585 Marriage Events (II)
"Aha, there are so many people here who have signed up? Then everyone has to compete hard, I heard that there are not many girls over there this time, only six or seven people! ”
Seeing that the venue of the first "singles meeting" was full of people, Hu Wen and several other members of the Women's Federation who came to handle the matter together were very happy, and wanted to come up with the article "in short supply" to continue to build momentum, but this time the effect was not very good - everyone came to this party more out of a lively mentality and was not so anxious to bring a Ming Dynasty daughter-in-law back, so although Sister Hu tried to create a more lively momentum and arouse everyone's appetite, but in the end she did not succeed. can only honestly carry out the original plan in laughter and urging - to introduce the woman's situation.
The reason why we want to gather everyone this time is really something to say - although those wealthy families took the initiative to marry this group of "bandits" in the eyes of the former imperial court, although it was to leave a way back for their own family, or to find a new way in this withered world, but after all, it was a last resort. Therefore, the girls who were pushed out as the marrying parties were not the best candidates in their respective families, or rather, they were all the elders in the family who were not very optimistic and felt that it was not easy to find a girl from a good mother-in-law in the Beijing circle according to the "normal" route, so they were put in Hainan to try their luck.
Of course, the so-called "not optimistic" does not mean that there is anything wrong with the conditions of these girls themselves, after all, this is negotiating with a strong and unreasonable armed force, and it is really necessary to get some rude and willful Miss Jiao who can't be a person, in case she offends someone. If you can't get married, you will have to settle a grudge. Therefore, it is said that those girls themselves are quite good in terms of appearance and personality, but the flaws come from their identity, which is not something that can be changed through acquired efforts......
"Most of them are concubines...... To put it bluntly, it is not the wife of the main house. Instead, it came from the belly of the aunt's concubine, who was born inferior in status - according to the opinion of the Ming Dynasty. ”
The people of the Ming Dynasty seem to attach great importance to this, and when Chen Tao negotiated with others, before he could think of this aspect, the other party had already taken the initiative to inform him of this message, which was quite a bit of a conscientious merchant in later generations, "What I sell is processed goods". Probably because he was afraid that he would settle accounts with them if he found out about it afterwards - in the minds of these Ming Dynasty people, the difference between the descendants and the concubines was obviously a very critical issue.
However, neither Chen Tao nor Hu Wen actually took this matter too seriously, but since the other party said it. Then they had to talk about it in an internal meeting. And in Hu Wen's mind, this is a typical example of the oppression and discrimination of women in all evil feudal society, and it belongs to the old idea that the Women's Federation should resolutely oppose, so after declaring this matter. She immediately stared at the audience with blazing eyes, looking at the posture, if anyone came out at this time, she was likely to be regarded as a negative example to receive a long lesson.
After getting along for so many years, everyone has long understood the character of this political work sister. Therefore, even those young people who have always liked to say strange things are very interesting at the moment and keep their mouths tightly closed, not giving the middle-aged aunt on the stage who is entering menopause a chance to play.
After waiting for a while, Hu Wen saw that no one had expressed an opinion on this matter, so she entered the main topic of the meeting - began to introduce the specific situation of each candidate on the other side. After all, marriage is a matter of the individual. All of you here are modern young men, and it is impossible for them to accept blind marriage and dumb marriage. No matter how good the family background is. If you don't know anything about me, no one will make up your mind.
According to Hu Wen's introduction. This time, there are six girls on the other side who plan to marry, and they are all concubines. But the introducer repeatedly emphasized that the upbringing and education they received since childhood was exactly the same as that of their daughters, and a few of them were simply raised directly in the name of Mrs. Zhengfang herself, and they were never treated discriminatorily, so they can be absolutely assured in terms of morality, talent, housekeeping, etc.
When Chen Tao was in contact with the other party before, the introducer on the other end also took out some embroidered handkerchiefs, purses and other handicrafts to show them to show that these girls' female celebrities are absolutely passable. However, of course, Chen Tao can't see whether it's good or bad, and it's impossible for people to let the flow of the boudoir go out casually, so just take a look.
"Eh, I said it earlier, it would be nice to let him bring a camera......
Someone below sighed, but was immediately ridiculed:
"If you really bring a camera, who still shoots that thing, and takes a few photos of me directly, isn't it more than taking a handkerchief purse or something!"
