Chapter 1541: Please Call Me Mr. An (3)
This is an overhead dynasty, and the folk customs are somewhat similar to those of the Tang and Song dynasties.
An family is an ordinary family in a small county town.
An's father was smart since he was a child, and he was a famous prodigy when he was young.
But that's not all his glory.
Subsequently, he took the imperial examination for more than ten years, but he never failed to pass the examination.
It was too expensive to take the imperial examination, and after several tosses, the An family, who was originally a little rich, slowly became overstretched.
Seeing that the old lady and his wife were working hard to raise money for him tuition, books and travel expenses to catch the exam, his wife was even more tired to the point of dystocia, and finally left only a sick and crooked son.
The wife died, the old lady was frail, and everything that could be sold at home was almost sold, and An's father completely woke up.
He stopped thinking about the imperial examination, took his old mother, eldest daughter and the son that his wife had desperately given birth to, and returned to his hometown with his family.
opened a private school in the small mountain village of his hometown, although he didn't make much money, he could support his family.
Subsequently, he remarried and gave birth to a daughter.
The step-room Zhou family is very virtuous, and he did not abuse the first son and daughter in the past, but regarded the two children as his own flesh and blood.
The eldest daughter is also sensible, respects her stepmother, loves her younger siblings, and has a harmonious family.
It's a pity that within a few years of the good days, An's father got a serious illness, and in order to treat him, An's family borrowed money everywhere.
But he still couldn't keep An's father.
At that time, the An family was really at the end of their rope, and they didn't even have the money for An's father's burial.
Borrow, I can't borrow it anymore. The relatives and friends of the An family are not wealthy, and they can lend money to An's father for treatment, which is already considered benevolent and righteous.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, Ding An Haoting, the only man in the An family, also fell ill.
He was born prematurely, born weak, and relied on tonic medicine to save his life all these years.
As soon as An's father fell ill, An's family fell into a desperate situation, where is there any spare money to buy tonic medicine for An Haoting?
You must know that the first medicine in An Haoting's prescription is ginseng.
The dosage is not much, but this medicine is taken all year round, and a few pairs cost one or two silver!
This time, An's father died, and An Haoting, as an only son, was frightened and sad, and suddenly became ill, which was very dangerous.
The doctor said that he must use ginseng for more than ten years, otherwise, he may not survive!
An's father has already left, and the An family has only one seedling in An Haoting, and if he wants to leave again, the An family will be completely wiped out.
Grandmother An's Yan cried to death directly.
The Zhou family was also so anxious that the six gods had no master, but there was nothing they could do but hold their little daughter An Xueting and kneel in the mourning hall to cry.
An's father had no money to bury him, An Haoting waited for the silver to save his life, and An Niting, the daughter of An's family, who was only twelve years old, gritted her teeth and stood up.
She found the human tooth and sold herself herself.
In order to sell more money, she tearfully said to Renyazi, where you give more money, you can sell me wherever I go, I just need money!
Where to give more money?
Dirty place, of course!
Ren Yazi looked at An Niting carefully and saw that although she was still immature, she was a complete beauty.
As long as you take care of it for two or three years, you will definitely be able to become the Oiran of the Qinglou.
And people have inquired, this eldest girl of the An family is literate and hyphenated, and she was sold to the Qinglou, which can be regarded as a capital, and she can ask the bustard for more money!
In this way, An Niting exchanged herself for thirty taels of silver.
An's father was successfully buried, An Haoting was also rescued, and he even had spare money to study.
The family was properly settled, and An Niting also followed Renyazi to Fucheng.
Why didn't you go to the county seat?
People are shrewd, she thinks that An Niting is a high-quality product with potential, and she can only sell it at a high price when she goes to Fucheng.
Grandmother Yan learned the details and cried to death again. At that time, An Niting was still young, and she only thought that her grandmother was reluctant to herself.
Zhou was also wiping her tears, and the tears covered a trace of guilt in her eyes.
Only An Haoting and An Xueting, the two children don't have so many ideas, and they are simply reluctant to let the eldest sister leave.
Seeing the family crying into tears, An Niting's heart was so soft that it was a mess.
In the days to come, no matter what happened, she gritted her teeth and held on, because she always remembered one thing: she still had a family, and they still needed her!
Because of this obsession with family affection and relying on her intelligence, An Niting slowly gained a firm foothold in Chunfeng Tower, and three years later, she became the most famous Oiran in the entire Fucheng in one fell swoop.
An Niting has always been thinking about her family, and over the years of being an Oiran, she has sent all the money she has saved back to her hometown.
Of course, the family has not forgotten her.
The stepmother, Zhou, even secretly came to see her several times.
Although she couldn't see her younger siblings, she was relieved to see her stepmother.
The stepmother told her a lot of things-
Although Yan is getting older, his health is getting better and better.
An Haoting is quite a father, he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of sixteen, and I don't know how many matchmakers rushed to be a matchmaker for him.
An Xueting finally knew that she could sit down and study hard to be a girl, a pair of hands, very coincidental, famous in ten miles and eight towns.
Hearing that the family is doing well, and her younger brother has a bright future, An Niting feels that her sins over the years have not been in vain, and she is working harder and harder.
However, it is easy to grow old, especially in a place like Qinglou, once a woman is over twenty-five, she begins to become worthless.
Oiran is like An Niting, fortunately, there is also a name for a talented woman, so she barely occupies a place in Chunfeng Building.
However, An Niting knew in her heart that such days would not last long.
When she is really old and decrepit, or contracted some dirty disease, even if she doesn't leave, the bustard will drive her away.
In addition, An Niting doesn't want to live this kind of day.
She sold herself for her family.
But now that the family is slowly on the right track, the younger brother can also support the portal, and her task seems to have been completed.
So, An Niting took advantage of her youth to hook up with a businessman who traveled north and south.
The man promised to help An Niting redeem herself, and also indicated that he would take her as a concubine.
The businessman has a wife in his hometown, and An Niting knows it without asking, but the businessman is normal to run business outside all day long, and to take a few concubines and set up a few outer rooms in various places!
An Niting doesn't have the luxury of being someone else's main room, she just wants to be good and find a reliable man to live a normal life!
Whether it's an outer room or a concubine, it's better than being a prostitute!
An Niting coaxed the merchant to redeem her and bought her a small yard in the county seat.
An Niting took some jewelry and gold and silver from her private collection, and finally walked out of the Chunfeng Building.
The moment she regained her freedom, she desperately wanted to return to her home and see the relatives she had been thinking about day and night.
Therefore, she did not go directly to her new home in the county seat, but went back to the small mountain village alone.
An Niting never expected that her relatives, who she thought she missed her too, didn't want to see her at all, and she didn't even want to say hello, so she wanted to kick her out of the house......
