Chapter 3: Building the Stage (1)
Shang Liyuan gradually recovered after a few days of recuperation.
In addition to the mother who came to visit every day during the few days of recuperation, there was also the sister-in-law.
It's a pity that Shang Yao, who regarded herself as her sister in the previous life, wanted to come to Liyuan several times in this life to offer her goodwill, but was blocked back by Shang Liyuan on the grounds that she needed to recuperate.
Shang Liyuan, who has the memory of the previous life, knows that her sister will not give up so easily, and today this sister will come to the door again, and in a few days it will be the day when Aunt Deng will go to the Buddhist temple to pray, and if she wants to take revenge, this first step must be taken.
"Aru, prepare a reclining chair in the courtyard." After Shang Liyuan finished instructing Ah Ru, she went to the bookshelf and picked up a book and walked towards the courtyard.
When they arrived in the courtyard, Aru had already set up a deck chair, with seasonal fruits and refreshments next to her.
"You go and get your hands dirty." Shang Liyuan lay down on the chair after saying to Ah Ru, picked up the book in her hand and flipped through it.
-------
"My sister is really leisurely, my sister hasn't seen my sister for a few days, but I miss my sister." Shang Yao, who had been blocked from the door for several days, did walk into the courtyard by himself today.
Ah Ru, who heard the voice in the room, walked out of the room, stood beside Shang Liyuan, and saluted Shang Yao, "I've seen the second miss." ”
Shang Liyuan put down the book in her hand and looked at Shang Yao, who was only seven years old in front of her, who would have thought that a seven-year-old child could be able to do this kind of poison, "It seems that my sister's etiquette is not very good." ”
After speaking, he didn't care what Shang Yao thought, he picked up the book in his hand and read it again.
At this time, Shang Yao's eyes were full of shock, and he didn't understand how the gentle and kind sister before could be like this, but he still had to salute Shang Liyuan, "My sister has seen my sister." ”
The maid behind Shang Yao also followed her young lady to salute like Shang Liyuan, but the disdain in her eyes still revealed her thoughts.
"Is there anything wrong with my sister's visit this time?" Even if Shang Liyuan knew in her heart, Shang Yao's trip was to test her previous illness, and secondly, it was naturally for Aunt Deng to worship the Buddha and pray for a few days.
Shang Yao saw that Shang Liyuan didn't mean to let herself sit down, her face was slightly angry, in the end, it was the heart of a young child, even with Aunt Deng's edification, she still revealed the thoughts in her heart.
But when he turned around and thought about his purpose today, a smile appeared on his little face again, and he walked to Shang Liyuan's side.
"In a few days, my mother wants to go to the temple to pray for my sister, and my sister thinks..."
"Mother? I don't know if the mother in my sister's mouth is what Aunt Deng is talking about? Shang Liyuan didn't wait for Shang Yao to finish speaking, and asked.
Shang Yao never thought that she had always shouted "mother" before, how could she be today...
"My sister wants to say that Aunt Deng is going to the temple to pray for blessings, and I want to ask my sister if she has anything to ask for?" Shang Yao lowered her head and asked cautiously.
"Aunt Deng just has this heart, my sister's body is almost recuperating now, and there is nothing to ask for, according to my sister's wishes, there is no need to trouble Aunt Deng." Shang Liyuan refused.
"Okay, sister. Then the sister will go first, and the sister will tell the mother what the sister means. Auntie's. After speaking, she blessed Shang Liyuan and left with the maid.
"Miss, do you want to continue reading?" Seeing Shang Yao leaving, Ah Ru asked softly.
"Yes." Shang Liyuan replied, just when Ah Ru thought that her young lady would not ask any more questions and was about to leave.
"Aru, what did you say my sister was doing here?" Hearing Shang Liyuan's question, Aru flashed puzzled between her eyebrows, but she still replied respectfully, "The slave doesn't know." ”
When Shang Liyuan heard the answer, she frowned, "Go and get busy with you." ”
Ah Ru looked at her young lady, blessed herself and left the courtyard, leaving Shang Liyuan to continue to look at the book in her hand.

Chunxia Garden
"Mother, do you think she knows something?" Shang Yao, who left Liyuan and returned to Chunxia Garden, asked as soon as she saw Aunt Deng.
"Hmph, what if you get it? What can she do with a little girl? Aunt Deng replied disdainfully, "When the matter of praying for blessings comes out in a few days, it is only right to increase my good name." Your grandfather has already made a plan for me, and when I have another son, see how I clean up the girl. ”
Aunt Deng was originally the concubine of the Hubu Shangshu, and when she was young, her heart fell on him after seeing Shang Rong. However, Qin's maiden family, that is, Qin Shengxian, the secretary of the ministry, and the merchant set the Qin family, thinking that he could win the position of a flat wife by virtue of his mother's status and power.
But how do you know that Shang Rong is a civil official who is infatuated with the Qin family, who was born in the soldier's family.
In order to marry Shang Rong, Aunt Deng did not hesitate to cook cooked rice with Shang Rong's raw rice, and even cried in front of the Qin family, saying that she did not ask for a name, but only wanted to be by Shang Rong's side. And after becoming an aunt, he is a good person who pretends to be a good person in front of the Qin family.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and this applies to the back house.
Just like Aunt Deng now, she didn't ask for anything when she said at the beginning, but she has always coveted the position of the housewife.
"Mother, have you already thought of a plan?" Aunt Deng never concealed her ambitions and scheming in front of Shang Yao.
"Well, don't worry about this, you learn more from that girl in your Liyuan, only two years old, why does she learn things so fast, you should start learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and after a while, I will find your grandfather to find a good upbringing for you and learn etiquette." Aunt Deng said to herself, regardless of Shang Yao's unwillingness to hear that her mother let her learn from Shang Liyuan, "In the future, my Yao'er will enter the palace to be a nobleman, and she must not be talented in etiquette." ”
Shang Yao nodded when she heard Aunt Deng's words.
Since the last time I celebrated my great-grandmother's birthday and met the princesses and princes of the royal family at my grandfather's house, I have a little more yearning for the life of the palace.
