Shen Wen coughed violently, and coughed out something stuck in his throat, and a voice that was so familiar but unfamiliar to him sounded next to him: "Oh, I was scared to death, you worry, you want to Kill me!" This is her mother! She used to feel rough and vulgar mother. Shen Wen burst into tears, burst into tears, and slapped his back fiercely, Shen Wen felt that his internal organs were about to be photographed, and he couldn't breathe even more from crying.
"Come on, grandma, take a look, hey, don't take any more pictures, the child is so young, the picture will be ruined..." This is the grandmother Gu. With tears in his eyes, Shen Wen felt that he was picked up and entered into an embrace. In a vague way, his grandmother's temple hair was not completely white yet, and Shen Wen burst into tears again.
She remembered that her mother said before that when she was more than two years old, she swallowed a peanut and nearly died. Her mother turned her body upside down and took out the peanut. And the mother said that she was a blessing in disguise that time, and she started talking since then. She was always stupid before. Shen Wen thought that her former soul also entered this body at this time, and now that she came back, she drew a circle. But this time, her life will take a different path.
Amidst the crying, she heard her mother ask, "Sanlang, why are you feeding your little sister peanuts? Look, you almost choked her to death!" A child's voice replied, "Mother, I didn't give it to you, it was her I took it from the table..." A girl's voice said, "Yes, she reached it on tiptoe!"
It's Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang! His wife, Yang Shi, was only fifteen years old when she married the Marquis of Zhenbei, but at the age of sixteen she gave birth to her eldest son, who was named Shen Yi, who had decisive perseverance, which is the primary quality of a general. A year and a half later, she gave birth to her second son, Shen Jian, which means unwavering. Two years later, when she was less than twenty years old, she gave birth to her third son, named Shen Zhuo. After three sons, Yang wanted a daughter wholeheartedly, but when she was twenty-three years old, she finally gave birth to a daughter. Lord Hou said it was a daughter, so he took the word "Shui" and named her Shen Xiang because he hoped that she was kind and gentle. Two years later, at the age of twenty-five, Shen Wen was born.
At this time, Shen Wen was two years old, elder sister Shen Xiang was four years old, third brother Shen Zhuo was only seven years old, second brother Shen Jian was ten years old, and the eldest brother who would be strict and steady in the future was only an eleven or twelve-year-old child. Shen Wen thought that when he died, Shen Xiang was less than twenty years old, Shen Zhuo was twenty-two years old before getting married, and the second brother was only twenty-four or five, and the elder brother who had two sons had just passed twenty-six birthday. In her previous life, she felt that they were all very old, but in this thousand years of wandering, she felt that they were still so young when they died countless times! At this time they were still so young, Shen Wen was filled with grief and joy, crying so hard that his voice became hoarse.
In Shen Wen's mournful cry, Yang became angry: "How old is she? How old are you? All these years of food have been wasted? She went to eat peanuts, can't you stop her?!"
The boy's voice: "But the mother didn't say that the younger sister can't eat peanuts. Yesterday, the mother said that the younger sister is too thin, so she should be fed more."
The girl echoed: "Yes, yes..."
Yang yelled, "How dare you talk back?! Get a ruler!"
The girl cried loudly, Shen Wen turned around vigorously, cried and shook her head in Yang's direction, the old lady Gu smiled and said: "Little sister begged for mercy, what a good girl, she knows how to face you even if she can't say a word." Brother and sister."
Mrs. Yang took Shen Wen from the old lady, patted it and said, "Silly girl! You just know how to eat!"
Yang Shi is twenty-seven at the moment. Although she has given birth to five children, her waist is a bit thick, but her eyebrows and eyes are generous, and there are only a few light lines at the corners of her eyes. Her husband, Shen Yong, Marquis of Zhenbei, is thirty-three this year. Five years ago, the old Marquis of Zhenbei died in ambush during a border inspection. Mother Gu is revered as an old lady, but she is only fifty years old now. Shen Wen fell on her mother's shoulder and continued to cry. She didn't know why she had so many tears, her soul couldn't shed tears, and she thought she had saved a lot in the past thousand years.
