Chapter 2： Come back home

Shen Wen coughed violently and coughed out a piece of something stuck in his throat. A voice that was so familiar but unfamiliar to him sounded next to him: "Oh, it scares me to death. You uneasy, you want It's my life!" This is her mother! She used to think her mother was rude and tacky. Shen Wen burst into tears, crying loudly, and another slap on his back. Shen Wen felt that his internal organs were about to be photographed, and he couldn't breathe even more.

"Come on, grandma take a look, hey, don't take pictures anymore, the child is so small, the filming is broken..." This is the grandmother Gu. In tears, Shen Wen felt that he was being picked up and into an embrace, vaguely, his grandmother's temples were not completely white, and Shen Wen cried again.

She remembered that her mother used to say that when she was more than two years old, she almost died after swallowing because of eating a peanut. Her mother turned her body upside down and took the peanut out. And the mother said that she was a blessing in disguise, and she has been talking since then. She was all stupid before. Shen Wen thought that his previous soul entered this body at this time, and now that he has returned, it is considered a circle. But this time, her life will go another way.

In the sound of crying, she heard her mother accountable: "Saburo, why are you feeding the little girl peanuts, look, it almost choked her to death!" A child voice replied: "Mother, I didn't give it, it's herself. Take it from the table..." a girl voice said: "Yes, she can reach it on her toes!"

It's Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang! His wife Yang was only fifteen years old when she married Zhenbeihou, but she gave birth to her eldest son at the age of sixteen. She was named Shen Yi. Deterministic perseverance is the primary quality of a general. A year and a half later, he gave birth to the second son, Shen Jian, who was unwavering. In two years, when she was less than twenty years old, she gave birth to a third son, named Shen Zhuo. After three sons, the Yang family wanted a daughter, but when she was twenty-three years old, she finally gave birth to a daughter. Hou Ye said that she was a daughter, so he fetched water, hoping that she was kind and gentle, so she named Shen Xiang. Two years later, at the age of twenty-five, she gave birth to Shen Wen.

At this time, Shen Wen was two years old, his sister Shen Xiang was four years old, his third brother Shen Zhuo was seven years old, and his second brother Shen Jian was ten years old. In the future, his stern and steady eldest brother will only be an eleven or twelve-year-old child. Shen Wen thought that when he died, Shen Xiang was less than twenty years old, and Shen Zhuo was twenty-two before he made a kiss, and his second brother was twenty-four and five. The eldest brother who had two sons was just past twenty-six. Birthday. In her previous life, she felt that they were very big, but in these thousand years of wandering, she felt that they were so young when they died countless times! At this time they were still so young, Shen Wen was full of sorrow and joy, crying so much that his throat was dumb.

In Shen Wen's sorrowful cry, Yang's anger: "How old is she, how old you are, so many years of food have been eaten for nothing, she can eat peanuts, can't you stop her!"

The boy's voice: "But my mother didn't say that the little girl can't eat peanuts. Yesterday, my mother said that the little girl is too skinny and should feed her more."

The girl echoed: "Yes, yes..."

Yang cried, "Dare to talk back! Bring a ruler!"

The girl cried loudly. Shen Wen twisted her body and cried and shook her head in Yang's direction. The old lady Gu said with a smile: "The little girl is begging for mercy, how good a good girl you are, you know it Brother and sister."

Yang took Shen Wen from the old lady, and patted and said: "Silly girl! You know how to eat!"

Yang's was twenty-seven at this time. Although he had five children, his waist was a bit sturdy, but his brows and eyes were generous, with a few light lines on the corners of his eyes. Her husband Zhen Beihou Shen Yong was thirty-three this year. Five years ago, the old town Beihou died during a border inspection. Because the Shen family army was controlled by his only son Shen Yong, and the Shengshang Yunping attacked him, Shen Yong became Zhenbeihou. His mother Gu is revered as an old lady, and her realization is only fifty years old today. Shen Wen leaned on her mother's shoulders and continued to cry. She didn't know why she had so many tears, and her soul could not shed tears. She wanted to save a lot over the millennia.

While stroking Shen Wen's back, Yang told the two children in front of him: "You should be careful in the future, don't feed the little girl small things, not only peanuts, but also dates."

The boy's voice: "We don't give it, but she always finds something to eat, and she picked up rocks to eat the day before yesterday."

The girl's voice: "Yes, yes, she put it in her mouth and spit it out again."

