Rebirth of an Abandoned Woman

"Why don't you have good intentions?" Shi Fengju smiled, hugging her in his arms, staring at her affectionately, making her blushed and lowered her head.

"Wanniang, you are so beautiful!" Shi Fengju raised his head, caressing her blushing cheeks lovingly, met those water-melting, clear eyes, couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed her gently. .

When she woke up the next day, Sang Wan's body was still sore and unbearable, she moved slightly, and turned her head to look at him, but saw that Shi Fengju had already woken up and was looking at her with her eyes open! Seeing her watery eyes looking over, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, gently stroked her face and said with a low smile, "Are you awake?"

Sang Wan glared at him quietly, tilted her head and remained silent.

"Wan Niang!"

Shi Fengju was startled, hugged her and laughed out loud. Why is his little wife so cute!

In the blink of an eye, New Year’s Eve, before noon on New Year’s Eve, when the ancestors were to be worshiped, Sang Wan got up before dawn. All the maids and daughter-in-laws in charge came and went, opened the gate of the ancestral hall to clean and clean, received incense, paper money, oil lamps, and opened the storeroom for sacrifices. Washing the ancestor's utensils, the kitchen is busy cooking blessing meat, preparing dishes for ancestor worship, etc., it is very busy.

When the time comes, the whole family gathers inside and outside the ancestral hall, placing sacrifices and placing incense candles, all in a solemn and solemn manner. Since ancient times, women did not worship ancestors, and men did not worship stoves. After the preparations were completed, there was no business for Wang Shi, Sang Wan and others. From time to time, the second master led the men to worship their ancestors.

The Second Madam Shi looked inside, thinking of her son who was wandering outside and whose whereabouts were unknown, she couldn't help moistening her eyes again, and lifted the veil to wipe the corners of her eyes. Looking at Sang Wan, Shi Lian, etc., thinking of the daughter-in-law Zhou Jingyi who is still nesting in her mother's house, she couldn't help but feel even more angry, and hated that she must be brought back after the new year!

After worshiping the ancestors, everyone dispersed together, while Sang Wan stayed behind and instructed everyone to pack up, arranged for people to take turns guarding the ancestral hall, ordered a few words to carefully light the lights, then went to the main courtyard to report to Mrs. Wang, and then began to supervise the preparation of the New Year's Eve dinner up.

Spring Festival couplets, window grilles, etc. also need to be pasted and hung up after offering sacrifices to the ancestors. Maids from various courtyards received things from the lady in charge of this matter, and put them on with a smile. After a while, brand-new Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters and other red and festive things were pasted on the door lintels of the halls and halls of various houses in the mansion, which was extremely lively.

For dinner, of course they all had reunion dinner at Mrs. Wang's place. Because it was a festive and lively Chinese New Year, everyone went to the Wang family early. Shi Yuzhen, Shi Lian, Shi Yulin and other sisters were playing Shuanglu in the warm pavilion, guessing riddles and joking. A few were also playing cards in the side hall, while Shi Fengju and his two uncles were sitting together chatting.

The young Fenghua brothers were very curious, and they were very interested in the customs and customs of Shu, so they had to ask the third uncle. Master Shi San also valued his nephew very much, knowing that Shi Fenghua was going to take the imperial examination in the future, in addition to the customs and customs of Sichuan, some accidents in the officialdom also instilled in him a thing or two, and the uncle and nephew had a good chat. Master Shi Er was not interested in these things, he couldn't help but interrupted from time to time and brought the topic to his own birds and goldfish, and he talked endlessly, Shi Fengju and others were very helpless, so they could only listen to him patiently When it was over, those annoying birds and goldfish were gently taken away.

When twilight fell, Sang Wan came over and said with a smile that dinner was ready, everyone stopped what they were doing and got up to clean their hands.

Wang's sisters-in-law were killing them happily, so they ordered the maids to put them as they were and not to move, and come back after dinner!

