The southernmost end of Shanxi The Yellow River There is a Qinghe Town on the bank. There is a Li Yuanwai Li Youcai in the town. There is a rich man in Qinghe Town. There are more than 500 acres of fertile land in the countryside. A money shop is opened in the town, an oil mill and a tofu workshop. There are herds of cattle and horses, and there are nearly 100 long-term workers, short-term workers, servants, and servants.
When Li Yuanwai was eighteen years old, his parents married him to Jia, the most beautiful girl in the township. After Jia passed the family, he gave birth to a boy and a daughter for the Li family. His son was Li Jizong and his daughter was Li Jilan. After that, Jia never gave birth to him.
Daughter Li Jilan is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also talented, kind and filial.
Jielan was three years old, Mr. Li carried her to the study. She looked at the books in the cabinet and the pens, inks and paper on the table. She was so happy that she read all the books she could reach. Although she couldn't recognize many words, that kind of love was rare. After reading the books that were accessible, she pestered Mr. Li to take down the books from high places and let him "read". After turning the books, she started to pick up the pen and write again, making her hands and face covered with ink. Mr. Li said, "Oh, it's a pity that he is a girl."
When Jia gave birth to his son Jizong, the child was affected in his mother's belly due to difficult labor. He was a little mentally retarded when he was born. He always smiled foolishly when he was about to do anything. He studied for fame and fortune, and he would definitely not be able to rely on his glory to his ancestors.
It is a trivial matter to glorify the clan and the ancestors. Jizong didn't understand what happened next even though he died.
Jia can't give birth to a child, so Mr. Li wanted to take a concubine again, but Jia firmly disagreed. She thought, my son is afraid he will need someone to take care of him all his life, what should he do if he and his son are in a hundred years? If the concubine gave birth to a son, his biological son would have to give up half of the property. If she had two sons, her son would only be given up to one-third of the property. Even if she had a daughter, she would have a dowry. Therefore, Mr. Li must not be allowed to take a concubine again.
, and Mr. Li has always been afraid of the inner self. It would be fine if he saw his wife disagreed with taking a concubine. Looking at his son Jizong smirked, he also felt that he should leave more for this mentally retarded son, otherwise he would be pitiful for the rest of his life.
The biggest regret of Li Yuanwai in his life is that his family has a wealth of wealth but not a strong population.
Li Yuanwai has three sisters, one of whom is named Li Youlan, and one of whom is named Li Youfu is named Li Youfu. My sister Youlan married well and was a wealthy family, but her younger brother Youlan was not worthy of her reputation and her family was average. With the help of her brother Li Yuanwai, she could only be considered a middle-class family. However, although rich are not rich, the population is prosperous and they have given birth to two daughters and three sons. Most of the two daughters were married, and the eldest son married his wife, and the second son was twenty-three. Because he could not afford a house, no girl was willing to marry him. In the end, Mr. Li went out to pay to help him build a house before marrying him. The third brother Li Jianwen is the youngest, and he is nineteen years old, and he is at the age of marrying a wife, but he is already in debt to marry a wife for the eldest brother and the second brother, so he can't afford to marry a wife within one or two years.
The third brother Li Jianwen is smart and capable, and has a very sweet-mouthed mouth. He often comes to Mr. Li’s house to find his cousin Li Jilan. When he comes, he always calls his uncle and aunt. He also massages his back and his aunt Jia’s legs while sitting and resting. He fans his aunt in hot weather. In addition, Li Jianwen is also very good at taking care of his cousin Li Jizong, and Jizong also likes to play with Jianwen. The official and his wife both liked this youngest nephew, so Li asked him to go to his money shop to help with his work. The salary of two taels of silver a month was about the same as the salary of the shopkeeper. This is also to let my younger brother build the house as soon as possible and marry a wife for Jianwen.
Every time Li Jianwen comes to his uncle's house, he will bring some delicious food and fun things to Jizong. Jizong is very happy and likes this cousin the most. He doesn't see Jianwen for a day, so he quarreled to look for it.
