During the Ming Dynasty, there was an old man zhang tianshun in Zhangjiazhuang, Yangzhou County, and Zhang Laohan and his wife had a daughter Zhang Yingying under their knees, who was not only beautiful, but also smart and diligent, and saw that Zhang Yingying had reached the age of marriage, and this door-to-door courtship was about to step on the threshold of the Zhang family, but Zhang Laohan did not agree to a single one, and the old couple was bent on marrying their daughter to a rich and powerful family.
This morning Yingying was sweeping the floor at the door, suddenly a young scholar passed in front of the door and went straight to the school in the west of the village, Yingying did not feel that she took a look, only to see that the young scholar looked dignified, with her own elegant temperament, Yin Yin's heart was suddenly slammed by something, and her face was already a crimson red.
After that, Yin Yin waited at the door early every morning, pretending to sweep the floor, just to see the student, but never dared to come forward to talk. Coincidentally, this day Yin Yin was washing clothes by the river, the scholar had just come out of the private school, when he walked to the door of the Zhang family, he was in a hurry, dropped a brush, Yin Yin happened to see it, hurriedly picked up the brush, and was about to call out to the student, but he had already gone far.
Early the next morning, when the scholar passed by the door, Yin Yin went forward to return the brush, the student thanked himself, the two exchanged names, and Yin Yin learned that the student's name was Ji Jiajun, and his family lived in Jijiazhuang, three miles away.
Since then, Zhang Yingying has been waiting at the door of the house every morning for Ji Gongzi to pass by, after greeting each other, Ji Gongzi went to the private school to study, Yin Yin returned to the house, and after a long time, the two young people secretly had feelings for each other, and there was already each other in their hearts, but no one said anything.
On this day, Zhang Laohan had something to do and went out, Zhang Mother went to relatives, Yin Yin sat alone at home bored, so she picked up the oar and the lotus hook and went down to the river to pick lotuses. Yin Yin rowed the lotus boat slowly forward along the small river, near some lotus ponchos along the river, yin Yin although sitting on the boat, eyes were anxiously staring at the shore to see, sure enough, after a while Ji Jiajun came over, Yin Yin shouted from afar, Ji Gongzi quickly got on the boat, Ji Jiajun saw that it was Yin Yin who was very surprised, and rushed to Yin Yin's boat.
Yin Yin rowed the boat into the lotus leaf bush in the river bay, took out the lotus seeds that had just been picked and asked Ji Gongzi to taste, the two looked at each other, speechless for a long time, but their hearts were already drumming. Seeing that the sunset was sinking, the sky was not early, Yin Yin finally plucked up enough courage to confide in Ji Gongzi, Ji Jiajun listened to it, ecstatic, he had already fallen in love with Yin Yin, today Yin Yin took the initiative to reveal his heart, how not to make him happy, but soon Ji JiaJun sighed, my family is poor, only afraid that your parents will not allow it.
Yin Yin returned, the son does not have to worry, my parents have their own opinions, as long as the prince is sincere to me, I will be satisfied.
It will be late, the two have to rely on the farewell, before parting agreed, August sixteen seasons of the prince must come to the door to propose to kiss, Yin Yin knows that ji Gongzi's family is poor, repeatedly advised, do not want any dowry, as long as the prince a personal object can be, Ji Jiajun heard that he was moved, the folding fan he carried with him to Yin Yin, Yin Yin took off the silk scarf around his waist to give to Ji Gongzi, and then gave him the lotus seeds picked, asked him to take it home to his mother to taste, after the two of them were separated.
Yin Yin just returned home, she heard someone in the hall talking, entered the door to see, it turned out that Shen Mediabo, who lived diagonally opposite, was talking to her mother, and when her mother saw Yin Yin come back, she told her to look after the door, she wanted to go out for a while, Yin Yin nodded and said yes, and then went back to her boudoir.
