Splendid Book

Chapter 5
"Second Young Master, wait a moment, Third Miss is still asleep," Shen Changle heard someone talking outside in a daze.

She snorted, and the maid guarding outside the curtain immediately asked softly: "Miss San, are you awake?"

"Who is outside?" She asked, and what came to her ears was a childish voice, which sounded soft and soft. Even now, Shen Changle is still a little unaccustomed to her own voice.

She thought all this was just a dream, but now even she herself has to admit that there is no such real dream in this world, she really went back to the past.In the past few days, she often sat in front of the mirror and stared at the person in the mirror. It turned out that she had grown up like this when she was young.

So after three or four days, she had completely accepted this fact.She was thinking, maybe she was shot by an arrow and died at that time, so she went back to her past.Or is the past just a dream?

All of this has changed so much that she herself is not sure what is real and what is a dream.

"Changle," only a childish male voice came to mind outside the curtain.

It was the second elder brother's voice. Second elder brother, she stood up abruptly, stretched out her hand and pulled open the curtain in front of her, and looked at the little boy standing outside wearing a bamboo green brocade robe. She saw a gold inlaid jade collar on his neck. It is a milky white jade pendant.

"Second brother," she looked at Shen Ruwen in front of her and really wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

Since she was a child, she has had two older brothers to protect her, so even if Lin shi looked at her like that and Shen Jin often targeted her, she didn't care at all.And after she became a widow, it was the second elder brother who picked her up in person. Whether it was him or the eldest brother, they were both good to her and good to her.

"Changle, are you sick?" Shen Rufan, who is now only six years old, ran to her bedside in a hurry, looked up at her, and asked worriedly.

In the past, Shen Changle only knew how to abide by the rules, not to mention acting like a baby with his father, even with his two older brothers, he rarely acted like a baby.Besides, even brothers, when they get older, they will be separated from each other.She just saw her second brother a few more times before, and she was beaten a few times by Lin's overtly and secretly.And she was even more ashamed and angry because of her words, and then became more and more alienated from her two brothers.

Now it seems that she is really stupid.Even if there are rules, this kind of kinship cannot be changed.What's more, Shen Jinming and Shen Ruyan saw each other often, and Mrs. Lin kept praising her father in front of her.

Some things, when you look back, you will only feel that you were so stupid and stupid back then.

So she nodded, her little head was like a chicken pecking rice, and said pitifully: "Second brother, I'm sick, why don't you come to see me?"

"It's not that I don't want to see you." Hearing what she said, Shen Ruan waved his hands vigorously, and hurriedly said, "I accompanied my grandmother to the countryside to visit my relatives. It's not that I didn't want to come to see you on purpose."

In fact, Shen Changle also knew that the reason why the two elder brothers never came was because they were not at home.Even grandma did. Speaking of which, at home, grandma loves herself very much.After she came back from widowhood, her grandmother was afraid that the servants in the family would disrespect her, so she rewarded her with something every day.

Thinking about it now, she was so lukewarm to her grandmother in the past, it was simply unfilial.

"Why is only the second elder brother here?" Shen Changle glanced outside, obviously a little disappointed, shouldn't the two elder brothers come to see her together.

When Shen Rufan heard this, he snorted and asked with some displeasure: "Aren't you happy because I'm the only one who comes to see you?"

Shen Changle glanced at him and was stunned. She actually forgot that her second brother had such a temper when he was a child, but when her second brother grew up, his temper was simply...

So now he spoke in such a tone, even Shen Changle was taken aback for a moment.But is she really a three-year-old doll? She immediately held her face and said with a miserable expression: "Second brother, do you think I've lost weight?"

In fact, Shen Changle wanted to express, you see that once I got sick, I became sickly thin, so you don't want to be as knowledgeable as me.

But Shen Ruan stared at her for a while, looking at her younger sister's chubby bun face, and endured it for a long time before restraining the urge to pinch her.So he said very happily: "Changle, don't worry, you are not thin at all."

Shen Changle: "..."

She looked at the innocent smile on Shen Ruwen's face, and really didn't know if her second brother said this sincerely, or just teasing her.

But before she thought about it, Shen Ruan stuffed the brocade box he brought over into her arms, and only heard him say proudly: "Changle, it's a pity that you didn't go, although the road is very boring. , but the rally in Yongnian County was very interesting, and I bought you two clay dolls at the rally."

Shen Changle looked down at the box in her hand. Under Shen Rufan's expectant eyes, she opened the box and saw two not very beautiful clay dolls inside, with a happy expression on her face, and cheered: "Second brother, You are so kind to me and brought me a gift."

Seeing that his younger sister 'really' liked it, Shen Ru also showed a satisfied expression on his face. He pointed to the clay doll and said: "This is an imported product, a Western thing."

