Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 2

In her previous life, Shen Ruyi never asked these questions.Because if you ask, the consequences will be serious, just like this moment.Shen Ruyi helplessly handed a handkerchief to Mrs. Shen to wipe her tears: "Mother, don't cry, I'm just asking? If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

Mrs. Shen was sobbing and crying for half an hour, she almost passed out from crying.

Shen Ruyi couldn't help but sigh: "Mother, don't cry all the time. Crying can't solve the problem. I've grown up too. You should tell me about the things in the house. Otherwise, I'll go back someday." , I don’t even know how many people there are in the mansion, if I make a mistake, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?”

"There are a lot of people in the house." Mrs. Shen finally said, "Your grandmother is fifty-six this year, and you won't admit it wrong. Your father has three brothers, and you have two uncles. Five points are similar, your two uncles, one is 23 years old and the other is [-], you can tell just by looking at them, your second uncle is older and has a beard."

What Mrs. Shen said was irrelevant. Shen Ruyi had met these people in her previous life, but, in order to attract Mrs. Shen to talk more, she still acted very interested: "Then I have brothers and sisters?" ?”

Madam Shen's complexion immediately changed, she was pale. If it was in the past, Shen Ruyi must have changed the topic as she did in her previous life.But at this moment, she can't be distracted. Mother always thinks that no one can hurt her when she shrinks, but she doesn't know that those people can break her shell open.Besides, her shell is really too small, even she can barely protect herself, so how can she accommodate herself?
But this, if you don't say it, my mother will never think of it.It's not that she never thought about taking her mother far away from this place and running to a place where the Shen family can't find it. However, she is Shen Zhengxin's daughter, and unless she dies, she will not be able to escape for the rest of her life.Moreover, where can they escape to, orphans and widows?
"Mother, do I have brothers and sisters?" Shen Ruyi asked again: "Does my father not like me? After all these years, he has never come to see us at Zhuangzi, has he forgotten us?"

Mrs. Shen forced a smile and shook her head: "No, your father, he's just busy..."

Shen Ruyi suddenly realized and nodded: "Just like Fang Qin's father in Qianjie? But Fang Qin's father is in business, so is my father also in business? Didn't you say that he belongs to Lord Hou? Master Hou is a great official, right? You don’t need to do business, do you?”

"Although he doesn't need to do business, there are quite a few Zhuangzi shops in the Hou's mansion, and he has to take care of them." Mrs. Shen seemed to have found an excuse for herself, but Shen Ruyi didn't want her to lie to herself: "Really? Then Does the Zhuangzi we live in also belong to the Hou Mansion? Then why didn’t the father come to take care of the Zhuangzi? Mother, tell me, did the father marry another lady?”

Mrs. Shen couldn't hold back her smile, and raised her hand to pat her daughter: "What nonsense! How can your little girl say such things?"

"However, Fang Qin's father hasn't come back for a long time. It's because he married another woman outside. Fang Qin's father came back last time and said that he wants to grow up at both ends!" Shen Ruyi curled her lips: "Mother, both ends are big What do you mean? Fang Qin's mother only gave birth to her, and now her father has said that if she is not allowed to enter the house, Fang Qin's mother will be divorced."

Mrs. Shen's body trembled, and Shen Ruyi sighed again: "Mother, tell me, does father have many, many wives?"

"Don't talk nonsense, there can only be one lady." Madam Shen pursed her lips and rubbed Shen Ruyi's head with her hand: "Fang Qin's father is confused, if he really made two big ones, he would have to sue Yes. Your father, being polite, would never do that."

"If there is no wife, there must be many concubines!" Shen Ruyi glanced at Mrs. Shen, and sighed with her chin on her shoulders: "Just like Yuanwai Huang, there are thirteen concubines! Yuanwai Huang loves the eighth aunt the most, for the sake of the eighth aunt, He can even beat his own daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Shen frowned slightly, and stretched out her hand to poke Shen Ruyi's forehead: "What's the matter with you today? Why do you keep saying such things?"

"Mother, I'm worried." Shen Ruyi said leisurely: "The two of us live in Zhuangzi, and we haven't seen our father for many years. Tell me, does he have many concubines? Are we married?"

"No." Madam Shen shook her head, but the expression on her face was that even she was not sure.

"Mother, in a few years, it's time for me to hold the Jiji ceremony. Tell me, if my father doesn't remember the two of us, will my Jiji ceremony be held in this village?" Shen Ruyi moved her arm to the On Mrs. Shen's lap, slightly raised her head to look at Mrs. Shen: "When the time comes, who shall I ask to be the praiser?"

Even the bitter Madam Shen couldn't help laughing when she saw that cute look: "It's too early for you to think about this, your father will definitely take us back when the time comes. "

"However, we have never met my father. My father is definitely not close to me." Shen Ruyi pouted slightly, and Mrs. Shen shook her head: "No, you are father and daughter. Who does he love you? Don't worry."

