Chapter Seventy-Five: What I Thought
Li Shi sat on the chair and looked at Zheng Xiuyu in front of him with some relief, no matter what, Xiuyu finally didn't have the same greedy flowers and willows as Zheng's father and achieved nothing, otherwise she would inevitably doubt whether her choice was correct.
At that time, the Li family originally had two choices, and Mrs. Li at that time did not want the Li family to marry into the Zheng family, after all, although the Zheng family was a big family, the family also had the rules of the family, although he had reached the first place, but compared to those families, he was always a little less substantial.
After such a daughter marries into this family, she will inevitably be restrained, and this is still a clan wife, not an ordinary identity, once there is any mistake, it will inevitably be blamed.
In fact, at that time, Mrs. Li's wish was to let her daughter marry one of his protégés, which he brought all the way from his hometown, he was the other party's teacher, Mrs. Li pointed out the other party's imperial examination all the way, knowing that he had always been very gentle and a tough person.
The most important thing is that he is pressed on the other party's body, even if there is anything wrong in the future, maybe the man wants to take a concubine to see what he means.
Mrs. Li is confident that he can be a supporter for his daughter, so he has focused on cultivating the friendship between the two childhood sweethearts since he was a child, but he didn't expect that when the age of marriage came, the Zheng family came to ask for marriage, and his daughter chose the Zheng family.
Mrs. Li really couldn't resist the Li family, so she could only reluctantly agree, and he had tried his best to support the Li family over the years, but did she regret the Li family? Although she has now become the veritable lady in power of the Zheng family, her husband has long been separated from her, and there are constant warblers and swallows in the backyard, and the only thing she can hold is the face of the Zheng family.
Zheng Xiuyu looked at his mother's smiling eyebrows, in fact, his mother was beautiful, more beautiful than any concubine in the backyard, but his father didn't like her, Zheng Xiuyu had always felt sorry for his mother, so he was determined to be a competitive son, support his mother, and suppress those concubines in the backyard, only in this way could his mother have a bright face.
It's just that he occasionally heard his father's questioning today, he hesitated for a moment, but decided not to ask any more, after all, this past event is inevitably an unforgettable memory for his mother but he doesn't want to think about it, and he doesn't want to make his mother sad.
Seeing that his son, who had always been calm and self-controlled, hesitated on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, Li remembered his accusations with Zheng's father, and his face flashed, and he couldn't help but touch Zheng Xiuyu's head with more pity, his eyes were very gentle, and he said with a little relief in his tone:
"What your father said was nothing more than rumors in the market, you don't have to take it personally, and I have never regretted it. Chinese Net
Can a low marriage really ensure that the husband will always change his mind? I know that my father will support me, but is the friendship brought by this support and bondage really valuable?
Husband and wife may be able to accompany each other for a lifetime, or they may be able to respect each other as courtesy, this is the case with your father, and likewise my brother and I will be the latter if we really get married, I know that he has no love for me, even if he wants to marry me, it is only because of his gratitude to my father.
But this kind of emotion derived from gratitude, is not the love of men and women I want, and they all say that love is deep and full, I am a very realistic person, when I was young, my family was in distress, I have really seen too much, I would rather marry someone with a rich net worth, but also to leave more wealth for future generations, whether you want to take the imperial examination or do business, it is also considered to have some foundation, rather than waiting to start from scratch."
Zheng Xiuyu saw that his mother understood his thoughts, and there was some timidity in his tone, but he still said:
"Mother is also planning for me, Xiu Yu will definitely be more competitive in the future, so as not to disappoint my mother."
Listening to what Li said just now was planned by the younger generations, Zheng Xiuyu couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, in fact, compared to these, he still hoped that his mother could be happy, and he didn't need to think so much about others, but really chased what his heart wanted.
But he didn't expect him to say this, but Li smiled slightly, nodded his head, and there was a bit of ridicule in his eyes, and then walked straight to the dressing mirror and said:
"Silly boy, mother doesn't just plan for you, mother also has your own ideas, although the Li family was an upstart at that time, but his father was an official
Honest, I am quite frugal in food, clothing, housing and transportation, but after marrying into the Zheng family, you look at the luxury, I just take out a hairpin, it is someone else's annual expenses, I walk outside, others have to respect me as the wife of the Zheng family.
I'm not a selfless person, I have to think about myself, compared to feelings, maybe for me, what I have in my hands is real, so I don't care that your father Yingying Yanyan raised a group, in fact, as long as they don't make trouble in my eyes, I just pretend not to know.
