Chapter 66 Rem and Disappointment
When Ding's mother thought about this, her face became ugly and said faintly, "Is Yuan Ben a fatherless and motherless person? If something happens at home in the future, won't there be no one to help? Can only the two of them work hard on their own?
Matchmaker Zheng still politely accompanied her with a smiling face, without any contempt or impatience. She explained attentively, "This is said again. Can there really be a perfect thing in the world? If he hadn't been able to rely on himself since he was a child, he could have been so good and work so hard now? I want to say that as long as he is capable and ambitious, this man can get married!"
Ding's mother frowned slightly and said lightly, "I really can't make the decision on this matter. I have to wait for my eldest daughter to come back and ask her what she means."
Zheng's matchmaker smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Ding, look at what you said. Isn't the marriage of children all the words of parents' life matchmakers? How can you ask your child what he means? Isn't it a joke?"
Ding's mother didn't mind the meaning of Zheng's mother-in-law's words. She shook her head calmly and said bluntly, "My family's situation is different from that of other families. You know that my family is holding up the page now, so we have to make her comfortable first, otherwise our family will not have a good life."
Of course, Ding's mother's words are exaggerated, which is also what she understands in her heart that Yuan Ben is not a good match, and I guess Ding's page will not want it, so it's better to put ugly words in front of Zheng's matchmaker.
Zheng's matchmaker nodded and said, "Well, I'll come and have a look in a few days. You can ask your eldest girl what she means first. To be honest, Yuan Ben is really a good boy. He will have a bright future in the future. If your eldest girl follows him, she will definitely be blessed in the future.
Ding's mother reluctantly squeezed out a smile on her face and politely sent Zheng's matchmaker out of the door.
God knows how angry she is!
What's the use of Yuan Ben no matter how capable he is? Not to mention the death of his parents and no siblings, he is a subordinate of Hao Mansion, which makes Ding's mother dissatisfied. Although the dynasty did not legislate that slaves are not worthy of good people, those who sell themselves to slaves are shameless.
Of course, Hao's mansion is different from other mansions. Hao's family has a big career and the treatment is really good. If you put it in an ordinary small family, you will really think it is a good marriage. However, Ding's mother vaguely felt that this marriage would definitely not be in the eyes of Ding Page.
In the afternoon, Ding Page and Xiaohu finally came back, and all the tofu flowers made at noon were also sold out. In the past two days, the business seemed to be getting better and better, and both of them had an unconcealed smile on their faces.
Ding's mother waited in the outside shop early. When she saw Ding's page coming back, she said to her, "Put down the things first. I have something to tell you."
Ding Niazi looked at her mother's look quite serious, as if it was an important matter. He hurriedly put the poles and buckets on his shoulders next to the well in the yard. They would be washed later, and then followed Ding's mother and walked to the east room.
Xiaohu was very sensible. He did not follow Ding Page into the house, but stayed in the yard and slowly washed the bucket basins and other things used today.
"Sit down." Ding's mother sat down on the edge of the bed, patted the position next to her, and asked Ding to sit down.
Ding Page sat obediently next to Ding's mother and asked with a smile, "Mom, what's the matter? Look at you so serious."
Ding Page did not say the scenes that let Ding's mother make her own decisions. At present, everything in this family is still based on her ideas, and Ding's mother will ask her what she means about the big things.
"That's the case," Ding's mother said slowly, "Today, another matchmaker came to our family, and I'm still a matchmaker for you. The boy is a servant under the housekeeper of Hao's house. It is said that his parents have died and there are no sisters, but he is not bad. He is smart and reliable. Therefore, Hao's housekeeper is preparing to report to the masters and promote him to his position. I'm afraid he will also be a good master in the future. What do you think?"
After saying that, Ding's mother carefully observed Ding's face to see what she meant.
Ding Page is speechless when he hears it. What kind of media is this for her? There is no reliable one! Is her page now in the eyes of the matchmakers, in the eyes of the world, can only match these unreliable people?
Of course, she doesn't mean that orphans are not good. Orphans also have the difficulties of orphans themselves! She was an orphan in her previous life, and she had to work hard and fight for everything by herself. Even when you encounter failure and setbacks, you can only carry it alone, drop your teeth and swallow blood. No one can help you, or even anyone can comfort you.
She has tasted those bitterness and pains, so if possible, she doesn't want to live that kind of life in her life.
"Mom," Ding Page looked at Ding's mother complainingly, "What do you think of this marriage?"
