Chapter 12 Can You Be in Time?

I didn't feel that way when I set off to go to Zongmiao, but when I came back, Qin Xin always felt that time passed a little fast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

On the way back by carriage, in order to get to know each other quickly, and to talk to Meng Zheng, Qin Xin proposed that the two of them each ask each other a question.

Qin Xin asked first, then Meng Zheng answered, then Meng Zheng asked, and then Qin Xin answered, and so on.

However, Qin Xin remembered that he seemed to have only asked the third question, and then, the two of them returned to the door of the Zheng family again. And now that he has returned to the Zheng family......

When he got out of the carriage, Qin Xin was also a gentleman, and when Meng Zheng got out of the carriage, he made a special posture of holding my hand and helping you down, although the other party was also shy, but in the end he was still willing to put his hand in Qin Xin's palm. "If only those women in the future were so good to win." Then Qin Xin couldn't help but think like that.

Including the time of worshipping and getting married, it was only less than a quarter of an hour, and the relationship between Qin Xin and Meng Zheng at this time was still like the discord between Zheng He and his wife and concubine before entering the temple before.

On the contrary, it is more like the harmony of the piano, the harmony of the phoenix and the song.

And the maidservants who came back with Qin Xin and Meng Zheng, seeing the two of them like this, were also envious, and at the same time squeezed their eyebrows with their own Meng Zheng. After all, they Meng Zheng really put his hand on his uncle's hand just now, so it is also appropriate to squeeze his eyebrows and make eyes.

And Meng Zheng blushed, and in a place where Qin Xin couldn't notice, he blamed her servants who didn't know how to be respectful.

These handmaidens are all very young, it is estimated that they are just seventeen or eighteen years old, if they are not servants in the Zheng family, there are many of them, and they should all be allowed to marry, for their own Meng Zheng's hatred, these handmaidens do not seem to be afraid, but they feel more unscrupulous and laugh more rampantly.

Zheng Qing returned to the Zheng family faster than Qin Xin, a couple of newcomers, and after coming back, Zheng Qing asked people to prepare the dishes. Although I won't have a big feast, to be honest, everyone has been busy all day today, and we haven't eaten dinner yet, and our stomachs are still hungry, so we can't stop eating today.

Zheng Qing came to the door and said to the two: "The head of the family has already ordered, don't wait for them." The dishes were all delivered to Meng Zheng and his aunt's house. ”

"Got it, Uncle Xie Qing."

It can only be said that people who have read books speak differently, probably this is the so-called knowledge of books. But when Meng Zheng took the initiative to reply to Zheng Qing's words...... If it weren't for Zheng Qing asking Meng Zheng, and Meng Zheng also said it first, Qin Xin almost thought that he was really not in a relationship, but married a wife. Although Meng Zheng's temperament feels like a more shy and gentle type, those handmaids don't seem to want to look down on Qin Xin, but in fact, no matter what, if you want to be the master of the house in the future, Qin Xin really doesn't seem to be qualified in the current Zheng family.

"It still seems too inflated. Didn't put yourself in a good position. Soon, Qin Xin wiped this thought away again. Because...... What if who's in charge? He's a gentleman, let a woman, what. Qin thought so, but when he returned to the room, he couldn't help but think of certain pictures. Maybe every man must be more or less machismo, if in the future, everyone in the Zheng family is like this, only looking at Meng Zheng's eyes, and not paying attention to his eyes at all, then what will he become? Yes! Even if you don't care about it anymore, in the end, you will definitely have a feeling of depression and not being taken seriously by others.

Thinking of this, Qin Xin felt in his heart. After entering the family, his life does not seem to be as happy as he imagined. Even if Meng Zheng is really beautiful. But can you imagine that other people might just think of you as a vase? In important matters, Meng Zheng is their decision-maker, and Meng Zheng's words are crucial. This is even more demanding, Qin Xin must do something, otherwise......

Qin thought to himself, he finally understood the situation of his son-in-law in ancient times.

It doesn't have to be the kind of people who look down on you or even speak provocatively to be underestimated by society to hit people, but as a man, in terms of mood, can you be willing to endure that you will only be a 'foil for women' in the future?

Maybe it was because Meng Zheng had the impression that Qin Xin was too shy and gentle, or maybe Qin Xin was too naΓ―ve before, but the little thing just now invisibly woke up Qin Xin. Becoming a son-in-law and having a beautiful wife sounds perfect, but in fact, what is really cruel is the destruction of the state of mind of the person who has become a son-in-law.

