Chapter 40: To Marry or Not to Marry (2)
Today's first update.
-------------------------
The night passed.
Bai He and Lu Ju didn't sleep well last night, and they seemed to be able to hear whispers in the ink purple haze, worried about Qiu Sanniang's affairs, so the two of them didn't fall asleep until the sky was slightly gray.
Afraid of waking them up, Mo Zi got up lightly. No matter who is on duty this morning, she wants to take the shift. I can understand their worries. It's not the kind of worry that one person will attain the Tao and the chicken dog will ascend to heaven, nor is it the idea of both glory and loss, Bai He and Lu Ju sincerely hope that their good girl can find a good husband who will cherish her for the rest of her life. But they have been away with Qiu Sanniang for many years, and what they see and hear makes them no longer naïve. But at least, I didn't completely lose hope. If you choose the third prince of the palace, this expectation is a bit far away.
Mo Zi walked out of the house, turned around and just wanted to go to Qiu Sanniang, but saw a person sitting on the stone chair next to the canna.
The black hair was scattered on the apricot-colored coat, the fair complexion was almost transparent in the sunrise clouds, and the hands were supporting the cheeks, a rare daughter with a worried look.
Mo Zi looked at Qiu Sanniang under the corridor, what about being wealthy, in this worldly marriage, the richer the woman, the more unhappy she is. Polygamy is destined to only share one's love and affection with other women.
After making a new pot of tea, Mo Zi gently placed the tray on the stone table. Holding the pot in both hands, he poured out a cup of green, stood aside, and waited. It seems that a woman who is as free and easy as fire, her bright eyes are also dimmed by the uncertainty of marriage.
"Mo Zi, sit down." Qiu Sanniang picked up the teacup and took two sips slowly, "It's so comfortable." ”
Mo Zi sat down as she said, "Girl, I said not to be affected by my words, the most important thing is your own decision. ”
"My decision?" Qiu Sanniang's tone was fragile, "Do I still have a choice now?" I don't have to choose the palace, then my good mother can just find a lowly man to marry me back. Even if I fall out with the entire Qiu family, an old girl who refuses to marry, really drags down a few of you girls, and lives with me in the eyes of others? ”
None of what Mo Zi said was wrong. The woman's status is better than that of the girl's house. It is better to marry the third prince in King Jing's mansion than to marry a man who doesn't know the details. The big deal is not to fight for the inside, but for the outside. It's a big deal to wait for the next class and live independently. Originally, she didn't have much hope for her future husband. The expectations of Yixin people have long been gone.
"I've figured it out, but—" It felt extremely bleak.
"Girl, I understand." In any case, Qiu Sanniang is a daughter's family. The daughter is in love, and her cold heart is also after the love. "But the girl don't have to be too pessimistic. Whether it's the concubine named Jinsi, the third prince, or the Jingwangfu, if we really compete, we won't necessarily lose. ”
Qiu Sanniang stood up suddenly, walked back and forth in front of Mo Zi a few times, and suddenly laughed briskly, "Yes, it's me who is confused." This battle hasn't been fought yet, so I can't admit defeat first. If I do that, I will be as cowardly as Liuniang. ”
"The girl is right." Moreover, Mo Zi believes that as long as Qiu Sanniang always maintains her penchant of making money, the jealousy of the women in the back house is boring and boring, and it is not worth mentioning.
However, she didn't say this, lest Qiu Sanniang be too proud and in a relaxed mood, so she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't come to toss her.
"Mo Zi, how can I look at it, you have to prepare the three hundred taels." Qiu Sanniang regained her previous shrewdness, as if weakness was just an illusion in the morning light.
"Rest assured, Mo Zi will definitely abide by the agreement. The day the girl set off for Shangdu was the time when Mo Zi presented the money to Ci Nian Nunnery. "It's easy to say, I don't know the bottom of my heart, this is called a dead duck with a hard mouth, and a fat man with a slap in the face.