Yang said: "You are mad at me! Who is watching the little girl! Change people!" There was a voice of persuasion...Shen Wen cried very tired and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, Shen Wen found that she was in the arms of a nurse. Her nurse He was only in her twenties. She came to Zheng's house as a companion in the future. When the Hou Ye had an accident, she repeatedly comforted Shen Wen, but she Just a woman, as helpless as Shen Wen. Since Shen Wen was placed under house arrest, he has never seen He again. After Shen Wen died, he knew from the comments of his servants that after he was placed under house arrest, the maids who were married were killed in the accompanying room, and even their children did not survive. Shen Wen was in tears again.

He whispered, saying that dinner has already been set, and now Master Hou is in the capital, and Master Hou is returning to his house tonight. Everyone is eating together, so the little lady can't sleep. When he arrived in the hall, Shen Wen saw that everyone was already seated. The old lady was smiling while looking at Zhen Beihou, his young and brave father, sitting beside Yang. The childish faces of the eldest and second elder brothers, and the third elder brother. With a mischievous look, Shen Xiang smiled admiringly at his brothers. Shen Wen's tears flowed again.

Yang motioned to the nurse to pass Shen Wen over, and said, "Why are you still crying?" Hou Shen Yong in Zhenbei always had a preference for his little daughter. He took Shen Wen from Yang and placed it on his leg. The top asked, "What's wrong?" Shen Wen turned his head and blinked vigorously, trying to see his father's appearance. Although he knew he shouldn't cry, he couldn't help crying.

Yang glanced at Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang, Shen Xiang looked at the ground, a little scared.

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 and laughed, "The good girl is called Daddy" and he hugged Shen Wen to his face and kissed him.

Yang was also stunned: "Finally yelled after so long! I was more than two years old, and Da Lang called out ten months ago." She hugged Shen Wen from Zhenbeihou's hands and wiped Shen Wen's nose and eyes with her silk. , Complaining and said: "Called Dad, mother who slapped you with anger today"

Shen Wen made persistent efforts, using his disobedient tongue to pronounce: "Wolf..." Yang laughed out loud and said loudly, "What a good girl!"

Shen Wen cried again. This time Shen Xiang was learning Shen Zhuo and said in a low voice: "Little crying bag!"

Yang reprimanded with a smile: "Don't talk about your sister, she is still young..."

Shen Wen sobbed, staring at the swollen eyes, looking back and forth at the people at the table. This is her relatives, her millennia of regret, and the guilt she can't let go of. She is back, and she will change the future. Hundreds of rivers return to the sea, and different routes will lead to the same goal. One day human beings will evolve into later generations, sooner or later, fly into space, 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 the loyalty will not regret, the conspiracy will not be completed, and she will not be able to die, so that her conscience can be at ease after death, and she can free herself from the heavy chains that have held 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 Cry Bag" replaced Shen Wen's name in informal occasions.

Shen Xiang began to practice martial arts at the age of five, and Shen Wen was held by a nurse to watch Shen Xiang's apprenticeship ceremony.

Shen Wen felt that Shen Xiang was tall and strong in his previous life. Now he thinks that Shen Xiang is a woman after all, with a few pounds of muscles in her body, how can she fight with the tigers and wolf men in Bei Rong. A woman under twenty years old, not married and having children, is trapped in the enemy line. , Will he feel lonely when he died thinking of this, Shen Wen began to cry.

Seeing Shen Xiang bowing down to a middle-aged woman, she cried and shook her head, opening her hand to let Shen Xiang hug. She didn't want Shen Xiang to practice martial arts, but the tears of a three-year-old child were of no use. Everyone said that Xiao Kui Bao missed her sister. After Shen Xiang finished the ceremony, she came over and hugged Shen Wen with her head upright and felt herself deeply. This little crying bag is not on the same level anymore.

Shen Yi hunted a deer at the age of thirteen and 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, saying in his heart that his family was different from this deer in the previous life, because they were all slaughtered. When people saw the little lady crying at the reception, they guessed that they couldn't bear the blood. They all said that the child of the second lady was kind-hearted, and the children naturally called the "little crying bag" more than a dozen times.

When Shen Zhuo was ten years old, he wrote a poem, and Shen Wen shed tears.

Shen Jian won the title of riding and shooting, and Shen Wen sobbed.

The peach blossoms in the backyard of the Hou Mansion bloomed, and Shen Wen cried. In autumn, the sweet-scented osmanthus of Hou Mansion fragrant, Shen Wen cried again. …

Anyway, Shen Wen had been crying until she was six years old. No one in the whole government knew that the young lady was soft as cotton. She shed tears in the wind and was saddened by the moon. She was a rare weak woman in the military commander's mansion. The children in the Hou Mansion all learn martial arts, only the second lady does not touch weapons, does not practice fist and foot, and only learns some light skills.

