During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a town at the foot of Wuling Mountain, known as "peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain and snowflakes on the mountain", and "continuous rain at the foot of the mountain and bright sunshine on the mountain".
There is a girl named Mu Yun in the town. She is not only fair and beautiful, but also has a graceful figure. She is also very diligent and good at cooking.
What's even more rare is that she was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Since she was a child, she has followed the elders who practice medicine to understand herbal medicine, learn pharmacology, and treat diseases and save people.
By the time Mu Yun reached his 28th year, there was already an endless stream of people seeking marriage at his door. To describe it as crossing the threshold is no exaggeration.
Mr. Mu has been practicing medicine for many years and has seen too many life and death separations, right and wrong, so he treats the life-long events of Mu Yun, an only daughter, with an open mind and a far-sighted vision. He does not take care of his daughter's marriage like other families do, and he treats his daughter's marriage with great respect. Mu Yun's opinion.
Among the many suitors, Mu Yun was not interested in any of them. These people either have bad character, have bad looks, or are poor and sour. In short, they are all difficult to get into Mu Yun's eyes!
After two years of this, Mu Yun still hasn't chosen the person he likes. Seeing that his daughter was eighteen years old, and most of her peers were already married and had children, Mu Lang felt a little anxious!
At this time, Mu Langzhong's wife reminded him secretly, saying: "Aren't you used to your daughter's willfulness? There are so many young talents, and Yun'er can't look down on any of them? I think she probably has a sweetheart. ! "
Mu Yun's mother really guessed this. One day two years ago, Mu Yun was helping his father go out to deliver medicine to patients. He passed by Mr. Murong's house and heard the sound of reading loudly in the yard. He was curious and looked in through the collapsed wall.
Seeing a young man concentrating on reading under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, Mu Yun understood at that moment what the ancients called love at first sight.
At this time, Master Murong also discovered Mu Yun, who was as beautiful as a flower, and generously invited her to the hospital for a talk.
After delivering the medicine, Mu Yun was so bold that he ignored the differences between men and women and went to Master Murong's home as promised.
The two fell in love at first sight, sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting. After going back and forth, the two young men made a private decision for life, agreeing to go to Mu's house to propose marriage when Young Master Murong gained fame.
Thinking of all the abnormalities in her daughter over the past year, not caring at all about her marriage to the matchmaker, and sneaking out alone for a long time from time to time, saying she was going to see a friend, Mr. Mu slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "Madam, what you said makes sense. ! "
So, after dinner, the couple called Mu Yun. Mu Yun's mother got straight to the point and made it clear about her daughter's marriage. As long as Mu Yun liked it, the couple would definitely support her choice.
Now that his parents had made their attitude clear, Mu Yun no longer felt any mental pressure. He pondered for a while, gathered up his courage, and said with some embarrassment: "I think Brother Murong is quite a good person. Although he is a single person, he is still a poor scholar. But he is kind-hearted, willing to help others, and studies hard, so he will definitely be successful in the future!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Mu found out that the elder brother Murong his daughter was talking about was a poor scholar from a nearby village whose parents died young. He is handsome and well-groomed, and he is kind-hearted and helpful. He is well-known in their village.
However, his family is destitute and he failed two provincial examinations. Therefore, now he is twenty-one years old and still alone, with no woman to marry him.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Lang secretly thought: Anyway, Mu Yun is an only daughter in the family and has been practicing medicine for many years. Although the family is not rich, it is still wealthy. As long as the man has good character, is good to Yun'er, and has filial piety, a poor person will never be poor. , it doesn’t matter.
So, Mr. Mu asked his wife what she thought. Madam also said that Mr. Murong had good conduct in the countryside and was well-known in the countryside. However, his family was too poor and she was afraid that Yun'er would marry him and follow him to suffer hardships.
When Mu Yun heard what his mother said, he muttered: "Mom, you have forgotten that I have learned every detail of my father's skills. Even if we open a medical clinic in the countryside after we get married, we won't be able to drink from the northwest." "Wind!"
When Mu Yun's mother saw that her precious daughter was angry, she quickly stopped and said to her husband: "Our precious daughter has a sharp eye, and she has chosen the right man."
When Mu Yun saw that his wife had no objection, he He warned his wife: "Yun'er is not young anymore, and it's time to get married. Tomorrow you send someone to carefully inquire about Mr. Murong's specific situation. If there are no big mistakes, ask Yun'er to tell him and ask him to invite a matchmaker to come to his home to propose marriage. , arrange the marriage for them, so as not to be disturbed by the matchmakers who come to propose marriage all day long!"
After a few days, Mu Yun conveyed his father's wishes to Young Master Murong, and Young Master Murong was overjoyed.
