There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 947|The eighty-sixth dragon scale (2)
The eighty-sixth dragon scale (2)
Although he studied abroad for three years, Chen Qiuwu did not learn those bad habits. He has both the elegance and tenderness of a traditional aristocratic son, as well as the gentleness and thoughtfulness of Western men. He treats the mother who gave birth to him and raised him with all his heart. However, Mrs. Chen is a determined person who refuses to change. No matter how Chen Qiuwu reasoned with her, she insisted on marrying Chen Qiuwu and her chosen daughter-in-law. You can go wherever you want, do whatever you want, and your mother won't stop you.
But there is no emotional foundation, and I heard that the other party is only fifteen years old, what kind of beast must Chen Qiuwu be to be able to do such a thing?
After talking too much, Mrs. Chen cried and wanted to commit suicide, saying that she had no face to face the master under Jiuquan. Chen Qiuwu was troubled by her mother and asked her: "Mother, you said you want to marry me. , can you be sure that other girls are also willing to marry?"
Mrs. Chen immediately said: "That's natural! My son is a dragon and a phoenix, how can a girl not want to marry?"
Seeing her son's tired face, she was also distressed, and she was busy racking her brains to talk about Linglong's goodness: "That girl, you must like that girl! Beautiful girl!"
Chen Qiuwu laughed, he is not good looking, even in foreign countries, his handsome appearance has attracted the pursuit and affection of many women. I think of women in China, and of my mother who stayed at home all her life without going out. Chen Qiuwu felt sorry for them. He disliked the sayings that traditional women were killed with one shot. In his opinion, people can grow up, but they lack an opportunity.
At this time, Chen Qiuwu was young and vigorous, full of ideals and aspirations, and his thoughts were relatively naive.
My mother sent him several telegrams, all asking what kind of girl he likes, but Chen Qiuwu dared not tell her, in fact, he admires women who are slender, plump, healthy and cheerful, not to say that traditional women are not good. It's just that he feels that women who have themselves are more attractive to him.
"That's right!" Mrs. Chen thought of another advantage. She looked at her son triumphantly, "The daughter-in-law I chose for you, she doesn't have her feet bound!"
This time Chen Qiuwu was really shocked: "Is what mother said true? She really doesn't have feet bound?"
He didn't believe it, but his mother was very obsessed with footbinding. He wrote back many times to persuade his mother to let go of her feet, expounding the dangers of footbinding. Unfortunately, Mrs. Chen refused to listen, saying that women in the world If you have foot binding, wouldn't you be a monster if you don't? What an ugly pair of big feet!
Mrs. Chen was not satisfied that Linglong didn't have her feet bound, but when she saw her son's surprise, she became complacent, and felt more and more that this daughter-in-law had chosen the right one: "That's natural, why can't my mother lie to you? If you don't believe me, Come and see your Yue's house!"
Chen Qiuwu asked, "Why didn't she bind her feet, was she unwilling, or was her family unwilling?"
Mrs. Chen said: "Your mother-in-law told me that this girl in their family has been pampered since she was a child, and she was born with a cute jade snow when she was young, so the couple are reluctant to let her hurt, and it will be too late if they wait a little bit older. , your mother-in-law is regretting it, thinking about not binding her feet and finding her in-law's family."
Chen Qiuwu smiled. He didn't have a favorite woman in his heart, and his mother's attitude was here. Unless he forced his mother to death, he would definitely marry him. So how to get along with each other is very important. Listen Said that the girl's parents loved her and were reluctant to bind her feet. Chen Qiuwu felt that the girl raised by her parents' love must have her own ideas. In any case, he still had to meet his fiancée first and ask her what she thought about the marriage.
If she is willing to marry, then he will marry her. If she is unwilling to marry, he can also help her without harming her reputation. Even if she wants to, he can introduce her to study in Shanghai, and his daughter's house will read more These books are always right, and if you read more to broaden your horizons, you will know how beautiful, how broad, and how desirable the world is.
