Li Yi was the widow of Jia Zhu, the late eldest son of Rong Guofu, and Jia Lan's mother.
Li Feng is not the only widow in Jia Fuli, but she is the most conspicuous, in a sense, the most "beautiful". She was born noble, was the daughter of the Guozi Supervisor, married to Jia Province, and Jia Zhu can also be regarded as a door-to-door pair, zhu lianyuhe, but the sudden death of Jia Zhu, so that she has no possibility of happiness in the second half of her life. According to feudal etiquette, Li Feng lived himself as a walking archway, which was respected and respected by the people of Jia Province, especially the maintenance and love of Jia Mu.
And Ping'er is the close-fitting ring that Wang Xifeng brought from her mother's house, the left arm and the right arm, and also Jia Lian's roommate. Sandwiched between this couple, Ping'er also lived very hard. But she is not only at ease, but also because of her outstanding ability and extremely high double business, she is recognized and respected by Jia Fu from top to bottom.
These two people did not have much intersection. Li Yi usually doesn't have much to do, that is, he leads a group of sisters-in-law to play, do needlework, and take care of their lives, which is really idle. And Ping'er is a very busy person, saddle up before and after following Feng Jie'er' side, there is no time of his own.
However, Li Feng did not have much deep affection for the sisters-in-law, nor did he see who she could talk to in particular. Sometimes dealing with Feng Jie, laughing, but it is a look of a friend. Whether it is the faint relationship with the sisters-in-law or the fight with Sister Feng, what Li Feng shows is the boring and boring life of a rich widow, and under the face that does not have too many expressions, I don't know what is in the end. But Ping'er, as a yahuan, was valued by Li Feng, and even revealed extremely rare feelings! This is unbelievable.
Yes, Li Yi rarely reveals his mood and feelings. She has no sense of presence in Jia Province, living a vague and deserted life. This is the invisible bondage of ancient society to a widow, and Li Feng, who grew up in a strict family of etiquette, always obeys the requirements and expectations of society and the family for widows. Since she was unemployed and there was no light in her life, she cooperated with fate without complaint, delivered her enthusiasm, and closed her heart in her youth. Don't say that she is looking for her own happiness again, even if it is makeup, it is a luxury for her. All the hopes of her life were placed on the young Jalan.
Even in her own home, she did not play or make trouble, and all the relatives from her family were stayed. She is like a bodhisattva, not much trouble, low-key, but also a lot less grounded joy.
She has a very clear attitude towards Ping'er, admiring, liking, and enthusiastic. This kind of feeling has nothing to do with identity, after all, Li Feng is not even in the eyes of Sister Feng, and even says in public that Sister Feng'er is not, and Sister Feng does not bother with her. But when it comes to Ping'er, Li Yi is full of praise, exaggerating Ping'er to the heavens and nothing on the earth.
It's not just ping'er's ability to be outstanding, he is used to acting, right? Although Ping'er is excellent, Jia Fu also has no shortage of excellent big girls, and there are more talented and beautiful ladies. But why did Li Feng become a die-hard fan of Ping'er?
When the crab feast was held in Lotus Champs, Li Feng insisted on pulling Ping'er, leaving Ping'er to eat wine and crabs, here, Li Feng's enthusiasm for Ping'er was simply different from ordinary people. Not only was he graciously invited, but he also praised Ping'er in public, "It's a pity that such a good and decent person, but his life is ordinary, and he only ends up in the house." People who don't know, who doesn't look at you as Grandma's wife? Such a praise for a ya ring, is also unique, especially the latter sentence, there is really no light and heavy, where is like the usual low-key, self-protection Of Li Feng said the words? Perhaps because he drank wine, so through the wine, Li Feng also let go and revealed the most authentic feelings.
And more exaggerated in the back, Li Yi actually touched Ping'er's body, and when she touched a key, she had another word of praise, describing Ping'er as the master key of Fengjie. This also leads to the evaluation of several big girls in other houses.
When Ping'er said that there were four Yahuan in the beginning, and finally only one of himself was left, Li Feng sighed again, saying that when Jia Zhu was there, there were also two people, and after Jia Zhu left, they were not satisfied every day, and they were sent away while they were young. If there is a good one to hold, there is also an arm in the end. As he spoke, Li Feng's eye circles turned red. It was something she was rare to get, revealing her inner emotions. But by everyone's sentence, why should this be sad, it is better to scatter and pour a good end to a faint end. Who cares about Li Feng's heart, and who will be willing to listen? The loneliness and desolation in Li Feng's heart are even more visible.
