Chapter II. 333
Speaking of the queen mother Li Lian, the 'wonderful' degree of her life, compared to her own brother Li Deng, she is not far behind. Today, she is a forty-six-year-old middle-aged woman.
Since he gave birth to Yan Day, he has devoted all his efforts and energy to his son; Even. She didn't care about the favor that Emperor Yan Hunt gave her. Of course, she can still be so indifferent in the turbulent harem, in addition to her excellent mind and skills, there is also a part of the relationship between the Dongyou Li family.
It is precisely because she is backed by the big tree of the Dongyou Li family, since the moment she beat Li Lian into the palace, from the court officials to the small people in the market, no one would think that the queen candidate of Youbei Third Road would eventually fall to another family.
And Li Lian entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and first served as a female official in the Dongnuan Pavilion for two years; After that, he was accepted as a concubine by Yan Hunt. After she gave birth to Yan Day, she was officially canonized as the queen of Youbei Third Road.
At that time, the overall social atmosphere of Youbei Third Road was still very feudal. It may be due to the psychology of 'cultural inferiority', and the Xianxue officially recognized by Youbei at that time was from the 'orthodox Confucian school'. At that time, women lived in such an environment, not to mention that they 'showed their heads' like Li Le'an today, and even when they opened the door of the mansion and looked out, they would be accused by those 'defenders' who could not get along in their own country as unscrupulous daughters who corrupted the people's customs.
Li Lian, who grew up in such a distorted social environment, is literate, traveling, and making friends like Li Deng; Even if you want to meet a few strangers, you don't have any chance at all. Don't look at the Dongyou Li family at that time, they were already a famous family with power in the world; But fundamentally speaking, after all, he is also from a 'humble and lowly' merchant family, so he will naturally be regarded as an outlier by the civil and military officials in Youbei. In such an embarrassing situation, in order to avoid being truthful, Old Man Li naturally restrained a pair of children very strictly.
However, although the three roads of Youbei advocate the theory of righteousness and science, after all, it is only a 'novice on the road', and all the 'rules and etiquette' are copied from the Northern Yan Dynasty. But in this way, those 'upper-class people' who can already 'maintain their own identities' will not be able to do it easily for a while......
Therefore, when Li Lian was thirteen years old, such a small thing happened!
At that time, the Li family still lived in the Great Wilderness City, and there were special people responsible for providing and taking care of their food and drink on weekdays. Early one morning, because the woodcutter who delivered firewood to the house on weekdays was seriously ill, he had to send his eldest son, who was just 17 years old, to Li Mansion to deliver a day's firewood for him. The eldest son of the woodcutter's family was the first time to 'work' for his father, and he had never entered such a big mansion before the time, so after he finished delivering the firewood, he didn't find the small door to enter the house after three or two turns, so he naturally lost himself......
It is often such a coincidence that the young man who delivered firewood finally moved to Li Lian's small courtyard; happened to be on that day, the old grandmother, who was responsible for raising Li Lian on weekdays, was also sick at home and did not come to work. One is a poor boy who sees everything fresh, and the other is a young lady who looks at everyone fresh, as soon as the two meet, they suddenly 'thunder and thunder stir the earth', and they happily talk!
This kind of thing, even in the era of Shen Gui's previous life, was easy to be thought of crookedly; What's more, it is the three roads in the north where the study of righteousness and reason prevails?
Just when this poor boy was dancing and retelling Li Lian the story of his hunting in the mountains, these two 'little friends' who were familiar at first sight were 'caught in bed' by Li's mother, who came to visit her daughter!
Conscience of heaven and earth! These two children have really 'sat and talked' all morning, even if one of them wants to go the wrong way, at least it has not been officially implemented for the time being! Moreover, the place where they talked was still in the small garden outside Miss Li's boudoir; The two sides are still separated by half a stone table! Even if you can't rest assured as a mother, won't you just get two sentences of reprimand? Otherwise, you can also play the prestige of the big family, and call a few 'dog legs' to beat the woodcutter and the old man out of anger, isn't it over?
From the way this matter was handled alone, it can be seen that Mother Li, the 'landlord's wife' who turned over, has not yet been able to completely grasp the way of doing things as a 'wife of the family'.
Mother Li, who loves her daughter very much, was immediately angry when she saw that her daughter was having a good conversation with a 'disheveled' young man! Next, she not only summoned all the servants and servants to interrogate them one by one, but also ordered someone to invite the officials of the land security and the government office! Beat the gongs and drums and sang a play of 'Three Sessions to Judge the Poor Boy'!