Therefore, Chen Qiuwu did not refuse.
Mrs. Chen saw that as soon as he heard that his fiancee didn't have feet bound, she was happy to see it, and she was glad that she didn't choose the girl from the Gao family. People sigh. Aren't small feet good-looking? Those big feet are ugly!
Chen Qiuwu took the gift prepared by her mother and came to visit in person.
Mrs. Yan was scolding a pair of children in the house. When she heard that her son-in-law was coming, she hurriedly invited someone in.
Although the Yan family is not as big as the Chen family, they do not have to worry about food and clothing, and there are servants to serve. Chen Qiuwu noticed that the female servants of the Yan family also had their feet bound, and they walked tremblingly. The older mother had to stop and rest after walking for a while. It is no wonder that women are delicate and feudal. Society and outdated cumbersome rules stifle their nature.
When I was studying before, there was a debate in the school about "why men are far more successful than women, and whether it is because men are smarter", Chen Qiuwu chose the opposite side, he did not think that women are inherently weaker than women Men are only imprisoned early by the restrictions of the times. From ancient times to the present, there have been countless heroes among women. If women are as free as men, they must be able to produce achievements that are not inferior to men.
His wish is for all women to wake up, for the rise of the country, for everyone to be happy, and to have the right to choose their own lives.
In foreign words, we must pursue democracy, pursue freedom, and pursue our own will.
Linglong hides behind the curtain. With Mrs. Yan's character, she will definitely not let her meet her fiancé. It is said that it is unreasonable. How can there be a fiancé who meets before marriage? In Mrs. Yan's words, when she married Master Yan, she didn't know what her husband looked like until the wedding night!
Long Long:...
She was too lazy to speak.
However, even through the curtain, I can see that Chen Qiuwu was born very handsome and has an outstanding temperament. Because he returned to China, he did not wear shirts and trousers when he went to the countryside, but he wore a blue long gown, which made him more slender and slender. It is tall and straight, like green bamboo and pines, showing a sense of integrity. When talking to Mrs. Yan, she didn't dislike Mrs. Yan's petite family, and she was not picky about her self-cultivation and manners. Linglong thought about Mrs. Yan's words and felt that some of her words were true.
In this small place, a generation of writers like Chen Qiuwu can be born, it is really a lifetime of smoke from the ancestral grave. If you don't marry Chen Qiuwu, you will not be able to find someone more gentle and tolerant than him.
An excellent man such as Chen Qiuwu, who has read poetry and books, is brilliant, has drank foreign ink, has a wealthy family, and still has pity for women, but those who are not as good as him still lie all day long with their mouths open and waiting to eat Waiting for a woman to serve you—that's right, Linglong said it was her father and her brother.
People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.
Chen Qiuwu was a little regretful that he couldn't see his fiancée. He tentatively asked Mrs. Yan, the girl of the Yan family's thoughts on the engagement. When Mrs. Yan heard it, the eldest young master of the Chen family seemed to mean to terminate the engagement? Immediately anxious, that's not possible! He immediately described Linglong as a non-monarch who did not marry, and said that if Chen Qiuwu refused to want Linglong, Linglong would be disobedient, and he would have to commit suicide to maintain his family's reputation! He almost knelt down and begged Chen Qiuwu not to break the engagement, so scared that Chen Qiuwu quickly helped her up, repeatedly saying that he had no intention of breaking the engagement.
The corners of Linglong's mouth twitched. She felt that if her mother continued to toss, she would be scared to death for a young talent and a future writer.
She opened the curtain and walked out: "Mother!"
The maids and mothers didn't have time to hold their young ladies, and they all turned pale!
When Mrs. Yan heard her daughter's voice, she quickly turned her head: "Long'er, how did you come out?!"
Linglong said: "I won't come out again, I'm afraid my mother will scare my fiance away."
