C1 The Third Miss of the Shang Book Prefecture
The marriage of the Shang Shu Manor's Second Miss was a joyous occasion for the Third Young Miss's Xiang Zhu Yuan. The maidservants wished that they could celebrate this historic moment by throwing firecrackers, singing and warping songs.
It was not because the Second Miss was normally as good or as bad as they were, but because he was happy with the wedding. In fact, the Second Miss had always been neither cold nor hot to the Third Miss' side, and this included the entire Shang Shu Manor being neither hot nor cold to the Xiang Zhu Courtyard.
There was no other reason. The third young mistress was not favoured. It was because she was a little transparent in Shang Shu Manor.
Shen Weiyuan had a total of four sons and three daughters, all of whom were given by Madam Shang Shu.
Third Miss was different from all the other children. It wasn't really a miracle that she peed once she was born.
The main issue was that the old lady had hired a Daoist Priest to prepare a divination for Third Young Miss. She didn't know what she did to offend this Daoist Priest, but she insisted that Third Young Miss was not yet three years old and wanted to kill her mother.
This is great, how superstitious were the ancients! Besides, she would rather believe it than not. Thus, the Third Miss was given to the wet nurse to carry away as soon as she was born. She did not stay by the mistress's side.
It was already a huge favour from the Shang Shu Manor's mistress, Lady Xu, to choose to stay away from the Third Miss and not just drown herself or send her away. Furthermore, the Third Miss had never been treated harshly by the Lady Xu before, and this alone was enough for Third Miss to be deeply grateful to him.
Third Young Miss Shen Qi was also aware of this point. When she had nothing to do, she would never show her face in front of the Madam in order to avoid attracting her attention. No matter what, a daughter who was determined to keep her life would not be liked by a wife.
Logically speaking, since Shen Qi was already thirteen years old and the Lady Xu was still alive and well, she should be able to prove that the smelly Daoist was speaking nonsense.
This had to do with the fact that Xu was already in his thirties when he gave birth to Shen Qi, and was considered to be a high age parturient. Furthermore, it was only a few years later that this child would be born, so he was exceptionally meticulous with it.
Although it was not life-threatening, it was still a serious illness. The Xu then attributed all of this to Shen Qi's life, and thought that the reason she was still alive and well was because of Yue Zi's great illness.
Furthermore, she could not be reborn, so Xu still did not like Shen Qi.
This series of events happened when Shen Qi was born. When Master Shen heard the servant's report, he took a look and casually said the word "Seventh". Shen Qi was ranked seventh on the list, and was born in the seventh month, so she was named "Seventh". As for the servant girl, she thought that it was "Qi", and so she kept on calling him "qi, qi qi", and so Shen Seven became Shen Qi.
When Master Shang Shu found out, everyone had already started shouting, so they didn't care too much about it. Shen Qi's big name was decided so quickly, but Master Shang Shu usually called her "Xiao Qi".
Master Shen and Lady Xu had always been very loving, and were the role models for the civil and military officials of the imperial court. But Master Shuang Shu had some opinions on the Xu when it came to Shen Qi, so Master Shuang had always been good to Shen Qi.
At first, Shen Qi would still show some of her intelligence, thinking that maybe Xu would like him, but after a few times, she realized that Xu was just plain and plain, without any care at all, so Shen Qi didn't bring about any more humiliation.
That's right, the Xu ignored her, a disregard that was worse than harsh treatment. This meant that no matter what, she would not care about you, so what are you going to show off for? He made himself look like a clown.
In the future, no matter what Shen Qi learnt, she would always display her mediocrity. It would not be shameful if she did not pick anything out, as long as she knew her own standards.
In her previous life, her parents had divorced and each of them had their own family. The only thing they could give her was financial compensation and she rarely had true love.
That's right, did Shen Qi pass through them, or did she pass through them to the body of a little baby? At the beginning, she was quite depressed. It was one thing for him to be an uncontrollable baby, but now, she was even a daughter who was disliked in ancient times. Was there really a need to be so sad?
However, Shen Qi was naturally optimistic, and forgot about it after a while. Being able to live again was already a blessing from the heavens, so she didn't ask for too much, just in case she got struck by lightning.
Unlike her, Shen Qi's sisters were famous talented girls. When they were ten years old, their name was already spread all over the capital.
Shen Qi was impressed by this, the wisdom of the ancient people were not just for show. At that time, Shen Qi felt that there was nothing wrong with it. After all, we had evolved a few thousand years more than them. But when she passed through, she realized that it wasn't like that at all.
