In their previous life, weren't their love for Chen Muxue just so indifferent, as if they were mentally retarded?
But Chen Muxue had everything going smoothly in her previous life, so they were a family that loved each other. Only she, the "real daughter", was a discordant note in everyone's eyes, and was disliked by thousands of people.
In this life, she has become an existence that they cannot reach, so Chen Muxue can only kill her.
But no matter what, Chen Si successfully put himself in jail.
So during the funeral, only three people from the Chen family helped the spirit to be buried.
When there was a disaster in their hometown, the Chen family moved here for more than 20 years. The original ancestral grave had long been destroyed, so they were buried directly in the cemetery here without returning to their hometown.
According to ancient rituals, a father is mourned for twenty-seven months. During this period, he cannot go home or socialize. He has to build a straw shed in front of the grave and "lay thatch on bricks", which means sleeping on a straw mat and sleeping on bricks. "Rough clothing and food", no drinking, no meat, no bathing, no shaving, no changing of clothes, no sleeping with wives and concubines, no listening to silk and bamboo music, etc.
But nowadays, few people can completely follow the ancient rituals, so most of them just don't drink alcohol, eat meat, have different sexes, and don't have feasts. Then in the seventh month, the seventh month, the thirteenth month, the fifteenth month, etc. Everyone has his own mourning ceremony. You can usually stay at home, stay in seclusion, and just thank guests behind closed doors.
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Zhongfei asked someone to buy a villager's house near the cemetery to guard his late father's grave.
After hearing about this, Shen Zhoujin was a little surprised.
If Chen Boxing did this, it would be okay. Chen Boxing has always loved face and reputation.
But Chen Zhongfei is actually a very calm person. He doesn't care much about face and the like. He cares more about actual interests.
She couldn't guess what he was going to do for the moment, and she was too lazy to think about it any more. Even if he turned over, it didn't matter, she didn't care.
Two days later, Meng Qingrong came back.
All the grains in those places have been planted. It just happened to catch up with the rain for a few days, and some of them are turning green. The progress is gratifying.
Then Meng Qingrong sent the two pieces of land that Shen Zhoujin had sent out and formally handed them over to the border city. After that, they ignored them. The border army treated them as their own farmland, and they usually managed it.
The two pieces of land he left behind were managed by the Meng family. Meng Qingrong came back to take care of the hill behind Jiayi Garden and prepare to plant grapes.
As soon as Meng Qingrong came back, he was taken to practice.
Because of those days of devilish training, Yun Zhongyan passed the unfamiliarity stage and became close to Shen Zhoujin instantly.
After several more martial arts competitions, the brothers quickly became familiar with each other, and this aroused everyone's enthusiasm for martial arts competitions, and they competed every day.
Although Yun Zhongyan is very good at martial arts, he lacks in martial arts. Meng Qingrong was born as a merchant, but he also lacks in martial arts. Usually the two of them go to the Chongyang Sect. Sometimes when Lin Songhan comes over, they pester the Lin Songhan Sect. Both of them are very smart and can see each other every day. to progress.
Shen Zhoujin also often went over to take a look.
Then she thought that it would be better to cheat. Yun Chongyan, who had cheated before, was really powerful. The same martial arts in his hands would be infinitely more powerful.
Jiang Yinchi, who was also beaten, was also very bad. In comparison, Qi Lanqiu and Yan Xizhi, who were already good at martial arts, fell behind.
Although they worked very hard and their progress was not slow, they were not enough in front of the emperor.
In the blink of an eye, it’s July 13th.
Early in the morning, as soon as Shen Zhoujin arrived in the hall, the pink and white old man came over with a bowl of longevity noodles and said with a smile: "I wish Master a happy life and may the sun shine brighter forever."
Others also shouted: "May the youth be happy forever! The sun and the moon will shine forever! The youth will shine brightly, and the music will never stop!"
Shen Zhoujin was really stunned.