"Wanniang, where's your elder sister and elder brother-in-law? Send someone to call them!" Yumei hurriedly gave orders when Wang's eyes swept away and she couldn't help complaining: "This child Yumei is the same, when I go back at noon I've told her all about it, why don't I have any memory at all!"

Sang Wan had no choice but to agree, and was about to order someone to go, when Shi Fengju saw Xiuchun standing aside and said to her: "Xiuchun, you go there! Just say that the eldest lady invited the eldest aunt and uncle to come over for dinner quickly!"

"Yes, young master!" Xiuchun bowed her knees and left.

Sang Wan met Shi Fengju's eyes, nodded and smiled gratefully at him. Sang Wan's scalp tingles subconsciously when she has anything to do with Shi Yumei and her husband. It's better to let the people around Wang go, so that Shi Yumei won't make things difficult for her people. If something happens to make mother-in-law unhappy, it is all my fault.

Shi Fengju smiled, and called Liu Ya to give some instructions, Liu Ya nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly ran out to chase Xiuchun.

Not long after Xiuchun came back, she smiled and said to Wang: "Ma'am, Eldest Uncle seems to have caught a cold and feels uncomfortable, maybe he won't be able to come. My Aunt and Grandma are staying in the banana garden to take care of them, so they won't come either!"

"Why don't you be careful when it's Chinese New Year!" Wang frowned without any doubts, and ordered: "Ask the kitchen to send them a few dishes, and see if it's serious. If it's serious, ask a doctor to take care of it." Look, prescribe the medicine and drink it!”

Xiuchun promised to go and order.

The whole family here is eating the New Year's Eve dinner lively, but the atmosphere in the banana garden is cold and tense. Shi Yumei and Ren Zhixian fell in love again.

Ever since he failed to buy things privately that day, Ren Zhixian has even blamed Shi Fengju and even Shi's family in his heart. When Shi Fenghua finally came back, he originally wanted to pull Shi Fenghua into his camp, drag him to talk about things, and show off his knowledge in front of him, hoping to win Shi Fenghua's admiration and admiration, so that he can prove that Show Wang Shi and Shi Fengju that he, Ren Zhixian, is definitely a talent! Fenghua asked them to come personally to ask him for advice!

But didn't Shi Fenghua know what was in his belly? It's just that he is the eldest brother-in-law, and he had to come over to say hello and perfunctory in the first two days when he came back, and then he refused to come again. Ren Zhixian sent someone to call him, but he also tried to evade in a different way. Ren Zhixian was very annoyed and hated He was blind and didn't know Taishan, so he stopped looking for him, but he didn't like Shi's family even more.

On New Year's Eve, Ren Zhixian knew that everyone was going to have a reunion dinner together, but he just didn't want to go, and he didn't allow Shi Yumei to go. He just wants to make people feel uncomfortable, disgusting and disgusting, and he just wants to make everyone unhappy!

No matter how much Shi Yumei persuaded or begged, he just refused to go. Shi Yumei became anxious, but she couldn't go alone if he didn't go, so she sat in the room with a cold face and anger.

When Xiuchun arrived, the two of them had just had a big fight.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, Xiuchun didn't dare to say anything, she put her hands aside and smiled and said, "Auntie, grandma, madam invites you and uncle to have the New Year's Eve dinner!"

When Ren Zhixian heard that Xiuchun ranked Shi Yumei's name ahead of his own, he obviously didn't take himself as the head of the family seriously, and couldn't help being even more angry, he snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Go back and tell your lady, we are not from the Shi family , it’s inconvenient to have the New Year’s Eve dinner with Shi’s family, so it’s free!”

Xiuchun was so embarrassed, she looked at Shi Yumei beggingly.

Seeing that she dared to ignore him, Ren Zhixian was even more annoyed, and shouted sharply: "Didn't you hear what I said? Don't leave!"

"Servant, servant, leave!" Xiuchun didn't dare to say anything, hurriedly saluted and retreated, before leaving, Yumei winked at Shi Yumei.

