There are twin siblings in Luojia Village, one is Xiuyue and the other is promoted continuously. They have lost their parents since childhood and have a very difficult life. In order to support my younger brother's study, Xiuyue spins and weaves clothes day and night, and she suffered from eye disease as a teenager, and she could not see anything clearly.
Maybe God is loved by God, the appearance of the siblings is outstanding. The sister is sinking into fish and geese, and the younger brother is handsome and elegant. He is known as the "flower and leaf" of Luojia Village. According to the rules at that time, Luo Xiuyue could participate in beauty pageants at the age of sixteen. If she was lucky, she could also be selected as a concubine and enjoy wealth.
As soon as the palace beauty selection order was released, various places began to hire painters to paint portraits of the girls and send them to the palace for the primary election. There was a Wu County Magistrate who was greedy for money and lustful, and did everything he wanted. When he saw Xiuyue's portrait, he was immediately shocked. He was brave and had selfish desires and wanted to take her for himself.
So, the magistrate of Wu County instructed the painter to make minor adjustments to the portrait and add a tear mole to Xiuyue's portrait. You should know that the empress dowager at that time was very superstitious and no one with a "crying look" in the corner of his eyes was allowed to enter the palace. Naturally, Yuexiu lost the election.
This is a worry for the siblings. You should know that if you can pass the painting, you can get 100 taels of silver, which can be used for promotion and taking the exam. This money is even if she spins the yarn for half her life, she can't sell it enough. While the siblings were sighing, a matchmaker came to the house and said that the magistrate of Wu County wanted to be a young man.
After hearing this, Xiuyue was shocked. The infamous reputation of the magistrate of Wu County had long been spread throughout the countryside. He said he had a quirk and often tortured his wives and concubines to death in bed. Hua Niang and the young man in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion were afraid that he would be nervous. Several times, the husband saw that a yamen runner carried out several men and women from his backyard, swept them with straw, and threw them to the mass grave.
"No, no, no, the little woman has already talked about her husband's family and will hold a wedding soon. I also ask my aunt to be kind and report back to the county magistrate, thanking him for his wrong love." Xiuyue smiled carefully, and tried to fool him.
After that, the magistrate of Wu County was not a fool, so he immediately sent someone to arrest the brother and brother and both of them. I originally wanted to use my younger brother to force my sister to submit, but when I saw Lian Sheng's appearance, I couldn't take my eyes away for a moment. The abominable magistrate Wu actually came up with a dirty idea and simply married the siblings together!
Xiuyue was a tough girl since she was a child and she was unwilling to do so, so the magistrate of Wu County sent someone to lock them up in the woodshed together, not giving them food or drink, to see how many days they could last. Xiuyue wanted to show her ambitions by death, but she couldn't bear to let her brother die and be humiliated, so she proposed to marry herself and let her brother go home, and she had to provide him with five taels of silver tuition every month.
The magistrate of Wu County thought about it and said that he was not sweet. Although Lian Sheng was handsome, he was a boy. He was only in one or two days of interest. How could he compare to a beautiful woman like Xiuyue? So he agreed to Xiuyue's request and also gave him a tuition fee of three consecutive years of promotion at one time.
After returning home, Lian Sheng thought of his sister's sacrifice and cried bitterly. Since then, he has started to study hard and has been praised by the teachers and has been repeatedly praised by the teachers. With the supply of Wu County Magistrate, his life has been much better. Everyone in the school knows that he is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate's family and can't afford to offend him, so he always flatters him.
Slowly, even Xing felt a strange arrogance. On the one hand, I hate the magistrate of Wu County who robbed his sister as his concubine, and on the other hand, I often regard myself as a relative of the magistrate. However, he was very smart and studied very hard. Finally, three years later, he won the first place and passed the exam.
The young Tanhualang has a beautiful appearance and a handsome tree, and is in the limelight for a while. However, he did not expect that he was born in poverty and had no one to take care of himself in the capital, so he was very unfavorable in his career. In the end, he had to be the prefect. Although he was even one of the first ranks than the magistrate of Wu County, he was a foreigner after all, so he could not compare with the official position of Beijing.
Lian Sheng was angry. The first thing he did after returning home was to throw his cheap brother-in-law Wu County Magistrate, and ordered people to find out his evil things one by one, and then write a memorandum to report it. I originally thought that the magistrate of Wu County would be beheaded and exterminated, but I didn't expect that there was a complicated relationship behind him. He was just dismissed from his official position and was exiled to serve as a military officer for 300 miles.
Although the unexpected effect was not achieved, I still took my sister out of the fire pit. Besides, Xiuyue, who was at the Wu County Magistrate's house, had been living a life worse than death for a few years, and she looked very haggard. However, after a few years of torture, she developed a thrilling beauty. Even after seeing him, he was a little confused.
