Rebirth of an Abandoned Woman

"Let's go to Lianyan Villa, which is more than 20 miles away from the eastern suburbs. It takes about an hour to get there. There are mountains and lakes there, and the scenery is very quiet! By the way, the crabs you ate a few days ago came from the lake there Got it!"

Shi Fengju said to Sang Wan with a smile.

Sang Wan nodded lightly and said "oh", then tilted her head and smiled and asked: "Liangyan Villa? Is there such a villa in the house? Why don't I have any impression?" Sang Wan said inwardly ashamed. When she sent the crabs, she just asked someone to pick them up and gave them a reward, and she didn't ask which village it was from.

Shi Fengju smiled lightly: "You're right if you don't have an impression, this Zhuangzi is not from the mansion, it was bought by me personally."

It turned out to be private property! Sang Wan's expression froze and she thought to herself that she was busy, why did she inquire about someone's "private money"! "Oh" and no more words. Secretly thought, no wonder he is so generous, he doesn't even blink at repairing the garden for his sister, there are probably a lot of private property!

But Shi Fengju took the initiative to say: "In addition to this place, there are two private villages and five shops, and the annual income is also five to sixty thousand taels. In fact, our family has no private property except for the third uncle and the first house who are officials in other places. My aunt also owns real estate and shops outside, and sometimes she asks me to take care of it for convenience! As long as the foundation of the family is not shaken, these things are actually harmless!" He said with a chuckle, and said: "Even my mother is so afraid of trouble. People who don't like to be troublesome also have a house with three entrances in the south of the city, and two silk and satin shops in the center of Shifang!"

Mother's two silk and satin shops are always on the verge of losing money! If I hadn't asked someone to take care of me secretly, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to continue my business long ago! Shi Fengju added in his heart.

Your family is really rich! Sang Wan sighed in her heart, but she couldn't help but secretly moved in her heart, thinking that if she also bought some fields or a property, she would have someone to rely on in the future no matter what! It's a pity that she has a lot of jewellery, antique jade calligraphy and paintings, silk and satin in her hand, but almost no silver. Those things can only be used and cannot be exchanged for money!

Sang Wan couldn't help feeling depressed, wondering how to save some money. It’s just that the monthly bill of twenty taels looks like a lot, but the amount spent is even more, plus there are frequent rewards, there are really not many left! I really thought about a way to save some time between my teeth. Every penny I save is my own, and holding it can be counted as a reliance, and my heart is at ease. He couldn't wait until the day he left to completely rely on his uncle's charity. In case something changed, his uncle would be unhappy and refused to give it up, she would have no place to cry.

When Shi Fengju saw that the expression on her face suddenly became unpredictable, she didn't know if she heard what he said, and she didn't ask questions with interest as he expected, or asked her to buy private property. Feng Ju couldn't help being a little disappointed. He secretly said in his heart: speak, speak! As long as you say it, I will give you all the Zhuangzi shop under my name!

How did Sang Wan know what he was thinking? Even if she was given ten guts, she wouldn't dare to think about it.

Suddenly felt that Shi Fengju stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull for a moment, which made her a little uncomfortable, and he probably felt the same way.

After thinking about it, Sang Wan smiled and said, "Is there any big crabs in your farm? Although I got a lot of crabs that day, it's a pity that I have been busy greeting my mother, second aunt and eldest sister, and I don't have time to eat two crabs." If there are any more, you have to invite me today!"

Only then did Shi Fengju feel happy again, and said with a smile, "The purpose of taking you there is for crabs, there are plenty of them! There is a lake next to Zhuangzi, which is also my property, and tens of thousands of catties of crabs are produced in the lake every year! The water is good, and the crabs are also good. Every year, I ask Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui to keep most of it, either to eat by myself or to give away.”

"Really?" Sang Wan smiled unconsciously: "It can be seen that I have a good fortune!"

"You can eat as much as you want! Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui knew we were going, so they should have fished crabs and kept them in the village yesterday!" Shi Fengju laughed, seeing her smile with crooked eyebrows and bright eyes , showing pearl-like white teeth, very smart and pretty, I couldn't help feeling soft in my heart, and I smiled and looked a little lost.

The two of them gossiped all the way and the carriage turned into a quiet mountain road. The mountains were verdant, the birds were chirping, the wind was blowing the leaves rustling softly, and the air was filled with a pleasant and fresh smell.

When Shi Fengju saw that there was no one in the mountain forest, he rolled the curtain aside and ordered the driver to slow down and drive slowly. He smiled at Sang Wan and said, "After passing this valley, go through a forest and turn a corner. almost there!"

Sang Wan looked out, and the middle forest of the mountain forest was completely dyed. Various leaves such as red maple, sumac, unknown purple, and reddish brown were mixed in the greenery of the mountain. The colors were so colorful that they were so beautiful. There are also roadsides, hillsides, and forests full of light purple, golden, and snow-white mountain chrysanthemums. I don’t know what the name is, and the clusters of bright red berries hang on the branches with only fruit but no leaves, all of which are attractive.

"The young master really knows how to choose a place! It's so beautiful here!" Sang Wan sincerely praised, her eyes full of admiration.

