"Cai Wan, have you sorted out the big girl's jewelry?" Outside the door was Mother Song's impatient urging, and inside the door, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the beautiful maid wearing Shi Qingbi armor.

Another maid in an apricot-colored shirt, Cai Lan, was sorting out her clothes, and she was a little surprised after a casual glance: "Cai Wan, what's wrong with you?" Usually the most careful and steady person, but today he started to stay? Tomorrow is to go to Bofu to pay homage, are you a little scared? ”

"Nope." Cai Wan smiled reluctantly, put away the jewelry box neatly, and went out to reply, "Mother Song, the eldest girl has three clothes, a set of jade-colored silk skirts, a set of smoke-colored Luo clothes, and a set of aqua blue neon clothes. ”

"Hmm." Mother Song nodded, "It's enough." Ming'er goes to Huan Ningbo Mansion, you must be careful. After a few more words, he took the little girl away. I thought that the big girl only had four or five sets of jewelry in total, and what could be exchanged, it was not easy to make mistakes.

Cai Wan sent Song's mother away, and then turned back to sort out the bits and pieces such as handkerchiefs and sachets, and while cleaning up, he remembered the many dreams he had when he was seriously ill.

Actually, his body was already healed, but he was in a trance for several days, and Cai Wan was able to sort out the dreams little by little, if they were really dreams......

In the "dream", after such preparations, Cai Wan accompanied the eldest girl, and the fourteen-year-old Pu Ruxi went to the late original wife Yan's maiden home Huan Ningbo Mansion to pay homage to her grandfather Yan Xingyuan.

Although the eldest girl's clothes and jewelry are not much, they are barely decent. When I went to my own home, I still said it was in the past. Moreover, the uncle and several uncles will also have gifts and rewards, and even these personal girls who follow the girl can also get a lot of rewards.

In the "dream", Cai Wan remembered that she was properly and happily accompanied the eldest girl.

It's just that I didn't expect that this birthday banquet would become an inexplicable turning point.

Cai Wan thought about it for several days, and then realized that his dream seemed to be several layers, and there were dreams in dreams, as if the singing book talked about the past and present lives.

Thinking of this, Cai Wan was faintly afraid, but she also had an inexplicable certainty, as if those cascading dreams were the reincarnation of one life after another, but she didn't understand why it seemed that the reincarnation was the same and not the same.

In those clear dreams, Cai Wan remembered that the so-called first life was like this, listening to Song's mother's urging, tidying up her clothes and jewelry, and when she said goodbye to Chi's mother-in-law, who remarried the old man Pu and the second girl and the third girl's mother-in-law, Chi gave a white jade forbidden step and hung it on Ruxi's waist with her own hands.

Then I went to Huan Ningbo's Mansion, the traffic was busy, and the flowers were full of flowers, such as kowtowing to my grandfather, and after seeing the gifts to my uncles and aunts, I went to the backyard to participate in the flower banquet of my cousins of the same age.

At first, everything was good, but before the official dinner, the second girl Yan Xuan and the fourth girl Yan Jia, who had never been at odds, quarreled again, and from disagreement when composing poems to ignoring each other. The two cousins have loved each other since childhood, and they often quarreled with each other when they were young, and as they got older, they began to form gangs again. Ru Ji came to Bo Mansion very rarely, and everyone was not familiar with it, so Yan Xuan and Yan Jia came to find Ru Ji at the same time, and wanted to pull her to see different flower scenes.

The fourth girl, Yan Jia, wants to go to the east flower bush to see the newly opened peonies, and the second girl, Yan Xuan, wants to go to the west study to read the scrolls written by the sisters. The two of them grabbed Ruji's sleeves one left and one right, and they were full of fire under the smile like a flower.

At the moment, this should be a dozen hours, that is, tomorrow afternoon. But according to the memory of Caiyun's dream, this is not a trivial matter of sisterhood - in the dream about the first life, Ru Ji finally decided to follow Yan Jia, because Yan Jia is the daughter of Yan Che, the son of the world, and it seems that it is even more difficult to offend.