In terms of writing, Fuzhong also invited Mr. Qi Meng, the young lady is talented and intelligent, and her words are comparable to those of San Gongzi. But unlike the Three Young Masters who often quoted scriptures and narratives on soldiers, the little lady often sighed and sighed while holding the book. Even reading a common surname could burst into tears, causing her husband to laugh bitterly.

No one saw that in the dark tent, Shen Wen, who was only a child, sat in the night for a long time, her eyes closed, her expression more solemn than 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 limitations of this body, her consciousness was much weaker than when she had only the soul in the past. She found that the vibration of the body hindered the extension of consciousness. Only through meditation and breathing to control the vibration of the body can the consciousness be strengthened.

She goes to bed early every night and meditates after the maids go out. She doesn't need a teacher, she just adjusts her breathing according to the increase or decrease of consciousness. She can also observe her meridians inwardly and use her mind to guide her breath to move around the four meridians and eight meridians. She hopes that one day against others, she does not need to use weapons and fists, but only needs to focus on her consciousness, which can distort the opponent's meridians just like when she was a soul in the past. Moreover, her consciousness can't reach the distance as before, but it can reach three steps of the whole body. Shen Wen believes that with his growth and practice, his consciousness should be stronger.

Shen Wen once thought of assassinating the prince or even the emperor when his consciousness is strong enough, but this is not a safe way. First of all, she didn't know how long it would take for her consciousness to reach such a strong level. Before that, the prince might have started. Even if the assassination is successful, Bei Rong's hero will still go south, and Shen Jiajun will be wiped out without support. The other people involved in the **** case are still there, and they can completely support another master and calculate the Shen family in a place that Shen Wen did not foresee. Shen Wen didn't want to lose her foreseeable future, so that when things happened, she could have corresponding countermeasures. She wanted to eliminate all the main forces who wanted to harm her family, and could only cut off one by one after the other party revealed all their strength.

There are other considerations for Shen Wen’s unwillingness to start first: She has lingered in two circles for thousands of years. How many times have she seen good and evil reward evil and evil, people have to face their mistakes or crimes after death, and set the body to know how to give them back. No bit of the suffering caused by others will be missed. Although she has a heart for revenge, she is unwilling to exchange her eternal fate. She hopes that she can go to the light with her family instead of going to the dark. Therefore, she must act late and let the other party deserve the crime, rather than act first when the other party has not committed a crime, so that she can be different from those who kill innocent criminals.

Shen Wen can only set a trap, her first step is to make herself a weakness of the Hou Mansion. In the previous life, those people placed the Hou Mansion unfaithful in her name because they had mastered her. In this life, Shen Wen wants to act weaker and stupid than 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, start with a small crying bag.

Childhood is always flying away, and Shen Wen has just established the impression of "Little Crying Bag", he is already six years old.

This spring, the fifteen-year-old eldest brother Shen Yi was discussing his relatives. The Hou Mansion will hold a flower viewing party in April, inviting girls of the right age from various families to come. Regardless of the previous life or the present, this was the biggest social event in the Hou Mansion in her life. In the previous life, it was after this flower fair that Shen Wen began to hate the Hou Mansion and alienated his family.

Knowing the date of the flower fair, Shen Wen began to prepare the sachet to be given away at the flower fair. She prepared two kinds. One was made by the maids, embroidered with simple flowers and a small sachet filled with spices, which was no big difference from other people's sachets. One is made by herself, there are six in total. She doesn't pay attention to workmanship, her stitches are messy, the edges are stitched crookedly, and there is no embroidering outside. Even if she embroidered the year, month and day of the flower meeting with a single thread, the font is naturally like a spider crawling. Fortunately, the spices inside are very fragrant, and either a huge bead or a small jade ring is sewn on the outside, 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 made by her hand while no one saw them. These sachets are what she wants to give to people whom she wants to trust in the future.

In mid-April, the day before the flower fair, the Hou Mansion entered through the gate and placed pots of flowers along the road. Few pots were actually cultivated, most of which were cut from trees and inserted into the soil.

Yang's father is also a general, but his level is much lower than Zhenbeihou. Yang's father once ran for three hundred miles to reinforce him and rescued him when he was under siege by the enemy. Old Houye decided on this marriage on the battlefield. The old lady was somewhat brooding when she learned that she was originally a military commander, but her family was comparable to Zhenbeihou. Although her natal family was declining because of the death of all men, she still hoped that her only son, Shen Yong, would marry a famous lady or something. Later, I learned that Yang had been dancing swords since he was a child, but apart from his loud voice, he didn't learn much martial arts, so he was even more unhappy. Before I was hired, the old lady babbled a few times, and Master Hou was annoyed: He saved my life, so what else is unhappy about having such a loyal father? My daughter must not be wrong.

