Episode 0: In a county under the jurisdiction of Hejian Prefecture, there is a scholarly child named Yang Huiyuan. His father died early and only mother and son lived in the family. When he was 16 years old, his mother decided to make the decision to make Jiao Yurong, the daughter of Jiao Guiming, the county’s teaching teacher Jiao Guiming, a wife. The Yang family is the only one who is the only one. Yang's mother has long been looking forward to holding her grandson. She wanted to get a matchmaker to urge her to get married several times, but the Jiao family's wife died suddenly and was filial to her. The marriage has been delayed for more than two years.
After autumn, matchmaker Li's mother came to Jiao Guiming's words: Both children are old, and the Yang family is allowed to carry the marriage before the New Year. Yang's mother was happy when she heard this, and she was busy with people watching the days, cleaning the room and buying wedding supplies, and she was busy for a while.
On this day, Yang Huiyuan went out to do business. Yang's mother was alone at home, and a Zhang Po came. This Zhang Po specializes in matching, recruiting and practicing witches. She is a hundred families of meals . Her mouth can make people die and turn men into women.
Yang Huiyuan asked her to see a doctor when she was a child and recognized her as her godmother. When the kid comes to her house, Yang's mother is particularly enthusiastic about her, and she serves snacks and tea. During the chat, Zhang Po asked Huiyuan which family he married, and Yang's mother said that she was the daughter of scholar Jiao Guiming.
When Zhang Po heard this, she screamed in surprise: "Oh, why is it her--" As soon as she said halfway through the sentence, she suddenly stopped talking and stopped talking.
When Yang's mother heard that she was wrong, she asked her how the girl in the Jiao family was doing. Po Zhang just hesitated and wanted to speak but stopped. Seeing this, Yang's mother became more suspicious and insisted on breaking the pot and asking the end.
Zhang Po took enough scattering, and then said to Yang's mother: "If it were other families, I wouldn't say anything. Since my godson married her, I would just say it straightforward: I heard earlier that the girl was misbehaving and had an affair with Wang Wenjian in the same alley, and I didn't believe it. Two months ago, Wang Wenjian called me at night. What do you think you are doing? What are you doing? He was so evil! He asked me to help the abortion for the Jiao girl..."
She said so well that she had a nose and eyes, and Yang's mother couldn't help but believe it.
Seeing that the purpose had been achieved, Zhang Po stood up and said goodbye. But Yang's mother looked like a fly swallowing in her eyes. She didn't want to swallow, and she couldn't spit it out, and she sat on the chair and felt a little furious. After she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she felt that Zhang Po had always been a bit unreliable and could not believe it deeply, so she didn't mention it to her son, but she had a lot of heart problems.
Not long after, a classmate of Yang Huiyuan got married. He went to congratulate him and met Wang Wenjian at the wedding banquet.
Wang Wenjian and Yang Huiyuan's father-in-law Jiao Guiming live in the same alley. Although this person has no idea, he likes to play and is good at taking photos. He has become a minor official in the yamen and learns some skills to bully the superiors and subordinates.
He didn't know who he had a drink with today. After drinking a few more glasses, he came over staggeringly and wanted to drink with Yang Huiyuan. Yang Huiyuan despised his character and was very disgusted, so he politely refused, but Wang Wenjian was still nagging and entangled.
Yang Huiyuan pulled away, and Wang Wenjian followed him again, and even pulled Yang Huiyuanhun in the alcohol and said, "Do you recognize me? Do you still look down on me? I recognize you! Are you the son-in-law of the Jiao family? We both have a pomegranate skirt. Although that girl - although promised to you - you, let me - taste - fresh, and I have half of it."
Yang Huiyuan was insulted in public, and his lungs were almost irritated. Before Wang Wenjian could finish speaking, he slapped him in the face and then left the table angrily.
Seeing that her son had returned from outside and looked bad, Yang's mother came over to ask, but no matter how she asked, she didn't find any good news.
sighed and said, "If you don't say it, I know it's a gossip about the Jiao girl. I've heard of this long ago." Then he told his son what Zhang Po said.
