Chapter 257: Sense and Sensibility
"I know a girl who has been with a man for many years and has a deep relationship, and one day, the man asked the girl for a kiss. Guess what's wrong with the girl?" Ou Mengmeng turned to Baochai.
"Childhood sweethearts, eventually become married, beautiful things in the world." Baochai was a little envious, in her opinion, such emotions were the most touching and safest.
"The girl scared away." Ou Mengmeng smiled, stood still, and looked at the sky with a cane, she was talking about her baby daughter, the little star, who secretly fell in love with a certain male star. It's been five years together, the male star proposed to her, arranged a public schedule, and the daughter ran away in fright. Ran home, hugged her, and God didn't give up. Ou Mengmeng said this, just to talk about love with Baochai. Although I think Baochai's temperament is estimated to be a bit difficult, but think about it, I have already said the goal and result, and I also said that love is good. In case of overkill, she turned around like Zhuo Wenjun, her idea was too big, and she was taken away?
"Why?" Baochai's eyes widened, she was envious just now, and now she was surprised, but she immediately introspected, "That's right, the girl's family should be cautious, and she should be the order of her parents, and the matchmaker said. How can there be a private teaching? Well done girl!"
"You're right, they really talk about marriage in private." Ou Mengmeng thought about it and nodded, but she didn't think about it, when her daughter said it, what she thought was whether the male star was going to break up and retreat, "Both parents don't know, so when the man proposed marriage to the woman, the girl was scared."
"And then? Did that boy propose marriage to the woman's parents?" Baochai hurriedly asked the result.
"What do you think?"
"Will it be like in the play, go through the trials and tribulations of the play, and eventually become a family?" Baochai thought about it and felt that this was only in the play.
The old lady asked the eldest sister to find some drama books outside, and told them one by one to their sisters, maybe they had read too much, so they said to the old lady, "The mouths are all scholarly, my father is either a scholar or a prime minister, and giving birth to a young lady must be like a treasure." This young lady must be well-versed in etiquette and know everything, and she is a peerless beauty. As soon as I saw a handsome man, whether it was relatives or friends, I remembered the major events of my life, my parents forgot, I forgot the book ceremony, the ghost is not a ghost, the thief is not a thief, that is a beauty? is full of articles, and if you do these things, you can't be considered a beauty. For example, if a man is full of articles to be a thief, does the king say that he is a talented man, so he will not be involved in the thief case? But I know that the one who made up the book was stuffed by himself......" At that time, after the sisters really looked through a bunch of books, they were all said by the old lady. Even Sister Lin, who is the most talented, feels full of boredom. Listening to what the old lady said now, it's a little new.
"I don't know, I didn't see the end." Ou Mengmeng sighed softly, "The girl should like that boy, right? It's just that even after five years of getting along, they didn't dare to take it home to see their parents, which is enough to prove that both parties actually have little confidence in this relationship, right? I showed you the play book of "The Peony Pavilion" before, and I said it at the time, the story is good, and the lyrics are good. It's just that this man can't ask for it."
"And the girl, there is such a girl, she really deserves to be beaten to death." Baochai doesn't like the girl in the play the most, obviously a good girl, instead of leading her to the abandoned garden to play, helping her to have sex with the matchmaker, it's really a good girl who has been ruined.
"That boy is not a good person, obviously the young lady is alive, but he is afraid that his parents will not allow them to be together, so he keeps the girl by his side and does not teach her to find her parents. I watched a play, and his father was going to the border, and while sending someone to send his wife back, he went to the border alone, and that scene made me cry." Ou Mengmeng watched "The Peony Pavilion" in modern times, and the old student gave his wife a while, and she felt that this daughter was born, so it was better to give birth to barbecued pork.
"You really are, drama, it's just to make people laugh and cry, and to be able to let you take out a batch like this is also its creation." Baochai said with a smile, maybe she has watched a lot of drama books in this paragraph, and she also manages the girls around her to death, and follows the maids of the Jia family to read and write, and to be trained together.
Think about the time when my father was there, he was called brother and brother with the shopkeepers in the house, and in the house, between the mother and the subordinates, it was indeed not solemn enough. And the consequence is that not long after she arrived in the capital, she only learned to read accounts for a few days, and then looked at the shopkeepers and stewards in Beijing, one by one, and she didn't look at her mother and her at all. Obviously, he felt that even though he was in the capital, even if he was under the protection of the five families and the Jia family
Below, they don't care.
So as the old lady said, the rule is shelter. When my father was there, I was polite to them, not because I was afraid of them, but I had countermeasures. If you and your mother are on the throne, you have to beat them until they hurt and make them surrender. But the wrong method was used, in the end, they could only borrow the power of the Jia family and send these people to the official to check the accounts, anyway, these properties in the Xue family's capital are the private property of their house, and they have not returned to Beijing for many years, what is illegal, it has nothing to do with their master's family, and it has been ruthlessly rectified. But he didn't dare to find someone to reopen the business, only saying that the female dependents were incompetent, so the business was over, and he honestly collected rent to live.
There are many things to do, and there are many things to think about. I once wanted to soar into the sky, shelter my mother and brother, and make those who once looked down on them pay the price. But in Jia's house for half a year, I was really trained by the grandmother in the palace, and there was nothing I didn't understand. Now she really went to that pair of snobbish eyes and learned the rules in a proper manner.
"Therefore, when it comes to love, it is not allowed to be left or right." Ou Mengmeng shook her head, she felt that if she taught these children to pursue free love, she would harm them. For example, now she regrets letting Jia Ying and Xiong Er meet. Even if the first time was an accident, the continued meeting after that was completely unnecessary. She brought it in with the thinking of a modern person. It's a shame that Jia Ying doesn't have much feeling for Xiong Er, otherwise, it will be troublesome.
"You're right, so that sister is vigilant and knows to stop the precipice." Baochai nodded and said with a straight face.
"Actually, it's not enough courage. That love is not enough to support them to become biological children and face the rest of their lives. Think about Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, look at the ending, do you think Sima Xiangru changed his mind for that poem? Sima Xiangru has written "Nagato Fu", can one or two poems of love and resentment save the heart of a scumbag? He's afraid! Wen Jun has two intentions, so he decided to break up. Don't underestimate women, I was able to betray my father and help you to where you are today, and now I can betray you and beat you back to your prototype. The house collapsed, what is left of Sima Xiangru?" Ou Mengmeng didn't raise her eyebrows, and smiled at Baochai, "So, when will a woman have a wrist in marriage. You have the strongest temperament among your sisters, and although your background is hard, there are two kinds of people in this world who don't have to follow the rules. One is the top, and the other is the bottom. What did the market say, he was willing to cut his body and dared to pull the emperor off the horse. To put it a little simpler, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes. To be elegant, it is to be rigid without desire. I can't be any worse, who am I afraid of?"
