As we all know, close relatives marry, which is a strange story that people dare not think of today. It not only violates morality and ethics, but also endangers the next generation of descendants.
However, in order to prevent outsiders from sharing family wealth, the ancients often chose to marry close relatives, not to mention the concept of "kissing and kissing", which was quite common in ancient times.
The protagonist to be introduced by Xiaobian today is not afraid of the outflow of family wealth, but because his sister has smallpox and no one wants it, he chooses to sacrifice his marriage and close relatives to get married. His name was Li Wen'an, a native of Hefei, Anhui Province, who at first glance sounded a bit unknown, but his son was a household name, Li Hongzhang, one of the powerful ministers of the late Qing Dynasty.
Everything has to start from Li Wen'an when he was a child. Li Wen'an was frail and sickly, and the other children began to enter the school at the age of 4, but he dragged it until the age of 8. Although the school was late, fortunately, Li Wen'an worked very hard, and even surpassed those children of the same age who flew first, Li Wen'an's father Li Dianhua saw it in his eyes, was happy in his heart, and felt that the Li family was finally going to have a good reader, and he took Li Wen'an with him wherever he went, and cultivated him well.
But as time went on, Li Dianhua suddenly became sad. The reason is not Li Wen'an's studies, but his emotional situation. It turned out that Xueba did not understand the affairs of men and women in any era, and although Li Wenan had a small achievement in learning, he had never had an object. The family's economic conditions are not rich, and there is no good family to introduce.
And Li Wen'an also has a younger sister, which his father Li Dianhua picked up in a broken temple when he was a child when he went up the mountain to collect medicine. At that time, the swaddled girl was infected with smallpox, and her life was hanging on the line, and Li Dianhua could not bear it and took the baby girl home.
It is said that this baby girl is also a big fate, and under the careful care of Li Dianhua, she actually survived. After that, Li Dianhua adopted her as an adopted daughter, and Li Wen'an became a green plum bamboo horse, taking over all the rough work of the Li family.
As the days passed, the girl also reached marriageable age, but because she worked in the world, she did not wrap her feet, plus she was an abandoned baby, and when she was a child, smallpox still had pockmarks on her face, and no one came to kiss.
Li Wen'an is also distressed about his sister, and has wanted to marry her many times, but he has not dared to say his heart because of his affection. Until one time Li Wen'an returned late and saw his sister asleep by the stove because of fatigue, he took off his coat and covered her. This move was seen by his father Li Dianhua, and he suddenly realized that he quickly arranged a family affair for the two of them.
Although the two are not biological siblings, they are not close relatives. But the older brothers and sisters have been calling for so many years, and they want to change their mouths to be called husband and wife, or they have been ridiculed by their neighbors for a long time. But this does not affect the love between the two, after marriage Li Wen'an and his sister lived quite happily, and the sister also gave birth to 6 sons and 2 daughters for him.
In addition, the younger sister also had a high Wangfu luck, after becoming a relative, Li Wen'an's career was frank, not only was admitted to the third place of the palace examination, but also became the imperial history of the imperial court. People can't help but sigh that when Li Dianhua saved babies in the broken temple, it was actually the heavens who gave guidance to the departed home in the broken temple.
The sister's education of her children is also a very set, after her careful cultivation, the sons are more prominent than one, especially Li Hongzhang, not only the four famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, but also by the Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi as "the only person in the Qing Empire who has the ability to compete with the world powers", and the German Minister of the Navy, Conrad, called him "Bismarck of the East". It is one of the few figures in modern China who can be famous at the epicenter. Of course, all this, the beginning of all this, is still the smallpox that Li Wen'an's sister got that year.
