Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 112 Whose Daughter is Red?

Shen Shangshu got the letter, and his heart became lighter.New Year's Eve, it won't be long!The daughters grow up one by one, and if they can marry well like the eldest lady and the fourth lady, the future of his Shen family will be assured!Shen Shangshu thought beautifully.

Suddenly he remembered that when Wu Niangzi was born, he and Zhu's relationship was just right, and Wu Niangzi was very likable when she was born.He buried several jars of daughter red under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in Shaoguangyuan.It is said that they will dig out when Wu Niangzi gets married.

Thinking of the two boxes of treasures sent by the Qin family, Shen Shangshu couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.With his hands behind his back, he came to Shaoguangyuan staggeringly.

"Go get the shovel!" Shen Shangshu ordered the boy beside him.

The boy hurriedly found a shovel, "Master, where do you want to dig? Just tell me, the little ones will do it!"

"Go, let's go, the daughter Hong dug for Si Niangzi, of course, I, the father, have to do it myself!" Shen Shangshu said with a smile.

The servant was taken aback, "Is Fifth Lady going to get married?"

Shen Shangshu glared at him, "Did I mention Fifth Lady? It was for Fourth Lady!"

The boy scratched his head, "But didn't the master say before that this daughter Hong is reserved for Fifth Lady?"

Shen Shangshu snorted, "You idiot without a head, stay away! Don't get in the way!"

The little servant hastily bowed and took two steps back, not daring to ask any more questions.

The lady sweeping in the Shaoguang courtyard had quick legs, and she ran to Wu Niangzi's courtyard in a short while.

When Shen Shangshu dug up the second altar of daughter Hong.Wu Niangzi hurried over with her maid.It has been more than half a month since Zhu's death, and she has stayed in her boudoir for more than half a month, never going out.

At first glance today, it seems like a different person.All the pearls and roundness of the past are gone, the small face is thin and pale, and the chin is also pointed, revealing a somewhat pitiful posture.

"Why is Wu Niang here?" Shen Shangshu straightened up, holding a shovel in his hand, and frowned at Shen Wu Niang.

"Didn't Dad say that this daughter, Hong, was buried for Wu Niang back then?" Wu Niang's voice was low, as if she had no strength.

"That's true, but now, before you reach the age of Ji, your sister is getting married!" Shen Shangshu's tone revealed joy and briskness, "And it's not like this daughter Hong will be dug up, and I will leave it to you. yes!"

Shen Wuniang hung her head and said nothing.

"Si Niang is your older sister, are you reluctant to give it to her?" Shen Shangshu raised his eyebrows.

Shen Wuniang shook her head quickly, "No... I'm not reluctant. I just feel that it seems to be different from before."

Her last words were so low that only she could hear them.

Shen Shangshu smiled, "It's fine if you don't feel reluctant, your sisters are all married, and Dad will not treat you badly in the future!"

Shen Wuniang lowered her head, watching Shen Shangshu shoveling the soil.The soil covered the ground, as if covering something that used to be.Since my mother left, it seems that everything has really changed.In the past, her father's most beloved daughter was her, and only her.

Whether it is the eldest sister or the fourth mother, my father never wants to talk about it.Not to mention that these buried daughters are for her to share with the sisters next to her.These are all hers, he said.Speaking of things from the Shen family, when she gets married in the future, she can choose the dowry...

She naively thought that everything her father said would be kept.Only now did I realize that she couldn't even keep her own daughter Hong!
Shen Shangshu hugged the two jars of daughter Hong, smiling brightly.But this smile was extremely glaring in Shen Wuniang's eyes.

There was also a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were clearly cold.It turned out that the only person who cared about her most and loved her the most was the mother who had left her forever.She left Shaoguang Academy first.She didn't even care about the voice of her father talking to her behind her.

The footsteps of leaving are quite a bit of a state of escape.After leaving the Shaoguang Academy, she slowed down.

"My lady, the way back is over there..." Seeing that her face was a little dazed and her footsteps were a little staggering, the servant girl couldn't help reminding her.

Shen Wuniang shook her head, "I won't go back yet, it's rare that I have the courage to come out."

"Huh?" The servant girl was a little confused.

The lady comes out as soon as she wants to come out, who else can't let the lady be locked in the boudoir?

Shen Wuniang's footsteps were walking towards Shen Siniang's yard.There were bursts of laughter in the courtyard.Her footsteps stopped abruptly outside the yard.He listened for a while.

It was Aunt An who was inside. She had never heard Aunt An laugh so heartily.Aunt An gave her the impression of being cowardly, shrinking, and not even daring to raise her head in front of her mother.Now that my mother is gone, Si Niang is getting married, so has Aunt An's waist straightened up?Only her, with her is the one who has no support...

Shen Wuniang took a deep breath and clenched her fists.Her mother was gone, and she was no longer the little girl who could hide in her mother's arms, act coquettishly, and lose her temper at will.In the future, she will go alone with all her strength.