However, although Jizong was happy, his body was getting weaker and weaker. Mr. Li said to his wife, "What should we do in this way Jizong is like? Who will take care of him? Let's find a son-in-law for Jilan." Jia said, "That's all."
Jianwen said to Mr. Wu and his wife, "Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of you when you are old, and I will take care of Brother Jizong, so do you rest assured."
Li Yuanwai and his wife were very moved. Only Jianwen was kind to them and Jizong. Jia said to Li Yuanwai: "Jianwen should marry a wife, so let's pay him to build a house and help him get a wife. "Mr. Li said: "I have this idea, too. "
So, Mr. Li paid another money to build a house for Jianwen, which was even bigger than the second-year-old's house. He also gave a bride gift to help Jianwen marry his wife.
Jizong's health was getting worse and worse, and he was weak when walking around the yard. Even though he couldn't live without Jianwen, Jianwen simply came to his uncle's house to accompany Jizong every day.
Jizong liked to eat the kind of candy that Jianwen brought to him the most. One night, Jizong wanted to play with Jianwen, but Li Yuanwai and Jia had no choice, so he sent someone to Youfu's house to call Jianwen over.
Li Yuanwai said to Jia: "This is not a solution. Jianwen has become a relative and has a wife. You can't let his wife stay alone in the empty room for Jizong, right? Why don’t you discuss with Youcai and adopt Jianwen to us and let them move here, so that Jianwen will take care of Jizong more conveniently..." Jia said: "You should consider adopting us. If we are old in the future, will it cause trouble for Jizong and Jilan? I think it would be better to hire Jilan as a son-in-law. Jilan is Jizong's real sister after all..." Li Yuanwai said: "I have considered what you said, but we can't get through at the moment and can't take care of so many things. Jizong is like this, and it's always good to take care of him. Even if Jianwen doesn't care, isn't Jilan still there? "Jia had no choice but to agree.
So, Li Yuanwai went to his younger brother's rich family to discuss adoption. Of course, the rich couple was very willing. In this way, not only did they have an extra house in their family, but they also had a share of their wealth in their brother's wealth, and also had a son. Moreover, after a hundred years of his brother and sister-in-law, wouldn't the Li family's wealth be the son Jianwen?
So, Li Jianwen became Li Yuanwai's adopted son.
And Li Jilan was not interested in these family trivial matters at all. On this day, she and her mother Jia went to Qinglong Temple to make a wish for her brother Jizong, so that Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless Jizong's health to get better.
On the way back, she encountered a beggar lying on the ground, her age looked similar to Jilan.
Jilan said to go over and take a look, Jia said, "What do you think of a beggar? "Jilan said, "He was lying on the ground, either sick or fainting from hunger. We just worshipped the Bodhisattva, so we can't refuse to save him when we die, otherwise the Bodhisattva wouldn't bless my brother, so we'd better go and see..." Jia had to follow Jilan.
came to the beggar, and Jilan patted the beggar's shoulder and said, "Wake up, what's wrong with you? "
After a while, the beggar woke up. Jilan asked him what was wrong? The beggar said he was fainted from hunger and hadn't eaten anything for three days. Jilan and his mother had nothing on them, and said, "Get up and go back to my house with me to give you food.
The beggar stood up and followed Jilan's mother and daughter back to Jilan's house. Jilan asked the kitchen to make a meal alone and then asked the beggar to wash his hands and face to prepare for dinner.
The meal was ready in a short while. The beggar swallowed three bowls of rice and a steamed bun in a row, and ate another plate of pork head meat.
After eating, the beggar looked much more energetic. Jilan asked him where he was? The beggar said, "Old Home Xianyang , escaped and fell here.
Jilan asked him what plans he had next? The beggar said, I don’t know, wherever he went, it was begging for food anywhere.
Jilan asked him what his name was, would he be willing to stay at her house as a young man who feeds horses? The beggar said, "My name is Tianci. As long as there is food and accommodation, it is best to stay..."
