htmlhtml Wanli period in the Ming Dynasty, there was a family surnamed Gu in Dongchuan. The head of the family Gu Changchun was a successful rich man, rich and had a beautiful wife at home. The two have been married for many years, and their wife gave birth to three daughters for him, but Gu Changchun was not satisfied and even wanted to take a concubine. What was going on?
The story starts fifteen years ago. Gu Changchun lost his father in his early years and followed his mother, Zhao, for his life. Because the three generations of the Gu family passed down, Zhao wanted his son to help the family grow branches and leaves. To this end, from the age of sixteen in Gu Changchun, Zhao began to find a partner for him.
Gu Changchun was a filial son who obeyed his mother's words, but his marriage was not going well. He had two wives, the first wife called Xia Yu, who was a childhood sweetheart in Gu Changchun. The two got married early and shared the joys and sorrows. Until Gu Changchun became famous, their relationship was always very good.
Unfortunately, Xia Yu's belly was not good and he never gave birth to a child or half of his daughter for many years after marriage. Seeing this, Zhao advised his son to divorce his wife and marry another. Gu Changchun was struggling for a long time, but in the end he chose to obey his mother and divorce Xia Yu. After several years, he was busy with work until he was thirty-five years old that he married his current wife Song Tianer.
Song Tianer is tall and has a big butt. In the eyes of Zhao, she is the one who is good at raising her. Song Tian'er did not disappoint everyone's expectations and became pregnant shortly after marriage, which made the family very happy.
Ten months pregnant, Song Tianer gave birth to a daughter. This is a good thing, but in the eyes of Zhao, the girl could not pass on the incense for the ancient family, so she was not satisfied. However, Song Tianer is still young and has no chance, so she didn't say much.
A few years later, Song Tianer became pregnant twice in a row, but unfortunately she gave birth to her daughter. This made Gu Changchun and Zhao very dissatisfied. Gu Changchun's attitude towards Song Tianer also changed 360 degrees. He scolded her for being useless all day long, and even ignored her three daughters.
At the same time, Zhao made a mistake and wanted his son to continue to take concubines and strive to pass on the family's incense as soon as possible. Perhaps because she was worried that she and her daughter would be kicked out of the house, Song Tianer also made many remedies, but it was useless.
Until Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Song Tianer took her youngest daughter to the Taoist temple outside the city to burn incense and pray for a child. She met an old Taoist priest with a gray beard and mysterious figure. Seeing her frowning, the Taoist priest took the initiative to talk to her and ask what happened. After learning the whole story, the Taoist priest calculated his fingers and then said mysteriously: "Madam, this matter has nothing to do with you!"
Song Tianer was shocked after hearing this. She seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and immediately invited the Taoist priest home. Seeing this, Zhao and Gu Changchun hurriedly asked the Taoist priest for advice. The Taoist priest did not answer, but led everyone to the grave of Gu Changchun's deceased father and said lightly: "Dig a grave and see!"
Gu Changchun was furious after hearing this. It was disrespectful to dig the grave of his ancestors. He thought the Taoist priest was talking nonsense and was about to drive him away, but the Taoist priest explained: "Don't you want a son? The answer is under your father's coffin!"
Taoist priest said that Gu Changchun was half-believing and half-doubting. After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Changchun still dug the grave of his deceased father. Strangely, the soil on the grave was very loose, but when they saw the coffin, they were stunned. The coffin that was supposed to be buried south was now leaning towards the right side, and it was obvious that someone had tampered with it. At the same time, the Taoist priest jumped into the grave, searched under the coffin for a while, and pulled out a cloth bag, which was filled with red makeup.
He told everyone that someone had moved the place where his ancestors were buried. It is rumored that as long as the ancestors' head of the coffin was tilted to the left and pressed the man's hair crown under the coffin, it would be blessed to give birth to a male child; if the coffin head was tilted to the right and the girl's red makeup was pressed below, it would be blessed to give birth to a female child.
Gu Changchun was shocked after hearing this. If this is the case, wouldn’t it be that someone was making trouble behind the scenes that led to his three daughters? The Taoist priest said that it was not someone else who did this, but his ex-wife Xia Yu. It must be that Xia Yu was worried about being kicked out of the Gu family that year, and then he thought of such a way to take revenge.
Gu Changchun was furious after hearing this and immediately sent someone to find Xia Yu's whereabouts, wanting to ask clearly, but unfortunately she had left her hometown many years ago and no one knew where she went. After
, Gu Changchun buried the coffin again with the help of the Taoist priest. Before leaving, the Taoist priest came to Song Tianer and said earnestly: "Birth of boys and girls is the way of heaven, so it is not so easy to be affected. I hope you can see the current situation clearly and decide whether to go or stay!"
Taoist priest said that Song Tianer suddenly realized. After some decision, she finally decided to leave the Gu family with her three daughters. Gu Changchun was shocked, but he didn't stop him. He originally wanted to marry a few more wives to pass on the family's incense. Who would have thought that no matter how hard he tried, he would never have a son or a half daughter. Many years later, when he was dying, Gu Changchun finally regretted his decision, but unfortunately it was too late.
As for Song Tianer, although her life was a little harder, she was more free after leaving Gu Changchun. Not long after, she remarried to a honest and honest farmer and successfully gave birth to a fat boy. The whole family lived together and was happy.
