Rebirth of an Abandoned Woman

Sang Wan complained secretly, she had never been in charge of the family affairs, and the New Year was about to come, cleaning and arrangement, ancestral hall sacrifices, banquets between relatives and friends, various rewards from family members, and the family's eating, clothing and decorations. Everything has been handled by her, even with the help of Nanny Li, Xingzhi, Liuya, etc., the ladies in charge still have to find some mistakes from time to time, and they are already very busy. Sanfang came back at this time, the master and slave Don't you have to arrange everything with her? It's fine if they are talkative and considerate, if they are like Shi Yumei and his wife, they will never have a good life this year!

"I didn't say anything in the letter. Let's read it when they come back! The third child and the others are the same. They don't write a letter early when they come back. It's this time. Fortunately, they are on their way!" Wang sighed.

Shi Fengju pointed at the letter and said with a smile: "Mother, you have wronged my third uncle. This letter was sent two and a half months ago. It must be that something happened on the way that delayed the letter!" Shi Fengju raised his eyebrows slightly, "Maybe Third Uncle and the others are also delayed on the road, we have to pack up the house quickly, who knows when it will be there!"

"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Wang said to Sang Wan: "Wanniang, work harder, and ask someone to make arrangements when you get back later! Your third uncle and third aunt haven't come back for seven or eight years, so don't let them feel Feeling aggrieved, it’s not nice to say it out!"

Although Mrs. Wang has a grudge against the third master Shi Guanghui and Mrs. Zhang, she is a family after all, and she will never treat anyone badly in the big picture.

"Yes...mother!" Sang Wan bowed her knees and agreed calmly, this was originally her duty, and she couldn't escape it anyway.

"I remember that my third uncle and my aunt lived in Qinghui Garden before. The garden has been vacant for so many years and can't be cleaned in a short while, and it has been deserted for a long time. Why don't we choose another place and clean it up for them to live temporarily. Let's make plans in the coming year!" Shi Fengju said with a smile.

"Well," Mrs. Wang said with some hesitation, "it's not very good. They have always lived in Qinghui Garden. The courtyards elsewhere are not as spacious as Qinghui Garden. If they change places, will they not agree?" Are you happy? It’s almost New Year’s Eve, don’t make trouble at home, it’s unlucky!”

"Third uncle and three aunts are not like this kind of people, mother, you worry too much!" Shi Fengju said with a smile: "Qinghui Garden has three yards, and there are dozens of rooms, big and small, just to remove dust and clean them. It took several days, and the weeds and flowers in the yard had to be cleaned and trimmed, the doors and windows were old, the window paper, and the door curtains had to be replaced, not to mention the decoration of the home. When would this take? Maybe? Wouldn't it be even more unsightly if they came back without doing it well?"

Mrs. Wang was also embarrassed for a while, and felt a little regretful. If she knew this, she shouldn't have locked up the Qinghui Garden in a fit of anger. She didn't take care of it for so many years, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten it. It's so busy now.

"Okay!" Mrs. Wang is also a housekeeper. Thinking about Qinghui Garden, which is so big and has been put on hold for so many years, how easy is it to renovate? It's really embarrassing for Sang Wan! Then he nodded and said: "Then, first prepare Ji Cui Xuan and let them stay temporarily!"

Ji Cui Xuan is on the southeast side of the garden, facing the peony garden. It is a small independent courtyard. It is cleaned on weekdays, and only simple decoration is allowed. There are eight rooms in the house, and it must be enough for just people. They came back from thousands of miles, and they probably didn't have much luggage, even if there was too much, it would be a big deal to put it in the warehouse. As for the servants, they only live in a few close-fitting rooms, and the rest are arranged to live in the servants' rooms in the mansion.

"What mother said is that, I also think Ji Cui Xuan is suitable. By the way, the two younger sisters are not young now, and I'm afraid they won't live with the third uncle and third aunt. We have to arrange another place for them to live in."

What a hassle! Wang frowned involuntarily, waved his hand impatiently and said: "I don't care about this, you can figure it out!"

Shi Fengju said with a smile: "The Hanshuang Pavilion to the east of Jicuixuan is not small, that's where it is! The two sisters expected that there would be only four or five nurses and maidservants, and it's not crowded at all."

Mrs. Wang nodded with a smile, and said to Sang Wan with a smile: "You heard that, Wan Niang, just follow the arrangement later! Hurry up! And, among other things, the bed curtains and the charcoal fire have to be ready. It's really cold this winter! I don't know how many clothes they brought, so let's prepare two sets for each!"

Sang Wan didn't care about anything else and just agreed, so she had to go back and ask Mother Li and the others in detail. Now her eyes are so dark that she doesn't even know whether the three-bedroom uncle and the two younger sisters are round or flat, tall, short, fat or thin.

"Don't just promise, do things well! The third uncle and the third aunt have come back after so many years, don't let them have grudges in their hearts! Siblings and sisters, you should be more considerate!" Shi Yumei Couldn't help but interrupted again.

