Chapter 144: Relief
Mulan talked to Mrs. An in the Buddha Hall for two quarters of an hour, and her face turned a little pale when she came out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info returned to Yu Tingge and didn't even eat dinner, leaning on the cool bed in a daze.
Ruixi wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, standing outside the cover door and glancing at each other. Seeing that it was over, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stay up at night if she didn't eat at this time, so she pushed Heshou to go, "The girl likes you, you go and persuade her." ”
Heshou nodded, turned around and came to the small kitchen, and ordered to boil a Chozi rouge rice porridge and make a few light and refreshing side dishes. She is a big girl in charge of the small kitchen, and the cook does not dare to slack off when she is instructed, so she immediately gets busy.
After making it and placing it on the small table, Heshou personally brought it to Mulan and persuaded softly: "Girl, you should eat two bites." ”
Mulan glanced at her when she came back to her senses, and saw that her eyes were concerned, and the other girls were also worried, knowing that if she didn't eat, she might not even be able to sleep these nights. So he gathered his thoughts, picked up the spoon and took a sip of porridge. The rouge rice is added with lilies and lotus seeds, boiled to bloom, fragrant in the mouth, and arouses a little appetite, so I eat most of the bowl with cold silver seedlings and sour bamboo shoots.
Walk around the house for a while to eliminate food, wait for Hongyu to send someone to bring the medicinal soup for bathing, soak it for half an hour, sweat profusely, and then wash it from head to toe with water.
When Danlu and Baofu took soft towels to help her dry her hair, Ruixi sent the two of them out, picked up a comb to help her hair, and saw that her face was not as dignified as before, so she boldly asked, "What's wrong with the girl?"
Mulan has lived on Shouzhen Island for more than ten years, and she can best understand that food is not easy to come by. Since entering the Guogong Mansion, no matter whether the mood is good or bad, he has never been temperamental during meals. Eat every meal sweetly and seriously, not picky eaters, and no leftovers.
It's an anomaly to think about tea and dinner like today, so it's no wonder that Ruixi and the others are panicking.
"Grandmother said she was going to give me a big deal. "Mulan doesn't hide it, Mrs. Chang has already released the news, I'm afraid that tomorrow, the entire capital will spread, and the people in the house will hear about it sooner or later.
Ruixi shook his hand in shock, and the comb hung on a lock of hair, tearing off a few of them. She hurriedly threw away the comb and knelt on the ground to plead guilty, "The slave maid is clumsy and hurts the girl, it's really damn ......"
Although Mulan was in a bad mood, she didn't get angry with the people who lowered her head because of this trivial matter, "Get up, it's so serious, it's just a few hairs, and it will grow out soon." ”
After saying that, he picked up the comb and slowly ran his hair through the mirror.
Rui Xi thanked him and stood up, called "girl" with a complicated expression, and stopped talking several times before he held back a sentence, "Girl, think about the good in everything, you will at least ...... in the future At least you don't have to serve your in-laws, and you don't have to look at your sister-in-law's face......"
Mulan bent the corners of her mouth slightly, "I know." ”
The pros and cons of recruiting redundancy, Mrs. An has already analyzed it for her. It's just that it all came so suddenly, she was a little caught off guard.
At the age of twelve, she was only a middle school student in the first and second years of junior high school in the world she originally lived in, but she was already a prospective bride here. When Mrs. An said that she would stay with her for two more years, she was very glad that she didn't have to fall into the trouble of marriage early like other little girls. Unexpectedly, the sudden change in the situation made it even more difficult for her to face than others.
She is not cynical, although she straddles two worlds, and there are inevitably some gaps in many places, but she has no choice but to adapt and accept.
She understands the truth of following the customs, that is, on Shouzhen Island, several chili women who have been persecuted by the marriage and customary system look at her with pity in their eyes, and the sighs in their mouths are also her life's events. From the moment she decided to leave Shouzhen Island, she didn't think about fighting for anything to subvert anything.
Probably because she has no ability and no ambition, she just wants to do what she can and live an ordinary and peaceful life like ordinary people in this era.
She did not resist marriage, and died young without even talking about love in her previous life, which is always a pity. In this life, if you can meet someone who is in love, start a family with her, have one or two beautiful and lively children, and continue your own bloodline, it will not be in vain to live again.
Since entering the Guogong Mansion and becoming the county lord, the ordinary life she originally envisioned was destined to be unsuccessful. As soon as the news of the recruitment spreads, at least until she gets married, the peace will be far away from her. And the husband who is in love with him has become a delusion.
In that era of self-proclaimed civilization and progress, people could not treat words such as "recruiting money" and "plugging the door upside down" indifferently, let alone in this patriarchal society?
The disadvantages of recruiting redundant ~ are naked in front of her, but she has no room for opposition.
Even if you oppose it, how can you oppose it? One crying, two troubles, and three hangings? Mrs. An doesn't say whether she eats or not, she can't do this kind of shrewd behavior by herself. Fleeing? She is a county lord with a seal, where can she flee to? It will only cause others to die in vain and suffer crimes.
If she can't escape, she can only continue to be her daughter of the National Government, and she is still in the election.
Mrs. An said very clearly, if you don't recruit money, you can only enter the palace. If you are selected, if you are lucky, you can still mix in the main room, and if you are unlucky, you will be a concubine. Which one of the royal families does not have three wives and four concubines? Whether they are wives or concubines, they will inevitably share a husband with many women. If you don't fight, you won't be able to get ahead in your life, and if you fight, you will inevitably cheat.
With her temperament, she is definitely unwilling to fight. But if you don't want to stand out, others may not be able to tolerate you. In the end, they either died in a nest, or they were forced to join the ranks of competing for favor, so that those conspiracies and calculations were exhausted to death.
Compared with the two, it is wiser to recruit redundantly. At least she can be the master of the house, and her future husband will not dare to take a concubine to raise a child. And Mrs. An promised her that unless she chose someone who suited her heart, she would never make the decision and force her to get married.
Mrs. An is nominally her grandmother and has absolute control over her marriage. Even if she pulls someone to marry her, she has no way, right? It is rare to be able to make such a promise, and she can no longer get an inch.
Besides, it's not up to her to decide whether it fits her mind or not?
She is not a person who likes to be entangled, and she is relieved when she figures it out. However, a few girls listened to Ruixi talk about the recruitment, tossing and turning all night, worrying and sleepless. When I woke up on the second day, I had two dark circles under my eyes and looked listless.
Mulan was the one who had the most trouble sleeping, and she couldn't think of anything to explain them, so she ran into the garden as usual.
When he came back from morning exercise, he didn't even have time to wipe his face, so Zhao Chonghua broke into the door in a rage and grabbed her, "Mulan, what's going on, how did I hear that you are going to recruit you?"
