yanzh Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the so-called "five no-marries" have appeared in marriages. It was recorded in Dade's "Da Dai Li Ji Ben Ming" at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Later, someone specifically commented: the widow and the eldest daughter should not marry, without teaching and precepts
also.
If translated in vernacular, it means that if the mother dies early, the girl's family will not have the upbringing of the mother. The girl will not know how to be a wife and mother before she gets married.
This means that after the eldest daughter lost her mother, her value in the marriage market, which was already very miserable, plummeted and she became a defective product that was not favored by everyone.
This is also one of the important reasons why after a man loses his wife, the relatives and friends around him must ask the man to continue the relationship. Anyway, the stepmother is also a mother, so the situation will be better.
In a situation like the original owner's, there is no possibility of making up for the death of both parents. Mr. Li would not be optimistic about his niece's future, so it would be a good idea to serve as a foil for her daughter.
Mrs. Li had planned that when her niece arrived in the future, she would have to be with her daughter, so that she would remember the kindness of the second wife of the Tao family, and she would also have to be courteous to her younger sister.
Mrs. Li had already calculated in her heart that only girls who had studied were valuable, even if her niece was not in good hands in an official family and would not be easy to marry.
But in this world, there are only men who cannot marry a wife, and there are no women who cannot marry. My niece will never die in my own hands.
After Mrs. Li rolled her eyes, she thought about the best way to benefit. If that didn't work, she would marry a businessman and get a sum of money.
Of course, because of Li's own reasons, she didn't plan to let her niece read any history or other miscellaneous books. Smart people can see too much.
Then Mrs. Li plans to ask her niece and the concubine of her second wife to read more serious books on women's precepts, as long as women are alive.
Although the status of merchants is low, the kind of people who want to marry are those who are very rich and like to be arty.
After talking about it, Mrs. Li's eyes were a little bright. A woman from a declining family could definitely be sold at a good price.
Moreover, she thought that Tao Er would not stand up for her niece because her parents had died.
Then the possibility of Li's operation is very good, and it's wonderful to think about it.
Mrs. Li knew very well that Tao Er had a lot of disgust and disgust towards his eldest son.
Then the children who will grow up in the future will be firmly grasped by her.
If you do it well in the future, you can definitely make a lot of money.
This is private money and is owned by her alone.
Hey! This is equivalent to having money for the marriage of your children.
Li now realized something.
Sister-in-law Han's children will listen to her from now on.
This discovery made Mr. Li very happy, it was great.
She has always been jealous of her sister-in-law Han's good luck and happiness.
As both sons of the Tao family, Tao Da is much more capable than Tao Er.
There has always been a monogamy in the big house, and no one can interfere with the couple.
However, Tao Er has always had pets, which makes her feel like it costs a lot more money as a wife.
Even though Dafang and his family later resigned and left the capital, Li was still a little distraught.
The reason why this happened was that Mrs. Han received the love of her husband, which made Mrs. Li jealous.
She wholeheartedly wants to train her children. It is impossible for her husband to train her, but her children can.
The death of Mr. and Mrs. Tao made it possible for her wish to come true. The two boys were still young and might not be able to remember their parents.
Even the eldest lady is not big, so she can try to make them all mediocre people, Ms. Li began to think in her mind.
After thinking clearly, she packaged her thoughts and let Tao Erlang know that her second wife would definitely not lose money if she raised nieces and nephews.
After hearing what his wife said clearly, he felt much better in his heart. Since the matter was a foregone conclusion, he still had to accept it. He felt that he was really good.
So the couple discussed it for a while and decided to give their niece a slap in the face so that she didn't dare to speak. She had to be more obedient when she lived in the second room.
At this moment, they completely ignored that Aunt Liu did not tell who died. From the slaves in the main room who said it was the eldest lady who asked her to come, they inferred that the couple in the main room were dead.
Ling Xiao, who was listening in, curled his lips slightly. The original owner was really unlucky. The so-called second uncle and aunt were not good people. Fortunately, they knew what to do after knowing the situation.
Besides, Xia's mother came back yesterday and told Ling Xiao about the situation she encountered in the second house. She was very lucky that the eldest lady found that the second house was not worth relying on. Otherwise, it would be easy to enter and difficult to get out.
