There is no one in this world who does not envy romantic love and perfect marriage, but some women are born beautiful but unfortunately born in the bottom society, in order to climb a marriage, abandon their parents, but is this really worth it?
In France, there is such an official position, the postmaster, who belongs to the lowest rank in France, receives the meager salary, but bears heavy accusations and insults. Often located in remote areas, caravanserais provide accommodation, meals and horse changing services for passers-by.
These poor station masters have to endure the complaints and complaints of the guests every day, and the guests eat and sleep in the wind, and often turn the bitterness in the process of rushing and the bad weather encountered into resentment and vent to the stationmaster. The postmaster's official position can only guarantee that they will not be beaten, and sometimes even this is not guaranteed.
In the face of the guests' scolding, the stationmasters often found an opportunity to hide in the corridor and wait for the guests to calm their anger. Therefore, almost every stationmaster is worried and lifeless, but there is one stationmaster who is indeed an exception.
The stationmaster was radiant, and his face was always full of confidence and expectation. He had a daughter named Tonya, who was beautiful and clever, and could help greet guests when she was fourteen or fifteen years old. Whenever the guests were furious, seeing Tonya's gentle smile, they would restrain their anger. Tonya is the pride of the stationmaster, and whenever the guests mention their daughter Tonya, the stationmaster is always full of pride.
One day, a hussar officer came to the station, and from his attire and retinue, it was clear that he was supposed to be a big man. The hussar officer was furious when he heard that there was no idle carriage for him to use, and Tonya appeared, and Tonya's smile melted the officer's anger, and the officer decided to stay at the station.
Who would have thought that that night the officer would become seriously ill? Tonya had been taking care of her closely, and the stationmaster was so anxious that he paid a big price to invite a German doctor to see him, and the doctor and the officer communicated in German, and then told the stationmaster that there was no big deal, just too much work. The stationmaster finally put his mind at ease. After a few more days, the officer finally recovered, and he decided to leave, and before leaving, he gave the stationmaster a sum of money to express his care for the last few days.
On the way out, the officer suggested that he could take Tonya to the church at the head of the village, and Tonya looked flustered and panicked. The stationmaster encouraged his daughter to go and said that the adults were not bad people. Thinking about this in hindsight, the stationmaster was full of remorse, and his daughter Tonya would be forever. That night, it was late, Tonya had not returned, and the stationmaster went to the church at the head of the village, where the deacon said that Tonya had not appeared.
Later, the driver who had sent the officer to the city returned, and he said that Tonya had turned back frequently in the carriage and kept crying, and that the officers were comforting her along the way, and it could be seen that Tonya had voluntarily left with the officer. In the society of that time, there were tragic stories of young officers deceiving beautiful girls every moment, and these officers brought poor and beautiful girls to the city, and after a period of play, they abandoned them, and these girls could only be reduced to the toys of the rich in the city.
The stationmaster wanted to find Tonya, and he trembled at the thought that his beautiful daughter was about to suffer such a fate. He thinks that Tonya is just a lost lamb, and as long as he finds her, he will definitely follow him home and become the well-behaved and sensible daughter he used to be.
The stationmaster slept in the city, and finally found the officer Minsky who took Tonya, and the stationmaster begged the noble lord kai kai to let his daughter go, but only squeezed out a sentence: "Lord! ...... Please do good deeds! Minsky arrogantly stated that he would not abandon Tonya, when Tonya could not have such an unruly father, and then went away.
The stationmaster was still not at ease, he followed Minsky to find the place where Tonya lived, in that villa, he saw Tonya wearing gorgeous clothes, snuggled next to Minsky, the stationmaster had never seen his daughter so beautiful, maybe this is the life Tonya wants. Tonya was stunned to see her father's old face and fainted on the ground. Minsky angrily took out a roll of paper money and shoved it into the hands of the stationmaster and blasted him out. The stationmaster returned to the station alone, he no longer had the spirit of the past, indifferent to the scolding of the guests, borrowed wine every day to pour sorrow, and finally drunk alive.
A few years later, a beautiful noblewoman came to the inn with three young masters in a magnificent carriage, accompanied by a servant and a cat, and it is said that this beautiful lady did not need the guidance of others, and went straight to the grave of the stationmaster, knelt on the ground, and wept bitterly.
Tonya abandoned her old father and lived the life of high society of her dreams, wondering if she ever regretted her actions when her father cried in his grave.
In real life, in order to change their fate through marriage, many people do not hesitate to package their origins and break with their original families, but in the end, they only end up with the fate of being abandoned.
Tu Lei, the emotional teacher, once said: "Not forgetting this is the real nobility." In the story of "The Stationmaster", the author kindly gives Tonya a happy ending, but in reality, maybe this is just a dream bubble.
However, many people for the so-called love, in order to live a better life, will still choose to break with their relatives, desperate, just to win a cross-class opportunity, such a choice is really worth it?
