Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 119

Shen Yunrou and Shen Jiamei have already arranged all kinds of things in the garden, there are book cases, piano cases, chess boards, and fishing rods. Seeing Shen Ruyi coming, the two came over with busy smiles, hugging each other on the left and the right. Shen Ruyi's arm: "Sister, we have arranged according to your instructions, what do you think?"

For the situation where Shen Ruyi can receive guests with Mrs. Shen, but she can only arrange things in the garden, the two people's emotions are really different.Shen Yunrou didn't care, she knew that Shen Ruyi was already engaged to get married, and she would only show her face today, and when the imperial decree of marriage was issued at the end of the year, she might not go out again.Therefore, it is the most important thing for Mrs. Shen to bring Shen Ru to meet guests.

When Shen Ruyi gets engaged, there will be no such opportunities in the future.

Therefore, no one can steal Shen Ruyi's limelight today, otherwise Mrs. Shen will be unhappy no matter how good-tempered she is.

She is now the prostitute under Mrs. Shen's name. When Shen Ruyi gets engaged, will Mrs. Shen not remember her?At that time, it is his chance to show up.Besides, she is still young, she is only fourteen after the new year, and she is two years away from Jiji, so it is really not a good time to be in a hurry to meet guests.

It's not smart, it's stupid to grab the opportunity of the older sister.

And Shen Jiamei was a little annoyed. When her mother was going to welcome guests and take care of the birthday banquet, she was busy going around. No matter how you look at it, she was also the host of the birthday banquet, and she was a great contributor!But I didn't even get a chance to greet the guests!Not even a chance to show up!

The long room was really just like what my mother said, she looked kind on the surface, but in fact she had a dark heart. She thought that the lady in the lobby should be a good person, but in the end, she said one thing and did another.Before, she promised to give herself a chance in front of her mother, but now she is only allowed to do what a maid should do in the garden!
Shen Yunrou regarded this incident as an exercise, but Shen Jiamei regarded it as a humiliation.

Shen Ruyi was opaque in her previous life. In this life, under the guidance of Nanny Lu, her ability to observe words and emotions is also first-class. What's more, the little girl Shen Jiamei hasn't fully learned how to hide it. Abandoned the appropriation of the second room.

The big ones are not greedy enough, but the small ones are learned and stylish.She thought she was giving Erfang a chance, but Erfang didn't take it seriously, and wanted to bite back. She didn't want to turn herself into a farmer who saved a snake.

"This is all arranged by my sister." Shen Ruyi said with a smile, pointing to the arrangement in the garden: "What do you think?"

"Your sister is really capable, and she is very thoughtful." Immediately, a girl expressed her admiration: "You are also very careful to separate the barrier, very good, if I have such a sister, I will wake up from my dream with laughter. Yunrou, right? ? Do you want to be my sister?"

Shen Yunrou blushed, and hid behind Shen Ruyi: "I like my eldest sister better."

"Oh, I really envy you, Ruyi." The girl made a very annoyed look: "I can't compare to you. Such a beautiful and capable sister doesn't like me. I'm so sad."

Everyone smiled face-saving, Shen Ruyi supported Shen Yunrou's shoulder and smiled: "You, just envy me, no one will give me my sister."

"That's not necessarily true. If you don't give it to us, how can you not give it to your future brother-in-law?" Another girl smiled and blinked. Shen Yunrou's face was flushed, and she almost buried her head on Shen Ruyi's back. She squeezed Shen Yunrou's cheek: "No! Unless..."

Shen Yunrou tugged on Shen Ruyi's sleeve with an embarrassed and anxious expression: "Sister! I'm ignoring you!"

Shen Ruyi hurriedly waved her hand: "Okay, I won't talk anymore, come on, let's see if there is anything you like here, if not, let my sister make it up for you later."

Saying that, she pulled Shen Jiamei again: "This is my cousin. She also has a role in arranging things in the garden. If you have anything to do later, you can also find my third sister."

"Another beautiful girl." Miss Wang stretched out her hand and pinched Shen Jiamei's cheek. Shen Jiamei had a sweet mouth and smiled immediately: "My sister is more beautiful, I like her very much."

When Shen Ruyi talked with these people just now, she has already noticed that this Miss Wang still has some status. When she spoke, several people praised her to save face, and her status should be quite high.

Shen Ruyi didn't give herself a chance. Since she was so smart, could it be possible that she wouldn't be able to find opportunities by herself?

"You handed us over to your two younger sisters, what are you going to do?" Someone asked with a smile, Shen Ruyi's eyes widened: "Don't you want to have some snacks or, drink some tea?"

"Do you want to make it by yourself?" Miss Zhao immediately asked, and Shen Ruyi shook her head: "That's no good, the dim sum is still fresh and delicious, I can't go to the kitchen right now, I don't say if I can make it, I went, but If you want to disturb the work of the cooks, then, let alone dim sum, you might not even be able to eat lunch."

