TLNote: Lunar New Year bonus chapter. Happy Chinese New Year!

　　Chapter 3 Encountering joy is the norm of happiness

　　In less than a moment, everything that Shu Huan wanted was brought over. Besides, Huiyun was cautious and feared that it was not to her (SH) liking, so she took four or five books for her. It was enough for her to choose from and read. She also brought a thin blanket for her to use at night. Afterwards, she locked the door and left.

　　At this moment, the realgar incense was lit at the corner. The straws were piled up comfortably and the thin blanket was placed on top of it. There were four or five books on hand. Shu Huan lit a candle and laid down, heaving a deep sigh.

　　Everything was fine except for one thing, there was no candle holder. It seemed that Huiyun was still afraid that she would commit suicide and didn't dare to give her sharp objects. She could only lie on one side and put the book close to the candle so that there was enough light to read.

　　The words in the book were written in traditional Chinese. The characters were small and the handwriting was neat and tidy.

　　There were many strokes in traditional Chinese, so it was not easy to write the characters, but to understand them wasn't difficult. Aside from some rarely used words, she could guess the other words. Only, she wasn't accustomed to reading from the right to the left and from top to bottom. Besides, the sentences didn't have any punctuation, so after reading two or three pages, she already felt dizzy.

　　However, the book in her hand was a chronological history on Chinese dynasties. It was very useful in understanding this world. She patiently continued to look at it by reading the main points. She discovered that she’d never heard the names of the countries and years recorded in the book. It seemed that she time-traveled to another unknown time and s.p.a.ce.

　　Anyway, she didn't study history well (when she was in the modern era). She only knew about some important things. What year or anything else was already blur in her memory. It was not enough to rely solely on those historical events to avoid the evil. Even if she time-traveled to the familiar Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming or Qing dynasties, she would still have been baffled. Therefore, she wasn't disappointed. She could only start by memorizing the current country and year.

　　While she turned the page, a piece of paper suddenly fell from it. Even if she was sharp-sighted and quick to want to grab it, the paper was already burned by the candle’s flame. After she used the book to extinguish the fire, some words on it was already black and damaged.

　　She couldn't help but look at it. There was written, "Because he lost his mother young and caught a grave disease, I sensed that he would not stay in this world for long…In the family, there's a big brother and a few younger brothers. Originally, there was no intention to take a wife…Send the betrothal gift to Shu family's daughter named…I still remembered the sentence left by the monk that I once visited: encountering joy is the norm of happiness. Could this marriage be destined by the heavens…I feel frightened and happy in my heart…"
