Chapter 539: Get married sooner
Wu'er smiled, "I have been with the Majesty for such a long time, and I have learned a little bit."
Xu Muhua said slowly, "In fact, I think getting married is not something that women must experience. The key is whether the woman is willing or not. It's just that the world is unfair to women. Women are all dependent on men. If they don't get married, I'm afraid their lives will be difficult."
Wu'er paused while grinding ink and sighed, "Yes, if a woman is old and doesn't get married, she will be pointed at and bullied. If she is alone, it will be even more difficult."
"But I think if I get married just for this reason, my life may not be better. Anyway, I am doing well serving the Majesty now, and I don't have any other ideas for the time being."
"Wu'er, don't you want to find a man?"
Xu Muhua asked curiously.
Wu'er shook her head honestly: "No. What's good about men? Not only are they smelly, but they are also lazy! It is said that men make money outside and women take care of housework at home. They both contribute equally. Why do women have to serve men while men just lie down and enjoy?" She
even cursed and said that women are useless and can survive on men. Who is useless?
Humph, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about herself. Her monthly salary is much higher than her elder brother's!
So how are women worse than men? It's just the prejudice of this world against women!
In her opinion, even those stinky men know that women are also capable. If they don't suppress them and trap women in the backyard, women can easily defeat them, and they will lose all their face! That's why women are restricted everywhere and not allowed to stand out.
What's the use of such a man?
She hopes that she can be like Madam Hongyu in the future!
Madam Hongyu is a controversial figure in the history of Dayong.
It is said that she was born in a noble family and was originally well-behaved. When she reached the marriageable age, her family arranged a marriage for her, and she was waiting for the wedding date to marry and raise children. But she didn't expect that her husband would start taking concubines in the backyard just after a month of marriage.
She couldn't accept it and tried her best to divorce her husband. She
thought that even if she divorced, she would still have her family, but she didn't expect that her family thought she was shameful and refused to accept her at all. They also publicly accused her, accused her of not having the good morals of a woman, and was rebellious, and resolutely refused to let her in. They also broke off relations with her and did not acknowledge her.
According to her later statement, she also had the idea of just dying at that time. But when she calmed down, she was filled with a refusal to admit defeat. She was not the one in the wrong, so why did she have to suffer all this, and that treacherous man could have servants everywhere?
She refused to admit defeat, and she wanted the world to see it clearly!
Later, she became a legendary figure, and was honored as Madam by the world.
Wu'er felt that she was probably not as capable, perseverant, strong-willed and smart as Madam Hongyu, but she couldn't live too badly, right?
Xu Muhua didn't know that Wu'er had such an idol in her heart, and she almost couldn't help but give her a thumbs up when she heard her say that.
It was rare for a native feudal woman to have such thoughts as Wu'er.
"Then don't worry, take your time. If you meet a man you like and want to be with him one day, just tell me. You and Shi Liu are both maids that I trust. What Shi Liu has, you will have too. I treat you equally."
Wu'er grinned, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I'll remember that!"
After grinding the ink, Wu'er went out to do her own thing. Xu Muhua sat behind the desk and continued to think about her new ideas. After
finishing, she took out another piece of paper and wrote a letter to her family, asking them to discuss with the Geng family to see if they could get their eldest brother and Sister Zhiqiu married as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's unknown when this marriage will be completed.
Of course, she also told them what happened in the East Palace today, so that they wouldn't hear the news but not know the specific situation and worry in vain.
Everyone in the Duke Cheng's Mansion was indeed worried, and they were relieved only after receiving the letter she sent.
That is...
"This child, why does he want to make the eldest son marry the Geng family girl quickly? This... The eldest son is about to return to the border, how can he have time to get married!"
After reading the letter sent by Xu Muhua, Xu's mother was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. After
she finished speaking, she didn't hear her husband's response for a long time. Xu's mother paused and frowned: "You didn't take Muhua's words seriously, did you?"
Xu Jiang came back to his senses and smiled at his wife, "I think what Muhua said makes sense. The eldest son's situation is special. He doesn't know when he can come back after returning to the border. He can wait, but can the Geng family girl wait?"
The Geng family girl is not young now. If she waits for another one or two years, or even two or three years, she will become an old girl! Isn't this delaying others?
And considering Mu Hua's personality, she would not make such a suggestion without thinking about it. There must be a reason.
Thinking of what his daughter had done, General Xu suspected that she had known something important in the East Palace accidentally or intentionally, so she asked them to get their eldest son married as soon as possible.
"But it's too late now!"
Getting married is a big deal and it takes time to prepare! How can it be done just like that!
General Xu thought for a while and said, "How about this, you ask the eldest brother's opinion first, and then ask the Geng family to see if they agree. If they have no objection, I will go to the palace and ask the emperor to let the eldest brother stay in the capital for a while, and then return to the border after the marriage!"
Xu's mother was stunned, "This...is this possible?"
Will the emperor agree?
General Xu waved his hands: "The emperor will agree!"
He had to agree even if he didn't!
Everyone knew that the old lady in the Duke of Cheng's mansion was seriously ill, and she wanted to see her eldest grandson get married. As a family member, they didn't want the old man to leave any regrets, so they hastily arranged the marriage. What's the problem?
As for the emperor, how could he not agree?
His mother was seriously ill! She wanted to see her eldest grandson get married before she died. Could it be that this last wish could not be fulfilled?
As a man who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, General Xu naturally would not be as taboo about death as those scholars in the capital.
He would let the emperor hear whatever he wanted to hear!
Mother Xu opened her mouth, and finally sighed and closed it again.
Forget it, since that's what you said, let's do it!
To be honest, she also hoped that the eldest brother could get married earlier and marry the girl from the Geng family.
In this case, it is inevitable that the Geng family girl will be a little wronged. The marriage is too hasty, no matter how hard you prepare, it can't compare to others who have prepared for several years.