While stroking Shen Wen's back, Yang admonished the two children in front of him: "Be careful in the future, don't feed the little girl small things, not only peanuts, but also dates and so on."
Boy's voice: "We don't give it to her, but she always finds something to eat by herself. She even picked up stones to eat the day before yesterday."
The girl's voice: "Yes, yes, she put it in her mouth and spit it out."
Yang said: "You are so angry with me! Who is watching by my little sister?! Change!" There was a sound of persuasion... Shen Wen was so tired from crying that he fell asleep sobbing.
After waking up, Shen Wen found that she was in the arms of her wet nurse. Her wet nurse, He Shi, was only in her twenties at this time, and she would come to Zheng's house together as a companion in the future. When Lord Hou had an accident, she comforted Shen Wen repeatedly, but she Just a woman, just as helpless as Shen Wen. Ever since Shen Wen was placed under house arrest, he has never seen He Shi again. After Shen Wen's death, he knew from the comments of his servants that after he was placed under house arrest, all the maids and companions who married with him were beaten to death, and even their children did not survive. Shen Wen burst into tears again.
Mrs. He muttered in a low voice, saying that dinner has been set, and now Lord Hou is in the capital, and Master Hou will return home tonight, and everyone will have dinner together, so the little lady can't sleep. When we arrived at the hall, we saw that everyone was already seated. The old lady was smiling and looking at the young and heroic father sitting next to Mrs. Yang, the childish faces of the eldest brother and the second brother, and the mischievous expression of the third brother. Looking at the brothers with admiring smiles. Shen Wen's tears flowed down.
Yang motioned for the wet nurse to hand over Shen Wen, and said, "Why are you still crying?" Holding him in his arms and patting him, Zhenbei Marquis Shen Yong always had some preference for his little daughter, so he took Shen Wen from Yang's hand and placed it in the While bouncing his legs, he asked, "What's the matter?" Shen Wen turned his head and blinked vigorously, trying to see his father's appearance clearly. Although he knew he shouldn't cry, he still couldn't help crying.
Yang glanced at Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang, and Shen Xiang looked at the ground with a look of fear.
Shen Zhuo whispered, "Little crying bag!"
Zhenbeihou looked at Shen Zhuo sternly: "What did you do?"
Shen Wen desperately stammered: "Father... Father..."
Shen Yong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Did the good girl call you daddy?" He hugged Shen Wen and kissed him on the face.
Yang Shi was also stunned: "It's been so long and finally I've been barking! I'm more than two years old, Dalang was barking at ten months ago." She hugged Shen Wen from Zhenbei Hou, and wiped Shen Wen's nose and eyes with a silk cloth , complained and said: "I'm calling you dad, what about mom? Who took pictures of you today?"
Shen Wen continued to work hard, pronouncing with a disobedient tongue: "Wolf..." Yang laughed, and said loudly: "Good girl!"
Shen Wen cried again, this time Shen Xiang imitated Shen Zhuo and whispered: "Little crying bag!"
Yang smiled and reprimanded: "Don't say that about your sister, she is still young..."
Shen Wen sobbed, staring at the people at the table with his swollen eyes wide open. This is her relatives, her thousand-year regret, and the guilt she cannot let go of. She is back, and she will change the future. All rivers return to the sea, and different routes lead to the same goal. Humans will one day evolve into future generations, fly into space sooner or later, pollute the earth to destroy themselves, these are not her responsibility. She just wants to do her best in this life to protect these people, so that Zhongliang will not regret it, so that the conspiracy will fail, and she will die forever, so that her conscience can be at ease after death, and she can get rid of the heavy chain that has bound her for thousands of years. I can go to the other side of the light with them.
In the next two years, the nickname "Little Crying Bag" replaced Shen Wen's name on informal occasions.
Shen Xiang started to practice martial arts at the age of five, and Shen Wen was held by the nanny to watch the ceremony of Shen Xiang's apprenticeship.
