joining the Huangfu family. It was better to say that it was a marriage than a sale. The Hou Mansion sold the original owner to the Huangfu family, and in the next ten years, he gave birth to the Huangfu family. Seven children, the last child died in childbirth in bed.
There is very little description of her death in the article, except that the heroine sighed and nothing more.
"The original owner is a bit great. He is willing to be a stepping stone for the heroine. Is this a brain problem or something wrong with his brain?"
In the key text, the original owner’s mother has been persuading the original owner to put the overall situation first. Good guy, both mother and daughter are reincarnated as the Virgin?
Jiang Lai read all the plots and found that there was a hidden plot behind it.
"This novel is quite interesting, and there is a hidden plot."
"Take a look, be careful not to get mad."
Little Pudding had seen it in advance, and now he looked at Jiang Lai with sympathy.
Jiang Lai picked up his energy and continued to read, his eyes gradually brightened.
Good guy, no wonder. (End of chapter)
