Chapter 2 Concubine Yun

As the saying goes , take a wife , take someone virtuous . Take a concubine , take someone beautiful .

When Shu Huan saw Concubine Yun , she really felt that her eyes became brighter . She had a beautiful , lucid and elegant face .

Her temperament was as gentle as water . On her hair was only a pearl hairpin and she was dressed in a smokey light green skirt lined with a white cloak .

It made her look all the more beautiful , like white lotus leaves that emerged from the water without a trace of dust .

And , like a clear spring in the mountains , she exuded a quiet and elegant charm . Her appearance was about seventy percent beautiful . Plus , with her gentle temperament , why would she need to be a concubine ?

She was more than qualified to become someone's wife !

Ill second young master was really lucky !

While Shu Huan was envious in her heart , she couldn't help but also let out a sigh of relief .

Before she time - traveled her appearance didn't lose to concubine Yun .

But she couldn't compare to this classical and gentle temperament .

She hadn't looked in the mirror yet and didn't know how she looked now , but she knew her own virtue .

Even if it wasn't like charcoal , even if it wasn't like the gentle look that men liked . With such a jade - looking beauty next to her , even if she got in front of that second young master and used all kind of beauty tricks , he wouldn't take a fancy on her .

That was great !

Although it was important to continue living , she wasn't willing to cross her bottom line and wasn't willing to roll in the sheets with a strange man .

While she was looking at concubine Yun , the other party was obviously also looking at her . It was just that the other party didn't do it as intensely as she did .

Concubine Yun only glanced at Shu Huan twice and then paid her respect , " Yan greets second young mistress . "

Her name is probably Yun Yan . Yan means lovely / sweet . The manner was graceful , elegant and natural .

It happened that Shu Huan was ignorant of these rules and etiquettes . She could be considered simply as a savage and wild person .

She smiled bitterly , " No need to be so polite . I asked you to come here only to ask for a favor from you . Can you let me see old madam ? "

Concubine Yun lowered her head slightly , " Big sister talking like this is regarding me as an outsider . In the future , if you need something , you can just directly tell people to order Yan . It's just , to see old madam , I have to send people to ask first . I am afraid that over there , they already started having their dinner and so we have to wait for a moment . "

While she was talking , she whispered to Huiyun to go check on the situation . Huiyun took the command and went .

Only Shu Huan and concubine Yun were left here . Concubine Yun maintained the correct attitude . She stood there respectfully ; Eyes looking at the nose , nose pointing at the mouth and the mouth pointing at the chest : look down and lower head

It was a bit awkward .

After all , they were complete strangers .

The attitude of the other party was also of customs which gave it an alienation feel . Shu Huan was also not someone who would get close to another upon meeting . She didn't know what to talk about with her . To overcome boredom , she looked at the scenery outside .

At this time , the sky had already darkened , but there were two lanterns hanging on the door in the courtyard . Because of this , she was able to see a small independent courtyard . At the three sides , houses surrounded it and made it look like a large yard . There were several plum trees planted and dotted with some stone plantains . Under the eaves , there were a few birds in a cage . Although the vat of lotus flowers was not particularly elegant , it was beautiful and secluded .

Speaking of which , it had been three days since she time - traveled to here . It was just that she hasn't gone outside . When she woke up early in the morning , she was taken out by people and didn't have time to look around . Now , looking at this courtyard full of ancient concept , she also liked it . She could only sigh secretly . If she hadn't time - traveled , she could come live at such a place to steal half a day of rest .

While she was talking , she saw a little maid ran out from the main house . She ran to concubine Yun and said , " Second young master refused to take the medicine and smashed the bowl . Big sister Qiaoyun is asking concubine Yun to come over and persuade second young master ! "

Concubine Yun hesitated and looked at Shu Huan . With her here , Shu Huan felt very awkward . She was eager for her to leave .

She quickly said , " Go , no need to worry about me . "

After this , concubine Yun pleaded her excuse and rushed over to the main house with that little maid .

No one would come guard her for the time being . Shu Huan looked around and wondered whether she should use this opportunity to escape .

If she was in the modern era , she wouldn't have hesitated . She would definitely escape !

It happened that she was in the ancient era now . She didn't know whether the outside world was peaceful or filled with trouble .

Moreover , she didn't have a penny on her . Even if she sneaked out , it would be like touching in the dark . Not to mention that she wouldn't be able to find a job in this kind of world where the man was supreme . She could be fooled by a kidnapper and be sold to a worse place . By then , no one would respond to her cries or screams .

The more she thought about it , the deeper she frowned . Shu Huan quickly dispelled the idea of escaping .

She sat again on the pile of straws and picked up the already cold Chinese steamed bread roll and continue to chew on it .

Have to be strong . Have to eat . Have to live on ...

She continued to hypnotize herself . After waiting for like an hour , she saw Huiyun return .

She saw her shook her head first and then apologize , " Old madam doesn't want to see you . She didn't even let me speak more than necessary and sent me back . "

Shu Huan was silent . She was already prepared for this answer and wasn't that disappointed .

Huiyun saw that she was silent and wanted to comfort her , but she didn't know how to . In the end , she retreated silently .

She was just about to lock the door when she heard the inner door being slammed .

She opened the door , " What else is there , second young mistress ? "

Even if the environment was very bad , she had to work hard to improve it . She couldn't let herself be treated unfairly and suffer grievances .

Shu Huan quickly said , " When the door is closed , the room is very dark . I want candles . "

Huiyun hesitated .

" What ? Are you still afraid that I will commit suicide ? Don't worry , no matter how stupid I am , I won't do such a thing . So painful ! "

" Second young mistress , wait for a moment . "

" Wait , I also want mosquito repellent incense ! "

" Mosquito - repellent incense ? "

" Those who repel insects and mosquitos . "

Huiyun nodded , " That is realgar incense . " She turned and wanted to leave .

" What should I do if I want to relieve myself at night ? "

Huiyun also frowned because of her many demands . After she went to get the bucket , she stood there waiting for her to continue asking for this and that .

Who would've thought that Shu Huan finished asking for her things ? Seeing that Huiyun didn't leave , Shu Huan was surprised and stared at Huiyun without saying a word .

Huiyun laughed , " Does second young mistress want more things ? "

" No. " It was just , she thought a bit and then said , feeling a bit embarrassed , " If it's not too troublesome , get a book for me , alright ? Don't bring those poetic ones . Bring me the recordings of dynasties or essays . "

She had slept enough during the day . Now , the night was long . She didn't know how she could kill time . Reading was the best choice and she could also learn more about this world .

After Huiyun heard these , she was surprised , " Second young mistress knows how to read ? "

Oops ! She forgot that for women in the ancient era , having no talent was a virtue . Moreover , the original owner of this body seemed to be born in a poor family . If she was literate , then it would be demonic strange . It was just , the words already came out of her mouth . It was difficult to take them back . It was also very inconve nient to pretend to be illiterate in the future .

Shu Huan could only brace herself and lie , " When I was young , I lived near an old teacher . Perhaps , it was fate , but he taught me how to read . However , it had been so long , I also had almost forgotten everything . I just want to take a book and see how much I still remember . "

Speaking these words slowly , her forehead was full of sweat .

However , she felt somewhat proud in her heart . This lie was so good . who would inquire about when you were young ! Even when the book was brought and she couldn't understand the words , she could say that she had forgotten them .

Huiyun didn't linger on this kind of thing . It was just that she had always been cautious . At this moment , she said with difficulty , " This slave doesn't know how to read and don't know which book second young mistress wants . Why don't I go ask second young master and let him pick one for you ? "
