In the world of "Do You Know", Cao Jinxiu, the girl who was once as beautiful as a flower, now entered the He family with a broken flower and a willow body, and became the concubine of her cousin He Hongwen. Although there was the manipulation of the little marquis Gu Tingye behind him, he uncovered this pustule early, exposing the ugly face of the He family. For Minglan , this may be a good thing.
However, the He family could not escape the disturbances brought by the Cao family. Even if there are strongmen like Grandmother He to suppress it, and there is the fierce and violent Grandma He control, Cao Jinxiu and her family still disturb the He family. Grandmother He once said: "I am not a pedantic person, there is nothing to remarry in the concubine room, but she, as well as her family, are all inferior and despicable and shameless people, if Brother Hong asks them to be entangled, that life will be over!."”。Her prophecy came true, and the Cao family was like a cancer that plagued the He family, and Cao Jinxiu was the bane.
After Mrs. Sheng heard the news of the Cao family, she immediately became alert. Mrs. Cao, the sister of Mother He, is also her only living mother's family. Since the Cao family was assigned to Liangzhou for the crime of Xiaoliangshan Mining and Silver ** case, He's mother, who has been sick for many years, has been worried, but she can't do anything. Therefore, she has a great sense of compensation for the Cao family. This made Mrs. Sheng doubt the prospect of marrying the He family. At that time, the grandparents and grandchildren were still lucky, hoping that the water and soil in Liangzhou would not nourish beauties, so they were reluctant to give up He Hongwen, the son-in-law.
However, when the ancestors and grandchildren of the Sheng family met the Empress Dowager Cao, they saw the methods of vulgar people. Although the water and soil in Liangzhou cannot nourish the beauty, it is enough to harm people's hearts!Cao Jinxiu is much inferior to Minglan compared to her. She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, she was already hunched and headed, her appearance was thin, her hands were thin and shriveled, she looked humble and had been weathered for a long time, her complexion was really not very good, and even her clothes were old and faded.
When the ancestors and grandchildren of the Sheng family came to He's house as guests, Mrs. Cao couldn't wait to visit. She kept telling about Cao Jinxiu and He Hongwen's childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, affectionate and righteous ......Her words make people sigh that there are such brazen people in this world. In Mrs. Cao's words, it is obvious that she is trying her best to break up the secret marriage of the Sheng He family, and she intends to marry her daughter to He Hongwen. The He family treated the Cao family with kindness and righteousness, and they not only generously took in the down-and-out Cao family, but also gave them silver taels to help them and find a place to live for them. However, the ingratitude of the Cao family makes people shudder, they cut off their beards halfway, and the viciousness of their intentions is really staggering!
For the marriage of He Hongwen, the only grandson of the He family, Grandmother He can be said to have worked hard, and she has been friends with Mrs. Sheng for many years, all in order to create a better opportunity for He Hongwen. She even did not hesitate to make all kinds of overt and covert assurances before Mrs. Sheng agreed to let He Hongwen contact Sheng Minglan. However, all this was ruined by the stupid actions of Mrs. Cao and her sister. The Cao family's actions are too blatant, and their viciousness and recklessness make people angry.
Faced with such a situation, Grandmother He was angry in her heart, but she was not in a hurry to deal with it. She used a hairpin to expose the truth that Cao Jinxiu was no longer perfect. In front of Grandmother He, who had studied medicine since childhood, Mrs. Cao's sophistry was untenable, and she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that the Cao family had already sold their daughter to a military attache as a concubine, and they ransomed her back after this amnesty, and they tried in vain to use their daughter to cling to the He family.
In ancient times, it was difficult for a remnant flower like Cao Jinxiu to marry into an ordinary family, let alone the He family of the official eunuch. What the Cao family did was obviously to deceive the unassertive He mother, and use her family affection to satisfy her selfish desires. Grandmother He had already seen through all this, and she didn't take the Cao family in her eyes at all, so she unceremoniously suppressed them strongly.
However, marriage is about the pleasure of the two loves, if you are worried about the thief, even if you are not afraid of the thief, you will inevitably have a dislike. Therefore, Mrs. Sheng must think more: What is Mother He's attitude towards this family business?How will He Hongwen treat his aunt's group of people when he comes back?And the malicious intervention of the Cao family undoubtedly cast a shadow on the relationship between the Sheng He family. For the Sheng family, this is definitely not a good thing!Just as Mrs. Sheng worried, the Cao family's insatiable greed really came true. After He Hongwen returned to the capital, he visited the Sheng family as soon as possible and expressed his determination to the Sheng family. However, as soon as he left the Sheng Mansion, he was entangled by Cao Jinxiu and taken to the grove next to him to listen to her tell her about the memories of his youth: picking pomegranate flowers together, tying lotus lanterns and rabbit lanterns.
Seeing Cousin Cao so thin and haggard, He Hongwen felt pity and felt in a dilemma about her request. Cousin Cao did not expect to become He Hongwen's concubine, she just wanted to be an ordinary maid by his side, and she would be satisfied with such a life. Such a request seemed so humble and aggrieved to others, and Cousin Cao's voice revealed deep pathos and sadness, which made He Hongwen burst into tears, and turned to Minglan to accept Cousin Cao.
