During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a small town outside Yingtianfu, Li Yuanwai was a famous rich man in the town, and his daughter Miss Li was born like a flower and jade, and was smart and clever.
As Miss Li grew older and reached the age of marriage, Li Yuanwai decided to hold a recruitment meeting to find a good husband for her daughter.
As soon as the news of recruiting relatives came out, it attracted many young talents.
In front of the mansion of Li Yuanwai's family, the lights are colorful, and it is very lively. This day is the day when the Li family recruits relatives, and young talents from a radius of hundreds of miles gather here, hoping to win the hearts of the Li family's daughters.
Miss Li, the famous beauty, was hiding behind the screen, secretly looking at the young people who had come to apply.
At the Li family's recruitment meeting, there was a surge of people, and there was an endless stream of people of all colors. Miss Li stood by the window on the second floor, her eyes wandering through the crowd, looking for the person who could make her heart flutter. Her gaze finally rested on a plainly dressed youth.
He didn't have gorgeous clothes or show-off jewelry, but the green shirt looked exceptionally clean and neat. His eyes were clear and his demeanor was calm, as if the hustle and bustle around him had nothing to do with him, he just stood there quietly, like a lotus flower blooming alone in the midst of prosperity.
Miss Li couldn't help but say to Xiaocui, the maid next to her: "Look at that scholar, he is different from others. ”
Xiao Cui followed Miss Li's gaze and nodded: "Miss, he is indeed different, although he is dressed simply, but that bookish atmosphere makes people can't help but take a few more looks." ”
Miss Li smiled slightly, and she had already made a decision in her heart. She whispered to Xiaocui: "Go, help me deliver a letter to him." ”
Xiao Cui took the order, carefully walked through the crowd, and came to the scholar's side. The scholar was talking to an old man, and his voice was gentle and polite, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Xiao Cui interrupted their conversation softly: "This son, my young lady has a letter, please take a look." ”
The scholar took the letter, was slightly stunned, and then nodded politely in thanks. He opened the envelope and saw that inside was a plain piece of paper with a poem written on it:
The green shirt is bookish, and he walks alone in the sea of people.
I don't envy the title of the gold list, I just want to have the same heart.
After reading it, a trace of surprise flashed in the scholar's eyes, and then a faint smile appeared. He wrote back with a pen, the handwriting was neat, and the poem revealed his respect and appreciation for Miss Li
Where to find a confidant, the book is amorous and self-effacing.
If you have a beautiful woman with a white head, you will live up to the time and autumn.
Xiaocui brought the reply back to Miss Li, and after Miss Li read it, her heart rippled. This scholar may be the person she has been looking for. She decided to see him in person, so she moved the lotus step lightly, slowly descended the stairs, and walked to the place where the scholar was.
When the scholar saw Miss Li, he was slightly stunned, and then saluted: "Miss, it's rude to be born late." ”
Miss Li chuckled: "Childe doesn't need to be polite, I just want to personally thank you for your reply." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had a thousand words in their hearts, but they didn't need to say more. The hustle and bustle around seemed to disappear at this moment, leaving only the world of the two of them.
Miss Li's heart is full of anticipation, and she believes that this scholar will be an important person in her life. And the scholars, at this moment, also felt an unprecedented warmth and sense of belonging.
In the back garden of the Li family, the scholar and Miss Li sat at a stone table, surrounded by blooming flowers and gently swaying willow branches. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, dappled on their bodies, and everything seems so harmonious and beautiful.
Miss, do you really believe me? The scholar asked softly, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
Miss Li smiled and replied, "I believe in my feelings, and I believe in you." The look in your eyes tells me you're not one of those people. ”
The scholar was touched by her trust, he took a deep breath, and then said, "Miss, although I am poor, I have ambitions and ideals. I hope that one day, I can give you a stable home. ”
Miss Li shook her head slightly: "Home is not about gold and silver treasures, but about love and warmth." You have a good heart, and that's more important than anything else. ”
During the conversation between the two, the scholar gradually let go of his guard, and he began to tell about his past, those difficult years, and his vision for the future. Miss Li listened, her eyes shining with understanding and support.
Miss, I dreamed of one day becoming a scholar and giving advice to the country. The scholar said.