No wonder there were often sayings in ancient times, 'Since you choose to be a son-in-law, it means that you don't have much hope for yourself', and 'If you are not forced to do so, no one will want to be a son-in-law.' ','Generally speaking, those who become sons-in-law are those who have many people in the family and can't afford to raise them, so they go to be sons-in-law, and this kind of son-in-law is no different from other people's domestic slaves. ’

……

Because he was entangled in this matter, even in the face of a table of dishes, Qin Xin didn't seem to care about moving chopsticks.

After a period of shyness, Meng Zheng also noticed the strangeness of Qin Xin's frowning, but she definitely couldn't understand Qin Xin's mood at this time. Maybe in her eyes, Zheng Qing asked her without asking Qin Xin, it was just a very normal and ordinary thing.

But this small detail, in Qin Xin's opinion, is a bit important. Therefore, Qin Xin also said that it must be his own mentality that is not set up.

Yes! Now that you have been determined and have been married, then your 'son-in-law' should have the mentality that a 'son-in-law' should have in this era. It's not right that it's starting to make trouble now. It's like wanting both bear's paws and fish, but often you can't have both.

You're already losing hope in yourself. It's not the same as if you were being raised by a very beautiful young lady, and being raised by a young lady can't be hated by many people. Why do you have to get rid of this role of 'foil for women'? ’

Qin Xin began to use these reasons to convince himself, because probably only in this way would his heart become more comfortable, and he would also feel more at ease.

Meng Zheng was also a little puzzled when he saw where Qin Xin had been stunned since he entered the marriage room. Obviously, it seemed to be fine just now, but suddenly, Qin Xin frowned. Don't like the food? Or is it something else? She is innocent and kind, but she can't understand her husband's thoughts now. Since he has already visited the church, he is naturally already his husband. She thought sweetly.

Actually, let's be honest. Meng Zheng was very satisfied with Qin Xin. Qin Xin, I don't know the words yet, people are very good-looking, don't say it, the key is hobbies and reading. But I'm afraid what Meng Zheng doesn't know is that when Qin Xin said that he likes to read, Qin Xin covered his conscience and said that the reading he said was not the kind of book that studies academics and learning, but pretended to be a novel.

But Meng Zheng heard that Qin Xin also liked to read, but felt very resonant, after that, the two talked about what books they liked to read, Meng Zheng said that he liked to read customs and stories from all over the Zhou Dynasty, such as "Nine Hills", as well as poetry books, of course, from time to time also studied other classical books, unexpectedly, Qin Xin also likes to read local customs, stories and the like, also read poetry books, and from time to time also study classical books. After going back and forth like this, I understood that Qin Xin was not only good-looking, but also had the same hobbies as her, so I gradually identified with Qin Xin.

In this era, it is very important to pay attention to "the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", since it is the life of the parents, then Meng Zheng can only admit it, and now he finds that Qin Xin is so good, and the recognition is even more simple.

Perhaps, "the order of parents and the words of matchmakers" are somewhat authoritarian, rigid and inhumane for future generations, but in this era, it has its necessary significance. The current Zhou Dynasty, really counted, is not far from ancient times, the number of human population, at most is several million, if you want to get some leftover men and women to come out, and pick and choose, then the human population will definitely never be able to rise, productivity can not be improved, and everyone's quality of life can not be improved.

So in the Zhou Dynasty, there were also official media, stipulating that men must marry or marry before they are thirty years old and women are twenty years old.

In addition, in this era, when women are seven or eight years old, they know men and women, and when they are ten years old, they are no longer allowed to go out, and if they want to go out, they must also cover their faces. So at the age of ten, Meng Zheng couldn't go out, as you can imagine, Meng Zheng didn't know anything about the outside world, and originally Zhongchun February was a day for handsome men and beautiful women to travel together, also known as 'blind date month', this month, even elopement is legal, but it is restricted by the Zheng family's family training that women are not allowed to show up. Then, when he reached the age, he married a man he didn't know under the arrangement of his parents.

If it's a good-looking and talented husband who can talk about it, then it's good, but what if it's not good-looking and can't talk about it?

It wasn't until he really saw Qin Xin that Meng Zheng's heart was relaxed, because Qin Xin was really good-looking, not only tall and elegant, but also personable, and then after chatting with Qin Xin, Meng Zheng also found that they could talk. As for talent...... Her father also said that Qin Xin is still talented.