Shen Qi knew that even if she were to go all out, she might not even be more outstanding than his two big sisters, let alone crush them with her intelligence.
Therefore, the person that teleported to another world, Shen Qi, knew about the situation, was just peacefully doing her part of the task. She didn't have much of a goal anyways, so she could just treat it as giving up on her old age.
As a result, until Shen Qi turned thirteen and looked like she was about to turn old. Other than those who were extremely familiar with him, very few people outside knew that Shang Shu Manor had Third Young Miss.
Right now, Shen Qi was sitting in her room with her chin held up as she watched the demonic girls dance around. She did not understand why they would be so happy when they were not married off to him.
The maidservants were all so excited that their eyes were brimming with tears. Second Miss had finally gotten married, someone should have noticed Third Young Miss now, right?
As a body that had the soul of a modern man, Shen Qi was not used to taking a servant girl's life as a treat. She was very tolerant of the servants in the yard, so they were all willing to see her live a good life.
The young miss of Shang Shu Manor had entered the palace a few years ago. She was the concubine of the emperor's concubine, the Shen Fei. Second Miss was 18 years old this year, and the matchmaker who had not reached the age of 15 was already on the verge of breaking through the threshold of the Shang Shu Manor, so he had definitely given the marriage to the eldest son of the Loyal Marquis that year, but due to various reasons, he had only gotten married today.
When they heard that the eldest son of the Loyal Marquis was a handsome and talented young master, when they heard that he was going to get married, all the girls in the capital were secretly crying and sighing bitterly.
However, the third young miss of the Shang Shu Manor was unknown, and very few people knew of it, not to mention proposing marriage. Thus, the young maidservants of the Xiang Zhu Courtyard were all worried about the marriage of the third young miss.
What do you think I should do in the future if I don't scheme for myself and the third miss, the daughter that the madame doesn't like, seems like she has nothing to do with me?
Compared to the two young misses, Third Miss was much more ordinary. With the two young misses pressing on her, who would even pay attention to the Third Miss? Thus, upon knowing that the Second Miss was going to be married off, all the big and small ladies in the Xiang Zhu courtyard had a feeling that they could push away the fog and see Yue Ming.
Shen Qi was not worried at all, how could she be? You say thirteen years old, still a child in the modern world, married? Are you joking? Furthermore, she was very happy with her current life and didn't plan to change it yet.
But since the Second Sister was going to be married, he had to at least send her out, so early in the morning, Shen Qi was dug out by the head maid, Zi Zhu. The two maidservants serving by Shen Qi's side were Zi Zhu and Zi Li, the other two were Bai Zhi and Lian Gui, and a wet nurse, Lady Wang. The rest were all swept by the people in the yard.
Shen Qi had learnt plants and environment related specialties in her previous life, so she had been too lazy to name her maidservants. She thought that it was pretty good when she shouted them, and she silently praised herself in her heart.
A thirteen year old Shen Qi still hadn't grown old, and her eyebrows didn't grow. As a result of her constant jumping in her own courtyard, the ones doing yoga were already taller than their peers, and were now around 1.62 meters.
All day long, she had combed her hair into a bun. She wore a bright color without any other decorations, making her look very small. Showing off as a kid is the right thing to do. A grown man wouldn't be as fussy as a child!
He was still wearing a pink dress with ribbons on his head, which made him look quite happy. She already had a face full of smiles, making people happy just by looking at her. This was also one of the reasons why the people of Shang Shu Manor had never treated her so harshly.
Even an old lady who didn't like her would be amiable when she saw her and gently ask her a few questions. He also saw that she had always been obedient and that nothing bad had ever happened to her. Although he did not particularly like her, he did not hate her anymore. The old lady likes sensible people.
Speaking of which, it was actually the old lady who had harmed her. Otherwise, as the youngest daughter of the family, she would have been doted upon to grow up. Do you think that this old lady has nothing better to do? What kind of destiny is she being so superstitious about?!
No one liked a little white flower that always cried, with a frown and a feeling that everyone owed her. Of course, some men were an exception. Her looks were joyous, and she would smile whenever she saw someone. Her eyes were so sweet that they could touch a person's heart. If it wasn't for the fact that she was alive, the old lady might have liked her a lot.
Shen Qi, however, did not mind. The old lady's attitude was perfect, she did not like the old lady, nor did she want to go in front of Caiyi to entertain her. She had killed her with a blow of a club because of superstition.
