This was an era where heroes were divided, warlords fought, and Chinese and foreign ideas fiercely collided. It was a link between the past and the future. It was called the Republic of China.
The client is the daughter of the magistrate of Yangguan County.
Yangguan County was relatively wealthy at this period, with a good geographical location and a small trade center, so being the county magistrate here was considered a lucrative job.
Furthermore, the ancestors of the client were from Yangguan County. They were all born as literati. Their ancestors had all been officials and had done favors to local people. They were quite prestigious here and were considered to be a large family in the county.
Although it’s not enough to see outside...
But locally it's enough.
Although the current situation outside is chaotic, it does not have that great impact on the county. The county magistrate's family is not having a hard time, and there are many merchants who are fawning over them.
After all, he is the county magistrate, so it's strange that the merchants don't curry favor with him. He has a big tree at his back so he can enjoy the shade. The only thing that can be seen and touched now is this big tree.
Moreover, the people who can interact with the county magistrate are all big businessmen. The county magistrate is also quite special in making friends. He likes to make friends with literati.
In other words, the businessman who is the most educated will get along with him.
This caused many businessmen to learn some ancient poetry and pretend to be in front of the county magistrate, despite their lack of education. However, the magistrate could see this and ignored them.
Being the county magistrate of a place all the time without stepping down is not enough even if you don't have some IQ.
Let’s talk about the family relationship of the county magistrate. The county magistrate’s name is Liu Ruiguang. When he was young, he admired Shi Qianshuang, who was famous throughout the county as a talented girl. In the end, he turned Shi Qianshuang into his wife.
The client, Liu Yuqing, was born. Liu Yuqing was born from Xiao Congming. Her appearance was almost the same as that of her talented mother, and she was equally beautiful.
My wife is talented and beautiful, my daughter is smart and beautiful, and I am a county magistrate, so my life is considered complete.
Liu Ruiguang and his wife are particularly affectionate. She has been the only one for so many years. Although the client's grandmother was dissatisfied and felt that Liu Ruiguang's status could be helped by his aunt to help him spread his business, Liu Ruiguang resisted the pressure from his mother and did not marry a concubine. Come to trouble your wife.
Although it was the Republic of China, it was normal to bring a concubine into the house.
But a happy family will always have changes due to some things, otherwise Meng Li would not have arrived.
When the client was seventeen years old, Liu Ruiguang met a woman. She could be said to be a replica of Shi Qianshuang back then. She was equally talented and could compose poems on the spot, casually.
And he also has very romantic feelings, and even his words seem cultured.
Especially yearning for beautiful love and a poetic life.
The two knew each other and fell in love with each other, and they couldn't help but have some kind of relationship. For this reason, Liu Ruiguang wanted to give her a status and marry her to become his aunt.
After all, Madam's seat has already been taken, so that's all.
This woman is a legitimate daughter of the Liu family in the county town. The Liu family has been in business for generations, so after they got together, many people said that the Liu family deliberately let their daughter get close to him in order to curry favor with the county magistrate.
Faced with such rumors, the very temperamental Liu family's legitimate daughter Liu Congdie resolutely severed ties with the Liu family.
Um…
It sounds illogical, but in fact Liu Congdie wanted to prove his innocence. Didn't he say that I fell in love with you, Liu Ruiguang, to benefit the Liu family
I have severed ties with my family, and let’s see what others say about me doing it for welfare.
This was a ruthless man, and Liu Ruiguang was so moved that a woman was willing to sever ties with her family in order to marry him and to avoid gossip. She was pinning her life's hopes on him!
From now on, he is the only relative. If he is not kind to her, who will be kind to her
Liu Ruiguang has infinite affection for Liu Congdie. This affection is bound to cost a lot of time and energy. Naturally, he also neglects his wife a lot.
The client saw that his mother was feeling sad because she could not see her father, and she had a quarrel with Liu Ruiguang to defend her mother. In Liu Ruiguang's heart, the daughter who used to be smart and well-behaved became unreasonable and troublesome.
The date for Liu Congdie's entry into the family had been set, but before the date, she became pregnant. Although it was the Republic of China and people's minds were gradually changing, it was still embarrassing to tell anyone about her pregnancy.
Fortunately, Liu Congdie cut off relations with his family, otherwise it would be said that they would do anything to curry favor with the county magistrate.
However, what was originally a disgraceful and immoral thing has gradually spread into the courage to pursue true love.
Many people admired Liu Congdie's courage and were moved by Liu Congdie's sincerity towards Liu Ruiguang and his infatuation with a woman. At this time, it was common for men to have people outside of them, so few people criticized them morally.
As Liu Ruiguang's wife, there was no way to prevent them from being together. After all, she was from the old society. Even if she was talented, the education she received led her to choose to tolerate it.
Finally, the day came when Liu Congdie came in. She was more than two months pregnant. The client's grandmother was very happy because she had been looking forward to a grandson, but the client's mother never gave birth to the client. Can have another one.
Now she just hoped that the baby in Liu Congdie's belly was a boy, so she would circle around her after she walked in, bringing her delicious food and drinks.
And Liu Ruiguang only saw the newlyweds smiling. He put aside the time for making friends at work and spent all his free time with Liu Congdie.
Liu Congdie also seemed to be very peaceful. He did not provoke his wife, tried not to appear in front of her, and lived his life in his own yard.
Maybe it was because the life of raising a baby was too boring, or maybe it was because the atmosphere of the Liu family and the earnest attitude of Liu Ruiguang's mother made her uncomfortable, so she suddenly said that she wanted to move out.
The address has been chosen, and it is very romantic. It is by a lake. When you open the door, you can see the sparkling lake, with the green mountains in the background, it is quiet and comfortable.
Liu Ruiguang still loved her very much. After all, the only one who could satisfy her and take care of her now was himself. He went to look at the address. The environment was beautiful and indeed very poetic, so he agreed.
Liu Congdie moved here, seemingly far away from the client's mother, but people outside began to say that the wife bullied her, and a pregnant woman was forced to move out of the house.
Shi Qianshuang: "..."
If she wants to move out, what does it have to do with her
Ever since she entered the house, he had never felt sorry for her. He was tolerant in everything, except that he was thinking about the child in his belly and was afraid that something would happen to the child and he would not be able to escape his involvement.
Now the master and that man live well next to the lake. They usually go there directly after work and don't return home for several days. Who knows these hardships
In the past, you could at least have a face-to-face meeting, but now you can't even do a face-to-face meeting.
