I don't know which dynasty it started, there has been such a folk song on the ground of Yanshan, one by one, "Li who stayed in the town, You Liang's rice, Gao Xiao's big pear, and Yixian's aunt". The first three lines of the folk song boast of the three famous local specialties of Yanshan. Among them, in addition to the rice from Liangchuan that could not continue to be produced due to various reasons, Tang Li and Gao Xiao's white pears from the Tang Dynasty to the present are still the tributes of Yanshanwei to the imperial city.

But if anyone asks the Yanshan people which of these four things is what the Yanshan people are proud of, then most people will answer without hesitation that it is the mother-in-law of Yi County. Since ancient times, there have been beauties in Yixian County, and there have been two queens in history. Not only that, the women of Yixian County also have become the best daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law that many families want to marry back with their courtesy, diligence and thoughtfulness to their relatives. Here, we can't fail to mention the folk tales about the two emperors in the late Tang Dynasty who were all from Yixian County, and they also played a great role in fueling the fire. So far, there are still many legends about these two mothers in Yanshan, these are actually small stories from the ordinary life of ordinary people, which are not only widely recited by people, but also made into local operas, which are passed down from generation to generation by artists......

Liu Yue'er is a native of Yi County, and her hometown Huojiabao happens to be by the Yiyi River where the two queens were born and raised in the legend.

The year Shang Cheng came to this world, she was only thirteen years old. Four years have passed unconsciously, and she has changed from a yellow-haired little girl to a slender girl. The yellow and fluffy hair that was distressing because of the lack of nutrition has now become a long black hair, even if it is combed into a girl's bun, it cannot hide its beauty. Her round face shimmered with a healthy glow, and there were two lovely patches of crimson on her face; Every time she laughs, a pair of big talking eyes under her long eyelashes immediately bend into two crescents, so that her happiness and joy can infect everyone around her......

But the beauty itself didn't bring her much joy. On the contrary, she has recently added a lot of new troubles to it.

Her sorrow comes from her age. She is 16 years old this year......

It's definitely a good age for girls to get married. Even if she had never thought much about her life's work, she couldn't be an exception to this kind of thing. If it weren't for the high threshold of the commercial house, the door control of the private residence of the fake governor of Yanshan was strict, maybe the person who came to the door to talk about the matchmaker would be able to step on the threshold.

Now, she sat on the kang with a frost on her face, and she was holding a small pair of scissors vigorously with a large ball of red silk thread. On the kang table, the kang mat is full of long and short silk threads.

Aunt Seventeen just left. Recently, many people have quietly asked someone to find Aunt Seventeen to talk to him, to see if he can climb to the general's cousin and marry Shang Cheng. She came over today to tell Yue'er a good family matter: the matchmaker made by the two wives of the Lu Ji family, and the man was Tang Tang, the county magistrate of Zhu County.

In every way, this is a good family that is hard to find with a lantern. Let's not say that the two people are the same age, just talk about Tang Tang's Jinshi background, which makes Aunt Seventeen feel that this is Yue'er who has climbed high. What's more, Tang Tang is deeply respected by the imperial court, and he did the county order of the county at a young age, although this time the matter of doing the Duanzhou general judgment was rejected by the Health Department and did not get promoted, but the future of the career is basically obvious, and there may be a day when the general will enter the phase. If this kind of person doesn't agree to it, then she will definitely suffer in the end!

But Aunt Seventeen said all the good things, and Yue'er just didn't nod. In the past, she almost refused this kind of thing, but this time it was the Lu family who proposed marriage, and she couldn't talk about it to death, so she didn't mention the quality of this family affair, but just told Aunt Seventeen: "I haven't thought about this for the time being." ”

Aunt Seventeen had no choice but to persuade her over and over again: "That guy is really good!" The family background is good, and the person is also good-looking, and at first glance he is a scholar, and he knows how to read and be courteous......"

Yue'er buried herself in needlework, and didn't say anything to Aunt Seventeen. The day after the Winter Solstice Festival, the two ladies of the Lu family inexplicably invited her to a family banquet, and she only now understands the reason. That's when she met Tang Tang. A person who is white and pure and weak in writing and writing can't see anything else except for being able to make poems and small orders; The words were even more gentle, which made her uncomfortable. She couldn't imagine that she would marry such a person, the two of them couldn't even talk to each other, how could they live in the future?

But no matter how reluctant she is, she can't hurt the face of the Lu family, let alone the face of Aunt Seventeen. Fortunately, she still has a shield. She said to Aunt Seventeen, "You go and ask my brother what he means first." He said yes, and I will marry ......."

Aunt Seventeen suddenly had nothing to say. That's a! There is also a family in the front, and Yue'er also asked her to ask the monk what he meant, but what did the monk say? He said, "Yue'er thinks it's good, I don't have an opinion." Yue'er let him make up his mind, and he let Yue'er make his own decisions, the two brothers and sisters, you are humble and I will let you, and in the end, no one spoke, and Shengsheng messed up a good family affair......

The boring Aunt Seventeen is gone, and Yue'er is still sitting here sulking.

