People will always gamble their whole lives for a little kindness in their youth, but when they are old, they will regret it.
From childhood sweethearts to hating each other in the end, from swearing to never seeing each other again!
Love and friendship are as valuable as gold but are the easiest to change!
It’s not that Qiao Xin is too pessimistic. Men of this era are filial to their parents, loyal to their brothers, and loyal to their kings, but they completely ignore their wives.
Which man has not said to his bride on his wedding night: I will treat you well!
But the result is that some people start sleeping with their maids and concubines during their honeymoon period!
Those with a little conscience can persist for three to five years wholeheartedly.
Qiao Xin has been in this world for so many years, but she has not seen many couples who have lived together till old age.
But she couldn't pass on her pessimistic view of marriage to her granddaughter. She was not the third lady and couldn't make rash decisions about her life.
Maybe Shi Jingmo is the destiny she has been waiting for?
"The Shangsi Festival is coming soon. The Third Lady will hold a regular flower-viewing event in Yunxi Town. The young general might as well ask my granddaughter what she thinks on that day!"
Shi Jingmo was immediately overjoyed. The old lady agreed to let him meet the Third Lady!
The Shangsi Festival was the day when men and women of the Dajing State went out to see each other, and it was a perfectly legitimate reason for them to make an appointment to go on an outing together.
"Thank you, old lady, for your help!"
"Don't thank me yet. Let me be frank. If Miss San rejects you, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with you. She just thinks we are not suitable for each other. I hope you won't get stuck in a rut!"
Shi Jingmo immediately understood what Qiao Xin meant. She was afraid that Qiao Xin would do something extreme if his plan failed.
"Junior understands, thank you old lady!"
When only Qiao Xin and Qiao Yunqing were in the main hall, Qiao Xin asked the second brother why he came with the other party and whether he thought so highly of Shi Jingmo?
"This young man is good enough and worthy of Sanniang. The key is that even if he has other members of his clan alive, their relationship with him is very weak and will not interfere with Sanniang's married life!"
"It's because he's so outstanding that I'm afraid that Third Lady will suffer a loss!"
"Mother, you are too concerned. The Third Lady is far better than we thought. Look at how well she manages Xihua County now. Her skills are as good as any other man's!"
When Qiao Yunqing reached this point, he lowered his voice.
"The main thing is that the Third Lady can't wait any longer. Many people in the royal family have started to eye her. If she doesn't get engaged soon, she might end up in the backyard of some prince!"
His daughter showed talent that far surpassed that of the noble ladies in the capital.
She can make money, manage the household, has a good family background, and is good-looking. She is simply the standard candidate for the clan's head wife.
Even if one has a divorced mother, it is not a problem at all in the eyes of those wealthy families who are particular about marrying a virtuous wife.
If the old mother hadn't provided Sanniang with enough guards, maids, and old women, she would probably have a romantic encounter every time she went out!
Qiao Xin curled her lips and said indifferently: "Don't try to trick me, but I think those who came to propose marriage are not that good!"
Qiao Yunqing laughed out loud: "Don't you know what you are nitpicking about? You despise the fact that someone has concubines before they get married. Isn't this a common thing in any wealthy family? It's not uncommon for illegitimate sons and daughters to be born."
"I don't care. If my innocent granddaughter marries a dirty guy who has been played with by other women several times, I will feel so sorry for her!
Even if you want to take a concubine, you should wait until our third wife gives birth to the first son before considering it!"
“What difference does it make?”
"There's a huge difference. I can't explain it to you. You're her father, why don't you fight for your daughter at all?"
Qiao Yunqing: Aren't you choosing a son-in-law? How can you blame him? The old mother wouldn't listen to any advice, so Qiao Yunqing had to swallow what he had to say!
The weather is fresh on March 3rd, and there are many beautiful women by the Mohe River.
Xu started busying herself early in the morning. The jewelry, clothes and jade ornaments that she had hoarded for many years finally came in handy.
The young men of the Qiao family felt hopeless and followed Xu's orders as the servants around her tortured them.
A Niang (eldest aunt) wanted to dress them up as the most handsome men in the capital and go out in such a fancy way.
My grandmother, on the other hand, just sat there drinking tea and watching the fun without trying to stop it. It was obvious that she was enjoying it as well.
When Xu was still applying powder to the young men, Qiao Dalang finally couldn't help but protest!
"Mother, no no no, this is enough, no need to apply powder!
If my son were to go out with powder on his face and be seen by his soldiers, how would he be able to lead the army in the future? "
Upon hearing this, Xu withdrew her hand with regret and let them go.
Keren did not forget to threaten her son: "There are so many girls on Shangsi Festival. If you can't find a satisfactory one, you can't enter this house!"
Qiao Dalang and his brothers suddenly felt under tremendous pressure and their scalps started to tighten!
There is no guarantee that they can complete this task!
After sending the young man out of the house, Xu asked about the whereabouts of the second and third wives!
Nanny Qin reported back, "The Second Lady hasn't left yet, but Master Guan is already waiting. The Third Lady is still in the mansion, and there's no movement at all!"
Qiao Xin looked at her and said, "Let the children decide whether to go out today. How about letting the eldest take you out for a walk?"
Xu's face turned red when Qiao Xin teased her: "Mother, how old am I? How can I be like a young person?"
Qiao Xin disagreed: "What's the big deal? Look at the third brother and his wife, they went out for a stroll together early in the morning!
Nanny Qin, go and ask the master if he has gone out. If not, ask him to put aside his work and accompany his wife to visit the capital!"
Xu didn't expect her mother-in-law to take her word for it and actually send someone to look for her husband.
She felt both embarrassed and excited. She had lived in Beijing for so many years, but she had never really visited it many times!
Qiao Yunxin arrived very quickly. After listening to Qiao Xin's instructions, he smiled and agreed.
"Then my son should take his wife out for a walk. She is so busy on weekdays that she really doesn't have time to go to the delicious and fun places in Beijing!"
Qiao Xin was in a very good mood when she saw him getting on the right track.
"Did you hear me? Why don't you take your wife to change her clothes? Nanny Qin, go back and get five hundred taels of silver for me, and I'll cover their expenses for today! If they like anything but don't have enough money, come back and ask Nanny Qin to reimburse them!"
Xu quickly waved her hand to refuse: "Mom, we have our own money!"
"That's different. I dare not refuse a gift from an elder. This is my reward to you!"
Xu was so happy that she reached out and touched Qiao Xin's face, giving her a big bow.
"Thank you, mother. The daughter-in-law is busy now!"
"Go, go, go out and have fun, don't think about anything. I'll stay at home for you today, you can go home when you have had enough fun!
Boss, find a few more places to take your wife to see!"
"Why!"
