Rebirth of an Abandoned Woman

"There are so many good things from my siblings! It's so dazzling to see! Everything is really good!" Shi Yumei smiled and praised, and said: "How about I just choose two things at will, anything is fine! "

Of course Sang Wan refused. She knew that no matter what she chose, it would not suit Shi Yumei's eyes, so she might as well let her choose. Anyway, if it doesn’t really belong to you, you won’t feel bad if someone picks it out.

When Shi Yumei saw that she insisted on choosing by herself, she smiled rudely and took away the mutton-fat white jade hairpin that Sang Wan had inserted in her bun when she first met Sang Wan, and picked two more eighteen strings. Jade bracelets, one set with rubies, one set with pearls, a pair of silk-embedded jeweled phoenix and sycamore hairpins, and a pair of gold folded silk-set ruby ​​lantern earrings.

Shi Yumei secretly observed Sang Wan's face while picking it up. When she didn't see her expression of heartache and reluctance, Shi Yumei suddenly felt a little bored. Upon closer inspection, Sang Wan's expression didn't look fake at all. Shi Yumei felt a little sorry for this, and thought to herself, just teach her a lesson, so she stopped!

"My brother and sister are so generous, which makes me, as a sister, embarrassed! I didn't bring any gifts to my brother and sister, but I picked up my brother's and sister's things first! This is so embarrassing that people don't know what to say about me!" Shi Yumei He smiled half-seriously.

"How could it be!" Sang Wan hurriedly laughed and said: "You are the eldest lady of the Shifu, the eldest young master's biological sister, and Wan Niang's biological sister! It's too strange for the eldest sister to say this!" Sang Wan said Then she asked Hongye to find a rosewood jewelry box inlaid with broken mother-of-pearl and broken branches and flowers. She put all the jewelry that Shi Yumei had selected and handed it over to Cuizhu.

Shi Yumei was very pleased after hearing these words. She also saw that the jewelry box was not only made of high-quality materials and beautiful in appearance, but was also padded with bright red velvet cushions. It was divided into small grids just right, and each grid could hold one thing. , very considerate. It can be seen that it is also a valuable object. Sang Wan took it for herself for free, which made her confused for a moment. But the unfounded resentment in my heart has been reduced a lot.

"By the way," Sang Wan said with a smile: "The eldest young master has told me that he will clear out the banana garden in a few days for eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law to live in. When it is cleaned up, I will ask eldest sister to come with me and see if I can buy anything else. What the hell! I don’t understand the eldest sister’s preferences, it’s better than the eldest sister seeing it herself!”

When Shi Yumei heard the word "eldest brother-in-law", she felt uneasy for no reason, so she smiled and said, "Okay! However, I am a bit picky, and I'm afraid you, my brothers and sisters, will find me troublesome and complain! "

"What are you talking about, eldest sister! You definitely don't know!" Sang Wan said with a smile.

"That's good!" Shi Yumei smiled, "My siblings are busy here, so I won't disturb them! I'm going back first!"

"Sister, let's go slowly! Come and sit down when you have time!" Sang Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent her out in person.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the evening, people from both houses ate together in the main courtyard of the Wang family. Everyone in the family was there except Gu Fangzi.

In the Peony Garden, Gu Fangzi was eating vegetarian dishes alone, looking out the window at the bright moon that looked like a jade plate, hanging brightly in the blue sea and sky, casting a clear light all over the ground, and the mottled branches could be seen.

Looking up at the moon and looking down at herself in pity, Gu Fangzi's eyes couldn't help but turn red. It was quiet all around, except for the gentle breeze blowing by from time to time, causing the leaves to rustle. In this vast silence, she seemed to be able to hear the joy and laughter of the family in Shifu. Compared with the deserted atmosphere of her master and servant, she felt even more miserable.

That's all. My eldest cousin didn't even come to see me! Not even a greeting! Gu Fangzi couldn't help feeling resentful in her heart. She had no idea that Shi Fengju actually hurried home from Meng County shortly before dinner.

Sang Wan must be the ghost of that bitch Sang Wan!

Imagine that at this moment, Sang Wan was beside Shi Fengju, dressed in luxurious jewelry and beaming with joy, Gu Fangzi felt a great hatred in her heart.

In the main courtyard, Ren Zhixian was much more honest during this meal. The two of them were in no trouble, and neither was anyone else, so they enjoyed the meal happily.

Soon after the meal, the family went to Furongting near the water. They specially invited a theater troupe to set up a stage to sing in the open air. They talked and laughed while admiring the moon and listening to the opera. It was quite lively.

It had been a long time since Shi Yumei had listened to a play so peacefully, and she didn't bother to trouble Sang Wan for the moment. Mrs. Wang only talked and joked with her sister-in-law and daughter, not to mention Sang Wan. Mrs. Shi Er's own daughter-in-law has been refusing to come back since she returned to her parents' home. She has a dull face, and she is not embarrassed to talk about her sister-in-law's daughter-in-law. Sang Wan was busy for a few days and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting in the back, leaning on his elbows, he almost fell asleep.

