Rebirth of an Abandoned Woman
Chapter 38
Sang Wan looked at Sister Li standing beside her with a smile and a quiet voice. She smiled slightly and said: "If you have read the book and written it in the morning, go ahead! Sister, why don't you take a day off? How can a table be enough? I think we should put two tables in the west wing hall. Don't just invite us to the courtyard. Please also invite us to get to know each other well in the house. I'm afraid there are only a few old sisters of the nurse! Use the dishes to decide for yourselves. Ask the kitchen to pick up the good ingredients and buy two more bottles of good wine according to the standards of the five taels and one table. The silver will come out of my account! ”
Song Wan said that Sister Li and Liu Bu were both happy. Liu Bu and Song Wan were not polite. I couldn't thank them enough to hear the words. Their faces were full of laughter, but there was no speculation. Thank you. On the contrary, Nanny Li resigned a few words. She laughed with joy and said, "I can't” and “I dare not be”. Sang Wan naturally insisted repeatedly. Sister Li was grateful for this.
Apricot branches, red leaves, etc. are also busy thanking each other and congratulating Sister Li and Willow Bud. The two taels of silver at the banquet in the usual pub is already excellent. The five taels and one table are even more important than what you want, and the weight is also sufficient, and everyone is naturally happy. Even the little girls were happy to follow.
Sister Li withdrew, thinking about explaining the apricot branch and others later, went to talk to the old sisters and invite them to dinner. Happy events, of course, the more people share.
Liu Bu thought that he had to read and write first. Although he was not as ostracized as before, he still showed up like a frosted eggplant, causing Sister Li to glare: “You little girl, don't think about laziness! Grandma, it's for your own good, don't lose sight of the good people! ”
In other words, Sister Li was very unhappy with the fact that Sang Wan taught Liu Bu, Apricot Branch and Red Leaf to read and write, because she felt that a girl could only serve her master and be faithful to her master. Why should she read and write? It's better to be dumb! Save yourself the pride of knowing a few words and start thinking about what you shouldn't.
But I don't see it that way. In everyone's eyes, people who can read and read are amazing people, and Nanny Li naturally sees it the same way. Her daughter can read and read, but of course it's best!
Besides, with this phrase, she is also telling Sang-wan that she has been good to both of their mothers and that she sees it in her eyes and remembers it in her heart. Please rest assured, Sang-wan.
Gu Fangzi first provoked that statement. Sister Li did not make any gesture, and even her face did not change slightly, but she took Sang-wan's expression to heart. If Sang Wan revealed even a little reluctance and disgust at the time, she would be disgusted - because she was a competent old servant, she would only choose Young Master between Young Master and Gong Daughter, she would never fight Liu Bud with Grandma, making the chicken dog upset in Young Master's yard. She feels that Sang-wan should be able to appreciate this, and doesn't need her to be loyal and explicit.
If it's all about her confession, it's pointless. And if Sang-wan really gets a gap, the confession is useless.
As a result, Sang Wan didn't disappoint her. She didn't take Gu Fangzi seriously! Instead, they volunteered to pay for their maidens' seats. Sister Li felt more comforted.
When Phoenix came back at night, she saw the house quietly, only two little maids were outside the house, and Sang-wan's nest was in the middle of the room to read the book.
After listening to Song Wan, he laughed. “I was thinking about this. I forgot again. It's hard to remember for you! It's just that the two tables seem a little short. ”
Sang Wan unloaded his clothes and changed clothes for him. She ordered the little girl to get some hot water. “Ten taels of silver, three or four tables can do a good cover, don't worry, the nurse will handle it! ”
Although Sister Li is decent, she is a subordinate. Two tables are just right. If there is more, she will be a little overwhelmed. It doesn't matter what happens in the dark, it has to be covered up on the bright side.
Xifeng suddenly laughed: “Thoughtful! ”
“Are you hungry? The meal just arrived. It's warm from the water. Is that it?” Sang-wan took a look at him.
“Not in a hurry,” Feng raised her face suddenly revealed a strange red spot, lifted her hand and blocked her lips from coughing slightly. She smiled, pulling a small flat white jade box out of her arms and handing it to her: “Well, I happened to pass by Minghua Hall today and bought it for you to see if I liked it. ”
Sang Wan's heart flashed. He didn't want to take it. His face was nervous and his heart softened: it was given to him, he didn't take it for nothing!
Sang Wan smiled and continued. Her fingers gently rubbed the white and soft jade box. She smiled. "By the way! ”
Xifeng raised her hand and smiled embarrassingly. “It's deliberate, deliberate! The master cabinet says it's the latest fat powder. What do you think? ”
“Minghua Tang's things are naturally good!” Muwan gently unveiled the lid, with a hint of orchid-scented silk wrapped around the nose, elegant and long. The fat powder in the box was white as frost and snow. It was creamy and delicate. She gently picked the green beans with her fingertips and rubbed them into the palm of her hand. When she saw the skin was much more moisturized, she laughed: "It's a good thing, thank you! ”
But when she saw her, Phoenix looked up at her hands as they were deafening. Muang Wan's face was hot, and she put her hands down and coughed again.
