In the ** period, how much is the value of an ocean?
Mr. Lu Xun once described that the four of them enjoyed a hot pot feast in Donglaishun, with both wine and delicacies, and they were very satisfied, spending a total of 1 ocean.
During that period, the administrator of the Peking University library was able to earn 8 yuan per month as income.
Because of this purchasing power, the second grandmother of the Bai family bought a girl at the gate of the mansion, spending a total of 500 yuan. This kid is a capable person who can treat dogs as his wife. The most important thing is that the maid, who is bought at such a huge cost, does not need to do any chores, just hold the dog for the old lady.
The young woman did not come from any prominent family, nor was she a frustrated aristocrat. Her father was a small trader who owned a small carpentry shop in the county town. Her carpenter father, who had never earned 50 yuan in his lifetime, gladly accepted the money and gave it to his daughter, but he did not realize that the steward of the Bai family owed him the remaining 450 yuan.
However, to everyone's expectations, such a "dog girl" from the bottom of the society won the deep love of two generations of the Bai family.
Xiangxiu, what qualifications does she have?
Neither arrogant nor humble, never thought of himself as low.
Although Xiangxiu comes from the lowest level of society, she will never despise herself.
When the second grandmother of the Bai family met her, she was only 14 years old. The second grandmother is a lively and lovely little girl with a cheerful personality. When the second grandmother made an inquiry, she behaved very calmly and did not show any signs of evasion or timidity.
The second grandmother has served in the Bai family for decades, and she has become accustomed to many people who try to please her, some of whom are very cautious, while others are extremely trying to curry favor. The calm and firm eyes shown by Xiangxiu have become a rare phenomenon.
The second grandmother observed many people, and soon became attracted to this proud little girl, and immediately asked: "Would you like to go home with me and play with this dog every day?".”
The little girl didn't know why, but she became angry at that moment. Her dad put the dog in a cage and told her to take it out to play, which she disagreed. After leaving the dog, he said angrily, "I don't want to!"."As soon as I heard it, I knew she was scolding me. Then he fled.
This incident caused the second grandmother to change her opinion of him, and she immediately assigned Mr. Wang to ask who the child belonged to, and decided to marry the child to him.
Although Xiangxiu was born into a poor family, she was not cared for by her family. Since she was a child, she has followed her father to work in various places, and her parents love her very much. As a result, she is always confident, generous, and even a bit tsundere at times.
She doesn't show any submissiveness when confronted by an old woman who appears to be rich and powerful;It's not like a "strong woman".She has a mild-tempered temper that is hard to detect, and she is always there to lend a helping hand when others need her. Mr. Wang urged her to say "yes", and said that this was her "blessing to come", but she was unswerving, abandoned the dog and ran, and loved whoever she loved.
Maybe it's because of Xiangxiu's character trait of not despising herself and insisting on "loving whoever you love", so that she will not suffer any loss in her life.
Be faithful to your duties, regardless of your status.
The first encounter between Xiangxiu and Bai Jingqi is actually a relationship of "getting acquainted without a fight".
When she witnessed Bai Jingqi holding the dog, her first thought was "let go!".”
Although some people reproached her and called her "Seventh Master", she still resolutely said: "This dog cannot be held by anyone except me!".”
Xiangxiu understands that she is a "dog girl", so the dog should not be taken away by others. Whether you are the seventh master or the eighth master, as long as you dare to hurt my dog, then you must not.
Unexpectedly, this attracted Bai Jingqi's attention.
The first encounter with Bai Jingqi left a deep and new impression on him, which also laid the groundwork for their future relationship development.
Speaking of Bai Jingqi, he really likes such a girl with a unique personality very much, just like his mother.
Always stick to principles and never compromise.
Xiangxiu also has deep affection for Bai Jingqi, but she will never compromise in pursuit of love."
She joined the Bai family at the age of 14 and won the deep love of her second grandmother at the age of 28. She is a gentle and virtuous person who has lived with her second grandmother for more than ten years. Not long after stepping on the threshold, she gained a unique right among the maids: to have dinner with her second grandmother.
In the past ten years spent in the Bai family, her knowledge has expanded, but she has better understood the value of sticking to principles. The trajectory of her life coincides with the credo of "you can get it when you have a child". She silently followed Bai Jingqi, knowing full well that the identity and status she pursued was not achieved through "pregnancy".
In contrast, in order to alleviate the pressure of her social status and identity, she always chose to take medication for contraception. As a result, she contracted miscarriage syndrome during pregnancy, leaving both her husband and child disabled and unable to lead a normal life. This laid a hidden danger for her subsequent miserable life.
She never felt that following Bai Jingqi would automatically gain social status. She felt like a very ordinary girl with nothing to show off. Therefore, when Bai Jingqi hoped that she could continue to be by his side, she firmly refused.
This strategy is really ruthless.
She did not lose herself like Yang Jiuhong, but took Bai Jingqi as the core and pleaded with him without tears.
Li Xiangxiu told Bai Jingqi without hesitation: "I'm ready to say goodbye!."”
Bai Jingqi felt uneasy about this confession. In fact, before he married Xiangxiu, he was never sure that he could keep her by his side.
Xiangxiu revealed her bottom line to him so clearly, she will do what she says, and she will never compromise.
He was intelligent all his life, but his life in his later years was bleak.
Li Xiangxiu lives an unrestrained and free life. It is this flamboyant personality that makes her show a unique charm.
Two generations of the Bai family have developed a strong interest in this light, and she herself has gradually emerged from a grassroots little girl to become the master of the mansion, which can really be said to be a leap forward.
However, she also suffered a huge loss as a result. Due to her lack of fame during the period of following Bai Jingqi, she took a large number of contraceptive pills, which caused her to be unable to have children for the rest of her life.
She knows very well that in such a large family, if she does not have her own children, she is likely to be kicked out of the house by this big family in the future.
Therefore, she managed to adopt a child and named him Li Tianyi.
In order to train this child, she paid a huge price, hired the best teachers of the time to guide Providence, and also hired a teacher who was good at foreign languages to teach him English and encourage him to learn martial arts.
Unfortunately, the relationship between Li Tianyi and Xiangxiu finally broke down, and this Xiangxiu, who had extraordinary wisdom, finally spent her sad old age alone.
