Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 145 Du Ruo's Reputation

After listening to Liu Qingshuang's explanation, a hint of displeasure flashed across Du Ruo's brows, and she stretched out her hand to take off the flower on her head.
    "What are you doing!" Liu Qingping quickly stopped her.

    "I don't want anyone to pick and choose it! It's like a commodity!" Du Ruo said generously.

    After hearing her words, the Liu sisters frowned and looked at her strangely, "Who treats you as a commodity?"

    "Those people!" Du Ruo looked towards Lu Lingjun.

    At this time, Lu Lingjun was drinking tea and eating snacks with a group of ladies and noble women. A group of people surrounded her, talking and laughing.

    Their eyes fell here from time to time.

    "They treat us as commodities and let others take a fancy to us and resell them!" Du Ruo looked indignant.

    "You think too much!" Liu Qingping said directly.

    "That's right. This is an occasion for getting to know each other. The ladies who come here are all serious. They either have young men or young ladies of appropriate age in their families. They are all looking for the young men in their family seriously. They will carefully consider their character, appearance, and family background. How can they be looking at commodities?" Liu Qingshuang looked displeased.

    They all came to the banquet seriously.

    In this era, women get married at the behest of their parents and matchmakers, but their parents also put their heart and soul into it.

    They know that their elders bring them to such banquets in order to expand their circle and give them more choices.

    How could it be like what Du Ruo said, treating them as commodities and selling them at a cheap price at will.

    If this is the case, why bother holding a banquet? Just curry favor with the powerful and send your daughter to them.

    There is no need to consider whether the two families are well matched, just focus on maximizing benefits.

    Women had a low status in this era, but parents would do their best to make their daughters live a good life within the limited choices they had.

    "I don't like it anyway!" Du Ruo couldn't listen.

    She reached out to pull out the hairpin on her head.

    "Ouch, what are you doing!?"

    "Don't pull it out! My elder sister dressed it up specially for you."

    "That's right. Look how much my elder sister cares about you. Your outfit is the most eye-catching in this garden!"

    "How can you be so ungrateful!"

    Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang tried to dissuade him.

    Du Ruo was even more displeased when she heard this, and took off her hair flower, "I don't need such kindness!"

    Seeing this, Liu Qingping lost her patience and felt that Du Ruo was unreasonable. She sneered, "Oh! Do you really think you can be chosen just by coming here?"

    "Yes," Liu Qingshuang looked at Du Ruo and lost her good attitude, "With your appearance, who would look down on you? Go ahead and pick them off. Even if you wear a phoenix crown, no one will look down on you!"

    "What a waste of our eldest sister's kindness."

    Du Ruoke didn't like what was said.

    She just didn't like the fact that she was picked on by a group of old women, but she couldn't accept that she couldn't even catch the eyes of a group of old women!