"Isn't there a maid for that dim sum? What are you going to do?" Miss Zhao asked relentlessly, and Shen Ruyi sighed: "Okay, if you catch me, it means that if I don't tell the truth today , I can’t leave, can I?”

Miss Zhao clenched her fists and acted arrogantly: "You're smart! Tell me honestly, or else, you'll be served by scratching your itch!"

"Don't, don't, I'll say it." After being scratched twice, Shen Ruyi couldn't hold back her laughter immediately. The girls were all young and playful. Ruyi resisted, laughing and making a fuss.

The process of the birthday banquet is basically just a few steps - the guests pay birthday respects, the younger generation of the family present birthday gifts, lunch, listen to a play, and then spread out the stalls.Generally speaking, the birthday presents given by the younger generation are to show the filial piety and talents of their children and grandchildren to the outside world.

Shen Ruyi took the girls to play in the garden for a long time, and the maid came to invite her and Shen Yunrou and Shen Jiamei.The girls who come to visit can also go to visit. When there are many people, you don't have to worry too much about the defense of men and women.

Arranged according to age, Shen Mingrui from the second room first presented a painting drawn by himself. In all fairness, a 13-year-old is considered a young man. The painting is so-so, neither outstanding nor ugly.

The boys gave basically the same things, either their own writing or their own drawings, and even Shen Mingxiu, the head of the house, only gave a piece of big characters.Shen Mingxiu is only seven years old now, he is chubby, simple and honest, probably related to Aunt Wang's teachings, his smile makes people feel sweet from the bottom of his heart.

However, the old lady just didn't like it a little, so she just hummed and asked someone to pick up the piece of paper, and she didn't say anything.Shen Mingxiu felt a little wronged, looked around, Aunt Wang's status was naturally not allowed to appear on the stage, Shen Houye, a big man, was not good at comforting Shen Mingxiu, and Shen Yunrou couldn't go past his elders.

Mrs. Shen hurriedly beckoned. Fortunately, Aunt Wang took Shen Mingxiu to pay her respects on weekdays. Mrs. Shen still loved Shen Mingxiu, so at this moment, Shen Mingxiu ran to Mrs. Shen's side, cuddled up to Mrs. Shen and pouted and called mother .

Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand to touch Shen Mingxiu's head: "Mingxiu's handwriting is really good, haven't you been practicing for a long time?" Shen Mingxiu is not very old, but he is not too young. Mrs. Shen can no longer hug her.

"Well, I practiced that one for two months." Shen Mingxiu said with his fingers, Shen Houye looked at the old lady, and the old lady hurriedly said: "The writing is really good, you are still young, it is already very good to be able to write like this, Ruyi, Ming Xiu practiced hard for two months and wrote a letter for you, what birthday gift did you prepare for me?"

"Grandma, I made you a piece of clothing with my own hands. See if you like it." Shen Ruyi stepped forward with a smile, and picked up the clothes on the maid's tray for the old lady to see: "I specially made this material. I chose the softest one, and I embroidered the flowers on it myself, but my craftsmanship is not as good as my mother's, and the embroidery is a bit unsightly, I hope grandma doesn't mind."

"I don't mind." The old lady tugged at the corners of her mouth, telling the servant girl to quickly put away the clothes.Mrs. Zheng, who was sitting behind Mrs. Shen, said with a smile: "Miss Shen is really humble. I looked at the needle and thread. It's really good. The embroidered flowers are as fresh as alive. Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Did the girl learn double-sided embroidery from you?"

Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "She is still young, but she just learned some superficial skills. Besides, people like us don't expect girls to do needlework to support the family in the future. They just make clothes for the elders in the family. I didn't intend to teach her, but I didn't expect that she was interested in it, and secretly practiced for a while, but I couldn't help it, so I taught her a little bit."

"Young lady is really smart." Compliments came one after another, Mrs. Shen smiled even brighter, and even Lord Shen also showed some smiles on his face, and nodded invisibly, and those who spoke knew it in their hearts He even praised Shen Ruyi in succession.

Shen Yunrou copied a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures with her own hands, she was not brilliant, well-behaved, but not a big mistake.

"Grandmother, I bought you a Jade Buddha. Although I didn't make it myself, I bought it with all my money. It's also my heart. Grandma, please see if you like it." Shen Jiamei is very clever, after paying her respects, she went to the old lady to act like a baby, the old lady nodded, asked someone to take the box, took it out with her own hands, looked at it, and nodded again and again: "Very good, I like it very much, you Have a heart."

Mrs. Shen Er smiled and said: "At first she wanted to be a forehead wiper, but later she felt that her needlework was too ugly, so she thought about copying Buddhist scriptures again, but unexpectedly, Yunrou also copied Buddhist scriptures, so she couldn't do it." He snatched it from her second sister. So, she took out all the money she had saved over the years and bought this Jade Buddha."

