【Chapter 481】The crime of stealing a wife is a big deal
Chapter 481: The most serious crime is to seize a wife
After seeing the name of the mansion directly above the gate, Li Li couldn't help but shake his head and smile helplessly.
Then he took a few steps back and looked carefully again. He found that the reason why he and Guo Jia did not see the golden characters on the door lintel was that they were blocked by two large lanterns under the corridor.
Therefore, these two words can only be seen when you walk to the front of the gate. If you look at them from a distance, you can’t see the name of the mansion on the lintel.
"I'm so rude, please forgive me." Li Li bowed to Miss Bu's, and then said calmly: "If Miss Don't Give Up, I'd better call you Miss Bu in the future. I wonder if it's okay?"
This is Li Li's unknown little secret, that is, women he likes to be generally not called girls, but prefer to call them girls.
After all, it was a later generational thought. He had a shadow on the word "Miss". It doesn't matter to call other women, but he can't call them "Miss".
In fact, he also knew that the word "Miss" is indeed a noble status nowadays. Only daughters from extraordinary or wealthy families can be called "Miss". Women from ordinary families or common people's families are not qualified to be called "Miss".
Knowing that, Li Li still had to raise it in person, because this was not only his personal habit, but also a test for the Miss Bu family in front of him.
As for what to test, it is naturally a test of whether this woman is vain and respects her noble status and is unwilling to condescend to the noble.
In addition, Li Li also wanted to try what this woman's attitude towards her, or what her initial impression was. If she had a bad impression of herself, it still remains to be considered. After all, a forced melon is not sweet and there is no need to force others to do so. Because Li Li does not lack women, and there is no need to force women to submit. Instead of wasting energy on women who have no good feelings for her, it is better to take good care of her women who follow her wholeheartedly.
"What does the young master mean? Does the young master think that the young master does not deserve the name of "Miss"?" Sure enough, the young lady of the Bu family did not know Li Li's little thoughts, so her pretty face was slightly angry, but her voice was still soft and pleasant.
Li Li shook his head slightly, took two steps forward, walked to her, and said with a serious expression: "Miss misunderstandings. In today's world, only women from a family of officials will be respected as "Miss", and only the mansions of aristocratic families can be called "Miss". Otherwise, no matter how wealthy the family is, they can only be called "House". Since the lady's mansion is the Bu Mansion, then naturally, he can be regarded as the honorary title of "Miss".
However, I have always called girls girls and don’t like to call them girls. This is just my personal habit. If the lady can accept them, I appreciate them; if she doesn’t accept them, no one can force her. After all, if the lady doesn’t want to, then I think I’m saying nothing. Anyway, it’s raining outside the door, and the lady just thinks that she hears an irrelevant noise.”
"You are so domineering. You and I are just a match. Why do you and I have a deep relationship and impose your own hobbies on me?" asked Miss Bu's questioningly.
Li Li's expression was unmoved at all and said, "It's right to meet you, but I feel that I have known you for a long time."
"You,, please do what you can do!" A beautiful red glow appeared on Miss Bu's sweet face, as if she had no choice but to recognize Li Li's unreasonable request.
Then she took a deep breath and continued, "My mother had been to Xuzhou a few years ago and learned some Buddhism from there. Then she believed deeply, believed in accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, and was often kind and generous. So, you can stay in the mansion and wait until the rain stops and then walk."
Before she finished speaking, she turned her head and ordered the guard, "A Si, please invite several guests into the east wing to rest. After half an hour, please come to the main hall for dinner!"
"Thank you for your kindness, and Zheng Feng is ashamed of it." Li Li bowed and said with a smile.
The Bu family's lady was stunned, as if she was not used to the name of Li Li Zhongbu. After hesitating, she bowed gently and said softly: "Since that's the case, I will say goodbye first. Someone needs to serve her mother. If the courtesy is not well-established, please forgive me."
"Please give me a gift, Miss Bu." Li Li smiled and nodded, waved his hand to signal her to go.
Miss Bu family glanced at Li Li again, then turned around and walked towards the main hall. After taking more than ten steps, she suddenly looked back and smiled, and said softly: "The title of Miss Bu is actually very nice, thank you Mr. Zheng."
"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed and said, "Miss Bu praises you. You should smile more in the future. Whether you are happy or unhappy, you will still live your life as usual. Smile for ten years and your head will turn white. Why can't you get along with yourself!"
After hearing this, Miss Bu's suddenly stopped and her delicate body trembled slightly, as if she was touched. But this time she did not look back. After a while, she walked into the main hall and then disappeared into the front yard.
