Tan Zhonglin, an official of the late Qing Dynasty, not only had outstanding political achievements, but also was a well-known anti-aggression righteous soldier, such a highly respected political leader married an unknown Yahuan Li as a concubine, and the status of this Yahuan in Tan Zhonglin's heart should not be underestimated.
First, the tea bowl was broken, but Tan Zhonglin was moved by the Yahuan who had done something wrong
Tan Zhonglin and his concubine Li Shi first met by chance. At that time, Tan Zhonglin, the son of Shuxiang Mendi, met with friends to drink tea and write poems, during which Li Shi was the yahuan who added tea to Tan Zhonglin, which is also a coincidence. Tim Tea Room Li's hand trembled and accidentally broke a tea bowl, and in an instant the tea spilled on the guests, wetting the guests' clothes.
Such a mistake can be said to be reprimanded and dismissed, and if the next person makes such a low-level mistake, he will be even more frightened and trembling, and even more will kneel down and slap himself to ask for forgiveness, but Li Shi is just the opposite. She reacted quickly and hid behind the guest, hoping to get the host to forgive herself in the face of the guest.
Sure enough, Li Shi got what he wanted, and the master calmed down his anger and planned to settle the account afterwards. At this time, Tan Zhonglin in front of The Yahuan Li family paid attention to this woman, bending thin eyebrows, soft waist, Li Shi out of the eyebrows clear eye show, closed moon shy flowers. It wasn't until Li Shi and his party withdrew for a long time that Tan Fang returned to his senses, and these friends also saw in their eyes.
The so-called unintentional insertion of willows into the shade, Yahuan's slight move aroused Tan Zhonglin's curiosity, and he even fell in love with Li At a glance, and during the banquet, he asked his friend for this Yahuan who had made a big mistake at first acquaintance as a concubine. People felt that Yahuan had just made a big mistake, and it was useless to keep it, and seeing that Tan Zhonglin's soul had not been guarded since Li Shi's departure, he thought of achieving a marriage in Shunshui, so he agreed to this request.
So Tan Zhonglin took Li Shi home as a concubine, and everyone said that Li's carp jumped the dragon gate and the crow branches turned into phoenixes, but they did not know that Li s pessimistic fate had just begun.
Second, the persecution of feudal customs, the humble identity that the Li family could not get rid of
Li Entered the Tan Mansion and hurriedly became intimate with Tan Zhonglin, and the night of the cave flower candles and the occasional thought of Tan, Li's number of times he saw Tan Zhonglin was countless. Even more when Tan Zhonglin went out to engage in politics, Li Shi suffered a lot. Tan Zhonglin had a wife and a two-room concubine room before Na Li was a concubine, and since Li Shi came to Tan Mansion, he was sneered at by other concubines, and even more serious wives were deliberately targeted, and Li's early life can be described as being in the sea of swords and fire.
You know, under the feudal superstition system, women's lives are as thin as paper and worthless. Even if Yahuan became a concubine of a large family, she still could not change her lowly status, so Li Shi still had to eat with the next person.
And the Tan family is a famous feudal family, its family rules are even stricter, even every day when eating, li clan can not go to the table with the wives to eat, can only stand at the table, with the unworthy people to serve dishes and tea, waiting for the Tan family to eat, Li in the eyes of the Tan family is even more unbearable, is the fox essence that everyone spits on, will only seduce the old man by hue.
Li's humble origin, she knows that she can't get rid of it, and she doesn't pay attention to the malicious evaluations of others, just live her own cold life, do what she likes every day, take care of herself, live like a transparent person, do not argue about the land, and gradually be forgotten by the subordinates and other concubines.
Just when everyone forgot about Li Shi, Li Shi was pregnant.
Third, living deep in tan house, clever and clever to annoy Tan's mother
Tan Zhonglin, like everyone else, also forgot about the Li family who fell in love with Pingshui at first sight, but fortunately Tan Zhonglin was a filial piety and often went to visit the old lady. And the concubine who became a concubine waited for the old lady to eat every day, accompanied the old woman, and relieved the old woman, who really liked Li Shi. As a result, Lee often sees Tan Zhonglin.
Although Li Shi was born into poverty, he was clever and clever, well-behaved and sensible, and very popular with the old lady. It even coaxed Tan Zhonglin's mother to look like a child. The old lady's love for the Li clan was not diminished by her origin, but under the pressure of other concubines from the famous and prestigious family, it has not been exported, just when Tan Zhonglin's heirs are thin, so she always mentions the good of the Li clan to her son and urges her son to spoil the Li clan.
After a while, Lee became pregnant. But even so, she still had to eat and live with her next person. The next person ate in the miscellaneous house, and stood while eating, and had to serve soup to her husband and wife and other concubines. Identity has not broken through the shackles of feudalism, let alone compared with the master mother who is the master of the house. But Li Shi has no complaints, because of Tan's mother, Li Shi has less entanglements during pregnancy and is at ease with raising a fetus.
Pregnant in October, she was lucky to have a big fat boy. In the society of male superiority and female inferiority at that time, more emphasis was placed on motherhood and son-to-son, and the status of the Li clan had been slightly improved compared to the beginning, but eating, wearing, living and traveling were still no different from the next person.
Fourth, with foresight, godson parenting was finally praised
Li's son is very sensible and intelligent, he can see the face of the adult clearly, the son understands that the mother's birth is a big problem, the son gradually grows up, and understands the mother's family status. He vowed to get his mother to change this lowliness. Tan Zhonglin was very fond of his son, and personally taught his homework, so Li's son also worked hard to read, he read through the Four Books and Five Classics, and was familiar with astronomical geography, so that his mother could get rid of shame and raise her eyebrows.
13-year-old Zhongxiucai, 22-year-old Zhongren, 24-year-old Zhongjinshi, the Tan family was shocked, Tan Zhonglin and his mother were even happier, and they can also be regarded as Guangzong Yaozu and Rong returned to their hometown.
The son became famous, and the status of the mother Li clan also rose. When the news came, Tan Zhonglin took Li's hand and came to the table, "Mother of jinshi, it is gratifying and congratulatory, no one can look down on you in the future, you sit on the table to eat." "Li Shi calmly faced everything, the meal was not hurried, like a big girl, and the other concubines were eclipsed.
Li Shi lasted for several years, swallowing his anger, lying down and tasting his guts, and finally got the approval of Tan Zhonglin, which is probably the most beautiful love words, I love you, so I am willing to teach your son; I love you, so I endure all humiliation. Relying on his own efforts and wisdom, Li Shi approached her husband step by step, and finally got rid of the class discrimination of the feudal superstitious society and fought wits and courage in a large feudal family.
However, a woman endures all kinds of bullying and insults, teaches her son in a down-to-earth manner, has a long-term vision, and trains her son to become a talent. She relied on her own wisdom to get rid of her humble wisdom. She may have been inferior because of her status, but her son gave her the opportunity to sit and eat with the master of the house.
Li's life is not only due to her son's contention, but also because she swallows her anger and has foresight.
