Chapter Twenty-Eight: Wanting to Reconcile
Hearing her daughter's resolute words, Mother Wen slowly sat up straight, and then looked at Heng Zhi, her serious expression, her heart trembled slightly, and she asked a little excitedly.
"My silly daughter, what are you going to do, you are now married to him and become his wife, even if the relationship is good, it is much better than taking the letter of resignation and going home as an abandoned woman.
You listen to your mother's advice, don't have this thought, since I got married to your father, I have also wanted to divorce countless times, but this world is very strict for women, after you and divorce, there is no child as a companion, how should you live in the future?
The son-in-law did a very wrong thing, he is very good in the eyes of outsiders, but I will remind you that your father must teach him a good lesson and let him divorce that woman.
If that woman doesn't destroy your relationship, the two of you are a serious young couple after all, and if you go on like this, time will erase everything, and he will eventually find your good. β
Heng Zhi understood that perhaps what Mother Wen said was the fate of most ancient women.
After getting married, he didn't ask for Qin Se and Ming, but he asked for respect for each other, so he took care of the man's three wives and four concubines peacefully, and he was aggrieved until he was old.
This was a very unfair time for women.
But Heng Zhi is different, she has the soul of a modern person, she yearns for freedom and equality, and the most important thing is that the system task is to say not to take the emotional line, but to take the career line!
Maybe after reconciling with Gu Ziche, a big pig's trotter, his career development is getting smoother and smoother, and he can still become a huge rich man in this era?
The greater the ability, the stronger the responsibility, and the better the life you enjoy.
Then the capable people will not be bound by the constraints of this era!
But this outdated concept doesn't make sense for a while, so it's better to make some results, so that this lady can rest assured that her true daughter will have a happy life in the future.
After he has successfully made certain achievements in this career, he will cultivate various contacts and eyeliner to supervise Gu Ziche, some of his actions in the officialdom, appropriately let Gu Ziche go through a few pits and offend a few nobles, then his future career will definitely be greatly affected.
There won't be such a thing as going to a high position later and then taking revenge on the whole family of the Ministry of Rites, right?
After Heng Zhi thought of this, her heart was also a lot easier, and she had no way to explain a lot to Mother Wen for a while, so she just lowered her head aggrievedly and looked silent, which made Mother Wen a little anxious and distressed.
"My daughter, don't be impulsive, you are already married, if you want to divorce, your father will not agree.
After all, your father is an important official of the imperial court and the head of the six departments, and he has always valued his own reputation and honor the most.
So he won't be easy, he will allow his concubine to be divorced at home like this, my stupid daughter, if you are really divorced at home, you will definitely be sent to those nunnery, the green lantern ancient Buddha for a lifetime, and at that time the mother may not be able to protect you,"
After hearing this, Heng Zhi thought about it clearly, maybe it was true, after all, he, as a father, really paid more attention to his reputation!
However, Heng Zhi is not unprepared, sometimes the most important thing than the name is the fate of the entire family.
"Mother, you're right, I've thought about all of this, but I'm not comfortable at all in that house, and I don't have any hope, which makes me very sad, that's why I have this thought.
I went out a few days ago to deal with my dowry shop, and slowly discovered my own business, so that I could take care of my things in an orderly manner.
The most important thing is that I will also be very cheerful, so I decided to adjust my mentality first, take care of the dowry shop, and make more money.
So I came up with a few ways to make money, and when I came back this time, I also hoped that my mother would help me find a few loyal stewards. β
After hearing this, Wen's mother let go of her heart, as long as her daughter wants to go to the river without thinking, and then her heart is like ashes and she has no thoughts of living, it is better than anything!
"Alas, my daughter, I know that you are bitter in your heart, but this is how this life goes, I was also full of expectations to marry your father, but in the end she still accepted a lot of concubines one after another.
But it's different, I'll always be his normal wife, those little sluts can't hold me down, and the children they give birth to have to call me mother, so you have to look away, don't get into the horns, and don't hurt yourself. β
"Mother...... , I'm just unwilling, do women always have to wronged themselves like this, and they have to be aggrieved until they are old, and they can't live happily in this world?"
Heng Zhi still refuted, and then instilled some contemporary women's ideas, that is, she wanted to write a silent word, so that the old lady could finally support a certain decision to make in the future.
"Alas, I'm telling you this now, you definitely don't agree with my daughter, you will one day pass my age, with your own children, you will definitely slowly adapt, the rules of this world are so restrictive to women after all, we can't change anything, but at least let yourself live a little more comfortable.
Although we are a scholarly family, we have taught you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, and your talent in business is really like you and me!
Do some money-making business, put the silver in your hands, don't give it to anyone, just spend it for yourself, then even if you don't have children in the future, you will have a guarantee that you can live well in old age!"
After hearing Heng Zhi's words, this Mrs. Wen didn't have too much fierce opposition, but just smiled lightly, as if the other party was particularly naΓ―ve and cute.
Then he praised Heng Zhi, talking about the business he had done when he was young and some of the money he had earned, and finally talked to Heng Zhi about how important this silver is to women?
"My daughter, do you know why I have only one child left with you in my life, but in this Shangshu Mansion, there is still no one who can surpass me?
Even if I am old, your father has so many very fresh and beautiful concubines, and they can cause me a lot of trouble when they blow the pillow wind.
But your father still respects me very much, and always asks me for advice whenever something big happens?"
After Heng Zhi heard this, she was very puzzled, but her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she found that this Mrs. Wen was a very transparent person!