She really didn't think about this. She didn't even notice that today was her birthday.
She silently took the bowl: "Be good."
Then she sat down and ate slowly, with several apprentices surrounding her. When she raised her eyes, she could see their beautiful little faces, their clear and big eyes, full of smiles.
Although it couldn't be a grand event, everyone still put in the effort to celebrate her, including clothes, hairpins, food, and a bunch of gifts. Even the little phoenix who couldn't get home flew back and sang her a happy birthday.
We cooked a table of dishes in the evening, and the whole family was lively and happy.
Although Shen Zhoujin was older, he was still young. He secretly drank a few sips of wine, his face turned red, and he felt dizzy. After being talked about by his master for a long time, Shen Zhoujin was amused and hugged him. arm and rested her head on his shoulder.
In her previous life, this birthday had really left a deep impression on her.
Because this is her first birthday since she came back, or it can be said that she just knew her exact birthday.
At that time, Prince Xin and Princess Changning had passed away. In the name of taking care of the children, her step-sibling Xue Qianrou also came in. She was beaten by the mad dog Chen Sanlang while she was in the mansion in the name of an adopted daughter. The injured knee has just healed.
It is said that Chen Muxue has been unhappy because of the death of her mother, so her loving father Chen Bingrong wanted to take advantage of this time to make her happy.
It is said that many guests came, but Chen Boming told her that these people were all here for Xueer. You should be sensible and don't come out to embarrass everyone.
So she was locked up in her room, quietly listening to the noise there. Later, Chen Muxue came over. The little girl was nominally wearing mourning clothes, which were plain but embroidered with silver threads. She was shining brightly. Ying, the pearls and gems on your hair and blouse are as bright as stars.
The same is true for the fourth son of the Chen family, who are extremely gorgeous and beautiful.
Moreover, they were not ashamed at all, and looked at her up and down, showing contempt for her appearance, as if she was not wearing mourning clothes for a child, but something embarrassing.
She, they, really have no respect for the deceased Princess Changning.
You know, let alone the loss of his mother, even for Chen Bingrong, he still has to serve a year of death if he loses his wife.
But there was nothing.
Chen Bingrong couldn't wait to erase the traces of Princess Changning's existence.
However, no one felt strange about such an unreasonable thing at that time.
Chen Muxue smiled delicately and said to her, "Sister, I asked the kitchen to make you a bowl of longevity noodles to celebrate your birthday."
Xue Qianrou was at the side, smiling reservedly, and said to her: "Xue'er has always been soft-hearted, and I haven't forgotten you. Why don't you thank her?"
At that time, she didn't know what green tea was, let alone why she had to rely on charity from an unrelated outsider to eat a bowl of noodles on her birthday.
She felt aggrieved and refused to answer or thank her, expressing her resistance with silence.
Chen Muxue said aggrievedly: "Why is sister unhappy? Are you blaming me? I don't want to either, but dad has invited guests over, and I can't go against dad's wishes. When you learn some etiquette, you can go too."
Chen Boming and others comforted her: "Don't be sad, Xueer, it's not your fault."
"Yes, it's obvious that she doesn't know how to appreciate others."
Xue Qianrou shook her head and said: "After all, you grew up in the countryside, so you still have to train and teach slowly, otherwise you will make people laugh when you go out..."
After hearing these words, she stood up and wanted to overturn the table.
The servant next to Xue Qianrou rushed up and accused her of having no conscience and no education. She said, yes, I have no conscience and no education. I am a savage country boy... Then she took the bowl of noodles and handed it to the servant.
On the head.
This caused a commotion for a long time.
Those people thought she ruined Chen Muxue's birthday mood, blamed her, and scolded her angrily. No one ever thought that that day was her birthday and that they were her relatives.
Fortunately, those things are in the past.
But now, here she is enjoying a feast, surrounded by relatives, and she can do whatever she wants... while Chen Muxue is still eating sour food in prison.
