[Comprehensive] Tragedy Subversion

Cui Yingying was stunned for a while before asking: "Then why don't you go home, your parents will always protect you."

Unexpectedly, Mother Wu said: "After I went out that day, my parents said that I died of a sudden illness. How can a dead person go back?"

Cui Yingying turned pale with shock: "You are living well, why did your parents do this?"

Mother Wu shook her head and sighed, "Young lady, I don't know. It would be extremely shameful for someone to have a promiscuous daughter. If I did such a thing, if it spread, not only would I lose face to my parents, but I would also lose face." It will bring disaster to the lintel, and even the clan members will be implicated, making the whole family ashamed. There are brothers, nephews, and nieces in my family. Who would marry such a family? Even if my parents can persuade my brothers and sisters , but the tribe will not agree with them to do so. My parents have no choice but to do so for the sake of the whole family."

Cui Yingying was surprised and said: "No matter what, your parents' behavior is too much. Is reputation more important than your life?"

Madam Wu said seriously: "That's right. If a woman loses a good reputation, it's worse than death. Anyone who sees her will have to point fingers. It's a pity that I understand it too late, so it's like this. Pity my parents I gave birth to me and raised me, but I didn’t learn well, so I can’t repay them for their kindness in this life.” Then she began to cry, but she didn’t dare to cry in front of her master, so that she couldn’t cry. Look so pitiful.

When Cui Yingying saw her, she couldn't help being quite shocked, she was stunned for a long time, and then asked: "Is it true that men and women are not allowed to fall in love with each other in this world?"

Mother Wu shook her head and said: "I thought the same way before, and felt that the world was too unreasonable. Later, I realized that marriage is a good marriage. Marriage is not just about men and women. It's a matter of two people, but a matter of two families."

Cui Yingying asked: "Why do you say that?"

Mother Wu said: "Miss, think about it carefully, which girl and son did not grow up under the protection of their parents and family? If they are separated from their parents and family, let alone rich clothes and fine food, servants and maidservants, it is the capital of survival." It is extremely difficult. Since I have enjoyed all the conveniences provided by my parents and family, I am indebted to my parents and family, so why should I not obey the arrangements of my parents and family?"

Cui Yingying was silent for a long time, before asking after a while: "Should I sacrifice everything for the family?"

Mother Wu said: "It depends on what the family wants of you. In short, even if you can't add luster to your parents and family, at least you can't shame them."

Cui Yingying was speechless, and said to Lin An'an for a long time: "My daughter has a lot of feelings after hearing what Mama Wu said. Mama Wu is very knowledgeable. Why don't mother lend Mama Wu to her daughter?"

Lin Anan smiled and said: "It's good if you understand. Your father is in a high position, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him. People like us must never make mistakes. Otherwise, I'm afraid not only the lintel will be ruined, but I'm afraid that there will never be any mistakes in the future." There is no peace. I also know that I was too lenient to you in the past, so that you were ignorant of the world. Now I suddenly let you know, I am afraid that you will not be able to accept it for a while. Anyway, you go back and think about it."

Cui Yingying took Mother Wu back with full of thoughts.Mother Wu took the opportunity of serving to explain the taboos to Cui Yingying.

Cui Yingying is not a fool, it's just that she didn't know the world before.Hearing what Mama Wu said, although it was hard to accept, she also understood that there are some things that cannot be done.Thinking of the jokes the matchmaker told her in the past, and thinking of Lin Anan's actions today, he quickly understood Lin Anan's subtext, and immediately dispelled the girlish thoughts a lot.Originally, he thought about asking Lin An'an to intercede in a few days, and even asked Hong Niang to come back to serve him, but now he doesn't think so anymore.

The six maids who were picked up by Sun's mother to serve Cui Yingying were all maids who had been in the mansion for many years but failed to make it to the top.

They originally thought that there would be no chances in this life, but suddenly a big pie fell from the sky and it happened to fall into their hands?All of a sudden, it was a surprise.When I heard Mama Sun's teachings, I immediately followed them as a standard and followed them.

Cui Yingying saw that the six maidservants were all capable, but they were not talkative, keeping the boundaries between master and servant, so she couldn't help but think of what the matchmaker did in the past.Comparing the two, why did the matchmaker look like a maid?

Cui Yingying later also took the opportunity to ask the close maid that Wu's mother called. Wu's mother sighed at the time and said: "It's all because I don't know people well. How can a maid be good? She only wants to climb up. Later I heard that she became my cousin's concubine and gave birth to a son. Later, alas." She shook her head and said nothing.

Cui Yingying was very curious, and hurriedly asked: "Good mother, just tell me, what's the matter?"

Mother Wu's face was very ugly, and she said: "That maid has a lot of thoughts, how can being a concubine satisfy her ambitions? She wants to occupy the family business, and in order to achieve her goal, she even poisoned and murdered the mistress' son."

Cui Yingying was taken aback, with a horrified look on her face, she hurriedly asked: "What happened later, did she succeed?"

