Eighteen-year-old Zhou Chujin almost fainted when he heard this.

Although Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the Cheng family, died of illness ten years ago, his protégés were all over the government and the opposition, and Yu Wei was still there; Cheng Jing, the eldest man of the long house, is ranked as Xiao Jiuqing, and he is only one step away from being sealed to worship the pavilion; Cheng Xu for the long room, Cheng Zhi for the second room, Cheng Cheng for the third room, and Cheng He for the fourth room...... are all seeds of reading, or they have been admitted to the show, or they are famous, which one is not a handsome man? How can you say that you will destroy your family?

She was terrified, and she endured it so that she didn't cover her sister's mouth.

Could it be that the fall by the lake went wrong?

Otherwise, how could my sister, who has always been well-behaved and docile, talk nonsense?

Zhou Chujin was so frightened that his heart was pounding, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face. Not only that, but he also comforted his sister softly: "It's okay, it's okay, you just had a nightmare!" ”

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

She depended on each other for her life, and her close sister didn't believe her...... And told her with a smile that she just had a nightmare!

How can dreams be so real?

Zhou Shaojin didn't believe it.

She hurriedly talked to her sister about the details of her life, but her sister took her hand with red eyes and said bitterly: "I know, I know." You're right. It's just that it's not too early, and you're going to rest. Wait until tomorrow morning, my sister will listen to you again, okay? ”

The perfunctory, soothing taste is so obvious.

Zhou Shaojin's heart sank.

She didn't know how to face such a sister, so she had to look out the window as if she was running away.

It was dusk, and the sunset had turned the yard a warm orange. A few little maids who were still in the main corner kicked the shuttlecock in the yard, and their laughter echoed briskly in the yard like silver bells. Du Pozi, who was on an errand on the stove, smiled and carried the food box through the middle of the yard, and the little maids almost hit her. Mrs. Zhao, who was sweeping the floor, didn't know where to pull it out, and while pulling up her sleeves, she scolded a few little maids loudly. The little maidens nodded in fright and bent over, begging for mercy in a hurry. Mrs. Du is a good person, standing in front of a few little maids and saying good things for them.

The vines have grown tender leaves, the roses in the corner of the wall are in full swing, and the magnolia flowers at the mouth of the bowl are as white as jade, scattered on the tall magnolia trees.

If this is an illusion, then what is it?

Zhou Shaojin's heart was cold.

Could it be that I am wrong?

Looking at her sister, who was anxious but still seemed to be stable, Zhou Shaojin suddenly didn't dare to decide whether she had a nightmare as her sister said or lived again as she thought.

Zhou Chujin personally helped her sister adjust the pillow, helped Zhou Shaojin lie down, and said, "Well, my sister is here to accompany you." You close your eyes and sleep, and you wake up and everything is fine. ”

At the end of the day, I still don't believe her.

Zhou Shaojin was in a mixed mood.

Maybe my sister is right!

She comforted herself and closed her eyes.

In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a nightmare.

The sister who slept next to her immediately got up, hugged her tightly in her arms, gently patted her back, and said softly: "Good, it's okay, it's okay." My sister is by your side! ”

Zhou Shaojin was covered in sweat and wanted to say something to her sister, but when she raised her eyes, she found a trace of horror in her sister's eyes.

My sister is just an eighteen-year-old girl, and she lives alone with her young sister, and there are times when she panics and worries and is afraid!

Zhou Shaojin was stunned, and for the first time realized that her omnipotent and invincible sister was just an ordinary girl, and there were times when she needed someone to protect and rely on.

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she finally pursed them tightly together, saying nothing.

The next morning, Zhou Chujin left Zhou Shaojin in the house and went to her grandmother, Mrs. Guan.

Soon, the news of Zhou Shaojin's illness came out of the upper room, and Zhou Niangzi, who was sick for the Cheng family's daughter, was invited into the house, Wan Xiangju began to waft out the smell of herbs, and the housekeeper of the inner courtyard of the Zhou family, Ma Fushan's family, also rushed over, and after whispering with Zhou Chujin, she quietly went to several incense and prestigious Zen temples and Taoist temples in Jinling City, not only for Zhou Shaojin to ask for runic water and a yellow table of divine fragrance.

Zhou Chujin left Ma Fushan's family to spend the night in the courtyard.

In the middle of the night, they got up and burned their yellow watches.

Zhou Shaojin, who was awakened by the nightmare, stood in front of the window, quietly watched the flames go from bright to silent, turned to bed and closed his eyes.

That's it, right?

Why quarrel with my sister for such a thing, make my sister worry and fear, and ruin the friendship of sisters.

But every time she was frightened by nightmares in the dead of night, she couldn't help but think: If her experiences were true, then the Cheng family would be wiped out, grandmother, uncle, cousin, and even those maids and mothers-in-law who served her would be her errand steward, and every Cheng family member she knew would die!

Is it that she also pretends to know nothing with her heartfold?

Grandmother's nurturing grace, sister's flesh and blood affection, uncle's righteous words, and aunt, cousin, cousin's kindness to her, is she all put aside and don't care about it?

Zhou Shaojin felt panicked and creepy when he thought about it, and he was so scared that he couldn't close his eyes anymore.

She decided to find out the truth of the matter, so that she could look around her sister behind her back.

