In ancient times Changyuan County , there was a scholar named You Tianlong. Although he came from a poor family, he relied on his talent and always wanted to get ahead and live a wealthy life. Unfortunately, he had bad luck and failed in the scientific examination at the beginning. , and later lost all his savings in business. From then on, he gave up on himself, and his life became worse and worse.
I remember that You Tianlong was handsome and handsome, and he was also a famous local scholar. At that time, there were many wealthy daughters who admired his talent and wanted to marry him. But You Tianlong was arrogant and had a unique vanity.
Although he could become a rich man by marrying the daughter of a wealthy family, You Tianlong always wanted to prove his ability to everyone through his own efforts, so he rejected all the confessions of the daughter.
Sometimes, if the opportunity is missed, it is gone.
Later, You Tianlong worked hard, but unfortunately failed.
At that time, everyone made fun of You Tianlong, saying that he wanted to save face and suffer.
Faced with the ridicule of everyone, You Tianlong knew that he could not gain a foothold in the city, so he had to run back to the countryside in despair. From then on, he lived in Qingshui Village and lived an ordinary farming life.
In order to make a living, You Tianlong reclaimed several acres of wasteland in the back mountains; in addition, he often went to the river to catch fish, and he could barely fill his stomach with these trivial incomes.
Five years have passed.
You Tianlong was twenty-three years old at this time.
Since You Tianlong returned to the village, the villagers have seen that he is quite educated, so whenever there is a happy event at home, they will ask You Tianlong to help write couplets; but You Tianlong is very enthusiastic and never refuses, so after a few years, You Tianlong is here Popularity in the village is good.
The villagers saw You Tianlong’s talent and thought that he had not yet married, so some kind-hearted people came to talk to matchmakers.
Soon, neighbor Aunt Liu introduced Zhao Jinhua, a widow from the neighboring village, to You Tianlong.
Although Zhao Jinhua has been widowed for many years, she is young and beautiful, hardworking and virtuous, and adheres to women's ethics; she is also a good match for You Tianlong.
Who knows that You Tianlong disagrees.
After learning about this, Widow Zhao was very angry.
She thought about how beautiful she was, how many rich people had wanted to take her as their concubine? But she didn't agree; now that she could let go of her status, she was willing to marry into the You family; but You Tianlong, on the other hand, not only didn't appreciate it, but refused in public.
Widow Zhao felt that she had lost face, so she came angrily to ask for punishment.
"Young Master You, I don't think you are poor, but you dislike me?"
No matter how much Widow Zhao scolded you, You Tianlong remained silent.
In the end, Widow Zhao had no choice but to return disappointed.
Since this incident, the villagers began to look at You Tianlong in a strange way, always thinking that there was something wrong with him.
You Tianlong doesn’t care.
Two years have passed.
That night, You Tianlong couldn't sleep for a while, so he went for a walk in the backyard alone.
Suddenly, he heard movement.
It turns out that the neighbor Aunt Liu has a guest at her house.
However, You Tianlong was very curious. How could there be visitors in the middle of the night?
So he peeked through the crack in the wall and found that the distinguished guest was actually a young and beautiful woman.
is beautiful, so beautiful.
That night, You Tianlong didn't sleep all night.
It turns out that the figure of the woman in red has been floating in his mind. What is the relationship between this woman and Aunt Liu?
It will soon be dawn.
Not long after You Tianlong got up, Aunt Liu knocked on the door hard.
It turned out that Aunt Liu’s house had no firewood, so she wanted to borrow a bundle from him.
You Tianlong immediately agreed and took the initiative to come to Aunt Liu's house with a bundle of firewood.
At this time, the woman in red was embroidering clothes in the yard.
Suddenly, the two looked at each other for a long time.
Then the woman lowered her head shyly.
Later, Aunt Liu told You Tianlong that the woman in red was called Xiaohong, and she was her adopted daughter. She had a quarrel with her son-in-law, so she ran back to her parents' house to relax.
felt a sense of loss when he heard that Xiaohong was married.
Unexpectedly, half a month later, Aunt Liu died suddenly.
Thinking that Aunt Liu had taken good care of him during his lifetime, but now that Aunt Liu had passed away, You Tianlong took the initiative to help Xiaohong and arrange for Aunt Liu's funeral.
What puzzles You Tianlong is that Aunt Liu is supposedly dead, but Xiaohong continues to stay.
Until one day, You Tianlong couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to ask Xiaohong.
Xiaohong didn’t hide anything, she told the truth truthfully.
It turns out that Aunt Liu lied. Xiaohong was not married at all, but her daughter was too beautiful. Since her daughter returned to the village, people often came to harass her.
In order to cut off these people's evil thoughts, Aunt Liu and Xiaohong discussed it and unanimously announced that their daughter was married.
Thinking that Aunt Liu is gone, it is not easy for Xiaohong to live a life as a weak woman, so You Tianlong helps from time to time.
came and went, and the two became familiar with each other.
At this moment, You Tianlong has fallen in love with Xiao Hong.
Although Xiaohong knows You Tianlong's intentions, Xiaohong has been avoiding this relationship.
It wasn’t until one day that You Tianlong knew that Xiaohong’s identity was unusual.
It is said that late that night, You Tianlong went down to the river to catch fish.
had just finished his work and was about to take a rest when he unexpectedly heard a series of chaotic chicken crows coming from the backyard of Xiaohong's house.
You Tianlong didn’t pay attention at first, but he found a few roosters flying into his yard.
There won’t be any thieves, right?
But he didn’t hear Xiaohong’s cry for help, so he couldn’t rush in rashly.
After thinking about it, he came to the backyard and secretly climbed over the wall to peek.
Never expected that there would be two beauties in Xiaohong’s family, and they would tear off the cock with their own hands.
At this time, he was so frightened that he accidentally rolled from the wall to the ground.
After hearing the noise, Xiaohong and the others rushed over immediately.
Xiaohong took a closer look and saw that it was Young Master You.
Just when she was hesitating about how to deal with it, the woman in white said coldly: "Sister, he must have seen it just now. He must not be left alive."
The woman in green continued: "Second sister is right, eldest sister, we are fox demons , I am worried that I will get into trouble if my identity is known."
After listening to the conversation between the three of them, You Tianlong realized that Xiao Hong was a fox demon.
But Xiaohong couldn’t bear to do it.
Seeing their elder sister in a daze, the two younger sisters said, "Sister, don't you like Mr. Shangyou?"
Xiaohong nodded.
The woman in white smiled and said, "Sister, you should have told me earlier!"
Then she pinched You Tianlong's neck and said fiercely: "Young Master You, since my sister is reluctant to kill you, then I can spare your life. , but you must marry my sister. Only in this way will you keep the secret. You must know that if others find out that you are married to the fox demon, you will know the consequences."
You Tianlong couldn't laugh or cry. In order to save his life, he had to agree. .
Perhaps the two of them were worried that You Tianlong would regret it, so they escorted him and his sister to the church to get married that night.
In this way, You Tianlong lost his boyhood.
However, after the two got married, their lives got better and better.
