Marriage is one of the most important things in a person's life, the whole process can not be sloppy, if something goes wrong, it is a lifelong thing. However, during the Qing Dynasty, a "change of marriage" happened.
A rich lady is reluctant to marry a poor student and let her own maid replace her, so that 20 years later, she reunites and says to her, "You ruined the happiness of my life." So, what kind of story is this? Let's talk today.
Poor people and rich people
During the Qing Dynasty, there was a man named Tao Shu, who was originally the son of a local farmer, and although the family had been brilliant, it was later lost. However, the difficulties did not crush Tao Shu's ambitions, and he was determined to revive his family through the imperial examination.
In this way, Tao Shu began to study hard from an early age, and later he was admitted to the show to be a famous prodigy and talent in the local area. Unfortunately, when he passed the examination of people, he could not pass anything, and Xiu Cai could be described as missing a millimeter and a thousand miles of error.
Tao Shu has been defeated many times, but has been defeated repeatedly, and it is worth mentioning that his story has made the local Huang Yuanwai very interested, and he is also considered by Huang Yuanwai to be a self-motivated and unlimited young man.
As the saying goes: "Men should marry, women should marry", Huang Yuanwai just happened to have a daughter named Huang Defen, and she also reached the age when she should get married. The marriage of the ancients is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, without the consent of the daughter, the parents gave her marriage, the man is Tao Shu.
This marriage is good for both men and women, and "men marry high and women marry low" is also in line with tradition. Relying on the support of the Huang family, Tao Shu did not have to worry about the trivialities of life, he could study more intently, and the possibility of being admitted to the jinshi would also be greatly improved.
After Huang Defen married Tao Shu, if the man is admitted to the jinshi in the future, he can also take care of his mother's family, which can be described as you coming and going, and the two sides are mutually beneficial. Soon, Tao Shu and Huang Defen ushered in the wedding day, which attracted the attention of many local people, and the Huang and Tao families were also immersed in rare joy.
However, in this day of thousands of people's expectations, there is one person who is very unhappy, that is, the bride Huang Defen, why? Because she has lived under the care of her parents since she was a child, she wears and eats every day, which also causes her vision to be very high.
In her opinion, Tao Shu is a poor talent, following him can only suffer and suffer, and readers like him do not understand the romance of male and female love, and life after the two married makes Huang Defen feel hopeless, bored and expectant.
The rich family had thousands of dollars to let the lady marry on behalf of the bride
Thinking of this, Huang Defen was more and more upset the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more reluctant he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Tao Shu was mediocre and incompetent. However, as mentioned above, the ancients paid attention to the words of the parents, and even if They did not ask Huang Defen's opinion, the marriage was legal.
Moreover, the wedding is already being held, if you shirk and obstruct at this time, it will not only embarrass poor Xiucai, but even your parents' faces will not be able to hang light. As we all know, in ancient times, large families all had their own beards, and women who married would also bring their own beards over, which was for the sake of having a house.
At this moment, Huang Defen saw xiaohong next to her, and her figure was the same as her own. Therefore, Huang Defen's heart suddenly thought of a wonderful way, instead of being deeply involved in this hopeless marriage, it is better to "steal beams and change pillars".
In doing so, you can not only get yourself out of this wedding, but also take care of the faces of both families. Later, Huang Defen's sidekick married Xiucai, and because things were handled very well, there was no fork during the marriage.
As the saying goes: "Hide from the first day, hide from the fifteenth", the oriental flower candle night is a very important day for a man, and the disguised bride will eventually show the filling. Sure enough, Xiaohong replaced Miss Wang, sat in a flower palanquin, and visited the church, everything went smoothly, but there was a problem when entering the cave room.
In the evening, the scholar Tao Shu helped Xiaohong into the room and personally unveiled her red hijab. As a result, seeing that his wife was not Huang Defen, Tao Shu was first stunned, and then he was relieved, and such a performance also surprised Xiaohong.
In this case, Xiaohong chooses to tell Tao Shu everything and chooses to accept punishment. However, Tao Shu stopped Xiaohong and said that he had known from an early age that the person who had married in the chapel was not Huang Defen.
Because the rouge smell of the woman in the big family is very heavy, but on the big wedding day, he did not smell this smell from the bride, which shows that the bride is not Huang Defen. In addition, Xiao Hong's hand is also very ordinary, not as delicate as the hand of the big family lady, so Tao Shu is more certain of his own views.
Many years later, Qian Xiu finally became an official of the imperial court
However, Tao Shu did not immediately expose all this, in his opinion, since Miss Huang Jia hated herself as a poor talent, even if she cried loudly, it was better to go with the flow, after all, the feelings of husband and wife were also full of cultivation, and a wife must marry Xian.
From a certain point of view, Tao Shu and Xiao Hong are both bitter people, and they have been used by Huang Defen, which is somewhat sympathetic. In this way, while lamenting the impermanence of life, the feelings of the two are also further close, resulting in some feelings.
Therefore, the two simply calculated and married into a real couple, both of them are downcast, they are both bitter people, and they can also be regarded as the right door. For the matter of Tao Shu and Xiao Hong, Huang Defen saw that there was no extraneous branch, and he no longer minded, and pushed Xiao Hong along the water to marry Tao Shu.
After marriage, Tao Shu was very good to Xiaohong, and Xiaohong also had great expectations for Tao Shu. She took good care of her husband's life, did not let him have any worries, and devoted herself to learning.
Just as the so-called: "do not experience wind and rain, how to see the rainbow", after years of hard work and struggle, Tao Shu was finally admitted to the lifting people. The story of Fan Jinzhongju must have been heard by everyone, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, as long as you can be admitted to the lifting of people, it is equivalent to carp jumping the dragon gate, and the social status has risen straight up to the elite class.
During his tenure as an official, Tao Shu also worked diligently and asked for the people's lives, and his official position continued to improve... Time is hurried, more than 20 years have passed, Tao Shu has become a high official in the DPRK, and Xiaohong has also become the wife of the official, and her status has long been different.
Once, the two of them came to their hometown where they had been away for a long time, and saw familiar people and things, but they didn't see the big lady of the year alone. The two did not take this matter to heart, but they met a crazy woman under the root of the city wall, and she clung to Xiaohong's clothes tightly.
After a closer look, this crazy woman was actually Miss Huang, and it turned out that after Miss Huang repented of her marriage, she soon fell into the middle of the family road, and she married a person who was not as good as Tao Shu. This person is not doing the right thing, and he often scolds Miss Huang and drives Miss Huang crazy little by little, so that he has this scene.
Seeing such a situation, Miss Huang said to Xiaohong: "You stole the happiness of my life", and wanted to beat Xiaohong, but she was pulled away by the people around her. In the face of Miss Huang's fate, Xiaohong did not have too many emotions and left silently.
As for how the later Miss Huang was, it is not known. This incident is a good interpretation of a sentence: "Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, do not deceive the young poor" What do you think about this?
