There is no phoenix

Seeing that Daiyu and Tanchun were surprised by her words, Xichun hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister Lin, sister three, don't worry about what I say. Anyway, I can say whatever I want, and I will do whatever I want." What to do, I like to follow my own temperament, not afraid of offending others. However, I don't want you to be like me. I only hope that you two can find two outstanding brothers-in-law in the future!"

Daiyu Tanchun couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

Daiyu said: "Fourth sister, it's enough if you don't speak, your words are astonishing. If I get your good words and marry such a good brother-in-law as you said, I will be a matchmaker for you and ask your brother-in-law to help you find a good brother-in-law." Brother-in-law."

Tanchun laughed and said, "We said this behind our backs. If the old lady and the wife knew about it, they wouldn't scold us to death, saying that we are not shy and dare to talk about getting married."

Xichun said: "The last time I saw Zhizhi'er, she said that her master would take her to Gusu, which made me so envious. Sister Lin, sister three, let me tell you, maybe one day, I will really cut my hair and go to be my sister-in-law." .I don't want to marry."

Tanchun asked: "Fourth sister, I still don't understand, that smart child is many years older than you, why do you like to play together? What kind of supernatural power does she have? Fourth sister, tell me."

Xichun said: "Third Sister, Sister Lin, don't think that Zhizhi'er is not tall, what I like is her temperament. Zhizhi'er is also a poor person. She has no parents since she was a child, and was sent to a nunnery by her relatives, so she is helpless. She is a monk. She has always wanted to return to vulgarity since she was sensible. She liked Qin Zhong at first, thinking that Qin Zhong could save her from the sea of ​​suffering, but she did not expect that Qin Zhong died early. She said that in all these years, she has never met anyone as good as Qin Zhong , so her heart is weak, and she doesn't want to go back to the vulgar. Think about it, she was just a little nun a few years ago, she liked Qin Zhong boldly, and she was not afraid of being laughed at. I watch Qin Zhong at home, so I like her personality!"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Fourth sister, you don't have to praise Smarter, you are such a person now. You are usually quiet, but now you speak like a chivalrous woman. I don't think my brother-in-law in the future, I'm afraid It’s not easy either.”

Xichun smiled and said: "There is no way, I have such a temperament, no one likes me, I don't want to marry yet. I don't believe that people are bullied by others, but Sister Lin and Sister San are willing to be bullied by others." ?”

Tanchun said: "Fourth sister, what you said is reasonable, but for a girl like us, it's hard to do it. For example, if we help you get married, do you dare to say that you don't want to? We How can you know whether the person you are betrothed to is really good or bad if you can't see anyone outside?"

Xichun said: "I don't care about other people. Anyway, I will never agree to get engaged to someone I don't know or meet, unless everyone in the capital says that this person is good."

Daiyu laughed and said, "If the fourth sister wants to say this, I'm afraid there is no such person in the capital as you said, so what should you do?"

Xichun said: "What can I do, I just don't want to marry. If I can twist my hair and be a sister-in-law, I wish for it!"

Seeing that Xichun spoke seriously, Daiyu also asked seriously: "Fourth sister, you don't really think so, do you?"

Xichun said: "Sister Lin, I really think so. If anyone forces me, I can do anything!"

Tanchun hurriedly said: "Fourth sister, you don't really want to learn wisdom and Miaoyu, do you?"

Xichun said: "I want to become a monk, and I must be more devout than the two of them."

Daiyu hurriedly laughed and said, "Fourth sister, don't think that way. You said just now that Zhizhi and Miaoyu both have difficulties in becoming monks. If you become a monk, who will marry such a good brother-in-law as you mentioned in the future?"

Xichun slapped Daiyu hard and said, "Sister Lin, you are the only one who always teases me. I hope the old lady will find you a brother-in-law first, and marry you first, that's the right thing to do."

After hearing this, Daiyu recalled what Jiamu said, and sighed: "Third sister, fourth sister, girl Yun is getting married, and Baoqin is getting married too. They are both the same age as you. Let me ask you, the old lady has Didn't I ask you about your marriage?"

Tanchun said: "I didn't ask, but, several times when the official media came to the house, my wife asked me to go out. I don't know what they planned. I was worried. Sister Lin, did the old lady ask you? "

Daiyu said: "I'm not going to hide it from you two. My grandmother talked to me and asked me if I would like to set it up with Sister Bao to Baoyu. I said I would not."