After getting married, although Yang's appearance is not amazing, but his temperament is hearty, and Shen Yong can get along well. Moreover, before the old lady had time to put on some mother-in-law's airs to squeeze her, she was pregnant, and she was a big fat boy all her life. The generation of Shen Yong in the Hou Mansion is a first-line single pass. The old lady and other children have not been saved. The old man is still not accepting concubines, and now suddenly has a grandson. She immediately put her dissatisfaction with the Yang family's lack of noble birth on her mind. After that, I look at my grandson with a smile every day. The little grandson just ran around, and Yang gave birth to another one! The old lady was too happy to know that she shut up: two fat babies, which she had been thinking privately. The good news is not over yet, the youngest is not as high as the table, the Yang family gave birth to a third son. The old lady secretly praised Hou Ye's vision, and the Yang family's prosperous family. The Hou Mansion is really prosperous from this generation.

When Lord Hou died, the old lady was in distress, but there were three little grandsons crying beside him. Yang was pregnant with another one, and the old lady had hope in her heart, and the days after that were not so difficult.

The Yang family had three sons and two daughters. He was full of confidence. Her husband had no intention of marrying a concubine. In the Hou Mansion, he was all in charge of his own house. These years, he has inevitably developed a non-distinctive style. Seeing Yang's arrogance every day, the old lady felt a little unhappy. Now that her husband is gone and her son is not with her, she always feels that her life is boring, so she counts on the Yang family to have a few more children. But in recent years, Zhenbei Hou Shen Yong has been away all year round, and Yang naturally has nothing to do. Although she knew it was not Yang's problem, the old lady blamed Yang unreasonably.

The Hou Mansion has not held any flower fairs for many years. From the perspective of the old lady, the management of the Yang family is far from what he did when he was young. She doesn't want to be a steward, but she can do it if she picks something wrong from time to time.

The old lady held Shen Wen in hand, followed the Yang family around in the courtyard of the mansion for the final inspection. A large group of maids followed, and Yang stopped occasionally, with one hand on his waist, and the other hand gestures for people to adjust the position of the flower pot, and shouted in a hurry. The old lady was not idle either. Sometimes this sentence and that sentence contradicted Yang's, making the people at a loss what to do.

Yang frowned: "Don't put this potted flower, it's all wilting."

The old lady pointed: "I told you to use potted flowers, so I can't keep them for an hour."

Yang is impatient: "Mother, what's the use of these now? You can change a pot as soon as possible."

The old lady continued to mutter: "You can't speak so loudly tomorrow. Now those ladies are noble. If you think you are a bad mother-in-law, no one will want your daughter to marry."

Yang waved his hand: "Everyone understands who I am, and it's boring to pretend. This flower party is a group of children who come to play, see who is pleasing to each other, and not what flowers to choose. They look down on me, but I still watch. Not on them."

The old lady was a little angry: "Why don't you listen to persuasion? Look at other people's houses. The mother-in-law speaks but the daughter-in-law doesn't listen."

The Yang family was a little anxious: "Mother, why don't I listen to you? It's really too late to change the potted plants. At the beginning, I couldn't buy so many potted plants to use the flowers..."

The old lady was also anxious: "It's too late, can you speak quietly tomorrow?"

Yang frowned: "I will try my best, then tomorrow you will talk to those ladies more and I will show up less"

The old lady pointed to Yang's: "You are still disobedient!"

Shen Xiang ran over there and shouted: "Mother! I knocked down the third brother today!"

Behind Shen Zhuo strode angrily and followed: "Mother! Not at all! I deliberately sat down and let her go!"

Shen Xiang turned his head and said, "No! I knocked you down!"

Shen Zhuo replied: "No!"

Shen Xiang stopped: "It's down!"

Shen Zhuo would never admit it in front of his mother, grandmother and a large group of subordinates: "Just no! You are talking nonsense!"

Shen Xiang was anxious, and turned to Shen Zhuo: "You don't admit it!"

The two wrestled together, mixed with fists and kicks. Shen Xiang is eight years old and he is tall and sturdy. Shen Zhuo is eleven years old. Although he is a boy and also practicing martial arts, he is thin, like a small bean sprouts, in front of everyone. After all, he can’t let go of his hands and feet. In a defensive state, the two were stuck together for a while.

Yang yelled: "San Lang! Do you still look like an older brother! How can you fight your younger sister?"

