Chapter 277: Enlightenment
Cui Qingyi understood.
Jing Wei was the person she chose herself, and she was very satisfied with him.
She also understands that marriage needs to be well managed no matter what era it is.
The words she said when Konjac got married are still vivid in my mind, but now that this matter has happened to me, I am too lazy to think about it too much, let alone do anything unnecessary.
Whether it is Cui Xiao in modern civilized society or Cui Qingyi in the feudal era, the life experiences of the two lives combined have left a deep mark in her soul.
There are many hypocritical men and women in this world. If we are destined to go to a fork in the road, why bother doing useless work?
People who rarely receive love often tend to have two extremes: either an extreme desire for love and intimacy, or an extreme aversion and rejection.
Cui Qingyi felt that she belonged to the latter category but not to that extreme extent.
But from a certain perspective, Cui Qingyi felt that she was extremely selfish.
Managing an intimate relationship is extremely unreliable for her, and the effort and reward will never be proportional. Because she doesn't want to be involved in an uncontrollable marriage, Jing Wei's appearance just solves the dilemma she may face.
But in fact, for Cui Qingyi, if Jing Wei did not appear, she would personally choose another man, whether it was Zhang Wei or Li Wei, as long as it was within her aesthetic standards, there was actually no difference.
As long as the other person behaves himself and doesn't interrupt her life plans, she can spend the rest of her life with anyone.
Of course, if there is any difference, she is ready to abandon the other party at any time.
Cui Qingyi did the same with Jing Wei. She had taken care of everything now. If something went wrong with him one day, she could ask him to leave her life without any burden and get everything back on track.
This is fine.
But now even Cui Ma, a bystander, has noticed the problem. What about Jing Wei? What does he think?
Can't he see that I don't have much affection for him?
Cui Qingyi looked at Aunt Cui with some self-abandonment:
"You also said that men in this world are greedy. They want this and that. Who can have everything?"
Aunt Cui patted Cui Qingyi's hand with amusement, "You obviously know everything, but you still say such angry words."
.......
When Jing Wei received the package sent by the village chief's mansion, he was not in high spirits. He was twisting grains in his hands and looking at the two geese leaning against each other in the cage with boredom.
When Amu came over with a heavy package, he looked at his master for a long time without daring to speak.
In the past, he dared to make jokes in front of his master, relying on his master's good temper and not arguing with him, but Amu knew exactly when to be quiet.
But he had no idea what was causing his master's mood swings. Could it be really like what his brothers said, that pre-marital anxiety?
"Master, the village chief sent someone to deliver something. Would you like to see it?"
Jing Wei looked up and subconsciously thought that it was the auspicious dress sent by the embroidery shop. He was too lazy to move and didn't want to look at it.
"Take it back and look at it later."
Amu didn't dare to insist on opening the package right now, and obediently prepared to take the things back first. But Snowball flew over from somewhere, landed steadily on Amu's shoulder, and stretched out his claws to grab the bulging package.
Jing Wei then became curious and stood up to take the package from Amu.
A piece of paper fell out from inside. Jing Wei picked it up and looked at it. "I made some dried meat at home. I'll give you one and Xueqiu one."
This very short sentence without any ambiguity made Jing Wei's heart move suddenly. He took out two bags of dried meat in front of Xueqiu's expectant eyes. It was obvious that the one with chili was for himself, and the other one was naturally for Xueqiu.
Jing Wei looked at the dried meat and letter in his hands, and his mood suddenly became relieved.
I originally thought that this was all that was needed, but just as it was evening, the village chief's mansion sent someone to deliver something again.
This time there was no letter, and the person who came was Xiao Ba.
Xiao Ba returned to the capital as if he were home. After greeting the guards, he started talking to himself, "The village head made clothes, shoes and socks for you and asked me to send them over for you to try on to see if they fit you well."
As he spoke, he brought up a box of clothes.
Jing Wei twisted the jade pendant at his waist and asked casually, "Did the village chief make this himself?"
Xiao Ba grinned and said, "Yes, I was watching right next to the village chief when he was doing it. How could this be false?"
Jing Wei didn't try on the clothes, shoes, socks, etc. He just took a look and said they were suitable. Xiao Ba then went to report to Cui Qingyi.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Jing Wei got up and took the box from the bedside. Looking at the fine stitches on the snow-white lingerie inside, his thoughts gradually drifted away.
He remembered that his mother was like this when he was young, sitting under the lamp and sewing clothes and shoes for a person who would never come back. After she died, the clothes, shoes and socks belonging to that person filled a box. He knelt down and burned them for a long time before they were all burned.
He couldn't understand it at that time, but now looking at the thing in his hand, he seemed to suddenly understand what his mother was thinking back then.
......
Seeing that Cui Qingyi was finally willing to devote some of her attention to her future husband, Aunt Cui finally felt relieved.
When Konjac came to visit with her child in her arms, she saw Cui Qingyi holding a purse that was clearly for men. Her eyes widened, and then she smiled, "Qiao Yishi and I were worried, but now it seems we were worrying for nothing."
Although Konjac had given birth and was in confinement, no one in the world dared to say anything about her concern for Cui Qingyi.
Her daughter's behavior in the past month or two did not look like a bride-to-be. At first, she could tell herself that her daughter had been married once after all, and the wedding was like that, so the girl must still have some trauma in her heart.
But as the wedding date approached, even Qiao Yishi noticed something was amiss. This was the first time Qiao Yishi had mentioned the girl in front of her. "The village chief doesn't look like he's aiming for a good life."
Konjac could understand that from Qiao Yishi's perspective, a man willing to marry into a woman's family was making a huge sacrifice. Naturally, from Jing Wei's perspective, he felt that his daughter had done something wrong.
But when she thought about what the girl had told her before they got married, Konjac felt more and more that something was not right. The girl obviously knew everything, but she didn't pay any attention to her own affairs.
But before she could say anything, the girl suddenly understood.
Cui Qingyi smiled, her hands moving constantly. She had now figured it out. People can never prejudge happiness or misfortune in the present moment. Her previous behavior seemed free and easy, but it was actually an extremely irresponsible behavior.
Everything she did was always based on the idea that this relationship would not last long, but she ignored the fact that a relationship that is not managed with care will eventually fall apart.
It would be self-deception to talk about love nowadays, but they are about to become a family. She will try her best to do what she should do, and leave the rest to time.
