Song Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion

"On a spring tour, apricot blossoms blow all over the head. Who is young and romantic? The concubine intends to marry and rest for the rest of her life. Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed. ”

In a boudoir in the Li family's mansion in Li Kee Gold and Silver Shop, the song "Thinking of Emperor Township, Spring Tour" expresses the anxiety but secretly joy and hope of her daughter when she gets married.

"Wanting, has she changed her mind?" Li Wanting's mother, Xu, who was about to enter Li Wanting's boudoir, heard the singing, and happily asked Li Wanting's brother Li Bangyan, who came with her.

"Little sister... She... She should be, right? Li Bangyan replied hesitantly.

Xu didn't understand "Sidi Township, Spring Tour", but he heard the shyness of his daughter in the song, but Li Bangyan was good at this song.

Li Bangyan not only heard the shyness of his daughter in the song, but also heard the enthusiasm and pursuit of his sister Li Wanting.

And what is Li Wanting pursuing? Li Bangyan knows better than anyone that Li Wanting's heart has long been firmly tied to Li Sanjian, who is in the capital of Beijing.

So what Li Wanting is pursuing, it is self-evident, but at present, it seems that this matter is absolutely unworkable, and there is no longer any possibility, Li Bangyan thought distressedly.

When Xu heard this, he glanced at Li Bangyan suspiciously, and walked into Li Wanting's boudoir.

After Xu entered Li Wanting's boudoir, he saw Li Wanting wearing a vermilion tulle skirt and grooming in the mirror.

Seeing this, Xu Shi was even happier in his heart, and said happily to Li Wanting: "Daughter, there are still some days, I can't wait?" ”

Li Sanjian left Kaifeng Mansion in Song Tokyo in February of the first year of the Yasukuni Dynasty and went to Quanzhou to take up his post, not long after, before March, the Xu family asked someone to tell Li Wanting a family, Zhu Mian, the son of Zhu Chong, a big man in Suzhou, Zhu Mian is about 26 years old, the older Li Wanting is ** years old, the age is relatively comparable, and Zhu Mian's appearance is also relatively upright.

The Xu family is still quite satisfied with this family business.

The most important thing is that Zhu Chong's father and son are not simple.

Zhu Chong was originally a helper of a large family, from a humble background, and later started with a medicinal material business, and then made a fortune, and later piled mountains to build gardens, that is, to build gardens and residences for others, and became a well-known big man in Suzhou, known as "Zhu Huayuanzi".

The Zhu father and son have a lot of money, and they are a good match with the Li family.

And such a wealthy businessman has always had an inextricable relationship with the court, so Zhu Chong got an official and a half-post for his father and son in the court. The Zhu father and son are also called "Zhu Daguanren" and "Zhu Xiaoguanren".

The wedding of the Song Dynasty needs to go through six ceremonies: "Nacai", "Asking for Name", "Naji", "Nazheng", "Invitation" and "Greeting".

Zhu Mian can speak well, and the appearance is acceptable, so in the "Six Rites" Zhu Mian won the love of Li Wanting's mother Xu, and the marriage went relatively smoothly, a few months later, a zodiac auspicious day, that is, June 15, was selected by both parties as the day of Zhu Mian and Li Wanting's official marriage, and it was only ten days before Zhu Mian and Li Wanting got married.

"Mother, you... There you are...? Li Wanting was humming a little song, and was taken aback when she heard this, turned her head to look at Xu Shi and said.

"What are you afraid of?" Xu was a little suspicious when he saw Li Wanting's expression, and said to Li Wanting: "Daughter, you will officially marry into the Zhu family in ten days, and you will go to Suzhou, you... What do you think? ”

"Mother, my daughter doesn't have any ideas, my daughter is all arranged by her father and mother." Li Wanting stopped grooming, turned around and replied with a low brow.

"That's good." Hearing this, Xu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Whose child is not the heart of his father?" Whose parents don't want their daughters to have a good home? Your father and mother are the same, and they also hope that you will get a good home. This is the case in a woman's family, marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, and the husband is prosperous and the woman is honored. The Zhu family is a big family in Suzhou, with a lot of wealth and wealth, and you can marry Zhumen as your wife, and the future will be worry-free, rich and rich, and it is also a good home, and your father and mother will be able to rest assured. ”

Li Wanting's parents are satisfied, which does not mean that Li Wanting is satisfied, during which Li Wanting resolutely disagreed with this marriage, and would rather die than obey, which made Xu extremely annoyed. However, no matter how Li Wanting resisted, she could not escape the fate of "the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker", so the relationship between the two families was set for June 15.

Today, the Xu family came to Li Wanting's boudoir to prepare to persecute Li Wanting again, but today Li Wanting suddenly changed her mind, which made Xu's heart suddenly feel relieved.

