Chapter 5
This action of hers caused the young man to laugh softly.The voice, which was in the period of changing voice, was a bit like a duck quacking when he laughed.

"It's nothing... came here to find a book to read, and just flipped through it..." Ding Ding stammered.Oh my god, this is an older brother, so don't doubt her!
"This one." Xu Dahong smiled, took down a book, and handed it to his sister, "In the future, don't pick it up by yourself, if you want to read any book, just mention it to Mingyan, he will help you find the book."

"When he saw me just now, it was like a mouse seeing a cat." Xu Manzhen—for convenience, let's call her that in the future—complained.Seeing Xu Dahong is like a puppy seeing its owner... Isn't this a bit too different?

"You can't blame him." Xu Dahong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Last time you burned a lot of books in the study because of his lack of service, which caused him to be severely taught by his father. Woolen cloth."

Burn books?Xu Manzhen thought about it, and it really was what the original Xu Manzhen did.Compared to what she threw away the book just now, she felt guilty after throwing it away!It's so childish!

What kind of book is this?Xu Manzhen looked at the title of the book, "Golden Jade Love Marriage"?
"What's this about, brother?" Xu Manzhen looked at the content, the vertical version of the book, without punctuation, her head suddenly became a little big, what do people think of this?

"Probably telling some stories about the daughters in the mansion." Xu Dahong tilted his head and thought for a while, but he was not sure about the content, and said.

He didn't believe that his sister would like to read books, but if she really wanted to read, this was the one she would most likely like.

That's why he chose this book specifically.

"Not interested." Is it the Dream of the Red Chamber in this era?Xu Manzhen threw the book back to Xu Dahong, shook her head, forget it, today is nothing.

Originally, she could still look for it for a while, but... when this boy came, she couldn't carelessly look for it anymore. What if he saw something unusual?
"Bai Xin!" Xu Manzhen yelled in the study, and the round-faced girl who had been standing outside the study door hurried in.

"Help me find a book on geography." Xu Manzhen said and sat down.Her eyes are full of thread-bound books, and they are all in traditional characters. She is really tired after reading, so let's take a rest.

"You still don't like reading?" The young man also sat down, tidied up the books, and said slowly, "Manzhen, if you have time, you should read more...it will be good for you..." His younger sister has a lively and lovely personality, cheerful and generous, but unfortunately she doesn't like reading.

"Yes, I will." Xu Manzhen yawned.reading?She didn't like it in her previous life.If a person who likes to read books, why would he have to practice dancing and become an art student in order to go to college?And because the cultural points are still not enough, I can't get into a special dance major, so I have to go to the Drama Academy?To be honest, dancing or something is much more difficult than cultural learning.But she just doesn't like reading... Idle books are more or less the same.

However, drama is still easier to find a job than other art majors. Even though I have never been popular, I still have a fixed fan base, and my income is much higher than other jobs in society.

But in this world, all of these are gone, and what awaits her is a very tragic fate.In a feudal era, what else could a woman who left home alone do?
It is simply unimaginable.

Seeing his sister's big yawn, Xu Dahong shook his head, knowing that at this age, his sister never liked to read books, and he couldn't change it by persuading him.

Soon, the round-faced Bai Xin came over with several books, and said, "Second Miss, I asked Mingyan to find it for me...which one do you think you want?"

Xu Manzhen took a few books, looked at the titles, they were all books on geography, but there was nothing special about them, they were all very ordinary books, so she picked up one at random, and then said goodbye to Xu Dahong, with a white heart Go away with a big stab.

Xu Dahong shook his head, stood up, found a few more books in the study, and then left.

What Xu Manzhen didn't expect was that her unintentionally revealed character was similar to her original body, at least one thing was exactly the same as before, that is, they both didn't like reading books.

After all, if people want to pretend all the time, even the acting school actors can't stand it.But now, for some unknown reason, her current personality is somewhat similar to her original personality, which creates good conditions for her to hide without being discovered.

"Second Miss, where are you going now?" Bai Xin asked cautiously.

"..." Xu Manzhen wanted to say, lead the way and go back to the house.But, can she say that, can she tell this close maid that she... forgot everything, including how to get to where she lives?

"Bai Xin, tell me about you. Before you entered the mansion, what were you like?" Xu Manzhen thought for a while, and said, lagging a little behind Bai Xin, as if to tell Bai Xin what she was going to say next. The content looks very curious.

Bai Xin was really fooled and recalled her past events.And once a person has something to do, unconsciously, she will walk on the path she is most familiar with.

Xu Manzhen seemed to be listening very carefully. In fact, most of her attention was spent on paying attention to the road conditions. This trick is indeed very useful, but you can't play it repeatedly, or you will be discovered sooner or later. She had better do it this time. Memorize the road by heart.

