The New Year is approaching, and many matters such as Suzhou Mansion and Zhuangzi are inseparable from people.

On the eighth day of the new year, the Dafang family set off to return to the south. Because the old lady of the Shen Mansion returned to Beijing at the end of the month, the uncle, his wife and two children stayed in Beijing temporarily.

The old man traveled in the mountains and rivers for a year and a half, and half a month ago, he wrote a letter saying that he wanted to return to Beijing for the New Year.

Shen Ying's father, Shen Jieyuan, was in Suzhou Mansion and was busy with official business, so he asked his daughter and son-in-law who happened to be in Beijing to fulfill his filial piety, and then returned to the south with the Shen family's ship to Beijing to deliver New Year's gifts.

On this day, as soon as Xin Yao got up, she felt that something was wrong with her body, and when she lifted the quilt, there were a few red spots, which turned out to be Kwai Shui.

Xin Yao wailed, hurriedly summoned Weiyun, and took out the menstrual belt prepared in advance and used it. In ancient times, women came to Kwai Shui, poor people wrapped plant ash in cloth, and exquisite people used silk and silk.

Xin Yao prepared this thing as early as last year.

Based on the experience of later generations, she asked the master to buy a large amount of cotton outside, take it to the market, and ask the master to play it into a thin quilt and expose it to the sun. When used, it only needs to be cut into a long strip, covered with silk, and placed in the menstrual belt as a sanitary napkin for future generations.

In Xin Yao's previous life, she couldn't understand a kind of woman who carried LV in front of her and went home to eat instant noodles; She looks glamorous on the outside, but she wears cheap underwear. In her opinion, no matter how expensive the bag is and how beautiful the clothes are, it is not more important than taking care of her stomach and body. A woman doesn't even care about the most important and important parts, who can she expect to take care of you sincerely.

After changing her clothes, drinking a bowl of hot brown sugar soup, and taking the hand stove handed by Weiyun, Xin Yao leaned comfortably on the pit, but saw her mother enter the house with a smile, and said busily: "Mother, everything in the house is done?" ”

"No matter how big the matter is, how can Yao'er's matter be important. My daughter, grown up. Big girl. ”

Xin Yao was ashamed and annoyed, and said with a red face: "Which big mouth, little thing, also asked my mother to come over in the cold." ”

"Silly boy. It's a small thing, but it's a big thing for my daughter. ”

"Mother has to shout that the whole house knows about it?"

Seeing Xin Yao's rare look of a little daughter, Gu said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." What's wrong with Yao'er? ”

Xin Yao had to say: "My stomach is a little uncomfortable, and I don't feel anything else." ”

"That's good, these two days, don't catch a cold, it's nothing. Just rest in the room, what you want to eat, just let the next person do it. ”

"Mother, I can save it."

Gu Shi paused and said, "Yao'er will be fifteen after the New Year." The old lady began to pay attention to the marriage of the third lady a year ago, and has been inquiring outside for the past few months. You're a few months younger than her, so you should have looked like each other a long time ago. Mother didn't want you to be so young, so she got married, and she never told you about it......"

Xin Yao winked mischievously and smiled: "What does the mother want to say, don't be afraid to say it, my daughter listen." ”

Gu Shi saw Xin Yao with a wicked smile on his face. Angry: "Ghost clever, what am I going to say, is it difficult, do you still know?" Although the marriage is a major event, the parents' orders, and the words of the matchmaker. My Yao'er is as smart as she may be, and she is not an ordinary woman, and my mother still wants to hear your thoughts. ”

Xin Yao said perfunctorily: "My daughter doesn't want to marry." ”

Gu said with a smile: "There are three things in the world that cannot be trusted, one is that the elderly say they don't want to live, and the other is that the young people say they don't want to grow up. The third is that the eldest girl said that she didn't want to marry. ”

"Mother, there are two things in the world that cannot be trusted, the tears of women and the vows of men."

Gu's willow eyebrows were raised, and he smiled angrily: "At a young age, what are you talking about?" ”

Xin Yao sighed: "If my mother definitely wants me to marry, just find an ordinary family and find an ordinary man." ”

"You kid, how can ordinary people dare to marry the daughter of the Jiang family? What do you think, tell me the truth, between our mother and daughter, what else can't be said? ”

Xin Yao smiled and said, "Mother, in fact, my daughter really doesn't want to get married, so she wants to accompany you to live happily for the rest of her life." ”

Gu Shi was not angry when he heard this, but Yingying said: "Why? ”

"You think, if you get married, not to mention your in-laws, sisters-in-law, and concubines, you are concubines, and those who have sex are also annoying. Why bother to go up to the pole and find sin? ”

Jiang Xinyao leaned on Gu's body, and gently rubbed her head into Gu's arms.

"I was born with your pregnancy for ten months, and I gave birth with hard work, although I am afraid of falling in my hand, and I am afraid of being spoiled in my mouth, but I am also raised like golden branches and jade leaves. You are willing to marry me to a stranger's family, wait for this, wait for that, endure hardships, be looked down upon, be ostracized, and be framed......"

"Stop!"

Gu Shi laughed angrily: "Aren't all women in this world come over like this? The daughter-in-law who has been boiling for many years has become a mother-in-law, and after staying up, she will come out.

"Mother, stay up, your daughter will be old!" Xin Yao muttered and retorted.