After Miss Bu’s family left, the guard servant took Li Li and the other two to the east wing and arrived soon.
After a little attention, Li Li found that the east wing room was only separated from the backyard of Bu Mansion by a wall, and then he knew that Miss Bu was still very good at treating her and her group, at least she did not look down on her and her other people because she was wearing coarse cloth clothes.
"Your name is A Si?" Just as the guard guard led Li Li into the main room and was about to leave, Li Li waved and called him, and asked with a smile: "A Si, where is your Bu Mansion originated? Why haven't I heard of it before? You know that there are not many families in the world, but I haven't heard of it before?"
The moment A Si was called by Li Li, he handed the silver ingot that had been put in his arms before Li Li, and bowed his knees with red face and said, "The villain has no eyes and offended the young master before. Please don't tell my lady and the old lady, otherwise I can't continue working here. Please be kind to your husband, please spare me this time, I will never dare to do it again in the future! Please be kind to your husband,,,"
"Get up quickly." Li Li pulled A Siqiang up with one hand, stuffed the silver ingots in his hand into his arms, and smiled and said, "You can hold this little silver. I will never tell your lady that the matter has ended here. But you can't get poison like this in the future, otherwise you will suffer a great loss sooner or later. Let's talk about it now, what is the origin of the Bu Mansion and what is your lady's name?"
"Young Master, sit down and listen to the villain's slow words." Although A Si was snobbish, he had great vision and was very diligent in his hands and feet.
He invited Li Li to the main seat, then moved a horse bench to sit at the lower head, poured Li Li a cup of tea, and said in detail: "Young Master doesn't know anything. The Bu Mansion was not from Shuxian, but from Huaiyin, Linhuai, and was a large family of Huaiyin, with many tribes. Later, the Bu family fell into the trap and was separated from the war. My master and his wife moved to Shuxian to settle down at that time. Unfortunately, the master was in poor health and often lay in bed when he was in Huaiyin. He was tired when he moved. After he really settled down in Shuxian, my master died of illness within two years.
During the time of the master's illness, the old lady kept the family wealth, arranged to move, and bought thousands of acres of fertile land here to buy such a family business. After the master passed away, the old lady often cried and believed in Buddhism, and often helped passers-by and was kind and generous. In recent years, the old lady would properly place any pedestrian or refugee who had requested the Bu Mansion. Some people even came to beg for food every now and then, as long as she knew, they would definitely help them. Over time, the Bu Mansion's original family background was also emptied, and the more difficult the day became, and it was no longer able to help others.
Last winter, the Bu Mansion could not maintain it anymore, so it could only send a large number of entourages and maids. Now the total number of entourages and maids left in the mansion was less than twenty. Fortunately, when the Bu Mansion moved to Shu County, he purchased thousands of acres of land. At present, the whole mansion could only rely on these thin fields to barely say that it was neither good nor bad, but it would be maintained."
Speaking of this, A Si paused a little, looked up at Li Li, and then said, "It's not that I insisted on making things difficult for the young master today, but the mansion is indeed in a difficult position and can't be as generous as before. Otherwise, my old lady would have to sell her house and land to make a living. However, since the young master can let my lady treat her differently, I must have something extraordinary, so I told her to the young master bluntly and did not dare to hide it at all.
My lady is called Bu Lianshi. She is seventeen years old and will be eighteen in two months. She has not yet been betrothed to others. Therefore, according to the old rules of the Bu family, the lady cannot easily tell her the name of the young master. The lady is talented and different from ordinary people. Ten years ago, a sorcerer once said that my lady is reincarnated as a phoenix. She is beautiful and dignified. She is born with a husband. She will be extremely rich in the future, and may even be in the world. Over the years, what the sorcerer said has begun to work. My lady is proficient in music, read ancient and modern books, and is well-educated. The female worker is even more famous in Lujiang County. She is known as the three masters of Lujiang with the two girls under Qiaogong in Wan County.
The most amazing thing is that my lady is very accurate in her eyes and has a good world. As early as a year ago, my lady had a premonition that there was a change in Yangzhou, so she transferred all the industries under the name of the Bu Mansion to others. As expected, Yuan Shu then occupied Jiujiang County and sent troops to attack various counties, causing wars to spread across Yangzhou. Many wealthy families of the gentry suffered great disasters, but our Bu Mansion was safe and sound. Not only did it not suffer much losses, but instead paid back the debts borrowed by the old lady, overcome the difficulties in livelihood, and survived the difficulties in life.
Today, since my lady asked the young master and his group to live in the east wing, I believe that the young master and others are not ordinary people, and they must have outstanding features.”