The moment Linglong opened the curtain and came out, Chen Qiuwu's eyes lit up!
She is different from the kind of quiet, graceful and unspeakable boudoir girl he imagined. What made Chen Qiuwu feel the most throbbing, what made him unforgettable at first sight was not her beautiful face. It's those dazzling eyes!
Filled with spirit! vitality! Playful!
It's like when he was looking at oil paintings in foreign galleries, he saw free and innocent girls on the oil paintings, but the real ones were more pleasant than the girls in the paintings, just looking at her, he couldn't help laughing !
Mrs. Yan was almost fainted by her daughter's bold words: "Go back, go back! Don't talk nonsense! This, this son-in-law, don't dislike it, this girl made me and her father spoiled, you can Don't..."
The rest of Mrs. Yan's sentence was stuck in her throat, because no matter how she looked at it, her son-in-law's eyes didn't look like disgust and displeasure. How should I put it, Mrs. Yan felt that although it was her own Home, but she seems to be superfluous. She feels that she should not appear here, and should hide under the table so that the two young people can continue to look at each other.
Linglong has her hands behind her back. She doesn't wear old-fashioned dresses at home. She was forced by her mother to wear them that day. She said that Mrs. Chen likes a well-behaved girl. Her protest was invalid. It was a skirt that I had improved by myself. Although it was still tightly concealed, it did not reveal anything, but it fit the curve of the body very well, showing all the softness of the girl.
Chen Qiuwu is not a lecherous person either. He doesn't like old-fashioned dresses. He thinks that those kinds of clothes are like chastity arches, covering up women's self. There are even people abroad who wear bikinis to show themselves generously. It's a pity that his mother didn't like the dress he brought back from abroad, and she refused to wear it.
The two looked at each other for a long time, until Linglong laughed: "You came to see me, but you brought me a gift? I heard that foreigners have a lot of fun, but I have never seen them before."
Chen Qiuwu really brought it to her.
His handsome face was slightly red, and he took out a small brocade box from his pocket. This is a ring he prepared for his future wife. Although Western-style weddings are not popular in China, he was deeply influenced by new ideas and bought a pair. Platinum pair ring, but if his fiancee doesn't like it, he won't take it out.
"Mom, will you go out first?"
Mrs. Yan: ?
"Forget it, let me go out." Linglong invited Chen Qiuwu, "Want to go out for a walk? My garden is well-kept."
Mrs. Yan:! ! !
How can there be such an unrestrained girl's family!
She really wanted to cover her daughter's mouth and drag her back, but when she turned her head, the eldest young master of the Chen family, who was polite but seemed very alienated before, was full of smiles at this meeting! No, Mrs. Yan doesn't understand that. Is the aesthetics so different from theirs who have stayed abroad? She was originally worried that her daughter didn't bind her feet, and the two of them would be disliked by the young master of the Chen family when they went out together!
But no matter how you look at it now, it doesn't seem like disgust, the two little ones are obviously looking at each other!
Mrs. Yan: ...I don't understand, I really don't understand.
As Linglong said, the Yan family's garden is really well maintained. Chen Qiuwu is a gentle gentleman. He asked Linglong if he has any other thoughts on this marriage contract. If so, please make sure to tell him clearly, he will spare no effort to help her.
Although he doesn't think it's wrong for a woman to break an engagement, he still has to pay attention to her reputation.
New ideas also need to be accepted by others. In a place like the countryside, no matter what the name is, he refuses to marry her. In the eyes of others, it is the fault of the woman.
Because men can't make mistakes.
Linglong said: "I'm willing to marry you. Could it be that you have a passionate girl you like abroad, so you don't want to marry me?"
Chen Qiuwu said quickly: "It's not like that."
"What's that?"
She tilted her head and looked at him, with a charming smile, full of aura, and Chen Qiuwu was full of joy. He thought that his future wife would be a graceful and old-fashioned woman, but he didn't expect it to be so clever, so she didn't bring it with her. So much hope, so when he found that she was several times better than expected, the whole person was happy. "I am also willing to marry you, but you are sure, do you want to marry me? You are still too young, maybe you will regret marrying so early when you grow up in the future."