However, these are just that, if you are a young lady with a good background, you must not get started, let alone a flat wife or something, your father does not have the courage to do so, after all, it depends on my Li family to speak for him in the court, what I want is only the name of Mrs. Zheng family, not the so-called feelings, there is a way is the itch of seven years, there is a way is the same bed and different dreams, maybe I am just a layman, and the pursuit is only these mundane things."
After that, Li took out a ruby inlaid glass hairpin from the dressing box and inserted it into his hair bun, the hairpin was dazzling and brilliant, which made Li's already beautiful eyebrows and eyes a little more beautiful.
Zheng Xiuyu was a little stunned, he only felt that since this day, it was completely different from what he had seen and known in the past, what Qi Zhenzhen said, what his mother said, what his father said, what Master Zheng said, these words of countless people gathered together, and seemed to bring him a completely different cognition.
"You don't have to worry about other people's choices, you don't have to think about changing other people's minds, and you don't have to change your own ambitions because of other people's words."
Yes, he used to want to do things more properly, to disappoint no one, to understand everyone's emotions, but today he found that maybe everyone wants something different.
Grandfather wants the glory of the Zheng family, father wants a free and casual life, mother wants the position of Mrs. Zheng family, and what does she want? Maybe he never thought about him, all he wanted was to go down according to what others had described him, and to follow the established path.
Zheng Xiuyu hurriedly bowed to Li and then retired, he felt that at this time he needed to think about some things, something that he had not studied deeply before, but very important.
And at this time, Qi Zhenzhen's side, to be honest, after Qi Zhenzhen settled in this city, she always felt a little bored, although she was a little smart, but in the eyes of Master Qi, she still regarded her as a child.
Master Qi has never slackened according to the same teaching to her since then, and what about the others, Master Qi himself does not intend to show himself in front of others, and Mrs. Li has been taking him everywhere to relax, but the three of Qi's second masters, Li and Yao, have come up with an idea, their talent cakes have always sold quite well, and the craftsmanship is more perfect.
So a few days ago, Second Master Qi and his wife and the Yao family decided to choose a good location in this city to open a shop of talented cakes, and slowly make a reputation, no matter what, this can be regarded as a small temptation and foundation for their family here.
Yao and Li are very keen on this, in fact, Qi Zhenzhen also knows that Li is a very smart woman, although she is trapped in the inner house, but she is yearning for her to settle the family business outside, but in the past, she married in the second room of the Qi family, and the Qi family is the housekeeper of Mrs. Qi, so she can only take care of the affairs of her own yard.
So although she longs for people to take care of the business outside, she has no reason to make a move, after all, although she is the wife of the second room, she also shows the image of the Marquis of Mingyuan outside, but since she has arrived here this time, those past stereotypes naturally don't have to be taken into account, so the Li family is planning to do a big job.
Yao's didn't have so many thoughts, she only thought about Qi Zhenzhen at this time, and the most concerned thing was naturally Qi Zhenzhen's marriage, which was always what she was most concerned about, although Master Qi was in charge, but Yao still wanted to save a few more shops, and no matter where Qi Zhenzhen married in the future, she finally had some confidence.
So the two of them hit it off, and today Yao and Li are not at home, so they are going outside to buy a shop.
Qi Zhenzhen is really a little bored, now she is the only one in this yard, there will be a cooking Zhou Pozi at noon, the food she cooks is quite delicious, but she has to wait for almost noon before she comes, Qi Zhenzhen is a little bored swinging the swing in the yard, this
It was she who asked Second Master Qi to get it for her.
I saw a little girl in a plain skirt sitting in the open courtyard, her face was like jade, her black hair fluttered with the swing, and although she was still young, she was enough to see a little bit of beauty.
Qi Zhenzhen felt that she was very leisurely, but she still wanted to do a big job more than this leisure, but she was still young, and it was difficult to win the trust of others even if she wanted to do anything, so she still had to pull the Li family and the Yao family into the gang together, and she just came up with ideas inside.
So what to do?
The Caizi cake must be kept, so some other plans should be derived from the Caizi cake? For example, open a restaurant specializing in fashionable pastries and drinks, first establish a foothold in the city, and then slowly expand to form a chain of houses.
Now although the Qi family tried their best to hide their figures, the new emperor and others in the court did not notice it, but thinking of the other party's resolute attitude towards the Qi family, Qi Zhenzhen still felt that she had to pay more attention and not let the other party disturb the peaceful life now.
In that case, she naturally can't sit still, and she has to do something to deal with it.
