Liaozhai Story: A poor boy meets a rich man to get married in an instant and regrets it a year later.

In ancient times, the marriage of a man and a woman was all the orders of parents and the words of a matchmaker, but the marriage given by parents was not necessarily satisfactory.

1. Marriage falling from the sky

In ancient times, there was a family named Yun in Xishan, forty miles away from Jinan. The man in this family died young, leaving only a mother and daughter to live alone. Fortunately, the family is relatively well-off, eating and drinking.

In a blink of an eye, Jia Yun's daughter is 18 years old. Miss Jia Yun is like a hibiscus flower, which makes people like it. Unfortunately, such an excellent girl has not found a satisfactory husband.

Mrs. Yun's marriage became Mrs. Yun's heart. In fact, she started looking for someone for her daughter very early, but she never met the right person. In this way, Ms. Yun has reached the age of 18.

You know, at that time 18 years old will be even older. If you don't get married, you will be called an old maid. Mrs. Yun doesn't have to worry too much.

On this day, Jia Yun's mother and daughter came to Mount Tai to make a wish. Because I heard that the immortals on Mount Tai are very agile and responsive, the mother and daughter came here to pray for the immortals to bless Miss Yun to find a husband as soon as possible.

Mother and daughter climbed the mountain for a long time, bowed their heads and walked back, exhausted, and slowly descended the mountain.

Strange to say, you can come whenever you want. On the way down the mountain, a handsome young man appeared behind them.

The young man walked silently behind the mother and daughter, while Mrs. Yun and her daughter walked, chanting about choosing a spouse, saying that it would be effective to bow down so sincerely today.

Seeing an opportunity, the young man went up to talk to Mrs. Yun and offered to help them with their things. When Mrs. Yun saw that the young man was not bad-looking, clever and fond of him, she chatted with him while walking.

Only then did I know that the young man's name was Liang Youcai. He is 23 years old, his parents died young and he has no brothers or sisters. He lives alone and usually makes a living by selling small department stores. He is a peddler.

After a conversation between Mrs. Yun and Liang Youcai, her affection for Liang Youcai became stronger, because she found that the young man was not only clever, but also eloquent, clever and gentle.

She thought, since she sells goods every day, it shows that this guy is a diligent person, not a lazy person. Such a young man is good in other aspects except poverty, and is suitable to be his son-in-law.

Mrs. Yun and Liang Youcai simply want to go together. Before Mrs. Yun could ask, Liang Youcai hinted that she was not married. I heard that girls in Jia Yun are choosing husbands. I don't know if I can.

Mrs. Yun immediately beamed and said, "I think so. Since your home is in Mount Tai, I might as well marry you. "

Miss Yun betrothed herself to someone she just met so easily when she heard her mother, and hurriedly stopped it. Mrs. Yun was able to shrug off it, saying that her eyes were not wrong and she was still insisting.

tie the nuptial knot

After they went down the mountain, they first came to Uncle Yun's house in Jinan and exchanged birthdays for them. The next day, Mrs. Yun first settled her daughter in her uncle's house, and then went to Liang Youcai's house to check. I saw that Liang Jia was very poor, almost to the point where his family was surrounded. Although Mrs. Yun was a little surprised, she didn't take it seriously. She thinks poverty means poverty. Anyway, her family is rich, as long as she is nice.

Mrs. Yun is now in charge, buying many things for Liang's family and repairing the house. A few days later, I sent my daughter here, and I brought a lot of dowry. I was afraid that my daughter would work hard at home, so I sent a maid specially. Now daughters and sons-in-law can live a relaxed life.

On the night when Miss Yun and Liang Youcai got married, she told him that her name was Yun. She told him seriously that although she didn't have a crush on him, now that she had married him, she hoped that Liang Youcai could fulfill her responsibilities as a husband and live in a down-to-earth manner. Liang Youcai sincerely promised.

With the dowry given by Yunjia, Liang Youcai's quality of life has gone up several steps at once, and he no longer has to live a precarious life. After marriage, Liang Youcai was a completely different person. Instead of selling goods, he stayed at home all day and gradually mixed with a group of friends.

These people do nothing all day, either get together to gamble, or go to entertainment places to drink Huasan and eat, drink and be merry all day. Liang Youcai spent a lot of money on Yun's dowry, and he didn't feel bad at all, let alone plan for the future.

Cloud Cui Xian failed to convince him, see through his face, put away all the dowry, no longer let Liang Youcai use at will. As a result, Liang Youcai not only didn't stop, but wanted to steal his wife's soft jewelry to sell.

No amount of dowry can help such a flower method. After less than a year, my dowry will soon run out. Money is spent and valuable things are sold. Liang Youcai abused his daughter-in-law because he had no money to spend.