Gu Shi tapped his daughter's forehead and said dotingly: "You kid, it's all your reason...... Who's out there? ”

Chunlan outside said loudly: "Back to the second wife, the old lady invited you to go, saying that the eldest lady is back." ”

Gu Shi responded, frowned and said to Xin Yao: "Hey, thinking that our mother and daughter have a good talk, we can't be idle for a moment." ”

Xin Yao was looking forward to Gu being stumped by something, and hurriedly said: "Mother, go quickly, don't let the old lady and the eldest sister wait for a long time, look, isn't it like this to be a daughter-in-law!" ”

Gu Shi scolded: "You, really let me say something good about you, don't get up, crooked." ”

Gu went out, explained a few words to Li's mother, and went to Guiyun Hall.

After Xin Yao waited for her mother to leave, she smiled and collapsed on the couch with a sad face.

In this era, women have to talk about marriage at the age of fifteen or six, and if they don't get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, they are old girls, and their youth is really short.

In fact, Xin Yao is really willing to be an old girl in her heart. There is a house, a few faithful girls, no calculations, no constraints, free, sleep as long as you want, eat whatever you want, decades later, at the end of your life, your eyes are closed, where you come from, where you go back.

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, in this era of being at home from the father, going out from the husband, and the husband from the son, it is quite difficult not to marry for the rest of your life. Not to mention that the Jiang family disagrees, even if the Jiang family agrees, she and her mother will become the laughing stock of others for a lifetime.

She doesn't care, she can't die if she sneers and sarcastics, it's just that her mother worked hard to raise her, how can she bear to make her mother sad. But it is really difficult to get Xin Yao to marry.

She has been in this world for nearly ten years, but she has the memory of more than thirty years of her previous life, and some things are deeply rooted, no matter how you want to erase them, it is like a sapling, taking root in your heart. Let her sleep in the same bed with a man who has been with n people xxoo, she is not as good as her second sister, find a crippled man to live, and finally settle quietly.

Grandfather and Grandmother Xu, childhood sweethearts, inseparable, and inseparable love, which was formed under a specific background and premise. If the two of them had gone smoothly and had no worries about food and clothing, maybe my grandfather would have had three wives and four concubines a long time ago.

The difficulty of finding a husband and wife who is loyal to each other is as difficult as the national football team winning the World Cup in the previous life, buying a lottery ticket and winning 5 million, which is out of reach. Even if God opens his eyes and gives Xin Yao a man who is in love with her, after a few years of good life with her husband and wife, it is difficult to guarantee that you will hate each other in the future.

A cat that does not steal is a dead cat, and a man's loyalty, like the chastity of a prostitute, cannot be questioned. In his eyes, you are nothing more than a mating tool, a fertility tool. When you are fresh and tender, you can also attract a man's eyes, once you are old, at most you can only play the role of a housekeeper and a child.

Men are eager to marry all the beauties of the world, just as women are eager to buy all the world's gorgeous clothes. Those men and women who love each other so much that they are heartfelt, landslides and cracks, touching the heart, and are accompanied by death, only exist in romance.

The reality is that under monogamy in the previous life, there were many cheating men, and the bloody scenes of the main house vs. the junior abounded, the red flag in the man's house did not fall, and the colorful flags fluttered outside. So in this era when the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth are all dignified and legitimate, where does she find someone who can marry.

Thinking of this, Xin Yao sighed, threw down the book in her hand, and said to herself: "I know that there are tigers in the mountains, but you want me to go to the tiger mountain, what courage does it take!"

……

That night, Jiang Hongsheng and Gu were lying on the bed, talking about the marriage of their two daughters.

Today, the eldest lady returned to the house, saying that she was coming to the third lady in the house, and she was talking about Zheng Heng, the grandson of the country, and Zheng Liang, the grandson of the grandson.

Zheng Liang is eighteen this year, has not yet married a wife, and studied under Jiang Xinqiong's husband Feng Siyuan. Although Zheng Liang is young, his poems and articles are far above Feng Siyuan. On that day, the brothers in the garden drank and had fun together, and Zheng Liang had a relationship with Jiang Xinshan.

In fact, it is very sparse and ordinary. Jiang Xinshan was just by the lotus pond that day, reciting a sentence of "Red Lotus Fragrance Residual Jade Autumn" to a pool of residual lotus, with Jiang Xinshan's carmine clothes, a look back, a shallow smile, looked at each other, and was surprised and happy.

Such a charming appearance touched Zheng Shusheng's dry heart for eighteen years. That Zheng Shusheng occasionally peeked at the delicate face, and felt that the soul was shaken, only to feel that this situation and this scene were just like the familiar in the previous life, and the three souls went to two and a half at the moment, and after returning home, they thought about it day and night, and the tea and rice were not stained, and they suffered from lovesickness.

Zheng Shusheng broke off the lovesickness in his intestines, and his heart was crossed, and he returned the matter to his parents.

The Zheng family's Hanmo poetry and book family has a clear distinction between the concubines and the concubines, so naturally they will not agree to the son of the concubine marrying a young lady to enter the door. However, Zheng Liang insisted on going his own way, so she didn't marry, and begged her grandfather Zheng Heng.

Zheng Heng is a classmate of the deceased Jiang Zhen, and he knows Jiang Zhen very well. Thinking of the love of the year, I thought that the woman who came to the Jiang family to raise would not be too bad, coupled with the lovesickness and depression of the little grandson who wanted to die or live, I agreed to this matter after a few thoughts. That's why Jiang Xinqiong went back to her parents' house to say that she was plotting this one. (..)
