She transmigrated into a novel as the Dragon King protagonist's early-deceased fiancee. This story features transmigration, a black-bellied male lead, a cannon fodder female supporting characte...
Mr. and Mrs. He consulted many famous doctors and tried many kinds of medicine, but nothing worked. Seeing that their daughter was about to die, Mr. He posted a notice, offering a huge reward of one thousand gold coins to anyone who could cure Miss He.
The notice was removed by a poor scholar. This scholar was handsome and elegant, and in addition to studying the classics, he was also proficient in medicine. However, his family was poor, and he was about to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, but he had no money. So he thought of curing the young lady's illness and getting some money to use for the trip.
In fact, the young lady was suffering from lovesickness, and the scholar was the white-robed scholar she met when she was burning incense and praying to Buddha. After seeing him, she was almost cured without treatment.
The scholar had no idea what was on the young lady's mind. He just felt her pulse, looked at her complexion and tongue coating, and said, "This young lady is suffering from a mental illness caused by her frustrations and worries, and her emotional depression."
It is also said that there is a tree on the mountain, known as the "Love Tree", with pinnate leaves that are opposite to each other, and they open during the day and close at night. Its flowers are like silk and have a refreshing fragrance that can clear the heart and relieve depression, calm the mind and calm the spirit. Boiling it in water and drinking it can cure a young lady's illness.
Later, the young lady took the flower and her illness really healed. As a result, the scholar also fell in love with the young lady. Soon, the scholar went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. When he passed the exam, he returned and married the young lady.
Later, people called this 'loving tree' the Albizia Julibrissin, and the flower the Albizia Julibrissin.
Although young and naive, Yu Tanqi knew that husband and wife were the closest people in the world. He said innocently, "Mother, do you like the Albizia Julibrissin so much because you also like Daddy and me to be married? It's just like the story Mother told you."
Xie Lin laughed, touched her head and said gently, "No, it was after I learned the story of the Albizia Julibrissin that I chose your father to be my husband."
She seemed to understand, "Then Tan Qi will also find a scholar as her husband in the future, just like mother and father."
Xie Lin laughed so hard that she hugged her and said, "The man Tan Qi wants to marry can't just be a scholar, he has to be more capable than a scholar."
"What's more powerful than a scholar?"
"He is the top scholar. The man Tan Qi will marry in the future will definitely be a talented top scholar."
"What is a top scholar? Is he better than Daddy's third scholar?"
"Yes, the number one scholar is even better than your father's third scholar."
Xie Lin, who comes from a century-old family, likes people who are good at studying.
Yu Shangheng was born into a scholarly family and won the third place in the imperial examination, which is why Xie Lin took a fancy to him.
Now, Yu Tanqi looked at the Albizia Julibrissin tree full of flowers and said in his heart.
"Mother, as you wished, I am now really going to marry the number one scholar. You will definitely be very happy to hear this news. This number one scholar is the one you chose for me."
The wind blew through the albizzia trees, whose blossoms were like clouds, and the petals and leaves swayed, and the rustling sound seemed to be responding to her gently.
Yu Tanqi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and reveal a bright smile.
Before her wedding to Jiang Shi, many people from the Xie family of Chenjun came. Except for the old lady Xie who was in poor health and her cousins who were already married, almost all other relatives came.
A three-story house with more than a dozen rooms cannot accommodate so many people.
Fortunately, the Xie family also has a mansion in the capital. Most people live in the Xie family's mansion, and only those who are closest to Yu Tanqi live in the Yu family's mansion.
Yu Tanqi knew that several of her cousins were married, but seeing that her handsome eldest cousin Xie Jing had not yet married, she asked Madam Xie with some confusion.
"Aunt, why hasn't cousin Jing married yet?" She remembered that Xie Jing was three years older than her and was twenty-two years old this year.
Her other cousins have all gotten married and have children.
Madam Xie was also worried about this matter and sighed, "I've been urging your cousin Jing to get married, but he always says that getting married is a lifelong task. He hasn't met the right person yet and doesn't want to rush into marriage. Otherwise, even if they get married, they'll become a couple with resentment, causing unrest in the family. Fortunately, his younger brothers have already married and have children, so we'll just let him go."
The Xie family's rules allowed their children to marry freely to a certain extent, so if Xie Jing refused to marry, the elders would have no way to deal with him.
However, in the eyes of everyone, Xie Jing, who was still unmarried at the age of 22, was too different. Xie's family was afraid that he would be criticized, so they tried their best to introduce him to young and beautiful girls.
But Xie Jing only smiled at his sisters at home. He treated all other girls equally with a cold face and was serious, which really worried Madam Xie.
Madam Xie looked at Yu Tanqi with hope in her eyes: "Tanqi, do you know any good girls in the capital? If you introduce her to Jing'er, he will definitely not refuse. After all, when you were still at home, he loved you the most as his sister."
Yu Tanqi felt a little embarrassed. She had been in the capital for three years and had barely left the house. She didn't know many people. How could she introduce a decent, beautiful, unmarried girl to Xie Jing?
But of course she couldn't say it directly.
So she thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, aunt. I will find a way to help cousin Jing find a good sister-in-law who can accompany him for the rest of his life."
Madam Xie breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "With your help, I feel much more relaxed."
Yu Tanqi soon met Xie Jing alone.
After three years, the high-spirited new champion has become much more mature, with a cool and handsome appearance, like a lonely moon in the clouds, clear and bright.
"Cousin Jing."
Xie Jing was slightly distracted when he heard this sweet name.
He hadn't heard her voice in a long time.
He looked at the girl in green with curved eyebrows in front of him, as if he had returned to his youth. Every time she saw him, she would smile and call him like this, and her sweet voice was like the ringing of wind chimes under the eaves.
"Sister Tan Qi, long time no see. How have you been recently?" He whispered, restraining his gaze, but still couldn't help but let it fall on her.
Yu Tanqi was completely unaware of this. In her memory, this cousin was indeed very good to her. Although they felt a little unfamiliar after not seeing each other for three years, they were still relatives after all, and she was always more familiar with him than with others.
Moreover, she had no biological brother, so when she got married, she needed Xie Jing to help carry her out and into the bridal sedan.
Thinking of this, Yu Tanqi blushed slightly and said softly, "I'm fine. I heard from my aunt that you haven't met the person you like yet. Cousin Jing, can you tell me what kind of girl you like? I can help you find one."
She asked him what kind of girl he liked.
Xie Jing bit his lips slightly, and the pain suppressed his inner resentment and impulse.
The young man smiled bitterly silently.
After a long while, he whispered, "I don't know what kind of girl I like. Maybe when fate arrives, she will appear. You don't have to help me."
The girl he liked was about to get married.
