Lady of Rebirth

"Miss, these are all your favorite clothes and jewelry, why don't you take them with you?" Zhihua helped Zhong Ming pack her luggage, but Zhong Ming asked her to pick up some plain clothes, and the box full of gold, silver and jewelry was only picky. Unremarkable, Zhong Ming is good-looking and wears gorgeous clothes. The Zhong family is a wealthy family, and the clothes are not heavy. Zhong Ming dresses up like a peacock in heat all day long, attracting bees and butterflies everywhere. The eyeballs of the girls are about to fly out, and they all want to take her into the room, while the girls and sisters-in-law want to scratch her face, make you flirt, and let you seduce people everywhere.

Zhong Ming was wearing a moon-white skirt with moiré embroidered on the sleeves and collar, which was not too plain, and a peony hairpin was inserted in his hair, with a pearl embedded in the middle. Tasting the new tea just served in the tea house, he said in a disdainful tone: "What do you know, if you wear these clothes in the capital, you will only be laughed at, saying that I am a country bumpkin who has never seen it."

Zhihua wondered: "Hey, miss, you have never been to the capital, how do you know what the people like in the capital?" Zhong Ming's mother, Song Wenshu, was married far away, and rarely interacted with her mother's family in the capital. The only time was Zhong Ming's tenth birthday At that time, the old lady of the Song family brought her grandson Song Junjie to live for a while, and since then, Zhong Ming has never forgotten her cousin.

The reason why Zhong Ming thinks this way is that when she was in the Song Mansion in her previous life, she was once laughed at in private by several concubines, saying that Su Zimo deserves to be born in a scholarly family, and her clothes and accessories are always simple and elegant, unlike some people who only know how to use money. Hitting people, that look, that taste, tsk tsk, after all, she came from a small place, so vulgar, she was so angry that she broke a white porcelain Guanyin purification bottle that she had just bought for 500 taels of silver.

Zhong Ming said: "Bring more silver. There are many clothes shops in the capital. They are of good quality and new styles. Why bother to take them all the way there, and be looked down upon by others." No matter in the past or present, silver is always a good thing. She was obediently accepted by her money.

After picking and picking, I still packed three big boxes of clothes and jewelry.

Song Wenshu hadn't returned to her natal family for so many years, so she naturally prepared generous gifts. There were three of them in this family, with four maids in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and four servants in Fulu Shouxi, and two carts full of things. They headed for the capital without any delay on the way. It arrived in a few days.

The Song Mansion is on Chaoyang Avenue, and the two stone lions at the gate are very imposing, but the capital is full of dignitaries. The Song Mansion is not considered a big family in the capital. Master Song was a Hanlin scholar when he was alive, but it is not as good as the previous generation. Song Junjie's father only The sixth-rank Zuosi doctor, and Song Junjie is even more unscrupulous. He is already a weak crown, but he doesn't even have a reputation. His marriage to Su Zimo was arranged by the old man and Su Zimo's father, Su Houye. Mr. Song's student, Song Junjie was very smart when he was young, and he looked like a beautiful jade. Su Houye naturally agreed. Unexpectedly, the older Song Junjie was, the less he lived up to expectations. Fortunately, his character was still good, so Su Houye did not retreat. Let go of this marriage.

It has been 15 years since Song Wenshu returned to her natal family for the first time. Looking at the grand gate of the Song Mansion, she couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Back then, Song Wenshu wanted to marry Zhong Yuanda, but the old man disagreed. After all, Song Wenshu was also a lady from an official family. The so-called scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have the lowest status. If Song Wenshu insists on marrying, they will sever the relationship between father and daughter. Although Song Wenshu is a female generation, she is very stubborn. Therefore, Zhong Yuanda respected his wife very much, and even grew from a small businessman to a wealthy businessman with a wealth of wealth and only one precious daughter. She once wrote a letter asking Song Wenshu to come back, but Song Wenshu still refused because of her strong temper. She didn't want her sister-in-law to see a joke. If it wasn't for Zhong Ming, she might never want to set foot in the gate of the Song Mansion again in her life.

The people in the Song Mansion received the letter knowing that the young lady and uncle were going to Beijing, so they cleaned up the mansion inside and out a few days ago. Getting off the carriage, mother and daughter meet each other, it is a touching scene.

When Zhong Ming walked out of the car with Zhi Hua's hand, everyone in the Song family couldn't help exclaiming, Miss Biao is really a beauty, but she is as bad-tempered as rumored, extremely difficult to serve.

Sure enough, I heard Zhong Ming say: "The carriage is so high, how can I get down, come over and make a foot for me."

Ding Laixi, a member of the Zhong family, quickly squatted down, but Zhong Ming said: "We are very tired after coming from a long distance. Besides, we are just guests. There is no reason for my family to do such a trivial matter. Mother, do you think so?" ?”

