There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 274

[Chapter 274, close and distant]

Dao Hua has always been conflicted about marrying someone.

Even though she has lived in ancient times for twelve years and is already used to and familiar with the rules of this era, some concepts are still unacceptable.

Marriage in ancient times paid attention to the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, and the most important thing was the exchange of family interests and family interests. As for whether the man and woman had feelings for each other, it was not considered at all.

When many people get married, they may not even meet each other.

At the thought of spending most of her life with a complete stranger, Daohua couldn’t help but shudder.

In this ancient time, a family who dotes on their children a little bit, at most, let the man and woman meet each other when talking about kissing. What she wants to pursue is a harmony of three views and similar temperaments, which is simply a daydream.

Moreover, she doesn’t have much dedication. For the so-called husband, it is impossible for her to discipline the concubine’s room and raise the concubine’s children.

Not to mention, there is also the inescapable relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

With such a woman, can she live a good married life?

Fifteen-year-old cousin Zixuan has already started talking about kissing. She is twelve years old this year. Does that mean that she will face this situation in three years?

In modern times, marriage is independent. People can choose to marry late, choose who to marry, or choose to live alone, but in ancient times, if she dared to say that she didn’t want to marry, even the old lady Yan who loved her the most would jump out and strongly oppose it.

Daohua became irritable in her heart. She was at a loss and uneasy about her future life. She didn’t want to compromise, but she didn’t know where the exit was.

On the side, Mrs. Li was still chattering, when she glanced suddenly and found that her daughter was distracted, she felt helpless: “Are you listening to what my mother said?” Daohua

turned her head and nodded in a daze.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li had a headache. She found that every time such matters as marriage were mentioned, her daughter seemed to be dissociated from her state. She was not at all like other little girls who either shyly avoided questions, or Showing her longing for the future, her daughter seemed a little afraid to avoid it.

Hey, my daughter is still young, let’s talk about it slowly in the future.

Daohua asked at this time: “Mother, is Cousin Zixuan going to get married next year?”

Mrs. Li smiled and said, “Not so soon, your second uncle and aunt are the ones who love children. It will take a long time, and after you settle down with someone, you have to go through six rituals, at least one or two years before you can go out.”

Dao Hua looked a little relaxed: “You must let the second uncle and the second aunt take good care of each other. Don’t make the wrong choice.”

Marriage in the ancients is really a second reincarnation for a woman. If the husband is good, 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 reconcile in this era, the procedures are very cumbersome, and even if the reconciliation succeeds in the end, the woman will bear a bad reputation, not only it is not easy to remarry, but it will also affect the family.

Seeing her daughter’s worried face, Mrs. Li laughed a little: “Your second uncle is so shrewd, why do you need to worry about it?”

Daohua sighed, second uncle is shrewd, but seeing people is such a thing How can you tell?

After being silent for a while, Daohua said again: “I have invited two cousins to play at home before, but the first aunt and the second aunt did not agree. This time I agreed to let the two cousins stay at our house for a period of time because of cousin Zixuan. We’re getting engaged, right?”

Mrs. Li nodded, “Your uncle and second uncle are afraid of causing trouble to mother, and this time I want your cousin Zixuan to relax before going out, after all, marriage After that, I won’t be so free.”

Daohua pondered for a while: “Is it because I want to bring my two cousins to the party so that the wives of each family can see each other?”

Mrs. Li shook her head: “Your second uncle and the others still have self-knowledge. They know that officials and aristocratic families look down on businessmen, and they attend various gatherings just to let your two cousins see the world more. In the future, they will not meet the officials’ wives. Stage fright and making jokes.”

Daohua nodded: “I know. However, I still won’t go to Zhu’s house. Zhu Xiuyun and I really have nothing to talk about. Anyway, it’s almost the end of the year, and there are many parties in each family. At that time, I will take my two cousins out.”

Madam Li didn’t say much, for them, the Zhu family only needs to look good, and there is really no need to wrong their daughter.

Since she received Mrs. Li’s order, Daohua went to the gatherings of each family at the end of the year almost every time, and took her two cousins to shuttle between the young ladies of each family.

No matter what you think in private, everyone is happy on the surface anyway.

Li Zixuan and Li Zixin would take it easy even if they occasionally encountered a few harsh words. They knew in their hearts that it would be difficult for them to really make good friends with these ladies from official families and aristocratic families.

Daohua didn’t interfere with the Li family sisters’ communication. After introducing people to them, she often let them move freely.

Whether it’s being looked down upon by others, or ridiculed by others, it’s not a bad thing to have too many of these experiences.

Only with a strong heart can we calmly deal with everything that happens in life.

Zhou Jingwan saw Daohua sitting alone in the pavilion drinking tea, she walked in with a smile, looked at the Li family sisters who were joking with other ladies in the garden, and said with a smile: “You are cruel, and you are not afraid that your two cousins will be bullied. Daohua smiled lightly: ”

Your family holds a banquet, and the guests are from aristocratic families. These families value a reputation the most, and presumably they are strict in raising their children.”

He said, looking at the girls in the garden.

“Even if those girls have some thoughts in their hearts, they won’t show it on their faces. They know that the two cousins are relatives of my family, so they won’t be too embarrassed.”

Zhou Jingwan laughed immediately: “You think clearly, yes, now the aristocratic families in Xingzhou City have to betray your father’s face.”

We all know that Mrs. Chu Yan will go to Beijing to report on his work next year, who will be here ? How about not giving the Yan family face?

“By the way, my brother wrote a letter back, saying that this year the academy has a holiday on the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month. He also said that the Laba porridge you sent over was delicious, but the quantity was a bit small, which made Brother Su call you partial.”

Dao Hua wondered, “What’s wrong with me?”

Zhou Jingwan said, “Of course you’re partial to the little prince. My brother and the others got a bowl of Laba porridge, and the little prince had a big cup, so they couldn’t see it.”

Daohua was speechless: “Don’t you just eat a little bit, you are so grown up, and you still fight for things.” He didn’t take this matter to heart at all in his words.

Zhou Jingwan also felt the same way: “It’s true, our daughter’s family usually fights for food and clothing, but a man like this is a bit petty.” Daohua agreed with a

face: “Isn’t it, Brother Su is also, always I like to compare with Xiao Yeyang, my relationship with Xiao Yeyang is better than others, so give him something more, what’s the matter? Who can be without a close relationship!”

Zhou Jingwan felt that this was too true, she He also gave things to her brother, and every time he gave a little to other people, but he gave more to Brother Yan than others.

There is no other reason, Brother Yan treats her better than others, isn’t that what it should be?