Yang Huiyuan had never seen Jiao Yurong at all, and he didn't know her character. After hearing her mother's words, he believed it and turned pale with anger. He could no longer hold back his control, so he opened the box, found the Jiao family's Geng letter, and went to the matchmaker.
Matchmakers Li Ma and Jiao Guiming live not far away. Yang Huiyuan didn't find Li Ma, so he went straight into Jiao's house. Jiao Guiming saw his son-in-law suddenly coming to the door, and his face was dark again, and he was confused.
Before he could ask questions, Yang Huiyuan had already spoken: "My nephew is low-level and shallow, and he is not worthy of Ling Ai. Now my mother is allowed to give up this marriage. Please climb to the higher gate!" After that, he threw down Geng Tie and wanted to leave, but Jiao Guiming grabbed his sleeve.
"Son-in-law, why is this? Even if you want to withdraw from the marriage, you must tell me clearly!"
"You father and daughter know more than me, so why do you have to let me speak again?" Yang Huiyuan pulled off his sleeve and left angrily.
Jiao Yurong heard the voices and came to visit her, and seemed to be so angry when she saw her father. After asking about what had just happened, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry when she saw the returned Geng Tie. She felt aggrieved and couldn't stand it. She threw herself on the kang and cried.
Jiao Guiming was furious and thoughtless, so he went to the county government office to hit drum , accusing Yang Huiyuan of resigning from his marriage for no reason, which made his daughter humiliated and asked the county government office to make decisions for him.
County magistrate sent someone to send Yang Huiyuan and asked him why he retired. Yang Huiyuan said angrily: "His daughter is misbehaving and has done something ugly. Why should I drink other people's foot wash water?"
County magistrate asked him what basis was, and Yang Huiyuan took out Wang Wenjian's words after drinking and what Zhang Po told his mother. After hearing this, the county magistrate sent the yamen runners to report that Wang Wenjian and Zhang Po were arrested.
Wang Wenjian works in the yamen and arrives as soon as he passes on.
County magistrate lowered his face and asked, "Is the matter of the Jiao girl you said after drinking that day?"
Wang Wenjian said, "That's a villain who talks nonsense after drinking, and it's nothing."
County magistrate said angrily, "Why are you talking nonsense, tarnishing the reputation of other girls and disrupting their marriage? If you don't come to the real world, be careful of your hard work!" Then the yamen runners put a stick on him.
Wang Wenjian called "Youzhao". The county magistrate ordered the yamen runner to put him on. He told him: "At the beginning, I saw that the girl was beautiful, so I gave birth to an evil heart. After several temptations and teasings, the girl was also moved and became interested. She secretly went to the private meeting while her father was away. It took a year and a half, and the private meetings were as many as dozens of times. Later, the girl became pregnant and went to ask Zhang Po for an abortion." After that, Lian Lian kowtowed to the county magistrate, saying that she was willing to bow her head and plead guilty, only asking for exemption from torture instruments.
Jiao Guiming listened, and was so angry that he was trembling all over. Although Wang Wenjian kept sitting in his house, he never neglected him in person because of his neighbor's face. However, his daughter was steady and polite, not frivolous. He would never have any affair. He immediately pointed at Wang Wenjian and scolded him, "Little Thorn (nickname of Wang Wenjian), are you talking nonsense, aren't you afraid of thunder? " html , county magistrate asked Wang Wenjian if there was a token for a private meeting. Wang Wenjian said, "Miss gives me a piece of underwear and an embroidered shoe. Every time I go to the meeting, she put in the embroidered shoes and she opened the door; the underwear is the first time the bed."
County Magistrate asked the yamen runner to take Wang Wenjian home to pick it up.
Zhang Po was brought to the court at this time.
The county magistrate asked her about abortion for a Jiao girl, and Zhang Po said, "I eat a hundred families, eat someone else's family, take someone else's family, and take someone else's family, and do things for others; do things that accumulate virtue, and do things that are not moral. There is indeed such a thing for abortion for a Jiao girl. It was a thorny boy who invited me to go. Afterwards, he gave me five taels of silver.
