Ming Dynasty During the Jiajing period, there was an old man named Cheng in western Zhejiang. He has been engaged in business for generations. By the time Cheng Weng’s generation, the gold and silver in his family have accumulated into small hills, and the millet in the grain stocks are eroded and cannot be eaten up. There are ten miles and eight villages, and they are always windy when walking.

Cheng Weng has many wives and concubines, but maybe he lost his health when he was young. He didn't give birth to a son until he was forty years old. He was very spoiled and named him Zhenlang.
Zhenlang was 16 years old and was extremely heroic, but he was a little unruly and had a little unruly personality. Weng Cheng was worried that his son would go astray, so he wanted to marry a virtuous wife for him and restrain his behavior.
At that time, there was a junior in western Zhejiang named Zhao. He had a wealthy family and had an only daughter in the family named Yuhuan. He was talented. Since he was seven years old, Mr. Zhao found a famous local scholar to teach her how to study. By the age of twelve, he was already very proficient in literature and history books. He often hated that he was a daughter and could not pass the exam and was the leader.
After the age of thirteen, Zhao Yuanwai stopped asking her to study, and instead studied female workers in the room. For more than a year, she drew dragons and pricked phoenixes, and was lifelike. The old embroiderer who had been immersed in this art for many years also praised her.

When I was sixteen years old, my face was like peach blossoms, my eyes were flowing, my eyebrows were as dark as distant, my skin was as creamy as my skin was as beautiful as ten miles away, and I could never find a girl that could be compared with it. Fuji, a wealthy family who came to propose marriage, almost broke through the threshold of the Zhao family, but Mr. Zhao couldn't even see it, so the marriage was delayed.
This year, Zhenlang made an appointment with a few friends to go outing together, and happened to meet Yuhuan and also took her maid to play. Zhenlang saw Yuhuan from afar, his eyes straightened, staring at Yuhuan straight, without moving, until she disappeared from her own vision. The friend next to
saw Zhenlang's strangeness and deliberately teased, "Brother Cheng, have you been hooked by the beauty?"
Zhenlang was very excited and asked quickly, "Do you know which family this woman is? If you can marry her, you will be willing to live ten years less!"

, the friend took over the conversation. : "Brother Cheng has such a good vision. This is Zhao Yuanwai's daughter. Her small name is Yuhuan. She is a famous beauty with a radius of 180 miles. The people who are asking for marriage are like crucian carp in a river, but no one can be assured. I see Brother Cheng's romantic and handsome, and he is a natural pair with the Zhao family. He is a pair of ground."
everyone burst into laughter and joked. Zhenlang took this matter to his heart. After returning home, he told his father about his thoughts. Cheng Weng never went against his son's wishes, so he immediately came to the Zhao family to propose marriage.
Zhao Yuanwai only said that his daughter is unparalleled in beauty and is naturally intelligent. She refused to marry her to an ordinary man easily, so she must choose a person with both talent and beauty as her son-in-law.
Cheng Weng was slander, but Mr. Zhao disagreed. He was angry and left. After he came back, he promised to marry a woman who was a hundred times stronger than Yuhuan as his wife. But Zhenlang recognized Yuhuan and shouted that he would not marry her, and even went on a hunger strike.
Cheng Weng was afraid that his son would be so good, so he had to put down his old face and come to propose marriage again. After repeated five or six times, Mr. Zhao finally agreed to the marriage and chose a good day to marry his daughter to the Cheng family in a grand manner.