——Hu Wenlala talked for a long time on the stage, but she never touched on a key question: what is the appearance of those girls? For Qiong Haijun, a group of modern people, they don't really care much about what they are, their family background, and their female craftsmanship - their own wealth is more than enough to support a full-time wife and a group of girls and old mothers, so they don't have any requirements for women in terms of material. As long as the appearance is pleasing to the eye and the personality is better, it is enough.
It's a pity that Hu Wen can't say anything substantive in this regard, even Chen Tao in Beijing can't see with his own eyes what other girls look like - if there is a lesbian over there, maybe the other party will find an opportunity to hold a party or something, so that the girls can come out and show their faces, but Chen Tao, an unmarried man, will never get this kind of opportunity - unless he himself wants to join the marriage team, it is close to the water and the first ...... However, under Chen Yue'er's gentle offensive, Chen Tao had no idea of this at all, and this time he really wholeheartedly wanted to protect this big media for the comrades in the rear and make this contribution to the collective.
To this most critical place, it is unclear? Most of the people below lost their interest at once. However, Hu Wen was also prepared for this, so she immediately spoke again and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, we definitely won't settle these family affairs in a daze without even seeing anyone - after we have a candidate on our side, the next step is for the two sides to further understand and communicate with each other. And at this stage, we definitely have to try to get the people who sign up to meet each other, at least take a picture back. If Chen Tao can't do this in Beijing, the Women's Federation will send someone over, and if necessary, I will go myself......"
Hu Wen's assurances were a little reassuring, and the venue suddenly quieted down, and Hu Wen's introduction also sped up a lot. In the end, after she said everything she had to say, she finally entered the last and most important stage:
“…… Next, please raise your hand to sign up for the comrades who plan to participate in this marriage activity, and Zhu Yueyue will make statistics, so that we can make further contact with each other. ”
After saying this, there was silence in the room...... Still silent. Don't look at so many people below, but they are all just below you push me and I push you to laugh at each other, but none of them raised their hands. Hu Wen waited on it for a long time, and her face couldn't help showing some disappointment:
"Don't be embarrassed, if we want to survive in this era, we must get married, have children, and pass on the family lineage, we should be cautious about marriage, but we don't have to be too timid."
These words had an effect, and after a moment of silence, a young man suddenly raised his hand. Hu Wen knew him, but it was Wang Chen, who was particularly good at painting in the team - the "Hongwu Tongbao" silver coin they issued, and the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang on it was written by Wang Chen.
"I'm sorry, Sister Hu, I still want to confirm - if we get married, we will still live on Hainan Island after we get married, right?"
"Yes, they marry people here, that's what they said a long time ago."
Someone finally responded, and Hu Wen immediately shook her spirits. But Wang Chen's problem is not one:
"So, after they get married, does the collective have any plans for the future arrangements of these people? Or do we have to think for ourselves? In addition, if they can't adapt to our side of life, or because of differences in personality and temperament, they really can't get along...... How to put it, in a word: can I allow a return? ”
There was a burst of laughter below, and Wang Chen was obviously thinking more far-reaching and asking more carefully. But Hu Wen was happy because of this - the so-called suspicious goods are the buyers, the more detailed he asked, the more he intended to participate, like the few smirks next to him, obviously belonging to the idlers who purely watched the excitement. So she also responded patiently to the other party's question:
"We have also considered this aspect: the arrangement of those girls depends first and foremost on the wishes of the person and the family. According to the introduction of the other party, the education of those girls is mainly in housekeeping, and they are all shaped according to the standards of feudal family managers. However, on our side, most of them are small families, there are not so many maids and servants to manage, and most of the personal property is managed collectively, of course, the other party may bring some people to marry...... But in general, their 'talents' may not be brought into play. Moreover, these girls are generally of a younger age, only seventeen or eighteen years old...... Therefore, if they feel bored at home, we plan to send them to a girls' school, and on the one hand, they will be influenced by some of our habits and customs. On the other hand, the knowledge and skills they have mastered can also be taught to the students of the girls' school, and it just so happens that our girls' school is mainly teaching housekeepers, so they should be able to play to their strengths in this regard. ”
"As for the situation where you find that you can't get along after you get married......
Hu Wen hesitated for a moment, but still nodded:
"We advocate marital autonomy, and if it is true that couples cannot get along with each other after marriage because of personality concepts and other issues, then no one can force it." ……)
