My father has a high opinion of Mr. He, so why can't I... Meng Junran was puzzled.
"I've explained the reason to you before, but unfortunately you're stubborn and won't understand. So today, I'll explain it more clearly. There are so many talented people in this world, and it's impossible for me to bring every young talent back as a son-in-law. But you are my most proud daughter, more talented than your brothers. You deserve to marry into a noble family, become the matriarch of a clan, and become a legend."
Meng Junran was desperate. She worked hard to make herself comparable to all the men in the world, but was it just to get a higher-class marriage?
How sad it is that I can't even be with the one I love.
"As the only son of a widowed mother in the Zhang family, you have been raised with great respect and honor by us since childhood. Now that you are in the Zhang family, you will have to do everything yourself. Not only will the number of servants be drastically reduced, but you will also have to personally serve your difficult mother-in-law. If you show any resistance, you will be labeled as unfilial. Your life will be difficult, and you will also bring trouble to the other girls in the Meng Mansion."
"He Langjun will stand by me, and Aunt Zhang raised He Langjun all by herself. She has a loving mother's heart, so I should be filial to her."
Alas, Meng's father felt that it was not good for a girl to only read books of sages, so he had to hand her over to her mother for careful teaching, so that she would not suffer any loss when she went to her husband's family in the future.
From that day on, Meng Junran accompanied several sisters-in-law to serve in Meng Mu's room every day.
She has to do whatever her sisters-in-law do.
Commonly known as setting rules.
There were no such strict rules in the family. After all, to raise a girl as brave as Meng Junran, her parents were considered extremely open-minded and rare.
But in order to allow Meng Junran to grow up quickly and survive in the backyard, he had to do this cruelly.
It just made the daughters-in-law suffer. They had to get up before dawn every day to serve their mother-in-law, and could not go home until her mother-in-law went to bed at night.
Meng Junran could hold on for the first few days, but later on it became increasingly difficult, especially since she had a second sister-in-law who was pregnant. She joined them for a while and then was sent back.
But Meng Junran knew that this was because her mother loved her daughter-in-law and grandchildren. But if she met a difficult one, it was possible that she would also torture the child in her belly.
But in order to prove her determination to her father, even though she thought such a test was ridiculous and boring, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
This persistence lasted until Zhang Shuhe was on the list and returned home in glory, then he asked a matchmaker to come and propose marriage.
Meng Junran was resolute in his attitude, and Zhang Shuhe was indeed a young talent.
Father Meng no longer insisted. The son is no longer under the control of the mother. No matter how many reasons he explained, the child's mind was still filled with love.
Is it about having enough food to eat or being able to shelter from the wind and rain?
Their generation probably cannot understand what these young people are thinking.
What a coincidence, Baili Xia and Xu Changsheng’s wedding date is the same day as Zhang Shuhe and Meng Junran’s wedding date.
Maybe everything was auspicious that day, especially for getting married.
Baili's parents were very satisfied with their daughter-in-law. After all, her father-in-law was the principal of Xiangshan Academy. A girl from a scholarly family must be good, although there were few talented people outside.
From now on, the responsibility of urging Baili Xia to make progress will naturally fall on Xu Changsheng, not to mention that this is the wife that Baili Xia asked for himself.
In fact, Baili Xia had planned to settle down, follow his family's arrangements, and do some serious work after getting married, so as not to be looked down upon by Changsheng.
After all, this man, who was known for his perseverance in studying, was a true king of examinations, and the reputation of Xiangshan Academy in the country became even greater than before.
If I hadn't been so rude to him that night, and he happened to be a very principled man, he would definitely not have been able to marry me a young mistress.
However, after marriage, Xu Changsheng not only did not make any demands on him as a husband, but instead ordered him to take her out for fun.
It was totally unexpected.
Baili's parents: ...What's going on? So the Meng family girl is more suitable?
Baili Xia is an excellent player who knows how to enjoy and have fun. Changsheng will definitely have a good time and eat well if he follows him.
From that day on, the Baili family had two playboys.
For three consecutive months, it dominated all the gossip in and outside the city.
In contrast, after Zhang Shuhe got married, he hurried to take up his post. He originally thought that he could take his new wife with him. After all, they were newlyweds, and the couple had the strongest feelings for each other.
Unfortunately, Zhang's mother caught a cold and needed someone to take care of her.
It would definitely not be possible to leave only the servants behind. Zhang Shuhe had to be on duty, so naturally he couldn't stay at home to look after the family. Only the bride, Meng Junran, was the most suitable candidate.
Moreover, being filial to one's mother-in-law is the standard of a good wife and can also help improve one's reputation.
The wife's good reputation also benefited her husband Zhang Shuhe's career.
The poor couple, just a few days after being reunited, had to separate and suffer from the pain of missing each other.
Meng Junran felt sad, but he still had to cheer up and take care of his mother-in-law and household chores.
Regardless of the inner situation, Zhang Meng's reputation for virtue gradually spread among the neighbors.
Although Zhang's mother wanted to establish her authority, seeing that the girl from the Meng family was not pretentious and could serve her the spittoon and toilet paper without changing her expression, she gradually began to treat the girl from the Meng family with some sincerity.
I just hope that she is already pregnant with her beloved son. In order to have more children in the family, she should give birth to a few more so that they can support each other.
The scene that Meng Junran thought he would have after marriage, where he would be with his lover under the moonlight, wishing they would be together all the time, did not happen.
Perhaps this is the helplessness between ideals and reality.
She knew that her husband didn't want to be separated from her, but reality often created many obstacles, as if to test the loyalty of their love.
