As early as the time of feudal society, there was an unwritten custom in many parts of our country, that is, to marry an adult daughter-in-law for a minor son, thinking that if you marry a wife early, you can give birth to a man early, in addition to passing on the incense for the family, you can also add an envoy to the family. Women in that year and month had no status, went to bed early and got up early, poured urinals for in-laws, cooked for the family, washed and brushed, sewed and mended, worked hard and complained, did not dare to say more, which is as yin and yang as it is now, the current status of women is not only equal to men, but even has a great tendency to transcend.
Gossip is less, the book belongs to the main text. It is said that during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, a strange case of a new marriage occurred in a village in Anyang, Henan, which sounds very absurd.
The family's surname was Qi, and it was considered a wealthy family in the local area, and there was a thirteen-year-old only son in the family, who married the daughter of the Huang family ten miles away. Huang was twenty-three years old, a full ten years older than the only son of the Qi family. In that year, the twenty-three-year-old woman who had not yet gone out of the house could definitely be called an old girl, Huang's appearance was good, her figure was not bad, and there was no hidden disease, her parents told her a few kisses, she all spilled and pushed away, saying that she would not marry anything. Because she is the only daughter in the family and has been loved by her parents since she was a child, she does not dare to manage her parents too deeply for her unreasonable trouble, for fear that her daughter will not want to meet and find death.
Seeing that the age is getting older day by day, and then not going out, the backbone will be poked by the good people, and it happens that the Qi family entrusts the matchmaker to come to the door to ask for relatives, and the Huang family actually agreed to come down this time. When they saw that their daughter was finally willing to marry, their parents' heart disease for many years suddenly improved by most of them, and they not only volunteered to ask for less dowry from the Qi family, but also posted a lot of dowry.
If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short. Only to say that on the day after the new marriage, the sun has already risen, breakfast is prepared early, but the door of the new house is not opened for a long time. The in-laws waited left and right, only thinking that a new couple snoozed, although they were dissatisfied, complaining that the new daughter-in-law was too ignorant, but because they were worried about their son, they did not call the door in the past.
Daohe's relatives and friends arrived one after another, and they did not go out of the house to see their relatives and friends, only to be afraid of being gossiped about. Therefore, the mother-in-law had to pull down the old face to the window of the new house and shout for the new person to leave the house.
Strange things happened, there were several shouts outside, and my son was also in the house, but he didn't come out for a long time. They felt strange, and they could not be decent, licked the window paper, peeked through the small hole, did not look at it, after looking, they were shocked to sweat.
I saw my son tied up in a ball, lying on his side on the ground, his sleepy eyes hazy, not yet fully awake, as if he had slept on the ground all night. When the father and mother saw this scene, thinking that the new daughter-in-law ran away with someone at night, she quickly smashed the window and asked the son what happened?
The son said stupidly: "Last night, just after I lay down, a man came out from under the bed, took a knife to scare me, tied me with a rope, and didn't let me speak, he threatened that as long as I spoke, he would cut my tongue." I was afraid of him, so I listened to him, and I slept on the ground, and he slept in my bed..."
Before the son's nonsense was finished, he saw a man and a woman sticking out of the big red tent, the woman was a new daughter-in-law, and the man was a handsome but murderous strange man. Just listen to the man with a thick neck and say, "Your young master is right, that's what happened." To tell you the truth, I and my sister have been friends since childhood, she did not marry in order to wait for me, I worked for three years in Shanxi, I had to save enough dowry money, but I did not expect to be occupied by your family. I was not convinced, so I came to your house in the dark and asked this girl for an understanding. It turned out that she had not changed her heart, and there was still only one in her heart, and she was willing to marry into your family, but it was just a prostitute who didn't understand anything, and came to your house to make a show. Now that the two of you have become a good thing, you might as well be a good person and fulfill them both. He said with a sharp knife that was clearly dangling, pointing at the little young master tied to the ground, "If you don't know how to lift, don't blame me for being rude!" ”
In the face of this sudden change, the whole family trembled and did not know what to do. But the man with the knife asked for wine and meat in the house, and threatened to kill their son if he did not do what he said. If the meal is not hearty, don't blame him for having black hands.
Worried that the murderer would hurt his precious son, the father's mother quickly did it one by one. According to the instructions of the murderer, the wine and meat were placed along the window on the table against the wall of the house, and then away from the window, no one dared to come near without the murderer's command.
