Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 59

Shen Ruyi felt that she was too generous, and she had inherited more of her mother's kindness.However, fortunately, she resembled her mother. If she really resembled Lord Shen, it would be unbearable to think about it.

Holding the praise for herself, Shen Ruyi quickly fell asleep.It's midnight, and you can't sleep if you don't sleep.The high fire has been lit, and it is time to get up in the middle of the night to worship the ancestors and worship the gods. When the sky is bright, it is time to entertain the guests who come to the door. There are many things to do.

Of course, things like ancestor worship have nothing to do with Shen Ruyi.Shen Houye took the lead, and the big and small men of the Hou Mansion followed, as if performing some mysterious ceremony.Shen Ruyi's responsibility is to prepare incense candles and firecrackers, and clean the ancestral hall early, so that there can be no mistakes.

The breakfast meal is dumpling noodles. However, for auspiciousness, this dumpling noodle also has an auspicious name. The dumplings are called Yuanbao, and the noodles are called gold silk wrapping Yuanbao. They have to be wrapped with new copper plates.

The first batch of copper coins released by the imperial court every year are rare items, and ordinary people can't get them yet.But who is Lord Shen Hou?Brand new copper plates, brought back a basket on New Year's Eve.Of course, the children in their family basically never used copper plates for shopping. These copper plates were all used as gifts.

A pile of one hundred, braided into a ball, or a string, or a ball with bright red silk thread.The elders hand it out, and the children put it under the pillow, sleep on it all night on New Year's Eve, and hang it up the next day as a mascot.

The auspicious money inside the dumplings is also made of this new copper plate.If you have eaten it, take a bite, and there will be a click, and the eyes of those who are happy will narrow their eyes.

While eating, Shen Ruyi showed off to Lord Shen Hou with a smile: "Look, I have already eaten two! In the new year, I will definitely be very lucky, and my father will give me a big red envelope. Let me tell you that this year What should be sold in our shop."

Shen Houye smiled: "Just you, you only earn two or three small money. If you have time, you might as well give pointers to your own rouge shop."

In Lord Shen's shop, even if it sells the least profitable items, no one will worry about buying them.

Shen Ruyi was proud: "My rouge shop is very good, and I make money every year. Father, don't worry, when you are old, I will have money to support you."

Shen Houye was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, Shen Ruyi curled her lips, held the bowl and turned her head, really, it's rare to say a good word, but she didn't believe it!Forget it, this kind of person won't show weakness even when they get old.

"Master Hou, ma'am, eldest girl." While eating dumplings, the big maid next to the old lady came over. Because of the matter with Little Qiumao, now Qiumao has no status, and she has nothing to do all day long. He only followed the old lady, and never even went out of the old lady's yard.

Shen Ruyi looked up at her: "What's the matter?"

"The old lady asked Mrs. Hou and the eldest girl to come over." The servant girl hurriedly said, "The people from Mrs. Weiting's room have already come. The old lady asked Mr. Hou to go over and say hello."

"Understood, I'll go right away." Shen Ruyi nodded hurriedly, swallowed a dumpling in two or three bites, and hurriedly got up to get jewelry for Mrs. Shen: "Mother, hurry up, do you know who the old lady Weiting is? It's my grandfather." brother..."

Mrs. Shen smiled while arranging her clothes: "You look down on me too much. How can I not know about these things? I also know that the two sons of the old man's family have not separated so far. There must be a few people from their house who came here." Girl, you have to be careful later."

Shen Ruyi also nodded, the mother and daughter hurried out, no one greeted Lord Shen.Master Shen held the chopsticks in one hand and the bowl in the other, looked at the door, and sighed, was he forgotten?Forget it, anyway, with the second and third younger brothers around, I don't need to worry, thinking, Master Shen will continue to eat dumplings slowly, I don't believe it, he won't be able to eat a copper coin today!

When Shen Ruyi and Mrs. Shen arrived at Changchun Garden, the old lady was smiling and talking to a woman in her forties. Mrs. Shen paused before going forward to salute: "I have seen..."

Before Mrs. Shen could finish speaking, a maid rushed in from outside: "Old lady, you have to decide for our aunt! Our aunt... our aunt's child is gone!"

In an instant, the room was quiet, and there was not even a sound.Mrs. Shen had never encountered such a thing before, and she was a little frightened, while Mrs. Shen Er and Mrs. Shen San were silent, and the old lady's face was a little embarrassed: "Where is the maid!"

"I beg you, old lady, please save our aunt, our aunt is dying soon." The maid shouted.Crying on the ground: "I beg you, old lady, please find a doctor for our aunt. Our aunt was murdered and the child was not saved. I will soon..."

"I'm sorry, Auntie Tang." Shen Ruyi hastily motioned to Madam Qiu who was standing aside, but Nanny Qiu was not stupid, she knew that this matter could not be publicized today, and she did so in front of outsiders. He hurriedly stepped forward and took a handkerchief to cover the mouth of the servant girl, and dragged the servant girl away with all her might.

