Chapter 164: Talking about Marriage (II)
"What is early, you were married last year, other people's girls like you are preparing to marry, marry earlier, this will be even more ......" Lin glared at her, a little angry said, she really wanted to say that people married earlier, this will be a mother, but thinking about her own daughter has not yet married, this sentence finally retracted in time.

When the law of the dynasty is not so strict on women, the time of marriage is relatively loose compared to the court, in the past, in the countryside, there are not a few cases of marrying at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and now girls, even in the countryside, most of them will marry after the age of fifteen, Lin has been carefully taught by Lin Xiucai since childhood, and her thinking is more open-minded than ordinary people, she herself married very late, and her own daughter remarried after she turned eighteen, she did not feel anything bad.
The problem is that she is a little worried about Jiang Jingxuan's son-in-law, Jiang Jingxuan has no father and no mother, he came to his own house at the age of eight, regards himself as his mother, and treats several children in the family as his own brother, and he is eighteen this year, a child like him, according to common sense, should have opened up branches and leaves for the Jiang family as soon as possible, and the Lin family is worried that if he has not mentioned this topic, he will have a pimple in his heart.
"Mother, it's not good for a girl to marry too early, wait until I'm twenty years old to discuss this issue, okay?" The corners of Xiao Nan's mouth twitched a few times when he heard this, but he remembered that his mother was an ancient, and early marriage and early childbearing were traditional concepts deeply rooted in the minds of the ancients, so he was not angry, but only held Lin's arm and persuaded him half-coquettishly.
"Then how can it be, it's too late to marry after twenty, you have become a girl, what girl marries too early is not good for health, the marriage time of the girl in this dynasty has been postponed a little, and the law of the previous dynasty is that a woman can marry when she is thirteen." Lin Shi listened to his eyebrows, if Xiao Nan said that she would marry after eighteen, she would be able to accept it, but now that she heard that she would not talk about marrying until she reached twenty, she immediately refuted it.
As soon as she said this, Xiao Nan's brows unconsciously twisted, to say a word of conscience, she was extremely disgusted with the superiors of the ancient patriarchal society, in order to consolidate the position of male power and her own selfish desires, she hollowed out the laws and remarks that persecuted the majority of women, what follows her father at home, her husband when she marries, her husband dies with her son, what three wives and four concubines, what woman can marry when she comes to Kwai Shui, if she doesn't understand very well, she can't resist the ideas and trends of the entire era with her own strength, she can't stand up to it, A new dynasty for the emancipation of women's minds came out.
"Auntie, you, what's wrong with you?" Lin Shi looked at her involuntarily wrinkled brows, as well as the sudden anger emanating from her body, she couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously thought in her heart, could it be that her daughter didn't want to marry Jing Xuan at all, so she had such a big reaction when she heard that she mentioned their marriage.
"It's nothing, mother, since my mother mentioned this issue today, I'll talk about my thoughts on this issue, let's not talk about whether women should marry early, as far as the situation of our two families is concerned, I am not suitable for early marriage, first, our family Zixiu and Xiao Zhen are still young, if I get married, who will support the beams in the family?" Xiao Nan took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and turned his eyes to the Lin clan and said.
"I ......" Jiang Jingxuan subconsciously wanted to say that I don't mind getting involved.
"Senior brother, don't open your mouth for the time being, I know your feelings for our family, but you are a descendant of the Jiang family, your uncle is gone, he must be very eager in his heart, one day you can support the lintel of his line, if you really come to our family, you are repaying our family's kindness, but how can you let me explain to my uncle in the future?" It's just that as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan quietly watched him speak, the ancients attached great importance to the inheritance of incense, if Jiang Jingxuan entered the Xiao family, it means that the incense of his vein will stop at him, as far as the concept of the ancients is concerned, it is considered a great unfilial piety.
"Mother, even if the senior brother is willing to join our family, Uncle Jiang knows and can understand reasonably, but can we accept it with peace of mind? Senior brother Wen Tao Wuluo, everything is extraordinary, just because I don't like the disputes in the officialdom, he took a leave of absence and entered the dart game after the examination Xiucai and Wuju, such a uncomplaining and unrepentant dedication and kindness, we don't need to receive? After Xiao Nan finished speaking to Jiang Jingxuan, the conversation changed and turned the meaning to Lin.
"I, I never thought about letting Jing Xuan join our family, I, I just ......" Lin was stunned when she heard this, and a trace of shame appeared on her face, she really hadn't thought about such a problem before, she only felt that Jing Xuan's child had lived at home for so many years, and there was nothing wrong with Xiao Nan after getting married, but she forgot that if this was the case, Jiang Jingxuan went out, I was afraid that I would have to face a lot of abnormal eyes, no matter how enlightened this era is, the son-in-law who has entered the family will always be inferior in the hearts of many people.
"I believe that my mother didn't mean this, so, my mother, my marriage with Jing Xuan is not suitable to be put on the agenda so early, when I turn twenty, Zi Xiu will almost be able to pick up the burden of the family, and Jing Xuan will probably earn enough money to build a house, buy land, and marry a daughter-in-law, right, senior brother?" Xiao Nan smiled slightly, reached out and patted Lin's hand gently, then turned to look at Jiang Jingxuan and said.
"Master, my sister is reasonable, it doesn't matter if the two of us get married late, my wife and sister are so affectionate to me, I can't let my sister marry me and suffer, I will work hard to earn money in the past few years, and strive to build the best house in Jiangjia Village when my sister is twenty years old, buy thousands of acres of fertile land, and after my sister marries me, I can live the life she wants without worry." Jiang Jingxuan's eyes were slightly red, he raised his head and looked at the Lin family with a serious expression.
"You guys, you are all good boys, since you have decided like this, I won't say anything more, as for the direction of money, just live a good life, and don't be too persistent." Lin's eyes were also red, she reached out and patted Xiao Nan, patted Jiang Jingxuan again, and walked out, the filial piety and sensibility of her daughter's son-in-law made her want to cry.
"Senior brother, don't you blame me?" After the Lin family left, Xiao Nan raised his eyes to look at Jiang Jingxuan.
"What are you blaming for? Your words are reasonable, and your starting point is to help me plan, am I the kind of person who doesn't know what to do? Jiang Jingxuan took two steps closer to Xiao Nan, held one of her hands, and looked at her with a gentle expression.
"The best house in Jiangjia Village, plus thousands of acres of fertile land, is not so easy to buy, are you really sure to buy it before I am twenty years old?" Xiao Nan smiled and no longer dwelled on these words, but squinted his eyes and quipped.
"Of course, in order to marry the eldest lady in a beautiful way, not to mention a thousand acres of fertile land, I can also put it on ten thousand acres, I want the entire Qingfu Town to know that the vision of the eldest lady of the Xiao family, no matter what aspect it is, will always be the best." Jiang Jingxuan clenched her hand, and smiled affectionately with three points of ridicule and seven points of affection. (To be continued.) )