Shen Wen thought that Shen Xiang was tall and strong in his previous life, but now he thinks that Shen Xiang is a woman after all, how many pounds of muscle can she have? How can we fight against those tigers and wolves in Beirong? A woman under the age of twenty, who has not married and had children, and is trapped in the enemy's line, will she feel lonely when she dies? Thinking of this, Shen Wen began to cry.
Seeing Shen Xiang bowing down to a middle-aged woman, she cried and shook her head, and opened her hands for Shen Xiang to hug. She didn't want Shen Xiang to practice martial arts, but the tears of a three-year-old child are of course useless. Everyone said that she missed her sister when she cried a little. It's not on the same level as this little crying bag.
Shen Yi hunted a deer at the age of thirteen, which was praised by the emperor. The emperor gave venison, and a venison banquet was set up in the mansion. When Shen Wen saw the meat, he cried again, thinking what was the difference between his family and this deer in his previous life, they were all slaughtered by others. Seeing the little lady weeping at the banquet, people guessed it was because they couldn't bear the blood, and they all said that the second young lady was kind-hearted, so the children naturally called "little crying bag" more than ten times.
Shen Zhuo wrote a poem when he was ten years old, and Shen Wen shed tears.
Shen Jian won the first place in riding and archery, and Shen Wen wept.
The peach blossoms in the backyard of the Hou Mansion bloomed, and Shen Wen cried. In autumn, the sweet-scented osmanthus in Hou's mansion was fragrant, and Shen Wen cried again. …
Anyway, Shen Wen cried and cried until she was six years old. Everyone in the house knew that the young lady was as soft as cotton, she shed tears when she saw the wind, and she was sad for the moon. She was a weak woman rarely seen in the general's mansion. All the sons and daughters in the Hou's mansion learn martial arts, only the second lady does not touch weapons, does not practice boxing, and only learns a little light work.
In terms of writing, the mansion also invites Mr. Enlightenment, the young lady is talented and intelligent, and she can recognize characters on par with the third son. But different from the three young masters who usually quoted scriptures and commented on military affairs at every turn, the little lady often sighed and sighed while holding the book.
No one saw that in the dark tent, Shen Wen, who was only a child, sat upright in the night for a long time, her eyes closed, her expression more solemn than that of an adult, she was planning how to avoid future tragedies.
After rebirth, Shen Wen found that she could still use her consciousness, but due to the limitation of her body, her consciousness was much weaker than when she only had her soul in the past. She found that the vibration of her body hindered the extension of her consciousness. Only by controlling the vibration of the body through meditation and exhalation can the consciousness be strengthened.
She went to bed early every night, and practiced meditation after the maids went out. She doesn't need a teacher, she only adjusts her breathing according to the increase or decrease of consciousness. She can also observe her own meridians inwardly, and use her thoughts to guide her breath to travel around the four meridians and eight meridians. She hopes to fight against people one day. She doesn't need to use weapons to punch or kick. She only needs to focus on her consciousness, and she can distort the opponent's meridians like she did when she was a soul in the past. Moreover, her consciousness can't reach far away like before, but it can only reach three steps around her body. Shen Wen believes that as she grows and practices, her consciousness should become stronger.
Shen Wen once thought of assassinating the prince or even the emperor when his consciousness was strong enough, but this was not a safe path. First of all, she didn't know how long it would take for her consciousness to reach such a strong point. Before that, the prince might start. Even if the assassination is successful, Bei Rong's army will still go south, and the Shen family's army will still be wiped out without backup. The other people who participated in that bloody case are still there, they can support another master, and plot against the Shen family in a place that Shen Wen didn't foresee. Shen Wen doesn't want to lose the future she can foresee, so that she can have corresponding countermeasures when things happen. She wanted to wipe out all the main forces who wanted to harm her family, but she could only cut off one by one after the other party revealed their full strength.
