In Huai 'an, Jiangsu, there is a family whose surname is Li. The Li family has a fifteen-year-old son. Li Gongzi is handsome and gentle, and looks very gentle.
One summer, the weather was very hot. Li Gongzi was so hot that he took a bath in the river.
Li Gongzi came to the Grand Canal. He first took off his shoes and put them on the shore. Then he jumped up and jumped into the river. At this time, a merchant ship carrying grain passed by him and turned around and docked on the shore. There is a very beautiful girl on this ship. The girl looks about fourteen or fifteen years old. As she just arrived at the shore, she also felt novel, so she pushed open the hatch with her hand and looked out.
At that moment, the girl suddenly saw Li Shifu swimming in the river. When the girl saw Li Gongzi, she was a handsome boy. At present, it is just a small piece of fresh meat. The girl liked it from the bottom of her heart, so she waved to Li Gongzi and motioned him to get on the boat and chat with herself and have a good time.
Later, the ship suddenly set sail, and Li Gongzi had not disembarked, but the girl didn't want to be found with Li Gongzi by her parents, so she simply hid Li Gongzi in the dark cabin of the ship.
Over time, the girl's parents found Li Gongzi hiding in the boat. At this time, the girl's parents were very angry. After all, my daughter is only 14 or 15 years old, and it is disgraceful to secretly meet a strange man on the boat at a young age. Because, in the Qing dynasty, people's minds were still very closed.
In order not to spread this story and affect her daughter's reputation, the girl's parents decided to kill Li Gongzi. Lee's son, of course, will not be indifferent, hurriedly knelt down for mercy. At that time, the girl who admired Li Gongzi for a long time quickly pleaded with her parents on behalf of Li Gongzi, saying that if Li Gongzi died, she wouldn't want to live alone.
When the girl's parents saw it, they immediately knew that it was her daughter who liked others. Moreover, they see that Li Gongzi is also a gentleman and handsome, so after learning about Li Gongzi's family, they also agreed to the marriage between their daughter and Li Gongzi.
Of course, the girl's parents can't help it. After all, Li Gongzi is dead, but their lovely daughter is different. If the daughter's life was saved because of the death of Li Gongzi, it would be a loss. If this gets out, their faces will be darker. It is better to directly agree to their daughter's marriage with Li Gongzi. This can be regarded as turning a bad thing into a happy event. Why not?
After the girl's parents agreed, she began to return by boat. When I got to the shore, I found two people crying and burning paper money. Li Gongzi heard a familiar voice, and only after a careful look could he see clearly that it was none other than his parents on the shore.
It turned out that Li Gongzi never went back to the river to take a bath. They all thought that something had happened to Li Gongzi, so they lost their beloved son, and they could only mourn their dead son in this way. No wonder, when their son's boat docked, they knew that his son was not dead. What happened later made them feel happier. Not only did their son not die, he also brought them a beautiful daughter-in-law. This is really a happy day!