She tried her best to raise the corners of her mouth, and walked towards the main room.

"Lady, Fifth Lady is here!" the maid at the door said.

The laughter in the main room stopped immediately.The maid raised the cotton curtain.Shen Wuniang stepped in, just in time to see two brightly colored spring grass new spinning placed on the table in the future and put away.

Shen Siniang got up to greet her, and reached out to hold her hand, "Why is Wu Niang's hand so cold? Come and warm up at the stove!"

Shen Wuniang was pulled, but she didn't resist.

Aunt An got up a little awkwardly, and asked the servant girl to take away the two bright cloths on the table, "Fifth lady, this... this is that Si Niang is going to get married, so... so I prepared it for her."

Aunt An explained with a disturbed expression.

Shen Wuniang smiled lightly and nodded, "I just found out that my sister is going out, but I didn't know it before, and I didn't prepare a gift for my sister when I came, so my sister won't blame me, right?"

Shen Siniang stared at Shen Wuniang with wide eyes, as if she didn't know her.What did Shen Wuniang call her just now?Call her sister?She has grown so big, Shen Wuniang has always called her "Si Niang, Si Niang".She never expected that one day Shen Wuniang would call her sister in front of her!
"Sister, what's wrong? Are you blaming me?" Shen Wuniang lowered her head slightly, and her tone was a little low, "I know, I used to be ignorant, my mother doted on me, and you all let me... Now, now... My mother is gone...No one can spoil me so unprincipled...I'm sorry, sister, please forgive me for my mistakes before, it's my fault..."

Shen Wuniang said, her tears pattered on the stove, and they were dried again in an instant.

Shen Siniang and Aunt An exchanged glances, and handed over a handkerchief, "What is Wu Niang talking about? How could I blame you! Although your mother is gone, you are still the daughter of the Shen family, father, and the daughter of the family. Everyone will treat you as before. Don't think too much about it!"

Shen Wuniang took the veil and quickly wiped away her tears, "Look at me, I didn't come here to talk about this!"

Shen Siniang nodded, "You can say whatever you want, don't be sad."

"Yes, I'm here to congratulate my sister. I heard that my father is preparing for your marriage. I didn't hear anything about it before. This...why is it so sudden?" Shen Wuniang looked up at Shen Siniang with red eyes.

Shen Siniang froze for a moment.Originally, the Zhu family was the concubine's wife. Although she was not a descendant of the Zhu family, she still had to be a filial piety for the Zhu family and was not allowed to marry.Of course, Zhu's continuation is not so true.Besides, she was taken back as a concubine, and she was not being married by a Ming media, so naturally it was not so serious.

When Shen Wuniang asked this in front of her face, Shen Siniang felt a little embarrassed.

"My sister doesn't want to say it, so that's all!" Shen Wuniang looked at her for a while, but she didn't hear her answer, she lowered her eyes, a little disappointed, "What gift does my sister want? I will also express my heart to my sister."

"No, no need." Shen Siniang shook her head.

"If you don't tell me, then I'll just watch!" Shen Wuniang sat for a while.

She was wearing mourning, sitting in Shen Siniang's boudoir, whether it was Shen Siniang or Aunt An, there was some awkwardness on their faces.Shen Wuniang had a pale face, and she left after not sitting for long.

"She seems... different." Aunt An stood at the door, stretched out a finger to pick up the cotton door curtain, and said from the crack of the door curtain, watching Shen Wuniang's leaving back.

"Of course it's different," Shen Siniang took a big sip of tea, "When did she call me sister before?"

Aunt An lowered her eyes, "A child without a mother is pitiful. If you can take care of her in the future, you should take care of her more!"

Shen Siniang sneered, "Auntie is confused, does she need me to take care of her? She is a concubine! I just came to be a concubine for others!"

After finishing speaking, she paused for a moment, and snorted, "And isn't eldest sister even more pitiful? The mother of eldest sister died when she was so young, and she was rejected by the whole family, and she was thrown far away in Wu Xing's hometown in the backcountry! How did the eldest sister come here for so many years? How did the mother treat the eldest sister before she was alive? Thinking about this, my aunt shouldn't have said such things!"

Aunt An shook her head and sighed softly, "It's my parents' fault, after all, Wu Niang is not at fault."

"What kind of person is mother, Wu Niang is not far behind! I left home, mother had better be on guard against her!" Shen Siniang said with a serious face, "What is it that a barking dog does not bite? A dog that doesn’t bark kills people? I think Wu Niangzi is even scarier now than before! Before, she was just relying on her mother’s airs! Look at her just now? One mouthful and one sister, it makes me feel goosebumps all over my body. pimple!"

Aunt An frowned, "She is your sister, how can you say that?"

"Auntie, please don't say that! If she calls me elder sister, I will really treat her as my younger sister. Then the ten years before she didn't call me elder sister, isn't my life in vain?" Shen Siniang snorted. .
