Hong Wen from Hongjia Village got married and he married an ugly woman. This ugly woman is not a local, but a foreigner, who fled to the famine and came here.
Hong Wen didn't know an ugly girl at first. One morning, an aunt from the Hong family village came to Hong Wen's house and told Hong Wen that an ugly girl who fled to famine came to the neighboring village. Does Hong Wen want to marry an ugly girl?
Hong Wen is a bachelor in Hongjia Village. He is already 29 years old. The children of men who are as old as him are all older. To be honest, Hong Wen dreamed of marrying his wife, but he was old and a pauper, so no woman in the local area wanted to marry him.
Now, he has the opportunity to marry a wife, how could he miss this opportunity? So he told his aunt that he was willing to marry an ugly girl.
Aunt said, "This way, I will take you to the neighboring village to find an ugly girl now."
Hong Wen said, "Okay, I'll go to the neighboring village with you."
Aunt took Hong Wen to the neighboring village, and soon found the ugly girl. The aunt pointed at Hong Wen and said to the ugly girl, "This man is willing to marry you, are you willing to marry him? If you are willing to marry him, you won't have to escape from the famine in the future."
Aunt said that, the ugly girl thought for a while and said, "I am willing to marry him."
The next day, Hong Wen and the ugly girl held a simple wedding.
After Hong Wen got married with an ugly girl, he cared about the ugly girl very much, which made the ugly girl who had been wandering outside feel the warmth of home.
The next year, the ugly girl gave birth to a son.
When the son of the ugly girl was two years old, the local old magistrate retired and returned home, and the new magistrate took office.
Shortly after the new magistrate took office, he led the yamen runners to visit everywhere.
One morning, the new magistrate brought a group of yamen runners to Hongjia Village. After they arrived in Hongjia Village, they visited door to door. When they entered Hong Wen's home, the new magistrate suddenly walked to the ugly girl and said, "Sister, I finally found you."
As soon as the new magistrate finished speaking, the ugly girl threw herself into the arms of the new magistrate and cried bitterly.
It turns out that the ugly girl and the new magistrate are brothers and sisters. Their father was an official of the court and was sentenced to be confiscated because he was framed by a treacherous minister. As a result, their parents died, they survived and came to another province. One day, they used disguise to change their face. In order to avoid the arrest of the imperial officers and soldiers, they left separately.
Three years ago, the old emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he eliminated the treacherous ministers and rehabilitated their father. Later, the new magistrate studied hard and passed the Jinshi exam. After he passed the imperial examination, he was sent by the court to the county where Hong Wen was located to become the magistrate. After he took office, he led the yamen runners to look for ugly girls in the county. Although he didn't have much hope, he wouldn't give up with a glimmer of hope. As a result, he really found an ugly girl in Hongjia Village.
The ugly girl and the new magistrate recognised each other, she used disguise to restore her original appearance. When Hong Wen looked at the ugly girl again, the ugly girl had become a beauty.
Soon, Hong Wen and the ugly girl took their son to the county town. With the help of the new magistrate, they opened a shop in the county town. Since people in the county town knew their relationship with the new magistrate, they went to the shops they opened to buy things. Two years later, Hong Wen and the ugly girl became the most wealthy person in the county.