"Okay, Uncle Li, who feeds horses in my family, is old and it is a little difficult for him to work alone. Just go and help him and learn more seriously. In two years, Uncle Li can’t do it anymore, and you can also stand alone. "Jilan said.
"Thank you sister for taking me in." "Tianci said.
Jilan said: "The mouth is very sweet. How old are you calling me sister? "The beggar said: "When he was seventeen years old, where is his sister? "Jilan said: "I am one year older than you. ”
That's it, the beggar Tianci stayed at the Li family and became a young man to feed the horses.
Jianwen said to Jilan, "Jilan, why do you care so much about a beggar?"
Jilan said, "It is because he is a beggar and homeless that I care about him. Are you not very kind? Why don't you even understand this?"
Jianwen said, "In these days, there are so many beggars outside, can you care about it?"
Jilan said, "I can't care about it, but caring for one is counted as one, and when I encounter it, I can't stand by death..."
"Okay, okay, it's still the kindest sister Jilan, it makes sense..." Jianwen said.
Tianci lives in the horse shed with Uncle Li. Although it smells a little, Uncle Li says that winter is very warm.
Jilan's room is on the second floor, with the back window facing the horse shed. There is a window behind the horse shed. When Tianci feeds the horses, he can see the back window of Jilan's room when he looks up. Jilan likes to sit under the back window and read, so that Tianci can see Jilan every day.
One day, after work, Tianci went to the garden for a walk, and suddenly saw a book on the stone table. He went up and saw it. It was a book that he liked to read very much. It was probably because Miss Ji Lan Lu was here, and she didn't see anyone. He wanted to bring the book back to the horse shed to read and put it here after reading it. So he picked up the book and went back to the horse tent, sat down and read it.
Fei Ma Uncle Li said a little surprised: "Do you recognize words too?" Tianci said that he studied in a private school when he was a child. Uncle Li said, "Then you are all people who have read books, just like the young lady, this is all..." Uncle Li stretched out his thumb and said. Tianci said, "I am just a guy, and I dare not compete with the lady..."
Uncle Li said, "I respect scholars. You are still young, study hard, and you don't have to feed horses here to do rough work and be a servant..."
Dianci said, "Uncle Li is joking. Look, I don't even have a home now, so how dare I think about studying and taking fame? I just like reading..."
Ten days later, Tianci finished reading "Zizhi Tongjian", and he put the book on the stone table in the garden.
The next day, he came to the garden to see if the book was taken away, but he saw that the book seemed to be still on the stone table. But when she walked over, she found that it was not "Zizhi Tongjian" on the stone table, but "Records of the Grand Historian".
He was a little confused, how could this happen? It seems that this is not something that has been forgotten unintentionally, but something that has been put here intentionally... No matter what, it is okay to put "Zizhi Tongjian" back here after watching it, and I also take "Records of the Grand Historian" back to watch it and put it back here.
Don’t say it’s true. After Tianci finished reading “Records of the Grand Historian” and put it back here, the next day, “Records of the Grand Historian” was taken back, and another book “ Mountains and Seas Jing ” appeared on the stone table again.
This is very obvious. Someone intentionally gave him a book to read. This person is not someone else, but he should be Miss Jilan. It seems that the lady is really good to him, a beggar guy, and Tianci is also very warm in his heart. But neither of them made the matter clear, but one continued to let go and the other continued to read.
In fact, Jilan forgot to throw it away, but when she went back to look for it, the book was taken away by someone.
Jilan thought that the person who took the books must be the ones who had read books and liked reading, and it was impossible for others to take them. She also asked her parents and Jianwen, but they all said they didn’t take them, that is, long-term workers, short-term workers, friends or servants. Is there anyone among these servants who have read books and liked reading? So, she didn't make any statement. She wanted to know who the person who took the book was, and whether she would put it back to its original place after reading it? So, when Tianci finished reading "Zizhi Tongjian" and put the book back to the stone table, she realized that the beggar boy she saved was still a person who had read books and liked to read. So she didn't say anything and changed a book and put it there.
