Splendid Book

Chapter 2 Dreaming
In the boundless darkness, Shen Changle just felt dazed. She wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't.

There are people shouting around, yes, there are people shouting.

At this time, her consciousness was finally awake, but she couldn't open her eyes no matter what.Shen Changle was anxious, thinking about what happened to him.

But the subsequent scenes were like a revolving lantern, constantly flashing in my mind.The emperor said that he would take her out of the palace to watch the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so she was trying on the clothes she would wear when she left the palace tomorrow.

Bright and bright clothes, as well as exquisite jewelry, her heart jumped for joy when she thought of such a lively Lantern Festival.She has been living in a gloomy life these years, and she hasn't experienced such excitement in many years.

It's just that she had just changed her clothes when she heard noises outside. Before she could recover, a group of guards in armor and holding swords rushed in.

They not only hijacked her, but also tied up the Queen Mother.Yes, it was King Wu who conspired against him, but he said that he would let the emperor be arrested without a fight.Shen Changle couldn't help but want to laugh, the emperor treats her well, but it's just superficial, how could such an honorable person like him be arrested just because of her.

But even so, she still didn't want to die.

She looked at the door desperately, knowing in her heart that the emperor would not come, but she hoped that he would come, until she heard voices from outside...

It's the emperor.

She was about to rejoice, but suddenly her heart hurt, she looked down and saw an arrow stuck in her chest, and the arrow had already sunk into her body.

Shen Changle heard someone crying next to his ear, why were they crying?Could it be because she died...

"Why isn't the doctor here, my poor girl," a middle-aged woman's voice sounded in her ear, which sounded like Shun Gu's voice.

Shen Changle smiled, she must be dreaming.When she was five years old, Shun Gu was beaten by her stepmother Lin for stealing things from the house, and then kicked out.In fact, she always felt that Gu Shun was wronged, but she was too young, how could the elders in the family believe her words.

When she grew up, she wanted to find Shun Gu again, and sent someone to inquire, only to find out that her son died the second year after she was kicked out. It was said that he was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment, and then she went crazy. , Finally accidentally fell into the lake and drowned.

"What's the matter with Luwu's little hoof, why hasn't he come back for so long?" Another voice sounded, Shen Changle was more familiar with this voice, it was Mother Xu.

Nanny Xu was the nanny in charge of her room, and she was supposed to accompany her to get married, but her fiancé-in-law fell from riding a horse and died before he came to marry her.So she couldn't bear Madam Xu to work hard for herself at such an old age, so she sent her to retire.

When she left, Mother Xu held her hand and cried for a long time.It's just that Shen Changle doesn't like Madam Xu very much, because she always mentions that her mother died to give birth to her, which makes Shen Changle always feel that she is an unknown person.

Later, the sudden death of her fiancée and son-in-law seemed to confirm this again.

What's wrong with her, she always thinks of these past people, even in her dreams, she only remembers the past.But why not let her dream about her father and brothers.

She tried her best to dream of her father. In the past, she always felt that her father loved Shen Jin more than her, so she was jealous, but she was not good at being coquettish, so she could only silently watch and envy her.

After she became a widow, her brother desperately took her back to Duke Wei's mansion. When she went to pay her respects to her father, he looked at him for a long time and said softly: "Since you're back, you can stay at ease. Dad is here."

At that time, she realized that her father loved her no less than Shen Jin.

"Girl, girl," unexpectedly, her consciousness became more and more blurred, until she opened her eyes, and saw that the woman in stone blue clothes with only a silver hairpin in front of her was really Shun Gu.

When she saw Shun Gu, did she really die, but why didn't her mother come to pick her up?Or she came too late, mother had already passed the bridge of Naihe.

She smiled at Shun Gu, and Shun Gu almost shed tears when she saw how well-behaved she was.

She stretched out her hand to grab Shun Gu's hand, but when she stretched out her hand, she saw a white, tender, chubby little hand. This dream was so realistic, she put her own hand in front of her eyes.

The pair of small hands in front of him are chubby, and there are even several dimples on the back of the hands because of the amount of flesh.She didn't even know that she was so chubby since she was a child.So she really dreamed that she was a child?

She has no luck in marriage, let alone having a child, and she has not even broken her body.But when she returned to Duke Wei's mansion later, Shen Jin would often bring her child back, such a cute and beautiful child, it was really enviable to see.

"Girl, but I'm hungry," Shun Gu probably knew that she had lost her manners, so she quickly wiped away her tears and asked softly.

It's okay if she doesn't say anything, Shen Changle suddenly felt empty in his stomach after asking such a question.She rubbed her stomach with the other chubby hand, and while touching it, she thought, this dream is so realistic, it is so realistic that even the feeling of being hungry can be so realistic.

So she nodded.

Seeing that she was hungry, Shungu immediately said: "The servant girl, go get some food for the girl."

"Aunt Shun, accompany me," Shen Changle said, but as soon as she uttered, the milky voice made her laugh, it turned out that her voice was so cute when she was a child.

As for childhood memories, Shen Changle can no longer remember clearly.But she didn't know that the dream was so real. Could it be that these memories have been hidden in her memory?

Mother Xu, who had been outside all the time, came into the room at this time, and seeing that Shen Changle was awake, she clasped her hands together happily, and said, "Thank God, our girl is finally awake."

"Okay, go get some food first, the girl is hungry," Shun Gu said coldly after hearing her exaggerated words.

Mother Xu didn't care, she smiled, turned around and went out again.