Xichun asked in surprise, "Sister Lin, the old lady asked you to marry Brother Bao together with Sister Bao?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "Yes, I told my grandmother that my father had told me that he must never be petty with others, nor should he be married to others. He said that he would rather marry an ordinary family."

Tanchun said: "I think so too. Look at what kind of life I and Huan'er are living. Sandwiched between my wife and my aunt, I have to put a lot of thought into everything I do. Don't be scolded, do it. It's a matter of course, and you may be scolded. In short, there are no people inside and outside. Huan'er and Baoyu's brother were born, and their identities have been determined. Looking at the attitudes of the people towards them, it is impossible for me to regard Huan'er as a Like Baoyu, how can you say that Huaner is good?"

Daiyu sighed: "Everyone will have their own troubles. Look at me, I am an orphan girl with no parents, brothers and sisters. Is there any man who doesn't care about his family background at all and won't marry a concubine? Who else? Can you really only love one woman in your life? I'm afraid only those poor people can."

After hearing this, Xichun hurriedly asked, "Sister Lin, will you really return to Gusu after the Chinese New Year?"

Daiyu said: "I must go back to Gusu. I haven't been back to Gusu for many years, and I should go back to offer incense to my grandparents and my parents and burn paper money. My father told me that when I was two years old At that time, my grandfather often said to my father and mother that the daughter’s family should not be underestimated, but should be taught well. He also said that the daughter’s family can also be the top door. I think about these words now, although I don’t remember my grandfather’s appearance at all, but I just feel very gracious.”

Tanchun said: "Is it beautiful? My hometown is full of water. Just like our home, I hate that many people and many things are bad in this place, but if you want to tell the truth and leave it alone, go outside and say it's bad, I can't do it!"

Xichun said: "Me too. I only said it in front of the few of us, and I wouldn't say it outside."

Daiyu suddenly asked: "Third sister, fourth sister, do you think, for us girls, is having a child as important as getting married?"

After hearing this, Tanchun Xichun was a little surprised and asked, "Why is Sister Lin talking about having a baby?"

Daiyu said: "Third sister, fourth sister, if it is said that a woman has never had a child, will the husband treat her as well as before?"

Tanchun said: "Who married and never had children?"

Xichun said: "Third Sister, you didn't understand what Sister Lin said. Sister Lin said that if a man likes his wife very much at first, but later his wife can't have children, will this man change his mind?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I asked."

Tanchun said: "Is there such a thing? I think there are very few, hardly one in a hundred. Most women will have children after a few years after they get married."

Xichun said: "I think it should be quite a lot. You see, in our mansion, the eldest wife has never had a child? My sister-in-law has never had a child, and Aunt Zhou, by the way, the eldest sister has never had a child in the palace. ?”

Daiyu said: "It's no wonder that men from rich families generally marry several. I've never heard of a man from a rich family marrying only one, except for General Feng, the general of Shenwu."

Tanchun Xichun asked with some disbelief: "Sister Lin, what you said is true? General Shenwu really doesn't have an aunt? And no one in the house?"

Daiyu said: "Madam Feng brought Mei Qing to the Feng residence. What Mei Qing said is true, the three sons of the Feng residence were all born to Madam Feng alone. Old General Feng never used maids, except Madam Feng The waiter is Zhang Yu, old general Feng's confidant."

Tanchun said: "If there is a man like Old General Feng, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find another man in the whole capital!"

Daiyu said: "Mei Qing said that although Old General Feng is a general, he is good to Mrs. Feng, as well as to his servants. She also heard from people in Feng's residence that when Old General Feng accompanied Taizu on his southern tour and met Mrs. Feng, I liked it. Later, General Feng's parents urged him to get married, but General Feng refused, so he said he wanted to marry a girl from the Feng family in Jinling. The same was true for Mrs. Feng. Everyone in the family told her that General Feng was just an old lady. A martial artist who is illiterate, but Mrs. Feng who is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, said that she only wants to marry Old General Feng, otherwise she will never marry for the rest of her life. After going through this for a year or two, in the end the adults couldn't make it through, and the emperor came forward to give her a marriage. That's it."

After hearing this, Xichun sighed in admiration: "To be a woman, you must be like Mrs. Feng, and to be a man, you must be like Old General Feng. Men and women who are always on the go are not good!"

Tan Chun said: "I believe there are many women like Mrs. Feng, but how many men are like Old General Feng?"
