Chapter 2: The Reborn Woman and the Crossing Woman
The laws of this world have become a sieve, constantly leaking out some strange things, and "crossing" and "rebirth" have become the most common things around us.
ββββExcerpt from "My Codex"
"Come, little brother, try the dim sum made by the second sister, it's delicious."
The cardamom girl in front of her is very beautiful, her skin is like exquisite white porcelain, a pair of autumn eyes look beautiful on that palm-sized face, she is very thin, and she looks even weaker against the backdrop of the light blue Confucian skirt, this is a very beautiful ancient little girl, but the plate of cream cake she is holding in her hand looks out of place.
Chu Lingfeng held chubby fingers, and his saliva was uncontrollable, he was only five years old, and he couldn't control his own saliva, and under the temptation of the creamy fragrance, his front placket was even soaked.
But even so, Chu Lingfeng didn't touch the cream cake, "But, second sister, the eldest sister said that if you don't let me eat what you gave the second sister, I will eat my stomach." β
The girl's face couldn't help but change, and before she could say anything, the curtain was lifted, and a large group of maids walked in with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.
The girl's appearance is not as beautiful as the girl's, at most she is delicate, but her whole body exudes a dignified and noble temperament.
"Big sister." Chu Lingfeng's eyes lit up, and he asked the little girl next to him to carry him off the stool, and pounced on the dignified girl with his little short legs, grabbing her skirt.
"Little brother, have you studied well with Mr.?" The girl took out a handkerchief, wiped the saliva off Chu Lingfeng's chubby face, and asked gently.
"Yes, the gentleman still praises me for being smart." Chu Lingfeng looked childish and proud.
"Don't be proud." The girl smiled and admonished.
"Nothing."
The dignified girl pulled Chu Lingfeng back to her seat, glanced at the "Three Character Classic" and a handwritten word on the desk, although she was still very immature, she could already see the appearance, and nodded with satisfaction, then she turned her gaze to the plate of cream cake, a trace of imperceptible hatred flashed in her eyes, and she slowly instructed the maid to put the things she brought into the small study.
After taking a sip of tea, the dignified girl, that is, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, Chu Shulan said lightly, "Minlan, you are a girl from Shangshu Mansion, even if you are a concubine, you shouldn't do what these subordinates do." β
The younger girl, that is, Chu Minlan, seemed to have been stabbed, and there was a touch of unwillingness in her eyes, but she pressed it down and smiled slightly: "Eldest sister, what I said is not right, the female red feed is something that girls must master, and Derong is one of the four virtues." β
"But we are noble women of the noble clan, different from the Hanmen." Chu Shulan just said lightly, which made the surrounding maids look at Chu Minlan with a hint of contempt in their eyes.
The noble daughters of the scholar clan are extremely noble, as for the friendship of the famous families of the scholar clan, only for the sake of being the housewife, only the poor women will abide by the "three obedience and four virtues" and learn the skills to please their husbands. The women of the noble tribe were proud, but they did not attach themselves to their husbands, but walked side by side with them.
This is what Chu Shulan remembered with blood and tears in her previous life. She will never make a mistake in this life.
A faint blankness appeared in Chu Minlan's eyes, which made Chu Shulan's eyes flash with hatred again, and motioned to the maid next to her to take away the cream cake in Chu Minlan's hand, Chu Shulan spoke again, "Aren't you relearning etiquette?" You can forget about the things you used to have, but etiquette is the style of a woman in a family, and it's really disappointing that you don't try to learn etiquette again, but you drill into a place like the kitchen. My mother is not in the house, but my eldest sister is my mother, so I will educate you on behalf of my mother. β
Standing up, Chu Shulan was not tall, but at this time there was an indescribable majesty, "Kneel!" β
A touch of humiliation appeared in Chu Minlan's eyes, but she still knelt down, and at this moment she felt as if the people around Chu Shulan were laughing at her.
"Reach out." Chu Shulan turned out to be handed over by the maid next to her, with a solemn face, "The etiquette and demeanor of the noble ladies of the scholar clan cannot be lost." β
The ring ruler knocked on Chu Minlan's white and delicate hands, and immediately left a few red marks, and Chu Minlan's eyes immediately turned red.
Chu Lingfeng tilted his head and looked at Chu Shulan with a puzzled face, because he caught a trace of hatred and madness in her eyes.
After ten strokes, Chu Shulan put away the ring ruler, glanced at Chu Minlan, who was unwilling, and smiled sarcastically: "From today on, you will learn etiquette in Wanshui Pavilion, when you will learn and when you will come out." By the way, didn't you say the other day that you wanted to learn to dance? In the afternoon, there will be a dancer to teach you, just entertain yourself, and don't lose the face of the Chu family on a formal occasion. β
Hearing the previous sentence, Chu Minlan was unwilling, but when it came to the latter sentence, the unwillingness on Chu Minlan's face turned into a daze.
Chu Shulan didn't explain, and directly asked the maid to take Chu Minlan down, and after dealing with the eyesore, Chu Shulan looked at Chu Lingfeng, who was sitting there with a puzzled expression, her eyes became very gentle, she gently rubbed Chu Lingfeng's head with her hand, and said, "Little brother, remember, in this family, you can only trust your mother and me, and the eldest sister will not hurt you." You must stay away from that Chu Minlan, you must not eat what he gives. Remember? β
"Remembered." Chu Lingfeng nodded ignorantly, although he didn't understand what was going on, he still chose to believe in his sibling sister, not only because they were the sister-in-law of the same mother, but also because of the "Chu Shulan (rebirth)" on Chu Shulan's head, and the second sister's head was "Chu Minlan (crossing)".
Although I don't know what this means, the words on the eldest sister's head have not changed since he was born, and the words on the second sister's head have changed a few months ago. After the change, the second sister is a little different from the second sister before.
Is it true that cream cakes can't be eaten, though? Chu Lingfeng grinned and drooled, a little regretful.
