Ding and Mama Ding glanced at each other, this girl is really strange, if this unmarried girl listens to others talk about her marriage, she is naturally shy, all kinds of cowardice, how can she be so unmoved?

At that time, they just opened their mouths to persuade her, which girl will not marry? It's human nature to say that these are human feelings.

After a few words, the distance between the two compartments was shortened, and it was easier to speak.

But this girl didn't give face, and she didn't have a trace of shyness on her face, but looked at them fixedly, waiting for them to continue, they didn't know what to do.

Ding smiled awkwardly, and said again: "Yun Jiao, have you ever heard your parents mention your future marriage to you?" ”

Yun Jiao looked at her intently, and said slowly: "Second uncle, Yun Jiao is young, and the marriage is not in a hurry. ”

Dare them go around in a big circle, not to beat their grandmother's idea, but to beat her's idea, this is planning to sell her?

Pu Jia also understood at this moment, and couldn't help but feel anxious in her heart, but it was difficult to interject.

"You are ten years old, you are not too young, you are also a sensible person, and it is not much to talk about these things," Ding continued: "At the beginning, I married your second uncle when he was nine years old. ”

"Yun Jiao has never thought about marriage, I believe that my parents have their own decision," Yun Jiao looked directly at Ding, her eyes clear.

Although she refused this time, what she said was also the truth, the marriage matter, the order of her parents, and the words of the matchmaker, she would not think about it, it was useless to think about it, and her father would not let her make her own decisions.

is because since she was sensible, she never thought about what kind of person her future husband would be, and she was always a useful person to her father.

She has also heard that there are many women in this world who are unwilling to be arranged by their parents, but the final outcome is always unsatisfactory.

is like Qian Xianglan, she also resisted, but in the end, wasn't it Shen Changdong who got into trouble?

If you know that struggling is useless, then take it calmly.

Ding always felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her like this, this dead girl was only a little bit old, and she didn't leak anything when she spoke and did things.

"That's what I said," Ding hesitated, and then continued, "But if you can choose one that you like, it is extremely rare, and how many women in this world can't ask for it." ”

"What did the second aunt say? Yun Jiao doesn't understand ......" Yun Jiao pretended to be ignorant, wanting to confuse the past.

I was curious in my heart, who could say that the second aunt came here to persuade her so kindly?

While he was talking, a voice came from outside: "Ah, his aunt, why are you standing outside, let's go in together......

Yun Jiao was overjoyed, and the people who broke the siege came.

She didn't pay attention to what was being said outside, so she pulled her leg and greeted her: "The eldest aunt is here." ”

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a middle-aged woman walked in, she was not tall, her complexion was yellowish, she was a little thin, she was holding a common bun, her clothes were just ordinary, her face was tired, with a faint color of wind and dust, obviously she had a long way.

"Yun Jiao, you've been miserable for your aunts, what do you say about your mother-in-law's body?" Qian Fangru affectionately pulled Yun Jiao inside, and saw Ding sitting in the room, and greeted him attentively: "Second sister-in-law." ”

"Fang Ru is here," Ding stood up, but walked behind her: "Sister-in-law, good nephew, come in and sit." ”

Yun Jiao turned around inexplicably, and saw that two people followed behind, but it was the eldest sister-in-law of Ding's mother's family with her eldest daughter-in-law.

She thought that Ding got up to pick up her eldest aunt, but she was surprised by her abnormality today, and she never thought it would be like this.

My grandmother had eight children, the first three were sons and the next five were daughters.

The eldest aunt is the eldest daughter.

According to the customs of the Dayuan Dynasty, the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter should marry closer to their mother's family.

After the parents are not confused, every third, sixth, and ninth birthday, they must be taken home by the eldest daughter or the youngest daughter for a meal, which is called "crossing the shortage".

"Lack" is a hurdle.

After this is crossed, you will be able to live a long life.

It is to marry the eldest daughter and the younger daughter closer to her mother's family, so it is convenient to take her parents to "cross the vacancy".

Yun Jiao's maternal grandfather is a person who pays great attention to folk rules, the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter are married not far from their mother's family, the three daughters are strong, and the women are not allowed to have eyebrows, the maternal grandfather married her into the imperial capital, and the second daughter and the fourth daughter married together to a village in the western suburbs of the imperial capital, separated by dozens of families, counting on them to share the joys and sorrows, and help each other.

The intentions of parents are always good, but as for the way forward, it depends on the creation of each person.

Yunjiao's eldest uncle Zhou Songnian was a honest and honest farmer, and there was a brother in the family, and the eldest sister was married.

Seven years after getting married, Qian Fangru gave birth to three big fat boys in a row, and it stands to reason that life should be smooth.

But in ancient times, it was not a good livelihood to face the loess with its back to the sky, and it was not possible to earn much money by plowing the land and enduring hardships, and the family had food and clothing, and there were harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there were a few children waiting to be fed, and the life was already stretched.

In addition, a few years after the second child of the Zhou family got married, he left behind a wife, a son and a daughter, and took the woman next to him to go away and eloped.

His younger sibling was also very angry, and after being abandoned, he fell seriously ill, and then he became completely mad, and spends his days babbling nonsense to doors, windows, or any objects in the house, saying things that no one can understand.

In this way, the Zhou family had three more mouths, and the old father was angry with his second son and couldn't afford to get sick, and he soon died.

And the old mother is old, and she can only help to watch the children, and she can't do rough work.

It was really not enough to make ends meet just by relying on him and his wife to farm the land, but fortunately, Mrs. Qian made up for it from time to time, and she could barely survive.

Zhou Songnian was not living well, so he began to eat and drink, and his temper gradually became irritable from then on, and he blamed Qian Fangru and punched and kicked him.

Qian Fangru is the eldest daughter in the family, the old lady Qian has not yet made a career in those years, the family is poor, as the eldest daughter in the family, she naturally bears the burden of taking care of her sisters, and her parents scold her on weekdays is inevitable, which makes her a little soft.

For Zhou Songnian's beating and scolding, she has always swallowed her anger, except for crying, she doesn't think about him.

In this way, her mother-in-law, who was still alive at that time, did not take her seriously, and her status in the family can be imagined.

Yun Jiao has always felt that her aunt is a poor person, living a humble and forbearant life.

She has worked hard all her life, and she still has no time to rest.

It's a pity that she never gave birth to a daughter, although everyone outside says that raising a son is a blessing, but if you have a daughter who relies on her heart, she can talk about hardships and grievances, right?

It was because of the affairs of her eldest aunt's family that Yun Jiao knew that her second aunt had never been waiting to see her, and she was surprised when she got up, and when she looked back, she realized that she was going to welcome her mother's family.

"This is Yun Jiao! It's all grown so big! Ding's sister-in-law, Zhou, stepped forward with an arrow and grabbed Yun Jiao's hand and looked up and down.