"What your eldest sister said is that the others should be handed over to the subordinates in advance, and they have only been focusing on this for the past few days!" Wang Shi couldn't help but nodded.

"Yes, mother, Wanniang knows!" Sang Wan hurriedly responded.

Shi Yumei glanced at Shi Fengju, and then said lightly: "Since you have said it, you must do it well. Fengju finally rested at home for a few days, so don't push everything to him when you go back! These things should not be done." He is worried! Second brother, you are really a mother-in-law. Mother didn’t ask you just now. Where did you talk so much! I remember that you used to ignore these housework! "

Mrs. Wang didn't feel distressed either, she glared at Shi Fengju and said angrily, "Don't meddle in women's affairs, just rest well! If Ning Yuan is in a panic, you come to mother's place, you can do whatever you want People bother you!"

"Mother! Eldest sister! What are you talking about!" Shi Fengju was angry and funny, "Third uncle and third aunt are also my elders, I'm just trying to come up with an idea, and I'll be exhausted anywhere! Besides, Wan Mother has been in our house for less than a year, how does she know the temperament and preferences of the third uncle and the third aunt, how does she know how to arrange it, shouldn't I mention a few words!"

"Mother didn't say you shouldn't," Wang said with a smile, "I just want you not to be tired!" Then he asked him if he had eaten the ginseng and blood swallow sent by someone a few days ago on time?

Where would Shi Fengju go to eat these? He just said "eat!" vaguely, then changed the subject, only said that it was getting late, and dragged Sang Wan away.

"Mother, you don't care!" Shi Yumei said angrily: "Look at the second brother, he cares about his wife in everything, and don't allow others to talk about it! People marry a wife to serve him, so it's better for him to marry a daughter-in-law." The daughter-in-law will come back and make an offering as a bodhisattva!"

"Oh, that's fine, what time are you still talking about?" Wang frowned and thought for a while, wondering: "Tell me, your third uncle and third aunt, why are you back so well! The letter didn't say why!"

"..." Shi Yumei was speechless for a moment, her mother's thoughts were not on the same line as hers.

"How would I know!" Shi Yumei said in dismay, "I won't know until they come back!"

Wang groaned silently, and for a moment she didn't know what it was like. She always cared about Sanfang getting this official position. It was better when they were not at home, so she just pretended it didn't happen. If this is going back to the hometown and occupying all the scenery, then all the benefits will be taken away by their third house! Mrs. Zhuang found out, so she might laugh at her! Unobtrusively imagining in her mind, Wang felt even more unbearable.

"Mother Jiang," Wang turned her head and called out, "Prepare two sets of my clothes and jewelry!"

It means that preparing two sets of the best and most decent ones should not be underestimated.

Mother Jiang has worked closely with her for decades, so of course she understood what she meant, and immediately bowed and answered "Yes" resoundingly.

On the way back to Ningyuan, Shi Fengju persuaded Sang Wan in a low voice: "Don't take those words of elder sister to heart!"

Sang Wan glanced at him when she heard the words, nodded with a smile and said: "She is right in what she said, she cares about you!" For Sang Wan, whose immunity was gradually increasing after her harsh training, it was nothing at all. More importantly, the mother-in-law didn't care much, and she didn't take it to heart.

Shi Fengju smiled and said: "Don't worry, the third uncle and the third aunt finally came back. As a junior, I shouldn't stay out of the matter. Let's handle this matter together. In fact, it's just lip service, and the matter will be handled by the subordinates." .”

Sang Wan gave him a grateful smile and nodded, "Yeah", and took the opportunity to ask: "Third uncle and three aunts, where are you an official? Why have they been in the house for half a year, and they have never been mentioned by anyone."

Even Nanny Li never mentioned it to her. In her previous life, although she knew that there was a third wife and that they had come back, she had already been left out in the side courtyard at that time and had never seen them at all. As for their affairs, even though they have been human for two lifetimes, it is still dark.

Shi Fengju smiled helplessly when she heard her question, of course no one in the Xindao family dared to say it, who would have the guts to offend my mother and second aunt? The mother and the second aunt mostly disagree on other matters, but this matter coincides with each other. I wish that the traces of Sanfang in the house will disappear completely, and it is best that no one remembers them!

He said: "The third uncle has been an official in Sichuan. When he first went there, he was the county magistrate of Zengkou County. Two years ago, he was promoted to the magistrate of Bazhou. They have been away from home for seven or eight years. How can people in the house talk about them?" What! Hehe, the third uncle and the third aunt are actually very nice people, they are very kind to others, and there are two younger sisters, the second sister is sixteen this year, and the fourth sister should be ten years old. "

Speaking of the two younger sisters, Shi Fengju hardly had any impression of them. After all, after so many years, who knows what their temperament is now?

Sang Wan couldn't help feeling a little dizzy, and subconsciously thought of Shi Yumei, if these two eldest ladies are superior to others because they are "Miss Officials" now, and they are not out of the cabinet, it would be more expensive, and acting coquettishly can only compare to Shi Yumei. Yumei is even better!

Sang Wan groaned in her heart, why did this unlucky thing happen to me!