This Shen Matchmaker came this time, not for anything else, it was for Yin Yin to do matchmaking, the man is Wu Jucai who opened a pawnshop in the town, Shen Matchmaker led Zhang Mother to Wu Jucai's home, Wu Jucai was already waiting at the door, saw Zhang Mother's arrival, and hurriedly grabbed a foot to welcome him into the house.
Zhang Mu entered the house to see, this Wu family is three in and three out of the big mansion is spacious and grand, the home furnishings are exquisite to make slaves call, the life is quite moist, Zhang Mother is very satisfied with this. Wu Jucai came with a sweet mouth, coaxing Zhang Mu to be full of joy, Shen Mediawo was a strong person to paste gold on Wu Jucai's face, Zhang Mu was even more happy to hear it, and when she was happy, she responded to this family affair, and when she was leaving, Wu Jucai sent Shen Jucai ten taels of silver as a thank you, and sent Zhang Mu a piece of silk as a meeting gift, the two of them accepted it with joy, and agreed with him to let him come to the door on August 16 to propose to him, Wu Jucai promised with his mouth, and sent the two out of the gate.
Mother Zhang returned home and told Yin Yin about this family affair, and Yin Yin was stunned at first, wanting to tell her and Ji Jiajun about her relationship, thinking about it again, or wait until August 16.
The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Zhang Laohan rushed back from the field early in the morning, and when he saw Yin Yin, he laughed. Mother Zhang asked, what is so happy? Zhang Laohan proudly said that he had booked a family affair for his daughter, and Zhang's mother asked who it was? Zhang Laohan returned, it was Wang Fugui, the son of the rich man Wang Family in Xixiang, Zhang Mu and Yin Yin listened to it, they were shocked, and they secretly cried bitterly in their hearts, it was broken and broken, and tomorrow there is a good drama to be seen in the family.
In the blink of an eye, on August 16, wang Fugui of Xixiang lived farther away, and rushed to Zhangjiazhuang early in the morning with servants and gifts. When walking to a three-forked intersection, a person on the path to the south came to meet him, and it was Wu Jucai who came with his head down, he rushed with his head down, did not pay attention to Wang Fugui riding a horse, cold and was knocked to the ground, Wang Fugui hurriedly got off his horse to apologize, after the two greeted each other, they learned that they were all going to ask for relatives, and then inquired, they were still going to Zhangjiazhuang to ask for relatives, they were a little more close, so they went together.
Walking into Zhangjiazhuang, I found the gate of Zhang Laohan's house, Wang Fugui tied up his horse, and Wu Jucai was waiting on the side, just at this time he saw a young scholar knocking on the door, it was Ji Jiajun. After a while, Yin Yin came out from inside and warmly greeted Ji Gongzi, Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai were quite displeased when they saw it.
Yin Yin invited Ji Gongzi into the house, and Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai also followed in, explaining their intentions to Yin Yin, but Yin Yin did not look at them squarely and led Ji Gongzi to the courtyard.
The two were whispering, just at such a time, suddenly the house was loud and noisy, Yin Yin and Ji Jiajun rushed to the house, only to see Zhang Laohan pullIng Wang Fugui, saying that this is the son-in-law I chose for my daughter, and I am the master of the family! Mother Zhang did not want to show weakness, pulled Wu Jucai, the daughter is born to me, I let the daughter marry whoever she marries, I have the final say! The two of them blushed and quarreled!
Yin Yin pulled Ji Gongzi to see his father-in-law, saying that this is your son-in-law, Zhang Laohan Zhang Mother hurriedly retreated to the side, refusing to accept his prostrations, Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai saw it, and they were very confused in their hearts, who is the son-in-law of this Zhang family?
Yin Yin helped Ji Gongzi up and asked her parents to speak clearly in front of everyone. Wang Fugui asked Zhang Laohan Yinyin which of his daughters was? Wu Jucai asked Mother Zhang, how many daughters do you have in your family?
