Chapter 101: Abandonment
Tao Yao slowly said to Zheng Qiaoyan: "I see that you have a straightforward and free personality, and you are not informal, bold and careful, and you are also the most intelligent and sensible person.
It's just a matter of teasing me with something like that.
It's just that in the matter of marriage, although it is the words of the matchmaker of your parents, but your mother is not around, and your father spoils you so much, if you feel that the marriage is not going well, or there is something bad about the son of the family, as long as you have to say good words to your father, I think your father will listen to you. ”
Zheng Qiaoyan tilted her head and looked at Tao Yao: "How do you know that my father spoils me?" ”
Tao Yao patiently analyzed: "You only look at Xiaoyan's affairs, you can speak in front of the master and the jailer, your status in the Zheng family can be seen, if you don't have your father's connivance and pampering of you, where can you call the wind and rain to that point?" ”
Zheng Qiaoyan was a little in a trance when she heard this: "Is this spoiling me?" He was just busy with official business all day, so he didn't have time to care about me at all, and even my marriage didn't care about it at all, so he just blindly handed it over to the people in the outer three ways, and he was up to what others said. ”
Tao Yao finally heard a few words of truth from Zheng Qiaoyan's mouth, so she only asked tentatively: "Did your father hand over your family affairs to your aunt to help each other?" ”
Zheng Qiaoyan was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”
Tao Yao smiled slightly: "Fang is what you said yourself, your father and aunt are not allowed to marry Mr. Wei." Since it's not your father, then I think it's your aunt who is in charge of your marriage. ”
Zheng Qiaoyan flattened her mouth with disdain: "You are still a little smart." ”
Tao Yao continued: "Your aunt's family background is high, and she has been in Hangzhou for so many years, and she knows many sons and young masters of dignitaries and dignitaries......
Before Tao Yao's words were finished, Zheng Qiaoyan's brows were already wrinkled into knots, and she almost snapped up: "If you don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense, that old witch is a human-faced beast heart, whatever, she only knows how to coax my father, what eldest sister is like mother, eldest brother is like father, it's all fart, it's all nonsense!" Now that she finally has a way to punish me, how can she let it go, she will definitely get some scum behind my back for me, so that people outside can't find the slightest fault, she is such a person! ”
Tao Yao was surprised by Zheng Qiaoyan's excitement, Tao Yao couldn't have imagined that Zheng Qiaoyan had so much resentment towards his aunt, originally thinking that both of them were in Hangzhou, Zheng Qiaoyan had no mother's protection since she was a child, and this aunt helped Zheng Qiaoyan's career, and the relationship with their family would be good, who would have thought that it would be like this.
Zheng Qiaoyan looked at Tao Yao, who was frightened by her excited words, and finally eased her tone and said, "You were scared by me, and you also think I am unreasonable, don't you?" My father always felt that I was not good, and I couldn't say anything about that old witch in front of him, or it would be my sin. ”
Tao Yao can now see that she quarreled with her father at home, maybe not because of marriage, but because of this aunt.
Tao Yao only said softly: "I don't think you are unreasonable, but I am distressed, you must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of grievances under the hands of this Admiral's wife." ”
Zheng Qiaoyan's eyes turned red all of a sudden when she heard this, she turned her back and pursed her lips, and it was easy to hold back her tears.
Tao Yao gently soothed her slightly trembling shoulders and said, "Qiaoyan, your mother has not taken care of you personally since she was a child, and a father will never be as careful and thoughtful as a mother to her daughter, so that you will be wronged." ”
Zheng Qiaoyan's breathing gradually trembled, and it took a long time for her to turn her back to Tao Yao and slowly tell the story of her childhood: "At that time, my father was still trying his best to get an official and a half-position outside, he was suppressed by my grandfather's family, and he had no hope of a career, and he didn't even have a place to settle down in Hangzhou, but he took my brother with him wherever he went, but he left me at my aunt's house."
My aunt scolded me every day, saying that I was a mourner, and insulting my mother and my grandfather's family with all kinds of unbearable words.
She, as the head of the house, treated me like this, and there was not a single maid and servant up and down their family who did not follow the example of the master of the house.
I was still young at that time, I couldn't stand them talking about my mother like that, I was angry, I was furious, but there was no way at all, I could only lock myself in the house and not eat or drink, but I complimented them, and gave me leftovers and rancid porridge to eat.
They didn't allow me to mention my mother again, and I wanted to write to my mother, but they tore me up and burned it, and humiliated me again, saying that my mother was married and didn't want me anymore, so they sent me to my father.
But at that time, my father was bent on being an official in the camp outside, and he didn't care about me at all, and every time I came back to my aunt's house to see me, if I said that my aunt's family didn't say a word, he would only know to admonish me, saying that I was disobedient and did not know how to be grateful, so that I would be more polite and polite to my aunt.
also said that my cousins and cousins had the demeanor of everyone one by one, and even said that my mother did not teach me well in the capital.
I said that I wanted to go back to the capital and go back to my mother, but he became angry and said that my mother didn't want me anymore and didn't allow me to mention my mother again......"
The gloomy past of her youth weighed on Zheng Qiaoyan's heart like a dark cloud, no matter how indulgent she was when she grew up, to make up for it, even her aunt and father no longer remembered the story of her childhood.
But for Zheng Qiaoyan, those things have been vivid for so many years.
Even if he has grown up now and can get along with his aunt and uncle on face, the memories that have accumulated in his heart cannot be easily erased.
Zheng Qiaoyan didn't trust this admiral's wife at all, so naturally she wouldn't approve of the marriage she had prepared for herself.
But what happened at the beginning, Tao Yao didn't say much, maybe for Zheng Qiaoyan's aunt, the truth was originally as she said. Her younger brother finally entered the Shiji and the first, and he worked hard to achieve fame, but he was suppressed by Zheng Qiaoyan's mother's family, lost the opportunity to stay in Beijing, and was sent to Hangzhou.
They had hatred and anger in their hearts, and they couldn't find Zheng Qiaoyan's mother, so they could only sprinkle it on that child.
Tao Yao gently comforted Zheng Qiaoyan, but she didn't know how to speak, so she could only gently hug her and cry with her.
"Qiaoyan, don't be afraid, it's all over, it's over, now that you've grown up, it's no longer the time when you were helpless about those things when you were a child, your father has now become the prefect of Hangzhou, he will listen to you......"
When Zheng Qiaoyan heard this, she said excitedly: "No! They still wouldn't let me mention my mother, as if I had never had a mother in this world! But isn't it all about marriage that should be decided by the mother? They just took care of themselves, like I did when I was a child, bullying me as a motherless child. But my mother is not dead, my mother is not dead! She just doesn't want me anymore......"