In the first few months, Zhenlang favored Yuhuan very much and obeyed his words, but the education they experienced was different after all. Yuhuan himself had the ambition to gain fame, so how could he be willing to be a mediocre man? So he repeatedly advised him to study and learn, but he was not allowed to continue to interact with his friends who were irrelevant. Zhenlang didn't say it, and he was already very annoyed.
A year after marriage, the originally passionate love had long been wiped out by the trivialities of life. Zhenlang could not continue to endure Yuhuan's discipline, so he continued to do business and came to Jiangnan for a trip with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

On this day, Zhenlang was strolling on the street, and an embroidered handkerchief suddenly fell on his shoulder. Looking up, he saw a charming woman in the attic smiling at her. Zhenlang was moved and quickly asked the pedestrian for the name of the woman and learned that she was Aizhu, the daughter of the prostitute.
Zhenlang is familiar with this. Before marrying Yuhuan, Zhenlang was a regular visitor in Fireworks and Willow Lane. After getting married, he also secretly visited the opportunity. After being discovered by Yuhuan, the two quarreled over this matter.
At this moment, no one was in charge of the situation, so he turned around and entered the yard. At this time, Aizhu had already come down from the attic. When he saw Zhenlang entering the door, he greeted him with a smile. His hairpin was shining, which made Zhenlang fascinated.
Relying on countless experiences, Aizhu could see at a glance that the man in front of her was extraordinary. She led him to her embroidery room, arranged a table of good wine and food, and then invited Huan Feiyanshou to have fun with Zhenlang.
songs are in harmony with silk and bamboo. The fragrance of wine and incense are combined together, which makes Zhenlang dizzy and almost forget where he is. Several people compete to show off, but there is only Aizhu in Zhenlang's eyes. He whispered: "Once the vast sea is hard to make water, but Wushan is not clouds."

s0some sisters saw Zhenlang's intentions, and after enjoying it, they left one after another, leaving time for the two. No one was interested in what happened next, so I won't go into details here.
Zhenlang experienced unprecedented happiness here at Aizhu, and unlike Yuhuan, no matter what Zhenlang said, Aizhu felt that it was extremely correct. No matter what Zhenlang made, Aizhu clapped and praised it. Zhenlang's feelings for Aizhu were getting warmer, so he simply stayed up.
Spring Courtyard is a gold-selling cave. Zhenlang lived for more than a year and the funds he brought were gradually spent. Aizhu was very worried about this. Zhenlang comforted him and said, "Although my family cannot be said to be rich enough to rival a country, it is also the best in western Zhejiang. Money is just a game to me. You wait for me here, I will go home and get more money and come to you."
Aizhu was very reluctant and cried and said, "I have given all my body and mind to you, and my heart is already dark. I secretly swear that I will never serve a second man in my life. If you make a new love after you go back and forget the agreement with me, then where should I go? "
Zhenlang wiped away the tears from her face and said emotionally: "My friendship with you is understandable. If you live up to your expectations, I will not die well."
Aizhu covered his mouth: "I don't want you to die, I want you to live well, I just want you to leave a token to meet again in the future Token of "

Zhenlang smiled and said, "All my valuable things have been sent to your house. Now there is nothing worthy of being a token?"
Aizhu shook his head: "I don't want those amulets. If you really love me, please give me a tooth to show your determination to fulfill your promise."
Zhenlang covered his cheeks, and because he was afraid of pain, he refused to chisel his teeth. Aizhu kept crying: "I know I was born in a low-key and could not be worthy of a genius like you. I have pity for me, why do you have a beautiful dream? I hope you will truly love me?"
Aizhu's tears were like a kite with a broken string. Zhenlang felt extremely sad. He gritted his teeth, and he dug a piece of his teeth and gave it to Aizhu. Aizhu then burst into tears and smiled, carefully stored his teeth in the dressing table, and then held a banquet to see Zhenlang off.
Before leaving, Aizhu sent Zhenlang to the ferry and repeatedly told him that Zhenlang would not forget the agreement. Zhenlang swears to the sky, and the two hugged each other. Aizhu's tears wet Zhenlang's clothes, and Zhenlang couldn't help crying. The boatman urged him four or five times before the two could part.
After returning home, Zhenlang took Aizhu as his concubine desperately. Yuhuan insisted on disagreeing. Zhenlang sent her back to her parents' home with a divorce letter. Cheng Weng was heartbroken and advised: "How many loves the money tree in the spring courtyard can have? They just like your gold, silver and treasures, not your true love. How can you abandon your virtuous wife for a woman you met by chance?"

