In the ancient Jiangnan water town, there is an ancient street called Yanyu Lane, which is lined with bluestone roads, and the quaint wooden pavilions are arranged in a staggered manner on both sides, and the eaves are warped, as if every brick and tile tells the story of a thousand years. Here, there is a legend about a good woman who is rare in her life, her name is Liu Mengli, and she is a talented woman and a good wife praised by everyone in the town.
The story begins on a spring twilight, drizzling with light smoke. Su Moxuan, a scholar in the town, held a volume of ancient books in his hand, strolling through the smoke and rain alley, his heart was full of sorrow about having no way to get into the office. He was originally a famous family in the capital, but due to family changes, he lived in his uncle's house, studying hard every day, eager to return to the capital one day and glorify his ancestors. However, the road to the imperial examination was bumpy, and he failed several times, which made him disheartened.
At this moment, a melodious sound of the piano came from not far away, washing the dust in Su Moxuan's heart like a clear spring. He followed the sound, through several winding corridors, and came to a small quiet courtyard. The peach blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom, the petals are dancing lightly in the wind, and a woman in a light green dress is sitting at the stone table, her fingers are plucking the guqin, and her face is as gentle as water, it is Liu Mengli.
Liu Mengli was born in a scholarly family, and has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Her father was an important minister in the court, but because he did not want to get involved in court disputes, he resigned and retired here, and the family lived a life without quarrels.
"Why did Childe stop here?" At the end of the song, Liu Mengli raised her head, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and asked softly.
Su Moxuan was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and arched his hand and said: "In Xia Su Moxuan, I occasionally heard the fairy sound, and I didn't feel intoxicated. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and since then they have formed an indissoluble bond. Liu Mengli was attracted by Su Moxuan's talent and tenacity, and Su Moxuan was also overwhelmed by Liu Mengli's gentleness and talent. They often enjoy tea and poetry together, playing games under the moon, although the days are dull, but full of poetry and warmth.
However, the good times did not last long, and Su Moxuan's uncle was furious when he learned of his relationship with Liu Mengli. In his opinion, although the Liu family has declined, after all, it was once a dignitary in the court, and it is not right to be from the same family, not to mention that Su Moxuan still needs to rely on the imperial examination to revitalize the family, how can he grow up in love with his children here?
Uncle's opposition was like a thunderbolt from the blue, putting Su Moxuan in a dilemma. He knew his uncle's hard work, but he couldn't let go of his deep affection for Liu Mengli. After Liu Mengli learned about this, instead of blaming Su Moxuan, she strengthened their relationship. She told Su Moxuan: "True love is rare, you don't have to care about the world's eyes." If you have a heart, I will be with you. ”
These words, like spring breeze and rain, warmed Su Moxuan's heart. He decided not to run away anymore and face everything bravely. He studied more diligently, and at the same time did not forget his care and companionship for Liu Mengli. The two supported each other and spent countless days and nights together.
Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Su Moxuan won the first place in the imperial examination the following year, and won the top prize in high school. When the news came, the entire Yanyu Alley was boiling, and people sent blessings to this talented and beautiful couple. However, Su Moxuan did not forget his original intention, he refused the rich rewards of the imperial court and the high-ranking officials, and only asked to return to the capital with Liu Mengli and ask the emperor for marriage.
When the emperor heard this, he was moved by their true feelings, and not only gave them marriage, but also gave them many rewards as a reward. Su Moxuan and Liu Mengli finally got married, and their story was also passed down among the people.
Years passed, and decades later, when Su Moxuan was already gray, he often sat in the study, holding a volume of ancient books, recalling the bits and pieces with Liu Mengli. He knows that the greatest luck in his life is to meet Liu Mengli, the good woman he has rarely met in his life. Her appearance not only filled his life with color and warmth, but also made him understand what true love is and what persistence is.
"Mengli, with you in this life, what more can you ask for?" Su Moxuan muttered softly, his eyes flashing with happiness.
At the end of the story, what is left to people is not only a beautiful love legend, but also a yearning and pursuit of true love. It tells us that in this complicated world, there is always such a person, which is worth waiting for, cherishing, and guarding. And she may be a good woman you will never meet in your life.
