Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Zhou Xinyue stood there stupidly for a while, her heart full of mixed emotions, but she still said loudly, "No, I don't agree, sister, you must marry He Shi, I will go to him to discuss your marriage tomorrow."

Jingrou stood up angrily, looked at Zhou Xinyue, and angrily took out a basket, filled with rice and vegetables. After placing the basket, she said angrily: "If you insist on doing this, I will go and say goodbye to Brother He tomorrow. I will never contact him again and never see him again. Without Brother He, I want to see how you can marry me off. Yue'er, don't do these boring things, otherwise I will never talk to you again. I'll go and deliver food to Sandan, you can eat by yourself. Humph!"

After saying that, Jingrou took the basket of rice and stormed out of the kitchen, leaving Zhou Xinyue alone.

Zhou Xinyue said anxiously: "Sister, Sister."

Jingrou strode away angrily. Zhou Xinyue looked at Jingrou's departing back and felt angry.

Jingrou sat by the stove, looking at the fire and thinking all kinds of things in her mind. She must not let any conflict between her and He Shi, otherwise, they would have no one to rely on.

The current situation between myself and Jin Youyuan can be considered as a relationship between the two of us. If what my sister said is true, His Highness and I, he and He Shi, and Sandan are now working hard to learn martial arts. It seems that all situations are very favorable for the three of us, and everyone can be happy.

In this case, Zhou Xinyue sighed inwardly and thought that she should just go on like this and see how the situation develops in the future.

Zhou Xinyue said helplessly when she thought of Jingrou's silly look: "Alas, I didn't expect that I, an only child, would have a sister and a brother in this time and space. I think it's impossible to find such a good sister and brother in modern times. Oh, my silly sister, I'm really angry."

Although Zhou Xinyue was angry, she felt warm inside when she thought about the two of them, and her heart was filled with love that was about to overflow. This was the only comforting happiness that made Zhou Xinyue feel in this time and space.

When Zhou Xinyue thought of this, she also recalled the mistress, Grandma Li who cared about her, and the Third Aunt. Although she would never go back to the mansion, there were still people who loved her there, and Zhou Xinyue was still very grateful.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. Jingrou gently woke her up and said, "Hurry up and get up. Come on and wipe your face."

After Zhou Xinyue wiped her face and rinsed her mouth, the other maids took these away and lifted the gauze curtain. There were seven or eight maids standing outside the room.

Zhou Xinyue said in surprise: "What's going on?"

Jingrou said happily, "You'll know in a moment. Bring it in."

After putting down the things in their hands, the maids bowed and left.

The tables and stools were filled with all kinds of strange things, including ivory, glass beads, red coral, and all kinds of jewelry, gems, and clothes, which were very gorgeous and dazzling.

Jingrou's eyes widened as she said excitedly, "Yue'er, these things are so beautiful and precious. I never thought that thanks to you, I would be able to see so many gorgeous treasures in my lifetime. They are so beautiful. And look, this shelf is specially for you to put these. It's so beautiful."

Zhou Xinyue didn't feel anything when she saw these things. These things were not rare in modern times, but here, they were very expensive.

Zhou Xinyue said calmly: "Just pick whatever you like. There are so many. Why would I need so many things?"

Jingrou smiled and said, "Silly girl, it would be a great sin for me to take these. His Highness gave them to you as a reward to show his love for you. How could you give them to others at will? These things are very gorgeous. You should treasure them. In case you want them in the future, they will be of great use!"

Jingrou said this, looking at these with wide eyes, and carefully placed them on the shelf.

Zhou Xinyue suddenly thought: "Yes, let's keep it first. If something unexpected happens in the future, or if I have to live independently and encounter an emergency, these things can help me."

When Zhou Xinyue thought of this, she decided to take these things to the market to exchange for money when she had time.

Jingrou suddenly said, "His Highness has to go out for a few days. He said he will be back in time for the Mandarin Duck Festival in seven days to spend the holiday with you."

Zhou Xinyue felt empty when she heard that Jin Youyuan was not at home. She smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

Jingrou could hear Zhou Xinyue's disappointment and said, "Let's go see Sandan later. He's training so hard now. I feel sorry for him."

Zhou Xinyue nodded happily and went to see Sandan. Sandan was training very hard in various leg and foot skills, which made Zhou Xinyue and Jingrou feel particularly sorry for him.

When Sandan came to drink water during a break in training, Jingrou wiped his sweat. Sandan said firmly: "Two sisters, please don't feel sorry for me. I feel so happy now. What I want to learn most is martial arts. What I want most is to become a man who stands tall and proud. In the future, I will protect the two sisters and not let anyone bully you."

Zhou Xinyue and Jingrou were both very pleased and praised him. Sandan happily followed a group of teenagers to train hard.

Without Jin Youyuan, Qianlong Mansion was very quiet and deserted. Zhou Xinyue often sat in the yard thinking of Jin Youyuan and missing him.

Zhou Xinyue also fell in love with reading medical books. She often read the medical books left by Goudan's mother, and would also go to the library in Qianlong Mansion to read books to pass the time.

Zhou Xinyue would also make medicine for herself according to the prescriptions recorded in the book to regulate her body. The more she read, the more she loved it. The more she loved, the more she read, and time passed quickly.

Zhou Xinyue took care of herself, and with Jin Youyuan sending her this and that every day, and Jingrou also feeding her in various ways, Zhou Xinyue felt that her health was getting better and better.

Zhou Xinyue occasionally fed the fish, played with Jingrou often, and visited Sandan from time to time. The days passed quickly and it was the Mandarin Duck Festival.

On this day, many maids in the mansion were also very excited, because the Mandarin Duck Festival was the Valentine's Day of the Ding Kingdom. Young men and women came out to find their partners. The streets were decorated with lights and it was very lively, just like the New Year. There were more young men and women on the streets.

Zhou Xinyue was actually quite looking forward to it. Ever since she came to the country of Longding, she had been staying in a large courtyard with no freedom at all. She had never experienced what the Mandarin Duck Festival was like. She couldn't suppress her inner excitement and was very happy.

In fact, Zhou Xinyue was even happier because Jin Youyuan was coming back. She hadn't seen him for seven or eight days, and she was both excited and nervous.

Jingrou was also very happy, because she hadn't seen He Shi for seven or eight days, and she couldn't suppress her joy.

He Shi, dressed in black and looking very capable, ran into the courtyard panting. Jingrou had already changed into a new dress.

When He Shi shouted, "Rou'er."

Jingrou, who was originally chatting with Zhou Xinyue in the yard, suddenly stood up from the pavilion and turned around with a look of surprise.

I ran over happily and shouted, "Brother He."

He Shi rushed over, hugged Jingrou, and spun around happily, saying, "Rou'er, haha, my Rou'er, I finally see you. My Rou'er."