Mother Wu said: "If she didn't succeed, it wouldn't spread the word. The mistress is also the daughter of a high-ranking official. She was raised with gold and jade, and she didn't know the world. Seeing that the maid was respectful to her, and she was very obedient on weekdays, she actually I thought she was a good person, so I didn't take precautions against her. When my son died, I didn't find anything wrong. It was because the maid did something to her later that she was lingering in the bed, so I was a little suspicious. She told my cousin, but But my cousin didn't believe it, and said that the servant girl has always been gentle, she would definitely not do such a thing, she must be jealous of the servant girl and wanted to frame her."

Cui Yingying was very angry: "Why is this man so stupid?"

Mother Wu said: "It's not that the man is stupid, but that the maid is used to putting on a show, and has already captured the man's mind. My cousin didn't believe what his wife said, but said that she missed her son too much and lost her mind. Later that The mistress was killed by her, and it was an unsatisfactory old mother beside the mistress who took the opportunity to sneak out of the house and tell the old master the truth. The old master came forward and then got rid of the maid."

Cui Yingying hurriedly asked: "Then how is your cousin?"

Mother Wu shook her head: "What else can I do? The high official can't kill his son-in-law to avenge his daughter, can he? Even getting rid of that concubine is not easy. It's just that we don't have much contact. Have a good time."

Cui Yingying was very disappointed, and sighed: "How could this be? Shouldn't good people be rewarded and bad people punished?"

Mama Wu smiled bluntly: "Those are just lies. In this world, if a man makes a mistake, he still has a chance to repent. People say he is a prodigal son who will never change his money, so he should be forgiven and respected by everyone. It's just that they lose all games, completely lose their chances, and whoever sees them will step on their feet and scold them a few words."

Cui Yingying said blankly: "The world is too harsh on women."

Madam Wu said: "Miss, it's good if you can understand these things. We women can only try our best to be cautious, and don't make mistakes. A mistake will cause eternal hatred."

After hearing Mama Wu's words, Cui Yingying disliked the matchmaker even more, and felt that Lin Anan was doing the right thing.The next day, I went to greet Lin An'an again, and then I talked about this matter: "It's because the daughter is stupid and doesn't know people's hearts. If the mother hadn't taught her carefully, the daughter would have been killed by the crooked maidservant."

Lin Anan smiled and said: "It's good that you know. Let me ask you again, why do you think your father can take on the important position of Prime Minister?"

Cui Yingying was a little puzzled, and replied: "Of course it is because of my father that I am outstanding, and I am worthy of this job."

Lin Anan shook her head and said, "You are still too innocent. Let me ask you, what's your last name?"

"My daughter is naturally surnamed Cui. What does this surname have to do with Daddy's official position?"

"Silly boy. Both the Boling Cui family and the Qinghe Cui family are well-known families. They have been very famous since the Han Dynasty. They are thousands of years old together with the Longxi Li family, Zhaojun Li family, Xingyang Zheng family, Fanyang Lu family, and Taiyuan Wang family. We are the Cui family of Boling. Although it is only a side branch, it is also a member of the Cui family. If your father was not from the Cui family, how could he be able to overcome all opinions and become the prime minister? One day, your father will not be the prime minister. We can still be respected for the reputation of the Cui family. Why do you think the Cui family has survived for thousands of years?"

Cui Yingying said: "My daughter doesn't know, so I ask my mother to teach me."

"Naturally, it is not only because the men of the Cui family are talented and worthy of great responsibilities, but also because the women of the Cui family are well-behaved and have outstanding virtues. Therefore, both men and women of the Cui family are competing for marriage and employment. That's how the princess got married but was worried."

Lin An'an paused for a while, and continued, "If the Cui family had a daughter who ran away and married without telling, the good reputation accumulated by the Cui family for thousands of years and dozens of generations will be destroyed, and the lintel's glory will be destroyed. Besides, who will be willing to marry the Cui family at that time? Therefore, as the daughter of the Cui family, your every action represents not only yourself, but also the entire Cui family. In the future, you can't just act according to your own preferences , you have to think of your parents and relatives.”

Looking at Cui Yingying, Lin Anan said again: "Since you have enjoyed the glory brought by the ancestors of the Cui family, you are naturally obliged to maintain the reputation of the Cui family. Do you understand all of this?"

Cui Yingying was emotional, nodded and said: "Daughter understands. When my daughter was with sisters from other families, she saw that they were very courteous to her daughter, so she thought it was because of her own fault. Only now did I realize that the surname of the Cui family was given to my daughter. So much convenience."

Lin Anan smiled and said, "It's good that you understand. It's not that you are required to follow the rules all the time, but that you should know that you can't act arbitrarily and willfully, and always consider the consequences."

Hearing Lin Anan speak so clearly, how could Cui Yingying fail to understand that her words and deeds were all related to the honor and disgrace of herself and her family?I couldn't help but secretly regret that I didn't act safely in the past.Busy said: "My daughter was too willful in the past, and she will definitely change in the future."

Since then, Cui Yingying has taken care of her heart and cultivated her nature, and emptied out all the thoughts that the matchmaker had instilled in her, such as private life, love for a concubine, and so on, and no longer think about it.
