The moonlight is dusk, the shadows of the trees are swaying, in the backyard of the Li Mansion in Dongcheng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Glancing at the thin back sitting under the tree, Li Guangyuan sighed lightly and walked slowly with his wife.

The sound of broken footsteps woke up the girl who was out of her mind, and Shiyun turned around and saw her father and mother stepping on the moon, so she quickly got up to greet her and said softly: "Daddy, mother." ”

Looking at her daughter, who was obviously much thinner, Mrs. Li's nose was sore, she held her hand tightly, and whispered: "I'm sorry for you, my son......" Shiyun looked at her haggard and worried father, and couldn't help but reddened her eyes and said: "It's all daughters who are not good......" The mother and daughter hugged their heads and choked.

Li Guangyuan felt uncomfortable in his heart, and after sitting down on the stone pier, he said softly: "Madam, don't be like this, the three of us talk well." Mrs. Li and her daughter parted at this time, and the two of them also sat down on a stone pier, but their hands were tightly clasped together.

Glancing deeply at his daughter, Li Guangyuan nodded at Mrs. Li. This kind of thing should still be asked by the mother, and his father should be the backing.

Mrs. Li understood, thought for a while, and then asked carefully: "Girl, this matter is coming, what are your thoughts in your heart, can you tell your parents?" ”

Shiyun lowered her head and said: "Don't worry about mom and dad, my daughter is very good, and I don't have any ideas......"

Mrs. Li sighed and said, "You are the meat that fell from your mother's body, happy or not, your mother can still see it." Caressing Shiyun's cold face, he said quietly: "How good it was when I was a child, I told my mother everything." Like now, how many lawsuits there are in my heart, I refuse to reveal a single thing. ”

Li Guangyuan and his wife glanced at each other, and Li Guangyuan said softly: "You talk slowly, I'll go over there for a walk." ”

Shiyun wanted to get up to send each other, but was pulled by her mother and said softly: "Let's mother and daughter say a few words of confidant." Shiyun sat down again, bowing her head and saying nothing.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter's sad appearance, felt like a knife, sat down and hugged Shiyun's shoulder, and said softly: "My mother is from here, I know how uncomfortable it is to marry another person......

Shiyun looked up in amazement, and opened her mouth slightly: "You...... Don't like my dad? Although there are thousands of knots in my heart, my mother's personal revelations are still tempting.

"What are you talking about," Mrs. Li looked into the distance and saw that the old man had disappeared into the Yuemen Cave, so she explained in a low voice: "Originally, your grandfather was friendly with Wen Yanbo, and he intended to marry me to his younger brother...... Wen Yantao, if it weren't for the war, the two sides might have made a marriage. He was a little embarrassed and said: "At that time, the defense of the capital was fighting, and the Queen Mother took us young ladies and ladies to bring water and food to the city, and rescue the wounded, so I happened to know him too...... A young girl, who is just beginning to fall in love, thinks that the other party is her future husband, so she naturally wants to look at each other differently. Although twenty years have passed, Mrs. Li is still a little shy.

Shiyun's eyes widened as she listened to her mother's story: "At that time, he liked me very much, and he could coax people, but he was not like later...... Bad, so we talked about it very well, and we had a secret tryst. ”

I can't imagine that my wife was so ...... when she was young Unrestrained, Shiyun's mouth opened slightly, and he was surprised. As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Li also felt ambiguous, and quickly reached out and fanned her mouth: "It's just a ...... to walk around and talk together, and stop at courtesy."

Shiyun nodded obediently, no gossip. Mrs. Li was afraid that the more she depicted it, the darker it would be, so she skipped it and said: "At that time, it was my first love, and I didn't think about anything else, so I thought that I would go dark with that person for the rest of my life." As he spoke, he glanced at Shiyun with deep meaning, and continued: "But after the war, Prime Minister Wen wantonly fought against the party and squeezed out the old forces. In the same year that your grandfather was Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, he was also belittled. In a fit of rage, he married me to the Li family and married me to your father. ”

After speaking, he took his daughter's hand with emotion and said, "It can be said that everything you are experiencing now is what your mother has experienced." Shiyun is clear-minded, and naturally knows that her mother does not hesitate to blow up the gossip, in order to establish empathy, so that she can listen to her persuasion.

Sure enough, I listened to my mother's words and said: "So you should listen to your mother's mental journey over the years, which should be helpful to you." Shiyun nodded and said, "Mother, please speak, the child listens carefully." ”

"When I heard the news, my mother was also at a loss, sad and sad, and even washed her face with tears." Mrs. Li said in a low voice: "But marriage is the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, and my opinion can't play any role." ”

"And then you got married?" Shiyun asked softly.

