Chapter 273

Of course, Shen Lidong couldn't hear Daoyang's regrets and regrets at all. She was sitting in the carriage, closing her eyes and resting her mind, and walked slowly all the way back to the mansion.

After arriving at the gate of the mansion, Shen Lidong got out of the carriage and was about to return to Zhuheyuan with Mu Jin and Mulan when the maid Hong Xing, who was beside her mother, Chen Shi, walked over and bowed to Shen Lidong.

"Fifth Miss, Madam is waiting for Miss to pass in the main hall right now, saying that she has something to talk to Miss about."

Shen Lidong thought about the troubles of the past few days, so he couldn't help asking Hong Xing one more question. "Did another matchmaker come to your door today?"

"That's not true." Hong Xing shook her head, and then said: "However, after breakfast, Princess Zhongqin came to our mansion and talked with Madam for a long time in the room, as for the content of the discussion, I don't know. "

When Shen Lidong heard that Tang Yuanqi's mother and concubine had visited the Shen residence, he felt a little uncertain.What is the reason for this loyal princess to visit the mansion specially?

Shen Lidong frowned and guessed all kinds of possibilities, followed Hongxing to lead the way, and went to the main hall together.

There, Mrs. Chen was sitting on the edge of the table, looking at her expression, she seemed a little hesitant, when she saw Shen Lidong coming in, she hurriedly beckoned for Shen Lidong to pass.

Shen Lidong didn't understand what was embarrassing his mother, so he asked. "Mother, it looks like you have something on your mind, but what happened?"

Mrs. Chen glanced at Shen Lidong, opened her mouth and wanted to say it, but felt that it was not easy to do so, so her lips opened and closed, faltering, and finally she didn't say it.

Seeing Chen's behavior, Shen Lidong couldn't help asking: "Mother, my daughter heard that Princess Zhongqin came to the mansion, but did Princess Zhongqin embarrass Mother about something?"

"No, no, nothing." Mrs. Chen shook her head and said na na.

"What is the reason? Mother might as well tell her daughter directly." Seeing Chen's hesitation, Shen Lidong felt a little uneasy.

After hearing what Shen Lidong said, Mrs. Chen seemed to have made some decision, and finally told Shen Lidong about it. "Dong'er, this matter is like this. Originally, mother promised Dong'er that she would find Dong'er a simple family, a good character, who would live a good life, just like your brother-in-law, but this will Princess Zhongqin came to the door in person, and she wants to be in-laws with our family." Chen also did not expect that Princess Zhongqin would come to mention the marriage of the two children, so she also hesitated.

Shen Lidong heard that Princess Zhongqin came today to betroth Tang Yuanqi to her. This news made Shen Lidong stunned on the spot. No matter what, she never imagined that the young lady from the past would have a real talk with her someday. Marriage?
Mother Chen asked Shen Lidong to go back and think about this matter carefully. She said that after all, it was related to her own happiness for the rest of her life. As a mother, she couldn't decide for her directly, so she finally decided to hand over this matter to her. Let Shen Lidong handle it by himself, I hope Shen Lidong can think it through carefully, and then give her an answer as soon as possible.

Shen Lidong returned to the Zhuhe Courtyard with the question given by Mrs. Chen. This night, she naturally slept restlessly, tossing and turning, and finally sighed softly, put on her coat and got up, gently pushed the room open. Opening the door, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, there is a touch of autumn sadness between the brows.

Mother Chen can discuss this matter with her today, and let her decide this matter by herself, that is enough to move her.You know, in this world, it is the words of the matchmaker that the parents ordered. Once the parents decide the life-long affairs of the children, the children have no right to refute at all. If it is used on the road of official career, a woman may be sent to a Buddhist hall, accompanied by an ancient Buddha with a green lamp for a lifetime, or expelled from the family, pointed out by the world, and not tolerated by the world.

