Chapter 6 Good people get married

Kind people are always rewarded.Li Wen'an's kindness contributed to a good marriage for him. When he was in Modian's hometown, one year, Li Dianhua brought back a girl who was suffering from smallpox.The girl was crying on the side of the road, her whole body was hot, she was obviously an abandoned sick child.Although Li Dianhua lives in the countryside, he is a young intellectual after all, and he knows a little bit about medicine, especially in pediatrics.Although the girl recovered from her illness, there were scattered white pockmarks on her face, which was not a small defect for the girl.The girl had no place to go, so she became a member of the Li family, and when she grew up, she helped work in the Li family. She wanted to repay Mrs. Li for her upbringing with hard work.Since she has to run in and out to work all day long, there is no need to bind her feet like a lady in a deep boudoir, and there is no biological mother to supervise her binding feet, and those free big feet are her life. A good helper in the village, he is unambiguous in any heavy work, but over time he has become the laughing stock of the villagers.

In the feudal society, women regarded their small feet as beautiful, and big feet were not accepted by the public at all. In addition, they had pockmarks on their faces and worked in the fields all day long. When they grow up, such girls will be Can't find a good husband's family, let alone a child who was abandoned, and his parents don't know where they are.But she didn't know that there was a pair of kind eyes who had been paying attention to her for a long time. This was Li Wen'an, the fourth young master of the Li family.Li Wen'an is a kind-hearted person who doesn't want to see others suffer.One day when he came back from outside at night, he saw the girl fell asleep at the stove door from exhaustion, so he took off his coat and covered her body.After his father heard about it, he knew that his son had feelings for the girl, so he ordered them to marry.

But the world is unpredictable, and the bride's extraordinary talents will continue to show after marriage. She has a strong helping husband luck.The special life experience makes her not only hard-working, pungent and capable, but also has the courage to go all out when encountering difficulties, and has high wisdom.She is good at running a family. She worked very hard in the first half of her life, and enjoyed a lot of happiness in the second half of her life. It fulfilled the old Chinese saying that one can be a master only when one suffers through suffering. She is a great contributor to the Li family.When the husband is at home, he has to study and prepare for the exam, and when he is away, he has to be an official. She can only take care of everything in the house.She also gave birth to six boys and two girls for the Li family.The six sons are brothers Li Hanzhang, Li Hongzhang, Li Hezhang, Li Yunzhang, Li Fengzhang, and Li Zhaoqing; two daughters, the eldest daughter married to the registered admiral Zhang Shaotang from the same county, and the second daughter married to the alternate magistrate of Jiangsu and Fei Riqi from the same county.Her great wisdom also lies in that whenever her husband and children are promoted, others are always smiling, but she is not. real Kong Fu.

God also rewarded this painstaking woman, making her rich and powerful in the second half of her life, and she lived to be 83 years old, 28 years longer than her husband Li Wen'an.In her later years, she lived with two sons who were governors, and became her wife in the governor's yamen, enjoying all the glory and wealth of the world, and didn't care about the few people in the countryside who went into small courtyards, so they lived in the old land of Xiongzhuanjing She did not leave her mansion.After her sons helped the Qing government defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the governor changed defense one year. Li Hongzhang transferred from the governor of Huguang to the north of Gyeonggi to serve as the governor of Zhili. The left governor of Huguang happened to be taken over by his brother Li Hanzhang.She was living with her son in the Governor's Office at the time.The governor is going to be changed, but the old mother is the same, the old lady does not need to move, one governor is her son, and the next governor is her son.The neighbors in the country spread the word enviously: Li's family is the governor's defense, but the old lady does not need to.Its blessing is really admired by everyone, and it cannot be added.Since then, the two governors have changed their defenses several times, and the old lady still changes their defenses, which is none of my business.

In the second half of her life, she not only enjoyed the prosperity and wealth of ordinary bureaucratic families, but also received the emperor's favor many times.Her seventy-fifth birthday coincided with the fortieth birthday of the Empress Dowager Cixi. In order to win over the Han officials, Tweet and relatives, the Qing emperor issued the "Decree of Appreciation": the cabinet issued the decree, and the first-class Su Yibo, the governor of Zhili University Li Hongzhang, the mother of Li Hanzhang, the governor of Huguang, was nearly eighty years old. She was rewarded by Tepei Enshi with a plaque for longevity, three red sandalwood pieces, a jade handle inlaid with jade, and two silk robes and gowns in large volumes. Two bolts of silk forging gown and gown material.In 1882, the old man was getting old and had been ill for a long time. The emperor issued a decree to give Li Hongzhang a one-month holiday to visit Hubei (Li Hanzhang's supervisory office), and gave his mother eight taels of ginseng for recuperation.But those eight ginseng did not heal the old lady's illness, and the old lady passed away on the day the imperial edict was issued.So the Qing emperor issued another edict: The cabinet issued an edict: Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili University, and Li Hanzhang, the governor of Huguang, are the mothers of Li Hanzhang, the governor of Huguang. Enxian mother, when the coffin returns home, the local officials along the way will take good care of it. After arriving at the coffin, an altar will be offered as a sacrifice to show the family.This!

In the feudal society, this is the highest grace that few old ladies can get. In March of the following year, the big ship carrying Li Mu's coffin went down the Yangtze River from Hankou. Officials from all over the way greeted and sent it to Modian Township via Chaohu, Dianbu River, and Quanyang River. tomb.For the mill shop, it was undoubtedly another grand ceremony. This is not over yet, more than 20 years after her death, the Qing government posthumously named her Mrs. Yipin, Mrs. Uncle Yipin, and Mrs. Yipin Hou from Jinjin.All her sons had passed away at that time, and the Qing government still remembered her, so it can be seen that her worth was not low in the eyes of successive emperors in the late Qing Dynasty.