After the surprise, Mr. Murong thought of his situation and whispered: "Now that I am very poor, will you marry me? Or shall I marry you?"
Mu Yun said with a smile: "When I marry a chicken, follow the chicken. When I marry a dog, follow the dog. Of course you marry me. Besides, husband and wife are one and the same, so how can we be husband and wife? As the old saying goes, if you marry me, it won’t be too late to gain fame!”
Master Murong heard what Mu Yun said very well. That's right. Looking at the pretty lady, I don't know how long it will take for me to get fame. I can't let the woman I love wait for me all the time. I have to give her an explanation. The two looked at each other, understanding each other, and smiled at each other.
Before leaving, Mu Yun knew that his beloved man was currently short of money, so he quietly put his private money under Mr. Murong's quilt.
After Mu Yun left, Master Murong was scratching his head, thinking about how to raise money to get married. I had no intention of studying, so I just lay on the bed and thought about where to borrow money for the wedding.
Suddenly he found the money that Mu Yun had left under the quilt. He was so moved that he couldn't describe it. He thought to himself: "If I get a wife like this, what more could I ask for? I will never live up to the beauty's kindness in this life!"
On the second day, Mr. Murong used Mu Yun's hand. Yun left the money for himself and sent a matchmaker to the house of Mu Langzhong to ask for a marriage and make an engagement. I am still busy looking for someone to clean up my house, buy some wedding supplies and daily necessities, and prepare for the wedding.
It is said that Mr. Murong’s friend came to Mr. Hu. Hearing that he was getting married, he came to congratulate him and at the same time, he wanted to find out where this poor scholar could find a wife. Whose woman has such special vision that she would bet her life's happiness on him?
When the neighbors saw that the bride was Mu Yun, they were filled with envy and jealousy. They never expected that this poor scholar would be so lucky to marry the beautiful daughter of a shepherd.
This also shocked Hu Lai who came to congratulate him. That Mu Yun had always been the girl of his dreams. He had sent matchmakers to his door many times to propose marriage, but to no avail. He never thought that Murong, a poor scholar, had quietly embraced the beauty!
After getting married, the two of them played the music in harmony and raised eyebrows. Mu Yun took over all the housework, rented out a few acres of thin farmland, and diagnosed diseases and prescribed medicines for the villagers at home. He earned money to help Murong study peacefully and help him become famous and achieve his dreams as soon as possible.
The only thing that dissatisfied Mu Yunsheng was that her husband's friend came to the house every now and then, and her husband just entertained him. This nonsense is so daring, taking advantage of her husband not paying attention, looking at her body with a lustful look, and naked desire can be clearly felt in her eyes.
If it weren't for Mu Yun's cold attitude towards him, and he didn't have the chance to make a move, this nonsense would have already eaten into Mu Yun's tofu.
The night when he realized that Hu Nuan was looking wrong, Mu Yun said to her husband: "That friend of yours is doing all sorts of things. He keeps looking at me when he comes to the house. At first glance, he looks like a pervert. I hope my husband will not let him come to the house again in the future!"
In fact, Mr. Murong also saw Hu Lai's passionate gaze on Mu Yun. However, because he was poor, he borrowed Hu Lai's money when he went to the provincial examination twice!
As the old saying goes: Eaters are short-tongued and soft-handed. Now he still owes Hu Lai dozens of taels of silver, so it's hard to offend Hu Lai.
It’s not easy to tell a newlywed wife about this, as it involves a man’s dignity.After all, this debt was owed by him before the marriage and had nothing to do with his wife. He was already a little ashamed of his wife's support for him when they got married. Now that she had just married into the family, took care of the housework, and made money to support the family, how could he have the nerve to ask his beloved wife to borrow money to pay off the debt?
After careful consideration, Mr. Murong decided not to tell Mu Yun about the money he owed Hu Lai, but to find a way to pay it off by himself. Seeing that this person is so lustful and disregards the ancient saying that a friend's wife should not be bullied, it seems that it would be better to have less contact with him in the future.
Feeling that Murong and his wife were deliberately neglecting him, Hu Lai was dissatisfied, but it was hard to say anything, so he held back for many days and did not go to Murong's house again.
One of Hu Lai's servants saw that his master was depressed all day long because of a woman and had trouble sleeping at night. He came up with a plan and whispered a good idea to Hu Lai.
After hearing this, he was overjoyed and rewarded the servant with some broken silver, asking him to handle the matter quickly.
The next day, the servant called Mr. Murong out for an excuse and said: "Our master said that the shops in the county are in urgent need of an accountant. At present, no suitable manpower has been found. You can help for a while, and you can save dozens of people." The debt of two taels of silver can be written off in one stroke. This can happen in three to five days, or in two or three months. If you find a suitable accountant, you can come back immediately."
