Li Shuan really wanted to find a son-in-law for his sister. His parents died early, so he and his sister depended on each other for life, and they had a deep love for each other.
Li Shuan was very worried about his sister's marriage. It was not because no one proposed marriage, but because there were too many people who proposed marriage. Only when you have choices can you feel happy.
Some young masters from wealthy families came to propose marriage. Li Shuan knew that wealthy families had three wives and four concubines, and he was afraid that his younger sister would be wronged if he came over. People with average conditions came to propose marriage, but he also thought that their conditions were not good, and he was afraid that his younger sister would suffer if they came over. The rich ones
No, not even if you are too poor, which is troublesome.
After getting to know Li Jinzhong, Li Shuan just thought that Li Jinzhong was a nice person, but he had no idea of betrothing his sister to Li Jinzhong. Until one time, a fat man set up a stall next to him to touch bones and tell fortunes. He had nothing to do, so Li Shuan asked the fat man to betroth his sister to Li Jinzhong.
Li Yuan felt that as a father, he hoped that his son would become a successful man and wanted to know whether his son would have great potential in the future.
When the fat man touched it, he found something extraordinary. He said that your son, Lao Shuan, is not an ordinary person. He will definitely be a powerful figure in the future. Li Shuan knew that by touching the bones, one can tell that the fortune teller is 30% true and 70% false.
It's nonsense, but I can't believe it, but I still feel happy in my heart.
Li Jinzhong always wanted to be a farmer, ascend to the Emperor's Hall in the evening, advance through the imperial examination, and then become an official, and then become a high official. But he failed after repeated tests. Seeing that the fat man could touch bones, he simply let him touch his bones.
This touch made it even worse. The fat man trembled all over and said, "Xiangong Li, your life is very important. In the future, you will be inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people. You are extremely precious."
"Ha..." Li Jinzhong laughed and said, "Could it be that Mr. I am here for fun? How is this possible?"
The fat man said solemnly: "I think I, old Liang, who is known as Liang Tiezui in Jianghu, is famous for his ability to touch his bones and cut off his life. If I am not accurate, my husband will come and smash my stall."
Li Jinzhong thought to himself: "Is it true or false? Look at the way the fat man said it, is it true? Am I destined to be the number one scholar? If I can join the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future, if that is the case, I will be worth millions.
Above others. I hope so, then I, Li Jinzhong, will be able to make a comeback."
Li Shuan heard it funny, and asked Liang Tiezui to touch him again. Liang Tiezui shook his head while touching, and said: "No, no, no, my brother is destined to be a disaster star, and he will be imprisoned. No, no,
Not good."
Li Shuan was so angry. When he touched his son and Li Jinzhong, he always said good things, but when he came here, he was about to be ruined. He thought to himself: "What the hell Liang Tiezui, it's weird that I believe you."
At this time, several guards in imperial robes ran over, and the leader said respectfully to Liang Tiezui: "Mr. Liang, you have given us a hard time looking for him. Your Majesty, the commanding general, has invited you, and the car has been prepared for you. Please come with us."
Bar."
Liang Tiezui said: "The fat man only touches the people he is destined to meet. Luo Sigong has no connection with me, so the fat man will go." As he said that, he jumped up and disappeared.
When the Jin Yiwei saw Liang Tiezui leaving, he was as anxious as anything and shouted to his subordinates: "Why the hell are you just standing there? Why don't you hurry up and chase me."
When Li Shuan saw the fat man wearing ordinary clothes, he thought he was just a cheating man. He didn't expect that he had such a big background. He didn't even give face to the commander of the Jin Yiwei. He thought: "This is an expert. Could it be that his calculations are really accurate?"
Will this Li Jinzhong really become a big shot in the future? I heard that he won the scholarship at the age of fourteen, and he is still taking the exam. If he passes the exam in the future, he may really become a big shot."
When Li Shuan thought about this, he came up with the idea of marrying his sister to Li Jinzhong.
On this day, Li Jinzhong closed his stall and went home. Just as he was about to finish dinner, he suddenly heard a woman in the courtyard shout: "Li Jinzhong, come out here."
Li Jinzhong was puzzled and thought, "Who is this?" When he went out and saw it, it turned out to be Li Ermei.
