Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 5

In the past two days, Mrs. Shen has always looked at Shen Ruyi and hesitated to speak. Shen Ruyi knew that the words she said before probably had an effect.Faced with Mrs. Shen's pitiful appearance, Shen Ruyi could only force herself to look away, not to look or think.

Anyway, I can't be soft-hearted. It's just a matter of a few days to make my mother sad.But if he was not ruthless, he would have killed his mother and nanny.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Shen Ruyi had refused before, Huang Keer still sent an invitation.

Holding the invitation card, Shen Ruyi sighed: "Look, even a handkerchief like me who handed in the [-]th and [-]th Five-Year Plans knows that Mid-Autumn Festival will send a post, a few months of cakes, and neighbors will also congratulate the Mid-Autumn Festival when they meet. , to send some fruit and snacks, but the Hou Mansion has nothing. Not only this Mid-Autumn Festival, but even during the Chinese New Year, let alone a boxing ceremony, there is never even a greeting."

Mrs. Shen was a little embarrassed: "Your father is Lord Hou, and he also has an errand..."

"Yes, he has an errand and is busy. As a marquis, how can he stay in the backyard all day to give a gift to someone? But he always has the time to give orders." Shen Ruyi He sneered, "Yuanwai Huang ordered several sets of jewelry for Aunt Huang before the Mid-Autumn Festival at the Silver House."

Mrs. Shen pinched her handkerchief and was speechless. Originally, Shen Ruyi said such a thing, she must punish Shen Ruyi for copying the women's commandments.In the past, Shen Ruyi would be obedient and obedient.But it doesn't work now, she said last time that she would be punished, and Ruyi hasn't written a word yet.

When Ruyi is obedient, what she says carries weight.But Ruyi is disobedient, and Mrs. Shen has nothing to do, she is just such a girl, she wished she could hold her in her hand and keep her mouth in her mouth all day long, not to mention beating and scolding, she would not even bear to say a serious word.

Copying the women's commandment is the heaviest punishment, at most, the number of times of copying is different.

Unable to beat or scold, Mrs. Shen was at a loss, she hesitated to look at Nanny Chen, and Nanny Chen hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't be angry, Madam, I can't figure it out now, you can figure it out in a few days." Understood."

Mrs. Shen was dumbfounded, she didn't mean that.

"I hope my mother can really understand, don't go back to the Hou's mansion, and still blindly think that the Hou is really a nostalgic, when the time comes, we will die without knowing it." Shen Ruyi glanced at Mrs. Shen, sighed and said.

These words were a bit heavy, and Madam Shen's face lost all color in an instant: "Ruyi, how can you say that? Your father..."

"Mother wants to say, he is not such a cruel person?" Shen Ruyi smiled, and Mrs. Shen nodded hurriedly: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, and your father is not such a wicked person. I wanted to tell you last time." , you are worried that after you go back, your father will make a random betrothal, this is impossible, your father will not want the reputation of selling a daughter for glory..."

"Mother, a hypocrite is more terrifying than a real villain." Shen Ruyi interrupted her, frowning a little unhappy: "He can't afford the reputation of selling girls for glory, but he can find me a girl who is rosy on the outside and rotten on the inside." You only think about yourself. These years, you have lived such a life in Zhuangzi. Is your marriage good or bad? You married a Marquis. Before, did many people say that you are Blessed?"

Mrs. Shen's lips moved. Her father died early, and the orphan and widow depended on each other. If the old Hou Ye hadn't kept his promise, her marriage would have been ruined.Before she got married, many people in the neighborhood said she was very lucky.

However, as soon as Lord Hou passed away...

Just like what Mother Chen said, she has been a widow for ten years, so is it possible that she still wants her daughter to follow her old path and continue to be a widow for ten years?But the female precepts also say that if a husband does not control his wife, his prestige will be ruined;If he disobeyed his husband, it would be against the righteousness of heaven and earth.

But she also can't lose her daughter, without her husband, at most she will be a widow like she is now.But without her daughter, what's the point of her being alive?
"Ruyi, don't be annoyed, mother has figured it out." Seeing Shen Ruyi turned around to leave, Mrs. Shen hastily held her back: "Mother really wants to understand, you are mother's darling, mother's most important thing." Man, no matter what time it is, mother values ​​you the most, and mother will not let anyone hurt you."

Shen Ruyi's eyes lit up immediately: "Mom, do you really want to understand? What if father said, let the two of us go back home quietly?"

Mrs. Shen was a little puzzled: "Could it be that we have to go back with great fanfare?"

The corner of Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched, and then she thought, forget it, it's already a big change for Mother to tell you the kind of flower before.It's better than listening to that man in everything in my previous life.

Her personality is already like this, and now she says she wants to change, and she won't be the same as before right away.