In fact, today, it is not only the day of Qin Xin's marriage, but also the day of Meng Zheng's marriage, however, when Meng Zheng felt that he was still happy and had nothing to be disappointed, Qin Xin put on a frowning look.

"What's the matter? Why don't you move chopsticks? Meng Zheng asked a little worriedly when he saw it.

And when Qin Xin heard Meng Zheng ask this, he quickly sobered up, smiled bitterly, and said, "Those who know me say that I am worried; Those who don't know me say that I am worried. Never mind! Don't want these unhappy things. In fact...... It's not a big deal. Obviously, you can stretch out your hands with clothes and open your mouth with food, why do you want to feel uncomfortable with yourself. Chopsticks and eat! ”

"Eat it."

"Uh......" Meng Zheng was stunned, and then: "Oh." ”

Qin Xin sandwiched a piece of meat into Meng Zheng's bowl, and then Meng Zheng blushed shyly again, and then, Qin Xin looked at the other party's flushed face-probably...... This is the most different thing between his son-in-law and other sons-in-law. This wife is married, to be honest, not strong at all, and she really has no sense of ownership at all. Except for the second when she talked to Zheng Qing just now, she showed a hint of the temperament of a hostess, but it was only a hint of it.

You say, if you could be stronger, wouldn't I have fewer troubles?' ’

Qin Xin looked at Meng Zheng and couldn't help but think. At this moment, Qin Xin suddenly felt that what was happening to him now seemed a little illusory. Probably...... It's because it's a little too good. He is obviously just a son-in-law, the subordinates do not despise him, the elders do not look down on him, and even his wife is so shy and gentle, it is like a dream. Inexplicably, now he really wants to see someone jump out and mock himself. Anyway, he doesn't have masochistic tendencies. No, maybe...... He just wanted to reposition himself.

……

Not long after, Zheng He and several of his wives and concubines also returned.

After returning, a few people ate there in the lobby.

In this era, at night, although there are no electric lights in later generations, they also know that as long as they light something, they can illuminate. And I also understand that animal oil and the like can be burned.

So in the front yard or indoors, it's actually quite common to have a bonfire or a servant with a torch for lighting or something.

But of course, the smell may not be good, and there will be smoke.

However, this often leaves some interesting stories for future generations. It is said that a person held a night banquet and invited guests, because he was worried that the smoke would smoke the guests, so he asked a servant to cover it, but the guests mistakenly thought that this was an insult to him, and he was furious, so he did not wait for food, and quit eating. "Self-killing" means self-killing, cutting the neck with a knife.

I don't know if it's made up here, or if it's something like the hype that later generations said, the purpose is to be thirsty for talent. But one thing is for sure, lighting at night was not difficult for the ancients, as long as they wanted to do it, especially for a scholar family like the Zheng family who had their own mining and dozens of servants in the family.

And on the way back, Zheng He and the others were actually already talking about Qin Xin's son-in-law.

There is no doubt that the wives and concubines all agreed that this son-in-law recruited a good job and looked talented. Among the wives and concubines, everyone praised Zheng He's eyes like torches and he would pick people. It is also said that this time Meng Zheng's happiness in the future, there is no need to worry too much, and it can be regarded as finally settled. So to speak...... Zheng He was still not very relieved about this, after all, who knew if Qin Xin's kid would play any tricks again.

Thinking of this......

Zheng He asked Zheng Qing, who was waiting on the side, and first asked Meng Zheng and his aunt how the situation was. I learned that I guess I was also eating, but I should have eaten about the same. Then Zheng He asked the boss Zhuang Mi again, did he teach Meng Zheng those key things this afternoon, that is.

Zhuang Mi naturally said that this must have been taught. But Zheng He is still a little worried, after all, he still doesn't know his daughter's character, the disadvantage is that she is too shy, Meng Zheng will definitely not take the initiative, then only Qin Xin can take the initiative, but Qin Xin's side is ......

"How did I forget this!" Zheng He seemed to suddenly remember something very important, and patted his head and said.

"Husband, what have you forgotten?" Zhuang Mi asked.

But Zhuang Mi had just asked, and Zheng He had already rushed out.

It's all to blame Qin Xin, he was angry with him, originally he should have arranged someone to tell Qin Xin, but because he was still angry at the time. Moreover, at that time, I thought that it was good to be able to force Qin Xin to get married, and I didn't care so much, so I put it aside for the time being, but now I suddenly remembered, after all, tonight is the cave room, who knows if Qin Xin's kid will do this. When they didn't go to the cave room, the two of them sat and sat all night, not knowing what they should do after they got married.
