"(I) can weave exquisite Bai Juan at the age of thirteen, learn to cut clothes at the age of fourteen, play the piano at the age of fifteen, and read poetry at the age of sixteen. Being your wife at the age of seventeen often makes me feel painful and sad. Since you are a small official in the prefect's office, you should abide by the rules of the office and concentrate on your work. I stayed alone in an empty room, and the day when we met was really hard. As soon as the rooster crows, I weave silk on the machine and can't sleep every night. I knitted five silks in three days, and my mother-in-law deliberately suspected me of knitting slowly. Not because I knit slowly, but because your daughter-in-law is difficult to do! Since I can't handle (your family), it's no use raising it for nothing. (You) can tell your mother-in-law now and send me back to my family as soon as possible. " After hearing this story, Jiao Zhongqing told his mother in class: "I am no longer a senior official and enjoy a generous life. Fortunately, I can still marry this (virtuous and capable) wife. After marriage, (the young couple) will live in love with each other and (agree) to stay underground as partners after death. We have been together for less than two or three years, and (life) has just begun. Time is not too long. There is nothing wrong with this woman's behavior. Where did she expect her mother to be dissatisfied? " Jiao Mu said to Qin Qing, "You are so ignorant! This woman doesn't pay attention to manners and acts according to her own wishes. I've been holding it for a long time. How can you act independently? There is a virtuous woman in the neighbor's house named Qin Luofu, who is very cute. No one can match her. Mom will propose for you. Get rid of Liu Lanzhi and send her away. Never keep (her)! " Jiao Zhongqing straightened up and knelt down to tell her: "My child respectfully told her mother that if I divorce this woman now, I will never marry again in my life!" After listening to her son's words, Jiao Mu knocked on the bed (with her fist) and lost her temper (scolded): "What are you afraid of? How dare you speak for your daughter-in-law! I am not good to her, and of course I can't promise you. " Jiao Zhongqing was silent, bowed to his mother twice, and then went back to his room. He opened his mouth to talk to his wife, but he couldn't say anything: "I didn't want to kick you out, my mother forced me." You have to go back to your parents' house for the time being. I'm going back to the Taishoufu for the time being, and I'll be back soon. You are welcome to my home when you come back. To this end, you will be wronged, don't go against what I said. " Liu Lanzhi said to Jiao Zhongqing, "Don't bother any more! I remember that at the end of that winter, when I left my mother's house to marry you, I always obeyed my mother-in-law's will when I was serving. How dare I make my own decision? Hard work day and night, lonely torture, always thought there was no fault, and served my mother-in-law all my life. After all, I was driven away. How can I get back to your house? I have an embroidered waist-length coat embroidered with beautiful glitter, a double bucket made of red yarn, sachets hanging at four corners, and sixty or seventy boxes of clothes, all tied with bright green silk ropes. Everything is different. All kinds of utensils are in that box curtain. I'm cheap and worthless, and I don't deserve to take it to see your future remarried wife. Take it as my souvenir, I will never see you again. Always comfort these, (I hope you) never forget me. "
The cock crowed, and it was dawn outside. Liu Lanzhi gets up and gets dressed. Put on my embroidered skirt and change it several times every time I wear it. Wearing silk shoes at the foot, sparkling jewelry on the head, white silk around the waist, shining like water waves, earrings made of bright moon beads on the ears, slender fingers as white as sharpened onion roots, and rosy lips as rubies. There really is no second one in the world.
Liu Lanzhi went to the hall to meet her mother-in-law, who was always angry. (Lan Zhi said:) "When I was a daughter, I grew up in the country after I was born. I have never received a good education, and I am even more ashamed to marry your young master. I accept a lot of money and gifts from my mother-in-law, but I can't stand her orders. I went back to my mother's house today, just thinking of my mother-in-law's hard work at home. " Turning to say goodbye to her sister-in-law, tears fell like strings of beads. (Liu Lanzhi says to her sister-in-law:) "When I first arrived at your house, you were still walking in bed. Today, I was kicked out. You are as tall as me. I hope you will try your best to support your mother and serve her old people well. Don't forget me when you play. " (Lan Zhi finished) Going out, getting on the bus and leaving, tears kept falling.
Jiao Zhongqing's horse walked ahead, followed by Liu Lanzhi's garage, and the car made a faint sound. They met at the crossroads. Jiao Zhongqing got off the horse and got into Liu Lanzhi's car. They bowed their heads and whispered to each other. (Jiao Zhongqing said): "I swear I won't break up with you. Go back to your mother's house for a while. I'm going to Lujiang Taishoufu (on business) for the time being, and I'm sure I'll be back soon. I swear to God, I will never be sorry for you. " Liu Lanzhi stared at Zhong Qing and said, "Thank you for your loyalty and desire for love! Since you remember me like this, I hope you can pick me up early. You must be a rock, and I must be cattail and reed. Pucao and reed are soft and strong as silk, and rocks are not easily moved. I have a grumpy brother. I'm afraid I won't listen to my wishes. When I think about the future, I feel that I am suffering. " Then raise your hand to say goodbye, disappointed, and the feelings of the two people are the same. Lan Zhi walked into the room and came to Nacella, feeling humiliated back and forth. Mother Liu was very surprised (when she saw her coming back). She clapped her hands and said, "I didn't expect you to come back by yourself! I taught you to spin at the age of thirteen, cut clothes at the age of fourteen, play the piano at the age of fifteen, be polite at the age of sixteen, and send you to get married at the age of seventeen. I always thought I wouldn't make any mistakes. What is the matter with you now? No one greeted you when you came back! " Lan Zhi said to her mother in shame, "There is really nothing wrong with my daughter." Mother was very sad after hearing this. (Lan Zhi) Just returned to China for more than ten days, the county magistrate sent a matchmaker to the door. (Matchmaker) It is said that the county magistrate's family has a third son, chinese odyssey, who is beautiful and elegant, and is only eighteen or nineteen years old. He has a glib tongue and is very capable.
Mother Liu said to her daughter, "You can promise him." The daughter replied tearfully, "When Lan Zhi came back, Jiao Zhongqing repeatedly told me to swear never to part. Today is against friendship. I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Then you can refuse the matchmaker and talk about it later. "
Mother Liu told the matchmaker: "(We) are poor and humble. We took this daughter and were sent back to our parents' house soon after we got married. If (she) can't be the wife of a government official, how can she be worthy of the son of grandpa? I hope you can ask around (and then visit other women), but I can't just promise you. A few days after the county magistrate's matchmaker left, the prefect sent an army to propose marriage. ..... Said the fifth son of the satrap, beautiful and elegant, not married, asked Cheng Jun to be the matchmaker, which was conveyed by the master book. Directly said to Liu's mother, "We are too strong to have such a good son. Since you want to marry your family, send me to your family as a matchmaker. "
