[Comprehensive] Daji's Raiders

In the XX year of Kangxi, the emperor passed away, and the crown prince Yinfeng came to the throne with the title of Gonghe.

Too many things happened in the court this year. The whole country kept filial piety for the former emperor, and they had to prepare for the new emperor's ascension to the throne. All the officials, ministers, and factions had a big review. When everything was almost completed, it was time. the end of the year.

Although the fourth elder brother is nominally relying on the prince, but when the princes made various efforts to abolish the prince, they also thought about it. How could such a shrewd person as the prince not know.

It's just that the fourth elder brother didn't do any serious disasters, and he helped himself in many things, so after rectifying the eldest elder brother and his ilk, Yinfeng named the fourth elder brother Prince He Shuoyong, and the thirteenth elder brother Brother and Prince Shuoyi served as Minister of State together, handling important affairs.

The fourth elder brother has won the important task of the emperor. Although he is unwilling, the matter is a foregone conclusion, so he can only put away his irrational thoughts and work hard to solve the emperor's worries.

Yinzhen didn't reach the top position, and he didn't need to be drafted every three years to expand the harem. He put all his thoughts on work, and without the trouble of passing on the throne, it didn't matter how many women entered the harem.Besides, in order to avoid suspicion, Yinzhen can't marry a woman whose father and brother have made great achievements in politics, and Shulan's management work is much easier.

Li Ruan and Ma Yunyun lost their cultivation and space, lost Yinzhen's love, and lost the opportunity to be the Queen Mother. Even if they were not reconciled, they could only stay peacefully in the backyard, hoping that their children would be successful. Fight for face in the future.

In the fifth year of Gonghe, Shu Lan was seriously ill. Before she died, she wanted to see her son get married and start a career. Therefore, the emperor bestowed a marriage on her and married Tong Jia's family.One year after Honghui's wedding, Shu Lan died of illness, and everyone in Prince Yong's residence wore plain clothes.

On the day of the funeral, Prince Yong's mansion kept crying, and the scene was blank.

When the hostess passed away, the affairs of the palace fell to Honghui Fujin Tong Jia's head. Because Shulan spent a year getting her used to the various affairs of the palace, she was not so flustered when it came time to take over.

At night, the lights around the palace are still brightly lit, Yinzhen is missing his dead wife, and Honghui, accompanied by his wife, misses his mother who treated him well since he was a child.I don't mention how Yinzhen's concubine thinks about Fujin's death, just mention Nian Zhixuan, because Shulan's departure was very sad for a while.

Nian Zhixuan has now given birth to two sons and a daughter, her father and elder brother are promising, and Yinzhen dotes on her, she has lived comfortably in the mansion these years, and she is also on good terms with Shulan.Now that Shu Lan has left, it is inevitable that I feel sad for a while.

Shu Lan floated in the sky above the palace, watching everyone in the palace be happy or sad for her death, she looked up to the sky and sighed.

Honghui was finally able to be independent, and Shulan finished the only concern, looked at the world trapped by the four corners of the roof again, turned around and flew towards the vast night sky.

She is free at last!

Shu Lan Xiuxian, her appearance could be maintained, but in order to live freely in the future, she began to make subtle changes on her face after the crown prince ascended the throne, modifying a few details year by year, and gradually getting older until she began to "sick" and her appearance became more beautiful. It is old and haggard.

Now that she has left the backyard that has trapped her for more than ten years, these decorations are no longer needed, and the old wrinkles have been erased, and she has suddenly become a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.Even if acquaintances such as Yinzhen and Honghui stood in front of her, they would never dare to recognize her as Prince Fujin, the age difference was too great.

Shu Lan, who was freed, suddenly had free time. She didn't know what she could do, so she wandered around the capital for half a month, and finally disguised herself as a man and formed a caravan to travel north and south with her.

Shu Lan realized her dream of living freely, and met a small businessman who just started his business on the way out. Although he was not a gentleman like jade, a hero in a prosperous age, he had a good character and a good temper. Be honest, don't make promises easily, and will never go back on what you promise.

The two partnered to run their own clothing store, not to mention rich and powerful, but they were also happy and at ease.

One day, Shulan was checking the goods at the clothing store, and the shopkeeper held a notebook in his hand and read it to her one by one. Suddenly, the clerk in front ran over to Shulan and said, "Madam proprietress, there is a customer coming in front. She makes western dresses."

