"Wait, wait, you mean you don't want to marry?" Xiao Ting managed to figure out the main point from the middle.
"Yes." Concubine Chu Tian nodded solemnly.
"You don't want to marry, shouldn't you beg your father or say, your elder brother? What are you begging me for? I can't be your master."
Xiao Ting really didn't understand, what was this girl thinking
"They won't agree. They've already made an engagement for me, and they said they'll let me marry if they bring me Jiji. I don't want to marry someone, let alone that sick child."
Concubine Chu Tian burst into tears as she spoke, tears streaming down her cheeks, Xiao Ting felt really distressed looking at it, the little girl was so pitiful that she didn't want to marry.
It's just that, it's not her turn to speak in Jiangnan Palace!
"Then you just talk to your father directly. You just say that you don't want to marry him. Is it possible that he can still tie you up to marry someone?"
Seeing the little girl's disbelieving expression, Xiao Ting gave her an example.
"Since you know so many things about me, then you also know about our Xiao family."
"Our Xiao family is full of women. If there are more women, there will be more right and wrong. You all know this, so I don't like dealing with women very much. Well, men are more straightforward, so they are easy to get along with.
When I got married, my father also asked for my opinion. Afterwards, didn't the eldest prince fall in love with me and wanted to marry me? Then my father asked me what I meant, and I said no, so he didn't force me. As long as you tell your father well, he will definitely agree. "
There are no parents in the world who don't want their children to live well, unless they are not their own.
"Wow wow wow..."
Hehe, it's okay if Xiao Ting didn't say anything, but the girl burst into tears when she said that, so startled that the two guard girls at the door pushed the door open and entered.
"Six, six girls."
Concubine Chu Tian twitched her nose, wiped her tears, then pointed to the outside and said, "Go out, don't listen to anything, and don't tell my father and brother, otherwise, I want you to look good."
"No, why are you crying so hard, I don't care about you much."
Xiao Ting shook her undried hair and felt a headache. She hated other people crying the most. Children can be coaxed when they cry, but what should the older children do when they cry
"It's easy for Auntie to say, but don't think about how many masters of the Xiao family there are in the world." She found a chair by herself and sat down again, maybe she was crying just now, and she looked a little embarrassed when she was seen by the maid.
"In this empire, who doesn't know that Mr. Xiao loves the sixth girl of her family the most, and that's you. If you want the stars in the sky, he probably wants to move a ladder for you to pick them off."
Speaking of her cheap father, Xiao Ting is also very proud. "Well, my father is indeed very good, but your father should not be bad either, he is still a prince, and my father is also a commoner."
There are no right parents in the world, this is what Xiao Ting has always believed in.
"My lord? So what about my lord? Even the emperor, wouldn't he marry his beloved daughter to someone he doesn't love?"
"You mean Zhaohua?"
"That's right, what kind of existence does Princess Zhaohua have in the palace? She is lawless and favored by the emperor. The empress dowager loves her to no end. But what happens in the end? Didn't she marry someone she didn't like?"
Xiao Ting was speechless now, Zhaohua's marriage was at that time, she thought it was impossible to make it to that point, but she didn't understand, why did it end up like that
However, after all, everyone's life has to go on their own, and she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Then do you have someone you like?"
Concubine Chu Tian shook her head, "No, I don't want to marry so early."
"Then you can solve the current problem by taking me as your teacher?" Xiao Tingmo, is she that powerful
"Yes, if you are willing to accept me as a disciple, Auntie, I can leave with you without getting married."
This girl is still thinking too naively, Xiao Ting feels that her IQ is not enough, but this girl's ideas are a bit whimsical.
"What do you think? If you don't want to get married, just tell your brother, they will always find a way."
Concubine Chu Tian was a little discouraged, "Auntie isn't going to help me anymore?"
"I was thinking too naively. Fifth brother is right. There is only one sixth girl and one ninth prince in this world."
What does this have to do with Ninth Prince? Xiao Ting thought for a while and said, "Then it's better if I talk to your brother tomorrow, but I can't control how he decides."
"No need. My brother and my father are both people who put the overall situation first. Only the fifth brother will feel sorry for me, but he can't be in charge."
"You are happier, Aunt Wang, married to Uncle Jiu Wang."
Concubine Chu Tian repeatedly mentioned the Ninth Prince, which made Xiao Ting very depressed.
"Do you think your Uncle Jiu Wang is very good?"
"Of course."
Xiao Ting became more interested. She never felt that her choice was wrong, but she also didn't feel that her marriage was so good that it was enviable. Seeing Concubine Chu Tian's expression at this moment really made her hard to understand.
"Then tell me, what's a good way?"