Phoenix! "Ah!” When you wake up in your first dream, touch your chin and smile: “Well, if you like it! Eat! Eat! ”
The slender, slender hands, the greasy, white skin reminded him of her equally greasy, snowy neck and clavicle that had appeared in the curtain last night, and he looked at it all at once.
Sang Wan also told him to look a little embarrassed, but she was in the living room, much more sensible than him. She put away the jade box and ordered the little girl to bring the food. Suddenly she asked him: “Why do you suddenly remember to give me something? ”
Xifeng raised her voice: “Last night was my sudden apology! ”
No, it's okay! Song Wan's face turned red and opened his face. “I'll cook! ”
Xifeng looked at her escaping from the usual past dining room, shook her head and laughed, sorted out her mood, slowly went to the dining room, feeling particularly happy for no reason.
Almost to Dragon Boat, Wang suddenly passed on Sang Wan.
Sang Wan's heart was tight, she was busy getting her makeup done, and brought Sister Li and Willow Bud over.
In my mind, I realized that the chicken dog jumped from the scene where my sister-in-law came from. Sang Wan calmed down for a long time and pulled it again for no reason.
I hope it's not all the same again!
Gu Fangzi took the lead on the matters to be prepared for the holidays and the ceremonies to be prepared between relatives. Sang Wan did not ask, and Wang did not say.
Wang only asked someone to take a gift slip to her mother's house and ask her to look at it properly. Qingzhou custom, women's first holiday after marriage, parents and family will come to the house as guests, and the husband's family will have to prepare the gift according to the rules.
Sang Wanmei wrote on it: two jars of wine, two jars of wine, four boxes of wine, two tails of carp, one pair of live chickens, one pair of live duck goose, ten kilos of meat, two cans of tea, one pair of bottles, two pairs of bags, two pairs of brocade, and one gold collar for the child.
According to Qingzhou custom, you just need to prepare these, and the Sang family wants to prepare just as much. At the end of the gift slip, another silver slip was added, two hundred taels each.
Sang Wan's face changed slightly and stared at her without making a sound.
Wang Shi didn't notice at first, and smiled at her face: "Oh, by the way, your brother's sister-in-law is not easy, and the conditions in the house are not very good. I specifically asked someone to add two hundred taels of silver ticket! If you don't feel enough, add some more! ”
Wang's remark that the clouds were light did not mean anything, and Sang Wan finally withstood the divine colour.
At this time, Sang Wan can already conclude that this must not have been Wang's own idea, and must have listened to what Fangzi said before adding. In the opinion of the Wang family, it is good intentions, but according to customary rules, it is clearly insulting.
The richer and more solemn the return ceremony, the more important it is to the woman's family, but this time, it is different.
My sister-in-law's personality is very clear. My brother will only feel guilty when he sees me. He feels sorry for himself, but his sister-in-law will surely be furious. He thinks that the family despises people and intentionally uses it to fall on the Sang family!
Sang Wan was just about to say something, just listening to Fang Zi smile: “Don't be embarrassed, cousin, you don't have to see anyone outside! Well, it's my aunt's heart too! I can see your aunt is watching the big cousin! ”
“Oh, Fanzi said, are relatives!” Wang also smiled and said to Sang Wan: “It's not easy for your sister-in-law to have a seat and talk with them when they get here! Oh, by the way, call Phoenix together. ”
Sang Wan was annoyed and reluctantly accompanied the laughter, but still stiffened his scalp carefully worded: “Mother, your kindness, Wan, on behalf of your sister-in-law, thanked you first! It's just, as Mother said, relatives, family, you really don't have to be so polite. My brother's sister-in-law, she won't mind. I think it's still...”
“Cousin, what is this?” Gu Fangzi laughed: “I told you that my aunt was in the same mood. Even though my uncle and grandmother were in the same mood as their elders, why not? Cousin, you don't think this is charity, humiliation of your uncle and grandmother? If your cousin thinks so, Auntie won't do it for nothing! ”
Song Wan saw that Wang's face was definitely a little unsafe. He stood up hastily. "Wan Wan dared not! Wanda never meant to do that! Mother, Wan just felt that the courtesy was too heavy..."
Sister Li understood and laughed. “The old slave has a saying, I don't know what to say! ”
Wang Shizhu couldn't refute Nanny Li. "Sister, if you have anything to say! ”
Nanny Li laughed: “Miss, with all due respect to the old slave, this time you are wrong! ”
“Oh, how could I be wrong?” Wang Shi wondered.
“Why not?” Sister Li laughed: “Relatives have dealings. Just follow the rules and customs. You are kind and kind, but outsiders are afraid to say that they are rich and despise relatives! ”
As soon as Wang Shi was stunned, she immediately understood. “I made a mistake! Then take it off! Wanna, I didn't mean to be thorough. Don't blame me! ”