Under the influence of Kangxi, Yinreng was very interested in Western culture, so he agreed with the policy of opening up the country to exchange what is needed.Nowadays, shops in the capital have more or less two imported items, and having imported goods has become popular among the noble ladies in the capital.Shu Lan saw that this matter had great business opportunities, so she discussed with her husband and formed a caravan with friends, and the imported products were renewed every six months.

Because Shu Lan has a unique vision and can always grasp the psychology of customers in terms of aesthetics, her unexpected shop is very popular in the city.

It's not unheard of to fight for a piece of clothing like this, so this time Shu Lan didn't have any special reaction, she just signaled the shopkeeper to go out and have a look.

After a while, the shopkeeper came in and looked at Shu Lan with some hesitation.

"What's wrong? The matter is not resolved?"

"Miss Boss, this guest has a lot of background, and he specifically asked you to come over."

"I?"

Shu Lan was suspicious, if it was for the business, the shopkeeper would have done it, so why did she choose to find her.

When Shu Lan lifted the curtain of the back door of the store and came out, she immediately saw a middle-aged woman sitting on a shelf in front of the counter.

It was Li Rou!

"It's really you!"

If Shu Lan remembers correctly, Li Rou is about 40 years old this year, but half of her black hair is white, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes can kill a mosquito.Although I try to dress dignifiedly and elegantly, after all, I'm old and I don't maintain it well.The advantages of gentle and pleasant facial features in youth have all turned into disadvantages in middle age.

Seeing the young and beautiful Shu Lan coming out wearing a turquoise flag dress, Li Rou recognized her immediately.

Although the ages were not right, Li Rou was sure it was her.

At that time Li Rou had doubted Shu Lan's identity, but she didn't see any special actions from her later, and when Ma Yunyun came, Li Rou gradually ignored it.

Li Rou's eldest daughter is already engaged, and today she went out to buy clothes with her, when she saw a very familiar figure from a distance, Li Rou rushed over with her daughter.

Unexpectedly, it was Shu Lan.

Shu Lan looked back at Li Rou in front of her with a calm gaze, and said, "The western dress shop that the customer wanted has been sold out, but we can write down your name and address, and we will be the first to notify you when the new stock arrives."

"In this case, why don't we go inside and talk."

Li Rou glanced around, Shu Lan saw that she would not give up until she reached her goal today, so she nodded and said, "That's fine."

After dismissing other idlers, only Li Rou and Shu Lan were left in the room. Li Rou said bluntly: "Let's be honest and honest, and don't try to deceive anyone. I know you are Sifu Jin, but I am very surprised why you are here ?”

Shu Lan smiled and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about. If a guest wants something, just let the shopkeeper know, and we will try our best to make it for you if we can."

"Stop pretending, I know you are a lonely soul from another world just like me. I just..."

"Not reconciled?"

Shu Lan smiled lightly, she could understand Li Rou's mood.If the two had once stood on the same starting line, but now Shu Lan had left her far away.A woman may be able to forget the dream of freedom under the ravages of time and surrender to reality.But when she saw people like herself in the past standing in a vast place that she couldn't reach, living a free life, the unwillingness hidden in her heart bubbled up one after another like bubbles.

How can you be willing?

One is old and fading, the other is still young and beautiful;

One is locked in a deep house and doesn't like it and still has to look forward to her husband's occasional pity, and the other is running in the free sky to have a new marriage;

A past that regrets and misses every day, a smile that cherishes the present life...

No matter how you compare, Li Rou is not reconciled.

"It's no use not being reconciled. The life you choose yourself has to be borne by yourself. Such a big opportunity is in front of you, and you haven't seen you take advantage of it. It's too late to be reconciled."

Shu Lan sneered.

"you know!"

Li Rou's eyes widened. Shu Lan actually knew her secret, so is it related to her that her baby disappeared?

"You think of me as God, who has the leisure to meddle in your business."

As soon as Shu Lan commanded Li Rou, who rushed forward to fight, she looked at her with disgust: "Okay, if you don't do business, just leave quickly, I'm still busy."

Using means to paralyze Li Rou's nerves of action, he pointed his fingers and poked Li Rou's eyebrows: "When you walk out of this door, you will forget that you have seen me."

After dismissing Li Rou, Shu Lan returned to her peaceful life.

It's just that no matter how happy a life is, there will eventually be an end. Even though Shu Lan has practiced spells, it can't prevent her from facing death just like ordinary people.

Shu Lan was 99 years old when she died, with a lot of children and grandchildren.Although I wonder why I can't prolong my life in cultivation, but I can live the life I want in ancient times, and there is nothing to regret.

