Seeking Happiness Chapter 3: When you see joy, you are happy
Within a moment, Shu Huan had everything she wanted, and Huiyun was cautious, fearing that it might not be what she wanted, so she took four or five books, enough for her to pick and read, and she also brought a thin blanket to keep her at night Cover it when it's cold, then lock the door and leave.
At the moment, the corner of the wall is scented with realgar, the straw is piled comfortably, the thin blanket is spread on the straw, there are four or five books on hand, and a candle is lit, and he lie down comfortably, taking a deep breath.
The flaw in the beauty is that there is no candlestick. Presumably Huiyun is still worried that she will commit suicide and dare not give her sharp things. She had to turn her side and put the book close to the candle to have enough light to read.
The characters on the book are traditional, handwritten in lower case, and the handwriting is neat and clean.
There are many strokes in traditional Chinese characters. It is not easy to write, but it is not difficult to understand. Except for a few rare, other commonly used characters, she can see the difference even if she half recognizes and half guesses, only from the right to the right. On the left, the reading style from top to bottom and the long sentences without punctuation make her very uncomfortable, and she feels dizzy after reading two or three pages.
But this is a chronological history book, which is very useful for understanding the history of the world. She patiently looked at the key points and found out that she had never heard of the year and country names recorded above. It seems It was through another unknown time and space.
Anyway, history is so-so, and I only know some important things in general. The memory of the age has long been vague. It is far from enough to rely on the common sense of history to seek good fortune and avoid evil, even if you go to the familiar dynasties of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing , She was still confused and her eyes darkened, so she was not disappointed, but secretly wrote down the current country name, Kai.
was flipping through the book, and suddenly a piece of writing paper fell from it.
Even if she snatched it in time, the paper was partially scorched by the flame of the candle. After taking the book and patting it out, some of the writing on it was burnt and damaged beyond recognition.
She still couldn’t help but look curiously, and saw the words on the paper: "Yu Youyou lost her mother, and unfortunately suffers from a serious illness. She consciously will die soon... There are elder brothers and younger brothers in the family, and Yu Ben has no intention to marry again. Wife...Hire Shu's daughter, boudoir name... I still remember the four characters left by a monk who traveled in the past, and I am happy when I see it. Could it be that this marriage is fixed... I am not very happy in my heart..."
There is still no punctuation on the word paper. The sentence was broken by her feeling, and she didn’t know if it was wrong, but when she saw the four words "Shu's daughter", her eyelids were already twitching and she saw " Seeing the four characters "Happiness is joy", and if there is something at the end, she couldn't help but scolded: "Tianding your sister!"
After cursed, she felt like she was too rude, and she couldn't help covering her mouth.
The words on the paper are incomplete, but the general meaning can be seen. She only clings to the word "Shu Huan". Is it possible that the original owner of this body has the same name and surname as her?
As for the marriage and destiny, she just treats it as nonsense. If it is true, the original owner will not hang himself on the night of the bridal chamber. Then the second master will see "Huan", and is not "happy" so that the yard is full of chaos ? Where can I faint!
Anyway, I won’t rob someone who has taken a concubine!
Shu Huan disdainfully lit the paper on the candle flame and watched it burn into ashes.
just this way, the mood is a bit depressed, she is impatient to read another history book, so she picks up another book, unexpectedly turning it over, it turned out to be a strange story!
I didn’t read two lines until I read it. I was already full of plots of Liao Zhai such as barren nights, ruined temples, scholars, fox girls, ghosts, etc. At the same time, the night was still at night, and the cool breeze infiltrated under the door from time to time, shaking like candle It was so frightened that she quickly threw the book into the corner and habitually reached out to touch the jade pendant that she used to hang around her neck.
jade pendant was asked by her mother from the temple when she was young. It is said to be able to avoid evil and exorcise filth and keep you safe forever. Whether you believe it or not, it is always something that she brought with her since she was a child. It can make people feel at ease, but She forgot that she had already crossed, this touch, naturally touched empty, thinking of the weird experience that she had personally experienced, her face paled.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door. She was so scared that she wrapped the entire thin blanket on her body and shrank into a ball, meditating in her heart: Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door...
as I read, the footsteps stopped, and someone really knocked on the door!
Shu Huan closed her eyes tightly, and she shouldn't be killed!
knocked twice and did not move, someone outside whispered: "I don't know what Aunt Yun thinks, let us come over in the middle of the night to check, right this hour, people have already fallen asleep?"
"Don’t blame you, she is just being cautious, she is afraid that something will happen, and she can’t explain it. Hey, there is light in the crack of the door, you can see if the mistress is asleep."
was silent for a while before the dialogue sounded again.
"Sleep! I just didn't extinguish the wax. Sister Xiang Qian, I'm so sleepy, I really want to stay here all night?"
"Or, let's take turns, you watch the middle of the night, I watch the middle of the night."
"It’s not good, it’s oozing outside, I’m afraid to stay alone~IndoMTL.com~Sister, you stay with me for a while?"
Hearing that there were only two maids coming over to check, Shu Huan was relieved immediately, wishing them not to leave, so that he knew that someone was nearby, so he wouldn't think about it.
The two maids didn't know that she was awake, and she was boring outside the door, and they couldn't help chatting in a low voice.
"Sister Xiangqian, you still don't have the monthly money this month, right?"
"It is said that the cash flow is required in the shop, and it will be made up in two days. In fact, it is available everywhere except here and the third girl."
"The second master was not favored at home, but now that he comes back after marrying such a grandma, I am afraid that it will be more and more squeezed out, and even let us get angry."
"That’s no way. The second master’s illness is well known throughout the city. Who is willing to marry a girl and come over for joy? I have to look for the poor family."
"Isn't Aunt Yun from a poor family? Or did the old lady buy it for money, much better than her."
"It was learned the rules before Na came in, how is it like? Stop talking about it, let me hear it carefully."
"If you hear it, you will hear it. You are now calling Aunt Yun's house. I am the person next to the second master. Can she still have us?"
……
The two maids still lowered their voices, and after a few more words, they became silent.
After listening to for a long time, Shu Huan can figure it out. The maid who is extremely dissatisfied with her in words is Qiaoyun who took her servant to imprison her in the morning. Not to blame for her complaining, the original owner hanged himself once, and caused these people to become frightened. They couldn't sleep most of the night, and they had to guard outside the door. It was strange that there was no grievance.
She smiled slightly and didn't care. Knowing that there were people outside, she felt more settled. She closed her eyes and listened to the low noise of insects in the yard. She fell asleep unknowingly.
