Chapter 161: Confidant?
Chapter 161: Confidant?
This made Xiaodong even more confused.
"What the hell is going on ......?"
Although the Wu family has withdrawn, Wu Li has always been fighting with him, but he refuses to marry another. Here I want to say goodbye to him, and he went to the temple to say that he wanted to become a monk, and he made a fuss several times, and once he directly said that he wanted to marry him again, unless he was still the first parent, otherwise he would not marry in this life. ”
This person...... Ahem, it's really a bit of a scoundrel.
"Then, can he marry Miss Cheng Yin?"
Zhao Lu shook his head: "I can't marry." His mother also said that if he wanted to marry this dead star of his brother and grandparents, she would hang herself in front of the door with a rope when she entered the door. ”
It's too strong.
Sure enough, the sprinkling mother is also an old prank. And having said that, Wu Li's mother occupies a moral position, and a filial piety word can make Wu Li unable to raise his head. Even if he marries Miss Yin and enters the door, it is not certain whether his mother hangs herself, but it is possible to kill Miss Yin first.
"That Miss Yin can't make it with him, and even if it does, life won't be good."
The life and death of the daughter-in-law in these years is almost ** Chengdu is pinched in the hands of her mother-in-law, even if the husband can protect it, but the husband can protect it for twelve hours a day? How long can he stay at home? The methods in the inner house are cruel, and they often kill people without seeing blood.
"Wu Li and I have known each other for a long time, when I used to study in the palace, he was the companion of the third child of Uncle Wang's family, a very clever person, and he also had a bit of talent. We used to be together a lot, and I already knew about him. Before I met Miss Yin, I had already heard Wu Li talk about her. In fact, if he and Miss Yin can succeed, the two of them may be able to live well. ”
"That'...... What do you think, brother? Miss Yin, what does she think herself? ”
Zhao Lu smiled: "What are we...... I wasn't in a hurry, and my father didn't rush me. Miss Yin...... She would have preferred to go the other way. After a pause, he said, "Miss Yin has already handed over a letter to the head of the Evergreen Academy, saying that she wants to find a position in the academy. ”
Xiao Dong's mouth opened slightly-Miss Yin wants to be a professional woman?
To be a working woman in this day and age......
cough, okay, weaving and embroidering are counted as one kind, nuns and Taoist aunts are also counted as one, female gentlemen, female teachers are also counted as one, and there are palace people in the palace, female officials, it is also counted as one, well, the teaching workshop hook column...... That's one of a kind, too.
But if there is no way, most of the women at this time still stay at home, and it is the right way to teach their husbands and children.
Compared with these professions, it is certainly good to be able to get a gentleman's position in the college, and it sounds good to say, and it is not tiring.
However, has Miss Yin really reached that step?
Her uncle's house can't accommodate her anymore?
Xiao Dong thought about seeing Miss Yin these few times, her dress has always been generous and simple, there is no jewelry on her head, and her clothes are not expensive materials - even the style is not new. What was she wearing last time in the Fourth Princess's Mansion? I couldn't remember it for a while.
Speaking of this life, Xiao Dong has never been poor in his life. In the past, when she was young, she had a monthly routine, as well as all kinds of jewelry and toys, and the annual distribution of the annual clan was not short. King An and Zhao Lu never hid their secrets from this only daughter and sister, and they did everything they could for her. When Xiaodong gets married, the dowry can be called ten miles of red makeup, and the treasures of Zhuangzi Shop are so rich that people's eyes are hot.
This doesn't mean that Xiaodong doesn't know what it's like to live a poor life. Overstretched, there is a good dress to be carefully treasured, and it is worn when meeting guests during the New Year's Festival, and it is absolutely reluctant to do so on weekdays. It's rare to see meat once a month, and you have to cut a piece of meat and hang it on a beam and eat it several times - even though this is a wealthy capital, there are still many families who live like this. The courtyard of the deep house may not be full of fine clothes and food. Most of the people living in Changle Fang are the princes of the clan, but there are some like King An's mansion, and some are dilapidated. There are few inputs, a large population, and many subordinates are used to save face, tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and secretly pawn pawns, and their lives are not as good as those of ordinary rich people.
Miss Yin's uncle is a four-grade official, and it is said that life should be passable.
"Miss Yin...... Don't want to get married? That brother ......"
Although there are no rules and regulations, the female gentlemen and female teachers in the academy are either widowed or have never married. For example, the famous talented female district master Ou Lanying is a widow who guards the door.
Miss Yin's experience is certainly pitiful, but Xiaodong is more concerned about his brother's lifelong happiness.
If Zhao Lu likes her, then regardless of whether her reputation is damaged or not, whether she has no dowry or not, Xiao Dong doesn't mind.
What did Zhao Lu think in his heart?
Zhao Lu smiled and touched her head: "Speaking of which...... Miss Yin is different from any woman I've seen before. I counted with her, but I didn't actually say much, and when we met a few times, I was talking and she was listening. I knew she could understand and understand what I was thinking......"
"So," Xiao Dong shook his arm: "Brother likes Miss Yin?" ”
"I can't say if I like it or not. Sometimes I think that if she were a man, she would definitely have the same temperament as me and be a confidant. Actually, I went out yesterday because her mother was sick, and I sent some medicine...... She and I have never spoken a word of affection for children, even ...... There was no mention of marriage and marriage, she was far away from these mundane things, and others were thinking about finding a good home to marry a good family, as if she had never thought of it. ”
Well, it's not bad.
Even Xiao Dong, who is dressed in modern times, thinks about getting married and has a settlement in this life, this Yin girl's idea is really ahead of her time.
Talented women are always a little different from the laity.
"But brother, this kind of fellowship of yours is valuable in your heart, but others seem to be giving and receiving it privately...... Spread out, what will Miss Yin's reputation do? ”
Zhao Lu touched her face: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
Xiao Dong felt that he hadn't counted much.
Zhao Lu is quite sophisticated and shrewd in other aspects, why is he a little confused about this?
If Miss Yin is not a lady, but the top brand of the teaching workshop, then it doesn't hurt to be a confidante. But Miss Yin......
Why does Xiao Dong think that although he asked his brother about this matter clearly, when he came back and thought about it, he was even more confused?
Does Miss Yin like her brother or not? If you don't like it, why bother? Is it trying to take advantage of him? If you like it, why don't you get married? Is it because he is afraid that his reputation will be damaged and he will not be able to enter the door of the palace?
Does my brother want to marry her as a wife? If you want to, just let people propose, I don't believe that there is a wife that King An can't marry. If you don't want to, it's better to cut it in two, so as not to mislead others and yourself.
Alas, this is really the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are in a hurry.
Zhao Lu himself is not in a hurry, King An is not in a hurry, he is worried.
