Fang is old and has a long night, and is satisfied with people with one heart and one dream.

The rank of the six-rank official is not high, and it is better to pick up the name of a Beijing official, and the decency that should be on the table is readily available. Shen Changhuan is the first-born daughter and the eldest daughter, such an identity should always be the highest quality education in the family, so that in the future, no matter how good it is, whether it is appearance, demeanor, or conduct and knowledge, it can be taken out and become a living signboard of the family.

Girls who grow up in such an environment often have the pride brought by the main family, but also because the family is not high, there is a kind of weak gossamer and can not get rid of the loss, especially a pair of noble girls from the high family of the previous family, if they do not know how to be satisfied, and strive to resolve themselves, this loss is more likely to evolve into inferiority, and it is increasingly mixed into an indescribable contradiction.

Shen Changhuan is a typical example.

Her mother, Cao, was an aunt and cousin when she was a child, and she married a wife, but she had no respect and no favor at all. In fact, for the women of the back house, a respect from her husband and her own children are enough to stand on the ground for a lifetime. However, before Shen Changhuan was a month old, he had a fat and sturdy eldest son in the family, and his biological mother was a very favored concubine and aunt who was hired from her hometown and was very favored.

Since he can remember, Shen Changhuan has not lacked the love of her parents, even her name is so gentle and affectionate, morning and evening together, happy for a long time, enough to see that when the eldest daughter was born, although there were many concubines in the backyard, the Cao family and his wife were still in good love.

It's just unfortunate that the younger brother who came out of the concubine soon got a cold, and there was no doctor for the medicine stone, and he died early. The concubine and aunt love their son deeply, mourning and crying day and night, and their bodies are also dragged down, and they will die in less than half a month. Changhuan's father buried his concubine's mother and son, and his face was blue for a few days, and he never said a word to his wife.

At that time, Shen Changhuan was still a baby and ignorant, but the dowry girl next to her mother kept it in mind, waiting for the eldest lady to slowly become sensible, so she found a gap from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that many years ago, her father wanted to break the kindness of the husband and wife for a concubine who died early and a concubine who did not understand the importance of life.

Shen Changhuan is a bit precocious, he can understand his mother's insinuations, and his heart is shrouded in haze. But when she thought of her own lintel, it was no match for the strict rules of the family, and everything had a fixed number of rules - in her own family, everyone's honor and disgrace were all her father's thoughts.

After measuring this clearly, looking at his mother's light breeze and thinking about the brocade clothes and jade food he enjoyed, Shen Changhuan retreated, and chose to forget after hearing it, and secretly swallowed it unwillingly.

The matter of the eldest son and the concubine was deadlocked for half a year, Cao listened to the persuasion of the mother who accompanied the room, insisted on sending porridge during the day every day, making soup at night, and offering clothes, shoes and socks made by himself every three or five days, put down things and left, never said much, and the rest of the energy was spent on doing his duty, taking care of the internal and external housework in an orderly manner, and the daughter was also taken care of exquisitely cute, well-behaved and sensible.

Changhuan's father loves the noble concubine of the childhood sweetheart, and attaches more importance to the reputation of the family, although he is angry with what his wife does, he can't stand his wife's silence, and he is even more unwilling to mess up the dignity of his concubine. In addition, Cao Shen, the wife of the Cao family, is both Changhuan's grandmother and aunt, and she can't see her daughter being wronged by her husband and concubine, so she often sends in to persuade her.

Under several considerations, when Changhuan staggered and learned to climb, his father rested in his mother's room again. Time passed, spring and autumn changed, when the eldest lady was almost two years old, Mrs. Cao was diagnosed with pregnancy again, conceived in October, gave birth to her eldest son.

In the following years, Shen Changhuan successively had many younger brothers and sisters, including siblings and sisters-in-law, and mother-in-law. In the same class, everyone said that this family is not close to each other, and everything is mediocre, but the prosperity of the children and grandchildren is also a good blessing.

When she was six years old, Cao Shen connected this little granddaughter, found a nurturing grandmother, and taught her to be demure and polite, gentle and generous, and became a commendable lady. Chang Huan knew the stakes and was extremely dedicated to listening to training and learning, and it was also at this time that the big girl who accompanied the marriage began to instigate, and she was also blocked back.

"My sister said these words to me, it seems that she is single-minded, and she can't see my mother aggrieved, but my mother endured the pain and endured it for several years before she got the good situation now, even if my sister doesn't understand her mind, why would she hurt her like this?" The young Changhuan stood in front of the desk, dressed as Yuxue cute, holding a lake pen in his hand, a little face was childish, but he spoke loudly.

The maid was adding oil and vinegar and playing heartily, and she was suddenly jammed, and she didn't know how to continue. On the contrary, Changhuan, as a childish daughter, didn't feel embarrassed at all when it came to the dispute between the inner house: "The eldest brother died young, the father was sad, the mother was the mother-in-law, she must also be sad, both of them were depressed, and it was not strange to have a misunderstanding, and the mother was not worried every day, how could it be worth the sister's resentment?" Not to mention that the father is the master, there is no reason for the next person to say that the master is not. Moreover, if I listen to my sister's instigation and get into trouble with my father, not only will I not be able to fight for anything for myself or my mother, but I will annoy my father, and I will also affect several younger brothers and sisters of my relatives. ”

The little child's eyes were clear, and he stared at the big girl who was already in a cold sweat: "My sister is my mother's dowry, I should respect it, even if my sister has the heart to be the person next to her father and becomes a concubine in the room, as long as I can keep my duty, I will treat each other politely." But you have a calculating heart and want to make us lose power, which is disloyal and unjust, and there is no reason to be tolerated again. ”

A one-sided crushing ended with the big girl being sold. In addition to the palpitations in Cao's heart, he was greatly surprised by his daughter's meticulous childhood, and he intended to cultivate it well, and it was more than enough to marry a high-ranking family in the future.

I never thought that once disaster came, the husband was imprisoned, and soon beheaded, the male members of the family were exiled to Liangzhou in Western Xinjiang over the age of twelve, the family property was confiscated, the house was sealed, the female dependents and children were left behind, and several young and beautiful concubines either fled in all directions, or filled into the teaching workshop. The Cao family lost their beloved son, and they still had to support their concubines and daughters, relying on a little help from their mother's family, and barely had a place to live.

Destiny is not merciful, soon Cao Shen died of illness, orphans and widows almost came to an end, Shen Changhuan became Shen Lizhi in the Leng Xiang Pavilion, and he had not yet adapted to this identity, and in a blink of an eye, he became "Sheng Lizhi", and then took another step, it was "Aunt Sheng" and "Sheng Tongfang".

If it is for the rest of his life, the pride and self-esteem of his children in Shen Changhuan's blood and blood, and the joy and happiness of the pearl in his palm, will turn into a dream and will never return.
