Chapter 47 Wenfei

Wenfei
"Grandma Sun, why isn't Aunt Xu here?" An Cheng touched the small jasmine flower on her clothes and looked at Grandma Sun.
Grandma Sun was taken aback by the sudden question and was momentarily speechless.
Ancheng is strange. Could it be that Xu Auntie didn't even offer her greeting? She wouldn't be so bold, right? Second Master may not support her, and end up humiliating Shen Shi.
而且看老太太的样子，是很疼沈氏和自己的，若真有这样宠妾灭妻的事，她也不会答应。
安澄越想越不对，总觉得这事情还有说不通的地方，李姨娘周姨娘那样子，分明就是一句话都不提。
李姨娘还罢，周姨娘的嘴可不饶人……
“怎么嬷嬷不肯说吗？”安澄看着孙嬷嬷的神情，更加确信这里面有问题。
“这……老奴不是不想说，而是太太不让再提了，姑娘也别问了，只当以后没这么个人就行。”孙嬷嬷是真的为难，说了吧……怕违反沈氏的命令，不说吧……也怕九姑娘不知轻重的去问太太。
They could only talk in vague terms and hope to get by.
Upon hearing that the order came from the Shen family, An Cheng stopped asking and realized that further probing would yield no results and only cause trouble for the others. "Well... nanny, I'm tired."
孙嬷嬷巴不得的应了一声，“老奴带姑娘休息了，慧心这丫头刚刚出去了一趟，老奴把她叫进来给姑娘守夜。”
“好。”安澄自己把床帘放了下来。
An Cheng was sleeping on a bed decorated with carved peach blossoms and inlaid with seashells, with a smoking cage placed inside. She heard the sound of Hui Xin coming in quietly, but through the bed curtain An Cheng couldn't see her, and Hui Xin couldn't see An Cheng either.
安澄还在摸着自己袖口上的茉莉花，杭线法……露针法……十二股……徐姨娘……
孙嬷嬷说，以后再没这个人了。
不是赶出去了，是封口，这个人，再没了。
Ancheng couldn't help but say that this is still a human life, and there is a reason for what Shen did, but Shen, her every motive, is only for her own biological children.
An Cheng cannot, does not want to, and is not qualified to have any preconceptions or opinions about the Shen family because of this incident.
She was just frightened for herself. Since coming here, she admired the Shen family. They are intelligent, beautiful, and handle everything with grace. They have their own way of dealing with both internal and external affairs, with successful children, obedient husbands, and relaxed aunts.
At the same time, she does not show her bitterness to others. She never mistreats her stepmother or step-siblings but instead serves them wholeheartedly. She is also kind.
She is the person that An Cheng wants to become in this era.
But behind these people, there is also blood.
Ancheng asked herself, can she do it?
At least not now.
But do you still plan to continue studying Shen's?
After thinking and thinking, Ancheng still intends to do so.
在床上翻来覆去的，安澄听见慧心在床外面轻轻的说话，“姑娘快睡吧，若是冷，奴婢再烧些碳……”
"I'm not sleepy."
“不困也得养养神，明儿不是还要去姑娘外祖家吗？若是没了精神可不好。”慧心进到拔步床里，在熏笼上放了点安神香。
An Cheng doesn't know when she fell asleep. The next day, she was awakened by Hui Xin. "Miss, wake up. Miss Liu is waiting outside."
"How does Miss Liu wake up so early every day?" At least she didn't pounce on An Cheng's bed directly today.
An Shu waited patiently outside until An Cheng finished dressing up before entering the room. "Look, little sister, this is the headscarf you made for me. I'm going to wear it when I visit our grandfather's house today and show off to Zheng ge ge, as if he's the only one with a sister who can make all sorts of things!"
安淑说完了，又小心翼翼的把帕子收起来，看素心给安澄梳头发，好歹今天不乱指挥了。
"Sister, can you tell me about the people in our maternal family? I haven't met them yet," Shen Shi had of course spoken with Ancheng about it, but she hadn't been back in six years while Anshu made trips every ten days or so.
"Well...there are fewer people in my maternal family, and there aren't as many siblings as our family. My uncle and aunt and my brother Min have all gone to Jiangsu to work, only my second uncle's family is at home..."
“不过也没关系，政哥哥在呢，二舅舅家里的纹表姐性子也好，我们都是能玩到一起去的。”
“不过妹妹，你可要躲着些二房里的斐表妹，她的性子，嗯……”
An Shu's expression was very difficult, as if she didn't know what to say.
"It's not that she's not good, she just cries a lot and sometimes doesn't know how to express herself and ends up crying."
"She's also pitiful. She's not the biological daughter of her second aunt, and her birth mother died early because of her second aunt. Her eldest uncle and his wife have a strong relationship and there are no half-siblings or any of that sort. In the Tong family, she's the only one who is a non-legitimate child, and sometimes she just gets caught up in small things!"
“你别理她就行！”
“什么叫做亲娘为了二舅母早亡了？”沈氏并没和安澄说过这个，只说外祖家清净和气，连安淑口中的“斐表妹”也不怎么提。
As for this, An Shu doesn't know much either, frowning and pondering, "Actually, I don't know much either. There was a time when someone gave me three pairs of gold bracelets, with ruby, red coral, and sapphire... "
“我想着我自己又戴不过来，大姐姐五姐姐当时又都去了庙里，索性带去给纹表姐和斐表妹。”
“我知道斐表妹是个爱多心的，我就自己留了珊瑚的，想着她们两个人都是宝石的应该也挑不出错来了。”
"Who knows, when I gave the red one to the elder sister and the blue one to her, Shoufei cousin still cried and blamed me for thinking she was a bastard and not worthy of wearing the red one... It wasn't until I gave her both pairs of bangles that things finally settled down..."
"But I've never seen her wear it."
"It was at that time that Fei Mei herself said that she did not choose to be born of low status, and her own mother died for the Second Madam. Why do people look down on her openly and secretly, even her own cousin has to distinguish between high and low when giving gifts..."
“然后纹表姐就不让她再说了，我也没去问别人，不知道真假，不过二舅母纹表姐都是很让着斐表妹倒是真的。”
说话间，安澄已经穿好了大衣，素心又给她裹上个兜帽，然后姐妹两个人一起出去，安淑拉着安澄的手，离得很近了才继续往下说。
“论起来，咱们家大伯母那性子就够柔的了，面团似的，可是对待五姐姐也不如二舅母待斐表妹。”
“你许是不知道，二舅母的性子烈得很，对谁都是说一不二的，唯独对斐表妹，有时我都看不下去了，二舅母还让着她，所以我觉得……斐表妹那话，十有八九是真的。”
"Min, my second aunt's son, used to be able to coax her, but now he can't even be found."
"But they can hide from her, we can't..."
An Shu sighed sadly as she spoke.