It's just that the peony flowers in the east are as brilliant and beautiful as Yan Jia said, and Ru Ji didn't have a chance to see them. Halfway through, a fat and fierce wild cat jumped out, the reckless girl lost her hand, and Ruji and Yanjia were knocked into the lake at the same time. At the last moment, Ru Ji instinctively pushed Yan Jia, Yan Jia fell into the arms of the maid who rushed to the rescue, and Ru Ji was picked up by Shi Zhonglang, the second young master of another in-law Shi family, after she was wet.

Because Ruji saved Yan Jia, Bofu gave a lot of makeup. Two years later, Ru Xi Shili married into the Shi family in a beautiful manner.

It's just that in the days after that, Cai Wan was about to chill when he thought about it-Shi Zhonglang was dignified and literary. It's just that he is lustful to the point that he doesn't look like the son of a poet and book. Don't say that the maids and daughters-in-law in the house are all over the place, they are little scholars, and there are few who have not been touched by the second young master.

Before Ruxi entered the door, Shi Zhonglang already had three rooms and two aunts. After getting married, he carried a room for half a year, and later, Ruji couldn't even remember her name and surname, so she simply made up a number to save trouble.

Such a lively backyard is not much more than the palace. Shi Zhonglang can't enter Ruji's room three or five times a year, let alone have children. Fortunately, Ru Ji has a wide heart, and watching the aunts fight each other every day is like watching a play, but it is lively and tight.

It's just that Cai Wan couldn't help frowning, she was originally born with a very good color, and Shi Zhonglang wanted to be a concubine as soon as she passed the door. Ru Ji knew that Cai Wan was unwilling, so he always refused. Go with Shi Zhonglang's temperament, no matter the drama fans, even female Taoists, and little widows, love to wrap it outside, and carry it in if you want to bring it in. But Cai Wan didn't give it, and he said that he wouldn't give anything.

Cai Wan was grateful to Dade for serving Ruxi for three years, and finally cancelled the deed, set the family affairs, and prepared the dowry, but the night before the marriage, he was forcibly insulted by Shi Zhonglang.

Cai Yun, who was ashamed and angry, cried and told Ruxi that she asked her old mother to withdraw from her relatives. As a result, Ruji's face was as pale as a ghost, and she trembled and said, "Xiao ...... Xiao Chen's steward, I asked someone to cripple my leg last night......"

Cai Wan wanted to find Shi Zhonglang desperately, but was forcibly stuffed into a carriage and sent out of Beijing by Ru Ji.

The carriage drove all the way to a hundred miles away from the capital, and Cai Wan saw a silver ticket of 1,000 taels in the baggage, a set of white jade jewelry, and the red agate bracelet that Ru Xi never left his body.

She hired a car and a horse to rush back to Beijing like crazy, but the peach-red and willow-green Shi family's house was already a sea of fire. Later, I learned that Grandma Shi, who has always been virtuous and not jealous, actually poisoned her husband and the little girl next to her husband, of course, Grandma Shi Er herself stabbed it in the throat with scissors, and she couldn't be saved on the spot.

"Caiyun, what's wrong with you?" Ru Xi looked at the most appropriate girl in surprise, "Mother Song said you?" ”

"Girl." Cai Wan instinctively wiped his hand back, only to find that he had burst into tears, and he calmed down, and then said: "It's okay, I think of my uncle's birthday banquet tomorrow, and I think of my deceased grandfather." The distraction made the girl laugh. ”

Ruji pursed her lips slightly: "Next month, let's go to Gyeongbokgast Temple to make a sacrifice for your grandfather." Don't be sad. He took his own silk and wiped his face.