It's just that I didn't expect that my silence did not exchange for my sister's peace of mind, my sister actually went to the Zen temple to pray for her to worship the Buddha for her without telling her grandmother, she was moved and sad, but more than happy.

Fortunately, she didn't insist in front of her sister that she was reborn, otherwise her sister who thought she had fallen into evil might not be sad, sad and desperate?

She couldn't help but sigh softly, and suddenly she had an idea.

Since she didn't want to have a conflict with her sister, and she was afraid that she would lose the opportunity to save the Cheng family, why not quietly find out whether she had a nightmare or a new life?

If everything she knows has happened, it doesn't prove that she has lived a new life. Conversely, if nothing she knew had happened, wouldn't that prove that she was just having a nightmare?

Zhou Shaojin's eyes suddenly lit up.

She is now twelve years old...... So what happened to her when she was twelve?

Zhou Shaojin fell into deep thought.

In June, it seemed that Cheng Cheng passed the college examination with a sixth-place score and obtained the qualification for the gift...... In August, my father was suddenly promoted to the prefect of Baoding. Although they are all four products, they are all prefects, but Baoding Mansion belongs to the North Zhili, is the only way to go south in the capital, as long as there is no mistake, the promotion is just around the corner, and the uncle and grandmother are very happy...... Later, my grandmother celebrated her 56th birthday, and Cheng Lu's mother, Dong, came to pay her birthday and took her hand in front of several old ladies of the Cheng family, praising her for being docile and humble, and IKEA and IKEA. Cheng Ji also joked about this, saying that he was younger than her, but his heart was more anxious than her, and he was worried about getting married at a young age......

Thinking of Cheng Ji, a face flashed in her mind, and Zhou Shaojin sat up in shock.

How could she forget such a person and such a thing?

April 12 of this year is the 80th birthday of Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second room of the Cheng family. The Cheng family did a big deal for this. Not only invited relatives and friends of the Cheng family, but also invited some protégés and family friends, and even the first assistant of the cabinet in Kyoto, Wenyuandian University, and Yuan Weichang, the secretary of the ministry, sent his eldest son to send birthday gifts.

The first time Wu Baozhang appeared in the Cheng family was on the eve of the ancestor's birthday!

Zhou Shaojin's face sank like water, and his hands couldn't help but be tightly twisted together.

Wu Baozhang's father, Wu Xiu, was appointed as the prefect of Jinling in September of the 17th year of Zhide. It's just that Jinling is known as "the beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial continent of Jinling", and its geographical location is very important. Wu Xiu came from a humble background, except for an uncle Lang who worked in the Ministry of Industry, he did not have any strong support in the court, but he got the post of Jinling prefect by chance. As the parent official of Jinling, he has a hereditary repudiation and guards Jinling's grandfather, and there are family officials who have been feudal officials or Confucian scholars, prominent and famous families, and his background is not simple, and he is bent on his subordinate, Jiangning County Commander Liu Mingju.

He didn't dare to offend any of them, and he couldn't afford to provoke any of them.

It's a tough situation.

In order to keep the position of prefect, after the Spring Festival, the Wu couple began to frequently go in and out of the high-ranking families in Jinling City. In order to enter the Cheng family, Wu Baozhang's stepmother Guan Shi, after hearing that Mrs. Guan had the same surname as her, she even climbed Mrs. Guan as her "aunt" and began to walk around with the Cheng family.

When Mrs. Wu brought Wu Baozhang to her home as a guest, her grandmother asked her and her sister to come out to meet the guests.

Counting the days, it should be this time.

Zhou Shaojin bit his lip and shouted "Shi Xiang".

I didn't sleep for most of the night last night, Shi Xiang was leaning on the doorpost of the hall and dozing, and immediately ran in when she heard the shouting.

"Second Miss, you're awake!" She smiled and rolled up the curtain and said, "I'll serve you to freshen up, right?" In the kitchen, I made your favorite crystal cake and assorted tofu scoop today, and I asked the little maids to bring breakfast, right? ”

Zhou Shaojin turned a deaf ear and said, "What day is today?" ”

Shi Xiang was slightly stunned and said busily: "Today is March 24th. ”

In other words, there are still twenty days before the birthday of the ancestors.

But when Wu Baozhang came to the house as a guest, Zhou Shaojin had no impression at all.

She only remembered that Wu Baozhang was of medium stature, with a round face, fair skin, big eyes, willow eyebrows, and a cinnabar mole the size of a grain of rice between her eyebrows.

Zhou Shaojin saw a person with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows for the first time in her life, and she was very curious, her eyes widened when the elders spoke, and she looked at Wu Baozhang from time to time.

Or feeling her gaze, Wu Baozhang turned his head and smiled at her, and spoke to her softly. When it came to the Dragon Boat Festival, she also sent her own hand-wrapped zongzi and embroidered five-poison sachets to her and her sister as a festival gift.

Gradually, they began to move around.

She felt that Wu Baozhang was not bad, so she introduced Wu Baozhang to Cheng Ji.

After that, Wu Baozhang began to enter and exit in the third room, and was favored by the second-room grandmother Zheng, with the name of virtuous and virtuous, and gained a firm foothold in the circle of ladies in Jinling......
