Marriage in Troubled Times

"If I have money, I will definitely come back and marry you."

The gates of the big houses on the streets of Beicheng are bustling. Although it is an era of war and chaos, the fun of these women and children will not change no matter what time it is. Most of the stories are told for reasons. .

How boldly the young man who was just thrown out fell in love with the only young lady in the mansion. In this era, one can imagine the background of a person who can sit on such a land in Beicheng.

The people in the house are either classic and elegant, or fresh and funny, which is something that a ragged teenager can covet. It is not too much for people nowadays to want to have a full meal, but it is too much to hope for Gao Zhi.

The boy left in the midst of people's playful voices, but he remembered the faces of these people today, and also remembered the shame and humiliation he suffered in this place today.

With a sound of Peng, the gate of the house was closed, but there was no sign of stopping inside, and places with many people were full of drama.

The big tree attracts the wind, and the mansion is the focus of the streets and alleys. Naturally, it is the focus of women and children. Everything in the mansion will spread to everyone's mouths in the streets and alleys.

No, the storyteller listened to the drama just after it was staged. He was talking cheerfully in Fengyue Tower, adding fuel and vinegar, elevating the tall people high and trampling the lowly people down. The gap between rich and poor is the capital and justification they talk about.

"Hey, master, look at what the lady has learned outside."

"That's right, master, our Li family was originally a place where people talk about it, but now we are going to be ashamed to death."

The two people on the left and the one on the right are the concubines of the owner of the mansion, and they want to wear all the gold and silver on their heads, but the woman sitting next to the main seat said nothing. Without saying anything, he looked at the little girl sitting in the next seat with sympathetic eyes.

The little girl was wearing a school uniform, and it was too cold in winter, so the maid who took care of her specially took out the cloak and put it on for the young lady.

The little girl looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she is already a character who makes young people blush in the streets and alleys. In addition, the master loves this young lady very much, so she can study in school like other rich children.That is because of reading, the young lady began not to respect her father's whole meaning so much.

The rules in this house are conservative, but the place where she studies is a place with new ideas, so she is a cage here.

"Sisi, tell Dad how on earth did you know this person."

Because it is the old man's favorite, and although he has many concubines and several sons, he only has one daughter, and she is really afraid of getting cold when she holds it in her hand, or melts in her mouth.

"Father, Tang Xiu and I are really in love, how can you ask someone to throw him out?"

Although Mr. Li is nice to talk to his well-behaved woman, his well-behaved daughter has not been so well-behaved since she went to school. She has learned to growl, express thoughts different from her own, and even say some outrageous things. .

"Send the lady back to the room."

Although his daughter was a bit rebellious, Master Li loved this child more than anything, so he didn't say a single harsh word, and directly asked someone to send the young lady back to the room.

"Dad, you can't restrict my freedom, I will definitely marry him."

"Presumptuous, the children of my Li family are absolutely not allowed to associate with beggars."

Although the owner of this family dotes on the little girl, it doesn't mean that the owner's mother also loves the little girl.

The old lady was on crutches. Although she didn't wear any valuable jewelry on her body, the aura around her made the concubines shut up for a while, although Li Sisi could talk nonsense to her father What to say, but Li Sisi doesn't like her grandma.

"How can a girl in a boudoir say such shameful words, Li Wenlanjing, this is how you usually teach this child?"

Lan Jing is Li Wen's second wife. Although there is nothing good to say about the people around the second wife, they are all seductive masters and seductive things, but for Lan Jing, no one treats her like this. evaluation of.

Because she is Li Wen's wife, that is, she was married after Li Sisi's mother died. She was not originally a concubine in this place, and was hand-picked by the old lady, so even if someone used to criticize her After her character, there is nothing left.

Logically speaking, Li Sisi should hate Lan Jing, but on the contrary, the relationship between Li Sisi and Lan Jing is very good. Only two of them know why, but outsiders guess that Lan Jing is really good to Li Sisi, so the two In order to get along well.

The old lady chose this woman because of this. Apart from Li Sisi's education, she was also very satisfied with everything else. For so many years, there was nothing that the old lady could not say.