Ling Xiao asked Xia's mother to go down to have a rest and see how the preparations were at the mourning hall. The formal mourning ceremony would begin the next day. They happened to meet at the mourning hall and took the opportunity to suppress the arrogance of the second wife and her husband.
Ling Xiao was not disappointed when she discovered the strange behavior of Tao Erlang's family. She could realize her own ideas by grasping the shortcomings of the two people. Anyway, she would not live with Tao Erlang and his wife, so she naturally waited for the arrival of these two people.
Tao Baozhu, on the other hand, wanted her mother to come, but she waited all day and fell asleep very late after a lot of trouble at night. Even the rooster's crow did not affect her the next day, and she was finally woken up when it was time to eat the morning meal.
, got up with a bit of sleepiness.
Because the official wake will begin today, Cherry ordered people to prepare a lot of food for the morning this time. Because of the mourning period, there were no meat dishes, but the taste was good. Ling Xiao naturally knew that during the mourning period, he could not eat meat.
In order to ensure the nutrition needed by the human body in a short period of time, you can eat some soy products, such as tofu, dried tofu and other foods. These are plant proteins and can be eaten during the period of mourning in the eyes of the ancients.
But as a modern person, Ling Xiao feels that egg milk still needs to be supplemented. We must know that human body development requires protein, and vegetarian protein can supplement part of it, but the human body also needs animal protein.
Forget it, wait until the 100-day hot filial period before adding some animal protein such as egg milk. This is for the benefit of the two children. Ling Xiao is planning in his mind what to do so as not to cause trouble.
Good nutrition in childhood is good for the development of the brain and body in all aspects. Children must pay attention to it, otherwise they will be treated poorly if they follow filial piety.
After dinner, Ling Xiao took several children to the wake. During this period, the three boys were all quite obedient, and Tao Baozhu did not dare to object.
Just when Tao Baozhu was feeling very tormented, Tao Erlang and his wife finally arrived. The couple sat in the car and looked at this small courtyard.
The two of them were a little disgusted, especially when they heard a series of fierce dog barks, and even a big dog appeared. Fortunately, they were quickly called away.
Li's brows suddenly wrinkled. She smelled a smell, so disgusting that she took out her handkerchief and gently covered her nose.
At this moment, Su's mother had already received the news and sent someone to greet them. The couple's faces looked a little ugly at the moment.
As junior nieces and nephews, they did not go out to greet them, which made the two of them very unhappy and wanted to have a fit.
Just at this moment, Mother Xia came over wearing mourning clothes, which made Tao Er and his wife shut up for a moment.
The person behind Xia's mother was holding a wooden tray, on which were two sets of mourning clothes. The rough clothes still had raw edges.
"What does this mean?" Tao Er was shocked. He had only been thinking about the death of his annoying brother.
I completely forgot that my biological father and mother were still living there. If my brother died, my parents would be afraid that something bad would happen.
"The old slave told me when I went to the house yesterday, and the old lady and the two of them left together."
Mother Xia's words suddenly made Liang Taoer and his wife look very ugly.
The two of them just thought about how their children could sleep peacefully when they came back.
One was in bed, thinking about what would happen after his brother's death.
They all unconsciously ignored the safety of the two old people.
In fact, Xia's mother was very unhappy.
The two of them actually forgot to wear mourning clothes.
Even if the old man didn't find the body, he wouldn't be sure.
But as a brother, Tao Er still had to dress his elder brother in mourning clothes.
After looking at it, Mrs. Li suddenly remembered, "Hey! We don't know about this."
He turned around and asked: "Mother Liu, why didn't you remember what happened yesterday?"
Xia's mother didn't pursue the matter any further. She took the second wife and her husband into the other courtyard to wear mourning clothes.
After the two of them changed their clothes, Xia's mother said: "Madam, they are keeping vigil for my grandparents and parents, so they cannot come out to greet them for the time being."
Tao Er and his wife were a little unhappy when they didn't see anyone greeting them. They even wanted to get angry and give Ling Xiao a big blow.
But the two of them have not worn mourning clothes since they were singled out. No matter how you look at it, there is a problem. At this moment, they have no intention to find trouble.
After the couple put on their mourning clothes, Tao Er finally remembered that he was going to marry Ding You. This made him a little desperate. What should he do? What if he had no position after being a mourner? This discovery made Tao Er a little desperate, but he had to
Put on mourning clothes.
