Chapter Fifty-two Analysis

  ♂?,,

  A young girl's heart beats fast, it is sweet and shy, slightly sour is the anxiety of gain and loss, slightly sweet is that moment of heartbeat and infatuation, needs to be shared with others. Baidu search Wu Dong Qian Kun latest chapter Qian Zhao lost her mother since childhood, although Qian Lao Ye was not a kind father, but his daughter's private affairs were hard to mention to him. Qian Qing spoiled and cared for her younger sister, but she herself was confused about love, as simple as a blank sheet of paper, otherwise Qian Qing would not have fallen in love with Wang Cheng at first sight, and insisted on marrying him.

  Ding Rou has been with Qian Zhao for over a month, and although Ding Rou is younger than Qian Zhao, she is calm and astute. Qian Zhao admires and trusts Ding Rou's character, so she secretly tells Ding Rou about her crush on her cousin Yang Mo.

  "Rou meimei, I and Biao Ge have poured out our hearts to each other. We are meant to be together." Qian Zhao bit her lip, Ding Rou could see her determination, and asked softly: "What about Yang Mo?"

  Qian Zhao's face turned red with embarrassment, adding a few more points of shyness and charm, "He is his aunt's only son, the third young master of the Chu Ling Wang Fu."

  As expected, Ding Ruo Xin's heart sank, because she didn't know how many sisters Qian Laoban had. Although Ding Ruo guessed that the "brother" in Qian Zhao's mouth was probably Chu Ling Wang's son, she still held some hope that it wasn't him, but it turned out to be Chu Ling Wang's illegitimate child after all. Ding Ruo asked again: "What did he say? Is he coming to propose?"

  Qian Zhao's face turned even redder as she muttered: "After older sister gets married, he said he would invite the matchmaker to come and propose."

  The elderly and the young have their order, the ancients attached great importance to this point. Ding Rou furrowed her brow, Yang Mo was Qian Zhao's maternal cousin. According to legend, cousins were very common and respected in ancient times, although close relatives marrying might affect future generations. Ding Rou wasn't too worried about this, only Yang Mo's identity as a prince's illegitimate son made him unsuitable for marriage with a merchant's daughter as his official wife. The status of merchants was still somewhat lower, Qian Zhao's aunt had given birth to sons many years ago and now she was just a madam, not even a secondary wife. How could Yang Mo's mother, Qian Shi, who was Qian Zhao's paternal aunt, let her son marry Qian Zhao as his official wife? It wasn't that she didn't love Qian Zhao, but Qian Shi loved her son more.

  "Does Madame Chuling know?"

  "We haven't told anyone about our affair, it's all about feelings and propriety. Gentle sister, I'm not a reckless person." Qian Zhao saw Ding Rou's serious face and thought that as the descendant of a family known for their poetry and etiquette, Ding Rou looked down on her private interactions with her cousin, so she explained: "I dare to swear to heaven that my cousin and I haven't done anything improper, gentle sister, I won't tarnish our reputation or the Qian family's honor."

  Ding Rou grasped Qian Zhao's hand, "I was wronged to death, I never misunderstood Sister Zhao."

  Upon hearing Ding Rou's words, Qian Zhao's expression improved slightly. "Then why ask about my aunt? If I were to tell her, she would surely agree. My aunt dotes on us sisters. Firstly, I didn't want to bypass my elder sister, and secondly, my cousin said that after he is enfeoffed, he will formally marry me and bring me over."

  The only chance for the younger sons of the royal family to become nobles was through imperial examination, as the Taizu Emperor had decreed that the sons of noble families were not allowed to enter the imperial court due to the chaos caused by the Hidden King's rebellion. The Empress Dowager had established a rule that only the eldest son could inherit the title and property, and even the most talented younger sons did not have the qualifications to inherit the title. After coming of age, younger sons could only rely on their ancestors' merits and the emperor's examination to be granted a title and salary, which varied in rank but guaranteed a certain status and stipend. The emperor's examination was a complex process that took into account two main factors: one's birth and one's wife's family background.

