Taoyao Order

Chapter 4
Hearing this, Taoyao couldn't help but retort: ​​"Yes! They always have their reasons! But they are too inconsistent. At first they said that as long as the character is valuable and they treat me well, it will be fine, but when they meet, they treat me well. Okay, let’s start picking other people’s family backgrounds.

If you come from a good family background, you will start to find sexual faults in your model.If you model good character, choose the character of other people's parents.

I'm just afraid that no one is perfect, no one is perfect. They are picking and choosing like this. How can there be a saint in this world who is worthy of me? "

Li squeezed Taoyao's hand as if comforting, and said with seriousness: "That's why I said, this brother from the Chu family sounds good. Don't just listen to what they say, what about yourself? Have you listened to the brother from the Chu family? What do you think of my son’s resume?”

Li's question made Taoyao gradually calm down. She stood up holding the heater in her hand, standing under the red lantern, looking up at the white snow rustling between the dry branches. Luo: "I think he's pretty good.

The second aunt said that he knew rhythm, could play the piano and compose music, and I always liked to write lyrics and sing songs, but I couldn’t play the piano or compose music. I was thinking at that time, how could there be a person in this world who was so clever? , as if it could just complete the missing half of me.

Like me, he likes to travel to famous mountains and rivers, and loves elegant things. I always feel that I have a lot to talk about with him.

The second aunt also said that every Chinese New Year, their family would open a porridge factory to distribute porridge to the poor people, and he would go there personally to distribute the porridge every time.

In his spare time, he always went to the local almshouse to teach the homeless children to read and provide them with food and clothing. The children there liked him very much.

At that moment, I even wanted to cry. I just couldn’t believe that there would be such a person in this world. No matter how good his appearance, family background, talent, education, temperament, he was, he was worthy of me, and he had not yet promised to marry me. , still waiting for me. "

Li looked at Taoyao who looked like that, and couldn't help but reveal a gentle and loving smile: "Yes, so you see, how good this is, you don't care, you just want to live in peace. But God doesn't allow it. , he can’t bear to see you secretly casting your love, and will always try to block it in every possible way, so that all those [-]/[-] marriages in front of him can’t come true, so that this perfect marriage can come true.”

When Tao Yao heard this, she frowned and shook her head slightly: "But I never believe that there is anyone in this world who is perfect. But I know that there is no man in this world that the matchmaker says is unmarriageable. Although I trust Aunt Shao, she is sincerely good to me and will not fool me with some bad people, but there must be many things about Mr. Chu that my parents don’t like."

Li heard what Taoyao said was good, but: "Although there is no perfection in this world, people will still pursue perfection."

Taoyao said: "I'm afraid that if I blindly pursue perfection, I will end up fetching water from a bamboo basket."

Li opened her mouth, but in the end she did not continue to argue with her. She just sighed and said with a smile: "You said that your parents always have their own reasons, but you are not the same. You always have your own reasons, regardless of others." No matter what, you never give in. But, you are always too pessimistic about this marriage. Why do you always want to make do with it? This marriage is like this. Before getting married, I thought this person was eight or nine good. After you get married, you will find that you don’t even have three or four points left. Now you think about making do with those who only have four or five points. After you get married, you may not even have one or two points left. After all, you are the one who has to suffer. .”

Tao Yao smiled bitterly: "I'm not good at all, so how can I expect to be good?"

"Are you not good?" Mrs. Li was surprised when she heard this, and then she shook her head as if thinking of something, "Yaoyao, although I haven't been to many places and I don't have much experience, but people like you and you There are really very few people like my eldest brother.

How difficult is it to pass the Jinshi exam? There is one subject every three years, and only 360 people are admitted in each subject. The eldest brother passed the exam.

And the Zi Ling Pavilion you went to receives 36 apprentices every year?That is an even more difficult honor.What's more, your talents and knowledge are not inferior to those of your elder brother.

Your father has that kind of temperament, he is always unforgiving with his words.Even your brother who won the Jinshi title was scolded by him all day long? "

Tao Yao was a little surprised. Although her second sister-in-law was not very knowledgeable, she was very knowledgeable about people.I have always had low self-reliance. Is it because my father was too harsh on me since I was a child and often scolded me?

Mrs. Li looked at Taoyao who said nothing. She lingered for a while before continuing: "Let me tell you something you don't know. That time, those old classmates of my second uncle returned home in fine clothes and called We had a drink with him. It was getting dark, but he hadn't come back yet.

Grandpa was worried, so he asked your second brother to look for him. Your second brother was looking for your father in the tavern. He was already very drunk, but he was still there holding the waiter who was supporting him and said, "You tell your eldest brother It's all his pride and the greatest comfort in his life.Although he was just a scholar himself, he taught a Jinshi and a daughter who was as good as any other man. "

Taoyao was stunned for a moment, feeling unbelievable.

He said, I am his pride, his comfort, his daughter who is not inferior to any man?
"Yaoyao, your parents are very cautious in your marriage. It's not that they are picky, nor are they trying to be more clinging to someone else. They just love you too much and always feel that no one is good enough for you, so they choose from thousands of people. , in order to make you happy for the rest of your life, not to be wronged, and to be able to live in peace and joy for the rest of your life, it is far better than the lintel of the glorious Tao family."

At that moment, Tao Yao suddenly realized that it was not herself and her brother who her father had considered bad for so many years and had no way to boast about, but himself who had failed in many attempts and wasted half his life, so he could only accept his fate.
