Chapter 15 Whether the son is married
The world is divided into three bright moonlit nights, and the two scoundrels are Yangzhou.
Yangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times, with beautiful mountains, beautiful water, and beautiful people. Although it does not have the bustling scene of a metropolis, the roads are particularly wide. On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops. In the open spaces on both sides of the street, there are many small vendors with large umbrellas, showing the unique charm of a small southern town.
In particular, the 'Slender West Lake', which is comparable to Hangzhou's West Lake, has touched the inspiration of many literati and artists with its beautiful scenery. The beautiful scenery of Yangzhou can be said to be the epitome of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, compared with the majestic and bold scenery of the north, it has a unique flavor and taste. With such a beautiful view, how can you not let Li Shuangxi linger!
"The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March."
Li Shuangxi is still dressed as a scholar, and after staying in this era for a long time, he has also begun to learn to be like those 'poor sour', pacing square steps and throwing poems in his mouth.
Wandering on the bustling Yangzhou street, the feet are light. The brilliant sunshine sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high fluttering shop signboard flags, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the tranquil and comfortable smiling faces, compared with the dilapidated Tongshan County, there is a world of difference.
But the strange thing is that there are not many young and beautiful women on the street, which makes Li Shuangxi a little, a little disappointed. Doesn't it mean that there are many beauties in Suzhou and Hangzhou? That's a bit of a misnomer!
"The scholar in front walks slowly," Li Shuangxi was thinking about it, believing in the reins, when he suddenly heard someone behind him, as if someone was calling him. When I looked back, an old man who looked like a butler was staggering from behind with a cane.
"Are you calling me? Uncle," Li Shuangxi stopped, and the old man finally caught up.
"Come on, come on, help my old man take a look at the woman in this painting, do you still like it?" The old man said while kicking roughly, and regardless of whether he agreed or not, he had already unfolded a picture scroll that he carried with him.
The woman in the flower roll, wearing a golden cross on her head, lightly drawing Su Mei, wearing Luo Yi, is young and beautiful, and she looks like a young lady from a rich family.
It turns out that this beautiful woman is hiding here! ’
"What do you mean?" Seeing that the old man was anxious, Li Shuangxi didn't understand his intentions for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
"This is my young lady, sixteen years old, knowledgeable, not yet married, I don't know if the son is still satisfied?" The old man looked at him, his eyes full of anticipation.
'Nima, I can't have met with pimping. Li Shuangxi's heart tightened, and then he looked at the old man's appearance, but it didn't seem like he was joking with himself.
"Uncle, your young lady is so beautiful, why worry about getting married?" Li Shuangxi, who didn't know the reason, could only shirk the road.
Seeing that Li Shuangxi turned around to leave, the old man suddenly became anxious, and 'pounced' and knelt down all of a sudden.
"Childe, you can save my young lady's life." The old man pleaded as he slammed his head to the ground.
Li Shuangxi was confused all of a sudden, 'What's the situation?' Can't see that people are still related to life? ’
"Uncle, why are you doing this?" To be honest, Li Shuangxi is really a little 'confused' by the second monk.
"Childe, it must be from out of town."
"yes."
"Gongzi doesn't know, that Emperor Hongguang has just ascended the throne, and it is not enough to draft in Nanjing, and now he wants to be in my Yangzhou beauty pageant. That Fu Ma Shiying has always had a bad relationship with my lord, knowing that my young lady has been in the boudoir, he has already issued a general order, if my young lady has not found her husband tomorrow, she can only enter the palace to become a show girl. ”
"Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world? Could it be that with the appearance of your young lady, you can't find a suitable man in this huge Yangzhou City? ”
Li Shuangxi still doesn't want to believe it, although the beauty on the painting can't be said to be beautiful and beautiful, but it is definitely beautiful and delicious, how can there be no man who likes it? It can't be a liar who 'hits the monkey'.
"Childe, with the appearance of my young lady, how can there be no man in love? It's just that the hateful Ma Shiying colluded with the eunuchs to take charge of the power and covered the sky with one hand, and the Hongguang Emperor was shameless and greedy for beauty, and whose man was willing to offend them. ”
Seeing the old man's hateful gritted teeth, Li Shuangxi began to believe what he said, but he still couldn't agree to marry a woman he didn't know, after all, he didn't want to give up the entire forest for a tree.
"Childe, you can take pity on my young lady, even if you divorce her tomorrow, it can be regarded as saving my Shi family."
The loyal old man, seeing that Li Shuangxi still shirked, couldn't help but kneel in front of him again, his head hit the ground directly, and even the dust shook.
"Uncle, get up quickly, I promise you." Seeing the old man make such a big gift, Li Shuangxi couldn't help but help anymore.
After the old man's thousand thanks, Li Shuangxi followed the old man to the door of a large mansion.
Judging from the size of the area occupied by this house, this can definitely be regarded as a 'super-large' family. There are two big lions squatting in front of the door, the door is the gate of three beast heads, there is a plaque above the main gate, and there are three big characters written on the plaque, 'Shangshufu'. At the door, there are two maids and two family members standing on the left and right, and at the foot of the steps, there are two rows of officers and soldiers with spears standing on both sides.
"Uncle has arrived, go and inform Miss Master." When the old man saw the family at the door, he hurriedly said hello.
"Master, Miss, my aunt is back," the maid standing on the left side of the door turned around and ran into the door, shouting as she ran, lest the people in the courtyard would not hear her.
Li Shuangxi's face couldn't hold back, he felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, like a fire grilling him.
"I'm sorry, uncle, they're all too happy, don't mind too much." The housekeeper saw Li Shuangxi's heart, and his face was filled with joy that could not be hidden.
'I'm really convinced, isn't the girl too ugly, no one wants it, I won't be on the set! ’
Li Shuangxi suddenly began to regret a little, "The city routine is deep, I want to go back to the countryside!" ’
"Uncle, please, my lord is already waiting for you in the garden." The maid who came out was beautiful and refined, and her appearance was also thoughtful.
'Such a maid, the young lady should not be far behind. Li Shuangxi secretly comforted himself.
After following the maid and the old housekeeper, Li Shuangxi walked into the Shangshu Mansion. I saw that the courtyard in the Yong Road is connected, the mountains and stones are embellished, the whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite. Walking into the backyard, full of roses, a pond, and koi in the pond compete for beauty, which is a typical Soviet-style garden style.