When the Parents of the Zhang family saw the situation, they knew that they could no longer hide it, so they had to tell the truth. When Wang Fugui heard the fire and jumping on his feet and making a big fuss, Wu Jucai rushed over to beat Ji Jiajun, and was drunk by Yin Yin! Zhang Laohan persuaded Wang Fugui and pointed out Ji Jiajun, my daughter will never marry you such a poor and sour talent, Yin Yin protects Ji Gongzi, I have already decided, unless he does not marry! Saying that, he pulled up Ji Gongzi and walked toward the room.
Zhang Laohan just wanted to have a seizure, here Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai have been quarreling together, both forcing each other to withdraw from marriage, the Parents of the Zhang family are irritable when they see the situation, accusing each other of acting arbitrarily and arbitrarily without prior consultation, thus causing trouble!
Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai did not give in to each other, in order to show that they had money, they asked the servants to pick up the dowry to open the competition, and in a flash, jewelry, cloth, tea, spices, ---- pieces of dowry were placed in the hall, and the two of them stopped me, and the dowry was scattered on the ground.
After making a fuss for half a day without any results, Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai angrily walked out of the Zhang family and went straight to the county court and sued the Parents of the Zhang family. The county official, surnamed Hu Mingtu, immediately went to court for interrogation, and both of them scrambled to say that they were plaintiffs. The county order slammed the shocked hall wood, boldly killed the people, a case, there are two plaintiffs reason, you are clearly playing the old man!
After half a day of chaos, Wang Fugui said that he was suing Zhang Laohan, Wu Jucai said that he was suing Zhang Mu, and the county ordered the official to go to Zhangjia to mention people.
The official came to mention the Zhang family and his wife, zhang Laohan held Ji Jiajun and Yin Yin worried about Ji Gongzi, so the whole family was taken to the court.
Seeing that Ji Jiajun was taken away, Wu Jucai and Wang Fugui both accused him of seducing the women of the good family and asking the county officials to severely punish them! Without waiting for the county order to speak, Yin Yin immediately stood up to defend Ji Gongzi, I and Ji Gongzi were in agreement and wishful thinking, how to seduce a talk!
Hu Xian ling saw that Yin Yin was so bold that he dared to defend Ji Jiajun, and he couldn't help but get angry, good you woman, even shameless, dared to disobey her parents' orders, and privately decided for life!
Yin Yin is also not willing to show weakness, immediately turned her lips to ridicule, what is wrong with wishful thinking, is it not consensual with mrs. county ling and you! A word choked the county order dumb!
Zhang Laohan insisted on promising his daughter to Wang Fugui, and Zhang's mother wanted to marry her daughter to Wu Jucai, without discussion! There was a clamor in the public hall, and Hu Xianling's eyes were staring at the group in a hurry.
Hu Xianling is a stupid worm, the county official's wife is a smart person, she heard the public hall noisy, she took YaHuan to visit, has long been hiding behind the screen to hear clearly, suddenly have an idea in her heart, she asked Yahuan to clap her hands and summon the old man to the back hall, she has her own arrangements.
Hu Xianling heard the applause as if he saw a savior, and slammed the shocked hall wood, this case is complicated, Er waited for the time being, and then retried at the right time, retired from the church!
Hu Xianling arrived at the back hall and complained to his wife with a sad face, this housework account is difficult to handle! Madame smiled and said that she already had a magic way to resolve it, summoned YaHuan to invite the official, explained it like this, and taught the county order again, but remembered it. Hu Xianling listened to the resignation and nodded, Madame's brilliant plan, wonderful plan, I wrote it down, and said that I would go to the public hall with the official mission.
Hu Xian ling sat in the public court full of spirits, come on, bring up Zhang Yingying! Zhang Yingying was taken to, Hu Xianling took a big pat on the wood, good you Zhang Yingying, dare to hide from her parents, privately set for life, come on, give me forty big boards!
The left and right servants couldn't help but say that Zhang Yingying was dragged to the back hall, Ji Jiajun saw the situation and hurriedly knelt down to plead, the Parents of the Zhang family also hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, and Hu Xianling was angry and ignored it!
