In the original work of "Do You Know", Cao Jinxiu, the former flower, finally entered the He family with a ruined body and became the concubine of her cousin He Hongwen. Although the Cao family had the secret help of the little marquis Gu Tingye in the process of seeking refuge from the He family, he also exposed the ugly face of this family in broad daylight early, which was not a good thing for Minglan . As Cao Jinxiu, this former flower has withered, but he still walked into the He family and became He Hongwen's concubine. Even in the He family, with the strong suppression of Grandmother He's and Grandma He's spicy control, Cao Jinxiu and her Cao family still disturbed the He family's chickens and dogs. As Grandmother He said: "I am not an old-fashioned person, and the remarriage of concubines is harmless, but they, including their family, are all low-quality and despicable and shameless. If Brother Hong is entangled by them, then his life will be ruined!”
The Cao family is hiding from the world.
When Mrs. Sheng heard the news of the Cao family, she immediately felt alert. Mrs. Cao, as the sister of Mother He, is also her only living family member, since the Cao family was sent to Liangzhou for being involved in the Xiaoliangshan Mining and Silver ** case, Mother He, who is sick in bed, has been caring about them, but she is powerless to change anything. Therefore, there is a great compensatory nature in her deep affection for the Cao family. This also made Mrs. Sheng doubt the prospect of marrying the He family. At that time, the grandparents and grandchildren still had a bit of luck, and they hoped that the water and soil in Liangzhou were not suitable for the growth of beauties. After all, both parties have put so much thought and effort into this marriage. However, it wasn't until Mrs. Cao personally visited the door that the ancestors of the Sheng family really saw the methods of the despicable. Although the water and soil in Liangzhou cannot nourish the beauty, it is enough to corrupt people's hearts!Compared with Minglan , Cao Jinxiu is obviously a lot inferior. At that time, she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was already hunched and thin. Her hands were thin and shriveled, clearly showing signs of weathering and suffering. The complexion is not outstanding, and the clothes are old and faded.
When the ancestors and grandchildren of the Sheng family came to the He family as guests, Mrs. Cao couldn't wait to come forward to talk. She kept telling about Cao Jinxiu and He Hongwen's childhood sweethearts and the friendship between the two little ones. Those clichéd memories feel both awkward and ridiculous. For the ancestors of the Sheng family, this is undoubtedly a wake-up call. Mrs. Cao's words were full of the intention of sabotaging the marriage between the Sheng He family, and she had the intention of letting her daughter Cao Jinxiu marry He Hongwen. The He family can be said to be benevolent and righteous, they not only kindly took in the down-and-out Cao family, but also provided money and shelter to help. However, the Cao family was ungrateful and snatched love halfway, which was extremely vicious. For the marriage of He Hongwen, the only grandson of the He family, Grandmother He worked hard, and even established a deep friendship with Mrs. Sheng, so that He Hongwen created an opportunity for He Hongwen to contact Minglan. However, all this is ruined by the stupid actions of Mrs. Cao and her sister. The Cao family's behavior was extremely blatant and unscrupulous, which undoubtedly aroused the anger of everyone.
Despite the anger in Grandmother He's heart, she still handled the matter calmly. She used a hairpin to expose the truth that Cao Jinxiu was no longer complete. She sternly ordered: "Since you have a hairpin, let Jin'er coil up her hair." Her dress should also be changed, not like a little girl. Mrs. Cao's quibbles pale in front of Grandmother He, and she was so frightened that she sweated. It turned out that the Cao family had already sold their daughter to a military attache as a concubine when they were in Liangzhou. It was only after this amnesty that they ransomed her back and tried to use her to cling to the He family. In ancient times, it was very difficult for a broken flower like Cao Jinxiu to marry an ordinary family, let alone the He family of the official eunuch family. The Cao family's behavior is obviously to deceive the ignorant He Mu, using her family affection to achieve their ulterior purposes.
Grandmother He had already seen through these conspiracies and did not take the Cao family seriously. She desperately suppressed them strongly. However, marriage requires both parties to be consensual, and Mrs. Sheng has to consider He's mother's attitude and how He Hongwen will treat these people in his aunt's family after he returns. The malicious interference of the Cao family undoubtedly cast a shadow on the relationship between the Sheng He family. For the Sheng family, this is not a good thing. The behavior of the Cao family is really inching. Just as Mrs. Sheng was worried, her concerns were soon fulfilled one by one. After He Hongwen returned to the capital, he first went to the Sheng family to express his determination. However, as soon as he left the Sheng Mansion, he was entangled by Cao Jinxiu, and was even dragged by her to the grove next to him to tell his heartfelt feelings. Cao Jinxiu told the story of how they picked pomegranate flowers, tied lotus lanterns and rabbit lanterns together when they were children. Seeing her thin and sick appearance, He Hongwen felt pity and felt in a dilemma with her request. Cousin Cao didn't have the luxury of becoming his concubine, she just hoped to be the maid who served tea and water by his side, and she was satisfied to see him from time to time.
