Qu Ting looked at the sparkling water patterns in the distance.
He sighed helplessly.
"Actually, the six major families in Yanjing are like six marbles thrown on the same chessboard."
"Sometimes they collide with each other, causing sparks to fly, and sometimes they are actively or passively entangled and tied together to give their opponents a more powerful blow."
"In general, there is both competition and cooperation. For more than a hundred years, there has been more competition and less cooperation. Regardless of whether it is competition or cooperation, there is only one unbreakable bond between them, and that is the two interests.
Character."
"But everyone also understands that cooperation will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms. Therefore, they began to constantly think of ways to make the two sides tightly entwined and deal a blow to the opponent, while ensuring that
What if his collaborator suddenly turned against him and stabbed him in the back, causing him to lose his wife and lose his army? For more than a hundred years, after constant experiments and constant payment of the price, everyone finally reached a common tacit understanding. The only way,
It’s a marriage.”
"Marriage?" Su Che blew out a smoke ring.
"Yes."
Qu Ting said: "The only method is marriage, which is the most effective, longest-lasting and most scrupulous way of cooperation. Those who marry a daughter control the other party's heirs and inheritance, and those who marry a daughter-in-law have the other party's precious daughter as a hostage...
…”
"So you are the one to be sacrificed in the family marriage?"
This kind of drama sounds very far-fetched and bloody. However, what Qu Ting said is the real situation. The world of red lips and white teeth is so shameless and cold-blooded.
"Um."
Qu Ting nodded: "In other words, this is not my fate at all, but the fate of every woman born in a big family... If it is a boy, of course it doesn't matter. After the marriage, he can still go out and have fun, as a real
The second generation of the top rich, casually swaying their fingers from countless small families, the daughter of a famous businessman and wealthy businessman took the initiative to crawl into bed..."
"For girls who are passively married, they will not only destroy their marriage and happiness, but also their own lives."
Su Che asked, "Have you never thought about resisting this bad habit?"
"it's useless."
Qu Ting shook her head: "The engagement was made long ago, and everyone in the world knows it. If you dare to break the contract, whoever breaks the contract will be ignoring the other person's face. You know, in a big family, face is worth more than money.
It’s even more valuable.”
"What's more... the families who marry their daughters are usually high-ranking families, so they can't afford to offend each other. If you have a daughter who is high-ranking, there is no choice to marry down... Therefore, being weak is the original sin."
When she said these things, Qu Ting's eyes were all pale and gloomy.
Su Che could even see Qu Ting's past from this look in her eyes. She must have chosen to resist, resist, and not follow the crowd! She chose to not let her marriage and happiness in her life be affected by this so-called "interest."
"United" and bound.
But in the end, it was to no avail, leading to disappointment again and again, and the disappointment again and again led to the fact that there was no longer any light in her eyes.
At this moment, she was talking about these words and telling these stories, as if she was talking about someone she didn't know, and telling other people's stories.
There was a pause.
Qu Ting said: "If we specifically look at the six major families in Yanjing..."
"Things are even more complicated..."
"Su Che, you must have guessed that I am the youngest daughter of the Qu family, one of the six major families..."
"To be honest, I haven't been married yet, and my father has been extremely tolerant and doting on me. Otherwise, how would I have the time and qualifications to go to Aurous Hill to be a female captain? It all seems like a dream.
thing……"
"As mentioned earlier, among the six major families, three of them have been dominant since the Ming and Qing Dynasties and became officials as businessmen. The alliance between the three families is deeply rooted. They are the real three major old families. The forces are intertwined and intricate, like an old tree.
root."
"And our three emerging families are far inferior to those three established families. They are not even qualified for marriage... On the contrary, the other parties are sparing no effort to eat us..."
"Then, our remaining three emerging families must try their best not to be swallowed up by each other, and not to be divided up by the three established families..."
"Amid internal and external troubles, the only option is to marry each other. This is the simplest, most convenient, funniest, and most lasting way."
Qu Ting made it very clear.
Su Che also understood.
In fact, to put it simply, marriage may not bring much benefit to the family, but if you do not use this method to consolidate your position, it will definitely bring huge disadvantages!
This further shows that women are just victims in this struggle.
Qu Ting is not the first, and certainly not the last.
"call……"
That's it.
Qu Ting took a deep breath.
"The person I am marrying is a historian from the Xinxing family. The person who made the marriage contract is named Shi Fenyang."
Qu Ting frowned frequently when she mentioned this name and said: "Actually, I hate these two people. The second son of the Shi family is very notorious. He is a famous playboy in the capital. Not even a hundred girls have been impregnated by him.
I'm eighty... But what can I do? Ever since I was ignorant, the marriage contract between the two of us has been decided through the jokes of our grandparents and parents. After I became an adult, it was even more so through the words of a matchmaker.
It’s a done deal.”
"I even thought about going there and dying..."
Qu Ting said, with tears flashing in the corners of her eyes: "I once imagined that if I died, this matter would be over. But later I learned that those who are unwilling to marry someone they don't like are the ones who want to marry someone they don't like."
For girls who choose to commit suicide, their families will be angered and their businesses will be hit. In the end, not only will they not end well, but they will also implicate a lot of relatives and suffer the consequences!"
"Su Che, have you ever heard of a kind of wine called Yongfenpear?" At this point, Qu Ting suddenly changed the subject.
"Never heard of it." Su Che shook his head.
"That is to say... in order to make this kind of complete fragrant pear and put it in a wine bottle, people must put it into the bottle as soon as it blooms and sets fruit, and wait for it to grow up inside the bottle.
After the pear grows up, the wine is filled into it and sealed. This forms the never-divided pear wine."
Qu Ting said: "In a sense, a woman born in a noble family is like the pear in the bottle. By the time you realize that you are in the bottle, it is already too late. And if you are
If you want to destroy yourself, you have to destroy this bottle, and this bottle is your family... one will be prosperous, one will be damaged."