Really, she herself is not in a hurry to get married, what do others care? Even if the man is married and the woman is married, then she has to choose a good husband for herself. In her opinion, it doesn't matter whether the man she is looking for has read or not, it doesn't matter if he is literate or not, the key is that he must be a real man like the monk!

Find a man like the monk, that's the root of all her troubles. What's even worse is that the person she likes is no one else, but the monk himself......

I can't say when it started, maybe it was the time when she felt that she was old enough to get married and seriously considered it, and the shadow of the monk's eldest brother kept shaking in front of her. This is normal, really speaking, the man she has come into contact with the most after she became sensible, in addition to her deceased father, is the monk brother. Although Shang Cheng was only in the Liu family for half a year, and he set up a separate door before he got married, the relationship between the two families has always been very good, and it is so close that it is like a family. And after the eldest brother monk got married, he cared for Sister Lian'er and saw it with her own eyes. At that time, she was looking forward to finding such a good husband in the future. Not to mention the grief and sadness of the monk after Sister Lian'er's suffering. On two occasions, she saw the monk sitting alone in the pavilion in the backyard crying, and the heart-rending cry made her feel like someone was cutting her heart with a knife, and she would be immersed in endless sadness for several days in a row...... After the grief, she sometimes thinks that if one day her man misses her like him, then it will not be in vain for her to come to this world, even if it is worth the amount of suffering and the tiredness.

Thinking of the eldest brother monk, she couldn't restrain herself from thinking of Sister Lian'er. The thought of those rumors, the terrible things she had heard, her heart clenched together. Because of fear, and because of her hatred for the dog, her hand holding the scissors could not help but tremble. The hearts of those sudden-exhausted dogs are too broken! How can they, how can they......

The most pitiful thing is the monk brother. People were afraid that he would be bewitched by nightmares when they heard about it, so no one dared to tell him until now. No one even dared to mention Sister Lian'er in front of him. No one dared to do that. Big Brother Shi didn't dare, Big Brother Baokan didn't dare, and Big Brother Fan Quan and Big Brother Ji Zheng didn't dare. Everyone knew it, but no one dared to talk to him. She didn't dare to ......

Sister Lian'er left, leaving her eldest brother alone in this world. Whenever she saw her eldest brother suffering painfully in her thoughts, her heart was full of sadness. It was from that time that she silently took on the responsibility of taking care of her eldest brother.

Now, everything is understood. She also figured it out. Yes, if she were to get married, she would only marry the monk brother! She didn't have the guts to tell him the truth, but she had the courage to heal the wounds in his heart!

But no one could understand what was going on in her mind.

No! It's not that no one can understand it, and many people understand what is going on in her mind. Even if they didn't know before, now, after so many relatives she didn't agree to, no matter how unknown people should know what she was thinking. But what's the use of them knowing? Her eldest monk didn't know what was on her mind! What's even more sad is that she can't even find anyone around her who can help. This matter can only be said by the elders, but needless to say, the two aunts of the Lu family also have unspeakable thoughts, and it is not easy for any of them to see the monk brother; Even if I did, I didn't have a chance to talk about it......

She wiped tears from her tears sadly.

Her four personal maids also gathered around the kang table. They spend time with her, and they all know what is going on in her heart. But no matter how much they were upset for their young lady, they couldn't think of a better way, so they had to say comforting words that were not relied on on all sides, and at the same time pointed the finger at Aunt Seventeen. In their hearts, this matter is all the fault of Aunt Seventeen, it is because she is bent on promising her two daughters to the general, so she is in a hurry to push the young lady out of the door!

The more the maids talked, the more they didn't know the edge, and the more they told the story, the more outrageous it became, and finally Yue'er was so angry that she overturned all the needles and threads on the kang table, and shouted loudly to teach them not to speak:

"Shut up, y'all!"

The maids immediately stopped talking, and looked in horror at the young lady who walked about the house, for fear that she would punish them. Although the young lady has always been very kind to her subordinates, but under the anger in front of her, it is not impossible for people to drag them out to whip them.

Just when they were frightened, they just found a reason to avoid it, so that Aunt Seventeen and Yue'er would have a chance to talk privately Miss Pan'er back.

Pan'er didn't come back alone, Sun Zhongshan's wife Yang Dou'er entered the house with her.

Hot towels, hot tea, hand stoves, felts...... A few maids are busy.

Letting Yang Dou'er onto the hot kang, Yue'er asked, "When did you come?" ”

"It's only a mile." Yang Douer said with a smile. In fact, she had already arrived, and she was talking to Pan'er in the courtyard next to her. She pretended not to see the tears on Yue'er's face, and she didn't look at the silk threads that had not been cleaned up in the ground, and said, "I haven't come for a long time, I'm afraid you will forget me." ”

Yue'er said: "It's true that you forgot about us. Your family bought such a big Zhuangzi outside the city, and bought more than a dozen pieces of land, one by one, what's the matter, at this time, if you are not at home, it will be counted as a deficit this year? ”

One sentence made everyone laugh.
