Chapter 80: Prohibition of Women's Foot Binding
Inside the Lee Mansion!
Li Kefei looked at the "Slow Voice" in his hand and was silent, the higher his daughter's achievements in poetry, the more worried he was that his affection was too deep, but he was worried that he would gamble on the whole family for his daughter.
"Master, is there really no other way?" Wang felt sorry for his daughter.
If you let your daughter marry someone else, will she really be happy? If you agree to let your daughter marry the Fan family, then in the future, the struggle for imperial power, the struggle between the new party and the old party, how can the Li family be involved.
Li Kefei shook his head miserably.
"The Empress Dowager has a will! The Li family takes the order! Suddenly, a message shocked the Li Mansion.
Li Kefei was full of excitement, he didn't expect that he tried his best to avoid the battle for imperial power, but he still couldn't dodge.
He was a small official, except for an article recorded when the emperor was studying in Xingtai, he had no chance to contact the royal family at all, how could he suddenly receive the empress dowager's edict.
"It must be Fan Zheng's fault with this kid!" Li Kefei secretly hated in his heart.
At that moment, Li Kefei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the Wang family to greet him, bowed and saluted.
"Minister Li Kefei took the order!"
Liang Weijian looked left and right, but did not see the figure of the young girl, and asked out loud: "I don't know which one is the talented daughter of the Li family, the Empress Dowager's decree was passed on to her." ”
Li Kefei's heart suddenly burst out, and he secretly said badly, so he could only say helplessly: "Father-in-law, the little girl is unwell today and is resting, so Li will call her." ”
Soon, Li Qingzhao, who had a sad face, came to the front hall, saw Liang Weijian bowing uprightly, frowned and asked: "The little girl Li Qingzhao is polite, I don't know what the Empress Dowager has." ”
Liang Weijian looked at Li Qingzhao, who was still pitiful, and recalled the back of Fan Zhengxiao in the palace today, and couldn't help sighing.
"Today, His Royal Highness King Duan has a fracture, fortunately, Doctor Fan has rejuvenated his skill, so that His Royal Highness King Duan will not suffer from foot disease, the Empress Dowager wants to reward Doctor Fan, but Doctor Fan resolutely refused, and only made a request to the Empress Dowager!" Liang Weijian sold a pass and stopped the road.
"It's a marriage!" Li Kefei and the Wang family were shocked when they heard this, Fan Zheng got such a God-given opportunity, how could he not grasp it, but if the Empress Dowager personally gave the marriage, then the Li family had no room to refuse.
At the same time, the problem also came, Fan Zheng's change of forensic doctor was a foregone conclusion, and he forced the Empress Dowager to marry with the merits of treating King Duan, wouldn't it be a complete evil for the Empress Dowager.
"Fan Zheng'er not only entangles the little girl, but also affects the Li family, which is simply frustrating." Li Kefei was furious in his heart.
But Li Qingzhao frowned, just like Fan Zheng, she cherished the true love of free love with Fan Zheng, and didn't want it to be mixed with any other external factors, and she loved poetry all her life, and now the state of writing poetry with love is the realm she dreams of.
Liang Weijian sighed in his heart when he saw this, and it was really a pair with a good heart, and he said directly: "Doctor Fan asked the Empress Dowager to persuade the empress dowager to prohibit the practice of foot binding among women in the world and stop this kind of self-harm." ”
"No foot binding!"
Li Kefei couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Fan Zheng to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and instead of asking for marriage, he made an irrelevant request to prohibit foot binding.
"That's not right! Persuade women all over the world to bind their feet, why do you want to come to the Li Mansion to preach the decree. Wang also frowned, and suddenly his heart moved, and he turned his gaze to Li Qingzhao's feet on the side.
How did the Empress Dowager know that her daughter was bound to her feet, it was Fan Zheng.............
Liang Weijian continued: "The Empress Dowager has an order: the mourning family is the master of the women of the world, and she suddenly heard that the women of the world are suffering from foot binding, self-abandonment of their feet, and artificial self-harm, which is very painful, and she specially ordered to prohibit the matter of foot binding, Li Qingzhao is the first talented woman in the Great Song Dynasty, and she is also an example of women in the world, and she should be an example and take the lead in letting go of her feet." ”
"The little woman Li Qing obeyed the order!"
Li Qingzhao's lowered face showed a hint of emotion, on the night of Qixi Festival, she was in unbearable pain because of foot binding, but Fan Zheng remembered it, and now she is using the power of the Empress Dowager to prohibit women in the world from binding their feet, and let her personally set an example to completely get rid of the pain of foot binding.
Li Kefei was full of flavors, he still misestimated Fan Zheng, he thought that Fan Zheng asked for marriage, but he didn't expect him to use such credit to only exchange his daughter from the pain of foot binding.
At the same time, he couldn't help feeling guilty, Fan Zheng wanted to save his daughter, but it was he who really hurt his daughter, and it was he who forced his daughter to bind her feet.
"In addition, Fan Langzhong wrote a poem in the palace, and the Empress Dowager ordered the old slave to bring it to Miss Li." Say it! Liang Weijian handed a manuscript to Li Qingzhao.
"Ask the world, what is love, teach life and death. ………………。 ”
Li Qingzhao looked at the poignant love of the wild goose on the manuscript and this eternal question, and his face couldn't help but show dazzling brilliance.
"Please also ask my father-in-law to return to the Queen Mother, I like this poem very much!" Li Qingzhao said firmly.
What love is, originally she couldn't tell the truth, but now she has understood, love is in one thing after another that Fan Zheng is silently doing for her, in the poems one after another between them.
Li Kefei and his wife looked at their daughter's performance, how did they not know that this poem must have been written in their daughter's heart.
Liang Weijian nodded and said: "The old slave will definitely report it truthfully, by the way, Lord Li, when I came just now, the old slave had already copied this poem on the middle wall of Li Mansion Road, and I hope that Lord Li will not erase it again, because the Empress Dowager and His Majesty and the princes like Miss Li's poems very much." ”
"Wechen obeys!" Li Kefei said helplessly.
At that moment, Liang Weijian got up and went back to the palace, and Li Kefei and his wife got up and sent it to the door, only to see that there was indeed another poem on the wall outside Li's mansion.
"Touching the Fish, Yanqiu Words"
In the seventh year of Yuan You, he went to Li Mansion to propose marriage, and the goose catcher in the West Market was ......................... Wang read softly, and couldn't help but burst into tears as he read.
"The sky is also jealous, and I don't believe it, and the warblers and swallows are all loess ............."
Li Kefei's heart was shocked, he knew that the relationship between Fan Zheng and his daughter was not jealousy, but it was a man-made disaster like foot binding, from Zhao Mingcheng at the beginning who deliberately made it bad, to his angry rejection of Fan's marriage proposal for the sake of fame.
From the struggle for power above the court and the grievances of the new party and the old party, as well as the Li Fu's sacrifice of his daughter for the family, this love is being stifled step by step.
At this moment, Li Kefei calmed down for the first time, and looked at the poems on the wall outside the Li Mansion from the beginning, from the cheerfulness of 'Chang Ji Xi Pavilion Sunset' to the sadness of 'life is only as first seen'.
From the sad and speechless of 'things are people, not everything' to 'but the weather is cool and autumn'. 'I want to talk about it.
From the desolation of 'looking for and seeking, cold and lonely, miserable and miserable' to 'asking the world, what is love, and teaching life and death to promise' through the ages.
A poem should have become a good story that has been passed down in the world for thousands of years, and the love that everyone envies is forced to separate by various pressures of the world.
"Could it be that I was really wrong!" Li Kefei asked himself for the first time.