"Am I going to reincarnate?"

Shu Lan's light and transparent soul looked at the little fox that suddenly appeared in front of her, and asked it aloud.

The graceful tail behind the little fox flicked suddenly, and a burst of white light enveloped its whole body, and then the light stretched, gradually dissipated, and a seductive and charming beauty appeared in front of Shu Lan.

"You...you are..."

Shu Lan was suddenly at a loss for words, and her mind went blank. After an unknown period of time, the memory before the time travel suddenly flooded her mind.

Her husband had an affair, but she endured it for more than 20 years in order to preserve the integrity of the family and provide a healthy family life for her children.After the child got married, because of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she became a person again. Shu Lan often wondered whether the years of forbearance and sacrifice were worth it.

Su Daji appeared when a strong desire burst out in her heart.

"What we are doing is a transaction. I fulfilled your dream for you, and now I want to get a reward."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Do you know the person who made a deal with me before you? I gave her the same chance as you, but she told me to live an ordinary life with great cultivation resources. Then I went into the palace and competed with a bunch of women to be jealous, and my cultivation base didn't improve at all. When I get the reward, she won't be able to give anything except her soul."

The woman in front of her seemed to be talking about a particularly interesting thing, and told Shu Lan lightly how she ate the man's soul.

"You want... my soul?"

Shu Lan was terrified, she had already lived for more than 100 years, but facing this enchanting and excessive woman, even though she kept laughing, her soul trembled from fear.

"No, apart from your soul, you still have cultivation. So, you have two choices, give me your cultivation, and I will send you back to your original world; or, you choose to give me your soul."

After Daji finished speaking, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a happy smile.

"Although I really want your soul, I respect the customer's choice."

Shu Lan clutched her chest, wondering if she should be thankful or not.

"As a reward, please don't eat my soul."

Shu Lan suddenly rejoiced that she did not guard the fourth elder brother wholeheartedly, she really lived for herself once.

Seeing Daji wave her hand, Shu Lan's eyes went dark, her whole body throbbed with pain, she felt something pulled out of her body, the process was very slow, the pain saw through flesh and blood like silk threads, torturing her bit by bit.

After an unknown amount of time, Shu Lan opened her eyes from the aftertaste of pain. The white ceiling and the sound of running water from the nearby water pipe rushed into her ears.Shu Lan was lying on the slippery floor, trying to sit up with her hands up.

She remembered that Su Daji promised to let her come back, why not her apartment for the elderly?

Shu Lan was in a daze when suddenly a child's cry came from beside her ear.

child?How can there be a child crying? Since Lele got married, she lives alone and has been lonely for a long time.

Shu Lan got up immediately, and the square mirror opposite the bathroom clearly reflected her young and haggard cheeks.

Running out of the bathroom, the five-year-old son fell off the bed and cried loudly.

"Lele, what's the matter?"

Shu Lan ran over to pick up her son, "Does it hurt from the fall? Mom rubs it for you."

After finally coaxing her son well, Shu Lan started to tidy up the messy home.Now is the seventh year of her marriage, people say the seven-year itch, she really can't escape it.In this year, the husband broke the news about his illegitimate child. The father-in-law and mother-in-law protected their son and asked her to be more magnanimous and keep her status as a wife. The husband is doing big things, and socializing outside is inevitable. Seduced by a vixen, as long as she is virtuous, her husband will feel guilty sooner or later.

Guilt?

What is the use of her guilt?

But everyone persuaded her that it's nothing for a man to be promiscuous, as long as he doesn't get a divorce, it means that he still has you as his wife in his heart.A second-married woman is trash, and she can't find a good man after divorce.

However, is the value of her entire life reflected in "men want"?

The method of self-cultivation suddenly flashed in her mind, Shu Lan burst into tears of joy, knelt down on the ground and thanked the sky: "Thank you very much."

Thank you for not eating my soul, thank you for giving me a different experience, thank you for giving me a chance to do it all over again.

If Shu Lan was still the same many years ago, she would have sacrificed for everyone, but now she won't.

The child is not an excuse for her to sacrifice herself, she is herself. If she can't dedicate herself once in this life, what right does she have to live in this world.

The author has something to say:

I have been thinking about those people who want their mothers not to divorce their husbands for their children's infidelity and choose to forbear, have they ever thought that after more than ten years, their children will get married and start a new family, and they will not be free when they are busy with their careers? , How would mother live at that time?
