The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Shi Yao did not suspect anything, after all, it was just a small plate of melon seeds. After hearing what Wang Fan said, she moved the small plate over and picked up the seeds one by one to eat:

"I hate cracking sunflower seeds. It either wears out my teeth or my fingernails."

In her previous life, she loved cracking melon seeds when she was a child, which left several small gaps on her front teeth. When she grew up, she loved to show off, and when she laughed, she either covered her mouth or dared not laugh out loud.

In this life, she has never liked eating melon seeds since she was a child. She would only eat them occasionally to satisfy her craving when she missed the fragrance of the seeds.

After knowing that I was a traveler in a book, I became even less interested in chewing nuts, for fear of damaging my teeth. In ancient times when medical care was underdeveloped, it was difficult to even find a dentist to grind my teeth.

Wang Fan was finally relieved when he saw her happy and carefree look on her face.

This second sister is easy to coax as long as you don't touch her sensitive spot.

Little did she know that Shi Yao was secretly wondering: when should she arrange a rebirth card for her Sixth Sister-in-law?

When Rong arrived to entertain the guests in Ganlu Hall, Shi Yao stood up, said she was tired, bowed, and went back to Guanju Courtyard to rest.

At noon, she came to have lunch with the lady, and there were also several old ladies, wives, and grandmothers from the family sitting at the same table.

Rong was very busy, and wherever she went, people came to ask her for help.

Wang Fan held a small plate and served the food to her grandmother-in-law.

Shi Yao looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and felt sympathy for them as well as for her future self.

She thought about marrying and leaving the Duke's Mansion to avoid Shi Mingzhu's revenge, but after getting married, her husband's family might not be another battlefield.

However, the Duke's Mansion would definitely not let her marry up. As long as the old Duke and the Dowager Lady were alive, no one in her husband's family would dare to bully her.

There is no point in thinking too much. Just take one step at a time and see where you end up. If she gets killed accidentally, she might be able to go back to modern times and get her body back from that female ghost.

After finishing the meal and seeing off the guests, Shi Yao felt weak all over.

Wang Fan secretly pounded his legs, his face full of pain.

Rong's face didn't look very good either, but she tried hard not to let anyone see her weakness.

The lady said, "You guys should eat quickly and take a rest. We will be busy this afternoon."

Rong and Wang Fan expressed their gratitude.

So, Rong ate the leftovers on the table, and Wang Fan continued to serve her mother-in-law and serve the dishes.

Only after Rong finished eating did it come to Wang Fan's turn to eat the leftovers.

The meat oil solidified on the plate. Shi Yao, who was watching from the sidelines, felt that she had no appetite. Her scalp tingled as she watched. She couldn't help but think, isn't getting married really such a rip-off?

I don’t know why they don’t heat it up before eating, or serve a few new dishes.

I guess it’s the rule. I’ll have to ask Aunt Liu Hua later.

Since most of the guests were male guests in the second half of the afternoon, the lady asked Shi Yao to go back and have a rest.

Shi Yao had an expression of "I understand" and agreed obediently.

Those who could come to pay their respects to the lady were naturally not the elderly people in their fifties, sixties, seventies or eighties, but young people in their teens or twenties, most of whom were grandchildren or great-grandchildren.

This is because they are afraid that an unmarried girl might develop impure thoughts when she sees a man outside her family. If the two families fail to arrange a marriage between them, wouldn't that change the girl's mind?

When young men see beautiful girls, they can't help but have wild thoughts. If they go back and draw the portrait and circulate it, or if they comment on the girl's appearance in other people's minds, they will ruin the girl's reputation.

In short, in order to prevent boys and girls from getting overwhelmed by hormones, it is best not to meet.

When Shi Yao came out, she ran into Shi Mingkui, Shi Mingchen and Shi Minghui who were returning from visiting their respective homes outside to pay New Year's greetings.

The two sides greeted each other and passed each other.

Shi Mingchen fell behind and turned around to catch up with Shi Yao.

