After Madrigal returned to the room, it was already a little late, she changed back into her clothes, the red as fire, the bewitching long dress, the old mother passed by her side, greeted her with a look of courtesy and stammering.

Remembering that she had not kept it a secret for her, she was unhappy, and she walked past her and heard her greeting, but she ignored her and continued on her path as if she had not heard. There were no more people at her door, and she knew that those people couldn't have waited so long for her here.

She opened the door, and the maid had replaced her with a new bouquet of flowers, and she had a maid, probably because of her strong request. In fact, everyone knows that the money she earns is much more than the money she paid for a maid.

The flowers are still vigorous and thriving. The petals are young, and the slightest fragrance instantly spreads through the room, and you can smell it when you take a breath. She went to fiddle with it, as if she was sad for the flowers and sad for herself.

Although the flowers are extremely beautiful when they bloom and are loved by almost everyone, they are also easy to wither, and once they do, there are no more people willing to appreciate them. However, flowers dedicate their best time to spring, to those who are willing to appreciate themselves.

And what about yourself? To whom have you dedicated your best years? It seems that he has handed over his best years that should have bloomed to a scumbag. When I think of this, the past sweeps over. Madrigal lay on the bed, and she was extremely willing to go back to the warm and happy time of her youth.

Pastoral is the only daughter in the family, and her family situation is also excellent, although her mother adheres to the words of women at that time who are not talented and virtuous, and she has not been able to learn any skills, but she has been actively letting her learn all kinds of things. It's not that she has to learn what her mother likes, and her mother always asks her opinion before learning anything.

She likes kung fu and music, so her mother let her learn a trick and a half for self-defense, and she also learned music roughly. It's just that I was young at the time, and I was always a little naughty, and I didn't like to learn one thing wholeheartedly, so I only learned the surface.

My mother was often angry about this, thinking that she had spent a lot of money to hire her husband, but she was not good at learning, and the most important thing was that she took the initiative to learn these things at the beginning. Every time her mother scolded her, her father would always come to comfort her, pet her head, and comfort her.

Looking back, it seems that she is indeed a little ignorant, so every time she does something, it hurts her parents deeply, but they love her so much, so they forgive him every time, and every time, they are silently tormented in their hearts.

When she was eleven years old, she was already very beautiful, with fair skin, like a hibiscus out of the water, and like a noble peony flower, wherever she went, she would be the focus of the crowd, but her parents didn't let her go out much, they had already set a baby for her before she was born, and the so-called fingertips were married.

She occasionally imagined that the man she was engaged to would live and sleep with in the future, and even remember that she would have to bear children for him like her mother, but she had never seen him, and she could not even imagine what he looked like. Every time she asked her mother, she always said that the man was handsome and handsome.

But she didn't believe that her mother would always deceive her children in this way, so that she could marry him with peace of mind. What if his limbs are not sound? What if he's an ugly bastard? What's even more worrying is that they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, will he like other girls? If he married her just because he had a marriage contract, and not because he admired each other, then what was the point of the marriage?

These questions were too complicated for a teenage girl, but she had not been for a few years, and her mother had told her to get engaged to him when she was fifteen years old.

However, at that time, his face would still be confused, and the thought of living with such a complete stranger made her feel that she had no expectations in her heart, but a little fear. She waited for that day, hoping that day would come sooner, and hoping that it would not come.

If she comes, she can go and meet her fiancé, whom she has never met, but who has been curious for a long time, but if she doesn't, she can always be carefree, and she doesn't have to entrust the rest of her life to someone she knows completely.

She often pondered in the boudoir that she had a faint sorrow peculiar to a girl, and it was not entirely because of a marriage, and there were other things that were difficult to say. Her mother taught her to work as a woman, but she was not interested. Mother often scares her, you won't do anything, and you will be wronged when you go to your husband's house in the future.

This scared her, did she have to do anything? According to the regulations, do you want to be proficient in everything? She thought about these words carefully in her heart, she was reluctant to marry, not only because of the female worker, but also because she felt that the future life was a little difficult.

She hadn't told her mother that she didn't like the women and the like, and she had finally grown to fifteen, the most frightening of years. She was in a daze at home, and she was afraid that a stranger would suddenly come over and get her engaged. Then wait for what they think is an auspicious day, put on a red wedding dress for her, and go to serve a man they don't know.

However, it was true that strangers had come to her home, but it was not the engagement she feared. The man who came was her fiancé, who looked tall and majestic, about her age but a head taller than her. Her mother called for someone to call her, and the man was standing in the living room.