Linglong said: "No, anyway, if I don't marry, your mother and my mother will not agree, didn't you come back because of this?"
The future great writer was instantly heartbroken.
Linglong raised her head to look at him, Chen Qiuwu was seven years older than her, very tall, about 1.8 meters, but she was still very slender and petite, "I also want to see what the outside world is like, I don't want to. Stay here forever, can you take me with you when you leave?"
Chen Qiuwu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Of course."
He didn't intend to keep her at all. If he got married or married, he would naturally take her away, take her to see the outside, and let her see more scenery. After getting married and leaving his wife at home, what kind of man is that?
"Then we're done with that?" Linglong reached out, "Pull the hook."
Chen Qiuwu is used to handshake etiquette in the West, but when he touched the delicate and white fingers of the girl, his heart beat like thunder, which made him clearly realize that the "love at first sight" described in the original literature is not empty talk , he also felt the call and throbbing of love, which made him feel infinite joy, and the resistance to this marriage gradually disappeared without a trace.
After the two finished pulling the hook, he took out the female ring from the small brocade box and put it on Linglong solemnly, "This is a token of love that has arisen abroad, I will treat you well and will not disappoint you. "
Linglong raised her hand to take a look, her little hand was white and delicate, she smiled at Chen Qiuwu: "Okay."
The two circled the garden again. That afternoon Chen Qiuwu returned home with a smile on his face, and Mrs. Chen's heart in mid-air also fell. She was afraid that her son would not accept the marriage. , I went home and reasoned with myself again. Seeing that Chen Qiuwu was in a happy mood, I felt relieved.
Chen Qiuwu told his mother that he wanted to take his wife away.
Although Mrs. Chen is old-fashioned, she is not a ruthless person. His wife should stay by her husband's side and serve. The reason why she said that Chen Qiuwu would be a pro and go by herself, and do whatever she wanted, was because Chen Qiuwu was If he refuses to accept this marriage, since he is willing to accept it, it is naturally the best.
It's too long and dreamy, and Chen Qiuwu's vacation is not long, so Mrs. Chen invited Mrs. Yan to discuss the marriage, hoping to do it as soon as possible.
Mrs. Yan couldn't ask for more!
She is really afraid that her daughter will be exposed and the Chen family will return it! It's better to marry off the daughter when the son-in-law is willing!
So the two sides reached an agreement, and it happened that half a month later, it would be a good day, so the date was set.
On the day of marriage, people who had contact with the Yan family and girls of the same age in the family came to add makeup to Linglong. Mrs. Chen doesn't like Western-style weddings. How can anyone wear white at weddings? It's too frustrating and unlucky! Getting married naturally has to follow the rules of the ancestors, so Linglong was called to get up early in the morning, and she was at the mercy of her, and she could sleep while sitting.
The delicate little face is flawless, and the mother who put on her makeup doesn't know how to make the bride more beautiful. When the time comes, young girls come in. Although they are not very familiar with Linglong, they are auspicious people. Everyone would say that Gao was also there.
Gao kept frowning.
There is no other reason, Linglong is so disrespectful!
How can a bride be so casual and unruly as she is? To actually lift the hijab and talk to them? And that pair of celestial feet is really unpleasant to see, until now, Gao does not understand where Yan is better than himself! Such a woman who has no foot binding and no rules, has no gentleness of a lady, how can she be attracted by Mrs. Chen?
Chen Qiuwu often accompanies Mrs. Chen when he comes back, and Mrs. Gao has seen him once. The young man was so beautiful and gentle as jade. He wore a long gown on his body, which made people seem to have seen an ancient poem. Young Master Pian Pian Jia described in the book, Chen family conditions are so good, Young Master Chen is another talent, Gao really doesn't understand, why Mrs. Chen chose Yan as her daughter-in-law!