Shen Zhuo said: "She wants to practice martial arts, so naturally she wants to fight..." She stumbled and twisted Shen Xiang to the ground. Shen Xiang finally won with skill in the martial arts field. Now he lost in front of so many people. His face flushed for a while, and he jumped up with a shout, and continued to fight with Shen Zhuo without paying attention to anything. If you have a trick, just beat it like a normal child.

Yang yelled a few more words to see if they didn't listen, sighed loudly, and led the crowd to bypass them and continue the inspection. The old lady also shook her head, dragged Shen Wen to follow, and whispered: "My daughter is the best, and I can't fight like this in the future."

The Yang turned his head and said, "Mother, they will be able to fight like this in the future."

The old lady snorted: "You only know that you are screaming at me. They have learned from you, so they are so disobedient..."

The two people quarreled as they walked, and Shen Wen turned to look at Shen Xiang and Shen Zhuo in the distance, where they were still pushing and shoving the ground. Thinking of the past life because of the small hoops that often broke out in the Hou Mansion, tomorrow she saw those civil servants and ladies who were helped in by maids, weak willows supporting the wind, and walking slowly and elegantly, she developed a strong sense of inferiority, and she felt that Hou had a strong sense of inferiority. The government is inferior to others.

In this era, the imperial court favored civil affairs over military affairs, and the civilian officials had no say in the decisions of ordinary national affairs. Even after the military attaches fought on the battlefield, the final rewards and punishments were decided by the civilian officials. Normally, there is a clear difference between the styles of civil servants and military attachés. As far as manners are concerned, in the civil servants camp, not only are there maids around the lady who are supporting her to walk, she also pays attention to the skirts that can't rise and fall, even when those civil servants are walking outside, there must be two beautiful maids holding them, taking a slow step. Only after walking in one step does it appear graceful. The military attache himself walked independently without style, and even the women in the family walked like flying, which made the families of the civilian officials look down on them very much. Most civil servants were promoted through imperial examinations. Naturally, their homes emphasized poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, while military officials talked about future battles, father and son soldiers, and they wanted to practice martial arts from an early age. The two imperial courts met, and the military attache's actions and words seemed rough and rude. It's a pity that civilian officials are not on the battlefield, so the military attache can't find a place back, so he can only curse privately.

The flower fair held in the military attache’s mansion is only third-rate in the capital, and the families of ordinary civilian officials will not patronize it. It's just that Zhenbeihou is now holding a heavy army. He is the first military commander in the imperial court. The Huahui of the Hou Mansion will naturally attract some civil servants' wives.

Because tomorrow is the flower meeting, Yang told Shen Wen's maid to let Shen Wen go to bed early, but Shen Wen once again confirmed the six sachets she had prepared for the next day.

The nurse He watched Shen Wen carefully checking whether the edges of the jewels and sachets were sewn tightly. She took the thread in her hand, and in some places, she sewed it several times to make the messy stitches more prominent, but it was really knotted. It’s sturdy, and I can’t help but smile and say, “Why don’t the little lady let the maid do it yourself, so why do you do it yourself?” Isn’t this a waste of things, such a good baby with such an ugly sachet, the craftsmanship of the maids must be much better than Shen Wen? , When the time comes, people will not be unable to take it out.

Shen Wen said earnestly: "Mother said that I have the intention to do it by myself. I made these for my brothers, sisters and friends."

He sighed, "You are still young and your eyes are weak. It's never too late to do it in two years." Wait for your craft to get better.

Shen Wen smiled: "I know I don't embroider well, so I put such good jewelry outside, so they won't throw it away. Moreover, if I make it like this, they will remember that I am six years old in the future. For them. Don’t let people take it away."

He nodded again and again: "Okay, there are six in total. I'll let Xia Hong collect it, 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 what I will give to my brother and sister tomorrow. Don't mix with these two green sachets." Xia Hong gave a hmm and packed the sachets. Xia Hong is thirteen years old, and she is not someone who will marry Shen Wen in the future. Shen Wen's memory of her is very vague, only that she has very few words, most of the time she is silent.

Shen Wen sighed in his heart: She has no one now. This maid will not stay for a long time, and the He family is a soft temper. Seeing that they love to cry, the other maids don't usually get close to them. Since I want to pretend to be weak, I can't take a posture to subdue other people. Moreover, Zhenbeihou was on the border, and the old mother and his wife were in the middle of Beijing. She said that it was not a hostage who believed that the emperor’s eyes were full of the emperor’s eyes. She knew that many people who would co-exist and die with the Hou Mansion in the future were too young or did not show up, she could only wait.
