"That's strange. She is a weak little girl. What can she do to force a grown man like you to die?" Ji Cha asked, "Tell me, why are you forced to commit suicide?"
Hong Chen was also puzzled and said, "Yes, I think Miss Hu speaks softly and doesn't seem to be aggressive."
Su Liangjing was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "That's right, the tea-picking hero and the bamboo-cutting hero are not ordinary people. It doesn't matter if I tell you. Even if I die, I will kill her before I die.
Tell others the ugly side of it.”
…
I am in my thirties now. People who are as old as me but have not yet started a family are called bachelors and are always laughed at by the neighbors. Therefore, they are always urged to get married by my parents. I also want to find a very young man.
A beautiful and gentle woman will spend the rest of my life with me, but I was not very good at getting along with her when I was young.
I dated girls, and when I became an adult, I focused more on my career, thinking that as long as I became successful, famous, and had a lot of money, a very good woman would come to me. No.
Come to think of it, I didn't wait for a wishful bride, I just waited for a vicious snake and scorpion.
My father used to run a small business. He once told me that you should first start a business and then start a family. Once your career is successful and your status rises, you won’t have to worry about not having a wife. He also used my mother’s example to teach me, saying that he just married a wife.
I married too early, and later met many gentler and more beautiful girls but had no chance.
So I worked hard and devoted myself to forging weapons. I spent tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of kilograms of iron. Finally, I became famous in the circle of weapon forgers in Tianjing and made friends with many former soldiers.
The nobleman, whom he could never see, also earned some money and bought a large house in the western suburbs, just to use it as a new house for marrying his wife.
At this time, many matchmakers came to introduce girls to me, but they either had poor family conditions, were ugly, were old, or thought my family was poor, thought I was ugly, thought I was old, or were already married and their husbands were dead.
Those who want to remarry now are far from the pure wife I think of with a body as white as snow and a face as beautiful as jade.
I spent a lot of money on matchmakers to introduce me to better women. This is how Hu Yinyin was introduced to me. When I first met her, I felt that although she was not as stunning as those singers and dancers,
, but she is generous and beautiful enough to be married and look good in front of neighbors and friends. When I talked to her, she was very attentive and considerate. She asked me what I like to eat and what I like to do, and she also talked a lot with me.
What happened when I was young.
I found that we got along very well, and she listened carefully to what I said, unlike other girls who would interrupt me after I said two sentences. Moreover, when I went to her home, her parents were also very considerate and close people. They were obviously
She comes from a scholarly family, but she doesn't mind that my family is a small businessman. When she came to my house as a guest, she was very respectful to my father and mother, and took the initiative to work in the kitchen, which made my parents like her very much.
At that time, I felt that she was the one I was destined for, and meeting her was a blessing that I had cultivated for eight lifetimes. If I could not seize this opportunity, I would regret it for the rest of my life. So I asked her if she would marry me, and if she did,
, I immediately went to her house to propose marriage. I thought she would readily agree, but unexpectedly she said hesitantly: "We have only known each other for a short time, and we need to get to know you better."
I thought she was right, and I hadn’t shown her enough. So I took her to the big house I bought in the western suburbs. There were gardens, ponds, and dozens of houses there. Although it was smaller than the city
It's a little remote here, but it's very luxurious, and it's surrounded by manors and courtyards that wealthy people bought and enjoyed. She said she likes riding horses, so I immediately sent someone to build a stable in the house and asked someone to go to Xiliang to buy good horses.
.
But she added: "After all, getting married must be about being from the same family. Although my parents and I don't care much about your origins, after all, you have many relatives and friends. If I marry you directly, someone will always gossip." I said, "I study.
I'm not very good, and I don't know any martial arts, I just know
You can make some money by forging weapons, but you can't be an official." She said, "It's enough if you can make money, but you are not rich enough. I have an uncle who was directly downgraded to eighty-eight when his daughter was married.
A betrothal gift of ten thousand taels of silver! I don’t want that much from you, just 180,000 taels of silver will be enough!”
