The Happiness of Rebirth in the 80s

Chapter 1

In the Great Yan Dynasty, Wang, Liu, Zhou, and Wu were well-known families with a century-old history.However, the reason why the Liu family is famous is somewhat special.Not only because he is a hairpin family that has been passed down for a hundred years, and not only because of the strong record of Liu's family and three Hanlin fathers and sons, but also because Liu's daughter is famous for being able to give birth.

Some people even made statistics in private, and the daughters of the Liu family have more than five children regardless of their concubines. Among them, the eldest daughter of the fourth generation of the Liu family is the most, with eight sons and two daughters.Even the emperor once secretly asked Mrs. Liu, the chief assistant of the court, if the Liu family had any secret recipe for childbirth that was not passed on to the outside world.This makes Liu Shoufu, who has been rigorous all his life and loyal to the country, almost dumbfounded.

In this era of many children and many blessings, the daughters of the Liu family really don't have to worry about marrying. Even the concubine daughters with low status have some good families to propose marriage for the second and youngest sons.There is even a saying among some upper noble families that marrying a wife should marry a daughter of the Liu family, which shows how famous the daughter of the Liu family is.

However, the Liu family had more males than females in the past dynasties. On average, there were only three or four daughters in a generation, including concubines.Other families are proud of having sons, but in Liu's family, having a son is really nothing. Only a daughter is considered capable.

After the grandmother of the Liu family gave birth to four sons in a row, she finally gave birth to Liu Yuanniang, the eldest daughter of the Liu family's next generation, at the age of 30.The birth of Liu Yuanniang really made the family overjoyed. Without him, the Liu family of this generation already had more than a dozen grandchildren, but not a single daughter.The birth of Liu Yuanniang made Liu Shoufu, the head of the Liu family, who had always been strict, smile. From time to time, people teased the little great-granddaughter.

However, the situation of the second mother who was born later was much worse. Her father was a concubine, and her biological mother was a maidservant with a lower background. With the status of a concubine, even if the daughter of the Liu family was favored, her situation would be worse. a lot of.Especially when the second mother was born was too embarrassing, she was only two months younger than the eldest daughter, and one year older than the third younger sister. She received little attention.

But after all, she is one of the only three daughters of the Liu family, and her second mother was also raised by the old lady of the Liu family. Although she is not so favored, she is not bad at all. , plus the aroma of books from many lifetimes.Although it is a concubine, there are many people who come to propose marriage.

Er Niang originally thought that her whole life should be like that of her concubine aunt in the previous generation, marrying the second son of a good family, and then supporting her husband and raising her children for the rest of her life, even though she had no interest in competing with others for a husband.But she has means and a dowry, and she is a regular wife, and her life is not far behind.So every time wives from different families come to see each other, she will show a generous but shy expression from time to time to attract the love of the wives.

But when she was actively preparing for the days to come, suddenly a bolt from the blue struck her head.The old lady of Dingguohou's Mansion has come to propose marriage.Dingguohou's mansion was single-handed down for three generations, and the third generation even had only one sickly concubine son who was judged by the imperial doctor to not live to be 20 years old.No matter how rich such a family is, as long as they love their daughter a little bit, they will not marry their daughter, let alone the daughter of the Liu family who never worries about marrying.But Dingguohou's mansion has a relationship with the Liu family. The old Dingguohou once saved the life of the old man of the Liu family. The old lady of Dingguohou's mansion was over eighty years old and came to ask for marriage in person, begging the old man Liu to marry a daughter to repay the past. life-saving grace.

Elder Liu had no choice but to marry, but Yuanniang and Sanniang were both descendants of the first wife, so of course they couldn't marry a sick child, and the only one who was sacrificed was Erniang.Erniang got married with the high dowry compensated by the Liu family, but at this time the young master of Dingguohou's mansion was already so ill that he couldn't even get up, so he left after less than half a year of marriage.This time, even the daughter of the Liu family failed to save the fate of the Dingguo Houfu's extinct heir.

Erniang's whole life can be said to have passed without waves and waves, except for the turmoil when Xu married Dingguohou's Mansion when she was 14 years old, she never lived a single day.Even when her newlywed husband died, she was not so sad. Who can feel so sad about the death of a stranger who has only seen three or four times and has been lying in bed.She also didn't want to cause trouble with her stepchildren, and just lived a simple life like this.

When she was a widow, she mostly lived in a village in the countryside. The life of the peasants was difficult, and they couldn't even eat the cheapest pork, but she envied that kind of life very much.Although those days were bitter, they had a special taste, full of children and grandchildren, noisy and fighting, so colorful, not as plain as hers, as if a lifetime was in the blink of an eye.

As she was dying, Erniang reminisced about her life. She did not blame Mrs. Liu for being biased, nor did she blame Mrs. Tai of Dingguohou's Mansion for being selfish.She has enjoyed enough prosperity and wealth in this life, and she only hopes that in the next life she can be the master for herself and live a happy life with a husband and son, so that even if life is hard, she is willing.