Mrs. Shen frowned slightly, was she praising Shen Jiamei by stepping on Shen Yunrou?Now that Shen Yunrou is her own daughter, she can't just watch Shen Yunrou being bullied. Immediately, Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "What the second sister-in-law said seems to be that our Yunrou is bullying my sister. In order to copy these Buddhist scriptures, Yunrou can't It started half a year ago, I had to bathe and burn incense every night, and I only started copying after worshiping the Buddha, and only vegetarian at night, this kind of heart, it was enshrined in front of the Buddha."

People started transcribing it half a year ago, when did you start asking about it?Furthermore, the second girl eats vegetarian food every night, and then takes a bath and burns incense. Your wife who is the head of the second room has never heard of it?Then let his daughter also copy Buddhist scriptures?
Who stole whose idea?

Anyway, she was about to tear her face apart, so Mrs. Shen didn't want to maintain peace with the second lady any more, and said what she had to say.Second Madam Shen's complexion suddenly became a little ugly. She thought that Madam Shen would have to take care of her face in public, and besides, Shen Yunrou was just a concubine, so even if Madam Shen recorded her in her name, it was just a hindrance Because of Lord Shen Hou's affection for Aunt Wang, he wanted to appease Aunt Wang and please Lord Shen Hou.

Unexpectedly, for such a concubine, Mrs. Shen would actually slap her in the face in public.

"Okay, okay, Yunrou is also a filial child." In order to prevent her birthday party from being messed up, the old lady stepped forward decisively to smooth things over, and she gave a rare smile: "Jiamei is still young, it is very uncomfortable to think of this." It's easy, Yunrou is also a sincere person, and she is a filial child. I see it's getting late, shouldn't it be time for us to have lunch?"

"Ah, it was all my negligence." Mrs. Shen patted her forehead hurriedly and stood up: "If you get hungry, it's my fault. It's really time for lunch now, everyone, let's take a seat Bar?"

Marquis Shen got up first, glanced at Second Master Shen and Third Master Shen, gestured with his hand, turned and walked out, the boys hurriedly followed, the male guests were still waiting in the outer courtyard.

On Madam Shen's side, she arranged for the female relatives to be seated, and Shen Ruyi led the little girls to their seats.

Shen Ruyi is not very interested in things like watching operas. Some people like it, and they can listen to any singing style mesmerizingly. Some people don't like it, and they can't understand it.

Fortunately, Shen Yunrou still likes watching movies.So the two sisters split up, one took the girls who didn't like to go to the theater to play in the garden, and the other took the girls who liked to watch the theater to accompany the old ladies and wives to the theater.

"Let's play drums and pass flowers!" Miss Zhao helped out with ideas, and most of them passed, so Shen Ruyi asked someone to bring silk flowers and small drums over, and the sound of drums rang immediately.Shen Ruyi was smiling when she saw Xia Bing tiptoeing behind a tree and beckoning to her.Shen Ruyi couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, the tree was only an inch thick, it really couldn't block your body.

"What's the matter?" Shen Ruyi got up, walked over and patted Xia Bing, telling her to stand still: "Did Mother Lu ask you to come here?"

Xia Bing hurriedly nodded vigorously: "Yes, Nanny Lu said, Chunhua sent someone to send a message, girl, are you going there now or after the banquet is over..."

"Let's go now. Didn't the second lady decide to do it tonight? Let's arrest him earlier so that my mother won't suffer at that time. Has the manpower been arranged? Has the front yard been disturbed?"

Shen Ruyi asked in a low voice, and Xia Bing shook her head quickly: "I didn't disturb the front yard, girl, aren't you the one who is looking for Lord Hou? Those women may have done it, and their mouths are also very tight. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. From the beginning to the end, they just do what Nanny Lu says, and after we arrest him, lock him up as we agreed before?"

Shen Ruyi nodded: "I can only lock it up first. In my father's heart, after all, he still misses the brotherhood. He can agree to let the second room be separated, but he will not agree to let the second room be completely discredited. He has done too much. Just by losing the second wife's face, everyone in the second room will be implicated. Besides, your girl and I also have a clear grievance. These things were all done by the second lady herself, and Shen Mingrui and the others It doesn't matter, I don't have the heart to let them be implicated by the second lady, and they can't even keep their future."

Xia Bing's face was touched: "The girl is really kind-hearted. If the servants are replaced, their family will fall apart if they don't make trouble."

Shen Ruyi smiled quietly. After this matter is settled, if the second room will not fall apart, I am afraid that the second wife will be in danger in the second room.Not to mention whether the second master would hate her, even Shen Mingrui and the others probably wouldn't care about it in the slightest.The young master of the Hou's family and the young master of the servant's family are people from two worlds.

Sometimes, not being held accountable does not mean that there is no punishment.