However, it was said that the young master Jizong was not as ill as he had been, and he could no longer eat. He was so thin that he only had a handful of bones left. Jianwen was almost always by Jizong's side day and night, feeding Jizong soup and water. This moved Li Yuanwai and Jia very much.
Jia said, "Jianwen, you are like Jizong's brother, and you are more thoughtful than us..." Jianwen said, "Auntie, you are my real mother, Jizong is my real brother. I feel uncomfortable now, and I wish I could not bear it for him..." Mr. Li was also very moved when he heard this.
A month later, Jizong finally finished his short and miserable life.
White-haired man sends black-haired man. Jia fainted from crying, and Mr. Li made the best coffin and buried his son. When he was in a spirit, Jianwen lay on the coffin and cried into tears. Jilan couldn't figure out what was going on with his brother's body...
Jizong left, and Jianwen became one of the veritable heirs of the Li family's wealth. If Jilan got married, he could only get some dowry. If he recruited a son-in-law, he would inherit half of the family property like Jianwen.
Jilan is already nineteen years old. It is time to get married or recruit a son-in-law, but his brother Jizong died and it will take three years to get married.
There is another controversy between this: whether Jilan is better to marry or to recruit a son-in-law.
Since Jianwen is not Li Yuanwai's own son, it is hard to say whether he can support Li Yuanwai and Jia in the future. Jilan is the daughter of Li Yuanwai and Jia, so it is better to support Jilan and Jia, so it is better to make Jilan's recruitment of a son-in-law.
But if Jilan is asked to recruit a son-in-law, it will be difficult to pick on the other party's family conditions, and it may be possible to recruit a poor son-in-law to come to the house. Besides, after Li Yuanwai and Jia died, Jianwen and Jilan may become enemies because of the struggle for family property. Therefore, it is better for Jilan to get married.
Therefore, a family of four formed two factions. Li Yuanwai and Jia advocated Jilan's marriage, while Jianwen and Jilan advocated recruiting son-in-law.
Jilan didn't expect that Jianwen, who always had different opinions from her, would stand on her side at this critical moment, so her previous bad impression of Jianwen changed a lot.
Jilan saw Jianwen and said, "Brother Jianwen, are you really willing to let me recruit a son-in-law?"
Jianwen said, "Jilan, no matter what, we are all cousins with blood relationships, and I think you make sense, why don't you support it?"
Jilan said, "Brother Jianwen, I'm still worried that you said that I recruit a son-in-law to compete for your family property?"
Jianwen said, "Jilan, I should say this. No matter what, I am not born from our father and mother, and I'm also worried that you think I'm here to compete for your property..."
Jianwen said, "Jilan, I should say this. No matter what, I am not born from our father and mother. I'm also worried that you think I'm here to compete for your property..."
Jianwen said, "Jilan, this is what I should say. No matter what, I am not born from our father and mother. I'm also worried that you think I'm here to compete for your property..."
l0 Jilan said, "I am not interested in property. I want to stay and take care of my parents..."
Jianwen said, "My sister is still worried that I can't take good care of our father and mother..."
Jilan said, "If you take care of one more person, you can take good care of it, right?"
Jianwen said, "Yes, yes, it's still my sister who thinks carefully. In fact, my brother thinks so too. Otherwise, how can our two agree?"
It turned out that Li Yuanwai and Jia were worried that Jilan would ask Jianwen and Jilan to compete for family property. Now that Jianwen and Jilan's opinion are consistent, they are not worried and agreed to Jilan to recruit a son-in-law.
Since Jilan learned that Tianci had read books and liked reading, she has looked at him with admiration. A beggar who fled to escape, a young man who fed horses actually read books, and he liked to read books such as "Zizhi Tongjian", "Records of the Grand Historian", and "Shan Hai Jing", which is unimaginable with Jilan's experience. So, she fell in love with this guy without realizing it. What happened next made her realize that Tianci was the person she was looking for in this life.