"How else could it be?" Mrs. Li sighed and said, "At that time, your grandfather was depressed and your grandmother was lingering on the sickbed, how could your mother block them?" Saying that, he laughed and said: "Although I have not let go, the two sides have been engaged without delay." On the day of the wedding, although I didn't want to, I could only change into my wedding dress and cry and get into the sedan chair...... Fortunately, the eldest girl has to cry when she gets married. "It is said that it is because of 'no crying and no filial piety'.

Then he went to church with tears in his eyes, and entered the cave room, and became two with your father in a daze. At first, I still couldn't figure it out, but the wood was already in the boat, and it was difficult to collect it, so I tried to accept it. Speaking of this, Mrs. Li breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It turned out that your father is a good person, gentle and elegant, loyal and honest, and can let me spoil me, and my mother's mind gradually turned to your father, and then there were you and my brother, so naturally I looked down on the original relationship." ”

"How can you forget...... "Poetry and rhyme said quietly.

Mrs. Li was silent at first, and then looked at her daughter with a detached face: "What do women want in this life, isn't it just to have a warm and harmonious home, a husband who knows cold and hot, and a few obedient and sensible children?" smiled happily and said softly: "These mothers have them, what is there not to be satisfied with?" ”

"But your feelings ......" Although the third party is her father, Shiyun now likes to listen to stories about perseverance in love.

"I told you so much to tell you a truth," Mrs. Li said slowly: "Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen or eighteen girls can live in dreams, and everything is so beautiful." Speaking of this, she changed her words and said: "But people always have to face reality, and after puncturing illusions, you will find how naïve you are." ”

"For example, my opinion of Wen Yantao," he said, sighing, "He has a sweet mouth, can make people happy, and will give me a lot of small gifts, and I regarded him as the best person in the world at the beginning." But in the next few years, I learned about his bad deeds at the beginning, and then look at his corruption and perversion of the law and selling official positions over the years, it was simply a bad thing, and finally lost his life. Mrs. Li was not without rejoicing: "If your grandfather really married me to him, how could he have today's happy time?" ”

Shiyun nodded, held her mother's hand and said, "I'm really happy for you, mother." ”

Mrs. Li felt that the time had come, took her daughter in her arms, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about my mother, I know all the secrets of my mother, it's not fair." ”

Leaning comfortably in her mother's arms, Shiyun chuckled: "Then what do you want to know, just ask." ”

Mrs. Li nodded and asked softly, "What do you think of the Shen family?" ”

"The Shen family," Shiyun said lightly: "A wealthy family in the world, a military upstart in charge of military power." In one sentence, the outline of the Shen family was clearly outlined.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Yes, it is a good match with our family." As he spoke, he asked, "Tell me about Shen Zilan, what is your impression of him?" ”

Shiyun sat up without a trace and said softly, "I'm not impressed." ”

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "I have seen this child Zilan, he is handsome and handsome, he is still a new science leader, and his knowledge is naturally good." He is the grandson of the Shen family, and his tutor is not bad. In order to make her daughter have a good impression of him, Mrs. Li has reached the point of being untrustworthy.

Shiyun smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I know......" She didn't like arguing with her mother, so she said vaguely: "One of the four sons at the beginning." Mrs. Li pretended not to hear the ridicule in her daughter's words, and concluded with a smile: "So my family's poetry and rhyme are not yielding at all with children." ”

Shiyun didn't want to listen to it at all, people associated themselves with other men, even if it was their mother who said this, they felt bored for a while, and couldn't help whispering: "It's my daughter who can't climb high." ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she said in her heart: 'I said this, my feelings are all nonsense!' She was searching for words, but when she saw her husband probing outside the Yuemen Cave, she beckoned, and Li Guangyuan came over and said, "How are you talking?" ”

Mrs. Li gave him a 'I'm out of line' look, and said with a wry smile: "You can also say a few words." ”

Li Guangyuan sat down, cleared his throat and said: "Girl, my father doesn't want you to be sad and sad, but Your Majesty Chrysostom personally pointed out the marriage, and we have no choice but to disobey it." ”

Shiyun nodded slowly and said, "The child understands, and he doesn't want his father to disobey." ”

Li Guangyuan glanced at Shiyun and her mother in surprise, and said: 'Isn't this easy to communicate?' Mrs. Lee gave him a 'you go on' look. Li Guangyuan had no choice but to continue: "Since you can't go against it, then you can only do it, and since you have to do it if you are happy or not, why not be happy and do it?" ”

Through the moonlight, Shiyun saw the worried eyes of her parents, and her heart was even more sad, and she was silent for a while before she said softly: "Don't worry, your daughter won't embarrass you." ”

"You're not making a fuss?" Mrs. Li asked softly.

"My daughter hasn't made any trouble." Shiyun whispered.

Both husband and wife breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Li said with relief: "That's good, that's good!" Li Guangyuan also twisted his beard and smiled: "The girl is really sensible......"