Shi Fengju leaned over and said with a smile: "Not only at this time, but also in spring, it's even more beautiful here. In summer, the trees are full of shade, and it's also an excellent place to escape the heat. I'll bring you back then!"

"Okay!" Sang Wan casually agreed, smiling sweetly.

But Shi Fengju thought it was her promise not to leave, not to leave him, and she couldn't help feeling relieved, with smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows, "I will definitely bring you here again!"

After passing through the valley and through the woods, I saw a clear and shallow stream bubbling from the corner. The stream was about ten feet wide. There are boulders half hidden and half exposed to the water, stirring up shallow white waves.

On both sides of the strait, wild chrysanthemums are everywhere and bushes are overgrown.

"Go around this bend and we will be there soon! The stream in this area flows from the Linghu Lake next to Zhuangzi!" Shi Fengju pointed and smiled.

"The beautiful stream adds so much beauty to this mountain!" Sang Wan also praised with a smile.

Sure enough, the carriage rounded the foot of the mountain and turned a corner, and the eyes suddenly became brighter, but it was a sparse green bamboo forest with thousands of poles. After passing the bamboo forest, one could see white walls, black tiles, roof ridges and cornices surrounded by green trees. It's Liaoyan Villa.

"Here we come! We're here!" There was chatter and jokes, and before the carriage stopped, a middle-aged couple came up with a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl and three or five servants. The leading woman hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Eldest young master and eldest grandma are counted! The old slave thinks it should be here by this time!"

"Aunt Cui! Uncle Cui!" Shi Fengju got out of the car with a smile, helped Sang Wan down, and said with a smile, "As soon as Grandma came back, she loved the mountain scenery, so she walked slowly!"

The little girl Cui Ling also hurriedly stepped forward to salute politely, and called out crisply, "Young master! Grandma!"

Shi Fengju smiled at her, "Miss Ling has grown taller again!"

Aunt Cui hurriedly stepped forward to Fu Sangwan, and said with a smile: "Grandma is really blessed! The young master is a good person, and the old slave said that I don't know which girl in the family is so lucky!" She said and sighed: "Only the grandma is like this!" His character and appearance are worthy of the young master!"

"Aunt Cui, you are serious!" Sang Wan's face became hot, and she smiled embarrassedly.

Uncle Cui stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Everything is ready in the village, the eldest young master and the eldest grandma go in and have a rest!"

"Yes, yes! It's all my old lady's nagging! Eldest young master and grandma please please!" Aunt Cui smiled apologetically, and everyone surrounded Sang Wan and Shi Feng and went in.

The houses in Zhuangzi are very spacious and bright, and the layout is much simpler. They are not as rich and luxurious as the mansion, but they are more natural, exquisite and unique.

After washing her face and hands for a while, Aunt Cui poured tea with a smile, and said with a smile: "This is Songluo tea made by the old slave himself. It is clean. I don't know if it suits Grandma's taste. If Grandma doesn't like it , the old slave will come to pick up something else."

When Sang Wan heard her question, she knew that Shi Fengju liked to drink this, so she took it with a smile and took a sip. The taste was light, with a faint fragrance of grass leaves, and then she smiled and said: "This is good, I also like it on weekdays." The tea is milder!"

Aunt Cui hurriedly laughed and said, "It's good that Grandma likes it! If you don't mind it, I'll send you a bag and take it back with me!"

Sang Wan smiled and said yes.

Aunt Cui then smiled at the two of them: "I have prepared some mountain-style side dishes for lunch, and the crabs are kept in the pond, and I will cook them for the young master and grandma in the evening. There is still a little time before lunch. Good morning, do you want the young master and grandma to go to the orchard at the back? The pomegranates are growing right now, and a fruit dealer came to ask a while ago. The old slave thought that the young master and grandma would come in the next two days. Let them collect it in a few days!" Then he joked: "Pomegranates are good, the young master and grandma can eat more, more children and more blessings!"

"That's right! When we go back, ask someone to pick up two good baskets and take them back!" Shi Fengju couldn't help grinning in satisfaction when he heard that, and glanced at Sang Wan incidentally.

Sang Wan was slightly embarrassed, she just lowered her head and sipped tea, pretending not to hear.

"That's that! When the time comes, this old slave will go pick it himself, and I will pick the best ones for the young master and grandma!" Aunt Cui smiled.

Shi Fengju also smiled, and said to Sang Wan: "Let's go, I'll take you for a walk to relax!"

Sang Wan couldn't refuse, so she smiled and stood up with a "hmm".

"I'll go, too! I'll lead the way with the young master and grandma!" Cui Ling clapped her hands and shouted crisply.

"Okay! Then let's go together!" Sang Wan said hastily. When she came out this time, Feng Ju insisted on not bringing any girl with her, and only said that there were servants in Zhuangzi, so none of Xingzhi, Liuya, Hongye, etc. came with her. Sang Wan's heart was pounding at the moment, speaking of it, she had never been alone with him before, and she was afraid it would be embarrassing.

"I'm going to get a basket!" Cui Ling cheered when she saw her promise, and turned around at a gallop.

Shi Fengju was very helpless, so he could only smile and be speechless.

Who knows, after a while Cui Ling came back with a basket, and when Aunt Cui sent them out, Cui Ling suddenly raised her head and asked Shi Fengju: "Master, why didn't Miss Gu come?"
