In this era, girls' marriages are different from boys'. Boys are not interested in marriages anymore, and whether it's breaking off an engagement or getting a divorce, at most there will be some fluctuations at the time, but after a year or two, life will not be affected at all.
Even if he is a playboy, when the matchmaker is talking about marriage, he can still compliment him by saying that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold...
But as a girl, if she makes a mistake, she will be completely labeled. People will talk about her wherever she goes. From then on, she will be stained, live a difficult life, and be fragile. Within three to five years, she will die of depression.
Qiao Lingyin looked at Qiao Xin in confusion: "Grandmother, don't you think highly of Xu Shizi?"
Qiao Xin looked at her eldest granddaughter and said, "I don't have much opinion of him personally. Since he can be friends with your eldest brother, he must be a good person.
You just dislike his father for being too fussy and slow in handling household chores. Naturally, you are also afraid that he will be like his father and cause you to suffer in the future.
But Xiaoyao Hou has now divided the family property neatly, so this worry no longer exists. In the future, you will be able to live a much easier life without your mother-in-law suppressing you.
With just these conditions, there are only a few companies in Beijing that meet them. "
Qiao Lingyin was stunned for a moment: "Grandma, is this why you disagree?"
She didn't think having a mother-in-law was a big problem. Most families went through this. Didn't her mother and grandmother get along pretty well? As for the second aunt, it's better not to mention her. Even the third aunt who just came in and the grandmother were very close to each other!
Qiao Xin felt that her granddaughter was thinking too simply, so she was more cautious when she spoke next time.
"Of course. Don't underestimate the influence of the mother-in-law on the young couple. There is no marriage that the mother-in-law can't break up. Nine out of ten couples in Beijing are not getting along because of the mother-in-law's interference!
Daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law are naturally hostile. Imagine if you were a mother-in-law, you gave birth to a son with all your might, raised him with great difficulty, and ended up being taken away by a woman who was already your daughter-in-law. Would this mother-in-law be happy with her daughter-in-law?
Besides, the daughter-in-law is not stupid, of course she will protect her own interests. After all, if the husband always puts the interests of the extended family first, then the one who will be wronged is herself and the children. Not to mention, the mother-in-law can always send you two concubines or cousins ​​to make trouble. How can you live comfortably?
If Xiaoyao Hou had not split up the family, his mother would naturally be superior to you in status, and even the second aunt would be able to bully you by taking advantage of her seniority.
Now that you have separated and are no longer living under the same roof, no matter what they say, you just have to agree with them on the surface, but secretly guard your own door, and live your life as a couple. "
The Qiao Lingyin sisters felt that they had finally opened their eyes!
No wonder Xu Can and Guan Jianze have incomplete parents, but their grandmother doesn’t care at all!
It turns out that life can be lived like this!
Thinking about the situation my grandmother described, it doesn’t seem so bad!
Everyone nodded in agreement!
Qiao Xin asked Qiao Yunxin to pass the message to someone!
When Xu Can learned from his father that the Qiao family agreed to his marriage with Qiao Lingyin, he was so happy that he went crazy!
He packed up some pearls, jade and other jewelry that he had secretly bought for Qiao Lingyin and added them all to the betrothal gift. He also asked Chu Yuan to go out and find out where new jewelry and new fabrics were available, and started the shopping process!
Xiaoyao Hou felt very upset when he saw how crazy his son had become.
This guy can't wait to give all his wealth to the Qiao family before he even gets married. Won't he be completely exploited by his wife once he gets married?
Chu Yuan not only did not stop her, but also gave her some advice: "My Lord, this butterfly hairpin suits the young lady very well, why don't you buy it? The white jade hairpin looks good on the young lady, how about...?"
It's no wonder that Chu Yuan is so disloyal. With this attitude, his young master will definitely be controlled by Miss Qiao in the future, and he won't be able to assert himself as a husband.
Even the prince has to listen to the eldest girl, so don't blame him for trying to please his future mistress in advance.
Guan Jianze received the letter from his grandparents and couldn't sleep most of the night. He ran to the city gate and stood like a fool in the cold wind for several days. Finally, the fire in his heart was calmed down!
No matter what the elders of the two families think, we still have to prepare well.
Before Qiao Xin returned to the capital, betrothal gifts from the Guan and Xu families were brought to her door.
Xu had already received approval from her mother-in-law and had prepared everything long ago. With the help of the third daughter-in-law, she was able to handle everything with ease.
However, the male owner was not at home, so the matchmaker went through the formalities, put down the betrothal gifts, collected the wedding money, sat for a while, and then went back to report.
The Qiao family only agreed to an engagement first, but the subsequent three books and six ceremonies such as proposing a betrothal gift, asking for the name, and accepting the marriage proposal still had to be done step by step.
The proposal of betrothal gift alone would be scheduled for half a year later, and after the six ceremonies, the prince would probably have to wait for two or three years to marry the beauty.
It can be seen that the woman is not in a hurry to go out, and it is not known whether the man is willing to accept this result!
Xu hung her sore arms, missing Qiao Xin terribly.
Now that I have set up my own business, I realize how difficult it is to live in the capital.
Especially the marriages of children in the capital, not to mention the complexity, many things are accumulated when the child is just born. Her family has only been established for a few years, and she has only heard Nanny Qin mention many things, but has never actually seen them.
If it weren't for my mother-in-law...
Xu recalled the two lists that Steward Yu had sent her yesterday. There were a lot of things written on them, and at first glance they were the lists of the woman's dowry.
The above involves treasure barrels for descendants, beds, cloth, fields, cash, farmland, etc., everything you can think of.
Xu burst into tears on the spot. The dowry she and her husband prepared for their child pales in comparison to that prepared by her mother-in-law!
The mother-in-law loves her children so much that she won't let them suffer any injustice!
He heard from Yu Guanshi that the golden nanmu wood used to make the step-out bed was specially found by the caravan from Xishu, Annan and other places by his mother-in-law, and the Niu Dabao brothers led the team to start making it a few years ago! Three granddaughters, everyone has a share!
As a mother, she feels ashamed of herself for her dedication!
Not to mention that Xu was extremely moved, even Wang Caiwei, who had seen a lot of good things, was extremely envious!
The dowry prepared by Qiao Xin for her granddaughter included everything from food, clothing, and daily necessities, and many of the headgear were actually gifts from the emperor.
Caiwei knew that her mother-in-law was good at making money, but this huge fortune was far more substantial than she had imagined.
More importantly, compared to the old lords in other mansions, the mother-in-law does not discriminate against girls, does not calculate her daughter-in-law's dowry, does not calculate her granddaughter's marriage, and is more willing to spend money on future generations!
Wang Caiwei collected her thoughts and heard her eldest sister-in-law Xu impatiently: "Sister-in-law, you see, mother doesn't know the details of such a big matter as the child's engagement. How about we go to Laohu Town to report it?"
Wang Caiwei was stunned for a moment. Didn't she and her husband rush back yesterday? Hadn't she already reported this to her mother-in-law in advance?
But when I saw my sister-in-law anxiously ordering the steward to prepare the horses and she was even unwilling to sit in the carriage, what was there to not understand!
The sister-in-law is eager to meet the mother-in-law!