Shen Wen's reluctance to strike first has other considerations: she has been in the two worlds for thousands of years, how many times she has seen that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil. No bit of suffering caused by others will be missed. Although she has the heart of revenge, she is unwilling to exchange her eternal destination. She hopes that she can go to the light with her family instead of returning to the darkness. Therefore, she must strike late and let the other party get what they deserve, rather than strike first when the other party has not committed a crime. In this way, she can be different from those criminals who kill innocent people.
Shen Wen could only set a trap. Her first step was to make herself the weak point of the Hou Fu. In the previous life, those people placed the Marquis Mansion in a place of disloyalty in her name because they controlled her. In this life, Shen Wen has to act weaker and stupider than in the previous life, and let the other party come to find her and use her. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, let's start with a little crying bag.
Childhood always flies away, and Shen Wen has just established the impression of "Little Crying Bag" when he is already six years old.
This spring, the 15-year-old eldest brother Shen Yi is discussing marriage, and the Hou Mansion will hold a flower viewing party in April, inviting girls of all ages to come. Regardless of past life or present, this is the biggest social event in the Hou Mansion in her life. In the previous life, it was after this flower party that Shen Wen began to hate the Hou Mansion and alienate his family.
After knowing the date of the flower show, Shen Wen began to prepare the sachet to be given away at the flower show. She prepared two kinds, one was made by the maids, a small sachet embroidered with simple flowers and filled with spices, which was not much different from other people's sachets. One is made by herself, there are six in total. She doesn't pay attention to workmanship, the stitches are messy, the edges are also crooked, and there is no embroidery on the outside, even if the year, month and day of the flower festival are embroidered with a single thread, the font is naturally like a spider crawling. Fortunately, the spices inside are very fragrant, and there is either a huge bead sewn on the outside, or a small jade ring, which are the most precious gadgets Shen Wen can find. When she was practicing calligraphy alone, she wrote six notes and sewed them into the sachet she made by herself when no one was watching. These sachets are what she wants to give to the people she wants to gain trust in the future.
In mid-April, the day before the flower fair, Hou Mansion entered through the gate, and there were pots of flowers placed along the road, few of which were actually cultivated, and most of them were broken from trees and inserted into the soil.
Yang's father is also a general, but his rank is much lower than Zhenbeihou. Yang's father once ran three hundred miles at night to rescue the old Hou Ye when he was besieged by the enemy. Old Hou Ye made this marriage on the battlefield. The old lady was a little bit bitter when she learned about it. She was also a military commander, but her family status was comparable to that of Zhenbeihou. Although her natal family was in decline due to the death of all the men, she still hoped that her only son, Shen Yong, would marry a famous lady or something. Later, I learned that Yang has been dancing knives and sticks since he was a child, but apart from having a loud voice, he didn't learn much martial arts, so he was even more unhappy. Before the appointment, the old lady babbled a few times, and the old Hou Ye was furious: He saved my life, why are you unhappy? With such a loyal father, the daughter must not be wrong.
After getting married, although Yang's appearance is not amazing, but her temperament is bright, and she gets along well with Shen Yong. Moreover, before the old lady had time to put on some mother-in-law airs to control her, she was pregnant and had been a fat kid all her life. Shen Yong's generation in the Hou's mansion is a first-line single pass. The old lady's other children have not been preserved. The old Hou is still not a concubine, and now he suddenly has a grandson. She immediately threw her dissatisfaction with Yang's not noble enough background After that, I looked at my grandson with a smile every day. Just as the little grandson ran around, Yang gave birth to another one! The old lady was so happy that she shut up: two fat babies, this is what she has been thinking about for a long time. But the happy event is not over yet, the youngest one is not even up to the height of the table, Yang gave birth to her third son. The old lady secretly praised Lord Hou's foresight, Yang's Wang family is a prosperous family, and the Hou's mansion has really prospered from this generation.
When Lord Hou died, the old lady was devastated, but with three little grandchildren crying beside her, and Yang was pregnant with another one, the old lady had hope in her heart, and the following days would not be so difficult.
