Chapter 159 Fear

Shen Qiuqiu pulled back her wild thoughts, stabilized her mind, quietly closed her eyes, and waited for drowsiness to take her to meet Duke Zhou.

Yu Xiaoxiao, on the other side, didn't pay much attention to this side. As soon as it got dark, she went back to the house after dinner. When she lay down, her soul entered the space and started to get busy.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhang went to the town on an ox cart carrying a basket and wandering around to inquire.

Shen Qiuqiu was obediently waiting at home to get married, taking her younger brother with her.

But Yu Xiaoxiao was still in the yard at home, slumped on a rocking chair and basking in the sun.

Now she is 68 years old. Several of the old sisters who used to go out and chat with her every day a few years ago have left. The ones who enjoyed the best are no longer out and about anymore.

She is a little lonely, and she may have a lot of time left, but the old sisters who come from here don't know how long they have left.

Although she had learned some superficial medical skills, they were all aimed at treating illnesses and were not directly cultivating immortals. She could not extend their lifespans and could only watch them leave one after another.

She had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know how long she could live. She was a little scared at the moment. Will she have to have white-haired people give black-haired people away in the future?

Shen Qiuqiu interrupted his mother's eloquent words and said: "Mom is not good, let's look at other people."

Shen Qiuqiu didn't want to get too entangled, and shook Mrs. Zhang's arm coquettishly and said, "Mom, please tell me about the other people, I'm just not happy~"

Shen Qiuqiu had heard about Landlord Li's family. Mrs. Li was a famous shrew from all over the country. Landlord Li was afraid of his wife. Outside he was romantic and happy, but at home he was controlled by Mrs. Li. I was so small that I didn’t even have a concubine.

Mrs. Zhang pulled her daughter into the house and whispered: "My daughter, listen to my mother, it doesn't have to be a death of both parents. Although many sons have parents, their parents are open-minded and reasonable, and they can even If you separate your family as soon as you get married, your parents won't be able to do anything to you. Do you think this will work?"

Shen Qiuqiu did not tell Zhang what she was thinking directly, but talked about family differences: "Mom, if I marry him, then I will be marrying high, and my mother's family will not be able to support me at all."

As soon as she thought of this, she felt like she was out of breath. At most, when those outsiders left her, she was just a little emotional and reluctant, which led to her depression.

With no other choice, Mrs. Zhang still planned to discuss with her daughter to see if the conditions could be relaxed. There were many good men in the town, which were much better than raising a family.

Shen Qiuqiu thought about it and felt that this was okay, so she asked, "Have you asked about the specific situation of those people?"

Shen Qiuqiu summed it up, that is, this person is good-looking, has a good reputation, and may be promoted in the future. This means that this person is difficult to control. If she marries him, she may have to take concubines for him in the future.

Shen Qiuqiu also listened to them one by one and analyzed them all carefully. In the end, there were only two people who thought they were good. The others were either at risk of taking concubines again, or they had something wrong with them.

They are her roots in this world. If she loses her roots, how will she survive...

The feeling of powerlessness made her listen to gossip a lot less. She was too lazy to pay attention to the occasional comments from the capital. She was somewhat escaping from reality now. As long as she didn't think about it, she would feel a little better inside. calm.

It was easier to look at the family this way, but the problem was that the young son her mother was talking about she had met several times in the town. He was indeed not a person who indulged in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, but that guy was also an out-and-out stubborn man. They dare not do anything serious and harmful to nature, but they have done many things that are not considered serious evil.

Everyone has something to do, and the world will not stop because of anyone's emotions. During the period when Yu Xiaoxiao was escaping from reality, Shen Qiuqiu's mother, Mrs. Zhang, kept track of all the sons and daughters in the town. After all, I haven't found anyone who meets my daughter's qualifications.

Shen Qiuqiu could only tell her mother everything about this, so that her mother could stop trying to beat Landlord Li's youngest son. Mrs. Zhang said about the third candidate: "If the first two can't work, my mother can't do this." There are more than a dozen, so let’s take our time and pick..."

As for the remaining two, Shen Qiuqiu actually felt that they were worse than the one taking care of the family. She hesitated for a long time and said, "Mom, please let me think about it again."

Zhang didn't understand, so she asked directly: "Why can't this work? You haven't even seen the person, how do you know that the person is not good?"

Mrs. Zhang disagreed and said: "Yao Yuan's wife's family does have a higher family status than ours, but we didn't say we would marry the eldest son or the second son. Our family's family status is not considered high. If you accept To avoid bullying, we can still do it by supporting them."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and spoke in detail: "The best one is the second son of Yao Yuan's wife in the town. Not only is he handsome, he is also a scholar. If you marry him, you will be a scholar. I specially found him. People have inquired, and it is said that this person’s literary talent and knowledge are among the best here, and his future prospects are limitless..."

Mrs. Zhang looked at the sky and said, "Okay, you can think about it yourself while Mom goes to cook."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her daughter and talked about the second person: "The youngest son of Landlord Li's family, he is not bad looking. This little son is also the youngest son of Landlord Li's family. He is pampered and loved by the whole family. , after you get married, they will split up the family immediately. The youngest son will be happy with Landlord Li, Mrs. Li, and his life will definitely not be any different..."

Thinking about the worst, if a high-ranking official's daughter fell in love with him, would he still be at risk of being divorced, or would he stop his wife and marry another, or demote his wife as a concubine? It would be a matter of life for him if he was more vicious. explain.

In other words, some of these are more or less true. Then I absolutely cannot marry. My family has a weak foundation. If something like this really happens, it might even affect the whole family. This is definitely not a candidate for a good husband. .

But Yu Xiaoxiao didn't know how she would deal with the son she had raised for so many years, and the daughter-in-law who had been with her for so many years, if any of them left.

Thinking about the novels and TV series she watched in her previous life, the more Shen Qiuqiu thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. At that time, there was a popular saying in her mind: "Art comes from life, but is higher than life."

Shen Qiuqiu nodded and saw that after her mother went out, she threw herself directly on her bed, closing her eyes and thinking on her arm.

She had met the second son of Shopkeeper Qian's family, and he looked gentle and elegant. However, after dealing with him, she knew that he was extremely resolute and had a rift in his heart. He only wanted to be an official and shine on his family.

There is nothing wrong with this man. He is extremely studious and very principled. He is a complete gentleman. He is truly outstanding. Even if you find fault with him, you cannot find anything wrong with him.

As long as such people don't die young, they will one day become masters.
