Whether it is the Dayu Dynasty or the previous dynasties, women all adhere to the concept of obeying their fathers at home, their husbands when they get married, and their sons after their husbands die.
Many families also believe that the water thrown out by a married daughter is not one of their own family, and belongs to the family of whomever she marries.
But it does not apply in the luxurious Kyoto, especially in the Tokyo family.
A woman is not more noble than a son, but she can bring in-laws, become a link between two families, has the qualifications for asylum, and is the confidence for a small family to stay in Kyoto.
They often teach girls that no matter where they marry, they should never forget their natal family. Their natal family is your warmest harbor and your most solid backing. Only when your natal family is better can you be better off.
When marrying a daughter from a low-class family and marrying a daughter from a high-class family became popular, small families found a shortcut to make a leap forward.
"But isn't Fengjing the most important person to be well-matched?" Jiang Sheng held her chin and asked doubtfully.
Mrs. Jiang chuckled lightly, "Then let me ask you, how come the prince and princess are so well matched?"
The royal family was already the most noble being in the Dayu Dynasty. Apart from getting married to a foreign country, there was no real match anywhere.
Even the seemingly well-matched aristocratic families in Fengjing are just trying to win over each other and exchange resources.
For example, the Zhu family and the Tao family, or the Yao family and the Jiang family.
"There are no absolutes in this world. It is common for a married woman to take care of both her husband's family and her natal family, and occasionally favor her natal family." Mrs. Jiang was not surprised. "It often happens that the decline of the natal family affects the married woman."
It can be said that a married woman is not separated from her natal family because of her marriage. On the contrary, she becomes closer and becomes a community of interests.
"In terms of family relationships, it would be unfilial and heartless for my parents who have raised me for more than ten years to become strangers just because they got married." Mrs. Jiang sighed, "When the time comes, my mother's family will be separated, and my husband's family will not be able to integrate. It’s truly deplorable and pathetic.”
Just like Zhang Xianglian, she lost her family after getting married.
Jiang Sheng was a little sad and patted Mrs. Jiang awkwardly, "Grandma, you're not sad, you still have me."
This child must have misunderstood.
Mrs. Jiang suppressed a smile and said, "Don't worry, Nannan, I'm fine. The Jiang family and the Yao family have a close relationship, and they advance and retreat together. Although the development of the Yao family is weaker than that of the Jiang family, as long as I am still alive, the status of the Yao family will be It’s as solid as a mountain.”
Although she and Liao were both Jiang's daughters-in-law, Jiang Yao had accompanied the old general on the battlefield, raised the general who went on the battlefield, attended to the funeral of his parents-in-law, and even personally paid his last respects to the old general.
As long as she doesn't make the big mistake of overthrowing the dynasty, the Jiang family can only be respectful.
On the other hand, it is not wrong for the Liao family to seek high status, and it is acceptable to spend gold and silver to help the Liao family. The Jiang family is even willing to help take over the lychee job, showing that they are ready to win over their in-laws.
She should never have done anything to confuse the Jiang family's bloodline, nor should she have been a civet cat for a prince, nor should she have been indifferent to Jiang Sheng and still be so plausible and unrepentant.
Mrs. Jiang did not throw away the divorce letter immediately because she could not find any conclusive evidence, to save Jiang Chengyuan some face, and to wait for General Jiang to handle it personally.
But the Liao family and the Jiang family will never help again.
"Old madam, there is something I have been saying for a long time..." Tan Yue endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold it back, "Why did the Jiang family marry the Liao family in the first place?"
When the elders of the Jiang family married, they still chose the Yao family. Why did they choose the Liao family when it came to General Jiang's generation?
Including Mrs. Jiang Er of Xiyuan, she was not from a famous family, she was just an ordinary businesswoman.
It is understandable that Jiang Jizong is a concubine. As the legitimate son of the Jiang family and the Yao family, it is an exaggeration to say that he can even get a princess, so why would he marry a mere Liao family?
Mrs. Jiang pondered for a long time, "Because of the Jiang family's status, it cannot continue to grow."
Military power attracts people's attention.
Looking at Fengjing, no military general dares to marry unscrupulously, expand his power, and expand his ambitions after gaining control of a large amount of military power.
General Fang of the Fang family just married the legitimate daughter of a small family in Anshui County.
How dare Mrs. Jiang marry General Jiang to a noble girl and find a powerful father-in-law?
The Liao family was a small family, running a few shops, and had no connections in the court. The Liao family was also well-established at that time, and behaved in a dignified and steady manner. They caught the eye of General Jiang, and this marriage was facilitated.
It is a pity that today, eighteen years later, Liao proved with actions that General Jiang was wrong.
"If the general knew this, I'm afraid he would be very sad." Tan Yue said sympathetically.
Mrs. Jiang glanced over and said, "He already knew it."
In May, letters from the Jiang family were sent to the border area. Although no reply was received, the palace informant reported that the general was already preparing to apply for a transfer order back to Beijing.
Yes, this is also the sadness of being a general.
Because he has military power and is stationed on the border, he has to go home every three to five years. Not only must he arrange defense in advance, but he must also apply for a transfer order. He is not allowed to return to Beijing without permission.
When the old general's parents passed away, due to the intense war, they couldn't even attend the funeral in person, so Mrs. Jiang could only handle the funeral.
In the future, when she dies, her son will probably not appear, and her grandchildren will have to send her to the old general.
This is a family of military commanders, this is sacrifice, this is the reason for the glory of the Jiang family!
There is no top-notch family for no reason, no power gained easily. Civil servants still need to scheming, but military generals are actually fighting for the future with their blood.
"It's a pity that there is no one left in the Jiang family." Mrs. Jiang sighed.
From a loving perspective, she should be happy because future generations do not need to work hard or tie their heads to their belts.
From the overall perspective, she was very sad. The pride of the Jiang family that had lasted for hundreds of years was finally coming to an end here.
There was a touch of sadness in the air, and Jiang Sheng rubbed his furry little head in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere.
Mrs. Jiang touched her, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Liao's words seemed like anger, but there was no logic. Why should the relationship between the Jiang family and the Liao family involve the Yao family? Is there anything else she doesn't know about here?
"Grandma, grandma, don't think about it." Jiang Sheng said coquettishly, "Grandma, look at me, look at me."
The little girl with a round face deliberately raised her nose, revealing her round nostrils like a pig, and even twitched them twice, making her look more like one.
Tan Yue burst out laughing.
Mrs. Jiang was helpless, and she couldn't even laugh or cry.
The gloomy atmosphere was finally driven away, and the whole room was filled with harmony and joy.
Everything is fine everywhere, except that Zheng Ruqian, who waited outside Jiang's house for a long time, and his legs were shaking, was a little depressed, "Where is my sister? Is my sister lost? Why don't you come out?"
If you don’t come out, the ice will melt! ! !
