056 The Truth of the Ancient Maid Xiaocui
"In ancient times, getting married was always on the orders of parents. The matchmaker said that the young master could choose which lady to want. As long as the lady's parents agreed, the lady herself had no choice. Our Miss Wan'er's marriage
Of course, you have to listen to the master!”
"In this way, then I won't be the pork on the chopping board, and I'll be at the mercy of your master and wife?"
"It won't be as tragic as you said. Don't worry, for the sake of the lady's happiness, our master and wife will definitely choose a husband who is of equal age for you. We will definitely not be like you dreamed of in your family.
, A man who does not match your age, appearance and appearance will appear. The masters of our ancient wealthy families have their own standards for choosing son-in-law for their daughters in their house. Is it innocent and prominent to go to the family, and is it easy to get along with others?
Whether it is knowledgeable or not. From the way of treating people, getting along with people, and reputation, is it a playboy or something?"
"What do you ancient young men look like? Are you all as tall, handsome and elegant as you played on TV?"
"This, my personal vision is different, and my appreciation of people is also different. If the lady wants to know the appearance and appearance of our ancient young masters, it is an excellent opportunity to go to the temple fair to watch the lanterns and watch the moon tonight. Because, every Mid-Autumn Festival every year
There will be grand events at festivals and temple fairs, and many young masters and daughters of wealthy families will appear at temple fairs. The temple fairs actually provide us with a chance to meet and exchange tokens in private and make a lifelong appointment for the sons and ladies of wealthy families in ancient times.”
"Aren't they themselves unable to make decisions? How can they make a lifelong decision in private?" Ouyang Xinyu asked in confusion.
"This lady is unknown. At the temple fair, which young master is lucky enough to fall in love with which lady, he will go over and ask which daughter of the mansion? After returning, he will discuss with his parents, and then
Ask the matchmaker to come to the house to propose marriage. Some young masters and ladies met at the temple fair, and both parties were satisfied, so they secretly exchanged tokens for a lifetime. However, there were many people who failed, so they could only sigh and complain.
Destiny is here.”
"Then, if the woman likes a man, will the woman's family go to the man to propose marriage?"
"Miss, in ancient times, there was no saying or practice of a woman proposing marriage to the man. This lady may not be able to raise her head in the future. The man must go to the woman's house to propose marriage, which is the correct way. Even if the family's house is
The lady was very satisfied with the young master who was going to be betrothed to that family, but she could not show it in front of outsiders.”
"There is something like this? If the lady likes the person who comes to propose marriage very much, and the master and wife don't like it, then this is not something that can't be done?"
"Yes, the young master must prepare generous gifts when he comes to the mansion to propose marriage. If the woman's parents accept it, it means that the marriage will be completed. If he refuses to accept it, it means that the master and wife of the family will not agree to the marriage."
"We modern people go on blind dates, both men and women and parents are face to face. It is roughly the two parties agree on a place to have a meal, drink coffee, etc., and then the two parties will get to know each other's family status, income, work, etc.
In terms of things. Next, whether to continue dating depends on the man and woman’s own intentions. If you meet each other, you will have a date in private, and you will no longer need your parents to come forward. We are free in love in modern times, and we have
When you find the partner you like, you will take it home for your parents to see, and it will be fine if your parents are satisfied. If you encounter someone who is not satisfied with your parents, you can be together as long as you like them."
"What a wonderful thing it would be if we could be with the person we like? But the fate of our ancient women was in the hands of authority. Those of us girls, like us, may be lonely all our lives.
One person, we have no power, and we cannot choose or even touch marriage. Because our parents have sold us, which also includes our happiness. We will be slaves for life and serve this Shangguan Mansion for the rest of our lives."
"Xiao Cui, do you have any lover?" After hearing what Xiao Cui said, Ouyang Xinyu suddenly felt sympathy for the fate of poor families in ancient times, and she asked Xiao Cui casually.
"Miss is joking. How can we, the servants with humble identities, have the right to like others?"
"So, will your ancient maids and friends never get married?"
"Not this, like Mrs. Gui and the housekeeper are just a couple. Did their wedding wine be held in Shangguan Mansion or was it hosted by the master and his wife personally!"
"That's it. If Xiao Cui also has someone she likes one day, she can also tell the master and his wife that the master and his wife are so good, and he will definitely take the marriage for you."
"Miss, forget it. Don't mention these things to the master and wife. Xiao Cui will always be by her side and serve her."
"Then are you going to never marry for the rest of your life? What's the point of living like this?"
"This is Xiao Cui's fate, the fate of Xiao Cui's audience! If you want to change, who has the ability to change a person's destiny? Xiao Cui does not have that ambition and does not want to do that!"
Ouyang Xinyu can understand what Xiao Cui said. In ancient times, women were humble in their identities and resistance would only make their lives even more sad. Whoever does not want to do whatever they want according to their own wishes? However, the limitations of the times are in this
Who can truly do whatever you want in backward eras? I'm afraid only the current emperor can do it!
"Xiao Cui, can we not attend the temple fair tonight and go to other places?" After all, they are all sad topics, which will only make people feel more depressed. So, Ouyang
Xinyu disconnected the topic.
"Miss, Xiao Cui knows what you are thinking. It is dark and windy at night, so it is absolutely impossible for you to do that. Even if Xiao Cui doesn't say it, the master and the wife will definitely know. If they blame it, then
It’s not as simple as being confined to the end. Xiao Cui will be beheaded!"
"If I don't go out to find clues and investigate the truth of the matter, will I be imprisoned in this Shangguan Mansion for the rest of my life and will never go back. I will get married and have children here, and I will die until I die?"
"Miss, I can understand your mood, but listen to me, since I promised you, I will definitely help you. You must believe Xiao Cui!"
"Xiao Cui, I'll ask you something, you have to tell me the truth."
"Okay, just ask whatever you say. Xiao Cui must tell the truth."
"You said you believed me and agreed to help me. Is it because your lady's affairs have something to do with your life?"
"Yes, it was indeed the case at the beginning. But Xiao Cui didn't lie to you, and what Xiao Cui said was the truth. If you insist on telling the truth, Xiao Cui would not stop you. But after you tell the truth, you will tell the truth.
, What will be the consequences? Have you ever thought that no one will believe you at all!" Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xinyu would suddenly ask her such a question, but she had never deceived Ouyang Xinyu from the beginning. So,
