1, marriage
Tangzhou City is located by the canal and is a place with very developed commerce and transportation.
There is a house with two roads and seven entrances southwest of Tangzhou City, where the richest man in Tangzhou lives.
In the afternoon of early spring, the door of Dong's house was quiet, and there was no sign of the dead just sent in the morning. The door was cleaned up very clean. If you observe carefully, you can also see that there was a thin layer of loess on the ground, and the water was evenly spread on the loess. When the breeze blew, there was no trace of dust.
Unlike the quietness in front of the gate, the most remote quiet garden in Dong's house is now full of gunpowder.
The second aunt of the Dong family, Ishihara, is the second brother-in-law of the Dong family's parents, now the second brother-in-law of the Dong family, sat in the guest seat in the main hall and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, Xiaorou is my daughter. I know her marriage in my heart, so my sister-in-law doesn't bother with her."
On the main seat of the main hall was a middle-aged woman in her thirties, covered in pearls and jade, and her round baby face made her look much younger than her actual age. She had single eyelids, hanging eyes, thin lips, and looked very mean. This person was Yang, the wife of Dong Zhai, the current mistress of the house, and Master Dong.
Yang smiled with a habitual smile on his face and said, "Brother-in-law, it is true that Xiaorou is your daughter, but have you ever paid a penny to support her? Xiaorou was born in the Dong Mansion and grew up in the Dong Mansion. Why can't I ask about her marriage?"
This was what touched Ishihara Hai's concern. He lost his father since he was a child, and his widowed mother raised him by washing and sewing, and also offered him a scholar. He was eighteen years old, but his mother couldn't afford to get sick. In the end, he married Dong Yun, the second sister of the Dong family, in the form of a semi-marriage. But even so, he could not save his mother's life, but instead made him a person who was living under someone else's roof.
Ishihara Hai was about to refute, but Yang said first: "Brother-in-law, the second sister is gone. You are sad, we are sad, but life must continue. You are still young and you always have to retaliate. Don't blame me for being rude. What else do you have besides the fame of Juren? If you have a half-old daughter, who would be willing to marry? I am also for your own good."
Ishihara Hai was so angry that his eyes were almost ripped off, and he said, "Sister-in-law, Yun'er has just left and her bones are not cold. Do you want to reconnect with me?"
Yang was a little embarrassed and regretful. This statement was really not the right time to use. So she quickly changed the topic: "Brother Yi is the eldest grandson of the Dong family. She has a first-class appearance and a good temperament. She grew up with Xiaorou and is childhood sweetheart. What's rare is that your second brother and second sister-in-law don't dislike Xiaorou. How can this marriage be bad?"
Ishihara Hai clenched his fists. If it weren't for the slightest sense of reason, he really wanted to smash the face in front of him with one punch, which was smiling very gently.
"My Xiaorou can't afford to be up to you! If my sister-in-law has nothing to do, please come back! If you are a lonely man and a widow, my sister-in-law should avoid it!"
After saying that, he got up and entered the north room where his daughter lives.
Yang stared at the shaking curtain with hatred, stood up, and left with a veil. Madam Ruan followed Yang closely, and before she left the house, she said, "I'm shameless! The family is in a bad mood!" The voice was not loud, but it happened to be heard by the people in the inner room.
Jingyuan is a very small courtyard with no main houses, only three wing rooms and two ear rooms, and one wing room in the middle is used as the main hall. Ishihara Hai and his newly-dead wife Dong Yun originally lived in the south room, while the couple's only daughter Shi Jinrou lives in the north room.
When Dong Yun was sent in the morning, his daughter Shi Jinrou fainted from crying. Ishihara brought her daughter back to Jingyuan. As soon as she put her daughter on the bed, the eldest wife Yang sent someone to call him. Dong Yun was about to send him, and it would be impossible to leave him in the mourning hall. The person who came only said that the eldest wife had sent someone to serve the cousin lady and asked him to go to the mourning hall quickly and not miss the auspicious time. Seeing that his daughter was breathing evenly, Ishihara gritted her teeth and left, he had to send his wife for the last journey. Fortunately, Shi Jinrou woke up quickly, but what everyone didn't know was that after waking up, Shi Jinrou had his body belonged to the deity, but his soul was replaced by modern ones.
Shi Jinrou lay on the bed in the north room and listened to the conversation between Yang and Ishihara Hai just now. Although she couldn't understand many things, she at least understood two points: one was that she had traveled through time, and the names were exactly the same. The feeling of traveling through time is not as beautiful as those written in the time travel novels I read in the previous life. Instead, she felt a little inexplicable fear in her heart. As for what she was afraid of, she didn't know; the other was that her aunt or aunt seemed to be telling her to be close, but her father did not agree.
Shi Jinrou had been lying on the bed for several hours, and only one person had come in between, her father, but at that time she was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes.
When Ishihara Hai entered his daughter's room again, he found that his daughter was looking at him with wide eyes open. He walked over and grabbed his daughter's hand in surprise, and said, "Xiao Rou, you are finally awake!" He almost forgot about his displeasure with Yang just now.
For several hours, he was worried. If his daughter hadn't had normal pulse and breathing, he really suspected that her daughter had left with her wife.
Shi Jinrou stared at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of her, and suddenly, a overwhelming picture came towards her...
A cowardly biological mother, a frustrated father, a maid with all kinds of sinister faces, and an aunt with a knife hidden in her smile...
Shi Jinrou closed her eyes with a headache, it was a real headache.
Ishihara Hai touched his daughter's forehead nervously, grabbed her hand and looked up to find her pulse.
Fortunately, the headache passed quickly. Shi Jinrou opened her eyes and looked at the nervous look of "father", she whispered: "Dad, I'm fine."