Shen Changle can be very sure that Shen Ruan must have been tricked.Because after she entered the palace, she also saw a lot of imported products tributed by Western royal families. To be honest, those dolls with yellow hair and huge skirts were not comparable to the pair of clay dolls in front of her.Looking at the pair of clay dolls, she probably came from Jiangnan.

But this is Shen Rufan's intention anyway, she is still very satisfied.

Unexpectedly, then Shen Ruan stretched out two fingers very proudly, and said, "I bought this for two taels of silver."

Now they are still young, so there are not many monthly cases.Shen Changle, as a daughter of the first wife, receives five taels of silver every month, and I heard that the two elder brothers receive six taels of silver every month.So that means, Shen Ruan actually spent one-third of his monthly subscription to buy these two ugly dolls.Shen Changle felt this brother-sister relationship.

"Second brother, you are so kind to me," Shen Changle said emotionally.

Just don't be taken advantage of next time.Shen Changle thought very sincerely, just looking at Shen Ru's expression, forget it, let's not tell the truth, not just two taels of silver, for their Duke of Wei, it is a drop in the bucket.

So the two brothers and sisters happily discussed Shen Ruan's trip to the countryside.

Seeing that they had been talking for so long without any intention of stopping, Aunt Shun smiled and said, "Why don't I wait for the girl to change her clothes, the second young master has some snacks outside, wait a moment."

Shen Rufan came here to look for her sister right after she came back, at this moment Shen Changle suddenly remembered and asked: "Is grandma back too?"

"Of course, it was Daddy who went outside the city to pick us up. My wife was waiting at the door just now. I didn't see you, so I came to look for you," Shen Ruan said.

Shen Changle was startled, it turned out that this is the grandmother who came back.Probably because Dad loves her so much, seeing that she just recovered from illness, he didn't let her stand outside waiting in such a hot day.Presumably, everyone will be in grandma's yard at this time, so the second brother ran into his own yard because he was young and could not obey the rules.

"Aunt Shun, help me change quickly," Shen Changle said anxiously.

Seeing how anxious she was, Shen Ru thought she wanted to play with him, so she smiled and coaxed her: "Changle, don't worry, I'll just wait for you outside."

"Well, after I change my clothes, my brother will accompany me to pay my respects to grandma," Shen Changle said solemnly.

Aunt Shun next to her heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she smiled kindly. She said with great emotion: "Our third girl is really smart. I know that the old lady loves you, and I know how to honor the old lady."

Seeing Aunt Shun's satisfied expression, Shen Changle felt a little embarrassed.

In the previous life, the grandmother actually loved her very much, after all, she was her first granddaughter.Although the second room also has two older sisters, the second uncle is only a concubine, so the grandmother treats his two daughters only because of face.What's more, the second uncle found a job outside, and took his wife and children to take up the post.So under the grandmother's knee, she is the eldest granddaughter.

Only later, Mother Xu said in front of her that the reason why her mother died early due to dystocia was because she was tortured by her grandmother during pregnancy.At first, she didn't dare to believe it, but then her grandmother arranged for her father to have a room twice, which made Lin very sad, but she didn't dare to speak out against it.Seeing that such a formidable person as Mrs. Lin had to be carefully served by her grandmother, she naturally believed Madam Xu's words.So she often resented her grandmother in her heart, thinking that if she was more generous to her daughter-in-law, her mother would not have died so early.

But Shen Changle never dared to ask such a question.Since she was born, she has no memory of her mother, and even if she has a word about her mother, she has learned it from the mouths of those women.

So in Shen Changle's heart, the mother died to give birth to her.Perhaps the reason why she didn't dare to get close to her two elder brothers was because she took their mother away.

Such doubts gradually became a scar in her heart. Although the scar seemed to be invisible as she got older, she knew that it had not healed.

It wasn't until she came back as a widow, when her grandmother mentioned her mother, that she realized that everything was not what she thought.

My mother has always been in poor health. When she was pregnant, even the doctor mentioned that the pregnancy might be difficult.But she never thought of giving up on herself, and she never regretted giving birth to her.

So when she lives again, she must not experience the fate of the previous life again, and not let her family members be hurt by her own affairs.

Shen Changle secretly made up her mind in her heart that she would live a peaceful and beautiful life in this life, instead of spending one pale day after another in a desolate courtyard.But thinking of this, another figure appeared in her mind.

Then she shook her head, he is the Ninth Five Lord, and he ascended to the throne with such a drastic method in the future, after all, he is not her beloved.

Besides, as a daughter of the Duke of Wei's mansion, she still worries about not being able to marry a good family.In this life, as long as she avoids the two undesired people in the previous life, she will never lose Kefu's reputation again.
