In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled
Chapter 21 Preparing the Betrothal Gift
The next morning, Su Yueyao got up early and sat at the desk, writing and drawing.
The betrothal gift given to the man is usually something made by the woman herself.
Most of them were purses of common people, while some of the women of noble families embroidered screens and ornaments.
The best thing is to sew a piece of clothing for the man.
There are also girls from aristocratic families who have been educated since childhood and would write a poem to express their love for the man, or draw a picture for the man. This is relatively difficult, so few girls do this.
Because women are scarce and each woman marries too many men, the wedding banquets for men and women here are very simple. The ceremony is completed when the elders from both sides are present and the two people worship each other in the hall. If the family is prosperous, brothers and sisters from both sides will also be present.
There is no need to set up a banquet at the wedding, but boiled red eggs will be distributed to the neighbors at the door to let everyone share in the good fortune.
The woman's betrothal gift will also be placed in front of the door for passers-by to see, so if the woman's betrothal gift is larger, it means that the man's wife loves and is satisfied with him very much, which will make the man very proud.
Nowadays, women have been spoiled by their families since childhood. If a woman marries a man she likes, she will make preparations herself. Even if she marries a man she doesn't like, she will use purchased items.
It can be said that a woman's love is very important. No matter how high an official a man holds outside, he must serve his wife well when he returns home. Only if he can win the favor of his wife in the backyard will he have a chance to make the woman give birth to a child for them.
Power and status are of almost no use to women. What is important is to please women. The court's protection of women is almost to the point of not wanting to see women suffer any injustice.
A man who was divorced by a woman could not marry again. Officials would be dismissed from their posts, wealthy businessmen would be fined, and ordinary people would be caned.
After the punishment, the man would be forced to go into exile by the government. Once he got married, he would have no way out.
Under such harsh conditions, men were also willing to marry off their wives, for fear that they would be forced into exile or sent to slavery by the government when they turned 22.
Secondly, they also wanted to leave behind a descendant of their own. If they could leave behind a girl, their family would be passed on slowly.
In Su Yueyao's opinion, men here are a bit miserable. First, they have to give dowry to marry themselves off. After marriage, they have to work to earn money for their wives, and they have to please and serve their wives. If they don't satisfy their wives, they will be punished and beaten at the least, and lose their favor at the worst. They don't want to be wronged and not marry! The court also has age restrictions, forcing them to marry.
In fact, it feels good to think about it! In Su Yueyao's mind, women from ancient times to modern times are inferior to men. Women in ancient times were bought and sold at will, trampled on, and so many feudal customs persecuted so many women.
The men here have only experienced so little! Su Yueyao suppressed the bitterness in her heart.
Since she came to this world and enjoyed the service of men, she just had to accept it with peace of mind. She had no intention of changing anything. She was just an ordinary person, not the heroine in a cool drama!
But she can do what she can to repay those who are good to her in the same way, and other people can't do anything about it.
So she didn't want to let Yang Qianxun down with her betrothal gift. She wanted to draw a picture for him and say a few words to show that she valued him. After all, she still liked Yang Qianxun very much and he doted on her very much.
This is also the best betrothal gift she can give at the moment.
The key is that she really doesn't know how to embroider! If she knew she would travel through time, she probably wouldn't have learned embroidery! Many embroidery techniques are now intangible cultural heritage, and she has no chance to learn them!
"Sir, the lady is in the room with something to deal with, so she won't see you. Please go and take care of other things first." Just as Yang Qianxun arrived at Su Yueyao's door, Chunri appeared and interrupted him.
"I see. Has the lady had breakfast yet?"
"The early slave has already brought it in for the lady."
"Okay! You and Chunshuang stay here and serve. If you have anything, go to my yard to find Chunyu." Yang Qianxun instructed.
"Good son."
Yang Qianxun glanced at the door and left. He took this opportunity to look at the account books that the shop owners had sent him the day before. They would rely on these shops to settle down in Yi County for a long time.
Neither of them was disturbed by each other until noon, when Su Yueyao stretched her arms and finally finished. Looking at the painting in front of her, she thought it was okay.
Su Yueyao was painting a landscape, with Yang Qianxun riding a horse in the middle. The whole painting was very artistic, and it seemed that no one here had ever painted this kind of real artistic conception.
Most of the artists here prefer realistic line painting style, but the color blending is very stiff, and they don't seem to be able to deliberately adjust the colors, so the paintings are monotonous and ugly.
However, when Su Yueyao was in college, she loved painting. She took painting classes at the Art College and reluctantly bought some paints. When she had free time or was in a bad mood, painting was her way to relax.
This is also thanks to Hyundai's own preferences! Otherwise, she doesn't know what to do...
Finally, Su Yueyao looked at her own painting, picked up the brush, and wrote on the paper beside her many times before she wrote "Lang Yan is unique, there is no other like her in the world" on the painting.
She really could not forget the first time she saw Yang Qianxun, who was dressed in white and cool and handsome. It is undeniable that she actually cares a lot about appearance! At any time, appearance is really important!!!
"Would your lady like to have lunch? The young master is already waiting in the dining room." Haruhi knocked on the door and said.
"I'll be right there." Su Yueyao put the brush away and hung up the painting to let it dry. She looked down at her clothes that were stained with ink and said, "I need to change my clothes. Let the young master eat first!"
"Okay lady."
After changing her clothes, Su Yueyao went straight to the dining room and found Yang Qianxun sitting on a chair beside her, reading a booklet and waiting for her without eating first.
"Why didn't Qianqian eat first?"
"Of course I have to wait for Yueyao. I just happen to have some things to deal with, so it won't affect me." Yang Qianxun stood up immediately when he saw Su Yueyao.
The other servants immediately saluted and left.
"After dinner, the betrothal gift I prepared for Qianqian is ready. Qianqian, come and see if you like it?" Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"Yuyao didn't leave her room all morning because she was preparing a betrothal gift for me?" Yang Qianxun said with a smile, his eyes lighting up.
"Yeah! I don't know if you like it or not. If you don't like it, I'll prepare it for you again!"
"As long as Yueyao prepares it herself, I like it. Thank you Yueyao."
"You're welcome. Let's eat! I'm hungry!" Su Yueyao said to the happy Yang Qianxun.
She actually wasn't sure whether Yang Qianxun liked that style of painting, after all, no one here painted like that.
Yang Qianxun was eager to see the betrothal gift prepared by Su Yueyao, so he ate very quickly. Su Yueyao looked a little helpless. If she had known he was so excited, she would have told him after eating.
