No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 257 Sense and Sensibility

"I know a girl who has been with a certain man for many years and has a deep relationship. One day, the man proposed to the girl. What do you think happened to the girl?" Ou Mengmeng turned to Baochai.

"Childhood sweethearts, finally getting married, a beautiful thing in the world." Baochai was a little envious. In her opinion, this kind of emotion is the most touching and safest.

"The girl was scared and ran away." Ou Mengmeng smiled, stopped, leaned on her crutches and looked at the sky. She was talking about her precious daughter, the little star, who was secretly in love with a certain male star.They had been together for five years. The actor proposed to her and arranged a public schedule. Her daughter was so scared that she ran away.I ran home and hugged her, not caring about her.Ou Mengmeng said this because she wanted to talk about love with Baochai.Although I think it's a bit difficult for Baochai's temperament, but think about it, I've already talked about the goals and results, and also talked about love.What if she goes too far and turns out to be like Zhuo Wenjun, who has too big an idea and is taken away?
"Why?" Baochai's eyes widened. He was envious just now, but now he was surprised, but he immediately reflected on himself, "That's right, girls should be cautious, and take the orders of their parents and matchmakers. How can there be private giving and receiving? .Well done that girl!”

"You're right, they really talked about marriage in private." Ou Mengmeng thought about it and nodded, but she didn't think about it. When her daughter said it, she was thinking about whether the male star wanted to break up in order to get out of the relationship. In order to get married, "the parents of both parties didn't know, so when the man proposed marriage to the woman, the girl was frightened."

"What happened next? Did the young man propose marriage to the girl's parents?" Baochai hurriedly asked the result.

"What do you think?"

"Will it be like in the play, after going through hardships, and finally getting married?" Baochai thought about it and felt that this could only happen in the play.

The old lady asked her eldest sister to find some playbooks and tell them to the sisters one by one. She may have read too much, so she told the old lady, "Everyone who speaks comes from a scholarly family, and his father is either a minister or a prime minister. A young lady must be loved like a treasure. This young lady must be well-versed in literature and etiquette, and she must know everything. She is actually a peerless beauty. As soon as she sees a handsome man, whether he is a relative or a friend, she will think of life-long events, and her parents will forget about them. I forgot about the book etiquette. A ghost cannot become a ghost, and a thief cannot become a thief. What makes a beautiful woman? Even if he is full of articles and does these things, he is not a beautiful person. For example, if a man is full of articles and becomes a thief, is that Wang Fa said that he was a talented man, but he was not involved in the crime of being a thief? Does it mean that the editor of the book stuffed his own mouth..." At that time, after the sisters really looked through a pile of books, they were all attracted by the old man. The wife was right.Even the most talented Sister Lin felt bored.Now listening to what the old lady said, it seems a bit fresh.

"I don't know, I didn't see the ending." Ou Mengmeng sighed softly, "The girl probably likes the boy, right? But even though they have been together for five years, they don't dare to bring him home to see their parents. That's enough. It proves that both parties actually have no confidence in this relationship, right? I showed you the script of "The Peony Pavilion" before, and I said at the time that the story is good and the lyrics are good. I just can't have this man."

"There's a girl, there's a girl like that, she really deserves to be beaten to death." Baochai didn't like the girl in the play the most. She was obviously a good girl, but he had to lead her to play in the abandoned garden and help her get along with the stranger. There is no matchmaker, and all the really good girls are ruined.

"That young master is not a good person either. Even though the young lady is alive, he is afraid that her parents will not allow them to be together. He keeps the young girl by his side and does not teach her to find her parents. I have seen a play where her father wanted to go to the border and sent someone to escort her away. Returning to my old wife, going alone to the other side, that scene made me stain my clothes with tears." Ou Mengmeng watched "The Peony Pavilion" in modern times. When the old man gave his wife a part, she felt that after giving birth to a daughter, it would be better to give birth to a baby. Barbecue pork. "You are really a drama, which is to make people laugh and cry. It is also a blessing that you can produce a batch of them like this." Baochai said with a smile. Maybe she read a lot of drama scripts for this part. He also took great care of the girls around him. He learned to read and received training together with the maids of the Jia family. From this period, it was obvious that he felt that things around him were much more comfortable.

Thinking back to the time when my father was still here, he would be brothers to all the shopkeepers in the mansion, but the relationship between my mother and the servants in the mansion did not seem dignified enough.The consequence was that not long after she arrived in the capital, she had only learned how to keep accounts for a few days. Then she looked at the shopkeepers and managers in the capital. They were all domineering and did not take her mother or her seriously at all.Obviously they felt that even if they were in the capital, even if they were under the protection of the Wu family and the Jia family, they didn't care.

So as the old lady just said, rules are protection.When my father was here before, he was polite to them, not because he was afraid of them, but I had countermeasures.If he and his mother were to gain power, he would have to beat them until they hurt and make them surrender.But they used the wrong method. In the end, they had no choice but to use the power of the Jia family to send these people to the officials for audit. Anyway, these properties in the capital of the Xue family were the private property of their house. They had not been back to Beijing for many years. What was wrong with it? It has nothing to do with their main family, and they have been severely punished.But he didn't dare to find someone to reopen the business. He just said that the female family members were incompetent, so the business was closed and they lived honestly by collecting rent.

The more things we have experienced, the more we will be self-righteous.I once wanted to soar into the sky, protect my mother and brother, and make those who once looked down upon them pay the price.But after spending half a year in the Jia family, I really received the teachings from the nuns in the palace, so there is nothing I still don’t understand.Now she has really lost her snobbery and learned to behave herself.

"So when it comes to love, you can't do it to the left or to the right." Ou Mengmeng shook her head. She felt that if she taught these children to pursue free love, she would be harming them.For example, now she regrets letting Jia Yuan and Xiong Er meet.Even if the first time was an accident, the subsequent meetings were completely unnecessary.She brought it in with modern thinking.Fortunately, Jia Yuan didn't have much feelings for Xiong Er, otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

"You are absolutely right, so that sister is alert and knows to stop at the edge." Baochai nodded and said seriously.

"Actually, the courage is not enough. The love is not enough to support them to get married and have children, and face the rest of their lives. Think about Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, and look at the ending. Do you think Sima Xiangru changed his mind because of that poem? Sima Xiangru wrote "Ode to Changmen". Can one or two poems about love and resentment between women win back the heart of a scumbag? He is afraid! Hearing that you have two minds, I came here to tell you the truth. Don't underestimate women, I Once I was able to betray my father and help you reach your current position, now I can also betray you and bring you back to your original shape. If the persona is ruined, what is left for Sima Xiangru?" Ou Mengmeng said to Baochai without raising a brow. He smiled and said, "So, women should be smart in marriage. You have the strongest temperament among the sisters. Although your background is a flaw, there are two kinds of people in this world who don't have to follow the rules. One is the one at the top, and the other is the one at the bottom. As the market says, you are willing to cut yourself off and dare to pull down the emperor. To put it more simply, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. To be more elegant, it is to be strong without desire. I can't be worse, Who am I afraid of?"

　I'm afraid you will say that I am a remnant of feudalism, and bring out Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun to make excuses.However, when you read Bai Tou Yin, don't you mean it as a threat?How do I see it, it sounds like a woman is saying coldly, if you are brave enough, leave.