Her words made Jiao Guiming so angry that he pointed at Zhang Po tremblingly and scolded: "You are not heart-wrenching at your old age. What benefits do you get from others? Do you maliciously tarnish my daughter's reputation innocence? "
The two people argued in the hall.
When the yamen runner came with Wang Wenjian and presented Jiao Yurong's embroidered shoes and underwear in the hall, Jiao Guiming was stunned. Just as he was about to defend, the county magistrate had already sunk and said to Jiao Guiming: "Jiao Xiucai, no matter how stupid they are, they don't think they will just use shit basins to buckle their heads. You should go back and ask your daughter! ”
Then, he ordered Wang Wenjian to be arrested and then left the house.
Jiao Guiming fell into a big frustration in the hall, angry and ashamed, his eyes turned black, and he only regretted that he could get into the ground seamlessly. He staggered back home and fell on a chair.Seeing that his father returned in such a mess, Jiao Yurong hurried over to visit him.
Jiao Guiming's face turned yellow, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his lips trembled for a long time before he said to his daughter: "Rong'er, you have to tell the truth to the father. If it is true as they said, what is the face of the father? This time I lost all my face and I really can't swallow this!"
He told his daughter all the time about the interrogation in the lobby. Jiao Yurong was almost embarrassed and angry when he heard it.
She was stunned for a long time before she shyly said to her father, "I was lost in the yard with underwear and embroidered shoes, and was accidentally framed by Wang Wenjian! The child was injustice for no reason, and must try to defend his innocence, otherwise he will die with his eyes open!"
Jiao Guiming was still breathing, and struggled to stand up and said, "I will also wash away the slander of the father and I will go to court again and let the county magistrate verify my child in the court. I just don't know if my son can give up his face?"
Jiao Yurong had calmed down at this time. She thought about it again and again and said to her father: "Yes, since she set up such a careful trap, she must be a sinister and cunning person, and she has long had the intention of murdering my father and daughter. He can bribe people to commit perjury, and naturally he will bribe people from the public. In the court, it is impossible to defend her daughter's injustice, and she will leave a laughing stock for them. Don't hurt your liver and get angry. You must take care of your health. My daughter has its own way to defend her falsehood!"
At that moment, she suppressed her shame and anger and placed her father to rest and made arrangements.
At the morning of the next morning, Yurong came to Yang's door with the guidance of the matchmaker Li's mother. Yang's mother was spreading the scandal of her daughter-in-law who had never passed the door. She was angry at the house, but she heard the girl ask in the yard, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Mrs. Yang." When she asked, she saw a young woman lifting the curtain into the main hall.
Yang's mother looked at her eyes and saw that although the young woman was wearing plain clothes and light makeup, she was extremely pretty, with pink tears still left. When she was shocked and suspicious, the woman had already leaned forward and bowed, saying, "My daughter-in-law Jiao Yurong pays homage to her mother-in-law."
Yang's mother said her name when she heard her. I immediately felt angry and thought that I was indeed a good man, no wonder she attracted bees and butterflies! Then she said with anger, "Do you still think that defiling my family is lightly? I don't have a daughter-in-law like you. Let me go out!"
Although Jiao Yurong was mentally prepared, she was robbed and her face turned red with fire. She burst into tears and defended with tears: "I was originally an innocent yellow woman, who was framed for no reason. Her enemies were full of hands and eyes, set up traps, bribed certificates, and framed my daughter-in-law. Even if I had a hundred mouths, it was difficult to tell the difference. I could not clear myself even if I jumped into Yellow River , and I couldn't wash myself clearly. I was helpless. Then he came to the door and asked you to tell me your innocence. "
Yang's mother scolded angrily: "The county magistrate has examined and asked clearly. There are evidences and physical evidence. Can you still be wronged? Don't bother me!"
Jiao Yurong said: "Although they can smear the feces and spray feces, they frame me, and their daughter-in-law still has a virgin body to be a true evidence. Please check it on the spot!" After that, she turned around and closed the door, closed the window, then went to bed, put down the tent, and took off her clothes in it.
Yang's mother did not expect her move and didn't know what to do for a moment. It was not until Yurong called her in the tent that she passed by in a timber.
