A twenty-eight-year-old rich girl was kidnapped by robbers and forced to marry a scholar among the robbers. The relationship between the two was very good. After the robber was suppressed, the lady returned home and waited for her husband. Each of them held a mandarin duck mirror. If you want to know the details, let me explain.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, a private salt dealer named Fan Ru rebelled in Jianzhou, Fujian Province. He led a group of people around, burning, killing and looting, and also gave officials to all his family members.
He has a nephew who is studying, named Fan Xizhou. He was unwilling to rebel, but was coerced by his uncle. He is very good at water and his nickname is "Fan Loach". Because Fan Xizhou is educated, he does some accounting tasks every day, but because he is kind-hearted, he always gets around his uncle's bad deeds. Over time, the robbers laugh at him for being weak.
On this day, Fuzhou tax superintendent Lu Zhongyi went to Fuzhou from the north to take office. When passing through Jianzhou, he was robbed by the Fan family's thieves. Fan Gong's youngest daughter Shun Ge was captured by the thieves.
Brother Shun was in his mid-twenties and beautiful. Seeing that his reputation was in jeopardy, Fan Xizhou felt compassion.
He wanted to save Brother Shun, so he had no other choice but to persuade Brother Shun to marry him, because only by marrying him and with his status, Brother Shun would not be violated.
Fan Xizhou told Brother Shun this truth, and Brother Shun agreed to Fan Xizhou in order to survive.
Yuanyang Baojing gets engaged
Brother Shun agreed to marry Fan Xizhou as a helpless move to survive. But she didn't expect that Fan Xizhou's next move would really move her.
In order to express his respect for Brother Shun, Fan Xizhong began to follow the procedures. He first found his uncle and got permission, then found a matchmaker and gave Brother Shun a betrothal gift.
On their wedding night, Fan Xizhou took out a pair of ancestral mirrors and told Brother Shun that these were things that had been passed down in the family for several generations and were not stolen. They were innocent.
Brother Shun took the mirror and was deeply moved. Although she was trapped in a robber's den, with this man sincerely treating her, her life became radiant again.
The couple separated
Brother Shun and Fan Xizhou lived a harmonious life. However, the good times did not last long, and Fan Ru's rebels were suppressed by the court.
At that time, the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty was gradually increasing, and many great heroes appeared. Famous generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong defeated the Jin soldiers and gradually stabilized the situation. The imperial court sent Han Shizhong's army to conquer the rebels.
Seeing that Jianzhou was about to be conquered by the imperial army, Brother Shun had become a family member of a rebel. She wanted to commit suicide to save her reputation, but was stopped by Fan Xizhou.
Fan Xizhou said some touching words to her: "I have no choice but to become a rebel, but you are the daughter of a good family, you don't need to seek death."
He said to his wife: "Marshal Han's subordinates are all northerners, and so do you. If you are from the north, maybe you will meet people who are kind to you and you can survive. If you can find your father, you can reunite with your loved ones and live a good life! "
These words were profound and meaningful. When he wanted to save his wife, he chose to marry an open matchmaker. But when his wife wanted to follow him, he told her that he was a thief, but her wife was the daughter of a good family.
Brother Shun promised her husband and also gave him a guarantee that if she could survive, she would never marry again and would always wait for him. If someone wanted to forcefully marry her, she would die to make it known.
When they parted, the two separated a pair of precious mirrors, each holding one side. They agreed that they would both survive and the years would go by, even when their hair was gray, they would use this mirror to recognize each other.
In fact, Fan Xizhou was already determined to die. After all, it was his uncle who started the rebellion. Although he had not done anything bad, it was difficult for him to survive.
Father and daughter reunited
The imperial army quickly broke through Jianzhou City. Marshal Han ordered that everyone with the surname Fan must be executed, and others can surrender.
Brother Shun felt that her husband would definitely die. In the chaos, she found a broken house and decided to hang herself from a beam. Unexpectedly, she was saved by a passing military commander, who happened to be her father Lu Gong.
It turned out that Lu Gong was also from the north and was invited by Marshal Han to serve as a commander in the army.
Brother Shun not only survived, but also returned to his home after a long absence. She told her father about her marriage without any concealment. After hearing this, Mr. Lu was speechless for a long time.
He was not qualified to blame his daughter, because after all, he did not protect his daughter well in the first place. But he also believed that Fan Xizhou was in danger and would not survive.
As time passed, Lu Gong and his wife also began to think about Brother Shun's future, and they persuaded their daughter to remarry.
Unexpectedly, Brother Shun took out the scissors and solemnly announced: "My Fan Lang is a scholar. He was coerced at the time, but he did not do anything harmful to nature. I promise Fan Lang that I will wait for him for the rest of my life. I will never If I don't break my promise, one day, God has eyes, I will meet Fan Lang again. If I don't, I will remain a widow for the rest of my life and serve my parents."
Seeing Brother Shun's determination, her parents stopped forcing her and let her go.
Brother Shun is a good woman who is sincere and sincere, and Mr. Lu is also a good father who is sensible. This is how he became able to see the moonlight.
Reunion of Two Mirrors
Time flies. Ten years have passed. Lu Gong became an official and became the governor of Fengzhou.
On this day, the Guangzhou defender sent an envoy named He Chengxin to look for Lu Gong. When Lu Gong and this man were chatting about official business in the front hall, Brother Shun happened to pass by the back hall and heard the conversation between the two. He couldn't help but stop for a long time.
When his father returned to the inner hall, Brother Shun hurriedly found his father and said hurriedly: "Father, this man sounds like Fan Lang from Jianzhou."
Father stroked his beard and laughed and said it was impossible. This man was obviously an official of the imperial court, and Marshal Han killed all the Fan family at that time...
Brother Shun was speechless, but kept this in mind.
Half a year later, He Chengxin came to work again. Brother Shun asked her father to give it a try. She said that as long as his father called him to the back hall, called him by the nickname "Fan Loach" and showed him the mirror, the truth would come to light.
Although Lu Gong didn't really believe it, he was willing to give it a try. Unexpectedly, as soon as he said "Fan Loach", He Chengxin knelt down and admitted his identity. It turned out that he was Fan Xizhou back then.
So, how did Fan Xizhou survive and become an official of the imperial court?
It turns out that Fan Xizhou saved many people under his uncle, so after he was arrested, those people testified for him and said that his name was He Chengxin.
He accepted the court's invitation and defected to the Yue Family Army . When the Yue Family Army attacked Dongting Lake, he made great achievements with his good water skills and became the commander.
After hearing this, Lu Gong did not immediately reveal his identity, but asked Fan Xizhou if he had a wife.
Fan Xizhou honestly admitted that he once married a wife, but after they broke up, he made a vow not to remarry, so he still lives with her.
After hearing this, Mr. Lu couldn't help but sighed. He felt that his daughter was right. He took out the Yuanyang Mirror. Unexpectedly, Fan Xizhou also took out another treasured mirror that he carried with him.
The troubled couple Shun Ge and Fan Xizhou finally reunited. Lu Gong asked his son-in-law to take his daughter back to Guangzhou and sent him a dowry worth thousands of gold. Fan Xizhou also recovered his true nature and named him Fan Chengxin.
This story shows that true love in troubled times can be rewarded, and it also shows that even among robbers, good intentions will be rewarded.
This is my impression. After reading this story, what do you think?
