Spring and Autumn GL

This year Shi Yiguang was 17 years old and Zheng Dan was 17 years old. The [-]-year-old Yiguang is already charming and charming. People in the village have almost never seen such a beautiful woman.Yiguang has been likable since she was a child. Seeing how beautiful she is, the villagers gathered around her non-stop. Because her family lives in the west of the village and is the daughter of the Shi family, she was nicknamed by the villagers. It's called Shih Tzu.Of course, at that time, no one thought that this name would be passed down through the ages.

Among the women in the village, Zheng Dan is the only one who can rival Xi Shi in appearance.Xi Shi is charming, Zheng Dan is generous, Xi Shi is a good girl, Zheng Dan is good at shooting, and the two are good sisters. Whenever people mention Xi Shi, they always talk about Zheng Dan.But Zheng Dan is not from the village after all, and people don't pay much attention to her, so although she looks beautiful, no one mentions it—probably because she thinks that women from outside are not as good as people from this village, or they don't want to recognize people from other villages It is more beautiful than the village.

The strange thing is that both of them have reached the age of marriage, but no one has ever come to propose marriage.Fortunately, Zheng Dan said that he was not popular at first, and it is normal for the family to be cold, but Xi Shi is very popular and beautiful, so it is a bit strange that no one proposes marriage.She herself was not in a hurry, she happened to be at leisure, but Xi Shi's mother, Mrs. Li, was in a hurry.She didn't know that in fact, none of the marriageable men in the village wanted to marry Xi Shi, but they had no courage and were afraid of competing with each other for brotherhood, so they all hesitated and never dared to come to the door.

Xishi was chatting with Zheng Dan at the four-eye well in the middle of the village that day, when suddenly a sister from the neighbor came running and said with a smile:

"Sister Xi Shi, three uncles on tall horses came from the south, and they said that the King of Yue sent them here to choose the beauty, and everyone in the village went to see them. My mother said, you two are the most beautiful in our village, so I should hurry up and send my sister Let's find it."

When Xi Shi and Zheng Dan heard the words, they were curious, so they put down their work and hurriedly followed the girl to the entrance of the southern village.I saw three men standing in the middle of the crowd, the leader had a rough face, but he still couldn't hide his handsome and resolute face.Judging by his elegant manners and his calm expression when talking and laughing, he is really one of the best men in the world.

"Yi Guang, look at that man, why is he so beautiful? Even when I was young in the capital, I have never seen such a handsome man!"

Xi Shi slightly turned her face to look at Zheng Dan, only to see her reddish complexion, peach blossoms in her eyes, it was love at first sight.She curled her lips and said:

"No family, from what you said, you are actually going to commit yourself to this person? As the saying goes, you know people, you know their faces, but you don't know their hearts... Hey! Did you listen to me?"

Zheng Dan came back to his senses: "Ah? What did you say?"

Xi Shi said helplessly: "I said you should get to know him better, and then see if you want to marry him..."

Zheng Dan said angrily: "Who wants to marry him, nonsense... He, he... may not be interested in me."

Xi Shi scolded lightly, pulled Zheng Dan up and walked into the crowd.

A middle-aged woman turned her face by chance, saw Xishi Zheng Dan coming, and said in a loud voice:

"Hey, my lord, the beauties you want are here. These two are the most beautiful in our village! No one can compare."

The man in the middle was Fan Li, he turned his head to the side when he heard the words, frowned slightly when he saw it, then relaxed his brows, and smiled inadvertently.

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan walked up to Fan Li and made a small salute. The more Fan Li looked at them, the more he felt that the two girls were good-looking, especially Xi Shi, who had to have good looks and temperament, which met all the requirements of the King of Yue, but he didn't know How she talks.So asked:

"Your name is Shih Tzu?"

"Little girl Shi Yiguang, Xi Shi is a name given by the villagers, not her real name."

Fan Li nodded, turned to Zheng Dan and said:

"It seems that this girl is Zheng Dan. You two really have a good figure and good looks, but you don't know how old they are?"

Zheng Dan said: "The little girl is 19 years old this year, and Yi Guang is 17 years old."

Xishi got goosebumps when she heard this, when did Zheng Wujia learn to call her "little girl"?She wanted to win over Fan Li and Zheng Dan, so she didn't add any details, and just let Zheng Dan have a lot of people.