The old lady smiled awkwardly: "It's rare for my niece and daughter-in-law to come..."

The woman quickly waved her hand: "It's okay, every family has a few troublesome people. I heard that Ruyi is taking care of the Hou's mansion now? Is Ruyi young..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Ruyi asked in surprise: "I don't understand what my auntie said. Could it be that the person in charge of the house has to take care of the affairs of the uncle's room?"

The woman's complexion immediately became ugly: "Little girl, why do you talk like this..."

Although Mrs. Shen was a little dazed, she valued her daughter the most in her life, and she could even change her temper for her daughter. Now she was scolded when she saw her daughter for no reason, and maybe this word would spread, bad If he ruined his daughter's reputation, he immediately became unwilling.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that the eldest girl in your family also took care of the house before she got married?" Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows. Every family has girls. Your girl can learn to be a housekeeper before she gets married. Can't?Since the girl in my family can learn how to be a housekeeper before getting married, what do you mean by your previous accusation?Could it be that this niece can reach out to take care of uncle's room?
Besides, whose aunt is not under the care of the mistress. Are you embarrassed to let an unmarried girl take care of your third bedroom?This is not a trivial matter, what kind of aunt, who is married, who is pregnant, whose little girl cares about this before she gets married?
"I don't know if the aunts in my cousin's room were under the care of your girls when they were pregnant. Did the aunts give birth safely or did they have a miscarriage?" Mrs. Shen continued to ask with a smile, staring at the The eyes of the woman are not very friendly.

It's not easy to answer this question, no matter how you answer it, it is wrong.Moreover, it was a coincidence that when her daughter was the housekeeper, she happened to have a miscarriage...

"Mrs. Shen, I'm really sorry." The person next to the woman apologized: "My sister-in-law is a little bit angry today. It's the Chinese New Year. The Zhuangzi sent some mutton and rabbit meat to the village before. I didn't pay attention last night. , I ate a little too much..."

Mrs. Shen suddenly realized: "That's it, no wonder."

As he said, he got up and looked at the old lady above: "Old lady, I'm afraid that the third sibling can't solve this matter in private. If I don't ask, it will make people think that the head mother of our Hou's mansion only eats and doesn't do anything." My son. The aunt is still waiting, so I'll go and have a look first, I can't stay with the old lady here, so I ask the old lady to forgive me."

The old lady's complexion was not very good. No matter how troublesome things in the mansion were, it was all about her own mansion, and she couldn't make trouble in front of outsiders.Even if the two families have the same ancestor, they have been separated for so long, and they are already considered two families.

Mrs. Shen San also hurriedly got up, and said with a sneering smile: "Well, old lady, it's my fault that this kind of thing happened, and the two sisters-in-law made a joke. I'll solve it now, and ask the old lady Forgive me."

The old lady nodded, and Mrs. Shen went out with Mrs. Shen San.Second Madam Shen lowered her head and took a sip of her tea, then changed the subject with a smile: "Speaking of which, your son-in-law is scheduled to return to Beijing this year, right? Did the officials say hello?"

The complexion of the sister-in-law in the lobby changed, and she didn't speak for a long time. When she wanted to speak again, Mrs. Shen had already turned her head to chat with the second sister-in-law: "Your youngest son is talented in both civil and military affairs. The teachers in the school are all talented. Full of praise, in the future, you will be blessed."

The old lady gave the lobby wife a cold look, closed her eyes and pretended to rest.

Shen Ruyi was a little anxious, afraid that Mrs. Shen would not be able to handle this matter, but she couldn't leave.She really can't get involved in the affairs of Mr. Shen San's room. With the aunt in the lobby at the moment, she can't even go out the door of the living room.

It's just that what happened today is a bit weird. The red willow, the imperial doctor came to take the pulse before and said that he was in good health, as long as he kept it as usual?How did she have a miscarriage for no reason?Moreover, when is it bad to have an abortion, why did you choose this day?
Although Mrs. Shen San is not very smart, she is by no means a fool. It is impossible to do something today, let alone bring the matter up in front of outsiders.If this matter broke out, even if it would hinder Shen Ruyi's housekeeper's reputation, it would not be a big problem. After all, Shen Ruyi's seniority was left there, and no one would hold on to this matter.

But for Mrs. Shen Third, her reputation is not very good. How come the good-looking aunt suddenly became fluent?Before Hongliu, Third Master Shen didn't have half a concubine's children except Mrs. Shen's wife's son.It's not that the third master Shen can't do it, it's not that women can't have children, then there are no bastards, what else could be the reason?
Therefore, Mrs. Shen San should not have caused this matter today.But the death of a concubine and aunt in the third room, who will have the greatest impact?Except for the third room, the other big two rooms basically have no influence. Who would do such a thankless thing?
