Rebirth of an Abandoned Woman

However, Sang Wan knew that Wang was both coaxable and moody. Although she was embarrassed in her heart, she did not dare to show any hesitation on her face. After hearing this, she nodded and said, Don't worry, mother, Wan will not embarrass mother!

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: That's good, that's good! Your family is from a scholarly family, and I believe you will not lose to others! Wan Niang, this is not only my mother's face, but also your face. When the time comes, Qingzhou Many high-class ladies and ladies in the city will be present. After seeing your true talents, let’s see who dares to look down on you!”

Yes, mother! Sang Wan's heart tightened, and she suddenly became a little nervous.

Well, Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded: As long as you understand! Go back! There is no need to come over to say hello these days. Just tell me what books you want to read. If there is nothing in the house, let the butler send someone to buy it!

When Sang Wan heard this, she almost laughed and cried. Is it true that learning is something that can be achieved overnight? But now that the mother-in-law has spoken, these two or three **** have to show off. He expressed his gratitude, got up and left.

Originally, Gu Fangzi would definitely accompany such a banquet, but Gu Jin made such a fuss, which made Wang feel a little guilty. She was also afraid that Mrs. Zhuang would have a bad mouth and deliberately provoke Sang Wan and Gu Fangzi, so she simply told Gu Fangzi, Let her stay in the house.

Of course, Gu Fangzi took this as a warning sign that she had fallen out of favor in front of her aunt. Although she was obedient and generous, she understood and agreed, but she could not help but feel angry in her heart. She resented that she had an unreliable father who not only couldn't make decisions for her, but also caused trouble all the time. I also complained about Wang's partiality.

After thinking about it, Gu Fangzi suddenly felt that having a father was not as good as Sang Wan, whose parents both died! After all, she has a reliable brother, but she has nothing!

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel even more sad, and secretly shed many tears.

The night before the banquet, Grandma Jiang personally sent new clothes and matching jewelry to Sang Wan in Ningyuan.

Off-white stand-up collared middle coat, two-color light gold and peach red sweetheart collar embroidered with small hibiscus flowers, a plum-shaped mutton-fat white jade collar at the neckline, and a smooth and soft pigeon blood ruby ​​in the heart; colorful autumn fragrance A floral-patterned smoked gauze pleated skirt, gold and silver threads as thin as hair are finely woven and trimmed, and the palace ribbons, rings, and sachets are all exquisite.

A double long hairpin made of jasper and diamond flowers, a peach blossom hairpin with jasper dotted beads, embellished with strings of tassels as thin as silk, and a thumb-sized garnet red bead at the end. It comes in various colors to cover the heart and temples. It is a complete set of carefully crafted jewelry. Mainly made of high-quality jade, with chiseled gold, pearls, and gemstones, it is radiant, graceful, and luxurious.

The great tailor and great shopkeeper of the embroidery shop are indeed worthy of their reputation. This set of clothes and jewelry perfectly highlights Sang Wan's appearance and temperament. She is luxurious but not vulgar, and her splendor is graceful and elegant.

Liu Ya and others arranged the clothes and jewelry. Everyone was amazed and praised them. Sang Wan also liked them very much. She smiled and thanked Grandma Jiang again and again.

Aunt Jiang smiled half-consciously and half-unconsciously: The eldest lady said, eldest grandma can just wear it! Sooner or later, eldest grandma will be the head of the Shi family, and there are many good things! Then she picked up a pair of gold-inlaid jade bead pendants and said to her. Sang Wan smiled and said: It is rare to see such round and transparent jadeite with such good water head. Not to mention Qingzhou, there is no other pair in Jiangnan. This pair of pendants is the treasure of the eldest lady! It hurts so much Miss, the eldest lady was not willing to give anything to the eldest lady when she got married!

Sang Wan looked at the pendant. It was as big as a thumb, round and lovely, as green as a spring water without any impurities. It was much greener and more transparent than her own pair of high-quality jadeite bracelets, so she knew that Aunt Jiang was telling the truth. .

Then he smiled and said: What virtues are there for Wan Niang? Since my mother treats her so well, I can only double my filial piety to her! Please tell my mother that Wan Niang deserves to receive such a precious gift. When she comes back from the banquet, Wan Niang will do it again. Give it back to mother!

Aunt Jiang secretly praised: Grandma is really good at talking! He clearly didn't dare to accept the eldest lady's treasure, but what he said was very reasonable and well-founded. Even if the eldest lady took it back, she would not lose face and be stingy.

Aunt Jiang smiled quickly and said: Grandma, please don't say that! The eldest lady has specifically told me that these jewelry are for Grandma. Grandma should put them away after returning from the banquet!

Sang Wan was slightly startled and suddenly felt more pressure. The mother-in-law even took out the treasures at the bottom of the box. It can be seen that she can only win and not lose at this banquet, otherwise——

Thank you, mother, Sang Wan! It's getting late, please come back, mama! We'll talk about it when you get back from the banquet! Sang Wan said with a smile.

If the banquet was messed up, of course she wouldn't have the shame to ask for these jewelry.

Grandma Feng thought about it and then left with a smile.

Early the next morning, Sang Wan solemnly dressed herself up, checked again and again that everything was correct, and took Grandma Li, Liu Ya and the two little girls to Wang's place.

Mrs. Wang was already waiting. When she saw Sang Wan, her eyes lit up. She looked at her carefully, nodded frequently, and said with a smile: My Wan Niang is indeed beautiful! Look, can you find another one in Qingzhou who looks like this?

