Side Story, Hu Yulin Jie (4)

” Alright, you guys can go to school now. Pay attention and come back to ask if you don’t understand anything.”

Hu Yu said with a smile.

Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue went down.

Hu Yu had nothing much to do, but if she wanted to start a skincare business, she had to buy the raw materials herself. This was something that she had to personally control. The extraction techniques in ancient times were poor, so Hu Yu was prepared to use herbs to make herbal essence lotions for skin care.

It was already noon when they returned to the General’s Estate.

At noon, chicken was served one after another.

Hu Yu carefully tasted it. It was delicious, but he felt that it was a little lacking.

Hu Yu sighed. For some people, once they parted ways, it was probably forever.

Thinking back to the past, she still wanted to get familiar with him and wait for him to get married in the future to observe his wedding night. But who knew that after ascending, they would never see each other again.

The current Hu Yu had long let go of the affair.

She was more concerned about the fact that love was not important. She should have asked Lin Jie for a cooking recipe back then. That way, she would not be unable to eat it when she wanted to. Once she ate the chicken, she would remember the taste of Lin Jie’s cooking. That taste had been on her mind for many years.

The more she thought about it, the more tasteless the fragrance became.

Hu Yu put down his chopsticks.

“Madam, is it not to your liking?” Xuemei looked worried.

Hu Yu nodded.” Don’t eat chicken tonight. Just do it normally. Five meats, two vegetables, and one soup. That’s how it will be in the future.”

Xuemei nodded and immediately went down to give instructions.

In this world, Hu Yu did not find aloes, but cucumbers did. Hence, in the afternoon, when Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue returned, they made an exquisite face wash together. After washing their faces, they applied cucumber slices.

At first, the two sisters were not used to it, but after a few days, they slowly adapted.

When the relationship between the two sisters and Hu Yu grew closer and closer.

A fast horse galloped into the capital, holding up an urgent report in its hand, startling the spies of various forces in the capital.

In less than a morning, the entire capital was discussing whether the war at the border was tense or not.

Hu Yu was eating snacks as he listened to Xuemei talk about the war. Because Hu Yu had changed his mind, Xuemei, this servant girl, had also changed her mind. She no longer wanted to help her master please the Crown Prince’s concubine. Instead, she prayed that the general would return soon.

Hu Yu nodded. She knew that news of Ou Yangming’s death had probably spread to the capital city. He was a rising star and a newly promoted noble, but he had passed away in less than two years.

Apart from everything else, Ou Yangming Mingde was a fierce general. His death would be a great loss to the imperial court.

The Emperor felt both heartache and helplessness.

In the afternoon, someone hurriedly came from the palace. With a serious expression, he requested for Hu Yu to enter the palace.

“Madam,” Xuemei was a little nervous.

Hu Yu’s expression was dignified. She received the edict and calmly said,” The Emperor wants to see me. There must be something. Prepare yourself and follow me into the palace to meet the Emperor.”

Hu Yu changed into plain clothes and brought Xuemei into the palace.

The majestic palace was filled with prosperity.

Along the way into the palace hall, many people looked at Hu Yu with pity or sympathy in their eyes.

Xuemei’s legs were trembling, but she knew that she couldn’t embarrass her master, so she followed behind Hu Yu steadily.

In the middle of the hall, the Emperor was sitting on the dragon throne. He was in his fifties, and he looked quite dejected. The eunuch beside him bent over and reminded the Emperor,” Your Majesty, the Ouyang Chu Clan is here.”

A married woman would have her husband’s surname before her surname.

Hu Yu knelt down and saluted.

“Madam Ouyang, please rise quickly,” the Emperor hurriedly raised his hand.

Hu Yu stood up.

“Eunuch Liu, announce it.” The Emperor sighed.

Eunuch Liu seemed to be choking on his tears as he said sorrowfully,” Madam Ouyang, listen to me. Today, I received an urgent report from the border. General Ming fell into the enemy’s trap and died on the battlefield half a month ago. His body is missing. My heart aches. General Ming has done his best for the Han Dynasty, and he has a few wishes. I will definitely fulfill them to comfort General Ming’s soul in heaven. 1 have three wishes. I hope Madam Ouyang will listen to them.”

Everyone looked at Hu Yu. Hu Yu lowered his head.

Eunuch Liu then spoke in a mournful and delicate voice,”General Ming, you are one of my blood wishes. My wife, Ouyang Chu, will be the mistress of the Ouyang family. She is not allowed to marry another woman in her lifetime.”

Secondly, I have two younger sisters who share the same mother as me. After I die, my wife will take good care of my younger sisters and find a good husband for them.

Thirdly, my glory and wealth will be inherited by my wife. After she dies, she will be buried with me in the same cave, fulfilling my wish to die with me.”

A woman who was less than twenty years old would have to be chaste for a dead person for the rest of her life.

Eunuch Liu looked at Hu Yu and continued to read,” The above is the blood wish of Great General Ming. Great General Ming sacrificed his life for the country. I am very heartbroken. Women are the foundation, and there are rules for women to teach women. I order the Ouyang Chu Clan to abide by them. With the heroic spirit of Great General Ming, will the Ouyang Chu Clan obey?”

The official announcement of the decree had already been announced. Everyone was waiting for Hu Yu’s reply.

Xuemei was stunned. She covered her mouth tightly to stop herself from crying out loud.

Hu Yu’s eyes were filled with tears. She gritted her teeth and looked up at the Emperor. Tears rolled down like pearls as she knelt down. Her voice was filled with extreme pain as she said with a trembling voice,” 1 am willing to keep my chastity for my husband and fulfill my husband’s last wishes. 1 hope that he can rest in peace in the netherworld.”

The Emperor was very satisfied and sighed in relief,” Lord Chu has raised a good daughter, a good woman with affection and righteousness. Even in the afterlife, General Ming will feel gratified. From today onwards, Lady Ouyang will be conferred the title of Second Rank Imperial Consort and can live in the General’s Estate forever. General Ming’s two younger sisters will also be bestowed. Lady Chu has taught her daughter well, so she will also be conferred the title of Second Rank Imperial Consort.”

It was an honor for men to be an official, and it was also an honor for women to fight for an imperial title.

Although he was not a Rank One, his status had advanced a few levels, and the special title was even more different.

If Hu Yu had behaved himself for the past few decades, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he would naturally pull out such a loyal person to reward him. At that time, he would definitely be a Rank One. Even if he died, he would bring glory to his descendants.

Father Chu looked at Hu Yu a few more times and finally felt relieved. His daughter was concerned about the Crown Prince. He was really afraid that she would say something fatal in the main hall. Fortunately, she was sensible.

After all, she was married and sensible. Being a concubine would not be as glorious as being a general’s wife. Unfortunately, she was unlucky, and who knew that Ou Yangming Mingde would have a short life? Although her daughter had to keep her chastity for a dead man for decades, she would not keep her chastity for nothing with the reward. She would ask the madam to talk to her daughter when she returned..