"Second Sister, wait for me." A voice called from behind Xu Manzhen, Xu Manzhen turned her head to look, but it was Xu Shuzhen who ran over at a trot, her face flushed red.

"What's the matter?" Xu Manzhen asked softly.For Xu Shuzhen, this role that should belong to her, Xu Manzhen's mood is complicated. Just now, she was still thinking, if it wasn't for the coal boss Xiaomi, who had never met, who snatched her role, it would be considered a journey through time. In this play, as a protagonist, she has a bright future, and she doesn't have to worry about how to break the situation like she is now.

But now, the tragic ending of this character is like the sword of Damocles, hanging above her head all the time, so she has to cheer up from time to time, not daring to be careless at all.

"Second sister, just now I went to the study room to borrow a book. I heard from Mingyan that you want to borrow a book? I borrowed an extra book. Second sister, take a look. It is very good for us girls." Xu Shuzhen was very pleased. said with a shy smile.

As she spoke, Xu Shuzhen handed over a book.

This girl is not bad, Xu Manzhen smiled at her and took the book.The role of Xu Shuzhen is almost hers, and she has studied this role very well. Although some places do not make sense, it may be that the plot designed by the editor is not good enough, but indeed, Xu Shuzhen is a good girl.

Not to mention that she is gentle and generous, and she is very kind to many servants in the Xu family. In the feudal era, it was not easy to do this—Xu Manzhen knew her own business, even if she was When I was an actor, sometimes I got angry, and sometimes I couldn't help being a little loud to my assistant, and sometimes I couldn't help losing my temper.

But Xu Shuzhen spoke in a thin voice from the beginning to the end in the play, as if she never got angry at any servant, even if her maid sometimes did something wrong, broke something, etc. , she just reasoned with them, never scolding, let alone beating.

As for Xu Manzhen, who was possessed by her, it was just the opposite, beating people at every turn, and the servants in her yard had to be beaten every few days.

So when I saw the ending for the first time, Ding Ding himself was still sighing that those who gained the Dao are more helpful, and those who lost the Dao are less. Obviously, this Xu Manzhen is a helpless person, even if she is the only daughter of the Xu family. So what, not to mention the servants of the entire Xu family, none of them stood by her side, that is, her father, mother, and eldest brother, all of them stood by Xu Shuzhen's side in the end.

Even the male protagonist she has been thinking of hates her deeply.

At that time she was Xu Shuzhen, so of course Xu Manzhen's ending was as miserable as possible, but now it's different, she has become Xu Manzhen... In this way, she must change her destiny and not let herself still be so miserable.

Fortunately, I am familiar with the plot, maybe she can change her fate.It is not uncommon for a supporting role to turn into a protagonist, although it is rare.It's as if in a movie, a Hong Kong actress played a supporting role, but won a famous movie award as the best actress...

It can be seen that such a thing is really man-made.Xu Manzhen secretly encouraged herself.

To change this, is to try to change the original plot.

In the original plot, Xu Manzhen, as the concubine's sister-in-law, always sees Xu Shuzhen, the concubine's younger sister, as disliked, and always beats her up... It's similar to an ancient house version of F4. If Xu Manzhen counts as Daoming Temple, then her maid The mother-in-law is the other three, who run amok in Xu's mansion all day long.

It's a pity that in Xu Mansion's mansion, F4's prospects are clearly not promising. Every time Xu Manzhen was severely criticized by her father and brother not long after bullying her sister, but she still didn't know how to learn the lesson, which can be regarded as a setback Not back to the diehards anymore.

But now, Xu Manzhen decided to change the setting of the original script.

Xu Manzhen smiled and took the book Xu Shuzhen handed over, and thanked her softly.

Xu Shuzhen obviously didn't expect her sister-in-law to thank her, she was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Second sister, take a look, do you still like this book?"

"This is..." Xu Manzhen flipped through the pages, and her face turned pale when she saw the vertical version of traditional Chinese characters without a sentence. Then she looked at the title of the book on the cover, and her face turned even paler: "The Analects of Women".

She knows the Analects of Confucius, but what is the Analects of Confucius?
However, even if you don't know the origin, you can guess a thing or two from the title of the book. It must be a book that teaches women in the boudoir how to behave, for example, something like "Three Obediences and Four Virtues".

Xu Shuzhen deserves to send her something like this?What's the meaning?Xu Manzhen looked at Xu Shuzhen with a bit of impoliteness.

"Second Sister...don't you like it?" Xu Shuzhen was stared at by Xu Manzhen's unkind eyes, she seemed quite timid, she took a step back, and mist instantly gathered in her big eyes.