Miss Li encouraged him: "I believe you can do it. Your talent and hard work will surely pay off. ”
As time passed, the two talked about everything from literature and art to life ideals. They find that they share many common interests and dreams, as if they were destined to be confidants.
The scholar's words were full of wisdom, and Miss Li's response was full of gentleness and encouragement.
Would you like to accompany me to a play? Miss Li suddenly proposed.
The scholar replied in surprise: "Of course I do, it is a great honor for me to be able to walk with the young lady." ”
They walked out of Li's house together and came to the bustling market. There, they had a wonderful drama, the scholar was deeply attracted by the plot, and Miss Li was moved by the scholar's attentive expression.
After the play, they strolled in the moonlight, sharing their thoughts on each other.
Miss, your smile is more beautiful than this moonlight. The scholar couldn't help but say.
Miss Li blushed, and she responded softly: "Your words are gentler than this night breeze." ”
In this way, their feelings gradually warmed up in every exchange, like the warm sun of spring, warm and bright. They begin to look forward to every encounter, every conversation, that brings their hearts closer.
In the process, they learn to trust, understand and support, and their feelings, like the ever-growing vines, are tightly intertwined and inseparable.
In the courtyard of the Li family, there was tranquility. However, this silence was soon shattered by an exclamation. In Li Yuanwai's study, he was rummaging anxiously, his face full of anger.
How is this possible? Where's my jade pendant? And that precious calligraphy and painting? Li Yuanwai's voice echoed in the study.
The housekeeper Li Zhong hurriedly came, with a nervous face: "Master, I have already checked it, and it is indeed gone." I've sent someone to inform the government. ”
Li Yuanwai sat at his desk with a calm face, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly asked, "Have any strangers come to the mansion recently?" ”
Li Zhong thought for a moment and replied, "Except for those young people who recruited relatives, only that poor scholar has come. ”
Li Yuanwai's brows tightened: "That scholar? How many times has he been here? ”
On one occasion, he and the young lady had a long conversation in the back garden that day. Li Zhong replied cautiously.
Li Yuanwai stood up and paced back and forth, his heart full of doubts: "That scholar, he doesn't look like a person who can do such a thing, but."
At this moment, Miss Li walked in, and seeing her father's anxious appearance, she hurriedly asked, "Father, what happened?" ”
In the hall of the Li family, the atmosphere was solemn. Li Yuanwai sat on the Taishi's chair, his brows furrowed, holding a list of stolen items in his hand, his eyes flashing with anger and disappointment.
Miss Li stood in front of him, her eyes were firm, she had just learned the news of the theft in her home, but a voice in her heart was telling her that the poor scholar would never be a thief.
Father, do you really think that scholar would do such a thing? Miss Li's voice was calm and firm.
Li Yuanwai raised his head and looked at his daughter, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Miss, I don't want to doubt him, but he has been in and out of our house frequently recently, and the stolen items are all things he has seen." ”
Miss Li shook her head, she believed in the scholar's eyes and his personality: "Father, you often say that you have to look at your heart when you look at people, although the scholar is poor, his character and talent are obvious to all. I'm sure he wouldn't do such a thing. ”
Li Yuanwai sighed, he knew his daughter's temper, once he decided something, it would be difficult to change it:
Miss, I know you have a crush on him, but feelings must not cloud your judgment. I'll send someone to investigate, and if it's really him, we can't cover it up. ”
The scholar stood in front of the gate of the Li family, his heart full of determination. For the sake of his innocence, and in order to live up to Miss Li's trust, he must uncover the truth about this theft. He took a deep breath and stepped into the bustling market to begin his investigation.
Excuse me, have you met this scholar? The scholar held his portrait and asked passers-by.
Most people just shook their heads, but the scholar was not discouraged. The truth is often hidden in the details, and he decided to start with the vendors near Li's house, as they know the area best.
Uncle, have you noticed that there are any suspicious people coming and going in and out of Li's house recently? The scholar politely asked an old man who sold vegetables.
The old man squinted his eyes and thought for a moment: "Oh, I remember that there was a man in black, who was always sneaky, but I haven't seen his face. ”
The scholar's heart moved, and this clue might be useful. He thanked the old man and continued to look for clues in the market. He questioned every possible witness, from the flower vendor to the groom pulling the cart, sparing no trace of possible information.
