The Lu family she went to was one of the top families, but her third cousin Lu Yun saw through her hypocrisy and scheming from the beginning and despised her. The full text is divided into three volumes. The main plot is the love between Luo Lingyu and Lu Yun, and the hidden plot is Lu Erlang's dream that can predict the future. The two plots run parallel and complement each other.

The text is beautiful, novel and elegant.

Chapter 1

The water is green, and the sound of oars can be heard across the surface of the water where the broken ice has just broken. In the vast white mist, a boat can be seen breaking through the mist. Passing through mountains and ridges, along ponds and beside water, the boat passes through Xuanwu Lake and connects with the tidal channel opened by Jianye North. At dawn, it enters the waterway around Jianye City - spring has just arrived, the ice and snow have melted, the weather is gradually warming up, and the two daughters of the Luo family are about to enter the city.

It was the fourteenth year of Yuanshuo.

This boat is wide and short, and is easy to maneuver and convenient for boating. There is only one cabin in the boat, and an old man and an old woman row the boat. Compared with the current extravagant style, this boat is much simpler. Sailing on the water, we have entered the Jianye waterway. No bandits dare to disturb us, and the old woman rowing the boat breathes a sigh of relief. As she paddles, she can't help but stand on tiptoe and look through the window of the cabin, looking at the fairy-like girl in the cabin——

The girl was dressed in moon-white and aquamarine. She was wearing a gauze dress, a white belt around her waist, and flowers at the end of her skirt. Her hair was in a bun, like a cloud. On her forehead, a five-petal flower was dotted with gold powder and gold foil, shining brightly. On her fair wrist, she wore an emerald green bracelet, as pure as bamboo. The beauty was kneeling on a couch, with books and wooden boxes placed on the table in front of her. Her cheeks were rosy, her eyes were clear and watery... She looked out the window, with a look of sorrow in her eyes, like a flame orchid blooming under the moon. She was charming, but elegant.

The old woman was amazed: what a beautiful woman she is, she is always charming.

The Luo family of Ruyang was gone, but with the appearance and grace of the eldest lady of the Luo family, if she entered Jianye City, I'm afraid that many men would scramble for her love. In this way, even if the daughter of the Luo family brought a child with her, even if she lived under someone else's roof, she would definitely live a good life. Compared with these poor people who had to go through wind and rain, the daughter of the Luo family, whose parents had both passed away, was so lucky.

While the old woman was admiring this peerless beauty in her heart, Luo Lingyu, the daughter of the Luo family, was slowly sorting out the items on the table with her maid Lingxi. Lying in the corner of the couch was a nine-year-old girl, Luo Yunhuan, with a small bun in her hair, holding a book and reciting it carelessly. The nine-year-old girl's eyes rolled around, looking through the seam of the book to see what her sister was busy with -

Her red-haired hands were briskly counting on the abacus as Luo Lingyu read out, "The old marquis is in Jiaozhou. I heard that Jiaozhou is a dangerous place, so I prayed for his safety and asked someone to deliver it to him when I arrived in Jianye. This pair of embroidery silk shoes was made by me. They are as light as mist and have a solid texture. I give them to the old lady. These ten boxes of rose cakes are for the aunts. My eldest aunt liked them best when she was in Ruyang. This calligraphy book is the masterpiece of a Ming master. I give it to Brother Yan. I have never met my two cousins, so I don't know what they like. It's always right to give them Hu brushes and Hui ink. There are also sachets, books, old paintings, and sheepskins..."

The maid Lingxi was busy arranging the items on the table according to the instructions of the mistress. She moved quickly, while Luo Lingyu spoke slowly. The master and servant had been together for many years. The maid Lingxi looked at her elegant mistress, and then listened to her oriole-like voice... Lingxi rolled her eyes slightly: "Madam, we haven't entered Jianye City or the gate of the Lu family yet. There are only us, the master and the servant, on the boat, and no outsiders, so you don't have to act like this."

"Take a break at least."

Luo Lingyu's eyes lit up and she glared at the maid: "Why are you pretending? I am just like this."

While the master and servant were talking, Luo Yunhuan, who was lying on the couch reading, knocked on the couch with the book and howled, "Sister, I'm so hungry——"

Luo Lingyu: "Just be hungry. Read a book and you'll be fine after you get over it."

Luo Yunhuan puffed up her cheeks and blew her bangs in dissatisfaction. She was still a child, with delicate features and delicate face, but she was not as beautiful as her elder sister. Her elder sister gave all the good things to her relatives, and she was so hungry thinking about them, but she had nothing to eat... The young lady held her cheeks and thought about the days after Jianye: "I want to go to the Lu family soon! Then there will be water shield soup, suckling pig, pickled fish..."

Luo Lingyu leaned against the window railing, looking like a lady in a painting. She still whispered softly, "Huan'er, you can't do that. The Lu family is a great family in Jiangnan, and they are very prestigious. We are also from aristocratic families after all. Although we are a little down and out, we can't bring shame to the Luo family and make people laugh. When you get to the Lu family, the old lady will ask you to be reserved when eating, and you should act like you haven't eaten in eight lifetimes. When the cousins ​​ask you if you are hungry or tired, you have to say no. If you eat and drink without restraint and are greedy, I will beat you when I get back."

Luo Yunhua: "But I'm so hungry——!"

Luo Lingyu had already ignored Luo Yunhuan and lowered her head to work on her abacus again. Amid the crisp sound of beads tapping, the maid Lingxi looked sympathetically at the young lady, whose face had become thinner due to hunger since she boarded the boat. Luo Lingyu not only behaved elegantly and reservedly herself, but she also kept an eye on the young lady. The poor young lady had only had vegetable soup for two days and had not seen a grain of rice. But Luo Lingyu was not treating her sister harshly. In fact, ahem, they were too poor.

While Lingxi was distracted, Luo Lingyu had already thought about the expenses of money. Luo Lingyu said: "... In two days, we will arrive in Jianye. After sending these gifts, we will still have more than 200 taels of silver ingots left. After getting off the boat, we will pay for the ship fare, and give 100 taels to the old lady at the Lu family as the money for our accommodation. The remaining 100 taels will be used as rewards for maids, old women and other servants, and for participating in various banquets and outings... If we spend frugally, we can probably last for half a year. In half a year, if I can marry a husband, our dilemma will be solved."
