Hearing this, Tao Yao couldn't help but retort: "Yes! They always have their point! But they are too inconsistent, at the beginning, they said, as long as the character is valuable, just be good to me, but when they meet someone who is good to me, they start to pick other people's family backgrounds.

Those with good family backgrounds began to find fault with their appearance. If you have a good character, you should pick the character of other people's parents.

I'm just afraid that no one is perfect, they pick and choose like this, where is there a saint in this world who can be worthy of me? ”

Li Shi clenched Tao Yao's hand as if comforting, and said seriously: "That's why I said, this brother of the Chu family sounds good." Don't you just listen to them, what about yourself? You listened to the resume of the Chu family, what do you think? ”

Li's question made Tao Yao gradually calm down, she got up with the stove in her hand, stood under the red lantern, and looked up at the snow squirming from the dry trees: "I think he's very good."

The second aunt said that he knew rhythm, could play the piano and compose music, and I always liked to write lyrics and sing music, but I couldn't play the piano or compose music.

Like me, he likes to travel to famous mountains and rivers, loves elegant things, and always feels that he will have a lot to talk about.

The second aunt also said that every year, their family would open a porridge factory to give porridge to the poor people, and he would personally distribute porridge every time.

In his spare time, he always went to the local almshouse to teach the homeless children to read, and brought them food and clothing, and the children there liked him very much.

At that moment, I even wanted to cry a little, but I couldn't believe that there would be such a person in this world, whether it was his appearance, family background, talent or temperament, all of whom were commensurate with me, and he was still waiting for me. ”

Li Shi looked at Tao Yao like that, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but bring a gentle and loving smile: "Yes, so you see, how good this is, you don't have to worry about it, you just want to get by." But God doesn't allow it, he can't bear to see your pearl secretly cast, and he always has to block it in every way, so that the marriages in front of him can't be completed, so as to achieve this perfect marriage. ”

When Tao Yao heard this, Fu twisted his eyebrows and shook his head gently: "But I never believe that there is anyone in this world who is perfect." But I know that there is nothing in this world that cannot be married in the mouth of a matchmaker. Although I can trust Aunt Shao'er, she is really good to me and will not fool me with some people who are too inferior, but this Chu Gongzi must also have many things that my father and mother don't like. ”

Li Shi listened to Tao Yao's words, which was not bad, but: "Although there is no perfection in this world, people will still pursue perfection." ”

Tao Yao said: "I'm just afraid that I will blindly pursue perfection, and in the end I will draw water with a bamboo basket." ”

Li opened his mouth, but he didn't argue with her anymore after all, he only sighed and said with a smile: "You said that your father and mother always have their reasons, you are not the same, there is always your reason, no matter what others say, you will not give an inch."

It's just that you are always too pessimistic about this family matter, why do you always want to compromise? This marriage is like this, before getting married, this person has eight or nine points of goodness, and after getting married, you will find that there are not even three or four points. Now you think that you will only have four or five points of goodness, and after you get married, I am afraid that there will be no one or two points left, and you will be the one who suffers after all. ”

Tao Yao smiled bitterly: "I'm not good, what can I hope for." ”

"You're not good?" When Li Shi heard this, he was surprised, and then he thought of something, and shook his head again and again, "Xiaoxiao, although I haven't been to many places and haven't seen much, but there are really few people like you and your eldest brother."

How difficult it is to take the Jinshi exam, one subject in three years, and only 360 people are recruited in each subject, and the eldest brother is admitted to the exam.

And the Purple Silk Pavilion you go to receives thirty-six apprentices every year? That's an even harder honor. What's more, your talent and knowledge are not inferior to your eldest brother.

Your father is that kind of character, and he has never been unforgiving. Even your brother who won the Jinshi, wasn't he counted down by him all the time? ”

Tao Yao was a little surprised, although her second sister-in-law was not highly educated, she was very transparent in her eyes. I have always been self-assured, is it because my father has been too strict with me since I was a child and often reprimanded?

Li Shi looked at Tao Yao, who was speechless, and she hesitated for a while before continuing: "Let me tell you something you don't know, that time, the old classmates and old friends of the second uncle returned to their hometowns in fine clothes, and asked him to eat and drink together, and it was dark, and he hadn't come back yet."

Grandfather is not at ease, so let your second brother go to look for him, your second brother is looking for your father in the tavern, he is already drunk, but he is still there to help his shopkeeper and say, you and your eldest brother are his pride, is the greatest comfort in his life. Although he himself is just a showman, he has taught a jinshi and a daughter who does not lose to any man. ”

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, only to feel unbelievable.

He said, "I am his pride, his comfort, and his daughter who does not lose any man?"

"Untimely death, your father and mother are cautious in your family affairs, it's not that they are picky, and they don't have the mind to climb the dragon and the phoenix, they just love you too much, and always feel that no one can be worthy of you, so they choose every other way, in order to make you happy for the rest of your life, not to be wronged, and to live a life of peace and joy, far better than the lintel of the glorious peach family."

At that moment, Tao Yao suddenly realized that his father had been bad for so many years, and what he had no way to boast about was not himself and his brother, but himself who had repeatedly failed and wasted half his life, and could only accept his fate.
