Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes
In less than a while, Shu Huan had all the things Shu Huan wanted, and Huiyun was cautious, for fear that it might not suit her, she brought four or five books, enough for her to pick and read, and also brought a thin blanket for her to cover when it was cold at night. Then lock the door and leave
.
At this moment, realgar was burning in the corner of the wall, the straw was piled comfortably, a thin blanket was spread on the straw, four or five books were in hand, a candle was lit, and he lay down comfortably, letting out a deep breath.
The fly in the ointment is that there is no candlestick, presumably Huiyun is still worried that she will commit suicide and dare not give her sharp objects, so she has to lean sideways and put the book close to the candle, so as to have enough light to read.
The characters in the book are in traditional Chinese characters, hand-copied in small letters, and the handwriting is neat and clear.
Traditional Chinese characters have many strokes, so it is not easy to write, but it is not difficult to understand. Except for a few uncommon, other common characters, she can see the difference even if she half-recognizes them. She was not used to the top-to-bottom reading method and long sentences without punctuation. She felt dizzy after reading two or three pages.
However, the book in hand is a chronological history book, which is very useful for understanding the history of this world. She read it patiently and picked the key points, only to find that she had never even heard of the year name and country name recorded on it. Another unknown space-time.
Anyway, her history is so-so, she only knows some important things in general, and her memory of the age has long been blurred. She was confused and her eyes were darkened, so she was not disappointed, and only secretly wrote down the current country name, Qi.
I flipped through the book, and suddenly a piece of writing paper fell out of it.
Even if she snatched it in time with sharp eyes and quick hands, part of the paper was burned by the flame of the candle. After she took the book and patted it out, some of the writing on it was so charred and damaged that it was unreadable.
She still couldn't hold back her curiosity to look at it, and saw the words written on the paper: "Yu lost his mother when he was young, and unfortunately suffered from a serious illness. Daughter of the Xiashu family, boudoir name... I still remember the four characters left by a monk in the past, happy when I see you happy, could it be that this marriage is destined... I am not very happy..."
There was still no punctuation on the writing paper, and she read the sentence off by herself, and she didn't know if it was wrong, but when she saw the word "Shu's daughter", her eyelids twitched, and then she saw "Jian Huan Ze" "Happy" and the following words, she couldn't help but curse out: "God decides your sister!"
After scolding, she felt that she seemed a little too rude, so she couldn't help covering her mouth
.
The words on the written paper are incomplete, but the general meaning can be seen. She is only obsessed with the word "Shu Huan". Could it be that the original owner of this body has the same name and surname as her
As for the fate of the marriage, she just regarded it as nonsense, if that was the case, the original owner would not have hanged himself on the night of the bridal chamber, so the second master would not be so "happy" running around the yard after seeing "Huan"? How can I faint!
Anyway, if you want to grab something, you won't grab a concubine who has already taken a concubine!
Shu Huan lit the writing paper on the candle flame with disdain, and watched it burn to ashes.
It's just that, after all, her mood was a bit depressed. She was impatient to read any more history books, so she picked up another book at random. She didn't expect to turn it up and read it, it was actually a strange book!
I have only read two lines, and my mind is already full of Liaozhai plots such as deserted nights, ruined temples, scholars, fox girls, ghosts, etc., and at this moment the night is quiet, and there is a cool breeze blowing in from under the crack of the door from time to time, shaking the candles flickering, She was so frightened that she quickly threw the book into the corner, and habitually reached out to touch the jade pendant that usually hung around her neck.
The jade pendant was obtained by her mother from the temple when she was young. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits and drive away filth, and keep her safe forever. Believe it or not, she always carried it with her since she was a child. It can make people feel at ease, but she forgot I have already time-traveled, this touch, naturally felt nothing, thinking of the weirdness I have personally experienced, my face turned pale in a flash.
However, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the door at this time, which scared her so much that she wrapped the whole thin blanket around her body, curled up into a ball, and said to herself: don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door...
While thinking about it, the sound of footsteps stopped, and someone really knocked on the door!
Shu Huan closed her eyes tightly, she shouldn't be beaten to death!
After knocking twice, there was no movement, and someone outside murmured softly: "I don't know what Aunt Yun is thinking, let us come and have a look at it in the middle of the night. At this time, people are already asleep, right?"
"Don't complain, she's just being cautious. She's afraid that something will happen, and she won't be able to explain it. Hey, there's a light in the crack of the door. See if Second Mistress is asleep."
There was a moment of silence before the conversation sounded again.
"sleep
! Just didn't put out the wax. Sister Xiangqian, I'm so sleepy, do I really have to stay here all night? "
"How about, let's take turns, you will watch the first half of the night, and I will watch the second half of the night."
"No, it's dark outside here, I'm afraid to be alone, sister, can you stay with me for a while?"
Hearing that it was just two maidservants coming to check, Shu Huan was relieved immediately, wishing they would not leave, so that at least they knew that someone was guarding nearby, so they wouldn't think wildly.
The two maids didn't know that she was awake and bored outside the door, so they couldn't help chatting in low voices.
"Sister Xiangqian, you haven't got your monthly payment this month, have you?"
"It is said that the shop needs money turnover, and it will be made up in two days, but in fact, it can be obtained everywhere except here and the third girl."
"The second master was not favored at home, but now that he has married such a grandma, he is afraid that he will be squeezed out even more, and we will be angry with him."
"That can't be helped. The second master's illness is known all over the city. Of those well-matched families, who is willing to marry a daughter to celebrate the joy? We have to look for it from poor families."
"Isn't Aunt Yun also from a poor family? The master and wife bought it back with money, much better than her."
"That's someone who learned the rules before Na came here. How can it be compared? Stop talking about this and let the inside listen carefully."
"I heard it when I heard it. You are calling Aunt Yun's house now. I am the person next to the second master. Can she still attack us?"
…
After all, the two maids still lowered their voices, and after a few more words, they fell silent.
After listening for a long time, Shu Huan finally figured out that the maid who was extremely dissatisfied with her in her words was Qiao Yun who took her servant to imprison her in the morning. No wonder she complained, the original owner hanged himself once, which made these people frightened, unable to sleep in the middle of the night, and had to guard outside the door, it's strange that there is no resentment.
She smiled slightly, but didn't care. Knowing that there was someone outside, she felt much more at ease. She closed her eyes, listened to the low chirping of insects in the yard, and fell asleep unknowingly.
