Chapter 322: Auntie's Life
Qin Mingyue asked, "Then what kind of family do you want to marry?" Far from the capital? β
Qin Minghuan hurriedly said, "I don't want to leave the capital. β
Finding that Qin Mingyue's gaze was a little inquisitive, Qin Minghuan remembered that his own sister had not been taken away from the capital? There is also a concubine Qin Guotan, who also came to Jin Province after getting married, it can't be that Qin Mingyue doesn't want his brothers and sisters to stay in the capital, right?
Thinking of this, Qin Minghuan said, "Second sister, I don't want to go to other provinces. It's not because of greed for the prosperity of the capital. I think a woman's life is more difficult. After getting married, you have to serve your husband, serve your in-laws, give birth to children, and even fight against concubines, and you will not be free for the rest of your life. If there is a tough mother's family, life is better, but if the mother's family is soft, or the mother's family is far away, it will be more difficult. β
"So, I want to be in the capital and I don't want to stay away. It's not that I want to rely on our Qin family and the power of the second sister to do anything, I just want not to be bullied in my in-law's family. Second sister, rest assured, I have never been arrogant and bullied. The second sister can let people inquire, I have never shown off my sister in the circle of noble girls. β
Seeing Qin Minghuan's eager look, Qin Mingyue smiled. Although she didn't specifically investigate, there were some news she knew. At the beginning, Qin Mingzhu was in the capital, but she did not rely on her sister who was a national teacher. For this, Qin Mingyue was very disgusted.
However, Qin Minghuan is different, she has participated in the circle of noble girls for so many years, but she has never heard of any one to deal with, nor has she heard that she is the sister of the national teacher.
Qin Mingyue said: "Third sister, don't worry, there is nothing that we sisters can't say." You speak slowly. I know your heart, you want to get the protection of your mother's family, so that your life in your mother-in-law's family is more comfortable, but? This is understandable, it is true that as you said, the road of women is narrower, so they need a rich dowry and a caring and tough mother's protection. We can do that. It's just that most of the capital is rich and noble, and you don't want to marry into a big family, what should you do? β
Qin Minghuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Second sister, in the capital, not all of them are wealthy, but there are also ordinary families. For example, our two sisters-in-law are both married in the capital. A husband's family is a minor official of the Ministry of Rites, and a husband's family is a minor official of the Ministry of Works. The old days were simple and unpretentious. Because of our two aunts, the dowry prepared by our grandmother back then was quite okay, each of them had a small village, a small shop in the general area, and a year could also have two or three hundred taels of silver. Therefore, not only are they not angry at all in their in-laws' family, but they even have a high status, and their uncles who are also in control are honest. β
"In the past few years, our Qin family has risen, and the life of the two aunts has become better and better. The uncles were promoted and reached the fifth grade, although it was not high, but it also earned the aunts the name of their wives. Several cousins also came to our house to learn to study, and they were knowledgeable, because there was a foreign family like ours, it was very easy to say that they were married, and they were not bad to marry. The status of the aunts in the in-laws' family is getting higher and higher, and this life is becoming more and more comfortable. β
"I want to marry into such a simple family like my two aunts in the future. There are no layers of mother-in-law control above, there is no pair of rules waiting for the family, and there is no group of concubines in the husband's backyard. Maybe the husband's official position is lower, or even has no official position, just a scholar. Or my family background is also very ordinary, but my dowry is enough for our family. It's a little better. β
Now Qin Mingyue understood. It turned out that Qin Minghuan had such a mind, and I have to say that this is a smart girl. Compared to her straw bale sister, she was too smart.
Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "I understand, it's good that you have such an idea." Okay, I'll tell my sister-in-law like this. It is unlikely that you can find a petty official, but it is still possible to find a scholar with good conduct. As long as you have a good character, in the future, with me and my eldest brother taking care of you, can you still worry about having an official position? If you live a good life, you will be blessed in the future. β
Qin Minghuan completely let go of the big stone in her heart, she really didn't expect that her wish would be achieved so easily. Qin Minghuan suddenly had a trace of affection for this sister who was not very close. However, when I thought about it, I actually talked about getting married with my second sister here for a long time, and I couldn't help but turn red again.
Qin Mingyue smiled and said: "Third sister, don't worry, the candidate for the third brother-in-law in the future still has to be carefully searched." The third sister is not very old, even if she finds it well, she can't get married so quickly, so she has to wait for a few years. In the past few years, the third sister should not be wasted, learn more things, especially learn more from the sister-in-law to receive people and things, manage housework, and deal with industrial matters. β
"Well, I told my mother and grandmother for your future. Marry you and Aunt Twelve to the Yin family and the An family respectively. You were married to Yin Changhou, the cousin of the Yin family. At that time, I still thought that when you arrived at your mother's maiden house, your aunt and uncle would take care of you no matter what, and your life would be better. But I didn't expect that Cousin Chang Hou was too angry. β
"First of all, I didn't get married, and I got out to give birth to a child at a young age, isn't this a slap in the face of our family? If it weren't for the fact that it was our uncle's house, we were afraid that we would have proposed to withdraw from our relatives at that time. That's it, endure it until later, Chang Hou's cousin actually fell ill. It's a matter of getting married. β
Thinking of the difficulties of his marriage, Qin Minghuan was also gloomy. She had already planned to marry into the Yin family. Although Mrs. Yin is a little more difficult, for the sake of the Qin family, it should not be too much.
But who would have thought that Yin Changhou was such a gentleman, and he got many women in the backyard at a young age. The maids around him were used many times, and even got out to give birth to children. Isn't this a raw slap in the face? This hurt her for a long time, and she was ridiculed in the circle of noble women.
When she thought of marrying into the Yin family in the future, her mother-in-law was powerful, her husband was a fool, and there were piles of concubines in the backyard, and she really wanted to die.
Fortunately, her life was better, and Yin Changhou actually died of illness. It's okay now, although it has affected her reputation, and some people even say that she was hard to kill her fiancΓ©, but she is also relieved, isn't she? Otherwise, the days after marriage will be dark in the future.
Now that it was easy to get the opportunity to re-select his husband, Qin Minghuan couldn't help but be very happy.
It is precisely because of the reason that Qin Minghuan hates this kind of son-in-law who comes out of this family, and wants to find a simple family to marry, although there is no life of fine clothes and food, but at least his heart is not tired.
