Chapter 25 Youqi
Zhu Huaizhen knew that Zhao Lian'er was delicate.
But she didn't know that Zhao Lian'er was so delicate.
Zhao Lian'er couldn't move Chen Ming'an who was in a coma.
Zhao Lian'er couldn't help the injured Lou Li.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen sighed and begged Lou Li to help him weave a simple bamboo raft. Then, supporting Lou Li with one hand and dragging Chen Ming'an with the other, he followed Zhao Lian'er, step by step, feeling like he was doing the most tiring thing in his life.
Damn it, she suddenly remembered that her elder sister, Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu, had instilled in her the idea of keeping male lovers and actresses. Alas, she felt that she might not be able to enjoy the favor of a beautiful woman.
After about an hour of torment, I finally arrived at the thatched cottage. The plaque on the cottage read three words: Youqiju.
Zhu Huaizhen suddenly remembered that there was once a talented woman in Gusu City who called herself Youqi Jushi.
This hermit, whose father was the Minister of Rites and whose mother worked at Ziyang Academy, had a temperament as beautiful as an orchid and a talent as fragrant as a fairy. When matchmakers heard about this, they all came to her door, vying to ask for her hand in marriage on behalf of the aristocratic families.
However, Youxi Jushi was a love-sick person and fell in love at first sight with a young man who was a hero and saved a beautiful girl.
The young man was lucky enough to know some basic martial arts. He happened to see Mr. Youxi being harassed by a hooligan, so he stepped forward to stand up for him, and as a result, he missed the autumn examination.
Mr. Youxi felt very sorry and insisted on marrying her.
The young man shook his head slightly and said that he had a childhood sweetheart at home who was waiting for him to pass the imperial examination.
When Youxi Jushi heard about it, he was grateful for the young man's sincerity and gave him one thousand taels of silver. He suggested that the young man rent a courtyard on the outskirts of Suzhou and concentrate on his studies.
The young man wanted to refuse, but he was short of money.
Then, the young man stayed in Suzhou to study.
The hermit suppressed the throbbing in his heart and did not provoke the young man.
However, as fate would have it, every time the hermit went out to paint, he would run into the young man. From strangers, they became acquaintances and enjoyed a pleasant conversation.
When the mother learned about this, she was very angry and naturally looked down on the young man.
After some inquiries, the mother learned that the young man had a little childhood sweetheart at home. She did everything she could to get the little childhood sweetheart to Suzhou, thus ending the reclusive hermit's thoughts.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and Xiao Qingmei fell ill and died.
The young man collected his childhood sweetheart's body and was heartbroken.
Mr. Youxi was very smart. He guessed that it was his mother's doing and felt very guilty.
She ignored the strict rules between men and women and came to accompany the young man every day, and they fell in love with each other over time.
When the young man became the top scorer in the imperial examination, he proposed to Youxi Jushi. His father objected, but Youxi Jushi went on a hunger strike to express his determination. His mother also wanted to object, but she could not face Youxi Jushi's aggressiveness.
In the end, Ms. Youxi married the young man and lived happily ever after.
The young man relied on the connections of the Minister of Rites to rise step by step, and finally became the Minister of Rites after the Minister of Rites retired.
Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen, before meeting Chen Ming'an, was rather playful. She happened to see the handsome Minister of Rites keeping a young girl, clearly unfaithful, and she wanted to speak out on behalf of the Recluse Youxi. After all, the Recluse Youxi's mother was a close friend of Concubine Xue.
Zhu Huaizhen suddenly had an idea and spent a lot of money to paint the joyful scene between the Minister of Rites and the girl on the bed into a fire-avoiding picture and spread it throughout the entire Gusu City.
The Minister of Rites had to save face and decided to resign.
Of course, before resigning, the Minister of Rites divorced the Hermit, and eventually returned home with the young girl, living a life of devotion as a couple. Indeed, the young girl bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Qingmei, and was indeed Xiao Qingmei's long-lost sister.
The hermit was sad for a while, and humbly begged the young man that she could accept him as her equal wife.
The young man said that he had never loved Youxi Jushi and only used him.
Therefore, Mr. Youxi hated Princess Ronghua.
If Princess Ronghua had not used the fire-avoidance diagram to humiliate the young man, the young man would not have been so determined.
