The ancestral teachings of the Cui family: "The daughter-in-law of the Cui family, as a wife, serves her husband to maintain the family business; as the mother, she teaches her children to carry on the family business; as the wife, she stabilizes the family and consolidates the foundation. The son of the Cui family, as a son, is filial to his parents to pass on the family tradition; as a husband, he maintains harmony between husband and wife to support the family business; as a father, he teaches his children and grandchildren to be righteous."
Lin Xinian is the youngest daughter of Lin Gengtian and his step-sibling Zhao. She has been deeply loved and doted on by the couple because of her pink and jade carvings since she was a child. Because she has known the Cui family in Yanbei since she was a child, she has made up her mind to marry into the Cui family. However, the marriage of the children is determined by "the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents", how can it be as she wishes? Cui Lingjian, the only son of the sixth house of the Cui family, lost two of his daughters-in-law one after another. Cui Lingjian's mother, Tang, went to matchmaker Zhen's family three times, hoping to hire a healthy, child-bearing woman from an innocent family background to be Cui Lingjian's wife.
Purpose: By describing the relationship and daily life of Lin Xinian and Cui Lingbian, especially Lin Xinian's gradual growth in the Cui family, to express the responsibility shown by the Cui family.
