The reason why she made an agreement with Fang Congyun to wait until he was in high school was that she didn't want to get married soon after coming here, and secondly, she thought that Fang Congyun went to the capital, won the Jinshi, and saw a lot and experienced a lot.
Are there different options?
Three years will give each other better time and space, and it will be more convenient for her to retreat by then, so it's not a bad idea.
The little girls did not expect that Xu Yinyin had such thoughts, and they were all stunned.
I was just stunned and couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Xu is still smart."
Liu Yinyin couldn't help but wonder, "If he really meets another girl he likes three years later and wants to break off the engagement, what will Sister Xu do?"
Fang Youqin blocked her again, "I told you, Fang Congyun can't do it, why are you holding on to this point, Yinyin?"
"I'm just curious." Liu Yinyin looked at Xu Yinyin and said.
Xu Yinyin took a sip of the warm water and said with a smile: "It's just a break-up or a divorce. I have nothing to fear. It's just living alone. I have money in my hands. I have money and leisure. I enjoy flowers every day.
Tea, no one is in charge, you don’t have to take care of the housework, and manage the back house, it’s called a leisurely life!”
That confident tone and calm demeanor made several girls stunned.
After coming back to his senses, Dong Qinghua hugged Xu Yinyin's arm and said, "Oh! I just said how come I am so close to Sister Xu! It turns out that we both think the same thing!"
She is now being urged by her mother to learn housekeeping, and she is extremely bored every day. She has no patience to learn these things, so she doesn't get married and can eat and drink alone and do whatever she wants. How great?
"You said, I will tell my mother later that she doesn't want me to get married. Just give me the dowry prepared for me, and I will take it out to establish a new family and live alone. How about that?"
Several people:……
Fang Youqin hurriedly said: "Don't think too much. How can this be done? How can there be a girl who doesn't get married? Unless she becomes a nun, do you still want to establish a female household? We have no precedent for this in the Yan Dynasty.
Don’t listen to me half-heartedly, Sister Xu is talking about what to do if you reconcile and divorce, but she doesn’t mean not to get married!”
If you want to live alone, there are many ways.
For example, if you marry a wife and then divorce your husband, it is perfectly fine to establish a female household without remarrying after she is already married.
Another example is marrying someone you can control and then getting divorced. It's the same thing.
If she hadn't met Fang Congyun, that's what she planned. If she didn't get married, she would be criticized by others. Then if she got married, she wouldn't do it.
Well, Dayan treated the widows who observed the virtues very favorably.
But looking at Dong Qinghua's excited expression, she swallowed all these words. It was okay to spoil a child.
"Yes, what I'm saying is that it's good to live like this after we're divorced. If I really meet someone unkind, I won't bear to waste it anyway. I will definitely make peace with you. Naturally, I have to live my life by myself.
The most important thing is to be happy. After reconciliation, how wonderful it would be to be alone and have a brighter future?"
Therefore, girls, please do not be stubborn and waste your life sitting on a tree refusing to come down. You will regret it for the rest of your life.
The girls all looked thoughtful after hearing this.
After a long while, Dong Qinghua clapped his hands and said: "I've decided! If I can't find someone I like when we say goodbye, who is easy to talk to, can chat with me and play together, then I will find someone whose family background is not obvious.
, when the time comes when I am unhappy and want to reconcile, their family will not dare to refuse."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, not laughing at her, but smiling knowingly. The Dong family's parents loved their children so much, and they would not use their daughters to marry or seek benefits for the family like the Wang family did.
Thinking of Wang Ningshuang, everyone felt a little lower. Counting the time, it has been almost two months since Wang Ningshuang entered the palace. I wonder how she is doing now?
Now that she is in the palace, she cannot write to them, and they cannot send letters to her.
…
When the Ghost Festival is here, Yiyang Mansion has the custom of putting out river lanterns to worship the souls of the dead.
On this day every year, the Stork Creek Bridge is very lively, with people on both sides of the bridge and on both sides of the river.
The surface of Stork Creek is filled with various river lanterns, floating down the river.
This year is no exception.
Xu's shop had closed early, and the pig's trotter rice shop was a little less prepared today. As soon as it was sold out, Zhang Xiulan asked Zhang Sanlang to close the shop. Everyone packed up, got off work, and went
Stork Creek Bridge rush.
In their hometown, ancestor worship is also held on this day. Now that they have escaped from the wilderness, the ancestral gravesites have not been moved here, so it is just right to put river lanterns to worship their ancestors.
Therefore, not only the Xu family, but also members of the Zhou family came to the city.
Over the years, we have been accustomed to setting up river lanterns in the Stork River, so over the years, on this day, various vendors will set up their stalls by the river, forming a night market.
People put out river lanterns and people went to the night market, which has become a lively activity.
Zhang Xiulan and Zhang Sanlang squeezed through the crowd and met the others under the agreed bridge. Everyone began to set off the river lanterns.
The river lanterns were all made by themselves. Xu Yinyin's family made several extra ones and quietly put them into the river. This was to offer sacrifices to their deceased relatives in that world.
Old man Xu turned his head and saw the third family putting up one river lantern after another. He couldn't help but squeeze over and said: "As for the ancestors of our family, one person is enough for each person. You can put several river lanterns for each of us."
Too much? Don’t leave this river lantern lying around. Be careful of others taking it away. Take it back quickly, take it back quickly.”
This other person does not refer to a living “other person”.
There are so many lonely ghosts in this world who have no descendants to pay tribute to them, so I wonder where they can go to eat the incense they haven’t received.
There is no need to put too much, each lamp is counted, and when I put it down, I still thought about the ancestors in my heart.
But this cannot be said.
Xu Chunshan said immediately: "It's drifting far away and I can't catch it."
"You, you!" Old Man Xu had an expression on his face: "How old are you and you can't handle this?" He tapped Xu Chunshan with his finger. Looking at the river lanterns that had floated away from the river bank, he could only stare at them.
It’s on.
"Go back and burn some paper for your ancestors, kowtow, and ask your ancestors to bless you."
"Okay, dad." Xu Chunshan responded hurriedly.
There were groups of people gathering by the river to put up river lanterns. It was so crowded that it was so crowded that it was hard to see who was who.
After setting off the river lanterns, those who have finished setting off the river lanterns should quickly leave the riverside to make room for the people behind them. Otherwise, if the people behind them squeeze in, one of them will be accidentally squeezed into the river. That would be very nice.
Old man Xu Zhengqing asked everyone to leave quickly.
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting: "Help! Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
Everyone followed the sound and found that they were not far away from them. From where they stood, they could clearly see the people struggling in the river, as well as the people on the bank shouting and circling in panic.
On a hot day, jumping into the water would not make you freeze to death, but there seemed to be landlubbers around, and no one knew how to swim. Many people shouted to save people quickly, but no one jumped in to save them for a while.
I could only see the man struggling for his life, as if he was about to sink.
As a new young man growing up under the red flag, how can we ignore death and not save him?
Xu Dajun gritted his teeth and was about to jump in to save others.
Xu Yinyin quickly grabbed him and said, "That's a young girl, I'll go."
After that, he dove into the river and swam quickly over there.