And this is not a big problem for men in this era. If you marry the woman you have chosen, if you don't like it, you can have three wives and four concubines. As long as you have the ability and financial resources, as long as you have a successful career, you can naturally Nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, and there are countless beauties in his arms. There is no need to care whether the woman he marries is his beloved woman.

However, for women, it is the saddest thing. Marriage is completely involuntary. It all depends on whether the parents see people correctly or whether the parents really love their daughters. That's nothing more than normal.And once a woman becomes a marriage pawn or marries a worthless dude, then the woman's life will be ruined.

Although there are women who remarry or remarry after divorce, they are a minority after all, and most of the women choose to forbear, enduring their husband's three wives and four concubines after marriage, hugging left and right, Enduring the humiliation of the husband and the concubine joining forces, just to preserve the title and status of the first wife, and only to guarantee the status of the first son or daughter for the children born, so he endured everything.

As for her, can she guarantee that a person of Tang Yuanqi's status will be the only one after marriage?Even if she is the only one now, what about the future?In the previous life, under the monogamy system protected by the Marriage Law, there were extramarital affairs, and things like raising a third child and a fourth child happened. What's more, in this era, a man can legally own many women, have three wives and four concubines, and have countless sexual relationships. House maid, as long as they have money and power, they can have as many women as they want, especially with Tang Yuanqi's status and status, the dignified eldest son, with a character like him, how could she be the only one in the future? Where is the wife?

Even if Tang Yuanqi himself had the idea of ​​guarding her alone, how could the loyal prince and princess allow their son to have only one wife?This is impossible, even in the eyes of the world, the loyal prince who loves his wife very much, besides the concubine, although he has no side concubines and concubines to support the concubine, he still has concubines, and those emperors sent them over Regardless of whether it was sent by the officials of the court, Tang Lin also accepted it.Because for men in this era, especially men with status and status, if a man has only one woman in his family, he will be ridiculed by outsiders, because those with only one woman are usually only like that of poor families, slightly wealthy civilians Common people will have concubines and the like, let alone high-ranking and wealthy families?Which man in this family doesn't have three wives and four concubines?

In other words, this Tang Lin already respected and loved Princess Xie Wanrou enough, so he did not allow any other women to offend Xie Wanrou's status, and no concubine dared to threaten Xie Wanrou's status. Although those so-called concubines were very low in status, Although it is basically a decoration, even so, there are still two concubine daughters in Prince Zhong's Mansion, which fully demonstrates that a place like Prince Zhong's Mansion will never allow future generations to have only one wife. What these people pay attention to is a continuous descendant, spreading branches and leaves, so that the family can be prosperous, endless, and passed on from generation to generation.

So, can she still agree to this marriage?Thinking about it, Princess Zhongqin is also extremely unwilling that a woman of her status will become the future princess of her Prince Zhong's mansion. It is only because of the insistence of Tang Yuanqi, the princess who loves her son so much, that's why she reluctantly came to discuss this marriage. Bar.

In this way, it was a forced marriage, if she Shen Lidong had to show her face to heal the sick and serve the world because of Shen Lidong after marriage, I'm afraid it would make the Concubine Zhongqin even more dissatisfied.Dissatisfaction with this point, and if they let Tang Yuanqi take a concubine in the future, with her temperament, would she agree?Is Ken like women in this era, watching their husbands being shared by other women?This point, I am afraid she, Shen Lidong, will never be able to do it.I'm afraid this is the most critical point, she can't tolerate this kind of thing happening.She has a deep-rooted idea of ​​monogamy in her previous life. Even if she adapts to this era in other aspects and lives in harmony with the system of this era, at this point, her idea of ​​a couple for a lifetime will not change in the slightest. Even if the man she chooses is just someone she likes, not the one she loves, even if two people get together to live together, then she still wants him to at least be the only woman in this life, otherwise, No matter how high the other party's status is, if she can't enjoy the glory and wealth, what's the point to Shen Lidong?
