The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Time goes back to the year when the Shi family returned to Beijing.

The Shi family came to Beijing and topped the hot list in Beijing that day.

All the news about the Shi family back then were re-examined.

Of course, the most watched person in the Shi family is still Shi Mingzhu, whether she is alive or dead.

The apple of the Shi family's eye is the gossip memory of three generations of people in the capital.

Shi Yao had also been on the hot list, but she and Xie Jibai were very low-key, and the Xie family wasn't a hot topic either. If people talked too much about her and got tired of her, they would automatically forget about her.

Shi Lingyun handed over a sign, asking to enter the palace to pay his respects to the emperor.

The emperor only met Shi Jizhen and Shi Lingyun, and the empress met Fu Nanjun.

For the sake of the old tutor, the emperor and empress did not make things difficult for the Shi family. They only gave Shi Jizhen a warning and then let them leave the palace.

Because the Shi family had committed a crime, the emperor did not grant them a house, so the Shi family lived in their own house.

The next day, Shi Mingmo went to inquire about Wang Fan. Wang Fan remarried in the second year after the divorce, marrying a scholar named Ding. In the third year, she gave birth to a child. In the fourth year, the old emperor died, and the new emperor held an imperial examination. Her husband passed the examination and became a Jinshi, and now he has been assigned to a post outside the capital.

The neighbors of the Ding family enviously said, "His wife is very good at giving birth. She gave birth to three children in a row in the past few years. The first was twins, a boy and a girl. The second was a son, and the third was a girl. The old lady of the Ding family was so happy that she said that it was the blessing of the ancestors that she was able to marry such a prosperous daughter-in-law."

Shi Mingmo was in a daze. He walked in the drizzle and staggered out of the alley where the Ding family lived.

turn out to be--

turn out to be--

He was the one who held her back.

As long as she didn't marry him, Wang Fan could live a good life.

Shi Mingchen went to visit the Xie family and saw Shi Yao holding a little girl in her arms, so he smiled and asked: "This is your daughter, she has grown up so much. What's her name? Baby, I am your uncle——

Really, Shi Yao, I am your biological brother. How come you didn’t tell me when you wrote back to Jinling that you had a daughter? It would have been fine if you didn’t tell me, but you didn’t even tell your eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and second aunt. "

Shi Yao rolled her eyes at him.

Xie Jibai explained with a smile: "Shanshan is my sister's daughter. My sister went out to sea, so Yaoyao took Shanshan home to play. The late emperor once ordered that the Shi family should observe six years of mourning. Although Yaoyao was married, he did not dare to ask if she was included in the mourning, so she also observed six years of mourning. She only took off her mourning clothes at the end of last year. Brother, please don't talk nonsense."

While observing mourning, one cannot have sexual intercourse with another, and even if one gets pregnant secretly, one cannot have a child.

Being unfilial is a serious crime.

Shi Mingchen was stunned when he suddenly heard the news about Xie Qingdai.

He silently looked at the little girl named Shanshan, and indeed saw some of Xie Qingdai's shadow in her face.

No wonder he felt the child looked familiar.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of loss.

Shi Yao coughed.

Shi Mingchen came back to his senses, stood up quickly, bowed to Shi Yao, and said with a forced smile: "I am sorry for my words, please don't blame me."

Shi Yao looked at him, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have made some progress in the past few years and have become much more polite. Who taught you that? Did your second aunt teach you a lesson?"

Shi Mingchen laughed, sat back and said, "Can't it be that we have been friends since elementary school? When you and I first met, it was normal for us to play around. I have always been a very well-behaved person."

Shi Yao turned her head, covered her face with a handkerchief, and coughed three times vigorously.

How could Shi Mingchen have the nerve to say such a thing?

Shi Mingchen changed the subject and asked, "Why is this child named Shanshan?"

Xie Jibai smiled and said, "My sister loves to go to the sea, so when she named her daughter, she wanted to press the water, so she named her Shanshan. Shanshan is a nickname, so don't tell anyone."

Shanshan is only two years old. When he hears someone calling his name, he turns to look at that person and says "ah" at the same time, with his eyes rolling around. He is very smart, playful and well-behaved.

Shi Yao loved the child's adorable look so much that she kept pressing her forehead against hers, calling out like chanting a mantra, "Shanshan, Shanshan, Shanshan, Shanshan..."

Bo Shanshan said in a baby voice: "Hey, hey, hey, hey... Hey, aunt, stop shouting!"

Shi Yao laughed out loud.

Xie Jibai watched them playing gently from the side, turned around to talk to Shi Mingchen, and pushed the toys and fruit tea next to the two of them for their convenience.

Shi Mingchen suppressed the envy and disappointment in his eyes, chatted with Xie Jibai casually, had lunch, and then said goodbye and went back.

Shi Yao loved her little niece very much and was willing to carry her wherever she went, so she only sent her to the gate of the courtyard and refused to go any further.

My arms are sore.

She has always been so casual, and she doesn't take the Shi brothers seriously, especially Shi Mingchen.

Shi Mingchen was used to it. He turned around, took a deep look at Shi Yao's happy and peaceful smile, and said, "Second sister, take care of yourself."

He couldn't stay in the capital for long and had to return to Nanjing.

In fact, he didn't want to go back.

After returning home, his mother would definitely force him to go on blind dates again and try to find ways to "enlighten" him.

But he had to go back.

Shi Mingchen felt that he was sick.

The cause could be Xie Qingdai, Du Jinhui, the Shi family, his mother, the responsibility of the family's reproduction, the impatient gaze of his sixth brother, his father's sighing behind their backs, his second uncle's helpless look, his vague suspicion that his eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Shannai, and Fan Ge'er killed his eldest uncle, eldest brother, and second brother, Shi Yao's indifference to family affection, the words his fourth brother said before leaving, or the chastity archway that was knocked down because of Zhuzhu...

He wanted to leave it all behind and go away.

But I can't leave.

It was as if he had a long tail growing behind him, the end of the tail was held in someone's hand, preventing him from flying but unable to break free from the connection.

Shi Yao continued to smile heartlessly: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you stay in Beijing, we can meet often. If you return to Nanjing, I plan to go back to my hometown to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival next year, to see my grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt, elder brother, second brother, and elder sister."

Since the person is dead, don't hate him or complain about him. It's a waste of energy and emotions.

Forgive them, let yourself go, and live a relaxed and happy life. There are still so many beautiful things that you have not experienced. There are troubles in life, but there is no need to hold on to past troubles. Solve the next trouble quickly!

Isn’t this how life goes?

Shi Mingchen pursed his lips and glanced at Xie Jibai.

Xie Jibai smiled at him and stood there without moving.

Shi Mingchen said bluntly: "It's okay to look at grandparents, but you can't sweep Zhuzhu's grave. We originally built a cenotaph for Zhuzhu next to his and grandmother's graves according to grandpa's will.

Our family's chastity archway was demolished. The clan members hated Zhuzhu so much that they dug up her grave three times. Second Aunt was so angry that she filled up the grave and told anyone who missed Zhuzhu to set up a tablet for her in their room. I didn't do that."

He didn't know whether others stood or not.

Shi Yao was speechless.

Xie Jibai was also speechless.

Shi Mingzhu has angered the public.

Shi Yao nodded and said calmly, "So that's how it is."

When Shi Mingchen saw her expression, he knew that she no longer had any feelings for Zhuzhu. Living such a dignified and happy life, she must have been able to eliminate her hatred for Zhuzhu for marrying her to a merchant, right?

He said goodbye again, waved his hand, and this time he really left.