Yang gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and she was full of confidence. Her husband had no intention of marrying a concubine, and all the people in the Hou's mansion were in charge of their own affairs. Over the years, they inevitably developed an uncompromising style. The old lady felt a little displeased when she saw that Mrs. Yang was arrogant every day. Now that her husband is gone and her son is not around, she always feels that her life is meaningless, so she hopes that Mrs. Yang will have a few more. However, in recent years, Shen Yong, Marquis of Zhenbei, has been away all the year round, so the Yang family naturally has nothing to do. Although she knew it was not Yang's fault, the old lady complained unreasonably against Yang.
The Hou Mansion has not held any flower fairs for many years. From the old lady's point of view, Yang's management is far from what she did when she was young. She doesn't care about housekeeping, but she can still pick a fault now and then.
The old lady took Shen Wen by the hand, and followed Mrs. Yang to walk around the courtyard of the mansion, making a final inspection. The maidservants around followed a large group, and Yang stopped occasionally, put one hand on his waist, and gestured for someone to adjust the position of the flowerpot with the other, and shouted twice when he was anxious. The old lady was not idle either. Sometimes she sang against Mrs. Yang with one sentence or another, making the servants at a loss as to what to do.
Yang frowned: "Don't put this potted flower, it's all wilted."
The old lady pointed: "I told you to use potted flowers. If you put them in like this, you won't be able to keep them for an hour."
Yang was impatient: "Mother, what's the use of talking about it now? Hurry up and change it."
The old lady continued to mutter: "You can't speak so loudly tomorrow, those ladies are very precious now, if they think you are an evil mother-in-law, no one will want their daughter to marry."
Mrs. Yang waved her hand: "Everyone knows who I am, it's meaningless to pretend. This flower fair is just a group of children coming to play, to see who is pleasing to each other, and it's not about picking flowers. They don't like me, but I still look at it." Not on them."
The old lady was a little angry: "Why don't you listen to persuasion? Look in other people's houses, is there any daughter-in-law who doesn't listen to what the mother-in-law says?"
Yang was a little anxious: "Mother, why didn't I listen to you? It's really too late to change the potted plants now. Back then, I couldn't buy so many potted plants and only used the flowers..."
The old lady was also anxious: "It's that late, can you speak a little softer tomorrow?"
Yang frowned: "I'll try my best, then tomorrow you talk to those wives more, and I don't show up?"
The old lady pointed at Mrs. Yang: "You are still disobedient!"
Over there, Shen Xiang ran over and shouted loudly: "Mom! I knocked down the third brother today!"
Behind Shen Zhuo strode angrily and followed: "Mother! Not at all! I sat down on purpose to let her!"
Shen Xiang turned his head and said, "No! I knocked you down!"
Shen Zhuo retorted: "No!"
Shen Xiang stopped: "It's just knocked down!"
Shen Zhuo would never admit it in front of his mother, grandmother and a large group of servants: "No! You are talking nonsense!"
Shen Xiang became anxious, and turned back to Shen Zhuo: "You don't admit it?!"
The two wrestled together, mixed with some punches and kicks. Shen Xiang was eight years old, tall and strong. Shen Zhuo was eleven years old. Although he was a boy, he also practiced martial arts, but he was thin, like a small bean sprouts. In a defensive state, the two stalemate for a while.
Yang shouted: "Sanlang! Do you still look like an older brother?! How can you fight with your younger sister?"
Shen Zhuo said: "She wants to practice martial arts, so of course she wants to fight..." She stumbled and knocked Shen Xiang to the ground. Shen Xiang just finally won a hand with his ingenuity in the martial arts training ground, but now he lost in front of so many people, his face turned red for a moment, he jumped up with a loud cry, and continued to fight with Shen Zhuo, not paying attention to anything When the trick is done, just beat it like a normal child.
Yang yelled a few more words, seeing that they didn't listen, she sighed loudly, led the crowd around them, and continued to inspect. The old lady also shook her head, pulled Shen Wen to follow, and said in a low voice: "My daughter is the most obedient, I can't fight like this in the future."
Yang turned her head and said, "Mother, if they fight like this, they will be better in the future."