"Naturally, we need to make a big splash. You are the original wife of the father, and I am the eldest daughter of the Hou family. We didn't make a mistake and left the house. Why do we have to go back quietly like apologizing?" Shen Ruyi smiled, stretched out her hand and pinched Madam Shen's palm: "You have the heart, when people mention me in the future, they will say that I am the one who can't stand in the Hou family?"

Although she didn't understand how to get in touch with going back quietly and not being able to get on the stage, Mrs. Shen knew that she had to follow her girl's words at the moment: "That's definitely not possible, you are the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, why don't you You have to have some style, too."

Shen Ruyi's smiling eyes were all bent, seeing Mrs. Shen laughing--after seeing the face of her good daughter for a few days, now that she finally saw a smiling face, her heart felt sore and soft.This is my most precious daughter, how could I let her be sad?
Not to mention asking her to violate the commandment for women, even if it was to kill and set fire for her daughter, she would still do it.

"Mother, can you tell me now, why did you take me out of the Marquis Mansion? By the way, why did you marry that...marry my father? Grandfather's family is not a prominent place. People, right?" Shen Ruyi leaned against Madam Shen affectionately, these days Madam Shen is cold, not only is she uncomfortable, but she is also uncomfortable.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Shen still looked a little unnatural, but she was no longer as silent as before: "The marriage between your father and I was settled when your grandfather and your grandfather were alive. Although your grandfather came from a poor family , but he was smart since he was a child. Before he was thirty, he became a third-rank household servant. According to this trend, it is safe to enter the cabinet at forty. Your grandfather admired your grandfather very much, so he made an appointment for me and your father. Dear."

"It's just that your father doesn't like me very much. It was okay when your grandfather was around. After your grandfather passed away, he sent our mother and son to Zhuangzi on the grounds of keeping filial piety." Mrs. Shen was a little embarrassed and said this to her daughter. The matter between the husband and wife is really a bit tight.

But in the past two days, my daughter has suddenly become very... how should I put it, as if she is very imposing, and she speaks out all the words without knowing it.

Shen Ruyi didn't know the doubts in Mrs. Shen's heart, she breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, let's just say, with her mother's temperament, it is unlikely that she made a mistake and was kicked out of the house.Since it is in the name of keeping filial piety, the reason for going back is fair and aboveboard.

After keeping the filial piety for ten years, if the Hou Mansion really wants to save face, then maybe he and his mother will have the advantage when they go back.In this life, she must not be taken back quietly like the previous life.I don't know, I thought it was me and my mother who committed a crime.

"Mother, when do you think it's better for us to return to the Marquis' Mansion?" After thinking for a while, Shen Ruyi turned her head and asked, Madam Shen hesitated: "Do you really want to go back? After going back, life will be very...very troublesome Yes, I have to get up early every day to pay my respects, and I have to deal with the sisters-in-law and sisters in the mansion. There are many things, and we live in Zhuangzi, so we can be free, isn't it great?"

"Mother, I also like to live in Zhuangzi. It's just the two of us. We can wake up whenever we want every day, eat whatever we want, and don't need to greet others or intrigue. But mother, I'm thirteen this year. , in three years, I will be married. After the ceremony, I will get married. If it is possible, I also want to never marry for the rest of my life, and just stay with my mother, but the Hou Mansion will let me be so useful Don’t use your chess pieces?”

Shen Ruyi was helpless, leaning on Mrs. Shen's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Or, my mother and I will become a Taoist nun? But even if I go to be a Taoist nun, if my father says anything, I have to return to vulgarity immediately and follow him back to the house. Instead of waiting Let him take the initiative to come to the door, we don't know anything, why don't we go back by ourselves."

"Speaking of which, what's the matter with you? Ever since you woke up, you have always believed that your father will marry you to a bad person in the future." Mrs. Shen frowned slightly, and reached out to touch Shen Ruyi's forehead: "You used to I never said anything about getting married, every girl said it was bad, so don't mention it in the future, you know?"

"I don't want to mention it either. Didn't I just talk to my mother?" Shen Ruyi hugged Mrs. Shen's arm: "When I was sick, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that my father took us back to Hou. House. At first, my mother and I were very happy, and we thought it was the end of all hardships. But I didn’t expect that my father wanted me to marry a very cruel person. My father was reluctant to part with my aunt’s younger sister, so he took me To do favors..."

Mrs. Shen opened her mouth wide with shock on her face: "Well, you think too much, your father..."

"Mother, you haven't seen your father for ten years. How can you be sure that he will never do such a thing? Compared with my aunt's younger sister, I have never gotten along with my father. One is kept in the palm of my hand. Bao, one is a weed growing on the farm, if you were a father, which daughter would you prefer?" Shen Ruyi looked up at Mrs. Shen, and asked slowly: "One is a child born to a beloved woman, and the other is If you were the father of a child born to an annoying woman, which one would you prefer?"