Although Fan Li listened to Zheng Dan's words, he was thinking of Xi Shi in his heart. He felt that although Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were both beautiful in appearance, they had very different styles. Presumably this Xi Shi looked docile and should be more pleasing, while Zheng Dan was like this. They like to talk, and it's not good if they accidentally say something about them.From a personal point of view, he prefers Xi Shi, but he is not a roundworm in the stomach of King Wu, and he can't figure out what kind of woman Fu Chai likes, so he decided to bring both of them to the palace for training. Besides.

So Fan Li asked the family members of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan to come out and talk about it, saying that he would bring them into the palace to meet the king tomorrow.This cola spoiled Xi Shi's mother - she thought that although no one came to ask for her daughter, she would soon become a princess.Mrs. Li has always regarded Zheng Dan as her own, and this time it seemed like double happiness, which made her happy.But Zheng's face was melancholy, and he gestured to Zheng Dan. Zheng Dan looked at it and said:

"My mother said, can you give me a few more days, she has something important to tell me."

Fan Li nodded: "Yes, then I will wait for you in the village for three days. After the three days, I will leave immediately without further delay."

Zheng Dan thanked Fan Li, then took his mother and walked back, his complexion was gloomy all the way, Zheng couldn't speak, and when he got home, he immediately asked: "Is there something on your mind?"

"Mother, I'm going to leave you here alone. I don't feel relieved. Can I, Dr. Yang Fan, take you with me tomorrow?"

Zheng Shi gestured: I knew you were worried about me.Don't worry, I can take care of myself.But you have other things on your mind.

Zheng Dan sighed: "Although mother can't speak, she really understands in her heart that nothing can be hidden from mother. Doctor Fan said that he would lead me into the palace. I wondered if he wanted to dedicate me to the king of Yue to fill the harem... ...I don't want to go, marrying a villager in the village is better than marrying the king of Yue and suffering the crimes of the Sangong Sixth Court."

Mrs. Zheng shook her head: I think so too, I think you should not go, just stay here and live a peaceful life.

Zheng Dan pursed his lips and did not speak.In fact, she didn't mention to her mother that she was thinking of Fan Li in her heart, so she didn't want to enter the palace.With her temperament, even if ten or eight people held knives around her neck, she didn't want to go, and she would rather die than go, but somehow, as long as Fan Li opened her mouth, there seemed to be no reason not to go.She can defy anyone, except Niangqin and Yi Guang—and now there is another Fan Li for nothing.

Do you have to go?Zheng suddenly gestured.

Zheng Dan said: "This matter is out of my control. Since Doctor Fan represents the meaning of the King of Yue, if I don't go, if the King of Yue blames me, won't I hurt my mother?"

Zheng was silent and said nothing.

"Besides, she may not be marrying the King of Yue. Most likely she is a draft girl. Whether I will be selected is not certain. Besides, if the King invites a relative, why don't Doctor Fan say it openly? There may be other things that I don't know."

Mrs. Zheng nodded: Go as you please, and come back to see me often.I miss you.

Zheng Dan burst into tears: "Mother, don't say that, I will be reluctant to leave."

I know that you beat Xiaoye and you are unruly, all to protect me, but I am afraid that you will suffer in the palace with your temper, I am very worried.

Zheng Dan sighed: "Mother, I understand, I will try my best to restrain myself from now on, so that I won't make trouble and make you worry. But are you really not going back to Kuaiji with me?"

Mrs. Zheng raised her hand and thought for a while: the capital city is full of fish and dragons, so I can't live in the palace with you. I'm a single woman, so I might as well be comfortable here.

Zheng Dan thought about it, so he stopped talking, thinking that he would not have much time to spend with his mother, so he hugged Zheng Shi and started talking softly to her.

When Xi Shi returned home, Li Shi smiled happily for a long time, and brought out the sumptuous Chinese New Year dishes from the kitchen, saying:

"Yiguang, your father died early, I... just a girl like you, you know what I have to say. But there are some things I haven't told you. I'll write a letter later and you take it to the palace Go, find a chance to have a look with Zheng Dan...you two, I can rest assured that you two will be each other's company."

Xishi raised her eyebrows: "What does mother have to say that I can't tell my daughter, but talk to Wujia?"

Mrs. Li faltered and said: "Some things... have something to do with her, but I'm not sure... After all, there are so many wonders in the world, maybe it's just a coincidence—well, let's not talk about these insignificant things. You just want to Entering the palace, my mother has to dress up for you these few days."

Xi Shi chuckled: "I just met the king, but I didn't say that I would really marry him."