As night fell, the scholars sat in a corner of the market, sorting out the day's harvest.
He found one thing in common: the man in black always showed up in a remote corner near Li's house. The scholar decided that early the next morning, he would go there and wait.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the scholar came to that corner. He hid behind a large tree and waited patiently. As the minutes passed, the sun gradually rose, but the scholar's eyes never left that corner.
Just when he was about to give up, a figure appeared.
The man was wearing a black cloak and a wide-brimmed hat, and his face could not be seen clearly. The scholar held his breath and stared at him intensely. I saw the man look around, and then quickly took a small bag from his bosom and hid it in the hollow of the tree.
The scholar was happy in his heart, it might be a stolen item. He decides to follow the man and find out where he is hiding. However, just as he was about to act, the man suddenly turned around, as if sensing something. The scholar hurriedly dodged, but it was too late.
Who's there? The man's voice was low and wary.
The scholar knew that he had to take a risk. He stood up and faced the man in black: "I know your secret, you'd better hand it over now." ”
The man in black sneered: "You think you can threaten me? ”
The scholar said calmly: "I'm not here to threaten you, I'm here to reveal the truth." If you don't turn yourself in, I'll have to hand you over to the government. ”
The man in black hesitated for a moment, then suddenly drew his dagger and threw himself at the scholar. Although the scholar was unarmed, he was very resourceful, skillfully dodged the attack, and took advantage of his surroundings to defeat the man in black.
You're killing yourself! The scholar gasped, but his voice was firm.
The man in black finally gave up his resistance, knowing that he had nowhere to run. The scholar took him back to Li's house and retrieved the stolen items one by one. Li Yuanwai and Miss Li looked at the scholar, their eyes full of respect and gratitude.
Scholar, you not only proved your innocence, but also helped us recover the stolen items. Li Yuanwai said with emotion.
Miss Li held the scholar's hand tightly: "Your courage and wisdom make me even more convinced that I am not wrong. ”
The scholar smiled, it was all worth it. He not only cleared his suspicions, but also won the trust and respect of the Li family. The relationship between him and Miss Li has also become stronger in this turmoil.
In the Li family's study, the scholar stood in front of Li Yuanwai and Miss Li, holding the stolen items recovered from the man in black. There was exhaustion on his face, but there was a glint of victory in his eyes.
Li Yuanwai, this is your stolen item, I found the real thief. The scholar's voice was firm and powerful.
Li Yuanwai took the item, his eyes were full of shock and gratitude: "Scholar, you are really a hero, I blame you." ”
Miss Li held the scholar's hand tightly, with tears in her eyes: "You have suffered so much for us. ”
The scholar shook his head, smiled and said, "For the sake of justice, for the sake of innocence, these are worth it." ”
After the scholar explained all this to Li Yuanwai and Miss Li, he went out alone.
Soon after, the door to the study was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in. It was the housekeeper of the Li family, his face was pale and he was panting: "Oh no, master, miss, scholar him." He's been plotted! ”
Li Yuanwai and Miss Li's faces changed suddenly, and they immediately followed the housekeeper out of the study. In a remote corner of the back garden, the scholar was lying on the ground, covered in blood, apparently badly injured.
Scholar, what's wrong with you? Miss Li knelt beside the scholar, her voice trembling.
The scholar opened his eyes with difficulty, and when he saw Miss Li, he tried to squeeze out a smile: "Miss, I." I'm fine, just. Just a little tired. ”
The scholar was lying on the sickbed, his face pale and his breathing weak. Miss Li sat on the edge of his bed, her eyes full of worry and reluctance. Her hand gripped the scholar's hand tightly, as if that would give him strength.
Scholar, you must hold on, I am here, I will not leave you. Miss Li's voice was low but firm, and her words were full of affection for the scholar.
Although the scholar was unconscious, Miss Li's words seemed to touch some kind of power deep in his heart. His fingers moved slightly, and Miss Li's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope.
After Li Yuanwai learned about the scholar's situation, his heart was full of remorse. He sat in the study, holding the stolen items recovered by the scholar in his hand, and his heart was mixed.
