Selena's rebirth diary

While her father was sweating profusely and went out to drink water, Selena quietly opened the old bamboo basket on the ground. There were three layers of bamboo partitions, each containing various small items. The upper layer was filled with embroidery needlework and some cheap wooden hairpins and silk flowers, below is an embroidered handkerchief and a purse made by her mother Maria. She looked through the bamboo basket and found that not a single handkerchief had been sold, but four or five round fans had been sold. Now that summer is getting hotter day by day, some women in ordinary families need two fans to match their clothes or to enjoy the cool air. , what is popular in the metropolis this year is this kind of butterfly love flower pattern. Although the things are beautiful, the cost is also high. In order not to overstock the goods, the salesmen can only sell them at low prices, fifteen copper coins a handful, a handle. Xiaofan only has a profit of two copper coins. Selena looked at another bamboo basket and found that only some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar were sold, but these were unprofitable items. There were few poor families who were willing to buy more. Every copper coin had to be calculated carefully. She covered the lid of the bamboo basket and entered the room. Her mother, Maria, was sitting on the bed, mending clothes. She was not in good health to begin with. She had just caught a cold a few days ago. She has gotten better these days, but her face is still sallow. When Maria saw her daughter coming in, she stopped and said: "Your dad always has a good temper, but this time he has been angry with you for several days. Although he ignores you, don't blame him in your heart. To be honest, you did something wrong this time..." Maybe she was a little excited, so after saying this, Maria coughed several times, took the daisy tea made by Selena and took sips before she felt relieved and her face looked better. Then she glared at Selena and said "Lucio's family are all scholarly disciples, and Lucio is good-looking and talented. If your father hadn't saved Lucio's father's life by chance, you would never have had the chance to become his fiancée. Now that Lucio's parents are dead, he hopes to get our help. Even if his face is injured and has no money, even if you really don't want to marry him, for the sake of his dead father, you can't insult him. His father has helped our family a lot in the past, but now we don't lend a helping hand. How could you be so mean and drive people away... Tell me, why were you so shameless and merciless that day?" Seeing her mother's eyes were red, Selena immediately lay down on the bedside, fell on her mother's lap and started to cry. Seeing her daughter crying so sadly and her shoulders twitching, Maria couldn't say any more words of blame that she wanted to continue to say. Her is always in poor health. She only has a daughter. Although she comes from an ordinary family, still hold Selena in my heart and dote on her in every possible way. Thinking of what happened at home during this period, she soon fell down with Selena. Tears, the mother and daughter suddenly burst into tears. Originally, Selena just lay on her mother's lap and pretended to cry in order to avoid being scolded. For a moment, she smelled the familiar light vegetation on her mother's body, and then thought of the suffering she suffered after her mother passed away in her previous life, and she couldn't help but feel sad. , burst into tears uncontrollably, and it only took a moment for Maria's clothes to get wet. Outside the door, Jose, who originally wanted to enter the room, stood at the door for a while. The expression on his face finally softened a little. He sighed, turned around, took the tools, and went to the back mountain to chop firewood. As soon as the sun set, Selena had already boiled water and took a shower, then changed into clean cloth pajamas. She sat alone on a stool in her room, looking at an old and uneven bronze mirror on a broken wooden table, slowly Slowly combing her waist-length wet hair, she looked at the young, sallow and skinny eleven-year-old girl in the mirror, with a strange look in her eyes. Selena smiled, she was no longer the original Selena who only had the memory of eleven years old. In her previous life, she was the lover of an earl. After she enjoyed some wealth and gained some knowledge, she felt that her name was so tacky that she wished she could change it. She never thought that one day she would hear someone call her Selena again, and she would feel warm. It made her want to cry. While thinking about it, she used the wooden comb with several broken teeth to carefully comb the knotted areas of her hair, and then she sat at the window like a piece of wood, quietly. Wait for your hair to dry naturally in the wind. Yesterday, she accidentally returned to eleven years old from thirty years old. Looking at the face in the mirror that looked malnourished and thin, instead of the face that made her despair, disheveled and looked like an old woman, suddenly she had the desire again, the desire to live, this desire became more intense after confirming that this was not a dream. After a while, the childish little face in the bronze mirror suddenly laughed, smiling so happily and wantonly. She stretched out her hand and touched her face and her slightly yellow hair. This was just because of insufficient nutrition. Wheng she grow up, she will look like a different person. Otherwise, in my previous life, I would not have been favored by the earl and taken into the palace as his lover. She would not have stood out among the earl's many lovers and enjoyed the earl's favor for five years. After a long period of time, she was injured due to several miscarriages. She was unable to have any more children and fell out of favor. Even so, she was still feared by the countess every day. Finally, she was kicked out of the count's palace and secretly sold her to a balsam hawker.