"Daddy, my mother is thinking about her daughter, how can my daughter not understand?" Li Wanting said in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, come, kid, I'll tell you." Xu Shi was more and more satisfied in his heart, more and more relieved, and pulled Li Wanting and continued: "Wanting, your thoughts, how can you not know for your mother?" In fact... In fact, according to my conscience, that person is really a very good young man, he is a member of the six grades of the court at a young age, which is something that I have never done in the court, but it's a pity... It's a pity that this person has already got married, and how can you marry him as a concubine? Wanting, you're still young, and you don't know what a concubine is, that's just... It's simply ... ”

When Xu said this, a trace of remorse suddenly appeared in his heart, was it right or wrong for him to force Wanting to marry into Zhumen?

How did Zhu Mian and Li Sanjian at this time? Li Sanjian is a dignified Song Dynasty Xinke champion Lang, a member of the six grades of the imperial court. And Zhu Mian is just an official position bought with money, which can be said to be a white Ding, and the difference is thousands of miles.

No matter how far apart from it, Zhu Mian and Li Sanjian are far apart. Little Snail Chinese Network

The only pity is that Li Sanjian can't marry Li Wanting as his wife, the two have the same surname, and it is impossible to become husband and wife.

"Mother... Woman... Child... The daughter is not trying to get his official position, but... I like him as a person. At this moment, Li Wanting finally couldn't bear it anymore, and her tears couldn't stop flowing, crying.

"Alright, you shut up for me!" Hearing this, Xu Shi said angrily: "In another ten days, you will become the wife of the Zhumen, and it is a loss for a woman to think about others in your heart." ”

"Mother..." Li Wanting burst into tears, looked at Xu and said.

mentioned him, it wasn't you who mentioned it first, Li Wanting secretly said in her heart, why are you allowed to say it, but not me?

"Okay, don't talk about it, within ten days, you can't go out, let me stay at home honestly, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere." Xu then said to Li Bangyan: "You give me a good persuasion of your sister." ”

After Xu said that, he turned around and left, busy with Li Wanting's marriage.

"Little sister... You... You and Him will never work ... Or resign yourself to your fate, right? Li Bangyan saw Li Wanting's sad appearance, so he couldn't bear to persuade.

"Big brother, you help me, only you can help me at this time." Li Wanting then sobbed.

"Girl, what do you want to do?" Li Bangyan asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Big brother, Wanting has never begged you for anything in her life, but this time I beg you... Please help me ... Li Wanting's voice was very small, but her attitude was extremely firm.

。。。。。。。。。。

One night two days later, a side door behind Li's house quietly opened, and then two thin figures sneaked out of the side door, and then a taller figure also walked out of the side door.

"Little sister, the city gate will open in half an hour, you... It's the right time for you to pass now. Li Bangyan said to Li Wanting.

Li Tang's curfew time is generally imposed after the first watch, the first watch beats the twilight drum, prohibits travel, and only opens the ban after the morning bell rings at three o'clock on the fifth watch. If someone disobeys, they will be punished with whipping and other punishments.

Since the Song Dynasty, the curfew has been changed to the beginning of the third watch, the end of the fifth watch, the curfew time has been shortened a lot, and the curfew is only closed at the time of the third watch, and the city gate is opened on the fifth watch, but the city can pass freely.

The Song Dynasty shortened the curfew time in order to promote commercial prosperity, so Kaifeng Mansion was unusually noisy and lively at night, and some restaurants and shops were doing business all night.

One street diverges, and then the two cities are overturned, shouting day and night, and the lights are endless.

Of course, in case of emergency, Song will extend the curfew.

Li Bangyan then stuffed a package into Li Wanting's arms and said, "Little sister, this is some money and customs clearance documents, brother, I can only help you so much." ”

Money is easy, Li Bangyan's family is rich, just pick up a little bit there, but Li Wanting has been to thousands of mountains and rivers, so it is extremely difficult to obtain customs clearance documents, but Li Bangyan has his own way, that is, Li Bangyan found Liu Anjie and Zeng Gongming, the government of Kaifeng Prefecture.

When Liu Anjie and Zeng Gongming learned about it, they immediately issued customs clearance documents to Li Bangyan.

"Big brother... Younger sister... Little sister, thank you... Li Wanting took the package and was so grateful that tears flowed down her eyes again.

"Little sister doesn't have to be like this." Li Bangyan stretched out a delicate silk scarf, wiped Li Wanting's tears, and said worriedly: "Little sister, there are thousands of mountains and rivers here, and you have to be careful along the way." Where do you plan to stay when you arrive? Or do you go straight to him? ”

"Brother rest assured, Wanting has her own countermeasures, and after arriving, Wanting plans to go to the uncle first... As for... I... Hum... An ungrateful man like him ... I'm not going to look for him. Li Wanting replied.

If you don't go to him, what will you do with him? Li Bangyan thought it was secretly funny.

Li Wanting has not been a beautiful lady since she was a child, but she has followed her father and brother to a lot of places.

But even so, Li Wanting is a woman after all, and she goes almost alone, so it will still be worrying.

"Let's go, my father and mother will find out that you can't leave." Li Bangyan then waved his hand to Li Wanting and said.

"Big brother, take care!" Li Wanting then dressed and saluted.
