Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 4

With a sharp pain in her heart, Shen Ruyi woke up with a start, and after a moment of stunned, she reached out to wipe the sweat off her forehead.Probably because I was angry with my mother today, I was a little angry, and I dreamed about my mother's death again.

Speaking of which, in her previous life, she was as naive as her mother. She grew up reading the female commandments and never doubted that man. As a result, in the end, she lost her mother and her nanny.

It was so painful that I stretched out my hand to tear away the fog in front of me and learned to grow.It's just that it's too late to regret.Every time I think about the lessons learned in exchange for my life, it hurts my heart.In particular, the lost life is still the closest person in my life.

After taking a breath, Shen Ruyi sat up, unable to fall asleep now, she simply got up and went to the table to pour a cup of tea.Chunhua, who was sleeping outside, heard the movement, and asked vaguely: "Girl, what's the matter? But do you need to clean your hands?"

Shen Ruyi replied in a low voice: "It's okay, you can continue to sleep, I'll drink a glass of water."

Chunhua stopped there for a while, and there was another rustling sound, and then she walked around the screen and took the teacup in Shen Ruyi's hand under the moonlight outside: "It's late at night, it's cold, the girl's illness It’s just right again, but you can’t drink cold water, I’ll go and mix some warm water for the girl, and wait a minute, girl.”

With that said, he took the teapot and went out.There is a small stove under the Baosha outside, and there is hot water simmering on it, and hot water is added to the cold water. Chunhua touched the teacup to make sure that the water was warm, and then brought it in for Shen Ruyi to drink.

After drinking water, Shen Ruyi still couldn't fall asleep, so she asked Chunhua to sleep with her: "Lie next to me, and you can talk to me."

Chunhua responded with a smile, went to hug her own quilt, and lay down on the outside.

"Chunhua, if one day, my mother and I return to the Hou's mansion, do you want to come with me?" Shen Ruyi asked in a low voice, Chunhua nodded, and then remembered that the bed curtain was put down, so she couldn't see, So he said, "Of course I follow the girl. Wherever the girl goes, I will go there."

Chunhua and Chunye were chosen by Mrs. Shen for Shen Ruyi after she came to Zhuangzi. Although the rules were not good, she was very kind to Shen Ruyi, simple and honest in heart.It was their luck that they did not follow into the Marquis' Mansion in their previous life.

Thinking of Shen Ruyi, he hesitated, there was no one around him, if he didn't bring the two of them in, he was afraid that he would be like his previous life, lonely and helpless.I just brought them in, and I haven't thought of a way to protect myself, so how can I be sure to protect them?
"Chunhua, you are not young anymore, so you never thought about finding someone to marry?" Shen Ruyi turned over and looked at Chunhua and asked. Let Shen Ruyi see the clue, she just faltered and said with a smile: "Girl is young, how can I ask such a thing? To be matched, the wife has to open the mouth. Besides, I want to spend more time with the girl. Year, girl, don't drive me away."

Shen Ruyi sighed: "My mother always deceives herself, she just thinks that my father didn't care about her all these years, but he didn't hurt her, and he will definitely not touch her in the future, let alone a tiger. But I always thought that if he could cruelly leave our mother and son here for ten years without asking, he might have no affection for our mother and daughter. When he returns to the Hou Mansion in the future, he doesn't know how he will torture us... ..."

"Girl, can't it?" Chunhua also hesitated: "Are they the real father and daughter..."

Shen Ruyi smiled wryly, look, even her personal servant girl didn't believe that man was a black-hearted man, it would be even more difficult for her mother to convince her to believe it.

"Why not? We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and he has a concubine and son. I'm just a girl, so why would he miss me? Look at the girls in Liu Laogen's family, That’s also personal.”

Chunhua still hesitated: "But I heard that the bigger the family, the more they want to save face. Liu Laogen's family is too poor, and they only have one son, so they regard girls as losers. But Hou The mansion is different, such a big Hou's mansion will not be short of a girl to eat."

"You don't understand, Liu Laogen's family has no money, so the family members just fight for a few bites of food. The Hou's mansion is rich, but they fight for more, jewelry, clothes, rouge, gouache, and marriage. Liu Laogen If you can sell their aunt for a few bags of grain, the Hou Mansion can sell me for a box of gold."

Shen Ruyi muttered in a low voice, Chunhua was a little surprised: "Girl, where did you hear this? You are still young, and you are still far away from getting married. Besides, marriage is not just about Marquis. One person has the final say, and there is also the wife, if the wife says no, then you still can't get married, you, don't worry, the lady is just a precious daughter like you, and she will definitely plan for you in the future. "

However, what Shen Ruyi said fell into Chunhua's heart after all.

