Chapter 290, Family Status
“Aren’t you going to get married next year?”
Jing Shirong coughed and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, what my mother means is that we will go to the church to get married first, and as for having children, we will talk about it in a few years."
After all, it is impossible for a girl raised by someone else to marry you early and have children, as that would be bad for her health.
Children from poor families are sold to the groom's family as child brides, and they have to be raised for several years before they can have children.
What's more, the Liang family's family background is pretty good, and they are not in a hurry to sell their daughter, so they are naturally reluctant to let their children get married and have children early.
Including this moment, Mr. Jing was embarrassed to speak in front of Mr. Wu.
Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he said, "Well, Sister Wu, when I go to Jiangnan this time, I actually want to tell you, can the wedding date of Brother Rong and Sister Ying be set this year?"
“Well, the marriage approved by His Majesty to Brother Rong is only for this year. There may not be time next year, so.”
Ouch, she really couldn’t say it.
Their son has fallen in love with his best friend's daughter, and she has not even had hair extensions yet, so they would say this, and they feel embarrassed even thinking about it.
Mrs. Wu was also stunned, "What do you mean? You said the wedding date has been brought forward?"
"this"
Her original idea was to get engaged this year, give out the betrothal gift next year, and then marry Sister Ying around the Chinese New Year, so that the two years would not be too rushed.
Who would have thought that the Jing family would suddenly mention the wedding this year.
Jing was embarrassed herself and coughed in embarrassment, "Don't be angry first, that's what I think. Brother Rong is working for His Majesty now and is really busy. Sometimes I want to find him, but I don't even know he is there. where."
“So for this marriage, I thought since he has marriage leave this year, I’ll let them get married first.”
“But don’t worry, Sister Ying is still young and I understand all this. After she comes over, I will let them sleep in separate rooms. I will let them sleep in the same room after two years.”
Since they are all mothers and have daughters, they are naturally reluctant to give their daughters to others so early. Mrs. Jing also understands Mrs. Wu's worries.
Hearing this, Mr. Wu frowned, still feeling that he was in a hurry.
"There is no rush to decide this in advance. We will discuss it after the child's father comes back."
Jing hurriedly said yes, "Okay, this matter is not urgent. Anyway, there is still a year, so you can discuss it. If it doesn't work, let's get engaged first."
Since they are all mothers, they naturally want to give their children the most dignified wedding, so Jing didn’t decide what to do.
After all, Mr. Wu is the one who marries his daughter, so of course he must listen to the woman’s family.
Moreover, the girl is still young, so it is normal for a mother to be reluctant to go home too early.
Jing’s heart is equal to his heart, so he puts Wu’s priority in everything.
Mrs. Wu also felt her sincerity, so she stopped being agitated. She calmed down and planned to discuss it with Liang Jin in the evening before making any plans.
For them, there is really no need to be so anxious about this marriage.
Even if sister Ying and her son get married next year, it is not impossible to discuss marriage.
Even if Jing Shirong doesn’t have a wedding holiday next year, he can always find time to come back to worship, right?
After they get married, they can still go on errands together. There is really no need to rush.
Jing's everything is dominated by her, "We all listen to you, and it's okay."
Mrs. Jing also said, "Even the children are not very old, so there is no need to worry." Mrs. Liang was the most generous. She smiled and said to Mrs. Jing, "Sister, let's go. I will take you to take a flower petal bath." ”
There is a lady project here in Jiangnan, which is a beauty salon that can provide beauty and hair care.
But it’s not called a beauty salon, it’s called Huanyan Hall.
Huanyan Hall is also Murong Yun’s property, and they were all imported from outside.
Not only can you have a beauty salon, but you can also take a hot spring bath.
Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Jing recommended, "It is said that the flower petal bath uses hot spring water, which I have never heard of. But Sister Ying took us there once before, and the water in that pool was really hot. , it will feel comfortable after soaking for a while, and you can sleep all night after soaking.”
Mrs. Jing had heard of hot spring water before, but had never really enjoyed it. She immediately wanted to try it.
“Is it really that magical? Did you boil the water and put it into the pond on purpose?”
Mrs. Liang said hurriedly, "No, no, that's real spring water. It comes out hot. It's a little hot on the face, but it's just right when you get into the pool. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to try it."
Mrs. Jing's curiosity was really aroused by her, so she didn't put it off anymore, "Okay, let's go and try it. I'll treat you."
Fortunately, she brought a lot of banknotes with her before going out, so she could not lose face in front of her in-laws.
Mrs. Liang smiled and said, "What are you talking about? It's a guest who comes to the door. How can you ask the guest to pay. Don't worry, I'll treat you. I have money."
Mrs. Jing was concerned about face and said bluntly, "No, how can a man come to a woman's house and ask her to pay for it? I paid for it, so don't **** it from me."
Old Mrs. Liang laughed, "Why are you in a hurry? We haven't gotten engaged yet. Besides, I'll invite you first this time, and you can invite me back next time, right? Don't **** this from me, let's go quickly, then Huanyan Hall is far away from here.”
Mrs. Wu also said, "Yes, it's still a day's journey from here. Let's go together when the children come back in the evening."
Since Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Jing have come all the way here, of course we have to take them here for a few days to experience the fun places in Jiangnan.
Mrs. Jing did not expect that this place would be more prosperous and lively than the capital city, and she felt very good all of a sudden.
“Old sister, I’m not telling you that you are better off than me. You can still enjoy the blessings here even when you are old, and your life is not an ordinary one. No wonder you are getting younger and younger.”
Mrs. Liang smiled and said, "Who says it's not the case? The fortune teller said before that my face is blessed with good luck. No, it's a pleasure to be able to come here to take care of myself when I get old."
In fact, the main reason is that Mrs. Wu is capable and manages the family in an orderly manner. With no shortage of money, Mrs. Liang does not have to worry about her livelihood or her children's studies. She can naturally eat well and be healthy.
Mrs. Jing also secretly praised Mrs. Liang, "You are such a good wife. She is well-rounded and much better than my wife."
Old ladies can’t help but complain about their daughters-in-law when they get together.
Old Mrs. Liang also secretly said, "She is so powerful. Even though she is so capable, she also has a very bad temper. When she usually trains the children, Brother Jin and I don't dare to express our anger. It shows that we I have no status at home. It’s not like you.”
“Sister, you must have a very high status at home, right? Unlike me, I’m sure no one’s mother-in-law is as powerful as me.”
In ancient families, the mother-in-law was generally the head of the family, and the daughter-in-law had to become a mother-in-law before she could gain status.
Otherwise, the mother-in-law basically has the final say on all matters at home.
But the Liang family has the Wu family, and the Wu family is so capable. Mrs. Liang is no match for her, so she naturally abdicates her throne obediently.
Mrs. Jing said to herself, I don’t have any status at home.
Jing is equally capable. She usually can only be a rice bug at home, eating, drinking and having fun. Like Mrs. Liang, she is also a hands-off shopkeeper.
The two old ladies looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