This trick is really insidious and cunning, and it makes people very uncomfortable. Minglan was so angry that her chest was surging with blood!There is always such a person in the world, who takes "I am weak and I am reasonable" as the code of conduct, and reverses black and white. Cao Jinxiu is like this, and her family knows it well!
Cao Jinxiu's move was nothing more than the fear that Grandmother He would reveal her past and make her unable to see her cousin He Hongwen again. So, she put on a humble posture. She first admitted her identity as a broken flower and willow, saying that she did not expect to become a concubine, but only wanted to stay in front of her cousin. She wanted to win sympathy with this, and then used her words to pinch Minglan who came to "**". She was as pitiful as a beggar on the side of the road, and begged Minglan to take pity on her and take her in.
Cao Jinxiu's behavior is really self-deceptive!She also teamed up with her mother before, trying to use her childhood sweetheart to hide from the world and deceive He's mother's trust to marry into the He family. How can you be willing to be an ordinary girl or concubine?Her goal is at least the status of a concubine. However, her performance was too clumsy and her judgment of the situation was also wrong.
Minglan doesn't rely on He Hongwen, she has many choices. There is no grass at the end of the world, and Minglan does not have to be He Hongwen. And Mrs. Sheng still has several candidates in her hands. Therefore, she exposed Cousin Cao's words on the spot. In the depths of history, some things seem to be destined to happen. The story of the He family is one of them. Father He, a once great man, fell into the whirlpool of sin because of a thought, was insatiable, and finally went to ruin. His children, those who had vested interests, were duly punished for this. However, in this story, we see more sadness and helplessness.
Cousin Cao's fate is like an abandoned boat, drifting in the waves of life. Her pity lies not only in the ruin of her family, but also in the indifference and sinister nature of people's hearts. In the past, she may have dreamed of a better future, but because of the entanglement of family and affection, she fell into a dispute that she could not extricate herself from.
He Hongwen, a kind and strong young man, could have had more choices in his life. However, he was in a dilemma because of the entanglement of the Cao family and the weakness of his mother. His heart was full of helplessness and struggle, and he may have some sympathy and pity for Cousin Cao, but he also understood that taking her as a concubine was not the best way to solve the problem.
In this complex story, we see the good and evil, sorrow and joy of human nature. Mother He's weakness and indistinguishable behavior undoubtedly exacerbated the deterioration of the situation. She is bent on giving her family a good life, but she doesn't know that in this world, not everything can go as she wishes.
And Cousin Cao's sinister intentions are even more vigilant. She clung to He Hongwen's life-saving straw, and seemed to forget that the emotions between people are based on sincerity and respect. Her single-mindedness and indifference not only hurt herself, but also those around her.
In the face of everything, He Hongwen chose to be wise and decisive. He understands that there is often only one choice in life, and he cannot ruin his life because of a moment of pity and sympathy. He provided Cousin Cao with a dowry and future security, so that she could live with dignity in her husband's family. Such an approach is undoubtedly the most reasonable choice.
The end of the story is clear. He Hongwen understood his wishes and responsibilities, and Cousin Cao also got the placement she deserved. And the people and things that hurt them will be a thing of the past. There is still a long way to go, and they will continue to move forward with hope and courage to meet every challenge in life. Under the weight of life, the Cao family's unreasonable demands are unbearable. It is impossible to feed them for the rest of their lives, but they are insatiable and insatiable. The Cao family's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and He's mother is also bewitched by them, desperately using her son's family business to supplement them. Even in front of Minglan , Mother He actually agreed to let Cao Jinxiu enter the door, which destroyed Grandmother He's carefully planned marriage plan, which is really outrageous!
However, looking at Mrs. Cao's performance, is she half grateful to Mother He?No matter what the physical condition of Mother He is, as long as there is a slight dissatisfaction, Mrs. Cao will make a big noise. She cried and cried, "O my poor daughter!".It's all your father and mother who mistook you, I thought that after returning to the capital, your cousin would take care of you, but now the world has changed, and he has climbed to the ...... of high branches*I'll care if you live or die!Son, if you die with your mother, who let you have a wolf-hearted aunt and cousin!”
People like the Cao family will never be grateful. No matter how much you do for them, if they make a slight mistake, they will be forced to make it difficult and even bite back. He Hongwen's reluctance to take his cousin as a concubine angered the Cao family, who accused him, scolded him, and even beat him together. They slandered He Hongwen as a wolf-hearted dog, which is really chilling!
Cao Jinxiu even played the trick of crying and crying, looking for death and life. It turned out that when she was a concubine, she was poured safflower soup by the wife in charge, and she could never have children again. Except for He Hongwen, it is not safe for her to marry anyone. From this point of view, if she married He Hongwen as she wished at the beginning, wouldn't she have the intention of cutting off her children and grandchildren?What is the difference between this and harming someone?