The fierce man also had a method, he used a long rope tied one end to the little young master's waist, one end grasped in his hand, and ordered the little young master to go to the window to take the wine and meat. After letting the little young master taste the wine and meat one by one to confirm that it was non-toxic, he and his new daughter-in-law chewed together.
Such a ridiculous act, everyone on the outside was stunned, but no one had a good way to rescue it. After two days of such a stalemate, someone finally secretly reported it to the officials.
The county commander had never heard of such a ridiculous case, and was so astonished that he could hardly believe what the informant said, so he personally took someone to the Qi family, and after witnessing it with his own eyes, Fang knew that there was such a strange thing in the world.
Speaking of the fierce man who snatched the magpie's nest, when he saw the county order to bring people here, he was not afraid at all, threatening that he and his sweetheart could be a true couple for three days, and if they gave them a way to live, they would also leave a way for the little young master to live; if they were embarrassed by them, they would pull the little young master's back.
Such an unreasonable request completely angered the county order, so he sent someone to arrest the bride's mother's family and make her parents call her daughter out of the house. Did you know that the daughter not only did not come out, but loudly rebuked her father and mother for being cruel, and threatened to live and die with her sweetheart.
The county order saw that the call was ineffective, so he had to use the radical method, ordering the soap official to press the bride's parents to the ground and hit the board, when the bride would leave the house, when to stop.
The bride's parents were beaten to the ground, crying for forgiveness, there was no county order to speak, the soap official did not dare to stop, tired of changing people and then beating, more than two hundred times, when the parents had already been beaten to the skin and flesh, and the daughter in the house seemed to be like no one, and actually turned a deaf ear to the sins of her parents.
The county order made people stop and fight again, only to be afraid that they would kill people. In desperation, the county order had to order people to surround the outside of the house and think of another countermeasure. One of the staff members thought that a habitual thief who was good at chiseling walls and punching holes could be extracted from the big prison, and let this habitual stealing punch holes in, just by rescuing the little young master of the Qi family, the two shameless people could be eliminated.
The county order thought that this plan was feasible, so he brought out the habit of letting people steal and let him wear the crime and make a meritorious contribution. In order to curry favor with the county order, the habitual thief also worked very hard, and unexpectedly, without knowing it, he punched a small hole in the wall, and when the murderer was about to fall asleep after drinking wine, he went through the hole and smoothed the little young master out of the cave. By the time the murderer found out, the little young master had already escaped. The murderer was furious, jumped out of bed, and stabbed the habitual thief with a knife, and the habitual thief hurriedly dodged while shouting loudly. The soap guards outside broke through the door and captured a pair of shameless people.
The next day, the county ordered the public trial of the case, and the whole county was sensational, and early in the morning, the crowd watching the trial surrounded the yamen. The county order sat high in the middle hall, the staff and the soap official stood on the left and right, the two shameless people still strongly argued above the court, and the county order let the two men strip off their clothes according to the law, leaving no traces, and then first beat the two men with forty rods, and then ordered the men to beat the male prisoners with thin rattan for two thousand and the female prisoners for a thousand.
After the fight, the two were already exhausted. The county decreed that the bride's parents would take their daughter home to discipline themselves, not only to return the dowry given by the man, but also to double the compensation for all the losses suffered by the man.
After the bride was carried back, her parents sold the property to compensate for the loss of the man's family. Then they both threw themselves into the river, leaving the unfilial daughter alive and becoming a prostitute.
And that fierce man, after being beaten by two thousand floggings, was already dying, and the next day he was beaten two thousand times, and before he could finish beating, he had already swallowed his breath. At this point, this absurd new marriage case is over.
Some friends may think that this is just an absurd story compiled by the ancients, and do not believe that there will be such absurd things in the world. In fact, this is really a real case, several criminal case files printed at the end of the Qing Dynasty are mentioned, And Li Hanxiang, the director of Shao's Wind and Moon Film, also used this case as a model to shoot "Wind moon qitan", in which liu Kaiwei's father Liu Dan, who played the obsessive murderer, was Liu Dan, who was the actor of Hong Qigong in the 83rd edition of the eagle.
This film is very funny and interesting, but unfortunately the full version of HD is now difficult to find, the author is a loyal fan of Li Hanxiang, in the early years included most of Li Hanxiang's works, watch Master Li's works, through the small screen to feel the life of the Republic of China period, folk customs, can be described as interesting, not tired of watching.