Jiao Yurong shyly cried and said, "My daughter-in-law gave up her face today, in order to distinguish her integrity. Instead of taking off her clothes and showing her ugliness in front of the official media, it is better to be naked in front of the mother-in-law, so that you can always see clearly and understand. The daughter-in-law is not wronged!"
She saw Yang's mother standing in the tent and said in tears: "This move is related to my reputation for life and death. You can't bear to ignore it. I beg you! So she kowtowed to touch the bed with her head at Yang's mother.
Yang's mother was moved, raised her legs and went to the bed, looked at the girl's jade body one by one, and examined the results. The girl was indeed a pure and innocent virgin body without any stains.
Yang's mother suddenly felt enlightened like a mirror. She couldn't help but say with anger: "This person can also eat long grass and donkey dung. She squirted about dog shit, so she didn't think it was dirty!"
She handed the clothes to Jiao Yurong and said gently: "Child, I really feel wronged. Put on your clothes quickly."
Then she put the tent on her hand and returned to the chair to sit down.
In an instant, Jiao Yurong put on her dress and came out of the tent. Yang's mother hurriedly asked her to sit down and talk. Jiao Yurong's cheeks seemed to burn, and tears flowed down her eyes.
She knelt on the ground at Yang's mother and said in tears: "I don't want to force you to be your old daughter-in-law. It's today when you enter the door, and it's today when you go out. I just want my mother-in-law and Huiyuan to say justice for me, so I can't be grateful." After saying that, she stood up and covered her face and rushed out of the main hall. Yang's mother couldn't stop her.
Jiao Yurong ran to the yard and happened to be full of collision with a young man coming in from outside. The man was wearing a long robe, quiet and elegant. Yurong guessed that it must be his husband Yang Huiyuan, so she couldn't help but glance at him, and just faced Yang Huiyuan's gaze. There were so many resentments, so much pain, so much hatred, and so much affection in her eyes. However, she could not make a word when face to face, so she ran out of the door with tears in her eyes.
Yang Huiyuan saw the woman coming out of her mother's room, her cheeks were red and her autumn waves were filled with tears, so he guessed that it was Jiao Yurong. This is the first time he met his wife who has not been through the door! I thought it was indeed good, but unfortunately my character was a little bad!
He entered the upper room and asked his mother why Jiao Yurong came to the door. Yang's mother felt guilty and said tremblingly: "What a sin! Your daughter-in-law... I just came to the door to take off her clothes and let me test her body... It's the body of an innocent daughter... You and I have been deceived!"
Yang Huiyuan was extremely shocked when he heard this. After thinking about it, he blamed himself for being reckless in doing things, ashamed and regretful. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and bowed to ask his mother for advice. After careful discussion between the mother and the son, they decided that Yang Huiyuan would apologize to the Jiao family, get the Geng letter and determine the wedding date.
When she was about to leave, Yang's mother repeatedly reminded: "My family is a family that is knowledgeable about etiquette. The mistake is on our side. If something unexpected happens again, our sins will be a big deal. The father and daughter are wronged and humiliated. Even if they are angry with you, you must be patient and endure it!"
Yang Huiyuan came to the Jiao family with apologies and entered the main room. Seeing that there were many people in the room, his father-in-law Jiao Guiming was snuggling on the chair and lowering his head to shed tears. The neighbors advised each other.
He knelt down at Jiao Guiming with guilt and said, "It's all because my son-in-law is confused for a moment, believing in other people's words, which makes the father-in-law's family wronged and wronged. Now my son-in-law has known it, so he comes to apologize. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me this time!"
Jiao Guiming raised his head, burst into tears, and said, "No need to say it. Rong'er returned from your house and went to the nun to be a nun without hiding it. These are what she left for you." As he said that, he took a tray from the table and handed it to Huiyuan tremblingly.
When Yang Huiyuan looked closely, he saw a ball of black hair in the tray, and his returned Geng Tie was placed on it.
He took the Geng Post and saw that there was a jade-faced handwriting on the back, which read:
My daughter was unfilial and she broke off her relationship with the world.
has lost all face and can be distinguished by innocence.
cut off the black hair and leave it to Huiyuan.