Cai Wan took it and wiped her tears, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, thank you, girl." Let's take a look at tomorrow's birthday gift. ”

Ru Xi nodded, beckoned Cai Lan to go over and sort out the embroidery together. Cai Wan took the ornaments in his hand to the boudoir, opened the old pear wood box, and placed them in the same size in turn.

The second line is a double-layer glazed hollow ball forbidden step, and Cai Wan looked at it and remembered the dream of the second life.

also started from the birthday banquet flower party, it seems that because he knew Shi Zhonglang's human face and beast heart, Cai Wan persuaded Ruxi to follow Yan Xuan to the study.

All the way to the study without any accidents, the calligraphy of the Yan family girls is very good, such as Xi read the past volume by volume, and when it came to the last volume, it was too distracted, so he stepped on a person's foot.

Ru Ji raised her head and blushed, it turned out to be a handsome young man. Later, I learned that it was Shi Zhonglang's cousin, Shi Renlang, the only son of the Shi family's second room. If he apologized, Shi Renlang was also blushing and shy.

Although he hated the Shi family in his heart, how could Cai Wan be a maid affect the Pu family's decision? A year later, the Pu family and the Shi family married, and Ruji married Shi Renlang.

After marriage, the husband and wife are very harmonious, tender and sweet, and respect each other like guests. Listening to the chaos in Shi Zhonglang's courtyard in the next room, Cai Wan was glad in his heart, fortunately he went to the study, fortunately he met the third young master of the Shi family, and he was okay.

It's just that it's okay, and it's only lasted for three years. Three years later, Mrs. Shi passed away, the Shi family split the two rooms, the second lady Zuo, who was originally quite gentle, began to gradually show her temperament, disgusted that she only gave birth to a daughter, first added two rooms to Shi Renlang, and was picky in every way such as unfilial piety, such as a slight justification, Zuo disdainfully said: "What a clear stream, it is clear that your father is greedy for ink and silver for the Shi family to make up, so he married you to fill in the account." What the eldest daughter of an official family, phew! Now that the family is also in difficulty, and your father refuses to repay the debt, then you should be a daughter-in-law as a knitting subsidy for the family, go quickly! ”

Although Shi Renlang and Ruxi are in love, they are not willing to defend themselves in front of their mother. Ru Xi and Cai Wan were forced to work day and night by Zuo's family, and they were treated harshly in food and clothing, and in less than a year, Ru Xi began to cough up blood. Cai Wan desperately begged Shi Renlang, but Shi Renlang wrote a letter of resignation in front of Zuo's order, and sent Ruxi back to Pu's house with tears: "When the study of Bofu fell in love at first sight, he desperately begged his parents to marry. Now that fate is over, I have no choice but to be a husband......"

was Hughed back home, his father Pu Yu scolded him for being useless, and his stepmother Chi was sneering, like Ji was silent and silent for several days. Until the news of Shi Renlang's marriage to Jing Zhaoyin's daughter came, Ruji committed suicide by throwing himself into the water. Cai Wan watched her desperate and thin figure being submerged in the clear water of the lake, tried to stop her but did not stretch out her hand, and finally went to the pool together - what if you don't die? Remarried to Huaizhou to fill the house for the fifty-year-old distant relatives of the Chi family? Or do you want to be a concubine for the lustful and hugely rich Shi Zhonglang? Is it better to belong to this pool of clear water?

The coldness of the lake, the suffocating sting, and the unwillingness to die were so real and clear that Cai Wan couldn't help but bite her finger - didn't she say that it wouldn't hurt in her dreams? What about the pain now, is it real now, or are those dreams real?

After busy preparations, Cai Wan changed the vigil with Cai Lan with a full heart.

After serving Ru Xi finished grooming and extinguishing the lights and candles, the young Ru Xi quickly fell asleep. Listening to her even breathing, Cai Wan only felt that her heart was about to be crushed.

If that dream is not a dream, but two lives that have really happened, then tomorrow's flower banquet, left and right, is a dead end. What the hell is going to do?
