The night of the cave flower candle is a man's happiest moment. But Chen Duoshou didn't think so. If given another chance, he would never have anything to do with the woman in front of him. It wasn't that I didn't love her, but I didn't want to hurt her.
One day, after Chen Duoshou returned from school, his neighbor Wang Sanlao casually asked, "How old is this boy?" His father, Chen Qing, said while playing chess: "9 years old! Wang Sanlao asked another chess player, Zhu Shiyuan, "I remember that Ling Ai was born 9 years ago, right?" Zhu Shiyuan said: "I remember you, the little girl is indeed nine years old." ”
So Wang Sanlao matched and said, "You two have been chess friends all your life, why don't you become a son and daughter?" In ancient times, there was a Chen Zhu village, there were only two surnames in the village, and they were married for generations. Now that your two surnames coincide, isn't this a godsend marriage? ”
Zhu Shiyuan had already taken a fancy to Chen Duoshou, so he borrowed the slope and said, "I am willing, but I am afraid that Brother Chen will not agree." If Brother Chen agreed, I wouldn't have anything else to say. "The Chen family is a son, and the parents of the women have agreed, what else is he twisting?" He agreed. He also asked Wang Sanlao to be a matchmaker. In this way, nine-year-old Chen Duoshou and his neighbor Zhu Duofu betrothed doll kisses.
But there was an unexpected storm in the sky, and when Chen Duoshou was 15 years old, he suddenly suffered from a strange disease. Not only are there sores on the top of the head, the skin is pus, and the whole body is emitting poisonous gas. And this strange disease was extremely itchy, as if tens of thousands of ants were eating his flesh and bone marrow. At first, the Chen family thought that their son was suffering from scabies, but as time passed, the condition became more and more serious, and even the skin became toad skin. Chen Duoshou was tortured to death and became inhuman and ghostly.
His family took him to seek medical treatment for more than a year, and he did not get better. Zhu Shiyuan treated Chen Duoshou as half a son and always visited the house to see if he was ill, but there was no good news. Zhu Shiyuan's wife, Liu Shiyuan, heard that her aunt-to-be had such a strange disease, and complained to her husband crying: "My daughter is not ugly, why did you promise her a family at the age of 9?" Now with such a husband on the stall, how is she good? Even if the toad died, my daughter was simply relieved. But he is not dead or alive now, so what should my daughter do? Widowed?"
The Chen family and his wife were also good people, and worried that their son's illness was dragging down the daughter of the Zhu family, they asked Wang San to return the Zhu family's Gengtie. Zhu Shiyuan and his wife were surprised to receive Gengtie, and they quickly found the dowry of 12 taels of silver given by the Chen family that year. There were also two silver noodles, which were in the room of her daughter Zhu Duofu. When Zhu Shiyuan told his daughter the news of the Chen family's resignation, the daughter said that she did not agree with anything.
Liu Shi said to his daughter, "As long as you marry into a wealthy family, do you still lack hairpins to wear?" Don't say silver hairpins, even gold hairpins have them. Knowing that her parents had misunderstood her, Judofo explained, "Am I the one who values the hairpin?" I only know that if I am engaged to Chen Duoshou, I will end up from one end and never marry anyone else in this life. In order to prevent their daughter from doing something stupid, the couple did not dare to force their daughter.
Hearing that Miss Zhu Family refused to withdraw from marriage, Chen Qing and his wife were full of satisfaction. But Chen Duoshou was afraid of delaying her life, so he personally met with his father-in-law, Zhu Shiyuan, and conveyed to him his thoughts that he did not want to marry a wife. Zhu Shiyuan informed his daughter of Chen Duoshou's meaning, but Duofu's intention was still firm, and he would not marry unless he did not live long. After the news of the Chen family's plan to withdraw from marriage came out, many matchmakers heard the wind and went to the Zhu family to propose relatives.
Zhu Duofu was heartbroken, and took advantage of the silence in the evening to hang himself with a three-foot white silk. It may also be that her life should not be killed, Zhu Shiyuan was in his sleep, and he vaguely heard crying in his daughter's room. He woke up from his dream and went to his daughter's room to check, just in time to see his daughter hanging. Because the rescue was timely, Zhu Duofu came back to life. After this incident, the Zhu family and his wife no longer dared to force their daughter.
Taking advantage of his wife's efforts to take care of his daughter, Zhu Shiyuan went to the City God Temple to ask for a signature. Only to see the signature read: "The luck of the times has not been prosperous, and the years have been plagued by disasters." The clouds will eventually see the day, and the blessings will be made from heaven. He thought to himself that this sign might mean that his son-in-law's illness might be able to see the clouds and see the sunny day, so he decided to marry his daughter to the Chen family. After the Chen family heard about this, they asked their son for their opinion. Chen Duoshou was also afraid that Duofu would not be able to open it, so he married her through the door.
On the day of the two people's wedding, many villagers ran to see the hilarity, but some people went to see the jokes. In their view, this is the flower planted on the cow dung. On the night of the candle in the cave room, Chen Duoshou and Zhu Duofu slept separately. One of them, fearing that he was going to die, defiled the yellow flower of the people. One is afraid that her husband is not in good health, which will lead to a worsening of his condition. Chen Duoshou's mother's dream of holding her grandson could not be realized at all.
One day, a blind fortune teller came from the village, and Chen Duoshou went to tell his fortune. The blind man calculated that he was fourteen to twenty-three years old, and that he had been a great taboo for ten years, and that he had committed evil diseases and had not died for half his life. Although this is a water shortage, it can still jump. Twenty-four to thirty-three years old, this ten years of life is even worse, at any time may die. Chen Duoshou was disheartened and bought arsenic on the way home. After saying goodbye to his parents, he asked his wife to cook him a pot of wine and put arsenic into the wine without her noticing.
After drinking alcohol mixed with arsenic, he told his wife the truth, hoping that she would remarry after his death. But the wife decided to live and die with her husband, snatched the jug and drank the wine from the jug. After a while, both of them fell to the ground. Chen Duoshou's mother, Zhang Shi, heard that her son was going to drink, so she sent a plate of peanuts and rice. When they walked to the door and heard the words "take poison" between the two, they were frightened and hurriedly pushed the door in.
As a result, when she broke in, the little couple had all laid down on the ground. Zhang Clan hurriedly called out to her husband Chen Qing, Chen Qing had heard a folk remedy before, and those who took arsenic cream could be detoxified as long as they were infused with the blood of the sheep they had killed. He hurriedly killed the sheep in the house to save people. After drinking the blood of the sheep, the two vomited on the spot and woke up after a while. Although he saved his life, the residual poison of arsenic remained in his body.
However, this is a good thing for Chen Duoshou. It turned out that he originally had a toxin in his body, and after taking arsenic, he actually attacked the poison with poison and cured the previous problem. Not only are the scabs on the body gone, but the skin is also smooth and delicate, like a new person. Even his grandmother couldn't recognize it. After recovering from his illness, Chen Duoshou continued to study poetry and books, took the imperial examination, and at the age of thirty-three, he ascended to the subject, and at the age of thirty-four and the first, and finally became an official. And he and Zhu Duofu also loved each other all their lives, gave birth to a pair of children, and lived a long life.