"Well, it's fine, it's fine." Ishihara Hai said uneasyly, holding his daughter's hand, as if once he let go, his daughter will disappear.
"Dad, you've hurt me." Shi Jinrou said softly.
Ishihara Hashi shrank his hand awkwardly.
Looking at Ishihara Hai's silent and sad expression, Shi Jinrou didn't know what to say. There were too many things in her mind, modern, ancient, and messy, and she felt that she didn't know who she was.
Shi Jinrou said to Ishihara Kanei apologetically: "Dad, I still feel tired and want to sleep for a while."
"Okay. Then go to bed, dad is just waiting outside. Just call dad if you have something to do."
Shi Jinrou nodded with a smile. Her father was different from the "memory". Because of her disgusting the attitude of the Dong family, her "father" lived in a college in the suburbs most of the time. It was not until his wife Dong Yun was seriously ill that she lived in the Dong family for more than a month, but her thoughts were all on her. Because she only came back to stay for one night for one or two years, the father and daughter were somewhat unfamiliar. I wonder if the "mother" passed away. How long can the "father" live in the Dong family this time?
Shi Jinrou is really tired and sleepy. Her body is very weak. She keeps her spirits for several days and can't eat anything, so she faints. Although her soul has changed, her physique has not changed and she is still weak.
When Shi Jinrou woke up again, it was already dusk. She lay on the bed for a while and straightened out the memories she left to herself. Then she tried to sit up while supporting the bed board. Fortunately, she didn't feel dizzy. She habitually reached out and grabbed the clothes on the bed frame and slowly put them on her body.
Shi Jinrou was in a very bad mood at this time. She was really unlucky. She lived well in modern times, so who would offend anyone? In the blink of an eye, she was still a lady with an awkward identity: her father was a juren, but she had no official position, so she could not be considered a lady from the official family; the Dong family where she lived was a wealthy businessman, but her surname was Shi, not Dong, so she was not a businesswoman.
Shi Jinrou sighed heavily. No matter what identity he has to live. She would not have to be foolish, thinking that she could return to modern times by dying again. If she reincarnates again and enters the animal realm and becomes a cat and dog, wouldn’t it be even more tragic? In fact, she is lucky. I have left all my memories to myself, so I don’t have to pretend to be a fraudulent drama like amnesia. Be content!
Maybe when he heard something happening in the room, a maid with a face pulled the curtain and walked in. She glanced at Shi Jinrou with a calm face, and said, "Miss Cousin is awake! Since she is awake, go out for dinner."
Shi Jinrou squinted her eyes at the maid in front of her, and suddenly she "thinked" in her mind. She should have been the maid in the yard of her eldest aunt Yang's family, but she couldn't remember what she was named. Anyway, she was definitely not a very powerful maid.
Shi Jinrou opened her mouth and asked, "The moon sets, where is Xiaoyun and Zhang's mother?"
Yue Luo is Dong Yun’s maid, Xiao Yun is “his own” maid, and Zhang’s mother is “his own” wet nurse.
The maid who was facing the face said sarcastically: "Miss Cousin, how can there be so much money to support idle people in the mansion? From now on, I will be served by Xiao Lian and I." Then, he added: "This is what the eldest wife just ordered in the afternoon."
After saying that, before Shi Jinrou asked again, she turned around and walked out. She said through the curtain: "Miss Cousin, get up quickly. The kitchen people will come to collect the dishes later. If you are not full, don't say that the kitchen people will deduct you."
At this time, another female voice rang out: "Sister Rumei, I have already told the people in the kitchen that I will send the dishes over later, so they don't have to go there again." The implication is that there is no need to urge Miss Cousin like this.
When Shi Jinrou heard this, she thought while putting on her clothes, and it turned out that this arrogant maid was named Rumei, which was really a waste of a good name. The other maid must have been Xiao Lian.
"You are going to take it away? You are so diligent! There are so many work in the house, but you are still thinking about running to the kitchen! I think it would be great if I ask you a third-class person? Don't forget what the eldest wife said in the afternoon. I have the final say in Jingyuan in the future!"
Shi Jinrou walked out with a curtain and heard this sentence, giggled and said, "It turns out that you have the final say in Jingyuan from today? When did the mansion change the rules and everything is decided by the maid? Also, what do I call you in the future? Miss Rumei? Aunt Mei? Or... Master Mei?"
Rumei was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, but didn't know how to answer.
Shi Jinrou let out a sigh. Because she had inherited the memory of her deity completely, she felt very depressed. She was too cowardly before, and the mother and daughter were bullied by others, which was not as good as the well-known servants in this mansion. It was so useless that it was really speechless! Although a few words of pricking Ru Mei could not solve any problem, it could at least make her feel better.
Shi Jinrou walked to the table gracefully. In her previous life, she was the main force of the school etiquette team in middle school and university. If it weren't for being almost unwritten by someone, she would have almost chosen to be a model.
Shi Jinrou picked up the bowl and deliberately ate it with relish, although the food didn't taste very good.
Rumei stood by the table, rolling her eyes without any concealment. This kind of food is so delicious, it is really a waste of food in the mansion!
After eating all the bowls of rice, Shi Jinrou put down her chopsticks. When she looked up, she saw Rumei rolling her eyes again, so she asked, "Master Mei, are you feeling uncomfortable in your eyes? If you have eye disease, it is better to find a doctor early, otherwise you will be blind at a young age and your life will be over!"
Rumei was so angry that she grinded her teeth: "Thank you, Miss Cousin, for caring for me! I'm so good! Miss Cousin should care about herself when she has time. Don't pretend to faint at any time. It's okay once or twice. If you have too many times, it's meaningless!"
After saying that, he took the dishes into the food box, picked them up and went out.
