Rebirth of the Concubine Fenghua

Chapter 31

"Okay, okay, I didn't say I wanted to beat Haitang." Xue Shi actually felt sorry for her, and helped her up, "I was the one who neglected you in the past, so tell me what you want to eat in the future, and don't let Haitang steal it." If you steal this and that, if you spread it, it will give you a bad reputation, you know?"

But having said that, Ruotong was treated harshly by the family, which made her have such experience in dim sum. If she can really help Zheng Longzhai overcome this difficulty, it will be her luck.

"Thank you, mother!" Feng Ruotong felt relieved at this moment, patting her heart with a look of shock.

Feng Ruoliu felt that she had been ignored for too long, and took this opportunity to pick up the conversation, "Eldest sister really, if you want to eat snacks, even if you don't tell mother, you can tell me, why do you have to do it yourself. "

Feng Ruotong smiled, "Second sister is busy, she has to practice piano and dance, I'm sorry to disturb you."

The truth is, she once asked Haitang to go to Menglan Courtyard to find her second sister because she was so hungry that she couldn't bear it, but she was kicked out by Zijing.Yes, Second Sister can say that she doesn't know about this matter, but Zijing is her girl, if she doesn't have her, would she dare to be so presumptuous?
Fortunately, she believed the second sister's words and went against her mother everywhere. At that time, why didn't she realize that if the second sister was really good for her, how could she keep turning a blind eye to her dark days!

"Look at what Eldest Sister said, it's too outsider." Feng Ruoliu took Feng Ruotong's arm affectionately, "Eldest Sister, we are sisters, you must not treat me as an outsider in the future, you understand?"

Feng Ruotong smiled slightly, "Okay."

Coming out of Zhenglongzhai, Feng Ruotong seemed to be in a good mood, humming a little song that no one else had heard before, the tune was very pleasant, like a mother whispering softly when putting her child to sleep, listening to it made her feel very comfortable.

Xue was quite surprised, she had never heard Ruotong sing before, she did not expect her voice to be so gentle and melodious, with a touch of sadness, but more of a hope that made people feel safe, very touching.She listened to it for a while, then asked, "What song is sung by Ruotong, it's very nice."

Feng Ruotong said embarrassingly, "I sang indiscriminately, which made my mother laugh."

Feng Ruoliu has learned all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Naturally, she can hear Feng Ruotong's excellent rhythm, and she is also secretly amazed, and feels more and more that since the eldest sister fell into the pond and woke up again, she seems to be a different person. The lead is hidden, but it is not revealed, so that people can't see her depth, which is shocking.

"It's really nice," Xue smiled slightly, "If you have free time in the future, you can go to the Huaqingyuan to accompany me more and sing some songs for me."

Feng Ruotong smiled sweetly, "Okay, but mother is not allowed to make fun of my bad singing!"

"How could it be?" Xue touched her small face through the veil, "it sounds very nice, really."

Feng Ruotong blushed, but because she was wearing a veil, she couldn't tell. From her eyes, she could see some sharpness.How can it not sound good?In her previous life, she was stuttering and sick, and the more she was in front of people, the more nervous she became, she couldn't speak, and even she looked down on herself.

Later, it was Duan Zijin who discovered that she stuttered, but she sang melodiously, and could not hear the stammer, so he immediately paid a lot of money to hire a master to teach her to sing. In just three months, she had Every time there is a banquet, Duan Zijin will ask her to come out and sing a song, and every time she surprises everyone, the applause continues.

Not long after, the three of them came to another shop of Xue's, "Jingyuanfang", which specializes in antique jewelry. There are several grades, which can meet the needs of different people. Usually, the business is very good, and people often sell their own treasures here. There are people coming and going, so it is very lively.

Seeing Mrs. Xue coming in, the boss Du Xiude hurried over to say hello, "Ma'am is here? Eldest Miss, Second Miss." Although the two were covered with veils, it was not the first time he saw them, and he still recognized them. He secretly wondered, Madam used to come to the shop and never brought Miss out, what happened today.

Mrs. Xue nodded slightly, and said to Feng Ruotong, "Ruotong, take a look at the jewelry here, if you like it, pick a few." She is becoming more and more generous to Feng Ruotong, look at her like that My son, I wish I could give all the good things I have to this beloved daughter.

Feng Ruotong quickly shook her hands, "No need, mother, you asked Mother Zhou to send me a box of jewelry earlier, it's already enough, I can't wear that much!"

"Daughter's house, you have to wear some good-looking clothes, and you feel comfortable in your heart. It's okay, just choose." Mrs. Xue took her hand to the counter and ordered, "Xiu De, take the new batch of goods that just came in." Take it out and let Ruotong choose."

"Yes, ma'am." Du Dexiu hurriedly turned around and carefully took a tray from the shelf behind. There were more than a dozen kinds of jewelry on it, which seemed to be high-quality goods at first glance, "Miss, please choose slowly."

"Thank you, Uncle Du." Feng Ruotong didn't refuse any more, after looking at it, she picked up a golden silk phoenix hairpin and stood up.

Du Xiude was greatly surprised, and praised, "Missy has good eyesight! This hairpin is extremely exquisite in workmanship, and it is said that only concubines of the former dynasty are eligible to wear it. Look at this crested head, it is very lifelike. Wearing it on the hair, one step at a time." After a while, it has an auspicious name called 'Phoenix Nodding', whoever wears it will be the Queen's order."

Queen?A sharp light flashed in Feng Ruotong's eyes, but there was a shy smile on his face, "Uncle Du, don't talk nonsense, I don't want to be a queen! I still don't want to wear this, so as not to make people laugh. Second sister , I think it’s good for you to wear this, what do you think?”

Feng Ruoliu smiled, with an expression of not being moved by it, "Eldest sister just joked, I don't have the life to be a queen either, it's because elder sister is born beautiful, and she looks good wearing it." Mrs. Xue only asked elder sister to choose jewelry, but she didn't care about it. Did you greet her on purpose, or did you ignore her for a while?But it seems that Mrs. Xue is liking the elder sister more and more. It seems that all my thoughts will be in vain.

Xue Shi glanced at her indifferently, and said, "Ruoliu has never been short of these, so it's not a rare thing."

Feng Ruoliu hurriedly confessed, "Mother made fun of it, it's not that my daughter is not rare, it's that these jewelry are the treasures of this store, if my daughter took them, wouldn't it be too ignorant, if mother said so, she would ruin her daughter gone."

Xue looked away lightly, and didn't say much.

Feng Ruoliu was a little embarrassed, and became more and more sure that the elder sister must have complained to Xue Shi. How did she prevent her from accepting Xue Shi's kindness before, so she held a grudge against herself.Now it seems that my situation is not good, and I must restore Xue Shi's goodwill towards me as soon as possible, and regain the trust of my eldest sister, otherwise her position in Fengfu will be lost.