In this story, we see the complexity and ugliness of human nature. Cao Jinxiu concealed what happened to her and insisted on marrying He Hongwen, seemingly to seek stability, but in fact it was just out of selfish desire. And He Hongwen was defeated in the face of his mother's tearful offensive and his cousin's miserable experience, and finally agreed to take her as a concubine. Such a decision made his advantage in the marriage market disappear, and also buried hidden dangers for his future.
In general, although the conditions of the He family are superior, they are still powerless in the face of the Cao family's unreasonable demands. In this story, we see human greed, selfishness, and ingratitude. It is also a reminder to be wary of those seemingly poor people in life, who may have more secrets and sinister intentions behind them. At the same time, we must also learn to cherish the people in front of us, and not make decisions that we regret because of the emotional impulse of the moment. In the He family, which is not considered illustrious and wealthy, the situation was originally very balanced and harmonious. As the pillar of the family, He Hongwen has a rich family property and superb medical skills, which are enough to support the whole family, and his mother-in-law is weak, it seems that time is short, and there are no disputes between concubines and concubines that are difficult to deal with. The new daughter-in-law can smoothly run the house when she enters the door, and this state of balance and harmony makes people happy.
However, since He Hongwen accepted Cao Jinxiu as a concubine, the situation in the family has changed dramatically. It is taboo to take a concubine before marriage, not to mention that Cao Jinxiu is He Mu's niece and He Hongwen's cousin. This kind of complicated relationship situation, I am afraid that anyone who wants to marry into the He family will have to think deeply. At this time, the elders of the He family were still in good health, and Grandfather He decisively stepped forward to stop his daughter-in-law's excesses and warned her not to use the family's money to supplement the Cao family, otherwise she would be divorced.
However, He Mu does not seem to realize her mistake and remains unrepentant after being threatened by her father-in-law. She took advantage of various opportunities to hand over the silver to Cao Jinxiu, and then she transferred it to the Cao family. This kind of behavior is really incomprehensible, and it also makes people lament her unwise and irresponsible.
At the same time, the men of the Cao family did not cherish the money after they got it, but indulged in spending all day long, **uninhibited. Not only are they full of poisons, but they also engage in usury activities, forcing many people to desperation, and even selling their children and daughters. Against this backdrop, Grandmother He was furious and determined to take action.
After Grandfather He retired, she resolutely decided to no longer care about Mother He's feelings and took Aunt Cao back to her hometown to separate the two women related to the Cao family. She said resolutely: "Maybe you think that the Cao family is more important than your own son, but I am a ruthless person, I only think that my grandson is the most important!."”
Then, after some selection, she finally found a suitable wife for her grandson - the daughter of a low-ranking military attaché. Despite this, with the full support of the He family, the new granddaughter-in-law still went through a lot of twists and turns to straighten out the family.
However, Aunt Cao was not satisfied with being an ordinary concubine. After He Hongwen got married, she continued to play all kinds of tricks, pretending to be sick and selling miserably. But these tricks were useless in front of He Hongwen, who was highly skilled in medicine. In the end, she could only rely on the power of He Mu to force He Hongwen to go to her room. However, such behavior will only increase He Hongwen's disgust and disgust towards her. To make matters worse, Aunt Cao is not willing to fail, and her ambitions and desires seem to be endless. When He's mother was seriously ill, Aunt Cao ignored the fact that He Hongwen already had children, and proposed to take a concubine for He Hongwen to continue the incense on the grounds that she was unable to have children. However, her real intention was to work with her father and brother to arrange for a pregnant girl to climb into his bed after drugging He Hongwen. This girl, who usually sends things to the Cao family for Aunt Cao, has already had an improper relationship with Aunt Cao's brother, and is two months pregnant. They actually used such means to plot the He family's property!
After the matter was revealed, He's mother died of illness in anger. Fortunately, Grandmother He has always been wary of the Cao family, and she asked that one of Mother He and Aunt Cao must accompany her to live in her hometown Baishitan, and arrange for her granddaughter-in-law to closely monitor the other. Because of this, the conspiracy they planned was exposed in time, and it also gave them a reason to rectify the Cao family.
In addition, Grandma He herself has an unknown history. She does not pursue the love of the vows, she only hopes that her children will be by her side, and her husband will be considerate and live in peace. She was born in a military attache family, and her family background is quite passable, and her father and brother can be her backing. And she is used to life in the market, and there are no rules and shelves of high-ranking families. Since she was a child, she has been doing it herself with her mother, and she is used to seeing the scene of shrews scolding the street, with a tough, pungent and rough personality, and she will not back down in the face of the provocation of the Cao family.
Coupled with the support of her shrewd and transparent mother-in-law and grandmother, Grandma He will beat Aunt Cao when she should beat and scold when she should scold, and she doesn't have to endure her mother-in-law who can't go on the road. She said: "After cleaning up the concubines and squeezing the good mother-in-law, I can still pretend to be a loving husband and wife with my husband when I turn around." After the death of her mother-in-law, Grandma He completely eradicated the bane of Aunt Cao, and for the sake of her children, she would not let Aunt Cao harm this family again!