Mr. Murong heard this, and it could take as long as three to five days, or as long as two months. In March, a simple accounting could offset the dozens of taels of silver owed to Hu Hua. This was a sure-fire business, so he nodded and agreed. So, the two of them found time to meet and sign and sign, and it was finally settled.
When Mr. Murong returned home, he said goodbye to Mu Yun and said: "A friend of mine opened a shop in the county town. He once sponsored me to go to the provincial examination. He was kind to me. Now his shop is short of an accountant. He needs my help for a few days. I'll be busy, wait until he finds a suitable accountant, and I'll come back!"
After hearing what her husband said, Mu Yun knew that her husband was a kind and righteous man, so he didn't have much to say, so he packed his bags and told him not to waste time. Studying, I will wait for his return at home.
As soon as Mr. Murong left, Hu Lai came to the house and asked Mu Yun to give him a headache treatment. This gave Mu Yun a bad headache. Being looked at by this pervert made him feel uncomfortable all over.
In order to get rid of Hu Lai's entanglement, Mu Yun decided not to attend the consultation at home. He got up early the next morning, locked the doors and windows, brought a few changes of clothes, and hurried back to his parents' home.
Mu Yun had just stayed at her parents' house for three days when a stranger came to her door. She said that Mr. Murong had followed the housekeeper to a store in the county to temporarily work as a bookkeeper. After falling off a cliff on the way, no one was seen alive, no body was found, and he disappeared. .
When Mu Yun heard this, he was dizzy and heartbroken. Only then did he realize that the friend his husband said he was helping was a fool. If he had known earlier, he would not have been allowed to go anyway.
When the shepherd heard this, he quickly came out and asked Hu Lai in detail what was going on?
Hu Lai asked the steward to tell what happened.
It turned out that the two of them wanted to get to the county seat before dark, so they took a shortcut and went directly through the mountain. Unexpectedly, the horse that Mr. Murong was riding was frightened on the mountain road, and he dragged the horseman and fell to the bottom of the cliff.
I have been searching for two days now, and I only found the horses that fell to death, but I couldn't find Mr. Murong's people. Judging from the situation at the scene, it's probably more serious than bad!
When Mu Yun heard the news that her husband was probably dead, she suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.
After Hu Lai took the people away, Mu Yun woke up and hugged his mother and cried bitterly.
After he calmed down, Mu Yun told his parents the cause and effect, convinced that his husband's death was not accidental and that there must be someone behind it.
Mu Langzhong immediately understood that his son-in-law's accident must have something to do with Hu Lai. However, due to the inability to produce evidence, there is nothing that can be done about Hu Lai.
Muyun knew that her husband died under strange circumstances. In order to find evidence, she tried every means and asked people to wait in the county for news. However, she still had no clue. Her husband was neither alive nor dead.
Hu Lai originally planned to kill Mr. Murong and leave her as a weak woman, but she could use some tricks. As a widow, why not just submit? However, I made a mistake in my thinking. It was really a waste of money.
In the past, I could see Mu Yun for medical reasons, but now Mu Yun is like a nun who has become a monk. She stays in her natal home and tells the outside world that she is keeping her husband's integrity and will not marry anyone else in this life. If her parents were not alive, she might have been married into a nun.
Three years have passed in a flash. One day, Mr. Murong returned home as an elected son and reported Mr. Hu, who had harmed him, to the Yamen and brought them to justice. So he went to meet Mu Yun, and the couple hugged each other and cried.
It turns out that Hu Lai used a trick to trick Murong into working as an accountant in the county town. Just to get rid of him, he had already ordered his servants to push him off the cliff halfway and pretended to be an accidental death.
However, there is no end to the road. Mr. Murong fell off the cliff and happened to fall on the horse's belly. Then his head hit the ground and he temporarily lost his memory, but he finally saved his life.
Later, he was rescued by Orion who came home at night, and stayed with Orion in a remote mountain village to recuperate. There was a scholar in that mountain village. Seeing that Mu Yun had good conversation, profound knowledge, and neat handwriting, he recognized that he was a scholar, so he invited him to study together, and they encouraged each other.
Before the provincial examination, Mr. Murong regained his memory and knew his life experience, so he went to take the examination with the scholar in the mountain village. After passing the exam, he returned to his hometown with honor and vindicated himself.
The couple finally came to the end of their hardships. After years of baptism, they met again three years later and still love each other. After this incident, Mr. Murong gave up his literary career and became a doctor for some unknown reason. He was determined to help the world and benefit the people with his own abilities.
Later, he expanded his house and courtyard at the foot of Wuling Mountain and lived with Mr. and Mrs. Mu, showing great filial piety to them. Within a few years, they gave birth to two more boys and two girls, and the family lived a happy life!