Along the way, Zhong Ming was very well-behaved. Song Wenshu thought that she had become sensible after a serious illness. Unexpectedly, just after arriving in the capital, her eldest daughter fell ill again, so she had to sneer at the old lady: "Ming'er is not sensible, let the mother I'm laughing at you." Then he winked to make the bell ring down.

Zhong Ming ignored him, pointing at a young servant from the Song Mansion with his jade finger, and said: "You, come here."

The old lady was very happy to see her daughter's family, she didn't care about Zhong Ming's little tricks, she said to the boy: "I'm still going to help Miss Biao get off the car."

Zhong Ming recognized that the boy was following his cousin, and those who didn't see him could only vent their anger on him first, stepping on his back, and when he got up, he stretched his legs and tripped, the boy fell into the mud, and the bell rang He clapped his hands and laughed, "What a stupid thing."

When I arrived at the gate of the Song family, I scolded the Song family for being stupid. Even if they were servants, that would be a slap in the face. Even the old lady's complexion was a little ugly, not to mention how much hatred the young servant had in her heart. Other servants of the Song family People think, this cousin is really savage.

Song Wenshu naturally saw that Zhong Ming tripped the servant on purpose, and she couldn't scold her daughter for being ignorant in front of so many people because of this servant, so she just pretended not to notice, and said, "Ming'er, hurry up and meet your grandmother and aunt. .”

Zhong Ming felt a little angry, and felt a little better, so she accepted it as soon as she was good, so that no one would think that she was uneducated. She walked up to Mrs. Song and bowed gracefully, and said sweetly: "Ming'er has seen her grandmother." She stretched her hand to the side , Zhihua handed over the gift box, and Zhong Ming said, "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain. Ming'er hopes that grandma will be in good health and have a long life."

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Song took it with a smile, looked at her granddaughter, and saw that she was delicate and watery, really lovely, "I haven't seen her for a few years, Ming'er has grown so big, and she is so beautiful, even more beautiful than your mother." Looks good when you're young."

Song Wenshu took Mrs. Song's arm and said coquettishly, "Is my daughter ugly now?"

Zhong Ming's beauty is completely inherited from her mother. Song Wenshu's looks are extraordinary, and the Zhong family has a lot of money for her to take care of. Except for her body, her face has basically remained the same, and she has more charm. In contrast, her sister-in-law, Song Junjie's mother, Ma Yue'e, was much older because she lost her husband in her early years, but she was a few years older than Song Wenshu, but she seemed to be ten years older, with wrinkles on her forehead.

Ma Yuee was somewhat embarrassed when she saw Song Wenshu. Back then, her husband was a sixth-rank official, and her sister-in-law married a small businessman. Her sense of superiority made her say a lot of unpleasant things to Song Wenshu. Back then, old man Song severed the relationship with Song Wenshu. Well, Ma Yue'e also has a lot of "contributions". Now that her husband is dead, the power of the Song family is in the hands of the old lady. Even her son refuses to listen to her. Life is really uncomfortable. Now my sister-in-law has come back home, No matter how I feel in my heart, my face will naturally be ugly.

Song Wenshu naturally saw it in her eyes, and logically she should be happy in her heart, but it's a pity that her daughter didn't live up to it, she fell in love with his son, and she desperately wanted to be in-laws with him, so how could she hold her head up, pulled Zhong Ming to Ma Yue'e, and said: "Ming Son, this is your aunt, hurry up and call someone."

Zhong Ming naturally knew that her aunt was greedy for money and cowardly, she had no ability at all, she only knew how to stir up trouble, and was invincible, but she still pretended to see her for the first time, called her aunt affectionately, and gave her a gift: "A small gift is not a respect. , I hope my aunt likes it."

When Ma Yuee opened the box, it was a gold bracelet, shining golden and not light in weight, she immediately smiled and said, "I'll let you spend the money."

Zhong Ming pretended to be naive and said: "It's not expensive at all, my mother can't wear enough bracelets like this."

Ma Yuee's smile froze on her face.

Song Wenshu almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly reprimanded: "You child, how do you talk?" Then he said to Ma Yue'e, "Children are ignorant, sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart."

Ma Yuee said shyly: "No, no." The bracelet was tightly clenched, and she was not willing to throw it back.

Zhong Ming had expected this to happen, so he sneered, and then continued to distribute gifts. Zhong Yuanda was well prepared, not only did all the masters of the Song Mansion have gifts, but also all the servants were not disappointed, and the unhappiness just now disappeared immediately.

After the Zhong family settled down, the family sat in the living room to do their daily chores.

Mrs. Song took Zhong Ming's hand and asked: "Ming'er is 15 years old this year, isn't he?"

Zhong Ming looked around and asked, "Where is Cousin Junjie?"
