Sheng Hong once packed a ticket to find a good family for Mo Lan, but unexpectedly chose Wen Yanjing, a poor man from a poor family.
The Wen family only has a few acres of thin land, and their livelihood depends on the care of their mother and brother, which is in stark contrast to the prosperity of the Sheng family. In this regard, Lin Xiaoniang can be said to be dissatisfied, she looks forward to Mo Lan climbing higher branches every day, how can she be satisfied with such a mediocre family background?
One day at dinner, Lin Xiaoniang mentioned the importance that the Earl's Mansion Wu Da Niang valued Ming Lan, and made it clear that only the lord's family was willing to marry a concubine as the eldest lady, trying to let Sheng Hong find a good relationship with a higher family.
However, when Sheng Hong heard this, he immediately straightened his face and left in a hurry without even finishing his meal. Mo Lan was so angry that she burst into tears, while Lin Xiaoniang was secretly determined to seek a better future for her daughter.
At this time, Minglan had a desire for revenge, and the design successfully pushed Mo Lan to Liang Han's big bed.
On the surface, Mo Lan seems to have been framed by Minglan , but in fact, Rulan's ordeal after marriage revealed Lin Xiaoniang's wise move at the beginning.
At the beginning, Lin Xiaoniang opposed Mo Lan's marriage and was well versed in the three cruel realities of marriage. First of all, the hardships of material life. Compared with the Sheng family, the Wen family is undoubtedly much poorer. Lin Xiaoniang is the daughter of a criminal minister and was kicked out of the house by her clansmen. In such a utilitarian era, the profit-seeking mentality of the official eunuch family is particularly prominent, and the Wen family may inevitably care about life. If Mo Lan marries, her mother-in-law may be like Sun Xiucai's mother in the future, not only to spend her daughter's dowry, but also to care about her. This is one of the reasons why Lin Xiaoniang strongly opposes Mo Lan's marriage with the Wen family.
Then there are differences in family backgrounds. After Rulan married into the Wen family, she wanted to buy another yard to live in, but was blocked by her mother-in-law. The poor living environment of the Wen family is dwarfed by the dignity of Rulan since childhood. Rulan has difficulty adapting to the rough living environment, and the Wen family, as a poor family, inevitably makes Rulan feel the difference in life Xi, which leads to conflicts.
Finally, the pressure of society. In that era when women were extremely harsh, every move in marriage could become the focus of discussion. Minglan was blamed for marrying highly, and Rulan was also treated unfairly in her in-law's family after she got married. The pressure of society is likely to make the woman who marries feel inferior and uneasy in marriage.
Looking back now, although Mo Lan was framed at the beginning, she was relieved in Rulan's marriage. Lin Xiaoniang's opposition at that time was really thoughtful, and she saw through the three cruel realities of getting married.
In modern society, marriage is not just a matter of two people, but also about the union of two families. Women need to consider all kinds of practical issues in their marriage and be fully prepared for future happiness. Only by working hard in the midst of adversity can we find true happiness in marriage.