Ding Page's expression is so clear that if Ding's mother doesn't understand it, it will be in vain for so many years.
She immediately straightened her face and said bluntly, "Of course it's not good! If you really follow such a person, if something happens at home in the future, you don't even have a helper, how will you live? Without the elders in front of them, it's difficult for the young couple to live a good life! The world always says that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is difficult, but if there is no mother-in-law, the day will definitely be more sad. As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, it is a treasure, which makes sense.
Ding Page nod, which is almost the same.
"That mother, do you mean to refuse?" Ding Page asked tentatively.
Ding's mother nodded repeatedly, "No. At that time, I told the matchmaker that the marriage was not easy, and she asked me to ask you again what you meant. Well, you really didn't agree.
Looking at Ding's mother's serious and serious appearance, Ding Baizi laughed in his heart. After being with Ding's mother for so long, she doesn't know what kind of person Ding's mother is. What kind of matchmaker begged her to ask, it was clear that she thought it was okay.
But it's not bad. Ding's mother now knows what she means. She takes care of her feelings and doesn't make the decision for her privately. That's good, and she can't ask too much for anything else.
Ding Xiaozi reached out and held Ding's mother's hand and said with a faint smile, "Mom, I also know that I'm a little old now. It's not as easy to find a mother-in-law's family as those young sisters, but in addition to Xiaohu, only me and Rou'er are sisters. If I don't get married well, it will inevitably affect my mother's family. It will affect the reputation of Rouer in the future. May I ask, if I marry a little man, which one is willing to treat Rou'er kindly? Do you think so? This is not a separate matter. Let's start the whole body.
Although Ding Page is a little serious about the situation, it is not unreasonable.
When Ding's mother heard the words, she thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized it. She patted her thigh and said, "Look at my old lady, I'm confused. I haven't figured it clearly as your child."
Ding Xiaozi smiled and said, "Mom, if you care, you will be confused."
In this way, Ding's mother also has a number in her heart, and has subjectively rejected the marriage that Zheng's mother-in-law said.
At night, Ding Xiaozi and Ding Rou lay down and rested. Ding Rou was very concerned about the progress of today's matchmaking, so she asked in a low voice, "Sister, are you asleep?"
Ding Page just turned off the light and lay down. There was no reason why he fell asleep immediately, so he answered, "Not yet, Rou'er, what's the matter?"
Ding Rou nodded her chin and remembered that Ding Yi was sleeping on the other end. She couldn't see her movements at all, so she said, "Well, there is something I want to ask you, but I don't know if I should ask."
"What else can we sisters ask? You want to say something, but just say it." Ding Page said as if he didn't care, but he clocked up in his heart and began to speculate on Ding Rou's meaning.
Ding Rou gritted her teeth, and her heart was crossed. She whispered, "Sister, isn't there a matchmaker in our family to match you today? How's it going? Did my mother tell you what's going on?
In other words, Ding Rou is different from her. Ding Rou is an authentic ancient little jasper. She knows that marriage is decided by her parents, and she can't do it at all. Of course, she is a modern freak, which is another matter.
But now Ding Rou actually took the initiative to ask about the progress of her marriage. What does it mean? Is it possible that the little sister can't stand the desire to get married?
Ding Niazi pondered for a while and decided to tell her the truth, "My mother has told me that I didn't agree, so I gave up."
Ding Rou immediately asked, "Why? Is it possible that he has a bad brain again?
Ding Zizi said, "Of course not, but it's almost the same. It's a deceased parent. There are no brothers and sisters, and he is also Hao's little brother. I'm afraid it will be good in the future."
"Oh, it's like this. That can't be accepted." Ding Rou's disappointed tone was undisguised.
Thinking about Ding Rou, Ding Rou is already fourteen years old. There are many girls of the same age as their sisters on the whole street. It can be said that almost 70% of them have had a good marriage, but only the two sisters have not been decided yet.
Although Ding Rou is just old enough to talk about marriage, as long as her eldest sister is not married for a day, Ding Rou will have to delay another day and can't think about marriage at all.
Alas... Thinking about it this way, it is no wonder that Ding Rou will care and be disappointed. A woman, don't you just want to marry a good father-in-law? She is now blocking Ding Rou's future, and it's no wonder she feels uncomfortable.
I have to say that Ding Rou's character has really changed a lot, much softer than before. If this matter is put aside before, Ding Page has no doubt that Ding Rou will be the first to mock her when she hears her refuse another marriage, rather than just a faint melancholy.
