The village was smaller and more desolate, located at the foot of the Yan Mountains. In his previous life, Ding Rou had been a university student in Beijing, the capital city, and was familiar with the surroundings. Now that he had traveled through time and space to this place, history had become different from what Ding Rou remembered, but the Yan Mountains had not changed location due to the arrival of the traveler, only its name was different from modern times.
For example, the mountain in front of us, Ting Ruo heard from Liu Shi that it was called Luofeng Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there is a stone tablet with a poem written by the founding empress of the Great Qin Dynasty. The founding empress liked to come here to enjoy the scenery, and Luofeng Mountain got its name from this. Ting Ruo took a look at the stone tablet and felt that her forehead was a bit dark. This pirated poem was really done openly and aboveboard. In front of the stone tablet, several girls were surrounding it, Ting Ruo was very puzzled. They first closed their eyes, then threw copper coins towards the stone tablet. Did the stone tablet also have the effect of a wishing pool?
Ding Rou accompanied Lius family to the front, along the way, Ding Rou had some understanding of the folk customs of Da Qin. She saw many ladies riding horse-drawn carriages and also saw some women and girls walking on foot. Perhaps it was because of the Chongyang Festival, so there were fewer people than usual. The era in which Da Qin lived should be during the Ming Dynasty in history. Compared to the Ming Dynasty, Da Qin had more relaxed requirements for women, which Ding Rou especially liked.
"Get out of the way."
Ding Rou supported Liu Shi as they turned to look back, two luxurious horse-drawn carriages were rushing along the road, kicking up clouds of dust. The pedestrians on the road hastily made way, and the coachmen wore dark blue shirts with an air of arrogance, whipping the horses into a gallop. Liu Shi glanced at the emblem on the carriage, "Its the An Yang Bo Fu."
Ding Rou pursed her lips, this kind of arrogance was only befitting of a count, looking like a nouveau riche without any family background. The Liu lady stepped aside to block Ding Rou, "Little Rou, lets go pick osmanthus. High-quality updates"
Ding Ruo saw the look of Lius family and understood a bit. After all, she had her original memories. The Marquis of Anyang was originally just a small official in the Ministry of Rites, but he was lucky to have raised a good younger sister who was selected into the palace and won the emperors favor, becoming a concubine and later giving birth to an imperial son. The emperor, who was over 60 years old, was overjoyed at the birth of his young son, which proved that he was still vigorous. Not only did he promote the mother of the imperial son to Xianfei, but also enfeoffed Xianfeis elder brother as the Marquis of Anyang. One person achieved success and the whole family prospered. The Anyang Marquis residence considered themselves to be relatives of the emperor and was a prominent noble family in recent times.
In the past, Ding Ruo had conflicts with Anyang Bos daughter. At that time, Anyang Bo was just a small official and his family status was far inferior to the noble Ding family. What Ding Ruo hated most was being called a concubines daughter. She easily clashed with Li Manju, who is now the legitimate daughter of Anyang Bo. In the past, Ding Ruo was considered the favored concubines daughter in the Ding household, while Li Manju was just the daughter of a small official. The Li family didnt dare offend the Ding household. But now, Ding Ruo has become an abandoned concubines daughter, while she is the legitimate daughter of the Earls household. With their positions reversed, Li Manju will definitely humiliate and take revenge on Ding Ruo when they meet again.
Lius family watched the approaching carriage with increasing tension. Why did the Anyang Bo Fu have to come to Luofeng Mountain? What if Miss Li saw Ding Rou? If they had arrived a little later or left earlier, they wouldnt have run into each other. Lius family was humble and used to it, but Ding Rou had a bad temper. Lius family feared that Ding Rou couldnt withstand it. Lius family tried their best to shield Ding Rou, wanting to protect her daughter from being seen by Miss Li.
Ding Ruos mouth twitched slightly as she fed, and Liu Shis thoughts were guessed by her. She didnt want to cause trouble or make things difficult for Liu Shi, so she acted like an outsider, lowering her head, thinking that this way she could avoid it.
The carriage of the Anyang Bo Mansion stopped, and two young maidservants in green clothes jumped down. "Miss has arrived." Miss Li Manju was supported out of the carriage. Li Manju had a long face shape, slightly raised eyebrows, a hooked nose, thin lips, making her look somewhat stern. She was slender, not tall, but wore thick and heavy clothing, wrapped in expensive jewelry and ornaments, lacking coordination, giving off a nouveau riche feeling, as if she wanted to wear all the good things on her body at once.
Instead, it was the other girl who got off the car with Li Manzhu that left a deep impression on Ding Ruo. She had her head down and eyes cast downward, following closely behind Li Manzhu, wearing a pink pleated skirt and a long dress with a hundred flowers, her figure light and graceful, dressed up but not as dazzling as Li Manzhu. Her facial features were delicate, with a hint of a smile, looking like a beautiful young woman, more eye-catching than Li Manzhu. However, she was always following closely behind Li Manzhu, being very respectful, not daring to steal the spotlight from Li Manzhu. Ding Ruo curved her mouth slightly, thinking that she wasnt stealing the spotlight, but which of the two sisters was actually accompanying whom?
Ding Rou couldnt help but think that the wife of Anyang Bo also had poor vision, and yet she was looking for her to accompany Li Manru, and even dressing up Li Manru like this? The Anyang Bo Mansion lacked depth, relying solely on the virtuous concubine from the palace, recklessly flaunting their wealth, they would eventually decline one day.
Ding Ruo remembered that the current emperor was over 60 years old, and his health had never been too good. In his younger years, he had been diligent in sowing seeds, and there were already twenty-two princes with bright teeth. The eldest prince was now over 40 years old, so what could be said about the young prince of Xian Fei? The Daqin dynastys crown prince was established based on virtue, not age, but the current empress had given birth to four princesses and no sons, so the emperor still hadnt established a crown prince until now. Establishing a crown prince had endless possibilities, and many princes were openly or secretly competing for the position of heir apparent.
Li Manzhu didnt notice Ding Rou, who was proudly holding her chin up, and it would be strange if she could see the unusual Ding Rou. Ding Rou quietly pulled Liu Shi along the small path up the mountain, and if they delayed any further, Ding Rou feared that Liu Shi would become so tense that she would faint. Only then would Li Manzhu discover Ding Rou. In fact, since Ding Rous transmigration, her temperament had undergone a very obvious change. Her original self-deprecation and arrogance were replaced by confidence and gentleness, and her anger and discontent had disappeared. Ding Rou was smiling brightly, with a few hints of maturity and wisdom in her clear eyes, making people feel warm and willing to get close to her. These changes were not noticed by Liu Shi, who was by her side. Even if Li Manzhu saw Ding Rou, she wouldnt recognize her as the sixth young lady of the Ding family unless she looked closely and spoke up.
Liu let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "Its okay, its okay, she didnt see Xiao Rou."
"Mother, am I that unsightly?" Ding Ruo played with the osmanthus in her hand. Seeing Ding Ruos smiling face, Liu Shi knew her daughter was joking and shook her head: "Xiao Ruo looks better than Miss Li, only..."
"Here comes the daughter again, Im not paying attention to it anymore. Whats the use of being born legitimate or illegitimate? Parents can only give us an identity, but how many legitimate sons have ruined the family business? How many legitimate daughters have behaved improperly and disgraced their ancestors? Identity cannot be changed, but one must not lack a diligent heart, self-pity, and no achievements. Being born illegitimate also has its own glory."
Ding Rou pulled Liu Shi up the mountain, a clear and crisp voice echoed far and wide, "Heroes do not ask about origins, wealth and nobility should consider the reasons."
