in the Song Dynasty, there was a painter named Bai Tangzhan in Suzhou. His family was very poor and had a hard life. He was only twenty-five years old this year and had not married a wife.
On that day, Bai Tangzhan went to the street to set up a stall to sell calligraphy and paintings. He lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of flowers. Then a brothel came to buy calligraphy and paintings. A pickpocket happened to want to steal the woman's money. After seeing this, Bai Tangzhan quickly stepped forward to stop it in time, so that the woman did not suffer any losses.
Baitang Zhanren looked good. Although his clothes were a little worn, he washed them very cleanly. The woman liked the brave and fearless Baitang Zhan. After talking, the two learned the other party's name. The woman's name was Hongliu. Baitang Zhan didn't mind that Hongliu was a brothel woman. The two were turtles and looked at mung beans. Later, the two lived like this for a long time. The two met frequently in private and became intimate people.
Liu Hong and Bai Tangzhan met for a while, she found that Bai Tangzhan was honest, simple, kind, and had never had bad thoughts about herself. Liu Hong felt from the bottom of her heart that Bai Tangzhan was a person worth entrusting her life, so she took out the savings she had accumulated over the years to redeem herself, and planned to marry Bai Tangzhan and become his wife.
After Liu Hong got idle, she was arranged by Bai Tangzhan to live in an old house. He and his mother, Lu, were preparing for the wedding at home. The mother and son cleaned the house. Bai Tangzhan was going to bring the big red sedan chair to marry Liu Hong, but no one expected that on the wedding day, a good auspicious day would be the day when the bride passed away.
Bai Tangzhan's younger brother Bai Erlang is a lazy person. Bai Erlang often eats and drinks outside with his friends, and he only goes home once every ten days and half a month. Every time he goes back, he reaches out to Bai Tangzhan for money to gamble. If Bai Tangzhan doesn't give money, Bai Erlang will beat his mother Lu.
Since ancient times, filial piety is the first priority. Bai Tangzhan felt sorry for his mother. In order to prevent his crazy brother from beating his mother, Bai Tangzhan always gave the money he earned to his younger brother. Therefore, the Bai family has been so poor in recent years. Every time Bai Erlang gets the money, he will quickly squander it. When he has no money, he will go back to ask his brother for it.
When Bai Tangzhan got married, Bai Erlang was not notified, but he came uninvited and insisted on attending his brother's wedding.
The day of Bai Tangzhan's wedding was really lively. After the two of them worshipped their parents, Liu Hong was sent to the bridal chamber. Bai Erlang came late last night because he came to drink late, so he broke into the bridal chamber with his friends and wanted to see the bride's appearance. Unexpectedly, after they saw Liu Hong, they were stunned. After Liu Hong saw Bai Erlang and others, she also looked incredible.
Bai Erlang's friend said loudly: "Isn't this Liu Hong drunk on the floor? Brother Bai, you are her regular customer. How could Liu Hong become your sister-in-law now?" Several people were hooligans and spoke very badly. Bai Erlang suddenly felt embarrassed on his face, and got angry on the spot, yelling to ask his brother to take off Liu Hong's wedding dress and drive her out.
Liu Hongxiu finally found true love and good deeds in the end, but she never expected that such an unexpected farce would occur on the day of their worship. Her brother-in-law turned out to be her former guest. The more Liu Hong thought about it, the less uncomfortable she felt, and she felt that her heart seemed to be broken.
She had no face to see Bai Tangzhan again. She quietly pulled out the golden hairpin and stabbed it into her heart, and died. Liu Hong committed suicide, and everyone was shocked to see this. Bai Tangzhan hugged Liu Hong's body in great pain. He finally married his beloved woman, but let his beloved die in the wedding room.
Bai Tangzhan drove Bai Erlang and others out like crazy, turned around and pulled out the golden hairpin from Liu Hong's chest, and stabbed into his heart without hesitation. He fell to the ground and slowly crawled towards Liu Hong, holding her and leaving. When the old man and others broke into the door, everyone found that Bai Tangzhan was dead.
Looking at the dead son and daughter-in-law, Lu Shi fainted with a scream. Old Bai cried to death. Bai Erlang suddenly woke up and regretted his usual absurd behavior. He felt that he had killed his elder brother and spent all day regretting. He would never go out to fool around again, but he would never have any elder brother or sister-in-law to call him.
What happened to Shiraishiro later? Don't know, the story is over.