The old lady snorted: "You just know how to be stubborn with me, they learned from you, so they are so disobedient..."
The two walked while bickering, Shen Wen turned to look at Shen Xiang and Shen Zhuo in the distance, the two were still pushing and shoving. Recalling that in her previous life, it was because of these small fights that often erupted in the Hou's Mansion. Tomorrow, when she saw those civil servants and wives being helped in by the maids, like weak willows supporting the wind, and walking slowly and elegantly, she felt a strong sense of inferiority. The government is inferior.
In this era, the imperial court prioritized civil affairs over military affairs, and the usual major national affairs were decided by civil servants, and military officials had no say. Even after military officers fought on the battlefield, the final rewards and punishments were decided by the civil officials. Normally, there is a clear difference in the style of civil servants and military officials. As far as manners are concerned, in the civil servant camp, not only are the wives and misses supported by maids as they walk, and the hem of their skirts should not be undulating, even those civil servants have to be accompanied by two beautiful maidservants when they go out to walk slowly. Walking up and down in one step makes him appear graceful. Not to mention that the military officer walks alone without any style, and even the women at home walk like flying, which makes the family members of the civil official look down on him very much. Most civil servants were promoted through the imperial examination, and the family naturally focused on poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, while the military officer talked about the fight on the battlefield in the future, and father and son soldiers in battle. When the courts of the two parties met, their conversations were different, and the military officer's behavior and words were rough and rude. It's a pity that the civil servants don't go to the battlefield, so the military officials can't get back to the scene, they can only curse in private.
The flower fair held by the military official's mansion is only third-rate in the capital, and the family members of ordinary civil servants will not patronize it. It's just that the Marquis of Zhenbei is now holding a heavy army, powerful in the northern borders, and is the number one military general in the imperial court. The flower fair of the Hou's mansion will naturally attract some wives and ladies of civil servants.
Because tomorrow is the flower festival, Yang warned Shen Wen's maid to let Shen Wen go to bed early, but Shen Wen reconfirmed the six sachets she had prepared for the next day.
The nurse He looked at Shen Wen and carefully checked whether the edges of the jewelry and the sachet were sewn tightly. She took the thread in her hand and sewed it several times in some places to make the already messy stitches more prominent. Strong, couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "Why don't you let the maids do it, little lady? Why do you do it yourself?" Isn't this a waste of things? Such a good baby on the outside of such an ugly sachet? The maids' skills must be much better than Shen Wen's, and they won't be unable to show their hands when the time comes.
Shen Wen said earnestly: "My mother said that only what I do is meaningful. I made these for my brothers, sisters and friends."
He sighed: "You are still young and your eyes are weak. It will not be too late to do it in two years." Wait until your craftsmanship improves.
Shen Wen smiled: "I know I'm not good at embroidery, that's why I put such good jewelry outside, so they won't throw it away. Moreover, I made it like this, so they will remember that I am six years old It’s for them. My grandma will watch it for me, don’t let anyone take it away.”
He nodded again and again: "Okay, there are six in total. I asked Xia Hong to put them away. Go to bed."
Shen Wen responded, and Xia Hong hurried over to serve. Shen Wen pointed to the four light green sachets and said: "These are for my brothers and sisters tomorrow, don't mess with these two green ones." Xia Hong hummed and packed the sachets. Xia Hong is already thirteen years old, and she is not the one who will marry Shen Wen in the future. Shen Wen's memory of her is very vague, but she only remembers that she spoke very little and was silent most of the time.
Shen Wen secretly sighed in his heart: She has no one now. This servant girl won't stay for long, and Mrs. He is soft-tempered. Seeing that she loves to cry, the other maids are usually not too close to her. Since I want to pretend to be weak, I can't put on a posture to subdue other people. Moreover, the Marquis of Zhenbei is at the border, and his mother and wife are all in Beijing. Who would believe that he is not a hostage? The palace is full of the emperor's eyeliner, she dare not choose her confidant casually. Many people she knew would live and die with the Hou Mansion in the future were too young or did not show up, so she could only wait.