  Ding Rou had heard that a younger son of a marquis's family, after marrying the eldest daughter of the current second-in-command, was granted the title of viscount by the emperor. Later, with the support of his wife's family, he lived a rather good life, even more glorious than the eldest son who inherited the marquis title. This became an example for the younger sons of noble families to be more cautious in choosing their wives.

  Qian Zhao is not bad in any aspect, the hardest to deal with is the daughter of a merchant. Ding Rou has never seen Yang Mo and cannot determine if he is someone who cares about his title or not. If Yang Mo doesn't care about being enfeoffed, then Qian Zhao would be a good match for him, but what if Yang Mo... Qian Zhao will inevitably suffer from heartbreak. With the love of Money Old Master's daughter, he won't let his daughter become a concubine and live under the wife's thumb again. It's not easy being a concubine in the wife's household. The Madam also can't say anything, Yang Mo is just a nominal husband under Chu Ling Wang's queen, Qian Shi is the king's sister-in-law, not the real mother-in-law. Yang Mo's wife respects the queen and treats Qian Shi with superficial affection. It's possible to encounter an arrogant and unreasonable daughter-in-law who ignores Qian Shi.

  Ding Rou thought for a moment, and suggested: "Since Chu Ling Wang's wife loves Shao sister so much, and the third young master has feelings for her, what's wrong with telling the madam? If Shao sister values this cousin of hers, he must be an extraordinary person. Who knows, maybe the madam will arrange a marriage for him too, that would be troublesome. We have an understanding, after Qing sister gets married, I can attend Shao sister's wedding banquet, looks like I need to prepare two dowry gifts."

  "Soft little sister, when others are talking seriously, you always divert the topic elsewhere and ignore them."

  Qian Zhao turned away, not looking at Ding Rou, her exposed neck and throat flushing bright red. Ding Rou sighed inwardly, thinking that emotional women had zero IQ, she didn't understand the implication of her own words. There were loves in this world that could move mountains and seas, but Ding Rou didn't have confidence that she would encounter such a love. She didn't believe that love could remain untainted by power and status. In her past life, she had already possessed both power and status, yet she was still betrayed.

  In this life, I crossed into the Great Qin, ancient men thought more, especially the sons of the royal family. The status of a son from the same father was vastly different, not to mention the competition, it's just that people wouldn't be convinced in their hearts. Being born into the royal family, even as a concubine's child, is extremely noble, and would be respected by others outside. Marrying a merchant's daughter, Ding Rou didn't think ordinary men could achieve this. When emotions began to sprout, it was better to clarify and cut off early on, rather than sinking deeply into the mud and suffering despair later on.

  At the same time, Ding Ruo also thought that if Yang Mo was a person who valued emotions and loyalty, clarifying things with Qian Shi would also allow Qian Shi and Chu Ling Wang Fei to worry less about his personal affairs, which would reduce a lot of trouble. Ding Ruo didn't want Qian Zhao to get hurt in her heart, she wasn't a naive little girl who had just grown up, but a mature soul with a deeper understanding than people of the same age. Even if Qian Shi's hurdle was passed, it didn't mean that Chu Ling Wang Taifei would agree to let her grandson marry Qian Zhao as his legitimate wife.

  Ding Rou's hand rested on Qian Zhao's shoulder, "I've known Sister Zhao for a long time, and I wholeheartedly hope that Sister Zhao can be happy for the rest of her life. However, when it comes to marriage arrangements, we must obey our parents' wishes. No matter how good we are, we cannot surpass our parents. If we hide the truth from our aunt, who dotes on us, it will disappoint Madame Chu Ling."

  Ding Ruo's words stopped here, and she wouldn't say anything more. She also didn't have the opportunity to interrupt, as a marriage that wasn't approved by her parents would be difficult to be happy in ancient times, where there were too many complicated rules.

  Qian Zhao fell silent for a moment before weakly saying: "Do you think Princess Chu Ling will agree?"

  She also knew the difficulties involved, so Ding Rou hooked her mouth and Qian Zhao was not yet out of his mind, Ding Rou could also be at ease. "This depends on Young Master Yang Mo." The marriage of Yang Mo was in the hands of Princess Chu Ling.

  I'm so excited tonight, I received a reward from He Shi Bi, haha, thank you for the reward from Purple Wind Long Song, thank you.
