In 1035 AD, during EastHan Kingdom's Hongde era, Clear Water Prefecture's Mang Shan.
The sun had just set and the sky had gradually darkened. There were no longer any pedestrians on the official road. Soon, a group of people and horses came from afar. Three horses were leading the group, and behind them were three ordinary looking oily carriages. However, from the minute details, the polishing and polishing of the wood, it was clear that every carriage had excellent craftsmanship, and their craftsmanship could be said to be at the pinnacle.
Those who knew how to look at it would know that this was an aura only the rich and powerful families had.
”Second Brother, can you enter Clear Water Prefecture tonight?”
From the first carriage, a small hand that was as white as jade gently opened the bamboo curtain and asked.
”Fifth Sister, don't worry. We are only a few miles away from Clear Water County. We can definitely make it in front of the city gates.”
The handsome teenager sitting on a handsome horse in the middle replied.
This young man was around seventeen or eighteen years old. His face was as white as jade, and his eyes were as bright as stars. His black hair swept across his smooth forehead, adding a sense of elegance to this young man. He was wearing a soft silver plum, bamboo, water and cyan colored gown with golden threads at the cuffs. Just this outfit alone was worth quite a bit.
”Yes.” The person in the car gently put down the embroidered bamboo curtain.
”Are the five girls tired? Let this servant pinch the young lady. ” Yan Luo had long noticed that something was wrong with Li Die.
Although they were both young girls, Li Die was the direct descendant of a proper official family. How could a servant girl like her be as coarse as Li Die? Even the carriage that she had been sitting in for so long was a little too much for her.
”It's fine.” Li Die waved her hand.
Yan Luo could only sit back down. Looking at Li Die's fading face, she sighed and said, ”Fifth Miss, forgive this servant for talking too much. You haven't had much to eat and drink these days. You can't go on like this.”
Li Die closed her beautiful eyes. She did not comment.
Yan Luo continued, ”It's not like my uncle's wife is sick. It's only a matter of time before she gets overjoyed. Even if the fifth lady disregards me like this, my uncle's wife will still be alive, so she won't feel at ease.”
Li Die raised her eyebrows slightly.
”Don't worry, Yoluo. I understand.” It's just that Aunt just passed away, so the pain in my heart is still there. After patting Yan Luo's hand a few times, Li Die forced a wry smile and comforted it.
”Yes.”
Yan Luo nodded, and suddenly thought of something, ”Oh right, I don't know what happened to the fourth lady. Ever since we returned from the General's Mansion, the fourth lady seemed to have changed. She no longer rode in the same carriage as us. She insisted that the General's Estate send out a carriage for her to sit in alone. This servant has privately asked Jadeite, she doesn't know anything, and only knows that the Fourth Miss hasn't been thinking about food and tea for the past few days. ”
”Oh?” Originally, Li Die only thought that Fourth Sister Li Rou had a temper and didn't know how she had offended her. Who would have thought that there would be such a thing?
Yan Luo nodded its head, indicating that it was true.
Li Die murmured, ”Sister Four can't even think about food. If it's just because Aunt died, then it's impossible.”
Li Die, the daughter of Li Xiangnan, a Scholar of Han Lin Dynasty, ranked fifth. She was from the same family as Li Rou Ping, and the two of them were even rarely seen twins.
For some unknown reason, when Li Die was three years old, her mother sent someone to her uncle's house, which was the residence of General Zhong Wu.
General Zhong Wu had lost his son at an early age and had no children. He treated Li Die like his own daughter, loving her dearly. Especially her aunt. She was even more afraid of falling down while holding her in her hands, afraid of melting in her mouth. It really hurt so much.