"As I said, I've always been relieved that you're doing things." Qiu Sanniang is bold in using Mo Zi for her ability and intelligence.
Qiu Sanniang also kept one hand, which was to firmly tie the purse of the black purse. It's all because if she changes herself, I'm afraid that as long as she has some private money, she will leave. Otherwise, why did she never think of letting the white lotus green chrysanthemum coat cushion three hundred taels.
Qiu Sanniang reached out and took the teapot, Jieyu's wrist hung lightly, and poured a cup of tea for Mo Zi.
Mo Zi looked at Qiu Sanniang and pushed the cup over, and she couldn't underestimate this move at all. Qiu Sanniang may not need the girls to serve in the details of dressing and bathing, but it does not mean that she will take the initiative to pour tea for the girls. It's not a high-minded concern for major events such as marriage, but it's a little bit of trivial matters, which should give people a sense of equality. This is the difference between Qiu Sanniang and ordinary young women. As long as she is willing to put her mind into it, she can make the girls with simple ideas smeared with it.
Who has ever seen a young lady pour tea for a girl? It's such a small thing, but it has to make ordinary and noble people lower their posture. Qiu Sanniang can do it, because her insight from south to north makes her know how to convince people's hearts.
Mo Zi has been "working" for Qiu Sanniang with the mentality of a migrant worker from the beginning, but it is precisely because she is such a master that she has made her life on the right side, and gradually gave up the idea of running away directly, and instead sought a better way to survive.
Mo Zi said thank you, and her delicate fingers held the teacup steadily, calmly taking the tea, without the slightest humble uneasiness.
Qiu Sanniang saw it in her eyes, smiled, and also picked up the tea to drink.
"Girl...... Early. The hurried voice came from under the corridor, and Lu Ju ran out in a panic.
"Mo Zi, why don't you call us?" Bai He rarely has a little crampedness, serving Qiu Sanniang for all these years, and sleeping late for the first time.
"Girl, they haven't slept all night when they were worried, so I'll just go back for them." Mo Zi knew when to joke and when to talk seriously.
"Nonsense!" Qiu Sanniang said angrily, the sparkle in her eyes folded again and again, and it was no longer to be underestimated, "Bai He, you go to the chef in the nunnery to help, make some fresh and colorful vegetarian dishes, and let the guests in Shangdu taste your craftsmanship." Lu Ju helped me comb my hair and prepared to go to see Aunt Wei. Mo Zi, after you finish breakfast, bring me the account book of Wangqiu Tower, and come back before dinner. Xiaoyi—"
Originally, everyone thought that Xiaoyi was not in the courtyard, but as soon as Qiu Sanniang called her name, Xiaoyi jumped off the roof and landed in front of Lu Ju, so scared that Lu Ju's mother shouted out.
"Xiaoyi, go back to the house to investigate." Qiu Sanniang waved her hand.
At the sound of an order, everyone took the order and left. is really a girl, and it is really Qiu Sanniang's creation.
At dusk, Mo Zi came back from changing into women's clothes and saw Bai He cutting bamboo leaves in the courtyard.
"So leisurely?" She walked over and saw that the leaves had become flowers, "The girl is in the house?" "With that, he will go into the house.
Bai He grabbed her, "Don't go this time, the girl is sulking." ”
"What's wrong?" Mo Zi naturally thought of Wei's, "Could it be that Mrs. Auntie said something?" ”
"When we ate together this morning, we talked and laughed with our girls. After eating, I walked with him, but after talking for a while, he suddenly quieted down. The girl spoke a few times, but Mrs. Wei was strangely cold. The girl saw that it was not interesting to follow, so she returned early. Bai He always wanted to sigh in the past two days, "It makes my heart go up and down, and I don't know how to persuade it." ”
"What did the girl and Mrs. Wei say?" That's probably a problem with the content of the speech.
"Just talk about the things at home for the past six months, I sound good." Bai He didn't think there was a problem.
So why exactly?
