Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 30 Jade Bracelet
Polygamy was a natural thing in ancient times, but it is much more difficult for me to accept this concept.If there are more women in the family dangling in front of my eyes, knocking over a vinegar jar or something, I will definitely vomit blood and die.

Mulan's father, Yao Wenyuan, had four wives. I really don't know how my mother felt when she saw one woman after another being married into the house by her husband, and how she faced the fact that her husband spent the night in other women's rooms.If there is no room for others to measure, will you still be angry and dead?Anyway, I definitely can't accept it, so I might as well pack up and run away from home to make a living by myself.It's a pity that most women in this era don't have such thoughts. This is the sequelae of being instilled in childhood with the knowledge of female commandments, three obediences and four virtues.

"Huh? Miss, is this the bracelet Mr. Lu gave you? It's so beautiful!" When Xiaoqing saw the jade bracelet on my hand, she was very envious. "I think Mr. Lu seems to like Miss very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given you such an expensive gift, and he waited so late to give it to you face to face."

"Ah?" After hearing Xiaoqing's words, I was stunned.

In Yao Mansion, breakfast is eaten with relatives, and the master likes to see the whole family get together in harmony.A few days ago, because of my health, I have been eating alone. Until today, my mother specially asked someone to inform me to eat in the main living room.Before I entered the front hall, I heard a group of women saying good morning to each other on twitter. My mother, aunts and six or seven other sisters had already arrived.As soon as I showed up, the master who was talking to Madam turned his head, stretched out his hand and said, "Mulan, come and sit beside me."

I took a quick glance and found that the wife and Xuelian were sitting on the left of the master, and there was an empty seat on the right, followed by several aunts and a group of sisters.Come to think of it, Mulan must have sat with Xuelian in the past, but today the master deliberately vacated the seat next to her.I walked over and saluted, then sat down.The sisters on the opposite side exchanged glances, and they looked at me differently.The aunts were stunned for a moment, and soon greeted me kindly.

During the dinner, the master suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said, "I heard that Master Zhang Yingzhang came back last night. I'm going to visit today. Besides, it seems that Mulan Xuelian's birthday will be in a few days, right?"

"Yes, does the master have any arrangements?" Madam said.

The master thought for a while, "Let the cook in the house prepare well. On that day, we will hold a birthday party for Mulan Snow Lotus. We will invite an opera troupe from outside to sing, and everyone will be lively. By the way, we will also invite our old neighbors." Come on, how about having fun with the two families?"

"That's a good idea!" Second Aunt clapped her hands and applauded, "This time there are no outsiders, and my family doesn't have to be restrained, so it will be more lively." The girls all showed joy when they heard this.The madam touched the master with a smile, and reminded in a low voice: "Yes, while they are all here, we should also discuss it and get the children's important affairs done."