Fortunately, he was supposed to be keeping vigil, and his loveless expression suited him very well. Mother Xia coughed lightly and said, "At that time, someone saw the old lady and two people getting into a bullock cart and trying to escape. As a result, the flood chased them.
After I went up there, I never saw them again."
"I tried to look for it later but couldn't find where I had gone. I couldn't come back from the flood." Xia's mother went on to say that Ms. Li also thought about the wake. Because she was too concerned about the child being brought back, she simply didn't care about it.
He didn't care about the life or death of others.
After listening to Xia's mother's words, I remembered that besides Tao Dalang and his wife, there were also my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Fortunately, they were wearing plain clothes when they came out, otherwise it would definitely be troublesome.
After putting on heavy mourning, the couple were taken into the mourning hall. There were only spiritual tablets in the mourning hall. When Tao Erlang saw it, he knelt down suddenly and then burst into tears.
When he thought about his current official position flapping his wings and flying away, he wanted to cry. The problem was that he must not expose his thoughts at this time.
I saw him crying and beating the ground, calling him daddy over and over again. He cried until some parts of his body twitched. What should I do?
Ling Xiao naturally knew how the couple behaved during this period, and did not care about the death of his eldest brother and his wife at all.
They were still planning to benefit from it. These two people were the kind of people who were always very selfish. She looked on with cold eyes.
Fortunately, Yuzhen is here this time, which means that the guardians of the three siblings have been found.
Otherwise, he would either follow the Tao family or go find the original owner’s mother-in-law’s family.
No matter which one, you have to live with some outsiders, which is sad.
Ling Xiao had no intention of going to someone else's house to stay under their roof.
She has seen Dream of Red Mansions, so she naturally knows something about living under someone else’s roof.
You must know that Lin Daiyu's biological mother is the beloved daughter of the ancestor of the Jia family, and the Jia family is the uncle's family.
As a grandmother, Jia Mu loved her granddaughter very much and always treated her like an eyeball.
But Lin Daiyu still had a very bad life. One of her two uncles didn't care, and the other didn't care.
One of the two aunts was too busy taking care of herself, and the other wanted to separate Lin Daiyu from her son.
In this situation, the servants with a pair of wealthy eyes thought that Lin Daiyu was here to fight against the autumn wind, and said that she was mean and petty.
This happened when Jia Mu had the right to speak in the Jia family. If Jia Mu had no say, I was afraid that Lin Daiyu would eat chaffy vegetables.
Ling Xiao had deep doubts about living under someone else's roof. After digging through the memory of the original owner, she found that her uncle's family was not in the capital.
The original owner's biological mother was the daughter of both her maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother. She was quite favored by her parents' family. Later, she suffered from the wrath of her husband's family after she got married.
Fortunately, my grandfather and his wife were there at that time, and they went to Tao's house to seek justice for their daughter, and they became a loving couple.
However, both maternal grandparents died one after another. The original owner's uncle Ding You later went to another place to serve as an official, and his family followed him.
In other words, since my uncle's family is not in the capital, it is naturally impossible to adopt the three siblings. This is actually good!
She really didn't want to live in the original owner's uncle's house. Her life would be extremely uncomfortable and might not be good.
We will talk about it later. If the uncle of the original owner has a good family, then it would be good to be a relative.
After carefully searching the memory of the original owner, Ling Xiao discovered that the original owner should have a relative.
The cousin of this body is almost the same age as the original owner's mother.
What's even more strange is that the two of them are not biological sisters.
But I don’t know why they look so similar.
People who don't know think they are twins.
Most people feel good if two people look alike.
But in fact this is not the case, the relationship between the two people has always been quite dull.
The original owner once asked the reason and found out that the two of them didn't get along well at all.
Because they look so similar, outsiders always compare the two people, which leads to the two people having a normal relationship.
The cousin's aunt married into a noble family because of her talent, while the original mother-in-law, who was very low-key, married into a noble family.
There should be quite a few in-laws with the Tao family in the capital. Ling Xiao's head hurts just thinking about the relationship between so many aunts and uncles.
Fortunately, the other in-law relationships are relatively distant and can be basically ignored. She plans to keep her filial piety in this villa and wait for the return of the original owner.
During this period, she will first help the original owner to educate the two boys well. She hopes that the original owner will come back soon. She will not use this body to get married. If the original owner never comes back, she plans to become a monk first and wait for the original owner to come back.