After a while, the sound of the board beating and Yin Yin's wailing and crying came from the back hall, Ji Jiajun and the Zhang family's parents were anxiously sweating and turning in circles, hu Xianling peeked at Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai, the two of them were like nothing to do.
Suddenly Yin Yin's crying stopped, Ya Gong panicked and Ran out, Lord, things are not good, Zhang Yingying her, she ---- Hu Xianling scared and shouted, stupid, Zhang Yingying What is wrong with her? Zhang Yingying couldn't stand the board and was beaten to death! Wow, Hu Xianling shouted in anger, and the parents of the Zhang family were about to fall when they heard that it was dark in front of them, and they rushed into the back hall and were stopped by Ya Gong.
Ji Jiajun's chest and lungs exploded, pointing at Hu Xianling, good you are a confused official, abuse punishment, return me Yin Yin, return me Yin Yin! This, this, Hu Xianling slumped in a chair, anxious to move his facial features, unable to say a word for half a day.
In the middle of the night, Hu Xianling recovered and called Wang Fugui, Wu Jucai, and Ji Jiajun to the front, and now that the Yin yin girl has died, since you all love Yin Yin, who is now to collect the funeral for her, and to keep filial piety for three years, not to marry!
Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai were stunned when they heard the strike, and they even waved their hands, this matter has nothing to do with us, Ji Jiajun gave up to the front, Xiaosheng was willing to collect the funeral for Yin Yin, and keep filial piety for three years!
Hu Xianling asked in a loud voice, you should think carefully, Hugh must repent! Ji Jiajun zhengse returned, Yin Yin is still my wife even if she dies, Mo said that keeping filial piety for three years, that is, not marrying for life, Xiaosheng will never regret it!
Hu Xianling listened, nodded his head, let Ji Jiajun go forward to tie the knot, and then let Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai come forward to tie the knot, and after the verdict was announced, Ji Jiajun took Yin Yin's body home and buried it, Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai each produced five hundred taels of silver as funeral expenses, and the three of them nodded and said yes, Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai scattered separately.
Ji Jiajun cried and ran to the back hall to collect the body, the Parents of the Zhang family also cried and followed in, Wu Jucai and Wang Fugui secretly laughed that Ji Jiajun was a nerd, and went away!
Ji Jiajun came to the back hall, only to see Yin Yin sitting on a chair with a smile and squinting, standing still when she boarded, and the Parents of the Zhang family were also stunned. Yin Yin stepped forward and pulled Ji Gongzi, what are you still stunned about, and you are not happy to thank the county ling lord and the county ling lady! Ji Jiajun suddenly realized, hurried to prostrate, thank you county official, thank you county ling lady to complete the small life! Mrs. County Ling hurriedly picked up Ji Jiajun, as long as you treat Yin Yin sincerely, you will not waste our kindness! Then he turned to Zhang Laohan and said, Yin Yin married such a loving and righteous husband, what are you not satisfied with? Zhang Laohan was full of shame, busy saying that he blamed himself for his cloudy eyes, blinded by money, and almost caused a catastrophe, ruining the happiness of his daughter's life, and he would definitely treat his son-in-law kindly in the future. Ji Jiajun joined hands with Yin Yin and the Zhang family's parents to bid farewell to the county Ling couple, and then walked out of the county court.
Wang Fugui and Wu Jucai had just walked out of the county court on their front feet, when they heard a burst of laughter behind them, and when they looked back, Ji Jiajun and Zhang Yingying walked out holding hands and laughing, and only then did they realize that they had been deceived, and they rushed back to grab the county order, loudly reprimanded, the verdict was unfair, and they wanted to retry! Hu Xianling narrowed his eyes, took out the affidavit, and boldly killed the people, this is the affidavit signed by your own hands, dare to repent, do you want to be on the board! The two listened and fled in fright. Hu Xianling handed over a thousand taels of silver to Ji Jiajun, this official reads that your family is poor, life is not easy, this silver two you take back, and yin yin girl to start a family to live a good life, Ji Jiajun took the silver, touched by gratitude zero, hand in hand Yin yin and zhang family parents are satisfied.
