Ming Ruo, a concubine-born daughter of a wealthy family, refused to become another man's concubine and resisted an arranged marriage. Her family sent her straight to the countryside to marry Lu Cangye, a rough-and-ready village militiaman.
While other brides married into prestigious families, she married a coarse country bumpkin.
While other brides received generous dowries worth hundreds of taels, she had only two old wooden chests stuffed with fabric and sewing supplies.
Everyone in the village sighed over her miserable fate.
No one could have imagined that, with her exquisite embroidery skills, she would build a happy life for herself.
No melodramatic family feuds, little anguish or heartache. Together, the couple uses every stitch to make their farming life amid the chaos of war warm and prosperous.
It is a long-flowing ancient farming novel, which is very comfortable to read. The heroine Ming Ruo, as a concubine, was unwilling to accept the arranged marriage and resolutely married into the Lu family. She has superb embroidery skills and does not seek to cheat all the way, but to take root in the countryside down-to-earth. She didn't have a golden finger that could easily overwhelm everyone. She knew how to take advantage of others' strength and supported each other with everyone in the Lu family, slowly running a business by reeling silk and weaving. The book is full of fireworks, including spring plowing and planting trees, raising silkworms and reeling silk, preparing for a new house, and full-moon family banquets. The daily life of the farm family is described in detail and realistically. The conflicts between families are also very realistic. Mrs. Lu's narrow-mindedness and stubbornness, the understanding and unity between brothers and sisters-in-law, human nature is not black and white. In the later stage, he will also start a business game with Ming Chengwan. The house fight and the business war go hand in hand, and the conflict gradually unfolds without being abrupt. Readers who prefer slow farming and see a family working together to make life better can read it. Supplement: The writing style is really good.
Recommended recommended recommended. I have to say that the author's writing skills are profound, let alone logic and conception. Just looking at it is smooth and comfortable, and the scenery is described with emotion, which makes people's desire to read continue to deepen. I especially like the dialogue. The part when the heroine is at her parents' home is really cleverly written to capture people's hearts.
This farming text has solid textual research and a logical plot. The heroine Mingruo plans things in a measured way, knows how to draw on strength, knows how to advance and retreat, and has no golden fingers. The livelihood of farmers, ancient rituals and relationships, and the weaving and embroidery business are all written to fit the background of the times. House fights and commercial confrontations are laid out layer by layer without forcibly creating conflicts. If you like rigorous logic and long-running ancient sayings, you can read it.
This novel is like a long stream of water, and it feels very comfortable to read slowly. The calmness of the heroine is very comfortable, and there is no overly exaggerated plot. It just moisturizes and relaxes while reading. . .
The concept is relatively unconventional in approach, from resisting marriage to being married to a village man, it is neither a business nor a disaster, but the result of the uncle's deliberate humiliation (there are indeed such elders in life). Reasonable logic and good writing skills. The author knows how to write, bury the threads, seem like the flow of daily life, and always make you want to see a certain result... The author will write better in the future.
It's pretty good. The plot is grounded and pragmatic, as if it really exists.
It's a nice book. I support the author to keep writing well.
The book is so beautifully written, it's not overwhelming, it's real!
