Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

where?

Ji Wuyan's expression was slightly silent. This so-called place of origin could not be the house of the Shen family or Xu Siniang.It must be a more secretive, perhaps unknown origin.

Ji Wuyan shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it." She vaguely felt that this would be an extremely shocking answer, but when she looked at Shen Luoxin's expression, she was still calm and calm, like a sister looking at her own family. A sister who is very noisy on weekdays, but is extremely considerate at critical moments.

That look in his eyes was very good at comforting Shen Luoxin, who was still a little nervous during his hesitation.

She withdrew her gaze and stared at her toes, embroidering the uppers, the stitching was fine and beautiful, it was a simple intention that was not seen in that era.The ladies here always sit at the door with small baskets filled with needlework in the afternoons when the sun is shining, and they talk to each other about picking up shoe soles and embroidering handkerchiefs, living a leisurely and calm life.

For a period of time when she first came here, Shen Luoxin was envious of such a life. She even felt that God allowed her to come here just to make her become such a woman, an ordinary one among all living beings, just like the sea. A drop of water in it.But her mother happened to be Xu Siniang...a woman who was incompatible with this era, but unexpectedly fit in with her past self.

"I... come from another time and space." She said slowly. As she spoke, she looked at Ji Wuyan. Seeing the other person's rare surprised look, she smiled softly and explained, "That time and space Here, neither those at the top of the powerful nor ordinary people have the right to kill or hurt others at will. Girls there have many ways to change their destiny, unlike here, where birth determines destiny, and marriage is the only way to change destiny. Opportunities... In our place, women also need to study, work, and earn money. We create our own destiny with our own hands. There is nothing that our girls can't do that men can do, and we can even do better than them."

When she said these words, she looked at Ji Wuyan, but her eyes did not seem to fall on her, as if they had passed through the other person and landed in a more distant time and space.There, everything she said was there.

The eyes are longing and nostalgic.

That world was something Ji Wuyan had never heard of or seen before. The Ji family was headed by a woman. When she was young, her grandmother had a resolute and resolute attitude of rolling up her sleeves and doing whatever she asked. But even so, there was still a huge distance from the world Shen Luoxin spoke of. .

She should remain skeptical. Is there any other time and space in this world?But looking at Shen Luoxin's eyes at this moment, Ji Wuyan somehow believed it.She asked Shen Luoxin, "Then...how did you get here?"

Shen Luoxin shook his head, "I don't know... In that world, I was also doing the work of a 'worker'. Maybe I was too tired. I didn't wake up after I slept. I was born here, and I came to this place with everyone." The world is exactly the same. It’s just that maybe... I drank Meng Po soup diluted with water by the Naihe Bridge and remembered some memories of my past life." She downplayed "sudden death" and shrugged and chuckled, "These years , those memories are getting fainter, and sometimes when I dream back in the middle of the night, I feel that it might just be my dream..."

Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly. Who could tell whether the butterfly entered Zhuang Zhou's dream or Zhuang Zhou entered the butterfly's dream... She sighed sadly and was speechless for a long time.Ji Wuyan just tilted his head and looked at her quietly, waiting for her words. After a long while, he asked her again, "That world is so good...do you want to go back?" It sounds like that world has greater potential. Although I can't imagine such a grand scene of inclusiveness, I think there won't be so many people pointing fingers at it as a "仵aku".

"I thought about it in the early years." Shen Luoxin nodded and chuckled, looking at the square inch in front of him, "I have been remembering things since I was a child. The servants thought I didn't understand, and they didn't avoid me no matter what... About I heard about my mother's past from their mouths, and then I felt more and more unworthy of her. Yes, I became even more unhappy with him... that's me, my father. I even felt resentful towards this era. , thinking that when I grow up, I will find a way to leave... As long as I can come here, I can always go back." At that time, I seemed to have forgotten that my body in that time and space had already been digested and digested. A small handful of ashes in the urn.

"It's just that later, before I grew up, Xu Siniang took me away from the Shen family and found a secluded place to live together." She rubbed her toes with a gentle look in her eyes, "I just thought... no matter what No matter how men treat me, Xu Siniang treats me sincerely. She ignores everyone's objections and does not listen to all the pros and cons. She only takes care of me, a daughter who "doesn't understand anything", and at the same time works as an errand for the Yamen. She is much braver than I was back then... I admire her and want to stay with her for a few more years. When she doesn't need me anymore, I will find a way to leave... It's just..."

Just never again.

Ji Wuyan understood the meaning of the silence from the other party's unfinished words and gentle eyebrows.

Shen Luoxin was worried that after she left, Xu Siniang would have to face all the cynicism alone. She was even more worried that her departure would add a definition of "failure" to her as a mother, so she thought about waiting. Waiting, waiting, those thoughts of leaving gradually faded away as they were delayed again and again.

What's more, maybe there is no way to leave. After all, the other world is already a lifetime ago. It may be true as she said. She just drank a bowl of Meng Po soup mixed with water by the Naihe Bridge and left a few points behind. Just memory.

How can people... how can they go back to their previous life?

"Now that the intention of leaving has faded, just stay." Ji Wuyan reached out and touched her head, comforting her like the lonely wind soothing her frightened dreams, "Now, you not only have Xu Siniang, but also me and Ji Wuyan. Feng, Mr. Chen, and the family members we have never met in Zhuangzi, Yunzhou, Jiangnan. It doesn’t matter where we come from... We will meet many people, coming from different places, but we will go together and go to the same place. The future...this is worth cherishing."

Shen Luoxin still lowered his eyebrows slightly and murmured softly, "I know...but, Wu Yan, what I want to say is...that person, I once felt that he doted on his concubines, destroyed his wife, and treated his legitimate daughter harshly and only doted on him." The concubine is simply blind-eyed and blind-hearted. I even secretly swore that whether he ends up with a glorious family or a poor man, it has nothing to do with me... Since he ignores me, then I don’t have him as a father. I just rely on myself for everything. ,it's nothing……"
