However, raising fish is always immoral. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, you should not raise fish well. Just look for the right one and pursue it hard.
"I guess I should remind you that gold plating costs a lot of money."
Nian Jinniang said: "What does that matter? If I had no money, I would ask my sister-in-law to go. Then my sister-in-law would definitely not refuse."
If Qinglian could be trampled down, her sister-in-law would be so happy that she would still care about this little money.
Speaking of which, there are advantages to being married. The family has its own dowry assets and does not have to be so constrained in spending money. However, when you are married, you have to be a wife, serve your parents-in-law and husband, and take care of the yard. Things are not as easy as at home.
"That's it."
Nian Jinniang was still very curious about Su Wan, but she saw that her eyes had been falling on the lotus bushes not far away. She seemed to like her very much as she watched the girls holding boats coming and going among the lotus bushes. She wasn't very focused on what she was talking about, so she became quiet.
People come here just to watch the lotus picking competition. She always disturbs them, which is really rude.
It's just that Nian Jinniang is a little girl who can't sit still. After thinking about it, she pulled Su Xiuzhi to the back to whisper.
"Sister Xiuzhi, I think it's better to call off this marriage. This sister Pingwei is right. There is no green lotus today, but there will be green lotus and white lotus tomorrow. We haven't even gotten married yet, so he won't give me anything." You have such a good face, I won’t take you seriously when we get married.”
Although they could not be called top-notch noble daughters, their families were well-known in Lotus City. The people they were betrothed to were often well-matched young men. After they got married, their husbands would most likely have concubines.
The only thing they can keep is the status and respect of their head wives. If their husbands can't even give them this, they can't marry. For example, if Su Xiuzhi's fiancé dares to call off the engagement before they get married, what kind of respect can they give to Su Xiuzhi in the future? , it is very possible to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife.
If so, how can we live this life?
Su Xiuzhi pursed her lips: "I don't like others calling me sister, so you can call me Sister Xiuzhi."
Sister, sister, is either the name of a girl in the family, or a concubine. She didn't think there was anything wrong with this word before, but after hearing Su Wan say it, she felt a little conflicted.
When Nian Jinniang heard this, she immediately understood: "I don't like it either."
Not only does she dislike it, she also hates it to death. She is the youngest daughter in the family and doesn't like anyone calling her sister.
Su Xiuzhi said: "I'm afraid this matter won't be easy. I'll mention it to my mother later. If we can find someone better than the Wang family, maybe we can withdraw."
Originally they were engaged, but it was impossible to back out easily, but her fiancé went too far and almost trampled the Su family's face to the ground. The Su family was originally dissatisfied and was waiting for an explanation from the Wang family.
It's not impossible to retreat.
Su Xiuzhi was a little envious of Su Wan. Although Su Wan was married, she still seemed like a little girl. She didn't have any melancholy. She said, 'Lest her husband take a concubine outside and leave her behind'. In fact, I'm not worried at all. I guess the relationship between the couple is very good.
And this move is three thousand taels, obviously he is not short of money, and he can make the decision himself.
Nian Jinniang and Su Xiuzhi have alternating personalities, but their relationship is excellent. They have been like sisters for many years, and they whisper private things that are not good to others. Don't look at this little girl Nian Jinniang. His mouth was buzzing, but he couldn't say a word that he shouldn't have said.
The lotus picking competition lasted for an hour in total. Although it took a long time and the things we saw were the same, the scene was so beautiful that people could never tire of it.
The girls are all wearing cyan dresses with exquisite lotus embroidery on them, and they also wear lotus-style jewelry on their heads. They are all different, but they reach the same goal by different paths.
The girls held small boats and shuttled briskly through the lotus bushes to pick lotuses. They flickered and appeared. The lotus leaves were round and the lake was clear. The boat rowed across the water with ripples. The girls' laughter and singing could be heard from time to time in the lotus bushes.
All this makes people feel as if they have mistakenly entered a fairyland. Watching fairies dancing among the lotuses in the fairy pond, the same scene has appeared countless times, and it still makes people happy to watch.
While drinking tea, Su Wan looked at the lotus bushes in the distance and felt that the trip was worthwhile. After a lotus picking competition, it was as if his eyes had been cleansed. He suddenly became clear and what he saw felt beautiful. .
She cracked melon seeds and ate preserved fruit, and occasionally chatted with the girl next to her. An hour passed quickly.
The time of time is almost the same, the drummers on the high platform began to knock on the drum again, bleak, a moment, it is not urgent, but it is like an urging. Look over the lotus bush.
A girl came out of the lotus bush holding a small boat and sang "Returning from Lotus Picking" softly. The boat was filled with lotus pods, each lotus pod was large and full, green and green, full of harvest.
This song is a local song about lotus-picking girls. It has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and almost all locals can sing it. When the girls sang, the people on the river bank also sang along.
The melody is gentle and lively. The girls are as gentle and graceful as water, but also lively and innocent, unstained by dust, just like the lotus growing in the lake, with some quiet beauty, some delicate beauty, and some liveliness.
Su Wan raised his eyes and saw that the girls were holding boats leaving the lotus bushes and slowly coming this way. The boats were loaded with lotus pods, which made people feel that this scene was somewhat similar to the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
Oh, no, this is called returning from picking lotuses.
Su Wan felt a little regretful that Li Lin was not around, otherwise he would have asked him to draw this scene and treasure it in the future.
Su Wan asked the girl next to her if she had such a painting.
"Of course there are. Since ancient times, literati have written many poems and painted many paintings about lotus picking. There are also many good paintings." The girls talked about a few of their works.
Su Wan only wanted a scene painting, not a masterpiece by a famous artist, so he asked again: "Are there any paintings by today's talented people?"
"If we want to talk about the paintings made by talented people today, it must be Mr. Guan. Mr. Guan is very talented and is especially good at painting. Although he is not very old, the paintings he creates are extremely lifelike and wonderful."
"It's just that Guan Gongzi's paintings are also hard to find. I just didn't know that this year he also painted a lotus picking competition."
Su Wan felt a little strange: "Why don't you draw anymore?"
Nian Jinniang came over at this moment: "This is a long story to say, and it is because Qinglian angered him. In the past, Mr. Guan painted three paintings for the lotus picking competition every year, but since Qinglian was elected as the lotus If she is a woman, let people put pressure on her and let him paint her picture."
"Mr. Guan doesn't have a very good temper, and he hates people threatening him. He stopped painting in anger."