"It's night, Daddy and Mom should rest early." Shiyun got up and said.

"It's okay or fine." can persuade her daughter to change her mind, and the two of them will be content, so they will get up and leave together. When she walked to the door, Mrs. Li turned around and instructed, "You should go to bed early, try the wedding dress early tomorrow morning, and change it if it doesn't fit." ”

Shiyun nodded and sent her father and mother away.

Leaving his daughter's garden, Li Guangyuan and his wife looked at each other, smiled, and spoke softly......

"It's still a good master, and I persuaded my daughter in a few words." Mrs. Li took her husband's arm and exclaimed.

"Where, where," Li Guangyuan said humbly: "The main reason is that Madame has laid the foundation well in the early stage, so that I can achieve it overnight." ”

Mrs. Li chuckled, gave her husband a 'count of your acquaintance', and dropped half of Li Shangle's crisp.

After walking for a while, Li Guangyuan asked a little unsteadily: "Is Shiyun a little too easy to speak?" ”

Mrs. Li looked at him with disgust and said, "My lord is troubled, and my daughter doesn't want to see us sad, so I'd rather be wronged." Hearing what his wife said, Li Guangyuan suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded and said, "You still understand your daughter's mind." Saying that, he sighed and said, "I can wronged our daughter." ”

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows and said, "The concubine feels that it is better than marrying the Fifth Highness." As he spoke, he remembered that the guy had drilled into the old account under his skirt, and couldn't help but blush: "It's just a gentleman." ”

Li Guangyuan shook his head slightly and said: "You don't know the Fifth Highness, he was able to go from a helpless proton to today, but he fought hard with a knife and a gun, and it was definitely not anyone's light." Recalling what he had seen and heard over the years, he sighed with infinite regret and said: "The five highnesses are the dragon and the tiger, the watch of the sky; With great ambitions and a lot of effort, Shen Zilan is only one in the sky and the other in the ground compared to him. ”

"So what? Really let our daughter make him a side room, to serve the jade princess of the Chu country? Mrs. Li's voice gradually raised: "I'd rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix!" ”

Li Guangyuan smiled bitterly: "How can the inner courtyard of the palace be an ordinary family, and the princess is also a nobleman, why should she serve the concubine?" ”

"So, Shiyun didn't make a concubine, so it's a pity that the lord is still sorry?" Mrs. Li sneered, "Let's go to sleep in the study tonight." ”

Li Guangyuan hurriedly remedied: "Don't be a concubine, don't be a concubine, our daughter will only be a lady in the main room......"

Mrs. Li didn't smile but smiled, only heard her sigh faintly: "I hope that Shen Zilan's kid can cherish our precious daughter." ”

"I hope so......" Li Guangyuan also sighed.

Shiyun stood in the courtyard for a while, and finally couldn't resist Jinwen's urging a few times, and walked hand in hand with her to the embroidery building.

"Miss, do you really want to marry that Shen Zilan?" Jinwen said with a sad face. Her heart is not much better than Shiyun, as a personal maid, it is her fate to marry. In order to enhance the friendship with the future husband and consolidate the status of the main family, this kind of dowry girl will be used as an additional head to marry the master as a concubine.

Of course, if the young lady can marry the prince, it will be another matter, I believe that the prince will give Shi Dare a face...... Her marriage is dependent on Miss's marriage, if Miss marries Shen Zilan, then it is unlikely that she and Shi Kang will have a show.

Shiyun understood the worry in her heart, and said softly: "Don't worry, although we are called master and servant, we are actually like brothers, and I will always do the last thing for you." ”

Jinwen's eyes widened and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Shiyun stuffed a bag into her sleeve and whispered: "I'll tell Uncle Hu Wang, Ming'er, remove your deed of sale, and you will leave quickly." In this bag is a deposit certificate and related seals in His Royal Highness's bank, and the payment is your name, so you can take out a copy of it," he said, glancing at the stunned little girl with brocade patterns, and hugged her and said, "That's the dowry I prepared for you," and said with regret, "It's a pity that I can't see your wedding with Shi Kang, but you have to live a good life......

Jinwen was already in tears, shook his head and choked up: "Miss, I won't leave you......"

Shiyun patted her on the back and smiled: "You always want to get married, can you still be a maid for others for the rest of your life?" ”

"I'm going to be a maid for you for the rest of my life......" Jinwen tightly grabbed the corners of Shiyun's clothes, for fear that she would abandon herself.

Shiyun sighed lightly, and was about to speak, but heard someone in the dark under the eaves say softly: "What a master and servant, the palace is sour." ”

"Who are you?" Shiyun pulled the brocade behind her back and glared angrily: "Don't come here, or I'm going to call someone!" ”