"Well, so that's how it is." Li Li nodded suddenly and asked casually: "A Si, did the old lady owe a lot of foreign debts before? Since the Bu Mansion has dismissed a large number of entourages and maids, why did he keep you?"
"This,,," A Si was shocked and stopped asking.
Then he said with shame: "I dare not hide it from the young master. The old lady did borrow a lot of foreign debts in the past, which was to help refugees and support poor scholars. The old lady often cared for talented young scholars who were seeking food and drink, but also gave them money before leaving, for fear that they would starve again. After all, the Bu Mansion is an outsider with shallow foundation and great expenses. He is as generous as the old lady, and he is still willing to give silver to others. If he continues so generous for a long time, he can only mortgage the land property under the name of the Bu Mansion to others and borrow money to spend a day.
Fortunately, my lady is skillful and has a very good girl’s red color. Every piece of embroidered silk can be sold at a good price. The dignitaries and nobles in Lujiang City are rushing to ask for it! In addition, my lady is extremely smart and sells the shops under the Bu Mansion early. With so many efforts, the foreign debts borrowed by the old lady have been paid off this spring."
After a brief tone, A Si continued, "The villain's father is an old servant of the Bu Mansion. He died two years ago with the master. After his father left, the villain took over the position of his father in the front yard to guard the door and pick him up and send him away. Last year, when the old lady sent off her entourage, she remembered that the villain had been entourages of the Bu Mansion for generations in the family, she left the villain. If the young master had no other instructions, the villain would take his leave first."
After answering Li Li's question, seeing Li Li being stunned and bowing his head to ponder, A Si quietly retreated out of the door tactfully, then gently closed the door and left.
The sound of the door "kick" made Li Li gradually come to his senses, and then he shook his head thoughtfully and smiled bitterly.
Until now, Li Li had already remembered who the trainer was.
It turns out that the young lady of the Bu family in Bu Mansion is Mrs. Bu, the wife of Sun Quan, who was later called Queen Bu.
According to historical records, Mrs. Bu is beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and is deeply favored by Sun Quan. Until after Mrs. Bu died, Sun Quan still missed her and regretted not being appointed as the queen. After Bu married Sun Quan, although she was a side room, she never fell out of favor. She was gentle and dignified, open-minded, well-educated, never arrogant because of favor, and never argued with other wives and concubines of Sun Quan. Because of this, she was very famous in the Wu Kingdom. Although she was not officially enthroned as the queen, she was regarded as the queen of the central palace by many ministers and maids in Jiangdong. Therefore, there was a saying that Empress Bu was five years older than Sun Quan when she married Sun Quan. She had only two daughters in her life. She was also loved by Sun Quan and regarded as a treasure.
In addition, the Bu family had a cousin, Bu Zhi, whose courtesy name was Zishan, and he was of the same clan as the Bu family. He eventually served as the Prime Minister of the Eastern Wu and was powerful.
However, Bu and his cousin Bu Zhi should not be close relatives in the Bu family, because at present, there is only Bu Lianshi and her mother in the Bu Mansion, and there is no Bu Zhi, and A Si has never mentioned him. From this, it can be seen that although Bu Zhi has the same clan and surname as Bu family, he has not had much deep relationships. The two are in Yangzhou and are eventually in Sun Zhongmou's place.
Thinking of Sun Quan in Jiangdong, Li Li knew that he was only a half-year-old child of twelve or thirteen years old, and was still living a life of living under someone else's house by his brother Sun Ce. Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, is now in a difficult and confused time. After his father Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce led Sun Jian's old subordinates to live in Guangling County, Xuzhou, and was well cared for Tao Qian. However, because he recruited troops privately and secretly made friends with famous scholars Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao brothers, Tao Qian became suspicious, forcing Sun Ce to leave Guangling and go to Jiujiang to join Yuan Shu. Now Sun Ce is working under Yuan Shu's tent, fighting for Yuan Shu in the east and west, attacking cities and camps, in order to gain Yuan Shu's trust.
Things are unpredictable in the world. At present, the Sun brothers in Jiangdong are still living under someone else's roof, but Li Li just fell in love with Bu Lianshi, who should have been Sun Quan's wife. There are two major hatreds in the world, one is the hatred of killing his father, and the other is the hatred of taking his wife.
From this we can see that taking away a wife is a great crime!
However, Sun Quan is not dry and has no time to take care of himself. He has never met Bu before, so he can't talk about the hatred of taking his wife. Since God intends to let him Li Li meet Bu at this time, Sun Quan can stand aside and never see Bu in his life. He was originally a couple, and the world is a mess, and from now on, these two people may become strangers.