Look at how humble this is, how wronged, and how white it is! The pathos and sorrow revealed in Cousin Cao's words, as well as her humble request, moved He Hongwen to tears. He turned to ask Minglan to accept her. This trick is really insidious and makes people feel sick. Minglan was so angry that her chest was surging with blood! There is always such a person in life, who pursues the crooked theory of "I am weak and I am reasonable", and can turn black and white right and wrong upside down. Cao Jinxiu and her family know this well. Cao Jinxiu did this, wasn't she afraid that Grandmother He would expose her and make her never see her cousin again? So she first put on a humble posture, admitting that she was ruined and ruined, and she didn't expect to become a concubine, but just 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 asked Minglan to treat her as a roadside begging for food: I have been humbled and begged like this, and I will not compete with you for favor in the future, if you don't agree, then you will be vicious and jealous! Cao Jinxiu did this, it was so self-deceptive.
Before she also teamed up with her mother, 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 could she be willing to be an ordinary girl or concubine? Her purpose is at least the identity of a noble concubine. However, her performance was too clumsy and her judgment of the situation was also wrong. There is no grass at the end of the world, Minglan does not have to be He Hongwen, people have many choices, only Mrs. Sheng has several options to choose from. So Minglan broke through Cousin Cao's words on the spot. The following is a newly created article, I hope it meets your requirements: Your father committed a sin and coveted ill-gotten gains. As vested interests, you have been duly punished. This is karma, how can you talk about pity? How does your situation compare to the orphans and widows left behind in the Xiaoliangshan mine disaster? If you are redeemed by your parents and brought back to the capital, your situation is indeed worthy of sympathy. But have you ever thought about those sisters and sisters who have never been treated well? They may have been sold to a place of misery and forced to live in a bitter cold place, aren't they pitiful?
What happened to Cousin Cao is indeed distressing, but if you really want to help her, there is not only one way to accept her as a concubine. You can consider preparing a dowry for her, helping her find a good family, and supporting her in the future. Wouldn't it be better that way? After all, I can't accept serving a husband with her. He Hongwen, a person worthy of respect. He has rules, a gentle personality, self-reliance, and superb medical skills. Even if he doesn't have a relationship with Minglan , he has a lot of famous ladies to choose from. However, the Cao family grabbed him like a life-saving straw and refused to let go. In addition, his confused mother always staged a sisterly drama, wanting his sister's family to live a good life. This made He Hongwen unable to get rid of their entanglement. The most hateful thing is an honest person like He Mu. If it weren't for the fact that the He family's grandfather and grandmother were still strong and strong, she would not have been able to protect the family business assigned to the third room. She was in poor health and was bedridden all the year round, but she never wanted to die. When treating the Cao family, she does not distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad! Before the accident in the Cao family, she intended to marry her sister's family, but at that time, the Cao family looked down on their orphans and widows and refused to agree. Now, the Cao family is in ruins, but it is like an octopus that entangles her and He Hongwen.
Emergencies are not poor. The Cao family has men and sons, and they are obviously capable of saving themselves, but they blindly rely on others. The He family had given enough help, but they were greedy and refused to let go. What a sinister intention? We should be wary of such people and not let them take advantage of our compassion and kindness. "We didn't have to worry about the Cao family's daily expenses, but they were insatiable. The people of the Cao family are not only not satisfied with the status quo, but are becoming more and more excessive. They took advantage of my mother's kindness and compassion to trick her into making unwise decisions. The mother actually used her son's family property to subsidize the Cao family, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to our family. What's even more infuriating is that they also promised to let Cao Jinxiu enter the door in front of Minglan , which undoubtedly ruined my grandmother's carefully planned marriage plan. However, in the face of our predicament and my mother's suffering, Mrs. Cao has no gratitude. No matter what the mother's physical condition is, if she is slightly dissatisfied, she will make a big noise. She complained, "O my poor daughter! It's your parents who have mistaken you. We originally thought that when we returned to the capital, your cousin would take care of you. But the world is unpredictable, and he has now climbed to a high branch. How could he care if you lived or died! My child, if you die with your mother, who would have let you have such a ruthless aunt and cousin! ”
The people of the Cao family don't know how to be grateful, no matter how much we have done for them and how much we have helped, they take it for granted. When we go against their will, they become resentful and even retaliate. He Hongwen's decision to accept his cousin as a concubine attracted insults and attacks from the Cao family. They attacked He Hongwen mercilessly, and even physically attacked and slandered him. And Cao Jinxiu played the trick of crying and hanging to force He Hongwen to comply. However, in this farce, a shocking secret is hidden. It turned out that Cao Jinxiu was once poured a large amount of safflower soup when she was a concubine, resulting in infertility. Therefore, she could not marry and have children with other people, and had to rely on He Hongwen. This brutal reality is deeply distressing and outrageous. If we knew this secret from the beginning and let her marry He Hongwen, then we would undoubtedly be conniving at her evil deeds, which is no different from harming others.
