Chapter 19 Daughter-in-law
The reason I wanted to move to the garden was that, firstly, I was influenced by the Grand View Garden, a man lived with a group of women, and I dreamed of it! Secondly, I was extremely bored because of being confined and found something for myself to do.
Just as Xu Hao was busy exploring around the garden, the matter was like a pair of invisible wings that quickly spread throughout the Xu family's ears.
At Fushouju, Xu Cuitao and Xu Luzhu reported to the old lady that they also wanted to move to the garden. It is probably because young people yearn for fun and freedom, and their daily lives are really boring, so they are very active.
Unexpectedly, the old lady rejected her and shook her head and said, "They let it go, you two won't do it."
"Why?" Xu Luzhu is young and likes lively and looks very disappointed.
The old lady laughed and said kindly to them: "Cui Tao will be engaged next year. You have to learn rules and etiquette during this period and prepare a dowry. So I want to let Cui Tao come and live with her grandma. Grandma can't bear to leave her, so she must have a companion by herself, and Lu Zhu, you can accompany you."
Xu Cuitao was both surprised and happy at the moment. She was embarrassed to ask her future husband directly who she was, and pretended to be shy and lowered her head.
"Whose family is it?" Zi Luzhu stepped forward.
"Of course I won't feel wronged Cui Tao." The old lady smiled and pretended to be mysterious, and said sadly: "It's finally time for you to grow up and get married. Alas, I'm old and I'm content to see a granddaughter's grand wedding with my own eyes."
"Grandma is talking nonsense, you are obviously not old." Xu Luzhu lay obediently into the old lady's arms.
In the second bedroom flower hall, Wang said to Xiao with a spring breeze on his face: "The next year, I will be busy organizing the wedding, and I will also repair the newly-wedding yard, and I will also arrange the dowry of Cuitao, the girl. There are a lot of messy trivial matters, which is a headache. I heard that Qinglian and Hongye were going to move to the garden, so I was in trouble. I happened to ask Cuiyun and Cuiliu to move over, so I asked my sister to help take care of her. I am very grateful to my sister-in-law."
"Congratulations to my sister-in-law first." Xiao smiled again: "The family will not speak two families, but the two girls will come here. If you have any questions, please ask me. Sister-in-law, please give me some instructions, and you don't have to go there yourself."
Wang was proud, but she didn't see her brother and sister asking who the future in-laws were. She was so itchy that she couldn't get upset. She had been talking nonsense for a long time, but Xiao still didn't ask. She couldn't help but say, "Qinglian is old, what are the plans for my sister?"
Xiao smiled and said, "Hao'er said that girls are not easy to get married when they are under 20 years old, what are the psychological and physiological strange things. I thought about it carefully and thought that it makes some sense. After discussing with the old lady, I would first find a good family to book a marriage. It would not be too late to get married after two years."
"That's right." Wang clapped his hands and said seriously: "When we married in the early years, we were thirteen or fourteen years old, and the suffering still vividly. There is also the eldest sister in the house who was too young to give birth and was plagued by illness. The old lady still regretted it. For this reason, she has not given her second uncle a good face for several years, so she raised Qinglian and Cuitao until she was seventeen, because she was afraid of repeating the same mistakes."
"There is no way for the second uncle, who dares to disobey the imperial edict?" Xiao sighed and smiled again, "Fortunately, although our family is not rich, it is a blessing that the old lady is reasonable in the marriage of his children."
"Yes." Wang nodded in agreement and said in a low voice with a smile: "You don't want to know who you are in love with, great!"
Xiao sighed in his heart and said happily: "How can you and the old lady hide your thoughts from me? Tell me quickly, which prince is it?"
"Haha, no wonder the old lady said you are monkey spirit, you really can't hide it from you." Wang smiled for a while, and turned his head mysteriously, "It's the prince and princess of the King of Qin. It's not advisable to be heard. Sister must keep her mouth shut."
"King of Qin?" Xiao was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Is Cuitao going to marry to become the prince's concubine? God."
"You." Wang gave her a blank look, "You are so angry that I am not. Cui Tao's title is the second concubine. This is because of the sake of the King of Yan and the Second Uncle. I am content anyway. As for the princess Pucheng whom she married, she is the eldest sister of a concubine."
"The second concubine is also a great joy, and it really makes my sister envious." Xiao is the truth, but who made Cui Tao the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the house? This is incomparable to Qinglian.
Wang finally welcomed Xiao's envy, and he said goodbye with satisfaction. Xiao sat alone in the flower hall, frowned and thought hard, and naturally she was unwilling to be far surpassed by her sister-in-law.
Xu Hao came in outside. Xiao looked at his son's leisurely appearance and suddenly became angry: "If you show off that day, you won't need a dwarf at this moment."
Xu Hao looked at my mother's face and asked, "Mom, come and listen. Even if you beat me and scold me, you have to explain it clearly."
Xiao sighed, told the marriage as it was, and said, "I found out that the princess Pucheng of the Qin Wang family was sitting on that day. Although she was a concubine, she was the eldest sister. Her noble family was no less than the legitimate family! I didn't expect that she would marry into our family. If you performed well that day, the princess might have fallen in love with you. It's a pity."
"You are thinking too much. I am not the eldest son of the house, but I am just studying with the prince." Xu Hao said nonsense. Xiao felt strange. He would never be surprised. If King Yan Zhu Di did not have such a long-term vision, he would not dare to raise an army to fight for the throne in a mere corner.
Marriage has been the easiest and most effective way for powerful people to form alliances with each other since ancient times. However, it seems that King Yan did not care about King Qin, or did not want to attract too much attention, otherwise the best marriage partner should be Xu Da's grandson.
Marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter, the Xu family seemed to have taken a big advantage this time. With the status of the King of Qin, the dowry is naturally rich, and it can be said that it is both wealthy and wealth. The second grandfather Xu Da is undoubtedly the one who secretly contributes to this.
Just thinking about it casually can feel the complexity of this marriage. Xu Hao was a little chilling. Who made his associations too rich? He could easily imagine a bunch of conspiracies.
He didn't know what the ending of the King of Qin was, and said to Xiao: "Mom, children are not tools for parents to cling to power. What can they do if they can't compare with others? Face is important or the lifelong happiness of children is important? There are many troubles among wealthy families, let alone wealthy families. I would rather my elder sister marry an ordinary person who loves and spoils her. Life is more important than anything else."
Xiao shook his head and said, "The words of children are not necessarily reliable. Some are people who are fond of the new and tired of the old and are greedy. They know people and face but not the heart. How can you guarantee that your sister will live a happy life after marrying? In contrast, it is better to be a good family. At least if you are neglected by your husband, you can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing."
"That's right." Xu Hao agreed with this point of view. It's pitiful that all parents in the world are no longer passionate young man who yearns for love. Although Xiao's point of view is definitely not absolutely correct, it does represent the most secure mate selection criteria represented by his parents as a person who has experienced it.
Xiao was more than a little bit serious about his son. He changed his mind and said with a smile: "What kind of wife do I want to marry? Let me tell you, let my mother see."
Xu Hao was stunned, raised his hand and touched his head, looked at the sky with his eyes, and said, "Beautiful, sensible, gentle, cute, not jealous, understands interest, understands people, is kind but not pedantic, is wise but not show off. Be filial to elders, loves relatives, does not just spoil their children, knows love and heat, by the way, you must also have knowledge, talent, good at managing finances, and socialize."
"Stop, stop." Xiao was dizzy when he heard this, and said with a hilarious smile: "Oh my god, you might as well marry a fairy."
Xu Hao said yearningly: "That would be fine."