Shi Yumei got up and followed Ren Zhixian's scolding, and asked, "But what's the matter?"

Xiuchun then laughed and said: "The young master said, if the uncle is unwell, it's okay for you and the uncle not to go, and I will ask the kitchen to bring some dishes later."

Shi Yumei felt a burst of emotion and gratitude, she nodded and sighed softly: "Second brother was thoughtful, you go back and tell my mother, just say that the eldest son-in-law has a cold, so we can't go through! I will go to accompany you later. mother!"

"Yes, the servant girl will go first!" Xiuchun agreed, turned and left.

Shi Yumei stood at the door blankly and stared at Hongmei in the courtyard, lost her mind for a while, then went back to the house, facing Ren Zhixian with cold faces.

After a while, the sound of crackling firecrackers came, and the faint smell of food wafted in the air. People's laughter and laughter made Shi Yumei secretly sad, and her heart was extremely depressed.

Ren Zhixian sneered and said: "Who are you showing this to? No one is pulling or stopping you. You can go if you want! Hmph, if your family really wanted to invite us over, they wouldn't just send a The girl just said it casually and it's over!"

Shi Yumei couldn't help being furious, thinking otherwise? You live in our house and you are not a guest from outside. Would it be impolite to send someone to call you? My mother has to come to invite you in person!

"Actually, what you said is correct, we are the Ren family, not the Shi family, so we shouldn't have gone!" Shi Yumei glanced at him indifferently, her expression was not happy.

Ren Zhixian, who originally thought she would jump up in anger, was stunned. Ren Zhixian couldn't help feeling dark, thinking that this woman is getting more and more courageous, is it because this is her natal family and someone backs her up? More and more will be against me, more and more disobedient! What kind of daughter is really taught by someone, it's not fake at all!

After a while, the food was delivered from the kitchen, six dishes and one soup, steaming hot, Shi Yumei said lightly, "Let's eat!" Seeing that Ren Zhixian ignored him, she ignored him and sat down at the table to order Cui Zhu placed the bowls and chopsticks to serve the rice.

Ren Zhixian stared with anger.

Cuibao was still clever, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Master, this Chinese New Year, you and your wife have to have a reunion dinner together! Don't keep your wife waiting for too long!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but help Ren Zhixian to go.

Ren Zhixian went down the donkey, glanced at Cuibao admiringly, and said in his heart that Cuibao is still caring, the Lord didn't dote on her in vain! Much better than Cuizhu's dead wood like man!

When Ren Zhixian saw Yumei's expression was indifferent, he wanted to make her angry to feel happy, after sitting down, Cuibao served him a meal and he pulled Cuibao: "You sit down and eat together!"

The chopsticks in Shi Yumei's hands trembled, her face was slightly gloomy, and she remained calm.

Cuibao's eyes lit up and she was overjoyed, she woke up in an instant, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Sir, don't be joking, how dare a servant and maidservant eat at the same table with the master and madam, this is against the rules! Master and madam, hurry up and use it, It will be cold in a while!"

Shi Yumei let out a low hum and eased her complexion, thinking that you are wise!

"My words are the rules! Where do you get so many rules!" Ren Zhixian wanted her to sit down, but when he looked up, he saw Cuizhu standing beside Shi Yumei, and said to her with a straight face: "Go and move a stool! "

"Slaves don't dare! I beg the master, don't beat the slaves!" Cuibao was so frightened that her face turned pale and she knelt down with a "plop".

Ren Zhixian can ignore it, but she dare not! She's not out of her mind yet, this is the Shi family!

Face to face with Shi Yumei, Shi Yumei was ashamed, and Shi's family became angry, Ren Zhixian might not be able to protect her!

"You!" Ren Zhixian stared angrily when he saw that Cuibao felt that he couldn't get off the stage, but he couldn't think about it! He didn't know that Cuibao was afraid of Shi's family, so he didn't dare to follow orders, but he felt pity and love for her, and felt that she - she really knows the rules and is sensible!

