Every time this happened, she would suddenly wake up and realize that she was just a clown spying on them. She could only retreat silently and hide in a secluded place.
Another time, she saw the boy weaving a bamboo dragonfly and giving it to Shen Nanxing. She then went to find a piece of bamboo and wanted to weave a bamboo dragonfly, pretending that the boy had given it to her.
But no one taught her, so she tried many times by herself. The sharp bamboo strips scratched both of her hands, and blood was dripping. She finally managed to weave a strange creature that she could barely convince herself was a bamboo dragonfly.
That night, she slept with the bamboo dragonfly held close to her heart. That night, the young man appeared in her dream, looking at her and smiling gently: "Yier, this is a bamboo dragonfly I made myself. It's a gift to you!"
She heard clearly that he was calling Yier, not Nanxing!
She held the beautiful bamboo dragonfly in her palm like a treasure, lowered her head and blushed: "Thank you, Brother Yu, I like it very much."
She was so happy that she giggled in her sleep and woke herself up.
When she opened her eyes, it was already dawn outside the window. She raised the bamboo dragonfly in her hand and took a look. This was not the one that Brother Yu gave her. This one was so ugly...
Then she hid under the quilt and cried.
......
After about two years of this rat-like, peeping life, things took a turn for the better.
Shen Nanxing's grandfather died in the war.
That day, her father came to their courtyard happily and said that he would take them to the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion. From then on, she and her brother could call him father in front of outsiders.
My mother is no longer a concubine and can meet people with dignity.
She was so happy that day. From then on, she was the same as Shen Nanxing. She was also her father's daughter who could be seen in public, and she was also the lady of the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion!
She excitedly returned to her own courtyard to pack her things, then, carrying her small bag, followed her parents and brother and stepped into the vermilion gate of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion for the first time, outside which she had wandered countless times.
From now on, this will be her home.
The Nanyang Marquis's Mansion was very large. She only remembered walking a long way behind her parents. Whenever she met people dressed as maids or servants along the way, she would stop and salute them no matter what they were doing at the time.
She had never experienced such treatment before, and her face turned red with shyness.
It turns out that being a daughter of a marquis is so glorious!
They passed several rockery, streams, pavilions and towers, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard.
It was an independent house with three entrances and three exits. Dad said that it would be their family's residence in the future. She was given a small south-facing room. From the window, she could see the small pond in the yard and the big banyan tree beside the pond.
This courtyard is bigger than the small courtyard they lived in before, and the decorations inside are much better. All this makes Shen Zhiyi feel that his family has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
The day she moved in was her happiest day.
She was finally qualified to play with the boy like Shen Nanxing. Shen Nanxing was her sister, and if she begged her to take her along, she would definitely not refuse...
That day, she was smiling even in her dreams.
She dreamed that she, Shen Nanxing, and Brother Yu were playing together. Brother Yu always spoke to her gently, and everything given to Shen Nanxing also had a share for her. She no longer had to hide in the corner and peek...
But later she realized that there are differences between daughters.
For example, Shen Nanxing is the legitimate daughter, while she is the concubine's daughter.
There is also a difference between the mistress and concubine of a marquis's mansion.
For example, Shen Nanxing's mother is the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, and her mother is Concubine Qiu.
When her mother met Shen Nanxing's mother, she had to bow.
When she saw Shen Nanxing, she had to be respectful and even call Shen Nanxing's mother mother. She could no longer call her own mother mother as usual, but had to call her aunt instead.
