During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Zhujia village attached to the river, and there was a girl named Zhu Caixia.
Caixia girl as her name suggests, looks like a closed moon shy flowers sinking fish and falling geese, as if the early morning Caixia is bright and dazzling, and this Zhu Caixia is not only beautiful in appearance but also skillful in mind, is a famous talented woman in eight villages in ten miles.
Such a talented and beautiful strange woman, there are many people who come to ask for marriage, but they are all rejected by Cai Xia's father.
It turned out that Cai Xia had no mother since childhood, and Cai Xia's father was a father and a mother who pulled Cai Xia up, so in Cai Xia's marriage, Cai Xia's father was very sad, and even he had a small abacus, that is, to recruit a son-in-law for Cai Xia, so as not to let the Zhu family break the incense.
Cai Xia's father has been working for the family for all these years, with the growth of Cai Xia, Cai Xia's father's health has deteriorated, and he can't do heavy work at home, which has strengthened Cai Xia's father's heart to find a son-in-law.
Cai Xia gradually grew up, and her aunt learned a good embroidery, and because of her ingenuity, she created a lot of tricks, and gradually came to bid for Cai Xia's embroidery.
Large families also often come to let Cai Xia do embroidery, and gradually Cai Xia can also support the family, accumulating some silver two.
Cai Xia is a filial piety child, no matter where she goes to make embroidery, she will bring some food for her father when she returns to nourish her body.
Cai Xia's father saw that Cai Xia was out of such a water spirit, and it was time to reach the age of kissing, so he planned a family affair for Cai Xia.
It turned out that Cai Xia's father had fallen in love with Wang Kui, the cousin of Cai Xia's aunt's family, and Wang Kui looked five years old and three thick, and was very strong.
On this day, Cai Xia's father called Cai Xia to the bed and said to Cai Xia: Girlfriend, what happened to you and Wang Kui that I told you?
Cai Xia returned: Dad, I have always treated him like a brother, I don't like this, I can't marry him.
Zhu Laohan said: No, you will marry Wang Kui, he will definitely treat us well wholeheartedly, and he has the strength to support our family.
Cai Xia said: Father, I can now support our family, I have no feelings for Wang Kui's cousin, you have to ask him to come to our house, I am not willing, this will not only harm my cousin, but also ruin the family relationship between us and my aunt.
As soon as Zhu Laohan heard it, he immediately became anxious, the previous Cai Xia was well-behaved and obedient, but did not want to be in this matter, Cai Xia and Zhu Lao Han resisted their mouths, and the old Man angrily said: You... You have grown up, your wings are hardened, you have a breath, and you dare not listen to your father's words!
Cai Xia was angry when she saw her father and hurriedly exited the room, and since then, the father and daughter have always been angry about this.
On this day, the big families in the city asked Cai Xia to embroider a wedding dress for the young lady who was going to get married.
Cai Xia packed her bags, said hello to her father and went, this trip lasted for more than a month, only to finish the embroidery that should be prepared, received the salary to go home, in order to queue up for her father to buy donkey meat that she loved to eat, and when she went home again, it was dark.
Cai Xia walked home while thinking about how to talk to her father when she went home, so that he could dispel his affair with Wang Kui, this wandering mind, did not pay attention to his feet, stepped on the air, fell down the hillside, and when Cai Xia woke up, she found herself lying in a thatched hut.
A young scholar was bandaging the wound on her head, and Cai Xia asked: Where am I? Shusheng replied: This is my home, I saw you faint near my house, I carried you back, you are injured, you have to rest for a while.
Cai Xia said busily: Thank you Gongzi for his rescue grace.
Cai Xia learned during the recuperation time in the hut that this scholar's name was Liu Qing, his parents had died, and he made a living by writing letters to others, and he studied diligently in this quiet place, hoping to obtain a meritorious name.
Cai Xia saw that Liu Qing was so motivated, she felt admiration, Liu Qing saw that Cai Xia was so beautiful and talented, and she was also moved, Cai Xia informed Liu Qing of the situation at home, asked Liu Qing if she could enter the Zhu family, Liu Qing had no objection, Cai Xia was very happy, and when the injury was slightly better, she had to return home to discuss the matter with her father.
When Zhu Laohan heard what Cai Xia said, his heart was very annoyed, and he immediately picked up the duster and smoked it on Cai Xia's body, while smoking it, he said: You shameless, you have decided to live forever, let me have the face to see your aunt again.
Cai Xia didn't dodge either, and Ren Zhu Laohan hit him!
At this time, Aunt Cai Xia just came to visit their father and daughter, and when she saw this scene, she said: Brother, Mo Da, that is, Cai Xia cannot become my daughter-in-law, we are still a family.