"Mother, you haven't said why you live with me on Zhuangzi instead of in the Marquis's Mansion." Shen Ruyi shook her head, ah, as expected, mother is not enlightened, she has come to this point Why do you still trust that man?I can only take it slowly, but it's a pity that with my oil bottle, my mother can't make up even if she wants to.

Not to mention whether she is willing or not, but to say that after reconciling with her, she will definitely stay in the Shen family. For this alone, she will not even die willingly.

Mrs. Shen didn't answer Shen Ruyi's words, she was in a daze for a while, and then said with a smile: "Kids, don't ask so much. Didn't Ms. Huang post a post for you a few days ago, and she came to see you today?" ? Hurry up and dress up, and you can greet Miss Huang when she comes later."

"Ke'er is not an outsider." Shen Ruyi didn't move, stared at Mrs. Shen, and declared very seriously: "Mother, I am not a child anymore. In three years, I will be old. In five years, I will be old." Now that I can get married, I am no longer a child."

Mrs. Shen let out a chuckle, and nodded perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, you are not a child anymore, go in and dress up, the girl is old, it's time to learn how to dress up, let me dress you up?"

Before Shen Ruyi could speak, Mrs. Shen called Hongsi and ordered her to prepare some rouge powder.Although Mrs. Shen herself didn't use these much on weekdays, she had some preparations, and the red silk quickly went to get them.

Mrs. Shen was very interested in dressing Shen Ruyi. While looking through the boxes of rouge and powder, Shen Ruyi asked, "Mother, who will be in charge of my marriage in the future?"

"Of course it's your father." Mrs. Shen said with a smile, paused, and then said: "You are not allowed to say these things in the future, girls are family members, marriage matters, parents decide, you are not allowed to ask again, Otherwise, I will punish you for copying the female commandment."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Shen Ruyi hurriedly begged for mercy: "Ke'er likes to eat red bean cakes the most. Mother will let Liu Mama make a basket of red bean cakes later?"

Mrs. Shen agreed with a smile. Sometimes Shen Ruyi didn't understand her own mother.You can say she is weak, she is a woman with a child, and she has been able to live in Zhuangzi for so many years in peace.Although food and clothing are very average, at least there is no shortage of food and clothing.But you say she can do it, she always has no idea and asks people everything.Thanks to the fact that Nanny Chen and Hongsi Hongluo are loyal, otherwise, their mother and son might be dead right now.

Huang Keer came here in the future, as soon as she saw Shen Ruyi, she rushed over: "Ruyi Ruyi, I just got a set of jewelry, take a quick look, is it good-looking or not?" As she said, she lowered her head happily for Shen Ruyi to see Jewelry on your head.

Shen Ruyi is only 13 years old, and Huang Keer is 15 years old. Even if Huang Keer lowers her head, she has to tiptoe to see the top of Huang Keer's head.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Shen Ruyi praised sincerely: "Your hair is dark and your face is white and tender. Such beautiful jewelry must cost a lot of money?"

Huang Ke'er nodded with a smile: "Well, it cost me 100 taels of silver. If you add 50 taels more, you can also match a pair of earrings and two bracelets, but they are too expensive. I can't afford them. Come on, Ruyi, this For you."

Saying that, she took off the hairpin on her temples and gave it to Shen Ruyi, who waved her hand hurriedly: "I don't want it, it's so precious..."

"Oh, it's not expensive. We are good sisters. If you think it's precious, you can give me a purse. I like the purse you made the most." Huang Ke'er reached out and put the hairpin on Shen Ruyi, smiling. Turned around her twice: "It's so beautiful, it's worthy of being a gift from me, you have to wear it all the time."

Shen Ruyi also smiled, stretched out her hand to touch the hairpin, and no longer refused, she took Huang Keer's arm and walked into the yard: "I have copied the book you liked last time, and I copied it Do you want that book for you?"

Huang Ke'er nodded immediately: "Whatever you want, don't say whether the book is good or not, just Ruyi's handwriting is worth collecting. Speaking of which, you are younger than me, how can you write better than me? Is it still pretty?"

"Because I've practiced a lot." Shen Ruyi's eyebrows and eyes curved, Huang Ke'er was taken aback for a moment, and reached out to scratch Shen Ruyi's itch: "You say I'm lazy? You actually say I'm lazy?"

"I didn't say, you figured it out yourself." Shen Ruyi laughed and ran away, the two of them chasing each other into a mess.

Mrs. Shen was sitting by the window watching, she smiled and turned her head to talk to Nanny Chen: "Ruyi finally smiled, these past two days she doesn't know if it's because of the previous illness, she's always depressed, she's alone in a daze , looking at it now, it can be regarded as good."

"The girl has grown up and has her own concerns." Madam Chen replied implicitly. Madam Shen was stunned for a long time before sighing: "Yes, Ruyi has also grown up. In the blink of an eye, that's all. Years passed."