When she woke up in the morning, after Shen Ruyi got up to wash and wash, she didn't have breakfast, and she didn't go to say hello to Mrs. Shen. She only brought a few books and led Chunye to the back mountain.Mrs. Shen waited in the main hall for a long time, and when she came back with such news, she felt a little bitter in her heart, and turned to look at Nanny Chen: "You said, Ruyi's disease, how did it become like this? You are so ignorant! "

Nanny Chen didn't say anything. After breakfast, she went to call Chunhua over: "When you girls went to the back mountain, you only brought a few books with you? Did you bring any snacks or something?"

Chunhua smiled and nodded: "I brought a few pieces of rose cakes. Don't worry, mama, the girl will not wrong herself. Besides, Chunye also has two hands. It's autumn now, just find a few fruits at will. I'm full."

Mother Chen gave her a white look: "Miss is just sick, how can I eat only fruit. Forget it, I will send someone to the back mountain to deliver some food later. Come and talk to my wife with me. Miss these two days, Something is not quite right."

Chunhua followed Nanny Chen into the house, bowed to Mrs. Shen, and sat on the pony pony in peace. While distributing embroidery threads to Mrs. Shen, she muttered the words Shen Ruyi said last night. The words came out: "The girl probably said something to Miss Huang. Miss Huang is indeed not young at that age. It's time to find someone else."

Mrs. Shen was holding the embroidery shed, and sat there dumbfounded.It took a long time before he asked, "Did she really say that?"

"Yes, the girl asked me if I wanted to go to the Marquis's Mansion with her. How could I not go? Both Chunye and I grew up watching the girl grow up. Madam is so kind to us, and we are not like that. Wait for the ungrateful." Chunhua nodded hurriedly, when Mrs. Shen and the girl came to the Zhuangzi, the time was not good, and the children in the family were hungry and cried day and night.

If Mrs. Shen hadn't promoted the two of them to be maidservants for the girl, the family would have starved to death.

Mrs. Shen waved her hand, signaling Chunhua to go out first, then turned to look at Nanny Chen: "Mommy, tell me, Ruyi just..."

Mother Chen sighed: "Ma'am, what the girl said is somewhat reasonable. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the girl. It is impossible for us to live in Zhuangzi for the rest of our lives. The girl is old, and although you teach me She reads and writes, but you are not a special foster mother. The girl is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion. If she doesn't know the slightest bit of etiquette, wouldn't it be a joke to go out? In this rural area, can you invite a foster mother? "

Seeing that Mrs. Shen didn't speak, Nanny Chen went on to say: "The most important thing is the girl's marriage. The girl is not young. If we are still in the Hou's mansion, we should be looking after her at this moment. No, you plan to marry the girl in this rural place? But even if you want to, and the girl agrees, it depends on whether the Hou family agrees. Lord Hou has never been a..."

He coughed lightly, and swallowed his evaluation of the male master: "If Master Hou wants to trade girls for power and benefits? It's not like you haven't seen it before. In this capital, it's not just a family or two who trade their daughters for things. .”

The daughters of the small households can still exchange a few bags of grain, and the daughters of the large households can even exchange a lot of things.

Madam Shen's face was pale, and she shook her head again and again: "No, no, Husband is not that kind of person..."

"Ma'am, at this point, are you still lying to yourself?" Madam Chen sighed, "I used to be reluctant to explain it to you because, if I understand it, life will be difficult."

Otherwise, how can I be confused?

"The girl was not enlightened before, and the servant just thought, the worst is you." Even if she married a bad family, the girl herself, like the wife, has imprinted the female commandments in her bones, and I am afraid that she will not feel that day. bitter.

But now, the girl figured it out, and she suddenly became enlightened, and Nanny Chen knew that Madam could not be the same as before.The girl thought better, the wife just couldn't help the girl, and she couldn't hold her back.

"But, my husband is heaven..." Mrs. Shen murmured, and Nanny Chen couldn't help sighing. My wife was also very smart when she was a child, how did she become like this?It's just that when she thinks of the deceased master and Mrs. Lu, Nanny Chen understands.

Master Lu passed away, and only Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu were left to depend on each other. At that time, Mrs. Lu had already made an engagement with Lord Hou.Mrs. Lu was afraid that her wife would be called ill-bred or her character was wrong because of the loss of her parents, so she would be dismissed by the Hou Mansion, so she detained her all day long to read the commandments for women. Silly?
"Ma'am, is it important for the girl or the Hou Ye? Are you going to watch the Hou Ye kill the girl?" Even if she couldn't bear it, Nanny Chen could only use these words to break Madam Shen's shell.

Mrs. Shen looked terrified: "No, my husband won't do this."

"If not, will he leave you and the girl in Zhuangzi for ten years, ignoring you, and leaving you to fend for yourself?" Mother Chen asked again, and Mrs. Shen shook her body twice, biting her tongue The teardrops of the morning finally fell.