In the end, He Hongwen had to agree to the decision to take his cousin as a concubine under his mother's tears and his cousin's tragic experience, but this decision not only made him lose his dominant position in the marriage market, but also buried huge hidden dangers for his family, and his future life became more complicated and uncertain, making it impossible to predict all the changes in the future. Although the He family is not illustrious and wealthy, its advantage is that it has long been separated, He Hongwen has a rich family property, and he also has excellent medical skills to support the family. However, since He Hongwen accepted Cao Jinxiu as a concubine, his status has plummeted. It is already taboo to take a concubine before marrying a wife, not to mention that it is a noble concubine, a niece of a mother-in-law, and a cousin of a husband. What girl would think twice before marrying into such a family, right?
Fortunately, the grandfathers and grandmothers of the He family are still in good health, and Grandfather He personally came forward to scold his daughter-in-law, forbidding her to use silver to supplement the Cao family, otherwise she would be divorced. However, after He Mu was threatened by her father-in-law, not only did she not repent, but found a loophole. She gave the silver to Cao Jinxiu, who was her aunt, and then she transferred it to the Cao family. This begs the question, what exactly does she think? This is also too unreliable! Looking at the men of the Cao family again, after they took the money, they did not use it on the right path, but spent all day looking for flowers and willows, stealing chickens and touching dogs. Not only that, but they also put up the money to sell their children, forcing people to sell their sons and daughters. Grandmother He was very angry about this. After Grandfather He retired, in order to prevent her grandson from being bound by filial piety, she took decisive action, did not care about the life and death of Mother He, returned to her hometown with Aunt Cao, and cut ties with two women related to the Cao family. "Maybe you think that the Cao family is more important than your own son, but I am a ruthless person, and I only think that my grandson is the most important! "Subsequently, she carefully selected and finally found a daughter of a low-ranking military attache for her grandson. Despite this, with the support of the He family, the new daughter-in-law still took a lot of trouble to straighten out the family.
However, as Minglan once said, Cao Jinxiu was not satisfied with being an ordinary concubine. After He Hongwen got married, her behavior really caused a series of problems. She pretended to be sick and sold miserably, trying to gain the upper hand in front of He Hongwen, who was highly skilled in medicine. She relied on the power of He Mu's power to force He Hongwen to go to her room, which further deepened He Hongwen's disgust and disgust with her. What's worse is that the aim is to improve the flow and readability of the text while maintaining the original meaning: when He Hongwen's mother was seriously ill, she even 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 could not have children. However, the truth of the facts is staggering. She conspired with her father and brother to arrange a pregnant maid to climb under the effect of He Hongwen's drugs. This maid often passes items to the Cao family on her behalf, and has already secretly communicated with her brother, and she is two months pregnant. They are plotting to embezzle the He family's property. After this incident, He's mother was greatly stimulated and unfortunately passed away. Fortunately, Grandmother He has always been vigilant about the Cao family, and she insisted that Aunt Cao or Mother He accompany her to live in Baishitan's hometown, and assigned her granddaughter-in-law to closely monitor the other person. This made it impossible for them to hide their crimes, and also gave them the punishment they deserved.
In addition, Grandma He herself has a rich historical background. She does not pursue the love of the vows, she only hopes to have the company of her children and the thoughtfulness of her husband to live a stable life. She was born in a military attache family, her family background is acceptable, her father and brother can rely on her, and she is accustomed to life in the market, and is not bound by the red tape of high-ranking families. The experience of working with her mother since she was a child has made her develop a strong and straightforward character, and she will not flinch in the face of the Cao family. Moreover, she has a shrewd and capable mother-in-law and grandmother as the backing, and she will beat Aunt Cao when she should beat her, and scold her when she should scold, so she doesn't need to hide her unhappiness. She is able to cope with a variety of situations with ease. "First clean up the concubine's room, then settle the mother-in-law, and then pretend to be a loving husband and wife with her husband. After the death of her mother-in-law, Grandma He completely eliminated the hidden danger of Aunt Cao to ensure the safety of a pair of children and no longer let her endanger the family.