It is an ordinary appearance, with a mouth, a nose, two eyes, two ears, and all limbs are sound. She relieved herself, and at the same time looked at the face, staring motionlessly, that face had a majestic air and a manly atmosphere, but it was not as handsome as her parents told her.

She was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it, but the man quietly blushed, and for a moment she was at a loss. Mother chuckled, at such an old age, she was not ashamed, how could she stare at others like this. She quickly withdrew her gaze, sat down next to her, and made him tea. found that he was also staring at her from time to time, why was he not ashamed?

When he had finished meeting her parents, he was leaving, and when he heard his mother say that he was going to Beijing to take the exam, he stood with her at the door, and it seemed that his mother and father had left the two of them so that they could talk. The man was shy, but she was not shy, she looked at him and asked softly. "You're so tall!"

"I'm a man, and men are meant to be taller than girls. You're a girl, and it's better to look shorter. The man said, looking at her, but not straightly, but cautiously.

"So, do you like short girls too? Do you think I'm good-looking? She had already thought about asking him when she saw him. She didn't care if she was shy or not, anyway, she would only be able to see him once in a long time.

"Nature is liked. I just like you for being so petite. The man said, "It's estimated that it will take a long time to take the exam, and you can't get engaged according to the agreement, you won't blame me!" ”

"It's fine. Rushing for the exam is the big deal, and I don't blame you. ”

"Will you wait for me?" The man asked if what he wanted was actually a promise, otherwise he wouldn't feel uneasy even if he went to catch the exam. "Yes, I'm your fiancée, and I'll wait for you." She said, why the hell did she wait for him? She doesn't love him, she just hopes that the wedding will drag on as far as possible.

The man got into the carriage and glanced back at her, she waved her hand gently, but he had already left. Only the ruts of two rows of carriages remained. Instead of feeling sentimental, she felt a sense of relief. The mother was very happy, and as soon as she came back, she pulled her, "You see how happy he is smiling, it seems that he likes you." ”

No matter how open-minded her mother was in her heart, when it came to these things, it was inevitable that she would become much more worldly. She chuckled too, "That's excellent, of course." When her mother asked her how she felt about her fiancé, she just chuckled and was fine.

The mother felt that the little girl's family was inevitably shy, so she didn't ask more. He also told her a great deal about her fiancé, who had been a scholar since he was a child, and was good at writing, and when he was ten years old he could compose poems, and the articles he wrote were praised by the villagers.

Listening to her mother, it was a great joy for her to be able to marry him. The only daughter in the family, she can understand all this that her mother does, but she can't always think of that person in her heart.

She had to stay at home and follow her mother to learn female work, as well as all kinds of skills necessary for women. She really should have asked him if he couldn't marry him if he couldn't marry him if he didn't, and if he said he wouldn't, then she would definitely be impressed with him. You don't have to be stuck in this boudoir all day studying.

She thought that the days would pass like this, she got engaged, got married, and then grew old, and lived her life uneventfully, but things suddenly changed a little.

At first, she found out first, there was suddenly a middle-aged swordsman on the street, that person looked unfathomable and weird, but he was arrogant, she paid attention to him for a long time, and finally found out that it was just a down-and-out swordsman, he had no money, he was poor, and he heard that he was going to accept apprentices.

Masteral's friend soon found out and told her. She was at first interested, but when she went to see him herself, she found him dressed in coarse linen clothes and his hair was disheveled. She threw a few coins and hurried away. She has no interest in this kind of person, after all, she is also everyone's best girl.

Later, it was she who met him by chance who was practicing swords, and his quick moves and good swordsmanship were really breathtaking, and she instantly admired him in her heart. Moreover, her little dream of rivers and lakes is also slowly sprouting in her heart. She didn't tell him.

She first hinted to her parents that she wanted to follow a person with strong kung fu to travel around the rivers and lakes and learn swordsmanship, without thinking, her parents naturally disapproved of it. She tried to find a way at home, but felt that she could not convince her parents on her own.

She sometimes hears some news that her fiancé has won the championship and is about to return home, and her parents hint that she may not need to be engaged to get married directly. Even her parents hope that she can marry him as soon as possible, he is so good.

Thinking of this, she felt depressed in her heart, it was obviously her own business, why should she obey her parents' decision, not to mention, her parents did not ask her opinion. She still has a dream she wants to accomplish and an ambition to walk the rivers and lakes, so she hesitates.

She didn't want to marry that person, if she didn't have freedom after marrying him, but after marrying him, she would inevitably lose her freedom, and she didn't want to marry him anymore.
