"In our ancient times, marriage was based on the orders of parents and the words of matchmaking, and the son could choose which young lady he wanted, and as long as the young lady's parents agreed, the young lady herself did not have much choice. Please remember the URL of this site: . Our Miss Wan'er's marriage is a big deal, of course, you have to listen to the master! ”

"In this way, then I will not become a pork on the board, at the mercy of your lord and wife?"

"It won't be as tragic as you said, don't worry, for the happiness of the young lady, our lord and lady will definitely choose a husband who is the right family for you and is the same age as you. There will never be a man who does not match your age, appearance and appearance as you would in your dreams. The lords and wives of our ancient rich and noble families had their own set of standards for choosing a son-in-law for their daughters in the house, whether the family was innocent and prominent, whether it was easy to get along with and whether it was knowledgeable. down to the way of receiving people and things, getting along with people, and word of mouth, whether he is a playboy or something. ”

"Then what does your ancient son look like? Are they all as tall, handsome and personable as they are on TV? ”

"This, the eyes of individuals are different, and the eyes of appreciation for people are also different. If the young lady wants to know the appearance and appearance of our ancient son, it is an excellent opportunity to go to the temple fair tonight to watch the lanterns and admire the moon. Because, every year the Mid-Autumn Festival temple fair will hold a grand event, when many sons and daughters of rich and noble families will appear at the temple fair. In fact, the temple fair provided an opportunity for the sons and ladies of our ancient rich families to meet and exchange tokens in private and agree for life. ”

"Aren't they incapable of calling the shots themselves? How can you make a private decision for life? Ouyang Xin asked puzzled.

"This young lady doesn't know, at the temple fair, which family's son is lucky enough to fall in love with which lady, he will go over to ask which family's daughter? When he went back, he discussed with his parents, and then asked the matchmaker to go to the house to propose marriage. After some sons and young ladies met at the temple fair, both parties were more satisfied, so they secretly exchanged tokens and agreed for life. However, there are also many who have not succeeded, so they can only sigh about fate. ”

"Then, if the woman falls in love with the man, does the woman's family have to go to the man to propose?"

"Miss, in ancient times, we didn't have the saying and practice of a woman taking the initiative to propose marriage to a man, so I'm afraid that this young lady will not be able to raise her head and be a person in the future. The man must go to the woman's house to propose, so that is the right thing to do. Even though the young lady of that family was very satisfied with the son who was going to be married to that family, she couldn't show it in front of outsiders. ”

"Is there anything else like this? If the person who comes to propose marriage, the lady likes it very much, and the lord and the lady don't like it, then it can't be done? ”

"Yes, when the son goes to the house to propose, he must prepare a generous gift, and if the woman's parents accept it, it means that the marriage is going to be completed. If it refuses, it means that the lord and the lady do not agree to the marriage. ”

"We modern blind dates are carried out face-to-face with both men and women and their parents. Roughly speaking, the two parties agree on a place, have a meal, drink coffee or something, and then get to know each other, each other's family status, income, work and other things. Next, whether to continue dating or not depends on the intention of both men and women. If the two of them date privately after they get along, they no longer need both parents to come forward. We are in love freely in modern times, and sometimes we find the object we like and take it home to our parents, and it is okay if our parents are satisfied. If you meet your parents who are not satisfied, as long as the two people fall in love with each other, they can also be together. ”

"What a wonderful thing it would be to be able to be with someone you like? However, the fate of our ancient women was in the hands of authority, and those of us who were girls may be lonely all our lives. We don't have the power to choose or even touch marriage. Because, our parents sold us, including our happiness. We will be slaves for the rest of our lives, and we will serve in this Shangguan Mansion for the rest of our lives. ”

"Xiaocui, do you have a sweetheart?" Hearing Xiao Cui say this, Ouyang Xinyu suddenly sympathized with the fate of the poor people in ancient times, and she asked Xiao Cui so casually.

"Miss said that it was a joke, how can people with humble status like us have the right to like others?"

"Then don't you ancient maids and men never get married?"

"It's not, like Sister-in-law Gui and the housekeeper are a husband and wife, their marriage wine was held in the Shangguan Mansion, or did the lord and his wife personally host it for them!"

"That's it, if Xiaocui also has someone she likes one day, you can also tell the lord and the lady that the lord and the lady are so good, they will definitely marry you."

"Miss, forget it, you must not mention these things to the lord and the lady, Xiaocui has to wait by the side of the young lady and wait for the young lady all her life."

"Then you, are you ready not to marry for the rest of your life? What is the point of living like this? ”

"This is the fate of Xiao Cui, the arrangement of the fate of Xiao Cui's audience! If it is necessary to change, who has the power to change the fate of people? Xiaocui doesn't have that ambition, and she doesn't want to do that! ”

Ouyang Xinyu can understand what Xiao Cui said, in ancient times, the status of a woman was humble, and resisting would only make her life more difficult. Who doesn't want to do whatever they want? However, due to the limitations of the times, who can really do what they want in this backward era? I'm afraid that only the current emperor can do it!

"Xiaocui, tonight's temple fair, can we not go to the temple fair and go somewhere else?" Speaking of which, they are all sad topics, which will only make people's feelings more depressed. So, Ouyang Xinyu diverted the topic.

"Miss, Cui knows what you're thinking. The night is dark and windy, you can't do that, even if Xiao Cui doesn't say it, the lord and the lady will definitely know, if they blame it, it won't be as simple as grounding in the future, Xiao Cui will be killed! ”

"Then if I don't go out to find clues and find out the truth of the matter, will I be imprisoned in this Shangguan Mansion for the rest of my life, and I will never be able to go back, I will get married and have children here, and I will die until I die?"

"Miss, I can understand your feelings, but you listen to me, since I promised you, I will definitely help you, you have to believe Xiaocui!"

"Xiaocui, let me ask you something, you have to tell me the truth."

"Okay, just ask, Miss, Xiao Cui will tell the truth."

"You said you believed me and promised to help me, is it because your young lady's affairs are related to your life?"

"Yes, it was at first. But Xiaocui didn't lie to you, Xiaocui told the truth, if you insist on telling the truth, Xiaocui won't stop you. It's just that what will be the consequences after you tell the truth? Have you ever thought that no one will believe you at all! She didn't expect Ouyang Xinyu to suddenly ask her such a question, but she hadn't deceived Ouyang Xinyu from the beginning. Therefore, she has nothing to fear and hide.