Daughter Yurong
Yang Huiyuan looked at it and felt even more ashamed and hated. He trembled with his hands, put these two things in his arms one by one, and said to Guiming with tears in his eyes: "I want to find her in the temple. Please take care of her!" After that, he walked out and walked out.
Yang Huiyuan came to the nunnery and went straight into the nun. Suddenly, he saw Jiao Yurong kneeling in front of the old nun and begging for taking in. I saw that she had no braids on her head, no silk skirt on her body, her face was pale, and she was tortured like a peacock whose feathers were pulled away. He felt miserable in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute the old nun to explain his purpose, then turned to Yurong, repeatedly bowed to her and apologized, asking her to go back with him, and the old nun also advised her.
Since Jiao Yurong saw him enter the temple, she turned her face to the side and said nothing, letting Yang Huiyuan say all the good things, without any emotion in reply.
Yang Huiyuan was anxious and didn't care about being decent. He immediately knelt down and sweared, "If Huiyuan does anything wrong with the girl, in the end I will tell me that I will die a bad death. I hope that my girl will forgive me this time!"
Jiao Yurong then turned her face and said with resentment and grief: "It's easy to forgive you, but it's difficult for me to protect myself. I have been at home for eighteen years and have never left my home. Unfortunately, I was framed by others. Today I took off my clothes and tested my body in your house, and I lost all my face! I can still do this time Using my innocent body as a testimony to distinguish the wronged. If I became a ghost in the future, how could I cleanse myself? "
Yang Huiyuan said in tears with anxiety: "You believe that I, Yang Huiyuan, is a ruthless person, it would be fine if you abandon me and become a monk. Is my father-in-law old and helpless, so you can bear to leave him alone?"
This sentence touched Jiao Yurong's pain, and she suddenly burst into tears, and she cried out with a "wow", and then fainted.
Yang Huiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and supported her. The old nun helped him get water and pinched the person to wake her up. But in the end, because she was so upset that she had been in a state of depression and sadness for days, she reduced her food and sleeping, and was extremely weak and could no longer move. Yang Huiyuan had no choice but to ask the old nun to help him, and he leaned down and carried Yurong on his back. He went out of the temple to find a donkey nearby to send Yurong home.
For two consecutive days, Jiao Yurong lay on the bed without saying anything, drinking or eating, Jiao Guiming kept telling his daughter with words, Yang Huiyuan even came early and came back late every day, and waited by Jiao Yurong's bed all day long.
Jiao Guiming really didn't realize that his son-in-law is strong and gentle, and can be liked by the big and small. Yang Huiyuan also brought live chickens and fish from home, and personally cooked dishes for Yurong to nourish her body. Her gentleness and meticulousness were no less than a girl, but she actually warmed up Yurong's cold heart. She said with tears in her eyes: "You are so worried, but how can I be embarrassed to enter your house again?"
Yang Huiyuan said: "Don't worry about the previous matters, you have to give me a chance to make up for it!"
Next later, the three of them investigated the reasons for the slander of this time, and then realized that it was the big bully Zhu Hao in the city.
The three brothers Zhu Hao, the eldest brother was ordered to release the governor, and the second brother was the general of the and . Zhu Hao had never entered the learning test and was also the county magistrate in Yashanli. He was in charge of the seventh rank official, and the county magistrate had to listen to him. He was a person who stomped his feet and moved the whole city. It was because of a trip on Qingming Festival that he met Jiao Yurong who was visiting the grave to pay homage. Zhu Hao fell in love with her and sent Zhang Po to Jiao's family to propose marriage and wanted to take her as a concubine. Jiao Guiming sent her to a few words.
This caused this troublesome lawsuit. Yang Hui was so angry that he went to the county government to sue Yurong for justice. The county magistrate really just beat Hu Lei and did not rain. He made excuses Wang Wenjian and Zhang Po, but he did not chase the main culprit. Even Wang Wenjian and Zhang Po were convicted in front of the hall and released the person behind the hall, and the lawsuit was left in the end.