Zhenlang argued with reason: "Yuzhu and I truly love each other. She is not the person you think. No matter what I do, she will support me without hesitation. Unlike Yuhuan, which only hinders me, my intentions have been settled and will never change."
Cheng Weng could not stop his son, so he let Zhenlang spend 20,000 taels of silver to rebuild a house, buy a new house, and then brought a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, filled a whole boat. It took nearly ten days to arrive in Jiangnan.
When he was about to land, he suddenly remembered the conversation with his father and wanted to test whether Aizhu was sincere to him. So he took off his brocade and jade shirt, changed into a dirty and dirty clothes, and used mud to wipe himself into a dusty face, with a undressed wooden stick, and a broken bowl. He came to Aizhu's house all the way.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Aizhu sitting on the lap of a fat rich businessman feeding wine. Aizhu turned her head and saw Zhenlang's brows immediately frowned: "Em, how do you watch the door? Such a dirty beggar also put it in, disturbing the guests' elegance. Are you guilty?"
An old mother immediately ran over and drove Zhenlang out with a wooden stick. Zhenlang hurriedly took off her messy hair, tried to squeeze out her smile, and said, "Don't drive, don't drive, sister doesn't know me anymore, I am Zhenlang!"
The old mother stopped hearing this, Aizhu also carefully identified it, and asked in surprise: "It's you? I haven't seen you for a while, why are you so down and out? "

Zhenlang sighed and said, "When I went back, I met a robber, and my property was robbed. Fortunately, they did not hurt my life, so I can only rush back to see you."
Aizhu wondered, "You are already like this, why are you coming back to me for?"
Zhenlang said, "Since I parted with you, I have never made an agreement with you. Now I am specially rushing back to fulfill my original oath."
Aizhu seemed to have heard some big joke, and she couldn't stand up: "I was born in a gold and silver nest, and I have been furious since I was a child. , Are you expecting me to go home with you as a beggar woman? "
Zhenlang refused to leave, Aizhu said impatiently, "Em, are you blind? Why don't you drive this beggar away quickly? If you still stay with me, you will ask the evil dog to bite his leg. "
Zhenzhu is still unwilling to give up and begged, "Sister is merciful. I haven't eaten for three days. Please be kind and give up my bowl of rice. I will leave immediately after I finish eating."
The old mother was also a little embarrassed, turned her head and looked at Aizhu, and said tentatively, "Girl, why don't you give up his bowl of rice?"
Aizhu's eyebrows were raised and she stared at him and scolded, "I'm a gentle place, and It’s not a charity shop. If you want to go to someone else’s house, why don’t you get out of here?”
zhenhuang’s eyes completely dimmed. He finally said, “Since your kindness has been cut off, please return my teeth to me.”

Aizhu sneered and asked the maid to take out a wooden box from his dressing table and throw it to Zhenhuang, saying, “It’s just a broken tooth, and it’s something to treat it as a treasure. No, find it yourself.”
zhenzhen took the wooden box and opened it. She found that it was full of many teeth. Her face was so purple that she suddenly threw the wooden box to the ground, turned her head and left.
Aizhu smiled from behind and said, "Just a beggar, she has such a big temper." A silver bell-like laughter came, and Zhen Huang clenched her fists, and her knuckles were pinched to the point of white.
The next day, Zhenhuang changed into brocade clothes and jade clothes, asked someone to move all the treasures he brought to Aizhu's house one by one, and burned them all in front of her. There was a bed made of agarwood , which was exquisite and transparent, and was worth thousands of taels of silver. After it was lit, the flames soared into the sky, and the fragrance spread ten streets.
Aizhu saw Zhen Huang so generous, and was ashamed and regretful. She asked Zhen Huang to get back together. She was humiliated by Zhen Huang and hanged herself after she came back.
Aizhu died and was thrown into the wilderness by the brothel. After hearing this, the old mother went to ask Zhenhuang for help. Zhenhuang buried Aizhu with great burial and never set foot in the south of the Yangtze River again...
