The season is winter, and one afternoon, there is heavy snow on the goose feathers. When it was almost evening, Li Changgui from the Li family village walked out of the courtyard and then walked toward the firewood room next to the courtyard, where he was going to carry firewood. Li Changgui is a middle-aged bachelor, already 45 years old, he lives alone, his parents died when he was 20 years old. After Li Changgui walked into the firewood room, he suddenly found two strange women lying on the ground in the firewood room, looking like the two strange women were about 20 years old, and their bodies were a little dirty, much like beggars.
Li Changgui quickly asked the two women, "What are you?" How do you lie in my house? A woman dressed in yellow said: "We are foreigners, we fled to come here, we have no place to sleep at night, so we entered your family's firewood room, planning to sleep in your family's firewood room at night." Li Changgui heard that the accent of the woman in yellow was not local, he thought about it, and then said: "I am alone in my family, if you are not afraid of me, don't sleep in the firewood room, sleep in my hall house!" ”
After the woman in yellow and the woman in green discussed for a while, the woman in yellow said to Li Changgui: "Look at your appearance, like a good person, let's sleep in your house!" After the woman in yellow finished speaking, she got up from the ground with the woman in green. Next, Li Changgui lifted a bundle of firewood and then took the two women out of the firewood room. After they entered the courtyard, Li Changgui first put the firewood in the kitchen, and then took the two women to the hall house, and then he said to the two women: "I will go to the kitchen to cook, and you will wait for me in the hall house." ”
After Li Changgui cooked dinner, he served some meals to the hall, and then said to the two women: "I guess you are hungry, hurry up and eat!" The two women may have been hungry, and when they saw the meal, they devoured it immediately. After the two women finished eating, Li Changgui said to the two women, I will bring you two quilts, and you will sleep on the floor of the hall! Because I only have one bed in my house. After listening to Li Changgui's words, the two women expressed their gratitude to Li Changgui.
The next morning, Li Changgui said to the two women, "Don't leave, just live in my house!" I'm so older than you that I can't marry you as a wife, so you can be my righteous daughter!" After the two women discussed for a while, the woman in yellow said to Li Changgui, "Well, we live in your house and be your righteous daughter." Since then, the two women have lived in Li Changgui's house.
One morning, a matchmaker suddenly came to Li Changgui's house, and she said to Li Changgui: "Your two righteous daughters are not young, and I have come to match them today." After listening to the matchmaker's words, Li Changgui said: "My two righteous daughters told me that they will not marry in a few years, so you should go!" Don't come to my house in the future. ”
Time passed, unconsciously, 5 years passed. One morning, Li Changgui took two women to the town to buy something. When they reached the entrance of the town, they saw a group of people at the entrance of the town looking at the notice on the wall. Li Changgui was illiterate, and he said to the two women: "I don't know what the notice says? The woman in yellow said, "I'll go and have a look." After a while, the woman in yellow came back, and when she came back, she pulled the woman in green aside, and then the two of them muttered. After a short time, they walked to Li Changgui's face, and then the woman in yellow said to Li Changgui: "Father, we are going to the capital, you accompany us to the capital!" Li Changgui said, "What are you doing in the capital?" The woman in yellow said, "You will know when you go to the capital with us." Li Changgui thought for a moment and then said, "Well, I'll go to the capital with you." ”
The next morning, Li Changgui and the two women left Lijia Village and went to the capital. Two months later, they arrived in the capital. After they arrived in the capital, the two women took Li Changgui to the gate of the palace, and the woman in yellow clothes said to the guards at the gate of the palace: "I am a princess, let us enter quickly." However, several guards did not believe that she was a princess at all, and drove her and the woman in green and Li Changgui aside. Li Changgui said to the woman dressed in yellow: "Daughter, your courage is too great, you dare to pretend to be a princess, you must know that pretending to be a princess is going to be killed." ”
Suddenly, an old eunuch came out. The woman in yellow quickly shouted, "Prince." The old eunuch heard her cry and came over. After the old eunuch came over, he suddenly threw himself on his knees and said, "The old slave met the princess, and the princess quickly followed me into the palace." Then the old eunuch said to several guards, "One of you should hurry up and report to one of you, and say that the princess has returned." As soon as the old eunuch's voice fell, a guard ran toward the palace.
Li Changgui and two women followed the old eunuch into the palace not far away, and saw a group of people coming towards them, led by two middle-aged people dressed in gorgeous clothes, a man and a woman. After the two sides met, the middle-aged woman hugged the woman in yellow and cried bitterly. It turned out that the middle-aged woman was the empress, and the middle-aged man was the emperor.
Three days later, the emperor gave Li Changgui a luxurious mansion, 5 eunuchs and 10 palace maidens. What's going on here? Why did the princess go into exile? It turned out that 5 years ago, the rebels invaded the capital, and as a result, the princess escaped from the capital with her palace women, and after they escaped from the capital, they began to wander around. That afternoon, it snowed heavily, and they were cold and hungry, so they hid in the firewood room of Li Changgui's family. Later, they followed Li Changgui to the town to buy things, and at the entrance of the town, the woman dressed in yellow saw the notice that the emperor led a large army to attack the capital, eliminated the rebels entrenched in the capital, and re-ascended the throne. So, they took Li Changgui to the capital.