Concubine Chu Tian saw that she looked like she was in the midst of blessings, so she talked to her enthusiastically.
"Look, what about Uncle Wang, he is good-looking, rich and powerful, and you have been married for three years, and he has not married a concubine, nor has he taken concubines, let alone a housemate."
Xiao Ting murmured to herself that it was because he was in poor health and couldn't serve so many women.
Even a woman like her...
Thinking of this, she quickly interrupted her thoughts, not daring to recall what happened that night.
In the end, he could only silently agree with Concubine Chu Tian's statement.
"Think about it, in this world, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, even a dull man like my elder brother, and his sister-in-law were very affectionate at the beginning, didn't they also welcome two side concubines?"
Xiao Ting couldn't stand it any longer, "The Ninth Prince didn't accept the side concubine because we had an agreement at the beginning, and he was afraid that other women would abuse his son."
Hmph, don't think she doesn't know anything, that guy was notoriously unfeminine in the past.
Concubine Chu Tian didn't refute her, and continued: "Then Uncle Wang doesn't care about you, women should be at home, but what about you? Not only can you go to the streets, but you can also go out on your own, and do whatever you like. I've heard people say that you even broke through the imperial tomb..."
Xiao Ting felt a little guilty, are all the women here like this? If you want to stay in the back house all the time, won't you be suffocated to death
If you can't even go to the street casually, so what? So she asked this question out.
Concubine Chu Tian gave her such a look, then sighed and said: "As a woman, you need to obey your father at home, and obey your husband when you get married. For married women, there are more rules. If the wife goes out, she must get her husband's permission, and report the time, place, and things to be done. Only after the permission can she leave the house, and the date of return must be reported in advance. If it is a concubine, then you must first report to the head of the house.
"I'll go, going to jail isn't so scary, is it?"
Xiao Ting seldom paid attention to these things in the past, so she didn't know that the status of women in this society is also so low.
She finally understood why the backyard of the Xiao Mansion was so restless, and those women couldn't go out at will, so they would be trapped in that three-inch space, and only intrigue remained.
To say they don't know much is not true. If you can't even get out of the door, what else can you see
"Now you know why we envy you, right? Even if I am a girl at home and want to go out, I still have to get the permission of my elder brother, and the places I go to must not be messy, either in that mansion or this mansion, and friends are not allowed to have promiscuity."
Why did Xiao Ting feel aggrieved the more she heard these words
"Fifth brother once said that the princess is a wonderful person, that's why Uncle Ninth Prince will keep you in the house. You can do whatever you like. Anyway, even if you offend anyone, he will back you up and clean up the mess for you. At that time, we thought, being the most Uncle Ninth's woman is really happy. You don't know how much our little sisters envy you."
What does it mean to clean up the mess for her
Is she good at getting into trouble
But Xiao Ting didn't dare to ask these words. Based on her understanding of her past, she did cause a lot of troubles. At first, she thought that those people were speechless by her words, but she didn't expect that the Ninth Prince was behind her to support her.
In this way, thinking about the words of Red Spoon and Lv Cai, yes, Chu Li treated her really well.
Of course, this Chu Li was at that normal time, not the current one who is both human and devil...
"You only see that he treats me well, but in fact, I treat him very well."
He knew how to be a good person, but in the eyes of outsiders, he had to rely on the Ninth Prince for everything.
"Then Auntie was talking about your internet speed. As a woman, it's okay to have nothing for three years. I heard that she was harsh on the prince. Even so, Uncle Wang didn't marry another woman."
"It's because he has high vision and doesn't look down on others. But there are several girls vying to enter the palace." Xiao Ting did not forget that he had a grudge against those women because of the Ninth Prince.
"An ex-wife's younger sister is nothing more than a childhood sweetheart. That's not counting. There is also a so-called cousin who is waiting there. It's really a disaster."
Concubine Chu Tian was extremely envious of the relationship between Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince, seeing Xiao Ting's jealous appearance at this moment, she was no different from them.
"Auntie, Uncle Wang is called Lanyan Huoshui. By the way, why didn't Uncle Wang come with you?"
Concubine Chu changed the subject.
"Ah, this, I don't know either, he seems to have something important to do."
Xiao Ting didn't know why, she felt a little guilty when she said this, she obviously didn't do anything wrong, how could she feel guilty
"Look, even if he has something important to do, he still doesn't forget to let someone stay to take care of you and escort you."
"Isn't this what it should be?" Xiao Ting's eyes widened.
"That's not true, if another man married such a lawless wife as you, he would have been divorced long ago.
Auntie, you don't know that this world is unfair to women. They can divorce their wives at will, and marry another one at worst. No one will embarrass themselves unless they are willing. "