Li Feng's kindness to Ping'er is, in a sense, unwilling. When she touched the key on Ping'er's body, she was lost, originally, the position of Rong Guofu's housekeeper grandmother belonged to her, and she was the rightful person. However, with the early death of Jia Zhu, all this had nothing to do with her. Since then, she has been marginalized, watching Sister Feng hug forward and backward, and the scenery is infinite. And she can only raise her young son silently, and then accompany her sister-in-law. She couldn't tell her son about her thoughts, and the sisters-in-law wouldn't understand it, and they didn't want to understand it.
Li Feng is also very envious of Sister Feng, there is such a good ring, not only can share a lot of things, but also people talk, accompany, warm and lively.
And Li Yi admired Ping'er's loyalty even more. We all know what Jia Lian and his wife look like, they can survive among them, and they can mix with each other, this is Ping'er's ability, but no matter how Fengjie pinches Ping'er, Ping'er is always loyal to her, only Fengjie is the head of the horse, and people before and after protect Fengjie. Li Feng did not have such a ring, when Jia Zhu died, there were also two people in the house, but what was their situation? I don't feel comfortable every day. Such a person is better off staying around than living by himself. Li Feng sent them away, but she hoped that someone could voluntarily stay, solve her problems, and spend the rest of her life with her.
Li Feng had a sense of confidant to Ping'er, who was also a fallen person in the end of the world. Although their identities are very different, in fact, their situation is also similar, and in their hearts, they are also very bitter. Li Yi was young and widowed, and why wasn't Ping'er like this? Ping'er is a widow, Li Yi has a son to rely on, Ping'er is even close to Jia Lian is very rare, and with FengJie's temper, it is impossible for her to give birth to a son and a half daughter. The more Li Feng knew about Sister Feng, the more he felt that Ping'er was not worth it.
Although Li Feng is always plain and low-key, but this is just a kind of helplessness, as a widow, she can only be pure-hearted and be a humble honest person. But this is only the appearance, she is not really the ash of the wood, she has a wealth of emotions, but also has no less than the enthusiasm of the girls. Living in Daoxiang Village, where apricot blossoms are luxuriant, he actively started a poetry club, saw the plum blossoms in Li Cui'an blooming well, and wanted to get a branch to play with. And her good feelings for Ping'er can also explain this. It's just that she is in this gentle and rich township of Jia Province, but she no longer has a beautiful dream. People are full of calculations and intrigues, she can't find someone who can empathize, and she sees her own shadow in Ping'er, and because of Ping'er's goodness, she pities her more and more.
At the time when Ping'er was beaten, Li Yizhi was upset with Ping'er. Ping'er cried bitterly, and Li Yi and others pulled her into the Grand View Garden and let her rest in her house for the night. Until later, Li Yi led the sisters-in-law to start a poetry club, looking for Feng Jie to get money, and the joke not only counted Feng Jie down, but also mentioned the old things, and said that she and Ping'er should change a child. Sister Feng did not bother with her, after all, Sister Feng had all the face in it.
Li Yi regards Ping'er as a fallen person at the end of the world, what is Ping'er's attitude?
Ping'er rarely revealed deeper feelings. Even if Li Feng said that he wanted to take the breath for her, Ping'er replied that the grandmothers made fun of her, and I couldn't help it. Except for some gaffes after being beaten, the rest of the time, Ping'er is always so peaceful and decent, never complaining, and there is no bad word.
In Ping'er's consciousness, what identity she is, it is very clear, even if Li Feng has feelings for her beyond class, but Ping'er is very knowledgeable, talks about rules everywhere, and will not respond to Li Feng more.
Doesn't Ping'er feel that her life is miserable? Not really, but what else could she do but confess her fate? Once awakened, it will only feel more sad. Li Feng has been a golden honor and jade noble since childhood, but Ping'er has been a yahuan since she was a child, even if she loses her husband, Li Feng can also have no worries about food and clothing, and the second half of her life is guaranteed, under the premise of no shortage of materials, what she pursues naturally has spiritual things. And these, for Ping'er, are luxuries.
Li Yi's life is bitter, Ping'er's life is even more bitter, Li Yi pitied Ping'er, and also lamented her fate, she has never been really numb, but what can she do? The more awake you are, the more painful it is.