I said: "I have 180,000 taels, but I have to wait two or three years to earn it again. After all, all the money I saved in the past was used to buy a house." She said: "That won't work. In another two or three years, I will be able to earn it again."
I have become an old girl! What if you regret not marrying me at that time?" I said: "I will definitely marry you." She said: "That's not good, what about the next two or three years?
You don’t see me anymore? But we have been in constant contact before we got married, and people always spread rumors behind our backs.” I said, “Then I will sell this house in exchange for money as a betrothal gift?” She was angry again: “You sold it.
Zhaizi, do we still have a new house? Do you want me to go to the mountains to worship? Your family is so small and there is no room for my relatives and friends!"
I really had nothing to do, but she made a suggestion to me at this time: "I heard that during this period in Tianjing, many martial arts people spent a lot of money to purchase high-quality weapons. You can make them for them." I refused and said: "Tianjing recently appeared.
These martial arts people are different from those in the sects and gangs outside.
In this way, they are all turbulent elements that are not recognized by the imperial court. Selling weapons to them violates the Dayu regulations." She said, "Can't you just do the transaction secretly and not let others know?" I said, "How is this allowed? In private.
The transaction cannot pay taxes, which is equivalent to evading the court's taxes, and will be punished with an additional penalty!"
She suddenly became cold and said: "You are afraid of this and that, and you can't afford the money, so I have to marry someone else! Many people came to my house to propose marriage this year!" I panicked, and I finally met him.
When you find a woman who is willing to stay together for life, how can you give up on her? He promised her: "Okay, I will definitely raise 180,000 taels."
In the days that followed, I forged weapons for those martial arts people who would be kicked out by me when they came to visit me in the past. The rewards they gave me were indeed generous. Hu Yinyin often came to my place and counted the new money that arrived every day with me. I
In order to earn these 180,000 taels of silver as soon as possible, I worked day and night
The work was almost exhausting me, but as I saw the number of 180,000 taels getting closer and closer, I became more and more excited - as long as I earned 180,000 taels of silver, I could marry someone that everyone would envy.
If your wife has a relationship with a family that has been studying for generations, the fate of future generations will change accordingly.
Not long ago, I finally raised enough 200,000 taels of silver. Not only did I have 180,000 taels of silver for the betrothal gift, I also had a surplus of 20,000 taels for marriage and post-marriage expenses. But at this moment, Hu Yinyin finally revealed her
Her true identity - she took a ledger with detailed records
After checking every transaction I had with those martial arts people, he sneered and said to me: "You are a toad who wants to eat swan meat. If you want to avoid being executed by the government, give me your house in the western suburbs, and then give it to me."
Three hundred thousand taels of silver, otherwise I will show this ledger to the government."
I thought she was joking with me at first, but I didn’t expect that she was serious: "You are such a stupid, big, blacksmith who deals with charcoal fire and iron lumps all day long. You only have two stinky money. I really thought that
Is there any educated official lady who likes you? It's a beautiful dream. Either give me a house and give me money, or the whole family will be ruined, you choose one!" I can't believe that you are usually so gentle and kind.
How can people be so vicious and cruel!
But now that I have stepped into her trap, I have nothing to say. I can make more money, but if I lose my life, I have nothing. So I told her: "I can also give you the house, but I only have 200,000 yuan. My body is
I'm about to collapse. I can't continue to forge weapons like before.
, I can't raise another hundred thousand taels of silver in a short time." But she said: "Three hundred thousand, even one tael less can't make it! If you can't produce weapons, then sell your house in the city! That place
Although it is small, it is in a very good location in Tianjing and is worth eighty or ninety thousand taels."
I was furious: "My father and mother live in the house in the city. After it is sold, are we going to live on the street as a family?" She just laughed: "What does it have to do with you living on the street? If you don't have a house to live in, go north and live with the refugees.
Let's live together, then
You can live in a shanty townhouse for a few dozen cents for seven or eight days! Oh, yes, if the government clears out homeless people without housing, you might be driven to the mountains in the northeast. I heard that it’s very cold in winter there. When you get there,
