Chapter 2 — Van Ky Tri Dynasty

We went to the peach forest ten miles away in the suburbs. There are several peach trees there, all planted for me by Manh Tri Ngon himself. He also tied a swing under the tree. Every spring when we go on a trip, we come to this place. I think he will definitely find me. However, the people waiting for him were not Manh Tri Ngon but a few street scoundrels. Seeing that I was alone, they became angry, teased me, and tore my clothes. I was so scared that I burst into tears. Luckily, Tiet Chieu appeared. He saved me and even gave those thugs a good beating. But no one expected that one of them had a dagger hidden in his sleeve. The knife's tongue is pointed straight at me. I couldn't avoid it in time. Tiet Chieu used his body to protect me. His left shoulder was stabbed and blood flowed continuously. In the medical shop, I apologized over and over again. If it weren't for saving me, he wouldn't have been injured so seriously. Tiet Chieu smiled again. "Saving her, I am willing to volunteer." He seemed to have feelings for me. Last year's Lantern Festival, when I was solving a lantern puzzle on the street, I ran into him. Tiet Chieu wants to give me a flower lamp. But we don't accept it. Manh Tri Ngon's flower lights are more beautiful. People should not be too greedy. Holding a lamp in your hand is enough. Later, I followed my father to his colleague's mansion to attend a party and met him again. Tiet Chieu is the only son of the Tiet family, his family style is upright. His parents loved him very much. He even asked me what I wanted, saying that Tiet Chieu had feelings for me, asking me if I was willing to marry him or not. At that time, without thinking, I shook my head and refused. I feel Manh Tri Ngon is the best. Ca ca is the best. If you want to get married, you have to marry your brother. I have always thought that I and Manh Tri Ngon have the same mind. But maybe I just volunteered unilaterally. What happened that day finally alarmed my father, who came to the hospital to find me. He also thanked Tiet Chieu many times. On the way home with my father, I couldn't help but ask about Manh Tri Ngon. My father only replied: "Today he left the palace, gathered the money he had saved over the years to buy a small house in the east of the city, saying that he did not want to bother our family anymore." So, he did not worry about me at all. I'm a little sad. Even if they can't become loving husband and wife, they can at least be childhood sweethearts. How can it be so cold? I didn't believe it, so I asked my father for the address and then ran alone to find Manh Tri Ngon. The small hospital is located in a remote place, extremely quiet. The big door is not closed, so I don't knock either. I ran straight in. Manh Tri Ngon is standing in front of the window practicing his writing. His eyes were calm, staring intently at the table, not showing any concern at all. I know I'm in trouble but I can still be so calm. So, he really doesn't like me. I completely gave up hope. … I am not certain that I can only be Manh Tri Ngon. In love, forcing
only bring bitter consequences. I don't want that. So after returning home, I cried loudly. I decided to let him go. From then on, Manh Tri Ngon was only my older brother. After he left Song Palace, he rarely returned. Manh Tri Ngon is smarter than others. That year, participating in the examination, he became the youngest Poinsettia in the dynasty. Appointed to the Han Academy, public affairs are extremely busy. It's also getting brighter and brighter. And I'm still greedy for food and play, without any future. Thinking back, he couldn't possibly like me. When he was at the age of getting married, Tiet Chieu often paid tribute to his concubine. Every time he comes, he brings me gifts. Sometimes the flower lamp is shaped like a rabbit. Sometimes there are fresh flower wreaths or sweet-scented flower waffles. Very, very much. The things Manh Tri Ngon could do for me before, he could also do. Therefore, when he came to ask for my hand, I did not refuse. Anyway, we have to bid. Marrying Tiet Chieu is also good. He treats me thoughtfully and will be a good husband. Parents are also very satisfied. Not long after, the two families began discussing marriage. Deposit money, ask for names, exchange business cards. On the day of the engagement. The Tiet family gave an extremely generous bride price, filling the whole yard of my yard. That day, Manh Tri Ngon also hurriedly arrived. At that time, the new emperor had just been crowned for one hundred days. Manh Tri Ngon had the merit of assisting him and was a close servant of the emperor. His position is higher than my father's. Also a lot busier. Therefore, when I saw that he could come to the ceremony, I was also extremely surprised. Anyway, there is a distance between us. He looked at the red silk ribbons and red lanterns hanging around the yard and nodded slightly. "Congratulations, sister, on finding a loving relationship." I also respectfully responded. He asked again: "Do you like Tiet Chieu?" I thought for a moment and then answered yes. I'm not lying. It's just that the favorite part is still very shallow. But life is still long. One day, I will completely love Tiet Chieu and become husband and wife with deep love. People always have to step forward. Manh Tri Ngon did not say another word. Three days later, he sent someone to bring many chests of gold, silver and jewels, saying they were adding to my dowry. The day we release the price. As his cousin, he personally carried me onto the palanquin. At that time, he promised me: "Trieu Van, you are my cousin, no one is allowed to bully you." "If you encounter difficulties, you must tell me." "I will do my best to help you achieve what you want." At that time, I did not pay too much attention to that promise. However, they are no longer as close as before. Don't bother him. For both it's good. Besides, after getting married, we lived very happily. Her father-in-law resigned and returned to his hometown in Lam Chau, his mother-in-law also followed. Tiet Chieu loves me very much. As soon as I got married, I became the mother of the family. No need to learn rules. Every day just eat well and have fun. Call
Live extremely relaxing.