It was just this scene that made Shen Changle amazed.

No, no, she clearly remembered that Madam Xu kept talking in front of her, saying how good her relationship with Aunt Shun was.And when Shun Gu left, she was urged to take good care of her.But why, now that she is looking at it, Aunt Shun doesn't like Madam Xu at all?
And today's Grandma Xu is not the one in charge in her room, so Shen Changle was very surprised by this scene.

Seeing that she was a little dazed, Aunt Shun asked, "Girl, you're really hungry, how about I ask someone to bring you some snacks?"

Shen Changle nodded.

Shun Gu went to get some refreshments, Shen Changle felt thirsty again, so she called the servant girl to come in and pour water for herself.But who would have thought that as soon as the teacup was brought to her mouth, she took a sip, and she immediately vomited it out, even the cup in her hand fell to the ground, and her hand was so hot that it hurt.

"Girl," the maid next to her was startled and called out.

As soon as Aunt Shun outside heard the sound, she hurried into the house, looked at the tea stains on the girl's hands, and said angrily, "What are you doing standing here, why don't you hurry up and get the burn ointment."

Shen Changle stared straight at the back of her hand, Aunt Shun took a handkerchief and wiped the back of her hand, and continued to breathe.

It took a long time before she raised her head and said, "It hurts."

Feeling sorry for her aunt, she quickly coaxed her.

But at this moment, Shen Changle couldn't stop panicking, why was it so painful, why was the pain so real in the dream.She stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek, pinching too hard, with an ouch.

This dream is too real.

At this time, in the main courtyard, Mrs. Lin, who had already had a big belly, was drinking tea impatiently.This was her first child, so she was naturally very serious, besides, when she went to offer incense, she secretly asked the doctor to take the pulse, and said that this child was a son.

Although she is just a house-filler, according to her own family background, Duke Wei's house-filling is unattainable.If she wasn't the direct cousin of Shen Lingcheng's original wife, Zhang Shi, even if Shen Lingcheng fell in love with her, the Zhang family might not agree.

It was because of this cousin relationship that her aunt let her marry in.

But before she married in, whether her aunt made indirect remarks or raised some points in person, all she talked about were the three children left by her cousin Zhang.

"Ma'am, Miss San is still ill, what should I do?" Nurse Zhang beside her said with a worried expression on her face.

Lin didn't speak, and just put the teacup on the table.It was getting hotter and hotter this day, and she was pregnant, so she didn't even dare to put more ice in the room, so she was almost getting prickly heat from the heat.

So when I heard this, my heart became even more impetuous, and I couldn't help but a little irritated: "What's going on, it's just a small illness, and it has been delayed for so long?"

Seeing that she was angry, Zhang Momo didn't dare to speak more.But now that the old lady and the master are coming back, what if the third girl's illness is still not cured by then?

"Could it be that she's sick, or did I do it on purpose?" After hearing Madam Zhang's worries, Lin snorted and said angrily.

Before she got married, she still thought that she would treat these three children as her own.But who knows that after marrying in, it's not the case at all.Leaving aside the two young masters, just this little girl, who is only a little older, sees her with eyes that are not eyes, and eyebrows that are not eyebrows.

In addition, she became pregnant soon and was about to have her own child. Naturally, she was even less concerned about these three children.

A few days ago, the Shen family's ancestral home in Yongnian County sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the second wife's wife was not in good health.Although the letter didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that the second wife's time was approaching.In addition, the old lady hadn't been back to Yongnian County since the old man passed away, so she had to go back to see her sister-in-law this time anyway.The Duke was afraid that the people below would not care enough to serve him in such a hot day, so he went with him himself.

This time Sanfang also went back, and Lin heard that she was going to adopt the nephew from the ancestral house.Sanfang doesn't have a child so far, and the old lady can't wait.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin touched her stomach again, feeling that no matter what, she had to give birth to a son in order to gain a firm foothold in this family.

"Go and have a look in that yard again," Lin thought for a while before saying.

Nanny Zhang was about to answer, but a little maid came in outside, and as soon as she entered the room, she hurriedly said: "Ma'am, the Duke is back."

When Lin heard that her husband had returned, she stood up from her chair and said in surprise, "Why did the master come back suddenly? Where is he now?"

"It's already on the second gate, it's going to be right now," the little maid came to announce the good news, although her voice was a little louder, but this time even Zhang Nanny's face was full of joy, so she didn't bother to pursue it.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly asked the maid beside her to come over to dress herself, and felt that her clothes were too plain, so she ordered someone to bring over a set of bright clothes.

Unexpectedly, she put on makeup and changed her clothes, and before the Duke came over, she ordered someone to take a look.But only now did she know that as soon as Shen Lingcheng came back, he went straight to Shanyueju.

When Lin heard this, she was so angry that she dropped the bronze mirror she was holding in her hand.

When Shen Lingcheng came in, Shen Changle was struggling to get up, no matter how much Aunt Shun persuaded her, she couldn't stop her.In the end, he heard the call of the Duke of the State coming back, this announcement, even Shen Changle sat on the bed and was honest.

When Shen Lingcheng, who was dressed in a dark blue plain brocade robe, came in, Shen Changle looked up at him.It turned out that my father was so handsome and tall when he was young.

When Shen Lingcheng saw his daughter staring at him blankly, he bent over, stretched out his hand to scrape the tip of her nose, and asked affectionately: "My little Changle, what's the matter, don't you know Daddy?"

Listening to his words, Shen Changle burst into tears for some reason.
