It just so happened that she didn't want to stay at home doing embroidery. After listening to her mother talk about the virtues of women, it would be great to have something to do. Looking at the ice bowl brought by Aunt Bai, Zhang Yishan's eyes were bright.
Seeing her daughter's eagerness to give it a try, Zhang Yiren was helpless. This girl's temper was probably hard to change.
Seasonal meals cannot be delayed. Since it was agreed, Zhang Yiren sent his wife to take Wenyou and Du to the shop on East Street, which is close to the moat. On weekdays, many people go to the river to enjoy the cool breeze and take a walk.
The busiest place in the county.
Seeing that Zhang Yishan wanted to get up and follow her, Bai Yunxi waved to her and asked with a smile,
"Yishan shouldn't get involved in cleaning up the shop, so as not to get into trouble. I made a lot of ice bowls in the morning, so Yishan might as well send some to Dean Zhang, so that he can cool down and have the energy to teach the students.
"
After listening to Bai Yunxi's suggestion, Zhang Yishan blinked, turned to look at her mother covering her mouth with joy, her heart moved, and she suddenly felt like she was enlightened.
"This is a good idea. The richest children in the county are studying in the college. They memorize and write down strategies every day, and their hair is about to be pulled out. If this ice bowl suddenly cools down, it will definitely attract people to snatch it."
The more I thought about it, the little girl felt that she had guessed the essence.
"Mom, Aunt Bai is right. My dad works too hard. I have to give him an ice bowl to cool him down, so as not to correct any naughty student's essay and make my forehead burn."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately called Ginkgo, took the remaining ice bowls with him, and went straight to the college in a mule cart.
Zhang Yiren looked at her daughter's turbulent state and shook her head helplessly.
"I have spoiled my daughter. I want to discipline her, but I don't want her to suffer. But I don't know if it will harm her?"
Every time she wanted to restrain herself, she would see the girl staring at her aggrievedly, either trying to be nice or being angry and ignoring others. After a few times of making trouble, she was quite tired.
I silently comforted myself that my daughter was pretty good except for being lively and active. As long as her in-laws were not too harsh, she should be able to tolerate her.
It is said that a loving mother often fails, and she can understand this sentence very well now.
Hearing Zhang Yiren's worries, Bai Yunxi was very emotional.
"We are all mothers. How can we not feel sorry for the flesh that falls off our bodies? I think Yishan is very good, with a lively and smart personality. Compared to those arrogant girls, Yishan is a good girl who is loved by others.
.”
Although she is a fake mother, she is not as exaggerated as she said, but with the name of my mother, she is naturally willing to see the children happy and smooth, and with less trouble, she can be more relaxed.
"As for the future husband's family, there is actually nothing to worry about. With the reputation of Sister Yiren and Dean Zhang, they will definitely attract a son of noble character to Yishan."
During this period, when choosing a husband for your daughter, nine out of ten people will worry about the daughter encountering a difficult mother-in-law instead of worrying about the son-in-law?
Because once girls get married, according to the custom of the male taking charge of the outside and the female taking charge of the household, the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law will get along day and night. If the two cannot get along, and the word filial piety is placed above their heads, the daughter-in-law will definitely suffer and be wronged.
It is for this reason that those who have daughters prefer a son-in-law. As long as the mother-in-law is easy to get along with, they can agree to the marriage.
Listening to Bai Yunxi's comfort, Zhang Yiren looked at her gentle face and felt very relieved.
"Thanks to your good words, Yunxi, my husband and I have nothing to ask for in this life. We only hope that Yishan can meet her beloved, and then we will be satisfied... Even though you and I are called sisters, I won't hide it from you, Yishan is
My only daughter."
"I grew up doting on her. Now that my daughter has grown up, there are some people who want to marry her, but I have blocked them all. Yishan's child's personality is indeed a bit lively, and she needs time to calm down."
"When a woman gets married, it's like being reincarnated for the second time. I'm always unsure. My husband always says that I think too much, which makes people anxious. He also said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Yishan is kind-hearted and will definitely meet a good person.
People say that, but I am just a child, if she has a bad life, what is the difference between her and ripping out my heart?"
"So, after I think about it, it doesn't matter even if the man's status is lower. As long as he treats Yishan sincerely, my husband and I will use our family's strength to help him achieve success."
Baiyunxi: "..."
It's so pitiful that it's so difficult for parents to forgive. No matter what era they live in, there are no parents who don't want their children to be well.
After confiding, Zhang Yiren's face looked a little unnatural, probably because she had never told anyone this from the bottom of her heart.
"Yunxi, what do you think of my idea? Can it help me find a good husband for my daughter?"
Listening to Zhang Yiren's inquiry, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, having a vague idea in her mind, but she immediately shook her head and denied it.
"Sister Yiren's motherly heart is Yishan's blessing, and it is also touching. Since sister Yiren has asked me, I don't treat myself as an outsider and have two different opinions. If there is something wrong, please don't take it off.
.”
"If anything, it's too late for me to thank you, so how can I blame you?" Zhang Yiren put the handkerchief on the corner of her mouth and gave her a look.
"If that's the case, then I'll show off."
Bai Yunxi put down the tea bowl, looked up at Zhang Yiren, and spoke gently,
"In addition to paying attention to the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, when it comes to children's marriage, the most important thing is that they should be well-matched... This sentence may make many people look down upon me and think that I am worldly. But I think that being well-matched is particularly important.
.”
After listening to Baiyunxi's suggestion, Zhang Yiren raised his eyebrows.
"I would like to hear the details."
"In addition to having similar knowledge and living habits, two people with similar backgrounds also have similar social circles. This alone can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles and misunderstandings. If there are difficulties, both families can work together to solve the problem.
It’s easy to resolve.”
"If there is a huge disparity between families, the balance will be lost, and one party must belong to poverty alleviation. Whenever something happens, whenever something is difficult, we can only use the strength of the family to help. It is difficult for one tree to support itself, and over time, many conflicts will arise.
.”
"There is a saying from our ancestors that marry high and marry low. It is also popular in our countryside to marry a girl with a high head and a wife with a low head. This saying has been passed down to this day, and there must be some truth to it. But sister Yiren wants to lower her head to find a son-in-law for Yishan, so it is better to be cautious.
.”
Bai Yunxi said, seeing that Zhang Yiren listened seriously, he simply said all his thoughts. As for whether she would agree with it, that is a matter of opinion.
Of these words she said, the most important one was the last one, which actually warned her to be wary of poor students.
It is undeniable that those students from poor families are very good and outstanding. But because these people have no backing and want to get ahead, most of them are utilitarian.