Zhu Laohan couldn't, seeing his sister say so, he could only throw the duster fiercely, turn his head and shed tears.
Not long after, Cai Xia and Liu Qing became relatives, the two young couples are very affectionate, Cai Xia single-mindedly assisted Liu Qing to get a meritorious name, she was reluctant to let Liu Qing go to the stall to sell words, relying on her embroidery can also provide for his family, let Liu Qing take care of Zhu Laohan at home, and concentrate on studying.
Zhu Laohan was already reluctant to let this Liu Qing enter the family, and now that he still needed his daughter to go out to earn money to subsidize the family, he thought: If Wang Kui came to my house, he would be able to support the portal and not need Cai Xia to work.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and The longer he scolded Liu Qing.
Liu Qing was kind in heart, thinking that The old Zhu Han people had a big temper, never took these things to heart, and never told Cai Xia about Zhu Lao Han's scolding of him, for fear of affecting the feelings of their father and daughter.
A flash of two years passed, Zhu Laohan was very angry to see that Cai xia had not been pregnant, and he had a bad attitude towards Liu Qing, often blaming Liu Qing, because Cai Xia was too hard to get pregnant, and even doubted whether Liu Qing was sick and could not help them to pass on the Zhu family.
On this day, Cai Xia went to the city again to help people embroider, Liu Qing finished reading, prepared a meal for Zhu Laohan and brought it to the house, waiting for him to eat, but did not want to, Zhu Laohan flipped over the table and scolded Liu Qing: You are useless to eat soft rice, you still have to rely on my daughter to provide for you, but also for my Zhu family can not add a son and a half daughter, what a man.
After saying that, he grabbed the teapot in his hand and threw it at Liu Qing.
Suddenly, a pair of hands caught the teapot and did not let the teapot fall on Liu Qing's head!
A white-bearded old man broke into the house and said: Old Man Zhu, you don't have to scold Liu Qing again, you have such a good aunt who doesn't know how to cherish, he will bring blessings to your Zhu family in the future, I really can't look at it anymore.
Zhu Laohan said: What a blessing, what a good aunt, he has been coming to my house for two years, and he has not added a son and a half daughter to my Zhu family.
The white-bearded old man said: Liu Qing came to your house for two years, your family is safe and secure, your illness is getting better and better under his service, you beat and scolded him, he never complained, he is a student, he should focus on reading, and when the time comes, he will be able to go to high school.
The old man also said: Entering your family for two years without bringing children, that is because you have lost your yin morality, thinking that when you were young, you were stubborn, and you killed a small white-flowered snake, that little snake is not a mortal thing, the next mortal robbery, do not want to die at your hands, resentment in your heart, how can you let you have descendants, if it were not for this Liu Qing's kindness, the good deeds done in the previous life, and now that you have entered your family as a son-in-law, I am afraid that you are no longer in this world.
When Zhu Laohan listened, he was suddenly full of sweat, thinking that he really did this when he was young, married his daughter-in-law and had difficulty giving birth, leaving only one daughter, and then he couldn't afford to be sick, and it was really what the old man said, hurriedly prostrating his head, and his mouth praised one after another: You are really a god, how do you know everything, then what should I do?
The old man said, "I am the mountain god of this place, how can I not know what you have done, your family is blessed by your son-in-law, and in the future you must not scold your son-in-law again, but at the same time you must do good deeds and accumulate virtue, eat and pray to the Buddha, and accumulate virtue for your daughter and son-in-law, and your family will surely prosper."
Without saying a word, as soon as the old man of the mountain god turned around, he disappeared.
After that, Zhu Laohan changed his temper and personality, no longer scolded Liu Qing, ate and prayed to the Buddha every day, prayed for Liu Qingcaixia and his wife to pray for blessings and chanting, as the old saying goes, home and everything is happy, since zhu Laohan changed his nature, the life of the Zhu family is getting more and more smooth.
When the second year of the imperial examination, Liu Qing took the exam, in one fell swoop, he was also favored by the imperial palace examination, the position of Hanlin bachelor, who expected good things to become a pair, Cai Xia also had news here, and gave birth to a pair of big fat boys in the next year.
Liu Qing established a firm foothold in the capital, so he took the Cai Xia family to the capital, and When Zhu Laohan saw that his aunt was so powerful, he also made cai Xia not abandon him, and he was also polite to him, and he felt even more ashamed, so he was more devoted to kindness and prayed for the blessing of the family.
Since then, the Cai xia family has been harmonious and harmonious, happy and harmonious, and lived a happy life.