On this day, Jilan sat on a stone bench in the garden, enjoying the beautiful scenery while reciting Su Shi 's " Niannujiao. Chibi Nostalgia ": "The river goes east, and the waves wash away all the eternal heroes. To the west of the old building, the humanity is, Three Kingdoms Zhoulang Chibi ..." After memorizing this, I couldn't remember the following sentence. I was thinking, suddenly someone continued to recite: "The rocks penetrate the sky, the waves hit the shore, and thousands of snow are rolled up. The country is like a painting, and there are so many heroes at the moment..."
Jilan looked up and saw the young man Tianci standing not far away.
"Did you just recite it?" Jilan asked in surprise.
Tianci nodded and said, "It seems that there is no one around here."
"Come on, come on, come to me..." Jilan said.
Tianci came to Jilan and said, "I'm sorry, I'm disturbing my sister."
Jilan said, "No, no, do you also like Tang poetry and Song lyrics?"
Tianci nodded.
Jilan asked: "Which poem do you like else about Su Shi? Who else do you like?"
Tianci said: "I also like Su Shi's "When will the bright moon come to " in addition to Su Shi, I also like the lyrics of Li Qingzhao , especially her "Sound Slow"..."
Jilan said: "It's so good, so good, we like almost the same thing, OK, in the future You should study with me more."
Tianci said, "As long as my sister doesn't dislike me, a young man who feeds horses, I will come here to study and recite poems with my sister..."
Jilan said, "It's great, one word is certain."
Tianci said, "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse."
Jilan likes to eat candy, just like a gentleman."
Jilan likes to eat candy. On that day, Jianwen came back from the Li family money house and said to Jilan, "Look at what delicious food brother brings to you?"
Jilan likes to eat snacks. When he heard that Jianwen brought her delicious food, he said happily, "Don't keep it aside, take it out and give it to me..."
Jianwen gave Jilan a small bag of brown candy and said, "Try one and see if it tastes good?"
Jilan picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It was soft, smooth and extremely sweet.
"It's so delicious, so delicious, Brother Jianwen, you're so good..." Jilan said.
"I often buy it for you after it's delicious," said Jianwen.
"Thank you brother!" Jilan said.
On this day, Jilan asked Tianci to go to her house to read and recite poems with her, and Tianci left.
Tianci came to Jilan's room, and Jilan was eating the candy cubes given to her by Jianwen. Jilan gave Tianci a piece for Tianci to eat, saying that it was given by Jianwen and it was delicious.
Tianci picked it up and smelled it and said, "It's better not to eat what he gave..."
Jilan smiled and said, "What are you thinking? He is my cousin and uncle's child. Will he harm me? You can't be jealous of him..."
Tianci said, "I'm just talking casually, but eating too much sugar is really not good, especially women, which can damage their teeth..."
Jilan said, "I understand, you know, it's true. There are quite a lot."
Tianci said, "Where are too many, this is common sense, and everyone knows it."
Once, Tianci saw Jianwen bringing Jilan a bag of candy cubes, and said to Jianwen, "It's not good to eat too much candy, especially to women."
Jianwen said, "Shut up, you, a young man who feeds horses, don't you have the share of your words..."
Jilan said, "Brother Jianwen, he is my friend, you are not allowed to treat him like this in the future."
Jianwen said, "I understand, but I will bring you a pack of candy. What's wrong with him? He is just a guy, and he deserves to be your friend? Are you not afraid of others' jokes?"
Jilan said, "I will ignore you again. There is no distinction between high and low friends..."
After Jianwen left, Tianci said, "You can't eat his candy anymore..."
Jilan said, "Don't be so stingy. He is my cousin, and you can also give me candy. It's nothing, you should know who I am good to you..."
Tianci said, "Sister, believe me, I'm for your own good."
Jilan said, "In the future, call me Jilan, don't call me sister. I know what you are doing for me, but I can't be suspicious or fuss..."
said that Li Yuanwai and Jia lost their son in their later years and were in a sad mood, and their health was getting worse day by day. Not long after, they both passed away.
