Chapter 274, Close and Close
To marry, Daohua has always been very resistant.
Even though she has lived in ancient times for twelve years and has long been accustomed to and familiar with the rules of this era, some concepts are still unacceptable.
In ancient marriages, the words of a parent’s matchmaker are most important to the exchange of family and family interests. As for whether the man and woman have feelings, it is not considered at all.
Many people may not even meet each other when they get married.
At the thought of living with a complete stranger for most of her life, Daohua shuddered.
In this ancient time, people who spoiled their children a little bit, at most when talking about marriage, let the man and the woman meet or something. She wanted to pursue the harmony of the three views and the similar temperament, which is simply a daydream.
Furthermore, she has no dedication. It is impossible for her to discipline concubines and raise children for the so-called husband.
Not to mention, there is still a relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that cannot be avoided.
Can she lead a good married life?
The fifteen-year-old cousin Zi Xuan has already started talking about kissing. She is twelve this year. Doesn’t that mean that she will face this situation for three years?
In modern times, marriage is autonomous. People can choose to marry late, choose their marriage partner, or choose to live alone. But in ancient times, if she dare to say that she didn’t want to marry, even the old lady who spoiled her would jump out and strongly opposed it.
Daohua became irritable. She was a little confused and a little uneasy about her future life. She didn't want to compromise, but she didn't know where the exit was.
Aside, Mrs. Li was still talking in a whisper, suddenly glanced away, and found that her daughter was wandering, she suddenly felt helpless: "Are you listening to the mother?"
Ina Hua turned her head and nodded blankly.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li had a headache. She found that every time she mentioned marriage and marriage, her daughter looked like she was out of state, not at all like other little girls, either shyly avoiding problems, or Showing her longing for the future, her daughter was a little afraid to avoid it.
Hey, my daughter is still young, so let’s talk about it slowly in the future.
Daohua then asked: "Mother, is cousin Zi Xuan getting married next year?"
Mrs. Li smiled: "Not so fast. Your second uncle and second aunt are the ones who love your children. It may take a lot of time to look at it. After the appointment is made, there will be six ceremonies, at least one or two. You can only go out after a year."
Daohua's expression is a little loose: "Be sure to let the second uncle and the second aunt take a good look at each other, and don't choose the wrong person."
Ancient marriage, for a woman, it is really the second reincarnation. If the husband is good, the life will be smooth and beautiful. If the husband is not good, it is not an exaggeration to say that the water is hot.
Although it is possible to remarry in this era, the procedures are very cumbersome, and even if the final reconciliation is successful, the woman will have a bad reputation. Not only is it difficult to remarry, it will also affect the family.
Seeing her daughter's sad look, Mrs. Li was a little bit smirk: "Your second uncle is so smart, you still need your girl to worry about it?"
Daohua sighed. The second uncle is shrewd but shrewd, but how can you tell people such things accurately?
After being silent for a while, Daohua said again: "I have invited two cousins to play at home before, but neither the eldest aunt nor the second aunt agreed. This time they agreed to let the two cousins live in our house for a period of time because of cousin Zi Xuan. It's going to be a date, right?"
Mrs. Li nodded: "Your eldest uncle and second uncle are afraid of causing trouble to your mother. This time I also want your cousin Zi Xuan to be relaxed and relaxed before going out. After all, after marrying, you won't be so free. "
Daohua groaned for a moment: "Let me take my two cousins to the party, do you want the ladies to see each other?"
Mrs. Li shook her head: "Your second uncles are self-aware. They know that the official family looks down on businessmen and attends various gatherings. They just want your two cousins to see the world more often. Stage fright and making jokes."
Daohua nodded: "I know. However, I still won’t go to Zhu’s house. Zhu Xiuyun and I have nothing to say. Let the two cousins go out."
Mrs. Li didn’t say much. For them, the Zhu family now only needs to save face, and there is really no need to wrong their daughter.
Since Mrs. Li's order, Daohua has gone to various gatherings at the end of the year almost every time, taking her two cousins to and fro between the ladies.
No matter what you think in private, everyone is happy on the surface anyway.
Even if they occasionally encounter a few sour words, Li Zixuan and Li Zixin can see clearly. They know in their hearts that it is difficult for them to really have a good relationship with these officials and ladies.
Inahua did not interfere much with the Li sisters’ communication. After introducing people to them, they often let them move freely.
Whether it is being scorned or ridiculed by others, it’s not a bad thing to have more of these experiences.
Only with a strong heart, can you calmly deal with everything that happens in life.
When Zhou Jingwan saw Daohua sitting alone in the pavilion drinking tea, she walked in with a smile, and looked at the Li sisters who were joking with other ladies in the garden, and smiled: "You are cruel, and you are not afraid of your two cousins being bullied. ."
Daohua smiled faintly: "Your family is hosting a banquet. It is from a family of big families. These people value a reputation the most, and they are also strict in the upbringing of their children."
Speaking, looked at the girls in the garden.
"Even if those girls have any thoughts in their minds, they won't show up on the face. Knowing that the two cousins are relatives of my family, it won't be too embarrassing."
Zhou Jingwan suddenly laughed: "You have a clear idea, too, nowadays the family in Xingzhou City has to sell your father a bit of face."
Everyone knows that Master Yan will go to Beijing to report on his work at the beginning of the coming year. Who will not give the Yan family face at this time?
"By the way, my brother wrote back, saying that it was a holiday on the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month of the college this year. He also said that the laba congee you sent over was delicious, but the amount was less, which made Brother Su directly call you partial."
Daohua wondered: "Which way am I?"
Zhou Jingwan: "Of course you are partial to the little prince. My brother and the others got a bowl of laba porridge, and the little prince has a big cup, so they naturally can't pass it."
Daohua was speechless: "Why don't you just eat a little bit, you are so grown-up, and still fighting for things." He didn't take this matter to heart at all.
Zhou Jingwan felt the same way: “That’s right, our daughter usually fights for food and clothing. For men like this, it’s a bit petty.”
Daohua agrees with a face: "Isn't it? Brother Su, too, always likes to compare with Xiao Yeyang. My relationship with Xiao Yeyang is better than others. Give him more, what's the matter? No one is far away or near!"
Zhou Jingwan felt that this was too right. She also gave her brother something, and every time she would give other people a little bit, but she gave Yan Sange more than others.
There is no other reason. Yan Sange treats her better than others. Isn’t this all right?