Shi Yao was quite speechless, rolled her eyes and asked: "What are you doing?"

Deserve a fight?

Shi Mingchen stammered and couldn't explain what he was saying. After a while, Shi Yao became impatient and wanted to leave, so he quickly took out a jade pendant from his sleeve.

"This is for you! I haven't given you a gift for your return to the capital yet, so I'll make it up to you today, so that others won't say I don't know etiquette."

Shi Mingchen stretched his hand forward and turned his head to the side, as if he was very reluctant.

Shi Yao took a look and saw that the carving was exquisite and the quality was excellent. She had little experience and could not recognize what kind of jade it was. She did not reach out for it, but asked:

"Who gave it to you?"

Shi Mingchen knew that Shi Mingzhu hated things that had been touched by low-class people and stinky men. She couldn't touch them, as if she was afraid of being tainted. So he thought Shi Yao also had this problem. He cursed her in his heart, saying that she was a country girl and was too picky. He explained:

"It was given to you by the wife of Ningyuan Marquis today. It has never been held by anyone else. Just take it."

He handed the small piece of mutton-fat jade forward again.

If someone shows his affection for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Shi Yao put her hands in her sleeves and said with a vigilant look: "I don't want it."

She was about to mock him for saying yesterday that she was giving the gift to someone else, but then she felt it was not worth wasting her breath on him, so she gave up.

Shi Mingchen was surprised that a poor girl like Shi Yao would not want such a precious jade pendant, and emphasized: "This is mutton-fat white jade. You don't know the value of it, but Aunt Liu Hua does."

Aunt Liu Hua was suddenly called out, so she glanced at Shi Mingchen's almost frozen hands and nodded hesitantly: "If I'm not mistaken, it is indeed mutton-fat white jade."

"I don't want the white jade either. Who knows what you are up to? Don't think you can cheat me with a jade pendant." After Shi Yaofang finished speaking, she saw Rong coming over.

She was slightly embarrassed and was about to salute, but Rong didn't even look at her, grabbed Shi Mingchen's arm and left.

"Mother!" Shi Mingchen tightly grasped the jade pendant, as if he was a student caught by the teacher playing with his mobile phone in class. His face was full of embarrassment and helplessness, as well as deep regret.

Would his mother misunderstand him as betraying her?

Rong's expression was indifferent and he didn't say a word the whole time.

After walking a long way, she let go of Shi Mingchen and said calmly, "Don't provoke Shi Yao again. I will also talk to your brother and his family.

Shi Yao and her daughter don't owe me anything, and I don't owe them anything either. Your father didn't seem to have done anything wrong.

It's best for us and Shi Yao to keep to ourselves and not disturb each other. Just pretend she doesn't exist. Don't think of venting your anger on my behalf."

Shi Mingchen lowered his head and said ashamedly: "I just feel... I just feel that Shi Yao is very similar to me."

Both he and Shi Yao were unpopular people in this mansion.

Everyone treats them as transparent people intentionally or unintentionally.

He fought with Shi Yao repeatedly, and he lost every time. It seemed that Shi Yao won, but he thought about it all night yesterday and it seemed that Shi Yao did not win either. She just used the sharp thorns of ice to protect herself.

The ending was that she retaliated and stabbed someone else, but it was obvious that she had been hurt first.

He didn't want to be the least noticeable one among his brothers anymore, but he had to compromise and be coerced by his brothers to continue to revolve around Zhuzhu.

He wants to learn from Shi Yao.

Even if you are alone, you can live a colorful life.

Others thought she was lonely and desolate, but he could see that Shi Yao was enjoying it.

He wanted to get close to Shi Yao, join Shi Yao, and become someone like Shi Yao, a unique person.

Rong's eyes were indifferent and wise, as if she saw through everything. She just said, "You are you, and she is she. She is a girl, and you are a boy. She can't be you, and you can't be her. You are not the same kind of people, so don't mess with her again in the future."
