Chapter 2: The Future Regent
There were two horse-drawn carriages rushing back and forth on the flat official road, and a short distance away was the town.
"Miss, miss?"
A faint call seemed to come from afar, Shen Junru slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and what caught her eye was a childish face, dazed for a long time.
Suddenly raised his hand, ten slender fingers, and the nails were trimmed white and neat, what was going on?
She remembered that she had been tortured to protect the reputation of the Shen family and had ten fingernails removed, and Rao was born later, but it was also crooked and ugly.
Isn't she dead? How can you live again?
"Miss, there is a small town ahead, let's find an inn to rest for the night tonight, it's not safe to walk at night."
Shen Junru looked blankly at the big girl Dongmei in front of her, still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. The scene when Xiangmei crashed to death on the pillar in order to protect her flashed in her mind, and her heart ached. But there is also a faint kind of bold speculation in my heart.
She's reborn!
Reborn five years ago, on the way back to Beijing from my grandfather's house!
"Good..."
After a long time, she answered, leaned slightly against the wall of the car, raised her bare hand and lifted the curtain to look out.
The green mountains and green waters, the sun is shining, and it is full of vitality.
She was originally the daughter of the Shen Mansion, her father worshiped Shangshuling, entered the Shangshutai, and there were many disciples in the court, and she was a first-class aristocratic lady.
It's just that the word love is harmful to others, and she has fallen into the quagmire since the day she met Lin Liangyuan, harming herself and the Shen family.
In her previous life, when her mother suddenly fell seriously ill, she was also at her grandfather's house in Jiangnan. On her grandfather's birthday, A-Niang asked her to bring a congratulatory gift to her grandfather's house to celebrate her birthday. It's just that just after the birthday, bad news came from the capital.
The family closed her book and asked her to return to Beijing quickly, thinking that she would be able to see her mother for the last time.
I rushed back day and night, only to find that my mother's mourning hall had been removed, and the people had been buried in the ground three days before she returned.
She was so grief-stricken that she asked her father why he didn't wait for her to come back and bury her.
Aunt Yun used "the body is easy to rot in hot weather", so she hurriedly buried it.
A-Niang is a person who loves beauty, how can she endure the rancid smell of her body?
Since then, she has hated her father for not letting her mother on her last journey, and her father and younger brother have blamed her for returning too late, and the father and daughter siblings have gradually become estranged.
Now that I think about it, there are strange things in it.
Not to mention that although the mother was weak, the serious illness came too suddenly, and the doctor's words were not very clear. But as far as the letter is concerned, since she received the bad news and rushed back, the traffic on the road did not stop, and it only took seven days to rush back, which was half of the schedule. How could her father and Yu'er blame her for her late return until they died?
All of these seem to be wrong, but the possibility of man-made disasters can also be traced everywhere.
sighed slightly, and was reborn, after all, it was a pity that he failed to save his mother's life.
But for her, her mother has been dead for five years, and although she has relatives and is as dull and painful as a knife, she is not as grief-stricken as in her previous life, and she can't go with her.
She also knew that no matter how fast she was, she would not be able to rush back to send her mother on the last ride, leaving only a lacquered wooden tablet for her mother.
The carriage quickly arrived in the town, which was quite bustling and lively, and it was not difficult to find an inn.
"Miss, it's here, let's rest here tonight."
Shen Junru lifted the curtain and looked at the plaque on the door of the inn "Yuelai Inn", there were still a lot of people.
In her previous life, she was in a hurry to return to Beijing, and she rushed for several days without stopping, and when Dongmei proposed to rest for one night and then hurry, she did not agree, but asked the groom to speed up the journey and rush overnight.
took the hat and put it on, the white gauze covered the beautiful face, and Dongmei helped him get out of the carriage.
The road from Jiangnan to the capital is long and obstructive, and my grandfather is not worried about her, so he sent a few martial artists and mothers-in-law to accompany her, and there is no danger along the way.
The group entered the inn, and Xiao Er, who ran the hall, hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"How many distinguished guests, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
"I want two upper rooms, two bunks, and hot water to bring in."
Dongmei said and handed over the silver.
"Alas, ladies and gentlemen, please come with the little ones."
Before the second child's voice fell, suddenly a man's voice sounded.
"Little two, one upper room, one inferior room."
"This guest officer, it's really unfortunate that there are only two rooms left in our small shop, and they were all booked by that girl."
This is the best inn in town, and the other inns are full!
With his master's tortoise-haired temperament, I'm afraid he would rather not get off the carriage than settle.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiu was cheeky and humane with Shen Junru and others.
"Girl, it's a coincidence, the little one has a reluctant request, can you ask the girl to move a room to my master, my master is willing to pay double the price."
"You're really interesting, haven't you seen so many of us? How do you give it evenly? I think you'd better go to another inn as soon as possible, and maybe you can find it. ”
Dongmei put away the money bag, put it in the hidden pocket of her sleeve, and said unceremoniously.
Through the veil, Shen Junru raised her willow eyebrows slightly. She had seen him, he was the personal guard of the sixth prince Feng Min, and he had met several times in his previous life. Later, it was rumored that although Feng Ming did not ascend to the throne, he held great power, and the government and the opposition were the only ones who looked forward to him, and supported a puppet emperor, and his status also rose with the tide and became the capital of the Praetorian Guard.
The master in his mouth must be the regent who will be in power in the future.
She's really a lackey. luck, as soon as he was reborn, he met such a gold master.
Selling him a favor today will only be good.
"Let's get out of one room with this son, Dongmei, you and I in one room."
After the words fell, Shen Junru turned around and walked upstairs slowly, leaving only a beautiful shadow.
Li Xiu turned around and whispered a few words to the master in the carriage.
Then a slender and white finger opened the car curtain, and the phoenix eyes were slightly raised, glancing at the shadow that disappeared around the corner.
