When Mrs. Xie asked this, she obviously wanted to marry Duke Jinning.
Duke Ning's Mansion is a new family of powerful people, and although the Xie family is in Guiyan City, it is not bad at all. Compared with the Wang family, the so-called head of the four families, the Xie family is low-key, wealthy, and like the other clans in Guiyan City. After all, the Xie family is still standing strong, which shows how powerful it is.
However, Su Wan's words "can't speak" obviously meant rejection, and Mrs. Xie was a little surprised.
"Yunzhi in my family looks pretty good, has a good temperament, is quite knowledgeable, and is very motivated."
Mrs. Xie smiled. In fact, she did think that this girl from the Jinning Palace was pretty good. Although she was born from a stepmother, she was also a legitimate daughter. Leaving aside the Jinning Palace, her father was also a third-grade minister.
With such an identity, it would be enough to match the eldest son of the Xie family, but if it were the second son, he would indeed be somewhat superior to the woman.
Mrs. Xie said: "If your sister comes over in the future, she will also be with the princess."
Su Wan said: "Madam, if you are interested, just ask my father. I, in fact, am not easy to talk to."
In fact, Su Wan thinks that the people in the Xie family are quite good. Both the head of the Xie family and Mrs. Xie are both reasonable people and never make things difficult for others. Mrs. Xie also treats Chen very well.
Mrs. Chen is not a bad person, she is gentle and kind, polite and courteous to others, and the young man Xie Yunzhi does seem to be quite nice.
If you really want to talk about it, the Xie family is indeed a good home. As long as the person you marry doesn't cause trouble all the time, you can still live a good life.
However, the Xie family also had a shortcoming that made Su Wan not satisfied.
Like other clans, the Xie family takes it as a matter of course to marry and take concubines. The head of the Xie family has three concubines, and the eldest son Xie also has three concubines. One is his concubine who followed him before they got married, and the other is Mrs. Xie's concubine. The concubine he chose.
Since the eldest son Xie is like this, Xie Yunzhi cannot escape from the vulgarity.
Su Wan didn't want Su Luo to marry such a husband. In the future, she would either be virtuous and generous and careless about it, or she would spend her whole life being angry with these concubines. No matter which one, her heart would be filled with panic.
Su Wan and Li Lin were harmonious as husband and wife, and their relationship was very deep. She knew what it was like when they were just two people. She really couldn't imagine what life would be like if there were more concubines. She felt scared. It's intolerable.
Therefore, she still felt that it would be more suitable for Su Luo to find a husband who did not take concubines. Even though his background was a bit poor, the love between the couple was unparalleled, which was also excellent.
If it doesn't work out, she would rather choose one of the people around Li Lin. All of those people are not bad at it. All she needs to do is ask Li Lin to transfer the person out and arrange a new job. Then she can get a decent job in the future. To support her family, Su Luo also had a dowry herself and lived a good life.
In this life, it is considered good to live a more comfortable life.
But since it was Mrs. Xie who asked, Su Wan hesitated for a moment and then explained the reason.
"Actually, my father's ideas are somewhat different. He married my mother and A'luo's mother successively, but he has never taken a concubine in these years. He feels that a couple is a matter between two people. If another woman comes along, , it’s changed.”
"My father agreed to my marriage to Jingyuan in the past. In fact, it was for this reason. The ancestors of the Li family were not allowed to take concubines or continue to marry. He married me in this life. Even if I unfortunately left earlier, he could only I."
"There's nothing wrong with the Xie family. It's just that my father probably wants to find someone who is similar and whose family background is worse. It doesn't matter."
"Other people say that you should marry into a high-ranking family, so that your children and grandchildren will enjoy happiness in the future. But my father said that he only cares about his daughter's life. As for the children and grandchildren, he has no control over them. What kind of life they can live depends on their needs. You have to rely on yourself.”
Su Xun is indeed a very good father. Whether he is a son or a daughter, his love is genuine and he considers his children wholeheartedly.
Mrs. Xie didn't expect such a reason. She paused slightly and suddenly thought of her youth again.
She was also a noble daughter of the Imperial City. She was married to the Xie family's eldest son and became the first wife. She had just gotten married and the two had a period of deep love.
Later, they moved into a common house and took in concubines. Although this is almost the case in the houses of powerful clans, when the husband spends the night in other women's houses, tossing and turning alone, one can imagine the sadness and discomfort in his heart.
Probably the love of her life died at that time, and she had no expectations for that man. She just muddle along and let him do whatever he loved. Later, the children gradually grew older, and now they are halfway through their lives. It passed quickly.
That person had said more than once that she was a good wife and a good mistress of the Xie family, but what she was thinking about was that if there was another life in her life, she would never want to see him again.
Now that her daughter has married into the Zhao family, it seems to be the same. Her daughter has cried to her many times because her husband doted on his concubines. She feels pity for her, but there is nothing she can do. She just wants her daughter to be more generous and not to take the man too seriously.
Looking at Su Wan now, although she was not well-married, many people felt it was a pity. With her status, it was not unreasonable for her to marry a prince or grandson and become the crown prince or princess. However, she was married and lived a really good life. Good.
Whether a person is living well or not can be judged by just looking at the person's mental outlook. Su Wan's skin is fair and rosy. When she smiles, she is gentle and sweet, with a little bit of the charm of a little woman. It's just a matter of time. Very good.
Mrs. Xie sighed after a while: "How wonderful it would be if there were only two people between husband and wife."
Su Wan actually wanted to ask, then why did you arrange a marriage for Mr. Xie, and then take a good concubine after marrying his wife?
But it was really hard to ask such a question, so she refrained from speaking.
She smiled: "If Madam is serious and willing to make such a promise, she should talk to my father. If she is not willing, forget it."
Mrs. Xie nodded: "I understand."
The two played another game of chess, and then at noon, the group had dinner in a small town. In the afternoon, Mrs. Xie returned to her carriage. Li Lin got on the carriage and leaned against the soft pillow with her to talk.
Su Wan told him what Mrs. Xie had mentioned earlier, and then sighed: "Although the Xie family is good, if A Luo is to serve the same husband with someone else in the future, I really don't want to, and would rather find someone with worse conditions. I don’t want her to be like this in her life.”
"Just look for her slowly. She's still young. It's not too late to wait for another two years. Besides, my father-in-law must know well and will look after her."
"That's true, then I don't want to do it."