At this time, something happened in the capital. The eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion accidentally fell off his horse because he went out to race horses with someone. He hit the ground and rescued him home. He asked the imperial doctor to recuperate for several months, but still did not wake up. Seeing that he could only do his funeral, the old prime minister was deeply saddened. My son, who has been obedient since he was a child, has both first-class literary and martial arts skills. He won the first place in the scientific examination. Seeing that he could inherit his legacy, this happened.
I think that my son is nearly twenty years old and has no marriage, so I can't help but be lonely when I get underground. So he made a sound, wanting to find a good innocent woman, who is about to die, and can get married to a ghost marriage, and be able to accompany the top scholar underground.
The rich and noble family in the capital have daughters. I heard that the prime minister's mansion wanted to marry a ghost marriage, so naturally I was unwilling to do so. There are women who are about to die in poor families, or in Hualiu Lane, but the prime minister's family doesn't like them. After a while, the top scholar died first.
Along with the continuous promotion, the career of the officialdom was not smooth, he was repeatedly criticized by Shangguan and his life was very unhappy. After hearing the news that the Prime Minister's Mansion was looking for someone to marry a ghost marriage, he was a little moved. After all, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion. Whoever can get to the door to have a kiss, even a gangster will have endless benefits in the future.
So, he made up his mind and took advantage of Xiuyue's inattention, putting her sweat medicine into her food, and then hung her on the beam of the house, making her hang herself. Unexpectedly, shortly after the person was hung up, the maid at home bumped into him. He quickly looked panicked, took off his sister in a hurry, and cried loudly: "Sister, that beast named Wu has been retribution. Why are you so unconscious?"
Silently exploring his breath, and he had indeed died of anger. He lied to the outside world that Xiuyue, Sanzhen and Jiulie, hanged himself. Then, he wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, explaining the matter and expressing his intention to marry. The old prime minister saw Xiuyue's deeds and said that he was a good woman, and it would be nice if he could be a wife for his family. So he sent someone to carry a white sedan chair, blow and beat Yuexiu's body into the door, and bury him with his son.
As for Liansheng, the Prime Minister naturally took care of him and asked the Ministry of Personnel to find an opportunity to transfer him back to the capital and find a position with real power. Lian Sheng was overjoyed and went home to drink and celebrate that night.
Let me talk about the Prime Minister's Mansion, I first organized a ghost marriage, and then started to do the 7749-day water and land temple, and invited monks from Leiyin Temple outside the city to save their son and daughter-in-law. After a few days like this, the maid who had added sesame oil to the evening suddenly heard a sound from the coffin, which was so scared that she was lost and shouted.
The Prime Minister came to see it and saw that he really heard the "sheep" cry, which was so desolate. The monk who was doing the ritual said that maybe the young lady was unwilling to accept her heart and was in trouble. The Prime Minister's wife said angrily, "She is still unwilling to accept it?! If the Prime Minister hadn't insisted, how could I let this second-hand product dirty my son's coffin?" So, he asked someone to nail a few peach wood nails to the coffin, and he had to seal the "villain girl".
For several days, the coffin was in a fierce manner, sometimes crying, sometimes slapping the lid of the coffin, scaring everyone in the prime minister's mansion.The most terrifying thing was that on the fourth day, a man's cough even came from the coffin.
The people rushed around and told each other, "I'm cheating, and I'm going to have two more people at a time!" The old prime minister came back from handling official business. After hearing this, he quickly ordered someone to open the coffin. Sure enough, the man and the woman in the coffin were all warm, but they were very weak.
So, I quickly found a doctor to take the pulse of the two of them . The doctor said, these are all living people, but their aura is a little weaker. The Prime Minister's wife cried with joy and cried bitterly while holding her son. The top scholar said ignorantly that he had died, but at some point, he heard a woman beside him crying all the time. The sound was nice and sad, so he wanted to open his eyes to see who it was...
Now, the funeral in the prime minister's house was a happy event, and the old prime minister sighed that this daughter-in-law was well married. He immediately ordered people to remove the white cloth, hang lanterns and red silk, and send wedding invitations, saying that they would hold wedding events for their son. This incident alarmed the entire capital, and even the emperor sent people to greet him and rewarded many gifts.
On the wedding day, almost all the civil and military officials from the court came to have a wedding banquet, and even Sheng was shameless and wanted to come to join in the fun. But someone beat him out, and the old prime minister scolded, "You are so kind to be worthy of hiding with my family? Please wait!"
The next day, I submitted a memorandum to the emperor and reported the truth I learned from Xiuyue in detail. After seeing this, Thunder Ting was furious and lamented that there were such shameless people in the world who were kind to repay their grudges. So, the promoted officials were immediately dismissed and sent to the frontier as a hardworking laborer.
Coincidentally, the place where the successive promotions happened to be with the magistrate of Wu County. It is said that the magistrate of Wu County, who was taken care of by someone there, was already the leader of the prisoners, as if he was dominating the country. What will happen to him when the situation is coming to his hands? Let's not talk about it for now. Xiuyue finally managed to see the moon brightly and married the top scholar. The couple loved each other and lived together until they were old.
