Chapter 17: The Five Types of Women That Men Should Not Marry

  Zheng Suxin would never forget the look of disappointment on Wu's family face when she first gave birth to this child.

  That year and more, she didn't know how she got through day after day, night after night.

  Wu Changge is the eldest son of the Wu family. As a result, his legitimate daughter-in-law gave birth to their first child, and it turned out to be a blind and stupid daughter!

  Grandfather and grandmother are actually people with good breeding, and they dote on their eldest son Wu Changge the most. So, they were disappointed in Zheng Suhe's daughter, but generally speaking, they still care about her very much and actively help her find all sorts of rare medicinal herbs to treat the child's eye disease.

  But other people in Wu's family were not so easy to talk to.

  That year, all she heard was cold ridicule and saw people gloating over her misfortune.

  She married into the Wu family that year and became the wife of Wu Changge, the number one handsome man in the capital, envied by countless noble ladies in the capital.

  But in just one year, she became the laughing stock of everyone.

  If they just mocked Zheng Suhui, that would be fine. What she can't tolerate is that these people won't even spare a child!

  She didn't know how many rumors she had heard about her own daughter.

  Daughter was born blind and foolish, is it her daughter's fault? !

  It's obviously her fault as a mother...

  Zheng Suxin is a strong and resilient person, the more unfavorable the situation, the more she can hold on.

  She didn't give up and neither did her daughter, in the end they won the final victory!

  When her daughter Wu Yanjuan opened those eyes that seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog in front of everyone, everyone was stunned.

  What a beautiful pair of eyes!

  Autumn waters are insufficient to describe its spirit, cold stars are insufficient to describe its color, bright pearls are insufficient to describe its soul.

  Thick eyelashes are black and slender, fluttering like butterfly wings.

  The most astonishing thing was that Old Man Wu was the first to exclaim: "Rebirth! Juan'er is actually reborn!"

  The legend of the Double Pupils was known to everyone in the Great Xia Empire, but no one had ever seen it with their own eyes.

  Although ordinary people have never seen it, the heads of the four major families and members of the royal family know more about it.

  Not having seen the real person, but having seen their portrait.

  The ancestors of the Daxia royal family passed down a portrait, which is a close-up of a pair of double pupils. Along with it are four words that say "Double Pupils Appear, Sage Born". Behind it are two more sentences, but somehow they were erased by someone and no matter how much restoration was done, they cannot be seen.

  This painting is now hung in the ancestral temple of the Daxia Imperial Palace, alongside the portrait of the founding emperor of Daxia.

  Anyone who has been to the ancestral temple of the Xia Dynasty has seen this painting.

  Only the heads of the four major families, the Emperor of Daxia and his princes are qualified to enter the ancestral temple of the Daxia royal family.

  Empresses and empresses are not qualified to enter the ancestral temple. The queen mother is also not allowed.

  These are ancestral teachings, clearly written on iron plaques standing at the gate of the ancestral temple.

  Mr. Wu recognized Chong Tong and couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

  He had always admired the Zheng family's generations of literary talents, and later even produced a stunning genius like Zheng Xiangrong.

  Unexpectedly, the most anticipated Rebirth of the Great Xia Dynasty was actually born in their Wu family!

  This is more useful than one hundred great writers...

  Mr. Wu was very pleased with his initial decision, agreeing to let his eldest son marry Zheng Suhui, the elder daughter of a widow, as his first wife.

  According to the rules of the Daxia Empire, when marrying a wife, there are five cases where marriage is not allowed:

  First, a girl from a disobedient family will not be married. A girl from a disobedient family refers to a woman with a reputation for being disobedient. Once a woman is labeled as "disobedient", she is basically useless in the marriage market, and no family wants to marry a woman who does not respect her elders. This is also why sometimes, even if a woman is oppressed by her elders, she can only swallow her anger and remain silent. If she resists, she will be labeled as "disobedient" and it's better for her to reincarnate again.

  Second, a woman who has committed adultery is not to be married. This refers to women who have engaged in promiscuous behavior. It goes without saying that everyone knows this kind of person is no good. However, the fact that "a woman who has committed adultery" comes after "a disobedient daughter" shows just how serious the crime of disobedience is...

  Thirdly, there are women who have been punished and cannot get married. These women refer to those who have been arrested by the government and received punishments such as tattooing, cutting off the nose, castration, amputation of limbs, and shaving the hair.

  Fourth, there are evil diseases that do not marry. Evil diseases refer to scabies, deafness, blindness, leprosy, baldness, lameness, and hunchback, as well as evil diseases that do not reach human ethics. The last "not reaching human ethics" refers to women who cannot perform husband-wife affairs and cannot give birth to children.

  Fifth, a widow's eldest daughter is not married. The reason for not marrying the widow's eldest daughter is that she has no teaching or discipline. In simple terms, it means that girls who have lost their mothers since childhood are considered to be poorly educated at home, so they are unwilling to marry them as wives.

  According to the "Five Don'ts", Zheng Suxin belongs to the fifth one, "widow's eldest daughter". Even if she can get married, it is absolutely impossible for her to marry into a big family like Wu's as a main wife.

  But Wu Changge was very fond of her and made great efforts at home to persuade his parents to accept Zheng Suhuan.

  Mr. Wu had been noncommittal until Zheng Su-hen's younger sister, Zheng Xiang-rong, began to show her talent at the age of eight and gained a reputation for her writing skills. It was only then that Mr. Wu changed his opinion about the Zheng family's upbringing. After making thorough inquiries about Zheng Su-hen and discovering that she was still the closed disciple of Old Master Sheng, he finally made up his mind and agreed to marry Zheng Su-hen as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family.

  It turned out that this decision of his was absolutely the best deal he had ever made in his life, with a return on investment far exceeding his expectations.

  Zheng Suxin married into the Wu family and in just half a year, she became familiar with the complex relationships among hundreds of people above and below her, plus the servants and attendants, several thousand mouths waiting for her to allocate and balance, but she managed everything in an orderly manner within half a year.

  Madam Wu brought her along for only half a year before entrusting her with managing the central courtyard of the Wu household.

  Later, Zheng Suhui also became a red person in the empress dowager due to her extraordinary medical skills, bringing great benefits to the Wu family.

  The world did not want to marry the "widow's eldest daughter" Zheng Suhui, but in the end she became a fragrant pastry, while the talented Zheng Xiangrong was like a fleeting fragrance and left the world early.

  The fate of these two sisters is truly a lamentable thing for the world.

  Zheng Suxin carefully examined her daughter's eyes and said with satisfaction: "Juan'er, come, mother will take you to see your grandparents."

  Mr. and Mrs. Wu loved their granddaughter Wu Yujuan more than their grandson, she was the apple of their eye.

  ……

  It's time for school again, Sheng Siyan carries a small flower cloth backpack and goes to the school with Wang Ergou.

  Niu Xiaoye came to the school building of Rongyu Girls' School, and hurriedly said to Sheng Siyan: "Come on! Today we're getting new books! From now on, we'll be learning these things." As she spoke, she placed four brand-new thread-bound books that still smelled of ink on Sheng Siyan's desk.

  Sheng Siyan quickly swept her eyes over him.

  "Nu Jie", "Nei Xun", "Nu Lun Yu" and "Nu Fan Jie Lu". —— Are the Four Books for Women really to be grasped from childhood, with three obediences and four virtues?

  Sheng Siyan: "=_=" Mom, this world is too crazy, I want to go home!

  We must vote, dear, tears~~~~
