The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 165: Everyone Wants to Retire the Engagement (3)
An Ran chuckled lightly and said, "I want the He family to withdraw their marriage! I want to make my own decisions about my marriage."

When Yulan heard this, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up and she said: "Sister Ran, don't you still think about that young master of the Qian family? I heard that he seems to have married a wife."

An Ran shook her head and said: "I want to withdraw because I don't want others to make decisions about my marriage, not because of any one person."

Yulan looked at An Ran's expression, thought for a while, but didn't speak.

At this time, An Qi came back with water.

Seeing a guest at home, he hurriedly put down the bucket and came over to say hello.

"Mom, I'm back. Who are these?"

Gu Wanniang forced a smile and said, "This is someone from your Uncle He's family who came to visit us specially."

An Qi nodded, greeted the others with a smile and apologized, then took the bucket to the kitchen first.

After coming out of the kitchen, he immediately went into the safe room and asked, "What have you done before? I don't think your mother's complexion is very good. The jaws of those in the He family were all up to the sky, and they looked down upon me. Our appearance is really disgusting!"

An Ran covered her mouth and smiled, learning from the "good thing" she did just now.

"You, you really want to divorce?" An Qi asked in a tone of disapproval.

An Ran let out a long breath, and said with a relaxed face, "Of course it's true. Do you think I'm joking about such a big thing?"

"You!" An Qi spun around in a hurry, pointed at An Ran's nose and said with annoyed expression, "Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with us first? If you leave the He family, you will definitely be able to Find a better one? Although we don't know exactly what the He family's second son is, at least the He family's family background is there, and Uncle He has been promoted to the fourth-rank magistrate, and his future is boundless. I've seen them before, they are all very good people. Given our current situation, where can you find such a family?"

An Ran waved away her brother pointing at her hand indifferently, and said seriously: "Brother, if I want to marry someone, I must marry someone I like, and it doesn't have much to do with his family background. If you don’t want to marry, you won’t marry anyone! Brother, do you still remember that you once promised me that if I don’t marry, you will support me for the rest of my life!”

when?An Qi was stunned for a moment, but he also remembered.It seems that when the little aunt got married, the younger sister cried and said that she should not be "splashed water", and made him promise to keep her forever.But in fact, she has been raising this family all these years. Why has he ever done anything for this family?
Thinking of this, An Qi sighed a long time and said: "Sister, you have always been smart, capable and assertive, and my brother can listen to you on other matters, but marriage is not a child's play, you should listen to your mother more." Yes! This marriage was arranged for you by daddy before he was alive. Dad always loves you the most, and he definitely wants you to live a happy life. Neither daddy nor mother will harm you. If it is a marriage they both agree with, brother thinks you shouldn’t this way."

An Ran is most afraid of what the ancients say about filial piety.Is it unfilial to violate father's last wish?Didn't dad regret it later when he helped her make an appointment so early?
"Brother, do you also think that I can't find someone better than the second son of the He family after I retire? What else does the He family have besides a good family background? If Uncle He and Aunt He and the second son of the He family They don't even like me, how can I live well? Besides, what does it matter if I don't marry for the rest of my life? Anyway, I can support myself, so why don't I stay with you and mother all the time?" An Ran asked unconvinced .

Seeing An Ran's angry look, An Qi couldn't help but had a headache and said: "Are you stupid or something? The court law stipulates that if a woman does not marry at [-], the government will decide to marry you! At that time, I will match you with someone else." , let's see where you cry!"

"Ah? And this rule? How can you force a woman to marry like this?" An Ran was stunned.What does society think of women?So this is the real patriarchy?She had made up her mind not to marry after retiring.

"You, you, haven't you read a lot of books? Why haven't you read the Ming Law? Not only the heroine is remarried at twenty, but also the childless widows under the age of 35 have to marry after three years of observance! If you don’t want to get married, you must become a nun! But even monasteries have quotas, not everyone who wants to become a nun can do it.”

An Ran felt that the society was in a mess.How could it be like this?Shouldn't widows be encouraged to observe festivals?I remember seeing this on TV before!
In the evening, the members of the He family went to live in the house over the long house.Mrs. Wang is warm and hospitable, regardless of her own lameness along the way, she also "does it herself" to greet the distinguished guests while supporting the girl.

The Wu Liu family naturally seized the opportunity to inquire about An Ran's "details."With Wang's and An Ran's festivities, you can know what she will say with your toes.

Therefore, Wu Liujia's idea of ​​retiring from the marriage was strengthened again and again, and they immediately revealed such intentions.She said to Wang: "The eldest wife is not an outsider, so I'll just say it straight. The second son of our family has been very intelligent since he was a child, with excellent literary talents. The title of the first son of Yongchang. Not to mention the girl in your second room, she is the daughter of a famous family in the capital, and our son has to choose someone who is knowledgeable in books and etiquette! This time, the madam asked us to come to see Miss Zhao Is it a good match for my son? We know that Zhao Juren is gone, but we never imagined that my niece has grown up like this after being left alone all these years... Sigh! A niece like that, let us and the second son be a rough girl, and our second son doesn't want it either!"

Mrs. Wang is smart, and as soon as Wu Liu's family's tone was revealed, she immediately sighed: "Oh, who said otherwise! If I were a niece, she would be really smart when I was young, and my second uncle would hold her in the palm of my hand." But since the death of my second uncle, the family has been divided again, and her mother is soft-tempered and can't control her. Just like this, her temper is getting more and more stubborn, her temper is getting bigger and bigger, and she even shows her face to sell her. Embroidery... well, not to mention the second son of the Lingfu, even our local scholarly families would not want her."
