    Daohua has always been very resistant to getting married.

    Even though she has lived in ancient times for more than ten years and is already accustomed to and familiar with the rules of this era, some concepts are still unacceptable.

    In ancient times, marriages were based on the orders of the parents and the matchmaker. The most important thing was the exchange of well-matched families and family interests. Whether the man and the woman had feelings for each other was not considered at all.

    ¡°When many people get married, they may not even meet them in person.

    Daohua couldn't help but shudder at the thought of living with a complete stranger for most of her life.

    In these ancient times, people who doted on their children a little would only allow the man and woman to meet each other when they were talking about marriage. What kind of harmonious outlook and congenial temperament she wanted to pursue was simply a daydream.

    ¡°Moreover, she has no dedication. It is impossible for her to discipline concubines and educate concubine children for the sake of her so-called husband.

    Not to mention, there is the unavoidable relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

    How can she live a successful married life like this?

    Fifteen-year-old cousin Zixuan has already started dating. She is 12 this year. Doesn¡¯t that mean that in three years, she will also face such a situation?

    In modern times, marriage is independent. People can choose to marry later, choose the partner to marry, or choose to live alone. But in ancient times, if she dared to say that she did not want to get married, even Mrs. Yan, who doted on her the most, would jump out and strongly object.

    Daohua became irritable, a little confused and uneasy about her future life. She didn't want to compromise, but she didn't know where the exit was.

    Beside, Mrs. Li was still chattering. Suddenly she glanced around and found that her daughter was distracted. She felt helpless: "Are you listening to my mother?"

    Daohua turned her head and nodded blankly.

    Seeing this, Mrs. Li had a headache. She found that every time she mentioned something like marriage, her daughter would look like she was out of touch. She was not at all like other little girls, who either shyly avoided questions or showed off their emotions.  Her daughter was afraid to avoid looking forward to the future.

    ¡°Hey, my daughter is still young, so let¡¯s talk slowly in the future.

    Daohua then asked: "Mom, is cousin Zixuan going to get married next year?"

    Mrs. Li smiled: "Not so fast. Your second uncle and second aunt are people who love children. It will probably take a long time to get to know each other. After you have settled on a family, you have to go through six rituals, at least one or two.  You can¡¯t go out until next year.¡±

    Daohua looked slightly relaxed: "You must let your second uncle and second aunt see each other well. Don't make mistakes with the wrong person."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off

    Although it is possible to reconcile in this era, the procedures are very cumbersome, and even if the divorce is successful in the end, the woman will have a bad reputation, which will not only make it difficult to remarry, but will also bring harm to the family.

    Seeing her daughter¡¯s sad look, Mrs. Li laughed a little: ¡°Your second uncle is so smart, why do you need a girl like you to worry about him?¡±

    Daohua sighed, her second uncle was shrewd, but how could he tell such a thing clearly when looking at people?

    After being silent for a while, Daohua said again: "I have invited my two cousins ??to play at home before, but neither my eldest aunt nor my second aunt agreed. This time I agreed to let the two cousins ??stay at our house for a period of time because of cousin Zixuan.  We¡¯re getting engaged, right?¡±

    Mrs. Li nodded: "Your eldest uncle and second uncle are afraid of causing trouble to mother, and this time they also want your cousin Zixuan to have a good time before going out. After all, you won't have such freedom after getting married.  "

    Daohua pondered for a moment: "You asked me to bring my two cousins ??to the party. Do you want the ladies from all the families to see each other?"

    Mrs. Li shook her head: "Your second uncle and the others are self-aware. They know that official families look down on businessmen. They attend various gatherings just to let your two cousins ??see more of the world, so that they won't be troubled when they meet officials' wives in the future.  Stage fright and jokes.¡±

    Daohua nodded: "I understand. However, I still won't go to the Zhu family. Zhu Xiuyun and I really have nothing to say. Anyway, the end of the year is coming soon, and there will be many gatherings in various families. At that time, I will bring two more  A cousin, please come over."

    Mrs. Li didn¡¯t say much. For them, the Zhu family only needs to be able to live up to their expectations. There is really no need to wrong their daughter.

    ?¡­

    Since receiving Mrs. Li¡¯s instructions, Daohua has almost every family gathering at the end of the year.I went there and took my two cousins ??with me to shuttle between the ladies of various houses.

    No matter what you think privately, everyone is in harmony on the surface.

    Even if they occasionally encounter someone who makes sarcastic remarks, Li Zixuan and Li Zixin can take it lightly. They know in their hearts that it is difficult for them to really make friends with these ladies from official and aristocratic families.

    Daohua didn¡¯t interfere much with the Li sisters¡¯ social interactions. After introducing people to them, she often let them move around freely.

    ¡°Whether it¡¯s being looked down upon or ridiculed by others, it¡¯s not a bad thing if you experience these things frequently.

    Only by having a strong heart can you calmly deal with everything that happens in life.

    Zhou Jingwan saw Daohua sitting alone in the pavilion drinking tea. She walked in with a smile. She looked at the Li sisters joking with other ladies in the garden and said with a smile: "You are cruel, and you are not afraid of your two cousins ??being bullied."  .¡±

    Daohua smiled faintly: "Your family holds a banquet, and the guests are all aristocratic families. These families value reputation most, and they must be strict about the upbringing of their children."

    As he said that, he looked at the girls in the garden.

    "Even if those girls have any thoughts in their hearts, they won't show it on their faces. They know clearly that the two cousins ??are my relatives, so they won't be too embarrassed."

    Zhou Jingwan laughed immediately: "You have a clear mind. Nowadays, the aristocratic families in Xingzhou City have to give your father some face."

    We all know that Mr. Yan will go to Beijing to report on his work at the beginning of next year. Who would not give face to the Yan family at this time?

    "By the way, my brother wrote back and said that the academy has a holiday on the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month this year. He also said that the Laba porridge you sent was delicious, but the quantity was a bit small, which made Brother Su call you partial."

    Daohua was puzzled: "Why am I biased?"

    Zhou Jingwan: "Of course you are partial to the young prince. My brother and the others were given a bowl of Laba porridge, and the young prince had a big bowl each. Naturally, they couldn't stand it."

    Daohua was speechless: "It's just a little bit of food. You're so grown up, and you still fight for things." She didn't take this matter to heart at all.

    Zhou Jingwan also feels the same way: "That's right. Our daughter's family usually fights for food and clothing. If a man does this, he will be a bit petty."

    Daohua agreed with her face: "Isn't it? Brother Su is the same. He always likes to compare with Xiao Yeyang. My relationship with Xiao Yeyang is better than others. What's wrong if I give him something more? Who else can do it?  There is no close relative!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