Who will take charge of the financial power of the Li family next has become a very difficult question. Although Jianwen has adopted Li Yuanwai's son, Jilan is Li Yuanwai's biological daughter and has not yet been married. She is still a member of the Li family and is qualified to take charge of the financial power of the Li family.
So, at this time, Jianwen's father became the closest relative of the Li family, and there was no one in the Jia family, so he was unwilling to participate in the handling of this matter, and there was basically no one here in Jilan to help her. Therefore, Jianwen is most likely to become the actual ruler of the Li family.
, but Jianwen said, "Jilan, my parents have gone, let's give you the power of our family?"
What should I do if Jilan asked Tianci? Tianci said that it is not advisable to take charge of power for the time being, and everyone should take charge of their own affairs and discuss major issues.
The next first major event is to bury the two old men.
Tianci told Jilan that you and Jianwen had discussed the burial specifications, make a rough budget, and then find a reliable general manager and hand over the general manager to the general manager to manage. You are only responsible for welcoming and sending the money.
Five days later, the two old men were finally buried successfully.
However, at this moment, Jilan felt uncomfortable, weak all over, and had difficulty walking. She thought it was so tiring these days, but Tianci said, I thought there was something wrong with the candy you ate, so you should stop eating the candy given to you by Jianwen immediately.
Tianci secretly invited the best doctor to Jilan and gave the doctor the candy that Jilan had eaten, saying that Jilan might have been poisoned. The doctor smelled it, but it didn't have a special smell. I didn't know what poison it was, so I had to prescribe some antidotes for Jilan to drink.
Jianwen said to Jilan: "If you are in poor health, don't worry about your family's affairs. Don't worry, I will have everything..."
Tianci said to Jilan: "Jianwen is right. Take good care of your health and don't worry anymore. Jianwen has the ability to do everything well..."
So, the financial power of the Li family actually fell completely into Jianwen's hands.
However, three days later, a team of officers and soldiers suddenly came outside the gate of Li’s mansion, surrounded Li’s mansion, and then grabbed Li Jianwen and put on shackles.
It turned out that Tianci sent the candy cubes given by Jianwen to the county government office and reported that the candy cubes were poisonous and had killed one person. The county government took the candy cubes to the church hospital for testing and found that there was a colorless and odorless chronic poison. If a person took it for a long time, he would be poisoned and die.
Li Yuanwai's son Jizong was in poor health, but eating candy cubes containing this poison for a long time led to chronic poisoning and eventually death.
When Tianci came to Li's mansion, he saw Jianwen for the first time and saw him giving Jizong a pack of candy cubes, but he didn't pay attention at that time. When Jianwen gave Jilan the candy cubes, Tianci suddenly remembered that Jizong had eaten this candy cube, so he suspected that there was something wrong with the candy cubes, but he was not sure. When Jilan's body was in trouble, he was sure that there was something wrong with the candy cubes. So, while he asked the doctor to treat Jilan, he went to the county government to report to the official.
Jianwen was taken to the county government hall for interrogation, and he truthfully confessed his criminal facts.
When he was very young, he envied and jealous of his uncle Li Yuanwai's wealth. When he grew up, he developed the desire to seize the property of his uncle. He got a colorless and odorless chronic poison from a Taoist priest , and then began to implement his sinful plan to occupy his uncle's property.
Good and evil will be rewarded, and in the end, Jianwen was sentenced to twenty years in prison.
The church hospital eliminated the toxins in Jilan and cured the disease.
Tianci was originally the son of the Sixth Prince. Because the traitor in the court falsely accused the Sixth Prince of rebellion, the Sixth Prince was thrown into a death row and implicated in the nine tribes. His son Tianci was secretly sent out of the Prince's Mansion by the housekeeper and wandered in a foreign land. He was taken in by Li Yuanwai's daughter Jilan and became a young man to feed the horse.
A few days ago, the new emperor ascended the throne, the sixth prince was rehabilitated, his official position was restored, and Tianci was also taken back to the prince's mansion. But Tianci was unwilling to be an official, so he returned to Qinghe Town and became Jilan's son-in-law.