Mrs. Li hurriedly covered Xi Shi's mouth: "My child, you really don't know the importance. If the king takes a fancy to you, we will decide whether to marry or not. Besides, what's wrong with marrying the king?" Okay? Which woman in the world doesn’t want to fly on a branch and become a phoenix?”

Xi Shi said: "I don't want to. In fact, it's good to stay with my mother for the rest of my life. Everyone says that there are intrigues in the palace, what's the fun!"

Mrs. Li shook her head: "Hey, one must learn to accept one's fate, especially we women, don't we still want to make a career in this man's world? You live in peace and prosperity, and you are already better than other women. Too much."

"Mother is not speaking from the heart. If you really think so, why do you like Wujiajie? Wujiajie is the most reckless person."

Li Shi choked, and said for a while: "I like Zheng Dan, that's... for other reasons."

Seeing her mother's uneasy expression, Xi Shi stopped asking any more questions and started to eat with her head down.The mother and daughter had their own concerns, and the feast was tasteless, but it was finally a farewell meal, and Xi Shi bit the bullet and ate most of the meal.

Early the next morning, Zheng Dan couldn't help but came to a farmhouse where Fan Li was staying, and knocked on the door.The master opened the door and said that Dr. Fan hadn't gotten up yet. Zheng Dan showed regret, and handed the hare in his hand to the farmer, saying:

"I just went up the mountain to fight this early in the morning. Doctor Fan is exhausted from the journey, so you give him a good meal to replenish his body..."

Just as he was talking, Fan Li came out of the bedroom lightly, and when he saw Zheng Dan, he smiled and said:

"It turned out to be Miss Zheng Dan. I don't know why she came to look for Fan Li so early?"

Zheng Dan's face turned red in an instant, and he lost his sharp tongue: "Fan... Doctor Fan, I saw that you were exhausted from the journey, so I wanted to send you some wild game to nourish your body... I don't want to disturb you, I really deserve to be damned."

Fan Li said: "It's okay, the sun is rising, it's time to start, thank you for your concern."

Seeing that the two were talking, the farmer had nothing to do with him, so he went in with a hare and asked his wife to help with it.When Zheng Dan saw that the farmer had left, and she and Fan Li were the only ones to get along at this moment, Zheng Dan immediately became frightened.But she was straightforward and said what was on her mind, so she asked:

"Doctor Fan...do you have a wife in your family?"

Fan Li frowned: "It didn't happen, but why did you inquire about it?"

Zheng Dan hurriedly said, "No...no...I'm asking for Yi Guang, for Yi Guang."

When Fan Li heard it, he was overjoyed, but then suppressed the joy, and said seriously:

"You two girls are in a remote place, so it's understandable for you to be ignorant, but in the future, don't inquire about other people's private affairs casually, especially the princes and royal families, high-ranking officials and nobles. If you get into trouble, I can't protect you."

Zheng Dan hurriedly apologized, couldn't stay any longer, and left the room as if fleeing, and walked a few hundred steps, his heart still beating wildly.Fan Li doesn't have a family, but it really suits her heart. In this way, there may be a chance... But so what if he doesn't have a family, even if he really likes him, he probably wants to marry the King of Yue. Grab a woman with the King of Yue?

But what if he really had the guts?If he would elope with her—

"Sister Wujia!" A call interrupted Zheng Dan's wild thoughts, Zheng Dan turned his head and saw that it was indeed Xi Shi.

"Yi Guang, what a coincidence!" When Zheng Dan saw Xi Shi, he suddenly thought that he had just used Xi Shi as a shield, and felt a little embarrassed, scratching his head and saying:

"Yi Guang, I just went to see Fan Li. For some reason, I was obsessed with ghosts. I wanted to ask him if he had a wife, but I was embarrassed, so I told him that you asked..."

Xi Shi smiled: "It's okay, you have helped me so much, and I am very happy that I can help you a little."

Zheng Dan breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you would be angry, but since you are not angry, then go to my house and have a look. I just got a roe deer, and my mother is making it. You should also try it."

Xi Shi readily agreed, pulled out a dagger from behind, and pinned it to Zheng Dan's waist.

"My mother asked me to give it to you, and I have one too. She said that each person should have one for self-defense. I know you don't need it, but this is what mother wanted, so don't refuse."

Zheng Dan nodded and accepted, and thoughtfully took Xi Shi home.

The author has something to say: In fact, some people have verified that Xi Shi and Zheng Dan in history were actually the same person.However, it is also said that Zheng Dan is actually much better-looking than Xi Shi.
