Chapter 58 Chunhua old dream

The scholar Liu Yuxi stayed in Du's mansion to recuperate from his illness.The little maid knew what Miss Du was thinking, and went upstairs to report Liu Yuxi's situation every day. Miss Du knew that the scholar's body was slowly recuperating.Suddenly one day, the little girl went upstairs with a mysterious face, took out a piece of incense stick from her sleeve, and said to the lady: "Miss, the scholar named Liu wrote a poem and put it on the table, and asked me to take it out secretly. Show it to miss." Ms. Du was taken aback, and said, "You are so brave, how could you steal a poem written by someone else, let me see, you hurry up and send it back to them."

When I opened the paper, I saw that it said: Emperor Yangdi's palace by the Bian waterfront, several willows are too strong for spring.In the evening, the wind blows and the flowers are like snow, flying into the palace wall and seeing no one. After reading this poem, Ms. Du's heart skipped a beat, and she scolded the little girl, "Oops, what did you say to Liu Yuxi? Why is his poem so weird?" The little maid pouted and said, "He didn't say anything, but he was told that the reason why he didn't starve to death on the side of the road was that my lady kindly saved his life, so there's nothing wrong with that!"

"Damn you, why do you tell people this? Don't you know that he is a scholar? A scholar should... Well, career is the most important thing. Don't delay your life and career because of your child's personal relationship. Are you right? wrong?" The little girl said unhappily: "I don't understand what Miss says, so how do I know if it's right or not?" Miss Du stood up, first carefully looked out the door, then twisted the little girl's ears to the bedroom, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "Listen well, I want you to go find that scholar Liu Yuxi, let him He closed the door ajar at night, when the time comes you take me..."

At night, the little maid took Miss Du, and the two of them pressed against the wall, avoiding the cold light of the moon, and quietly touched the door of Liu Yuxi's room. First, the little maid tapped on the door twice, The door opened silently, and the little maid hurriedly pushed Miss Du in, while she hid in the dark outside the door to watch out for Miss. The moon hid in the clouds, got out again unknowingly, and hid in the clouds again at some point, the little girl was waiting impatiently, the door finally opened with a bang, and Miss Du walked out backwards But the scholar Liu Yuxi held her hand tightly.The little girl was dumbfounded, and saw the young lady break away from the scholar's hand, and whispered: "Remember, Liu Yuxi, you are a man with a career, so don't indulge in lust and delay your future."

After finishing speaking, Miss Du covered her face with her hands, turned around and walked away, meeting the little girl's suspicious expression: "Miss, your makeup is all messed up, what did that scholar named Liu do to you?" "Don't talk too much!" Ms. Du scolded lightly, her footsteps were obviously a little unsteady, and she hurried back to her embroidery building.After walking a long distance, the little girl looked back and saw the scholar Liu Yuxi standing in front of the door, reluctant to go in. The next day, the scholar Liu Yuxi left Yuanwai Du's residence, and since then there has been no news of him in Du's residence.Not long after, the children of officials and eunuchs in the vicinity entrusted matchmakers to come to the door and propose to Miss Du.Member Du felt sorry for the apple of his eye, so he came to ask Ms. Du for her opinion.But Ms. Du blushed and didn't speak for a long time, and finally replied: "I don't want to marry, I don't want to."

"Nonsense!" Du Yuanwai's eyes widened. "Girls' parents are going to marry when they grow up. How can they be married if they don't? Well, you're in a deep boudoir. How can you know whether the proposer is good or bad? Why don't you just marry me?" Let father carefully choose one for you, and I will definitely not let my daughter marry and suffer." Regardless of his daughter's objection, Yuan Wai went back to the front yard to discuss with his family how to choose a son-in-law for his daughter. While talking happily, two horses galloped towards the door suddenly, and two men in black jumped off the horses: "Is this the residence of Yuanwai?"

Member Du rushed out to greet him: "Yes, who are you?" The man in black said coldly: "We are the wedding envoys sent by the Prime Minister Li Fengji. The Prime Minister heard that your daughter is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, well-educated, and capable of poetry and writing. The Prime Minister is very happy about it. He ordered the two of us to see you off." Come for a hundred taels of gold, and three days later, the guard of honor will arrive to welcome the young lady to marry the prime minister." "There will be such a thing?" Du Yuanwai was stunned, "Then Prime Minister Li Fengji, I'm afraid he is very old, isn't he?"

The man in black smiled and said, "If you get the best wealth, it doesn't matter if you are old. Hurry up and prepare the dowry for your young lady, I will return to my life when I get back." "Wait, wait." Member Du hurriedly chased after him a few steps, but the man in black ignored him at all, got on his horse and galloped away.This attitude is very clear, even if the Prime Minister Li Fengji fell in love with Ms. Du, she must marry if she marries, or marry if she does not marry.With the forces outside Du Yuan, it is impossible to compete with the powerful prime minister.

This scene was seen by the little girl, she immediately ran upstairs and told Miss Du.After hearing the news, Ms. Du was shocked: "No, I don't want to marry Li Fengji, and I won't marry him even if I die. I just want to marry Liu Yuxi, as you know." "Miss, what are you waiting for?" The little girl said anxiously, "Change into a man's clothes immediately and dress up as a man. Let's run away and find that Liu Yuxi." "Escape?" Miss Du was terrified by the idea, "If I escape, what will my parents do?" The little maid hurriedly said: "Miss, you are really concerned about chaos. If you don't run away, and you don't want to marry Li Fengji, that is the real danger. But if you run away, Li Fengji's target is you, there is no reason Killing the old lady, do you think what I said is right?"

"That's right, that's right!" Miss Du calmed down, and immediately realized that the little girl was right.She asked the little maid to change into a men's outfit for her, and the little maid also dressed up as a book boy, taking advantage of the chaos ahead, she escaped through the corner door in the back garden. After escaping from the house, Ms. Du and the little maid lived and slept in the open, and inquired about Liu Yuxi's whereabouts whenever they met.At this time, Liu Yuxi was already well-known, and she soon found out that Liu Yuxi was rejected by the officialdom and dismissed because of his honesty and integrity.And his friend, a man named Li Shen, is preparing a grand banquet, and wants to invite Liu Yuxi to the banquet, encouraging him not to give up easily.

This Li Shen was also a well-known poet in the Tang Dynasty. He has a poem: "It is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat drips down to the soil. Who knows that the food on the plate is hard work."This poem can be called a household name, and no one knows it.It can be seen that his support for Liu Yuxi is quite strong. After hearing the news, Ms. Du said firmly: "I'm going to Li Shen's banquet. Only there can I see Liu Yuxi again." "But Li Shen's official is so great." The little girl said, "He is the chief minister, and the people he wants to invite are all high-ranking officials and nobles. The defense must be very strict, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in." "No!" Miss Du said, "We can go in, but we need to change our identities."
