052, Zuo Zewen persuades his mother (2)

Mrs. Zuo was unwilling to admit that what her son said was the truth, so she gritted her teeth and insisted: "I haven't proposed marriage to those families, how do you know that people don't want to?

Zuo Zewen smiled bitterly, it seems that his mother will not hit the south wall and will not look back. He had to learn from his father www.biquge.info he hit the heart: "Mother, you have always been a good wife and mother, but do you think you are really qualified to be a lady of a first-class master?"

Mrs. Zuo's face changed, and she looked at her son in disbelief, dripping blood in her heart.

Zuo Zewen smiled sadly: "I know your embarrassment, mother, and I also understand your hardship. From a young age, the women of the family learned how to be a housewife in the backyard and the etiquette that a noble lady should have. If I marry a noble daughter from a famous family as a daughter-in-law, will you be able to be a comfortable mother-in-law at that time?"

These words made Mrs. Zuo's back cold, she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, pursed her lips and did not speak. As Zuo Sihan rose step by step, she also rose with the tide. The first time she was entitled, she was ready to enter the palace to thank her, and Zuo Sihan invited the grandmother in the palace three days in advance to teach her the etiquette of entering the palace. What Mama said broke her previous cognition, she always thought that the so-called noble daughter of a famous family was just more noble than her, she never knew how many rules there were, how far to walk, how many degrees of laughter to show the corners of the mouth, how much to squat, how much to take a cup of tea...... The other ladies are all very proficient, and their movements are extremely smooth and standardized, which is pleasing to the eye. And she practiced hard for three days and made a little joke. Only then did she know that the connotation of a noble girl in a family was not practiced in a day or two, and it was also on that day that she vowed to marry her son a noble girl of a noble family so that she could share her worries.

But she never thought that a daughter-in-law with good manners would laugh at her mother-in-law, who was a little childish. Just like when she first married into the Zuo family. At that time, my mother-in-law was still there. On the fourth day of the wedding, her mother-in-law handed over the power of the family to her, and she was grateful to her mother-in-law. But there are also some mothers-in-law who can't read a big word and are born as peasant women. Maybe her mother-in-law noticed her careful thoughts, never let her go to the front to set rules, and never went out to be a guest, except for a monthly greeting, almost never met. If she marries a daughter-in-law of a family, and also looks down on her and laughs at her in her heart, then what should she do, like her mother-in-law?

Seeing that his mother seemed to be listening, Zuo Zewen said again: "When the time comes, you have to hand over the power of the housekeeper." ”

Mrs. Zuo looked at her son hatefully, but she knew that what her son said was the truth, she had been a noblewoman for more than ten years, and every time she held a banquet, she had to take half her life.

To this day, she doesn't know how so many ladies in Kyoto arrange their positions, who are their relatives, who are their elders, who are friendly with whom, and who can be arranged at the same table, who is at odds with whom, who is scheming with whom, and who wants to be separated, who likes to eat and who taboos...... She didn't know at all.

She also didn't know what dishes to prepare, what kind of dishes to use, what kind of tables and chairs to use, and what kind of cups to use...... She couldn't remember the difference between a white porcelain cup and a celadon cup, and what kind of occasion they were to be used.

There is also manpower, who welcomes guests, who takes care of tea, and who takes care of guests' girls...... She doesn't have any mother-in-law who is proficient in these things. If Zuo Sihan hadn't invited an old aunt to the mansion for her, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold any banquets.

After marrying a noble daughter of a family as a daughter-in-law, and then she asks her old aunt to help, will the daughter-in-law be respectful on the surface, but look down on her in her heart? But let her do it herself, she won't, and in the end, she really has to hand over the power of the family to her daughter-in-law as her son said. I'm afraid that she will hand over the power of the family, and she won't be able to say a good word, and outsiders will not say that she is generous, but will only say that it should be so.

"However, the fifth girl can't be a good wife and mother at all!" Mrs. Zuo didn't forget that the fifth girl was even worse than her.

Zuo Zewen saw that his mother was moved, and knew that she had listened, so he continued: "You don't have to worry about this. Our Zuo family needs a powerful housemother, our Zuo family has a simple population, my father has no brothers, and I have no brothers. There are two aunts from the palace around the fifth girl, which is enough to take care of our Zuofu properly. And no matter how powerful your aunt is, she is also a subordinate, and she will not listen to you in the end. The fifth girl is very simple and simple, and the girl who can be so satisfied with a snack will not ask me too much in the future, and I don't need to rack my brains to deal with it, let alone interfere with any of my decisions. She was passed to the fourth room again, and General Su and Su Junshi are her strong backing, and they will not be a burden to me. Anyway, I want to marry a wife, I think the fifth girl is very good, and she has met my requirements everywhere. Think about it, if she is really bad, then why would King Rui grant her the position of princess? Could it be that it is also to repay the life-saving grace of the past?"

Seeing that Zuo Zewen seemed to be iron-hearted, Mrs. Zuo had to throw out a killer move: "Do you know the criteria for those five girls to choose a son-in-law?"

This Zuo Zewen had already asked Zuo Xiang in the carriage, "I know, that's just the standard that General Su was going to choose a son-in-law for her." ”

Mrs. Zuo's eyes lit up: "Then what conditions will the Su family no longer mention?"

Zuo Zewen coughed twice, hesitated for a moment, and said honestly: "Father promised General Su for me that he would not accept concubines." Seeing that Mrs. Zuo's face darkened, Zuo Zewen said again: "This is to assure the Su family of the status of the eldest son." Besides, the father didn't take a concubine, and the son was not a woman. ”

Mrs. Zuo felt a little more comfortable now, but she was not willing to admit defeat like this: "I still think you should marry a girl from a famous family, as long as you are willing, I am extremely willing to hand over the power of the housekeeper." ”

Seeing that his mother's heart that had just loosened went around again, Zuo Zewen said helplessly: "Mother, don't forget that we are not the only ones who are courting the Su family now. I have taken a fancy to the fifth girl, but the Su family may not be able to take a fancy to me. In terms of family status, I am not as good as Cao Mo, the son of the world, and in terms of appearance, I am not as good as Cao Mo, the son of the world, and I am not as good as Cao Mo. ”

Mrs. Zuo stood up angrily: "No matter how good the Ruiwang Mansion is, can the prince not accept concubines for the rest of his life? Even if King Rui dares to guarantee for the prince, will he dare not accept the reward from the palace? As for Cao Mo, he is better than you, but with the three princesses staring, this matter with the Su family cannot be done. After the counting, Mrs. Zuo added unwillingly: "I am such an excellent son, so I don't want such a stupid daughter-in-law." ”

"A stupid daughter-in-law is better than a stupid daughter-in-law. ”

"But I don't want it, if you really want to marry, it's a big deal that I won't see her when I marry back. Mrs. Zuo said excitedly. That fool hasn't entered the door yet, Zuo Zewen is so biased, if she really marries back, what position will her mother have to retreat to.

Zuo Zewen smiled bitterly, he finally understood what his father said was difficult. There are many ways to force the mother to agree to this marriage, but it is too difficult for the mother to accept it sincerely and pamper the five girls as her own daughter.

Zuo Zewen smiled bitterly, "I understand, why people often say that it is better to find a good husband than to find a good mother-in-law." "Everything has to be considered in the long run, but fortunately, the Su family is not allowed to kiss now, he has time.