Everyone laughed and said: Not only does he look good, but he is also dressed like this. You can't find anyone else in Qingzhou!

Wang was so happy that she ordered someone to bring the treasured Tianshui blue handkerchief and replace it with the red silk handkerchief in Sang Wan's hand.

Sang Wan took it with a smile and thanked her, suddenly thinking of human puppets.

She is worse than a puppet. A puppet does not need to think. Today she is going to fight a tough battle.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the house in a glamorous manner, and took a group of maids and women by car to the banker's compound in the south of the city.

The banker is also one of the most wealthy families in Qingzhou, not to mention the lavish decoration of the house. This day Mrs. Rizhuang held a banquet in the Yuhua Pavilion in the garden. The long and exquisite attic with a roll shed is located among a field of colorful flowers and trees. It faces the water on one side and a stage is built beside the water. When you have a banquet and have fun in the pavilion, you can enjoy the picturesque scenery, and the clear sound of the water blowing in the wind. It can be said that it takes a lot of ingenuity.

When Sang Wan and Wang arrived, there were already many ladies and young ladies in the banker's garden. They saw fragrant clothes, gleaming jewels, and clear rings, chatting and laughing constantly, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. Elegant floral and powdery fragrance, so lively.

Hey, Sister Shi is here! Mrs. Zhuang greeted her with a smile, her eyes lit up when she saw Sang Wan, she couldn't help but take Sang Wan's hand and look at it carefully, and said with a smile: Is this Wan Niang? Haha, as expected, a man in gold needs clothes! I almost can’t recognize him when he’s dressed up like this!” Then he smiled at everyone and said, “Do you think Sister Shi’s new daughter-in-law is pretty? Isn’t she pretty? At first glance, she doesn’t look better than that. The daughter of a rich girl raised in a boudoir!

Everyone loves to watch the excitement, and it is impossible not to be jealous of the Shi family. How can we not have fun with this opportunity? They all smiled and said It's really good!.

Mrs. Wang's face changed slightly with anger, her breath was stuck in her chest and she couldn't come up or go down. She wanted to snatch Mrs. Bai Zhuang, but she was so anxious that she had nothing to say and could only stare.

Sang Wan smiled softly, calmly pulled her hand back, bowed slightly to everyone, supported Mrs. Wang, smiled shyly, and said to Madam Zhuang: Madam, Wan Niang is unworthy of your praise! The Sang family is studying in farming. Wan Niang’s family is no more wealthy than Madam’s family. Thanks to the great love of the old man and her mother-in-law, Wan Niang is lucky enough to join the current family, which is really Wan Niang’s blessing. Her mother-in-law is kind and treats Wan Niang like her own daughter. She is good at everything in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Wan Niang is actually sincere You deserve it! Only by serving your mother-in-law more carefully and being filial can you repay your mother-in-law's love!

These words not only relieved him, but also praised Mr. Wang well.

Mrs. Wang was so happy that her depression was swept away. She patted Sang Wan's hand gently and smiled proudly: You are a member of the Shi family when you enter the door of our Shi family, and what belongs to the Shi family is also yours! Wan! Mother, you are well-educated, virtuous and filial, and your temperament and bearing are higher than ordinary people. No wonder the banker's girl is making a fuss! After saying this, he laughed.

Everyone thought the same thing. No matter what Sang Wan was like in the past, now she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shi family. Doesn't everything in the Shi family belong to her? The marriage decided by the elders of this family is a sure thing. As long as no big taboos are violated, there is no possibility of divorcing his wife in the Shi family! There will be a lot of time for the big guys to deal with each other in the future, so what are you going to do to offend her? It's better to take the opportunity to build a good relationship and win a favor!

So they all caught up and talked about it, laughed and talked about it, and praised him greatly.

Mrs. Zhuang was so bored that she stopped with a smile and invited everyone to sit down in the pavilion.

When noble ladies get together, they rarely have a meal first, and then enjoy the flowers, listen to the opera and have fun.

As soon as the banquet was lined up, the ladies and ladies took their seats. As the daughter of the richest family in Qingzhou, Wang naturally sat at the head table and introduced Sang Wan to the ladies present one by one. Mrs. Li and her daughter, the wife of Qingzhou Zhizhou, Mrs. Xia and her daughter-in-law, the wife of the owner of Xiaji Bank, the wife of the head of the Li family, Mrs. Zhuang's maiden sister-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang's niece Tang Yuzhen - what Mrs. Zhuang calls talented women etc.

Sang Wan subconsciously stole a few glances at Tang Yuzhen. She was about the same age as herself. She had an oval face, slender shoulders, fair skin, and pretty facial features. She was wearing a pine-colored embroidered dress. She was graceful, reserved and moderate, with a strong bookish air. Come to think of it, he is indeed a man who reads poetry and books.

Keenly aware of Sang Wan's gaze, Tang Yuzhen raised her eyebrows and gave her a friendly smile. Sang Wan hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed, so she smiled back.

Tang Yuzhen's smile was reserved and dignified, showing a noble yet calm attitude. How could she have such a high self-esteem if she wasn't truly talented and learned?

Sang Wan felt a little uneasy, hoping that Mrs. Zhuang would change her temper and stop causing trouble. Apparently even she believed in this possibility.

Needless to say, the delicacies on the dinner table were sumptuous and luxurious. The ladies, who were usually picky, couldn't help but praise them. Du Sangwan ate without knowing the taste, just thinking about what was about to happen.

After the meal, the maids and servants carried the dining table out, burned incense and poured tea. After rinsing their mouths, the ladies and ladies sat in the hall drinking tea and chatting and joking.