Feeling that someone was gently putting clothes on her, Sang Wan opened her eyes gently, and when she saw it was Liu Ya, she smiled and said, "You're really interested! It's not cold anymore, so there's no need to be like this! If you don't want to go to the theater, stay here." What to do? Go ahead, I just have a little girl here, I don’t need you to wait on me!"

The wives, wives, and maids in charge of the whole house all liked to watch the show. Xingzhi, Liuya and other gang members were also sent away by Sang Wan. At this time, the masters were sitting in the middle, and the respectable stewardesses and nuns were sitting next to them. There was a large circle of people surrounding them, all craning their necks to watch the fun.

Pian Wang was the most lively and lively person, so she ordered several long tables to be placed nearby, with many melon seeds, candies, etc. on them for the maids and servants to watch the show and eat snacks. The more people there, the more lively it becomes.

Hearing this, Liu Ya leaned over and chuckled softly: "It's hard for me to watch the show over there. Unexpectedly, the eldest young master suddenly asked someone to call me over. He said that the eldest grandma was a little tired and she was sleeping outside at night. If you catch a cold, ask your servant to get some clothes for Grandma! Grandma, the young master really loves you!"

Sang Wan was startled and subconsciously looked in the direction of Shi Fengju, only to see him looking at her and smiling at her. Sang Wan's face suddenly became hot, and she glared at Liu Ya and spat: "You talk too much! You've got the clothes, too. Let's go! If it's later, the scene won't be able to take place!"

"Yes, grandma! That slave is going to go!" Liu Ya pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and left.

Sang Wan subconsciously gently touched the maroon embroidered soft silk cloak on her body. The smooth and delicate fabric felt very good. It was soft and heavy in her hands, with a slight coolness in the evening breeze.

She lowered her head gently, feeling mixed in her heart for a moment, and the sleepiness and tiredness had disappeared long ago.

Late at night, another late-night snack was delivered from the kitchen. Each person had a bowl of steaming hot and fragrant silver noodles in chicken soup, accompanied by tender cabbage, scallops, ham, fresh bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, etc. It was very delicious.

After everyone used it, they dispersed one after another laughing.

Sang Wan had to explain in detail that the ladies in charge had hired their own errands, cleaned the ones that should be cleaned, put away the wine utensils that should be put away, and put away the tables, chairs, desks, vases, incense burners and other things. Tomorrow Don't forget to return it to the warehouse.

"Grandma, all the slaves know it. Grandma, don't worry. The slaves are well taken care of and taken care of. Don't worry about it! It's late at night, so you'd better go back and rest! You see, the young master is still waiting. Looking after you!" Sang Wan was about to explain, but a lady in charge glanced behind Sang Wan and said with a smile.

Everyone knows that this grandma is serious and has rules in doing things. She has a good temper and is soft-spoken. As long as she follows the rules, she will never lose her temper and offend others, let alone take it out on others. Therefore, He dared to joke with her. After hearing this, everyone laughed and even said yes. What about "Grandma, please go back quickly, don't keep the young master waiting!", "Yes, yes, the young master has looked this way several times! It's time to blame the servants for being useless and incapable of doing things!"

Sang Wan felt a little embarrassed when she told them, so she couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You all should stop talking to me, and pack it up carefully. I won't accept it if something is missing tomorrow!" After saying that, he turned around surrounded by the maids. .

As expected, Shi Fengju was standing at the path waiting for her. He was wearing a moon-white flowered robe and a brocade belt around his waist. His figure was slender and upright, and he was looking ahead casually with his hands behind his back. The wind blew, and the corners of his robe fluttered slightly. At first glance, he looked like a banished immortal.

Seeing Sang Wan and his entourage approaching, Shi Fengju smiled at her and motioned for her to come forward.

Sang Wan was a little embarrassed, but also a little sweet for no reason. She lowered her head and stepped forward gently.

"Let's go back!" Shi Feng raised his hand to hold her shoulder, but then put it down after thinking about it.

"Yeah!" Sang Wan nodded. The two of them walked back together. They seemed to be very close, but in fact the corners of their clothes never touched, and Sang Wan's footsteps were slightly half a step behind Shi Fengju. Shi Fengju could even hear her shallow breathing, but there was always a gap between them, as if something was crossing it, making it impossible for the two of them to take a step forward.

The two of them stayed in silence until they returned to Ningyuan.

After washing up and returning to the room, Shi Fengju suddenly called Sang Wan, "Did you... give the mutton-fat white jade hairpin I gave you to eldest sister?"

Sang Wan was startled and suddenly thought that the hairpin would be inserted into Shi Yumei's bun tonight, so she nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you saw it!"

Shi Fengju suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. When he first saw that hairpin, he thought it suited her very well, so he specially bought it as a gift for her, but he didn't expect that she would just give it away in the blink of an eye. Although the person giving it away was his biological sister, Shi Fengju still felt uncomfortable.

"Well, why did you suddenly think of giving something to the eldest sister?" Shi Fengju said: "Logically, you should give each other gifts when you meet for the first time, but after all, you have worn that hairpin, so how can you give it to the eldest sister? If you want to give her something, just tell me and I’ll ask someone to buy it again!”