Previously, Li Ermei had guessed that Li Jinzhong had rejected the marriage, and was not convinced. She always wanted to ask Li Jinzhong face to face. He found out Li Jinzhong's address from his nephew Xiao Li Yuan, and plucked up the courage to come without his brother knowing.
Li Jinzhong smiled and said, "Isn't this the second sister of Brother Shuan's family? Why are you here?"
Li Ermei said: "Li Jinzhong, I'm just here to ask you a question: What's wrong with me and why am I not worthy of you?"
Li Jinzhong said: "Hello, I'm good everywhere. It's not that you're not good enough for me, but that I'm not good enough for the girl."
Li Ermei was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Li Jinzhong to say that, and then asked: "Then why did you refuse this marriage?"
Li Jinzhong said: "If Brother Shuan introduces me to a plain-looking woman, I will agree to it. But girl, you are as beautiful as a flower, but I am poor. I don't want to wrong my girl, so I refuse this marriage."
Li Jinzhong liked Li Ermei very much, so when Li Shuan said that he would betroth Li Ermei to him, he was overjoyed. However, Li Jinzhong had a low self-esteem. He lived in poverty and earned a few coins by writing letters. He could barely make ends meet by frugally.
What should he do to support Li Ermei? He didn't want Li Ermei to marry and suffer, so he felt sad and finally rejected Li Shuan.
Li Ermei was very moved when she heard what Li Jinzhong said, and said, "You are a stupid person in reading, and your reading is too roundabout." After saying that, she turned around and ran away.
Li Jinzhong looked at Li Ermei's back and felt sorry for himself, thinking: "It would be great if I can pass the exam. If I pass the exam, I can marry such a good girl, but why can't I pass the exam?"
Li Shuan returned home but did not see Li Ermei. After waiting for a long time, he still did not see his sister back. He was afraid that something might happen to his sister, so he just wanted to go look for her, but Li Ermei came back.
Li Shuan said unhappily: "Damn girl, where have you been? Why did you come back just now? Are you ashamed that such a big girl can't run away from home?"
Li Ermei said: "I'm going to Li Jinzhong's house."
Li Shuan was startled and said, "What are you doing there?"
Li Ermei said: "I asked him what's wrong with me, why did he refuse?"
Li Shuan said angrily: "Second sister, second sister, what are you doing? How can a girl come to your door by yourself? Are you embarrassed?"
Li Ermei said: "If you don't ask, how will you know what he thinks? You have to ask before you know."
Li Shuan also wanted to know why Li Jinzhong refused. Although he felt that Li Jinzhong probably thought that his second sister was uneducated and illiterate, he couldn't be sure. So he asked, "What did he say?"
Li Ermei blushed and said, "He said he was not good enough for me because he was afraid of wronging me." After saying that, he ran back to the house.
Li Shuan said to himself: "This Li Jinzhong is really interesting."
When he came out of the stall the next day, Li Shuan pushed away the little Li Yuan again and asked Li Jinzhong, "I heard from the second sister that she came to see you?"
Li Jinzhong nodded.
Li Shuan said: "Last time I was embarrassed to ask you why you disagreed. Do you think my second sister is bad?"
Li Jinzhong sat on the bench, lowered his head and said, "It's not that she's bad, it's that I'm too poor and I'm afraid of wronging her."
Li Shuan said: "Brother, what do you want me to say about you? What are you afraid of being poor? Second sister also comes from a poor background and can handle it. I also know that your family is poor, but I think you are a good person, so I deliberately put Er sister's
I will entrust you with my life. I will ask you again, are you still willing now?"
Li Jinzhong thought for a while and said, "My money is very tight right now and I can't afford the betrothal gift."
Li Shuan said: "Don't worry about money. I don't want you to pay a penny as a betrothal gift. In addition, I still have a few savings, and I will use them as a dowry for my second sister. What do you think?"
Li Jinzhong was so moved that tears filled his eyes. He took Li Shuan's hand and said, "Brother Shuan, thank you, thank you! Don't worry, the second sister can get through, and I will not let her suffer. If I, Li Jinzhong, can't do it,
Just let me be struck by lightning and die badly."