After returning home after finishing his business, after figuring out what happened, he almost turned around and stabbed his daughter-in-law in anger! Although this matter is not small, after all, it is about the daughter's name, and it is definitely not appropriate to make a public announcement! The best way is to ask an old mother to check her daughter's body, and if the two children are still obedient, that is, let his father take the children home and discipline them strictly; If the two children cross the bottom line, it is nothing more than going through the etiquette of three media and six appointments, and it will be okay to let the two children get married.
It was this little thing, and now that he was so troubled by his daughter-in-law, even a few elderly people from the outer door who were far away in Fuyu's hometown rushed to the Great Wilderness City in a carriage. Master Li looked at the 'onlookers' who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and then looked at the two woodcutters and fathers who were trembling and panicked, and then looked at the stupid woman who was full of foul words and eyebrows, and wanted to stab himself by the way, so he couldn't see it and not be upset!
Because Mother Li has no experience in crisis management, and her horizons are not broad, it eventually leads to nothing becoming a small thing, and a small thing becoming a big thing; Until now, people from all over the country have 'gathered together', and there is no possibility of good things......
In the end, this 'ugly matter' that insulted the Li family's style was resolved in a 'decent and fair' way: the woodcutter who 'did not teach his children strictly' was finally fined 300 taels of silver, and the young man who 'tried to seduce a woman from a good family' was finally sentenced to a beheading sentence.
Of course, this 'fine' of three hundred taels of silver was probably a huge sum of money that the woodcutter needed to work for one hundred and fifty years to save! So it is not surprising that the woodcutter's family, who had lost their son and were burdened with huge debts, put a sufficient amount of rat poison in the dinner that day......
The death of a handful of people is not a big deal for the Li family today. After all, for the wealth and power of the Li family, even if they kill people on the street for no reason, they can't make any waves; However, when the young man was pushed out of the west gate of the Great Wilderness City and chopped off his head with a knife, it still brought a very strong psychological shadow to Li Lian, who sneaked out of the mansion to watch the beheading.
She was not afraid of the bloody scene of the punishment of the beheading, but with endless self-reproach and remorse, and at the same time hated this despicable bastard world.
If this matter is put on an ordinary woman, at most it will be a few sighs, and then she will completely accept her fate; If it is put on the ordinary rich lady, that is, to survive some more time, it will naturally leave behind the 'little friend' who spoke humorously and died unexpectedly.
It's a pity that some women are born with common sense to speculate!
Li Lian thought hard and spent more than a whole year, but he couldn't get out of the psychological shadow this time. To be fair, it's not because Li Lian is thoughtful, but because she is locked up at home every day, and there is really nothing else to do......
Therefore, the young Li Lian, full of endless resentment towards this world, resolutely made a 'foolish thing' that only a girl who is in the rebellious and adolescent period at the same time can do......
In the middle of the night when the wind was high and there was no one around, fourteen-year-old Li Lian sneaked into Li Deng's study......
It didn't take long for Mother Li, who was like a frightened bird, to discover that her precious daughter had been broken for several months; This is a good thing, the entire male subordinates of the Li Mansion, including the surrounding neighbors, have all been implicated; It wasn't until the frustrated Young Master Li couldn't stand it anymore and personally found his father to 'turn himself in' that the truth of the matter completely surfaced!
This time, Li's father was in charge of affairs at home, and did not disclose this matter to anyone, and even personally issued a gag order to classify all those who might be involved in this matter: those who can be killed will be killed, and those who cannot be killed will be exiled thousands of miles away. This kind of behavior may seem a little clueless to outsiders; But at least for a short time, he strangled all possibility of accidents in the cradle; Next, he personally went to plead with the great shaman of the goddess at that time, and she personally intervened and helped Li Lian lead down the baby who should not have appeared in this world......
Immediately afterwards, Li Deng, who made a big mistake, was also driven out of Youbei Third Road by his father under the pretext of going out to study; According to the agreement between their father and son, unless he 'has studied for ten years' or Li Lian marries, it can be regarded as automatically abolished.
It may be that Li's father was 'bombarded' by his wife and children, or it may be that he has been burdened by official affairs all the year round, so not long after he sent Li Lian to the palace, the life of the head of the Li family came to an end.
It is worth mentioning that when Master Li was dying, the will he left behind was also very strange. In addition to determining that after Li Deng returned from his study tour, he automatically inherited the position of head of the family; also unswervingly demanded that his wife, Li's mother, be martyred for him! The matter of being buried alive and buried does sound a little cruel and bloody; However, within the scope of the 'study of righteousness', the wife's celebration of the funeral of her deceased husband is an expression of 'loyalty and martyrdom'!
So, Mother Li was inexplicably buried alive by several young men from the outside of the Li family...