How could I be so confused to doubt such an upright person. Li Yuanwai said reproachfully.
Determined to make up for his mistake, he immediately instructed the butler: "Go, bring in the best doctor in the city, and no matter how much it costs, you must cure the scholar." ”
The housekeeper took the order, and soon after, a gray-haired old doctor was invited to Li's house. He carefully examined the scholar's injuries and then began his **.
Miss, don't worry, this doctor is the most famous in the city, and he will definitely cure the scholar. Li Yuanwai comforted Miss Li.
Miss Li nodded, she believed in the doctor, and even more in the scholar's will to live. She stayed by the scholar's bedside, refusing to leave for a moment.
After several days and nights of hard work, the scholar finally opened his eyes slowly in the early morning. When he saw Miss Li's tired face, a warm current surged in his heart.
Miss, you've been here? The scholar's voice was weak, but full of gratitude.
Miss Li's tears burst out of her eyes again, and she held the scholar's hand tightly: "You finally woke up, I'm so worried about you." ”
The scholar smiled, although his body was still weak, his heart was full of strength. With Miss Li's company, he was able to overcome all difficulties.
Li Yuanwai walked into the room and saw the scholar wake up, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Scholar, it's great that you're awake." ”
The scholar nodded to Li Yuanwai and expressed his gratitude. Li Yuanwai's transformation means that the misunderstanding between them has been cleared up.
Li Yuanwai, me. I'm sorry for the trouble you. The scholar said.
Li Yuanwai waved his hand: "No, I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't doubt you." From now on, I will fully support you and Miss. ”
The scholar and Miss Li looked at each other and smiled, their relationship had gone through this test and became stronger. They decided that no matter how difficult the future may be, they will work together to get through it.
Father, I want to marry him. Miss Li said to Li Yuanwai.
Li Yuanwai nodded: "I support you, as long as you are happy, I will be satisfied." ”
The scholar and Miss Li hugged each other tightly, and their love story had just begun. And the Li family, because of their persistence and courage, has become more warm and harmonious.
In the courtyard of the Li family's mansion, festive red lanterns are hung high, and guests are in an endless stream, laughing and blessings one after another. The wedding of the scholar and Miss Li is underway, and it is a grand and warm celebration.
The scholar was dressed in a red wedding dress and stood in front of the festive sedan chair, his eyes shining with happiness. Miss Li sat in a sedan chair, holding a bouquet of flowers and a happy smile on her face. From this day on, she will spend the rest of her life hand in hand with scholars.
Miss, are you ready? The scholar asked softly.
Miss Li nodded, her voice full of antiquity: "I can't wait, scholar." ”
With the joy playing, the sedan chair slowly moved forward, the scholar took Miss Li's hand, and the two entered the wedding hall.
In the presence of friends and family, they exchanged vows, pledging to never leave them, whether they were rich or poor, sick or healthy.
Li Yuanwai stood in the crowd, looking at his daughter and scholars, and his heart was full of emotion. He stepped forward and said to the scholar, "Scholar, from now on, you will be my son. I'm proud to have a son-in-law like you. ”
The scholar nodded movingly: "Thank you, Li Yuanwai." I will spend my whole life taking care of Miss and making her happy. ”
After the wedding, the guests left one after another, and the scholar and Miss Li returned to their new house hand in hand. The room was warmly and romanticly furnished, and the two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of longing for the future.
Scholar, do you remember the first time we met? Miss Li snuggled into the scholar's arms and asked softly.
The scholar nodded: "Of course I remember, it was the best moment of my life." ”
Miss Li smiled: "Me too." From that moment on, I knew you were the person I was meant to be. ”
They hugged each other tightly, knowing that no matter what the future holds, they would face it hand in hand. Li Yuanwai looked at them outside the door, his heart full of satisfaction.
The life of the scholar and Miss Li is getting happier and happier. They supported each other and worked together to overcome life's difficulties. Li Yuanwai has also become more enlightened, he no longer judges people by their appearance, but pays more attention to a person's inner qualities.
The rich family's life is harmonious and beautiful, and their story has become a good story in the neighborhood. The love between Scholar and Miss Li, like the red lantern at their wedding, illuminates each other's lives and warms everyone who hears their story.
