Chapter 105: Matters of the Heart
Haitang quickly understood what Peng Yuqi was depressed about.
Her parents are affectionate, and she is the only daughter who has been married for 20 years, and she has never considered taking a concubine and having children. Her mother died, and her father had no intention of continuing the strings. Girls who grow up in such a family have no shortage of love and warmth in their lives. But after she lost her mother, her grandmother and uncle, who were supposed to comfort her in family affection, only cared about selfish interests and ignored the grief in her heart, and she was naturally devastated.
Considering Mrs. Peng's filial piety to her biological mother, her father and daughter heard that Grandma Jin was sick, even though they knew that the Jin family had other intentions, they still chose to let Peng Yuqi travel more than 2,000 miles to serve the sick. This decision was undoubtedly risky, but Peng Tongzhi did it anyway. Peng Yuqi accepted her father's arrangement, but how could she get close to the foreign family who secretly calculated herself and her father?
It's okay to have friends with her on the road, but now she is getting closer to Chang'an day by day, and she is about to meet her ill-intentioned uncle, even if she was in a good mood, she will be depressed at this time.
Haitang couldn't interfere with other people's family backgrounds, and after figuring out Peng Yuqi's heart, she could only comfort her: "It's okay, you just have to take care of your grandmother." It's close, whether she's really sick or fake, you can always figure it out. Even if their family really has bad intentions, they can't do anything bad to you, unless they want to offend your father to death. When your grandmother's illness is cured, you will have a reason to say goodbye and leave! ”
Peng Yuqi pouted and said, "Grandma also said that she would keep me by her side to raise me, and I would stay in Chang'an for at least two years." My father didn't plan to marry again, so naturally he couldn't find a suitable person to raise me, otherwise he wouldn't really let me live in my grandmother's house. I'm not afraid that the Jin family will dare to do anything bad to me, I have so many people around me! Besides, I'm not a bully. If they dare to calculate me, I will dare to beat me back! ”
Begonia raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Although this little girl is a little mournful, and unlucky enough to meet a foreign relative who wants to calculate her, she herself is not a young lady who is at the mercy of others. Jiangmen Tiger Girl, who has driven more than a thousand miles on horseback, and there is no shortage of helpers around her, can she make people easily calculate?
Haitang gave her an idea: "If their family comes according to the rules, they just want you to get along with your cousin a lot and fall in love for a long time, then you can politely tell them the rules, don't talk about men and women, and don't let your cousin have a chance to get close." Looking back, what shortcomings he revealed, if you are picky a few more words, you will have a reason to refuse the marriage. If you hear any rumors in Chang'an that cousins and cousins are married and the children born are not very smart, they can also be used as a reason for refusal. ”
Peng Yuqi hurriedly said: "You also know this statement? That's what my mother once said. But she refused to give me to my cousin, not entirely because of that. She knew my cousin's temperament, felt that he was not suitable for me, and felt that my aunt was not a kind person, and she was afraid that I would be wronged in the Jin family! ”
"That's even better!" Haitang said, "Since your mother thinks that your aunt and cousin are not harmonious and inappropriate, they will show these shortcomings sooner or later." You use these as reasons to make your father refuse to marry, and your grandmother has nothing to say. It's not that you dislike his family, it's that your aunt and cousin themselves are not angry, expose their shortcomings, and make people talk. If your grandmother still insists on beating you together like this, it means that she is too partial, and she doesn't really love your mother and you. Then you and your father want to refuse the marriage, and there will be even more reason. ”
Peng Yuqi took a serious look at Haitang: "Sister Hai, I think although you are young, you are more knowledgeable than other older people!" When others hear that my grandmother wants to match me and my cousin, they don't think that my grandmother and uncle are selfish, but think it's a good thing. They said, I don't have a brother, and when my father dies, I will have nothing to rely on, and if I marry into someone else's family, I'm afraid I will be bullied. The Jin family is my mother's mother's mother, my dearest, if I marry my cousin and have my grandmother and uncle as my backer, it can be considered stable. Even if my father regrets it in the future and wants to marry another wife and have a son to inherit the family business, I am not afraid of losing my support. Those people persuaded my father to agree to this marriage, but you were the only one who told me to find a reason to refuse the marriage. ”
Her father's decision to decisively send her back to Chang'an was not entirely because the Jin family was urging her to be tight, and Jin's grandmother was "sick" again, and the remarks of the people around him were also an important reason for him to send his daughter away.