Although Li Wen loves Li Sisi's mother, he knows Lan Jing's dedication to this family, so the two of them have always treated each other with respect, and of course they really did. It is because of this that it encourages the evil thoughts of these concubines.

"Mother, calm down and have a sip of tea. The child is still young and speaks freely. I'll talk about her later."

Lan Jing saw the old lady coming with a cane, and knew that Li Sisi, who had made a fuss, would disappear for several days, which would only speed up the conflict.

Seeing that the old lady came here because of this incident, these concubines couldn't sit still. Although she is a young lady, she is the treasure in the palm of the old man. If she is around for a day, they will share the old man's property. But you have to get something for your children.

"Old lady, you said that you have heard about it, it is really outrageous."

Originally, Lan Jing wanted to calm down the old lady's arrogance, but when the woman opened her mouth, the old lady frowned again.

"You are really presumptuous. I am talking to the old lady. Is there a place for you to talk? Do you still understand the dignity? Go down and copy the family motto a hundred times and hand it to the master's room."

Every time she sees Lan Jing on weekdays, she always has a gentle face, but when she really touches these things, she doesn't give the slightest bit of face. The interests and the interests of the lady have never let go.

That's how it was, outsiders speculated that the harmonious relationship between the two was because Lan Jing was really doing it for the good of the young lady.

But even if he said such vicious words just now, it was in a gentle tone, but listening to it made people feel shuddering.

"Children should remember to teach them well. The Li family is rich and powerful. When the ladies go out, they must represent the current face of the Li family. Don't want to get acquainted with everyone."

The old lady liked Lan Jing the most, so her tone softened, and she left the main house without even sitting down for a while.

Watching the old lady leave, Lan Jing gave Li Sisi a look, and she ran out, but Li Wen had nothing, because he also felt that Lan Jing was really kind to Li Sisi.

Those who really want to read Li Sisi in front of the old lady are really stupid people.

Sometimes Li Wen also wonders whether Lan Jing is really good to Sisi, or because she knows the weight and status of Li Sisi in his heart.

"My lord, there are guests here."

A house meeting that was not organized at first ended in this way, although there was no change in the house before it opened.

Li Sisi walked through the streets and alleys that she always walks on weekdays, but she didn't see that familiar figure.

"You are a kind girl, and you will be rewarded."

Recalling the chance encounter with Tang Xiu, Li Sisi suddenly wanted to thank the heavy snow, the heavy snow that happened dozens of days ago.

The classmates who went home together accidentally kicked over Tang Xiu's broken begging bowl, not only did not help the bowl up, they even laughed at him for being a beggar.

Only Li Sisi helped him pick up the bowl, and gave him some money to buy cotton clothes for the winter, but when the two of them met in the future, he was still in the same old clothes, Li Sisi's clothes were all custom-made, So she didn't know how much these things cost.

Although my father is conservative and old-fashioned, there is a saying that is right, to help others is to help others what they really need, so when Li Sisi was about to spend the money to make up for her previous mistakes, the two had a conversation for the first time. sentence.

The young man's voice was pleasant, and although there was dust all over his face and body, it didn't affect his good-looking eyes when he smiled.

Li Sisi had never met such a talkative and talkative person. Although her life was rich, Tang Xiu was actually richer.

He must have felt very humiliated when he was thrown out, so did he hate himself or feel that he had betrayed him because he didn't come forward to stop it?

She really wanted to explain, but felt that there was no way to explain it. No matter what the reason was, she just didn't come forward to stop him, which made him lose the most important dignity.

Walking in the streets and alleys, many people whispered quietly that this is the eldest lady in the mansion.

In the days that followed, although she went to and from school normally, she never saw Tang Xiu again, and never saw Tang Xiu anywhere. He seemed to have evaporated from the world.It was as if he had really left Beicheng.

Beicheng is still so stable now. Dad said that there are scuffles outside. If he really goes out of the city and meets those people, will he die?

The more she thinks like this, the more unstable Li Sisi becomes. As a teenager, she doesn't have any thoughts, she just thinks that the person in front of her will not have an accident.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very dignified, because the concubine had no chance to eat with Li Wen, so although there were three people at the dinner table, Lan Jing and Li Sisi would always have conversations, and Li Wen also listened to her daughter's affairs from it. , never interrupt.
