Envy her sister's love Xiao Qin is a young lady in Dongchang Houfu, but there are many older sisters Daqin above her, so Xiao Qin watched the fairy-like love of her sister and brother-in-law since she was a child, because their love was envious. Daqin's family is also very beautiful, but she is in poor health, sickly, unable to manage housework and have more children, so the Qin family has always been not very good to her.
Fortunately, her luck is even better. She met the old duke who took care of her family, and then the old duke fell in love with her at first sight, so she had to not marry. The old duke's parents once objected, but the old duke was stubborn and insisted on marrying Daqin. His father disapproved of his marriage, and then the old duke went to the battlefield to kill the enemy desperately, not to kill himself. Finally, the parents compromised, so they helped their son find a job and married Daqin. So Xiao Qin envies her sister's love. She also wants to have such immortal love and a husband who loves herself.
When the family comes down, the dowry is not much. Before being divorced by the old duke, Daqin died because she was too sad and weak after giving birth. Then the Qin family came down, and then Xiaoqin's sister-in-law wanted Xiaoqin to fill the house for the old duke. Because the Qin family can't get too much dowry, and they are familiar with filling the house for the old duke, there is no need to give too much dowry.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Qin, as a young lady of Dongchang Houfu, was forced to marry the old duke. In fact, she yearns for love, but her love dream is also broken. So I feel that Xiao Qin is still very painful. Her life can't be decided by herself, but at the mercy of her sister-in-law.
To sum up, when she first married the old duke, Xiao Qin was very reluctant, but later she listened to her sister-in-law, treated the old duke well and integrated into the family. But Xiao Qin was a little paranoid, and finally did a lot of bad things, ruining his life and the future of his children and grandchildren. Therefore, women in ancient society were still miserable and unhappy all their lives.
