The Reborn Wife is Farming

Shu Wanniang frowned slightly, and asked: "Xiuhong said that you gave Haoran a leather jacket as a winter solstice gift, is she wrong?"

"She's right," Mu Yangling nodded and said, "I gave Qi Haoran a leather jacket as a gift, but what does this have to do with our marriage?"

Shu Wanniang opened her mouth wide, wondering why her daughter didn't understand this matter, could it be because she hadn't hinted before?

But where does this kind of thing need to be explicitly stated by a mother? Don't you know when a few little girls get together?

Oh, yes, her daughter has no girlfriends. Apart from Xiuhong and Xiulan, no girl has played particularly well with her. Obviously, Xiuhong must have never discussed this with her daughter, but who knows, her daughter will not know What about this custom?

Obviously everyone knows it?

Shu Wanniang said with a headache: "Silly boy, when is it not good for you to give him a gift? You must give him a winter solstice gift. Young men and women giving winter solstice gifts to each other means promising marriage."

In the north, they only have free time in the winter all year round. The rich people are lucky. It takes three or four years from talking about marriage to getting married. They start talking about marriage at the age of twelve, make an appointment before the age of fifteen, and start marriage at the age of sixteen. You can get married, but most people can complete it in one or two months from the time they talk about getting married to getting married.

Many marriages are held in winter, so that the new daughter-in-law can rest for half the winter after entering the house, and can go to work in the fields after spring.

For the natal family, there is a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and there is an extra gift. It is better to marry a daughter to celebrate the new year. Therefore, the winter solstice provides opportunities for unmarried men and women to meet each other. Join in, and at the end some gentry families will also join in the fun. Of course, they will not be as blatant as ordinary people.

Instead, invite a few acquaintances to hold a "cold relief party". The wives will play with the young ladies. Those who have unmarried daughters will be seen by the wives in charge. Those who are willing will hint that they want the young ladies to draw by themselves. If the other party is also satisfied with the marriage, the woman's mother will take it on her behalf and send a "cold dispelling picture" in a few days. If the painting is not good and other words are prevaricated, everyone naturally understands it.

Although the process of expression is different, the methods are similar.

When the man falls in love with a girl, he will ask the other party to give him a winter solstice gift, anything, even if it is a piece of dry grass that the girl randomly pulls by the side of the road, that means agreeing.

If the girl doesn't agree, she can find an excuse to push it down, and both parties will know what they want.

Although Qi Haoran has only been in Xingzhou Mansion for three years, he obviously knows about this custom, so this kid directly asked Mu Yangling for a winter solstice gift.

The girl Mu Yangling didn't know about this well-known custom, so she gave away things in a daze, and even gave her a leather jacket with her own hands. That boy Qi Haoran couldn't figure out how to laugh now.

Shu Wanniang asked cautiously: "Ah Ling, Haoran is actually a pretty good kid. I don't think General Qi has any objections. Otherwise, just make the mistake and admit it."

Mu Yangling's face was flushed, "Mother, how can you make mistakes in this kind of thing?"

"Then tell me, besides Haoran, who do you want to marry?" Shu Wanniang looked at her daughter seriously, and said, "It's not difficult to cancel this marriage, anyway, the two of you didn't make it through the adult's decision. The old face is to help you get the things back, but you have to think clearly, once the mother gets the things back, it will be impossible for you and Haoran in the future."

Seeing her daughter lowering her eyes, Shu Wanniang sighed and said, "It's not that mother just stares at him, but that among so many people you know, only Haoran and Zijin are the most suitable. The others, not to mention you, are even mother." I don't like you, you are a strong person, after you get married, you are willing to stay in the back house to take care of your in-laws? Except Haoran, who can bear your ambitions?"

"Even Zijin who is usually smiling, he won't allow it, so my child, I really think Haoran is good."

But you can't lie to others.

Mu Yangling felt that this would be Qi Haoran's greatest injustice.

"Mother, this is unfair to Qi Haoran."

Shu Wanniang didn't understand why this would be unfair to Qi Haoran.

"He likes me, but I still don't like him as a man. It's unfair to him emotionally."

Shu Wanniang laughed and said: "Silly boy, feelings can be cultivated. If you don't try it, how do you know you won't like him?"

Shu Wanniang patted her daughter's hand affectionately and said: "Women, it is the happiest to be able to marry someone who loves you and you love yourself. Otherwise, marrying someone who loves you is also a good choice. The reason why my mother agrees. This marriage is because Haoran is a big-hearted child. Although he is usually careless, he knows it in his heart. He can tolerate you to do what you like. This is the greatest happiness. If you are someone else, you think you are married Empress Dowager, is your husband still willing to do whatever you want with such an idea?"

Mu Yangling was silent.

Shu Wanniang's eyes were a little gentle, she looked out of the window with empty eyes, and said softly: "My child, go and try it, maybe you will find that this marriage is very suitable?"

"If you want to talk about estrangement and inconceivability, your father and I are the most impossible. Before I was fifteen, who would have thought that I would marry your father? I am Miss Qianjin, and he is just a hunter in the mountains. People who don’t take a second look, when I was rescued by your father, I thought it would be better to just die. But your father took care of me for a year. He is upright, kind, and gentle. He takes care of me so well, even if He is a rough person in the eyes of outsiders, and I am also happy, I am very glad that I gave myself time at that time, over the years, I think no one in this world will be happier than me."

"It is also because I married your father that I have you, Bowen, Bosi and Kejia. No matter how bitter the later days are, mother will feel that there is sweetness in them, so my child, you should try it too." Try it, try to accept Haoran, give him a chance, and give yourself a chance."

Mu Yangling asked gossipingly: "Mother, Dad doesn't come back several times a year, so don't you regret it now? Are you angry?"

Shu Wanniang shook her head, "I just feel sorry for your father. Except for the days when he goes home, how can he relax? There are 365 days in a year, and 300 days are spent in fear. Mother still hates herself for being useless. , I can’t share it for him.”

The door was suddenly pushed open, startling the two people in the room. Shu Wanniang raised her head and met her husband with shining eyes. She was ecstatic at first, and then flushed with embarrassment. She didn't know how much her husband stood at the door listening,

Mu Shi looked at his wife with piercing eyes, saw that her neck was flushed red, and a smile flashed in her eyes, so he forced himself to look away and focus on his daughter.

Mu Yangling had already stood up and was about to sneak out. Seeing his father looking over, he hurriedly said, "Father, mother is sick, you and mother talk first, and I'll boil water and cook for you."