Many people take a fancy to her father's high official position, ability, not too old, rich family background, but no son under his knees, and has the heart to pull the red line to speak for her father, and then remarry another house. At present, her mother has just passed away less than a year ago, and those people are quite restrained in their speech, only openly and secretly talking about her uneducated and unpresiding over the middle feed at home, under the banner of worrying about her, in fact, they want to be a matchmaker in the future. What's more, some people who rely on the old and sell the old will run to her, accusing her of being willful and unfilial, saying that if she is really filial to her father, she should not stop him from remarrying, and take the initiative to persuade her father to find a son.
She and her father thought they were disgusting.
However, there are still some people who really feel that they have a good heart, so they come to persuade her to beware of a stepmother who may have in the future, and choose a foreign family to be her mother-in-law for the sake of safety.
There are also people who believe that the aunt is more reliable than outsiders, and if there are girls among the sisters of her mother's generation who have not yet left the cabinet, it is most suitable to marry Peng Tongzhi to fill the house, and she can give birth to a son for the Peng family and take care of Peng Yuqi, which is called the best of both worlds. Some people are worried that she lost her mother at a young age, and if she is not raised by a virtuous stepmother, she is afraid that she will be criticized as a "widowed eldest daughter" when she says she is married in the future.
Such a person does not listen to words, but there is no malice, and it is difficult for their father and daughter to refute it. Peng Tongzhi simply sent his daughter away, and found another reason to go out to patrol, how far to hide.
Since Peng Yuqi left home, she has been holding back countless breaths in her heart, although she can talk to her best friend Zhou Wenjun, but because among the people who persuaded her father to continue the string, there were Zhou Wenjun's parents and relatives, she had scruples, and she couldn't say that she was happy. It wasn't until she talked to Haitang alone today that she found someone she could really talk to.
Begonia said that this is all a common thing. There was a lot of dog blood she had seen before, so this was where it went.
She said to Peng Yuqi: "In these years, many people feel that it is better to be close to each other, but if the husband and wife are too close, it is easy to give birth to unsound children." There are many similar examples, but not everyone will encounter them, and it is inevitable that some people will be lucky. But other people's close relatives are lucky to marry and not give birth to problematic children, how can we guarantee that we will be equally lucky? If there is really an unhealthy child, the family will suffer from it. It's not that you can't get married, so why take this risk? I don't know your grandmother and uncle, I only know you, so naturally I hope that everything will go well for you in the future. So I'm going to advise you, don't marry your cousin, no one knows if you'll meet that in case. ”
As for whether Peng Yuqi's father wants to marry again, and who should he marry if he marries...... That's all his freedom, and he can discuss it with his daughter. Others think they care, and no matter how much they persuade them, they are just "persuasion".
Who dares to guarantee that the Jin family will treat her well if they marry Peng Yuqi as their daughter-in-law?
Who dares to say that if Peng Tongzhi continues to marry the daughter of the Jin family, the other party will definitely not be selfish and treat his stepdaughter harshly?
Who dares to say that Peng Tongzhi's wife must be virtuous and virtuous, which is conducive to Peng Yuqi's future marriage?
Something went wrong, and only the Peng family's father and daughter suffered the pain. Can the people who persuaded them in the first place still be responsible?
Therefore, it is good to make decisions according to your own heart, and if you are an outsider, you don't have to take it too seriously, because life is always lived by yourself.
