Recommended pre-collection article "The Daily Life of the Clan Women in the Southern Song Dynasty" The daily life of the sideline daughter of a noble family and the sick and picky idle family member Copywriting of this article: When Chen Yuanniang was born, her father was demoted from the county magistrate to a commoner, and she also transformed from a noble lady into a peasant girl, doing hard work cutting grass and herding cattle since she was a child. Even the wedding ceremony between the fingertips was silent. The family's grain tank was bottomed out, and while Yuanniang was scolded by Grandma for being a loser, she was driven to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. Fortunately, she has the sharpest eyes and can pick the most wild vegetables every time. But as luck would have it, she no longer had to dig wild vegetables! Because someone in the fiancé's family who is already a wealthy family has broken off the engagement! ! The generous friendship, countless boxes and boxes of apology, and even her family's former ancestral house, this is not called annulment, it is clearly the God of Wealth who has come to enlighten her. But it also aroused the jealousy of the whole village, and people who came to seek marriage for money crossed the threshold. Her grandma glanced at her granddaughter, who was as beautiful as a flower, and her young grandson, who had reached the age of enlightenment, and gritted her teeth and made a decision. "Move! Move!" The whole family quickly went to Bianjing, the busiest and most prosperous city in the world, and lived in a small courtyard with shops on the street, and lived like ordinary people in the market. Small theater one: The morning dew was thick, and the smoke from the steamer was curling up on the stove. Grandma and Grandma were kneading dough to make steamed cakes in the shop. As for Yuan Niang... She rolled up her sleeves and was about to help with the work, when Ah Nai slapped her mercilessly, causing rouge-colored red marks to appear on her fair arms. Grandma's shrill voice filled the whole room, "You have no brains. How can a good young lady show off her arms and legs, even if she wants to get married? Does the family expect you to earn these three melons and two dates?" Aniang, who was docile by nature, rubbed her wounds silently. "Buy two pairs of bright clothes." Grandma threw down the heavy small purse and continued angrily, "Finding a good husband is the most important thing." Yuan Niang was not annoyed at all, she just stuffed the money bag into her cuffs, nodded like a squirrel, and pretended to be nice to her grandma. The younger brother who was studying at school said with a straight face: "Sister, don't worry, I will study hard and earn a living for you and my mother in high school. I won't rely on outsiders to shine on my family." Small Theater 2: The family members were too outstanding, so Yuan Niang had no choice but to take her small purse and hang out with the neighborhood ladies all day long in tile houses and teahouses, eating, drinking, watching the excitement, and looking for a good son-in-law. She seemed to be a native lady of Bianjing City. Chen Yuanniang soon set her sights on a handsome scholar from a well-off family. He often came to the family shop to buy steamed cakes, and his eyes were always fixed on her. She pretended to be shy, and from time to time she would look up her beautiful face and ask for advice on calligraphy, making the other person completely smitten. Therefore, there are fresh things in front of her small door every day, sometimes it is rouge, sometimes it is pastry, sometimes it is pearl flowers... One day I added a lantern. The young lady in the neighborhood teased her, "The Lantern Festival is a day when young gentlemen and young ladies in Bianjing express their feelings to each other. I'm afraid your scholar will invite you out to see the lanterns and express your feelings. Don't be shy, I have seen it for you. He is generous, so he must have a well-off family and a handsome man..." "You are lucky." The little lady said with a smile while being chased by Yuan Niang. Sure enough, after the Lantern Festival, the two became more and more affectionate. Until the scholar revealed his identity and wanted to come to propose marriage, and it was revealed that the matchmaker was getting married, Chen Yuanniang froze on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning. Isn't that the home of her fiancé who broke off the engagement... Note: 1. Ignore the Song Dynasty without any research 2. The younger brother traveled through time in modern times and took the imperial examination route (the heroine and younger brother were siblings in the previous generation, so no matter their psychological age in this life, there is still blood suppression) 3. The heroine is really looking for a husband and casts a wide net. The hero happens to be the king of fish, so he stands out. 4. In essence, it is a daily flow of eating, drinking and being a group favorite. Some are taking imperial examinations, others are supporting the family, and the heroine is responsible for being happy. 5. Grandma is a good grandma! ! ! Recommend the author's follow-up article "Daily Life in Bianjing" Copywriting: It is said that in ancient times, in feudal society, women could only stay with one person until the end. Those who did not leave the front door and did not step back would commit suicide if someone looked at their arms. Only after Xu Cen'er traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty did she realize that these were all stereotypes. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was common for widows to remarry. Prime ministers and high-ranking officials would chase after wealthy widows to marry them, and even the second queen would marry more than one queen. In the prosperous Bianjing, women often go to work, and it is the custom for wealthy families to hire cooks. As it happens, her mother is a widow and a skilled cook. She makes banquets in wealthy families and earns a lot of money. Her father, who died early, left behind a large house located next to the Bianjingzhou Bridge, which can be called a courtyard house in the modern city center. Xu Cen'er just followed her mother in and out of the wealthy mansion to make banquets and help out. From time to time, she ate the best-tasting cherry pancakes secretly given to her by her mother-in-law, and listened to the gossips of the maids. She plans to inherit her mother's craftsmanship in the future. She can work as a cook, and when she leaves, she can free up a few rooms to collect rent, and live a happy life. However, one day, her mother asked her to have a heart-to-heart talk with a serious look on her face. "I'm going to remarry." Well, this is grandma's freedom. Xu Cen'er supports it, but she has to look at the other person's character. "He is a writer from the Ministry of Secretaries. He is an eighth-grade official. Although he is a bit poor and has good food, he still has an official status. "You know, I married to find you a father. " Xu Cen'er was confused, why did she get involved again? But her mother acted vigorously and resolutely. Not only did she get married quickly, but she also took advantage of her father's official position to seize a son-in-law for her and lured a young scholar from other places into her. Although the young Jinshi passed the imperial examination and became a disciple of the emperor, he neither attracted much attention nor could he make money by going outside. He only worked as a school clerk in the secretarial department and could not even afford a small house near the Bianjing city wall. Regarding this meeting, Xu Cen'er was passive and sabotaged. Every Jinshi gentleman she had ever seen had their nostrils turned upward, so she didn't want to suffer the consequences. Until we meet... The young and handsome Jinshi blushed as soon as he saw her. The man in front of the palace who was still answering the emperor fluently was stammering and holding his hands, not knowing how to speak softly without disturbing her. And when Xu Cen'er took a quick look, she was tall, elegant and handsome. With the appearance of the person in front of her, it was not impossible to live in her house... Purpose: Try to live a good life