She also became more and more remorseful. She had known that she should not have eaten half a bowl of sweet soup in the morning, which caused her abdominal pain to cramp. It must be because she had to go to the toilet after sitting for a while, which made Mrs. Chen unhappy.
Otherwise, the young grandma of the Chen family should be her!
Lost the young master of the Chen family, and see each other again, even if the family is wealthy, they can't compare to the Chen family. Gao's heart is helpless, and he only hopes that his parents can find a better son-in-law for him, which is better than his own age. Not married yet.
It's just that the more I think of Young Master Chen, the more unwilling I feel in my heart. I always feel that Linglong stole my good marriage, so I don't deal with Linglong more and more.
It's a pity that Linglong only cares about being sleepy and doesn't care about her at all.
You said that you hated Chen Qiuwu very much in your previous life, resenting him for betraying you and harming your life, this time back to the beginning, she, the biggest benevolent dragon in the barren sea, has fulfilled your wish from the beginning, so that you can come again Well, it's okay if you don't say thank you, and you still hate her?
If it wasn't for Chen Qiuwu to welcome her relatives, Linglong would simply want to teach Gao to be a man.
After Chen Qiuwu went to study, he cut his braids and kept his hair short. Today, he is wearing a red dress, and he looks more and more like a jade tree. When others see it, they secretly envy that Miss Yan's family can get such a good husband. After the marriage, the husband will go abroad, but the status of the main family is unshakable. After worshipping the family tree, the Miss Yan family is the sure-footed young grandma of the Chen family! If I had a son and a half daughter again, would I still have to worry about it for the rest of my life?
Chen Qiuwu entered the bridal room and ushered the bride out. Mrs. Gao stood aside, seeing Chen Qiuwu smiling from beginning to end, she didn't seem to dislike him at all for marrying a woman who didn't have bound feet, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.
She knew in her heart that she missed him, but she inevitably felt regret. She imagined how good it would be if she was such a good man.
Chen Qiuwu felt the little hand under the palm of his hand suddenly dig at him, the corner of his mouth couldn't help laughing, and then asked her in a low voice, "Are you okay? Can you eat something in the morning?"
He heard that brides are not allowed to eat in the morning.
Linglong also replied in a low voice, "I stole the dim sum, but my mother didn't find it."
Chen Qiuwu smiled, he felt that some of the rules were really unreasonable, and there was no way that the bride would not be allowed to eat, but Mrs. Chen insisted that he would not say much, so as not to irritate the mother and toss the bride again.
The two arrived at Chen's house and worshipped the heavens and the earth. Mrs. Chen finally fulfilled a long-cherished wish. In the future, she would no longer have to worry about her son's failure to get married. She was very fortunate that she had chosen a daughter-in-law who had no foot binding by mistake. With the character of a son, he might not necessarily agree to the marriage so readily!
However, in the troubled bridal room, Chen Qiuwu insisted on rejecting it. He was not happy with the groom and the bride eating the same apple and the groom taking off the bride's wedding dress in the dark. Care, anyway, not allowed to make a bridal chamber.
But it is still necessary to go out to toast. The Chen family has a large clan and many clan members, and many elders have to pay respects. After all, he will not be at home in the future, and his mother will have to rely on the help of the clan for anything.
Before he left, he explained to the servants in the new room and asked them to bring some food in. I wonder if she would like it.
There was only one person left in the new room, Linglong immediately lifted the hijab and threw it aside, grabbed the complicated wedding dress, left the bed, and sat down at the table.
Chen Qiuwu's mind is delicate and gentle, and all the food that people bring to you is delicious. Linglong scooped a small wonton into her mouth, and the frightening flick of her teeth burst into an amazing fragrance. She squinted her eyes contentedly, After eating a small bowl of wontons, I took a fancy to the stack of mung bean cakes on the side.