3. sell your wife for money

A fair-weather friend of Liang Youcai gave him an idea. "Since your daughter-in-law is beautiful, you might as well sell her. If you sell it to a big family as a concubine, it's no problem to sell it for 100. If you sell it to Yanhuaxiang, you can sell it to 1200 Liang. As long as you have money, you can be as chic as you want. "

Liang Youcai listened to the idea, although he didn't say it, but he was still willing. After returning home, he deliberately sighed in front of his daughter-in-law and said that there was no money at home and so on. He often loses his temper for no reason and scolds his daughter-in-law for hitting the servant girl. Cloud Cui Xian knew at a glance that he didn't hide a good idea.

On this day, Yun deliberately tried to say at dinner: "Now our family is in financial difficulties and we can't go on. Why don't you sell the maid? "

Hearing this, Liang Youcai sighed and said, what's the use of selling a rough servant girl for a few dollars?

After a while, the cloud said, since I married you, it is meaningless to live like this. Otherwise, you can sell me and find a rich family to sell to others as a concubine, so that you will have money and I won't have to suffer.

Liang Youcai's eyes glowed and he grabbed his wife's hand excitedly.

The next day, Liang Youcai found the middleman. The man came home and looked at Yun Cui Xian. He negotiated the price with Liang Youcai. The middleman was very satisfied when he saw that the cloud was beautiful. He immediately wrote a contract. Yun overheard their conversation quietly and found that she sold herself not to a rich family, but to a brothel.

However, Yun pretended to be calm and didn't cry.

Save yourself with wisdom

She and Liang Youcai said that since it has been settled, they will go with others in a couple of days, and they want to go back to their parents' home. After being sold, they don't know if there is any chance to go back to their parents' home.

Liang Youcai hesitated and didn't say yes or no. Cloud Cui Xian know, Liang Youcai is afraid that he won't go back to his parents' home, and then draw water with a sieve. So he promised, and since he promised, he would not go back on his word. In this way, the husband and wife hired a carriage to go back to their parents' home that day.

The carriage didn't arrive until midnight. Liang Youcai got off the bus and was shocked. I saw the Yunjia Gaomen Courtyard, where there are many tall buildings and great momentum, and there are domestic servants and maids walking around to wait on them.

It turns out that although Liang Youcai has been married to Yun for a year, he has never been to his mother-in-law's house. When he got married, Yun married from his uncle's house to Jinan. After the marriage, Liang Youcai proposed to take Yun back to her family several times, but Yun found reasons to prevaricate. Liang Youcai only knew that Jia Yun was rich, but he never thought that he was so rich.

When Mrs. Yun saw her daughter and son-in-law coming in the middle of the night, she knew there must be a reason. Yun Cui Xian told her mother about her life a year after marriage and the fact that she was sold to a brothel by her husband. After that, Yun took out two gold ingots from his clothes and patted them on the table, saying that the money he had with him was finally unnecessary to hide and returned to his mother.

When Yun finished, he asked Liang Youcai, "You are a sweaty peddler. Before, there was nothing in my house. I married you, and you lived a carefree life with my dowry. Where is your conscience? " Liang Youcai bowed his head and said nothing.

At this time, the maid at the door heard about the young lady, so she couldn't help but come in and surround Liang Youcai. You hit me, just hit him.

5. How do you treat others

Liang Youcai is blue all over. Later, he sat in the front hall and fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, he found himself on a barren hill surrounded by cliffs. There is no one around him, and there is no house. He waited for a long time before the woodcutter passed by, and then he followed the woodcutter down the mountain in a daze.

Liang Youcai came home and sold out. He is the only one in the shabby house. He is ill, he doesn't eat or drink, and he lives by begging from his neighbors. After he recovered from his illness, he had nothing and became a beggar on the street.

He remembered the friend who encouraged him to sell his wife. He had a toothache, so he deliberately took advantage of his friend to walk in the street and suddenly rushed over and stabbed the man to death.

Liang Youcai, who killed people in the street, was arrested in the county government and died in prison soon.

This story comes from the cloud in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.

In fact, on Mount Tai that day, Liang Youcai had already met Yun Cui Xian. He found that the cloud was beautiful, so he couldn't help kneeling behind it to wipe the oil. So Yun decided that he was a man of bad conduct, but Mrs. Yun didn't know it.

Liang Youcai saw that Yun's mother and daughter were well dressed and rich, so he deliberately followed them all the way up the mountain and eavesdropped on their conversation. He knew that Miss Yun was in a hurry to choose a spouse, and Mrs. Ting Yun mentioned that she only valued people and didn't care about her family, so she deliberately showed herself in front of Mrs. Yun. It can be said that this marriage is the result of Liang Youcai's painstaking efforts and disguised efforts.

Liang Youcai is a man with some cleverness and tricks. He married Bai by his own cleverness and got himself out of poverty one step at a time.

But he is always a villain without great wisdom, with bad conduct and ingratitude. This kind of person lacks foresight and the overall situation, only values the immediate enjoyment, can be desperate for the benefit, and is doomed to no good result.

Yun Cui Xian is an independent and resourceful girl. When you are in danger, you don't panic, you can deal with it calmly, you can come out of it and protect yourself.