"Get up quickly, what are you doing kneeling on the ground!" Ren Zhixian said softly, holding Cuibao's arm with his own hands.

"Thank you, my servant!" Cuibao glanced at Shi Yumei who was still eating as if nothing had happened, and stood up gently with a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Master, hurry up and eat!"

"Yeah!" Ren Zhixian nodded, and ordered Cuibao to prepare vegetables for him.

The more Shi Yumei looked at it, the more displeased she became, she took a few mouthfuls in anger and slammed her chopsticks on the table, got up and left the table with Cuizhu.

Ren Zhixian stared at her coldly as she strode away from him and disappeared from sight, then turned to Cuibao and said angrily, "Look at her! What does she mean? Does she still see me as the head of the family!"

"Master, calm down!" Cuibao hurriedly laughed and said, "Master, it's unlucky to be angry during the Chinese New Year! Ma'am, she may be a little uncomfortable, don't worry! Madam is not like this in normal times! "

Ren Zhixian sneered and said: "You're wrong, she wasn't like this before, since she returned to Shi's house, she felt that she had found a backer, and she didn't see me as a husband more and more in her eyes! Hmph, she had better not forget that she is us People from the Ren family, even if they die, are buried in our Ren family's ancestral grave and have nothing to do with the Shi family! Are you feeling unwell? Hmph, I think she is feeling unwell!"

"Master!" Cuibao's face turned pale with anxiety, "Please stop talking! Why bother! You feel bad about yourself, and Madam—"

Cuibao couldn't help secretly hating, thinking, don't you know that this is the territory of the Shi family? Don't you think before you speak? What if the Shi family doesn't want to treat you as an uncle, how can I, a girl, not be angered? You can't kill me if you want to!

"Ah!" Ren Zhixian has always been unable to resist the pitiful tears of the beautiful woman. Seeing that Cuibao had softened his heart so early, he couldn't help holding her hand and gently patted and sighed: "Cuibao, the only one who cares about me is you." That's it! It's still good for you, you know how to think about your master! There is no one else at the moment, come, sit down and have dinner with your master!"

Cuibao subconsciously glanced at the room, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The rules cannot be broken, just use it standing up!"

Ren Zhixian was even more satisfied, nodded and smiled happily: "This is also good! Come, eat! Do what you like to eat yourself!"

"Thank you, servant!" Cuibao winked.

Shi Yumei reckoned that the Wang's main courtyard was almost ready for dinner, so she ordered Cuizhu to bring a big fur cloak, and was going to sit with her mother and watch the night with her aunts and sisters.

Who knew that Ren Zhixian seemed to be blocking her on purpose tonight, after dinner he didn't even go to the study to spend time with Cuibao, instead he sat in the hall outside, and when he saw her about to go out, he stopped drinking: "Stop! Where are you going?"

Shi Yumei said lightly: "Go talk to my mother and the others!"

"Don't go!" What Ren Zhixian was waiting for was that she would not agree to this sentence, "Today is the Chinese New Year, you, the Ren family, don't mix with the Shi family!"

Shi Yumei smiled sarcastically, and said lightly: "Master, have you forgotten that we are at Shi's house now, what's wrong with me going to have a few words with my mother?"

These words hit Ren Zhixian's sore spot, he couldn't help being furious, and said with a cold face: "If I say no, then I won't! If you dare to step out, don't come back tonight!"

Shi Yumei held back her anger and ignored him, she sneered and left with Cuizhu.

"Good! Good! The good daughter taught by the Shi family, it's wrong, it's really wrong!" Ren Zhixian had never been treated like this by Shi Yumei, and his voice trembled with anger. Cuibao persuaded him for a while before he eased over Come on.

Shi Yumei was also feeling bad, she didn't know what to do, when she arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, she told Cuizhu not to talk nonsense, Fang tidied up her facial expressions, and went in happily.
