Chapter 1: The Right of the First Night
The original ancients were men who came out of the grassland, and they lived with horses all day long, pursuing the survival rule of the jungle. And the original dynasty is a dynasty ruled by such proto-ancients.
In the first year of the original calendar, a family of ancient people came to Zhongli Guzhuang Village in Haozhou.
Bao Mengyi was originally a cousin of Prime Minister Zuo in the dynasty, and had been living in Dadu with Prime Minister Zuo before, but for some reason he offended Prime Minister Zuo, so the whole family was assigned to this poor and remote village in Haozhou as a security chief.
Regarding this result, Bao Mengyi is naturally full of bitterness and has nowhere to vent. It just so happened that on the first day of coming, Fuertai, the prefect of Haozhou, personally came to visit with his family.
Originally, according to Fortai's official position, there was no need to attach so much importance to a security chief who was assigned from Dadu, but this Bao Meng Yi was Prime Minister Zuo's cousin, and for the sake of Prime Minister Zuo's face, he had to be a little closer.
On this day, as soon as Bao Mengyi settled his new home, Foltai came. When the prefect visited, Bao Mengyi, as the chief of security, should be received with the highest standard of etiquette. But this Bao Meng Yi thinks that he is a dignitary from Dadu, and he is a cousin of Prime Minister Zuo, so he doesn't take the small Haozhou prefect in his eyes at all. He just asked the housekeeper to greet him, and he sat in the lobby with a golden sword, without any respect.
Foltai was introduced into the lobby, and his mood was naturally not much better, but he could only endure it for a while, squeezing out a hypocritical smile and saying: "The Bao family came to my Haozhou as a guest, and my prefect did not entertain me with good wine and meat, and it was really not well entertained." ”
Bao Mengyi was a little gloomy when he heard this, he thought that Prime Minister Zuo would not abandon the Bao family so easily, so he only took a break in this place where birds don't. The word "guest" of Fortai is in the heart of Meng Yi. Of course, Bao Mengyi did not continue to put on a stinky face, but walked down with a big laugh, held Foltai's hand and said; "The prefect laughed, you are the governor of this mansion, I am the first to come here, I should have visited you first, I don't want the prefect to be so polite, the lower official is really flattered."
As he spoke, he scolded his subordinates with a grim face; "Don't invite the prefect to sit yet, a bunch of things that don't have the ability to see."
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately moved up the chair that had just been removed and asked Fortaine to sit down.
In an instant, the two talked happily like friends they hadn't seen for many years.
"Prime Minister Zuo sent Lord Bao to Haozhou, presumably with a heavy responsibility." Foltai took advantage of the situation and patted a sycophant, he knew that Bao Mengyi was sent over, but he didn't know what was going on. But for the prime minister's family affairs, it is better to be cautious.
Bao Mengyi also felt that there was no need to explain everything to Fortai, and the reason why he was assigned was indeed not too glorious, so he simply said in a panic: "Yes, Prime Minister Zuo heard that the people in Haozhou are not good, and he specially sent me to observe the people's situation. ”
"I see." Foltai was skeptical of Bao Mengyi's words, but he didn't dare to disbelieve it completely, so he took the opportunity to introduce the function of the chief security officer to Bao Mengyi: "Brother Bao was the first chief of security, so he must not know the function of the chief of security. ”
Bao Mengyi said: "It's true, but I think it's just a security chief, and there is nothing to deal with that can stump me." ”
Foltai laughed, and then squeezed his eyes at Bao Mengyi: "The affairs that the chief security officer needs to deal with are indeed not difficult, but it is a ten out of ten beauty difference." ”
"Oh? Where does this begin? ”
Foltai looked mysterious: "Brother doesn't know, as the chief of the guard, he has the right to the first night of the Chinese women in his jurisdiction." ”
"First Night Right?" Bao Mengyi had heard of such a statement, but he had always lived in Dadu. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, even if there is a Chinese family, they are all Chinese people with a certain status, so he really hasn't seen anyone do this.
At this moment, a military chief came from the door: "Chief Treasure, Zhu Chuyi, the eldest son of a Chinese family surnamed Zhu in Zhongli Guzhuang Village, is about to marry a daughter-in-law, and the other party is Li Fifteen, the youngest daughter of the Li family at the head of the village." ”
Fortai's eyes lit up: "It's just right to come, Brother Bao, my brother will teach you to enjoy the benefits of being a security chief for the first time today." ”
Foltai said to Wu Chang: "Bring the bride of the Li family to Bao Mansion, remember to bring a beautiful dress, and ensure that the eldest enjoys the right of the first night for the first time, and cannot leave a bad impression." ”
Bao Mengyi became curious, so he acquiesced to Fortai's approach.
"Yes." The commander was ordered to retreat.
……
Zhu Chuyi is already twenty years old this year, and Li Fifteen is also eighteen. The two had already agreed with each other for life a few years ago, and it was because they didn't want Li Fifteen to be taken away by the chief security officer that the first night had been delayed until now. But this is fate, unless Li 15 does not marry for the rest of his life, it will be difficult to escape this catastrophe after all.
Today's Li family is a gloomy fog. Li Fifteen figured it out, it was impossible not to marry for the rest of his life, so he was just arched by a wild boar. When the chief came with new clothes, Li Fifteen was ready. That night, he was taken to Baofu.
Ten days later, as if nothing had happened, the wedding took place as usual. Everyone also tacitly understood that no one mentioned this matter.
It wasn't until ten months later that Li 15 gave birth to his first son. The Zhu family and the Li family together, according to custom, the two families found a secret place and secretly threw the child to death.
Everyone was accustomed to this, everyone thought that after falling to death this innocent child, they could ensure the purity of their blood, and everyone was at ease and lived like this, as if all this humiliation had never happened.
However, all this was seen by a child who was less than ten years old. And this child did not ignore this humiliation, but turned it into a spark and hid it deep in his heart, waiting for the day when he got the right opportunity, and will use this humiliation buried deep in his bones as fuel, turn the spark into a raging flame of revenge, and burn all the humiliation in the Central Plains.
And this child is Zhu Chuyi's younger brother, the fourth son of the Zhu family, and Zhu Chuba.
......
In the third year of the original calendar, Zhu Chu was eighty-two years old.
There was a great drought in Huaibei, and the peasants had no harvest. Zhu Chuba's father, eldest brother and mother died of famine one after another, leaving only Zhu Chuba, his second brother, sister-in-law and nephew. Because he couldn't bear the persecution of the landlord, Zhu Chuba had no choice but to separate from his second brother and sister-in-law, and embarked on a journey to escape the famine alone.
A few days later, the hungry and thirsty Zhu Chuba saw a dilapidated temple with incense still in the temple. Zhu Chuba thought to himself: "It's better to be a monk in this temple than to starve to death outside." ”
So Zhu Chuba knocked on the door of this temple, shaved his ordination in the hands of the monk Gao Bin, and became a little boy.
At first, the remnants of food in the temple were quite sufficient. Zhu Chuba swept the incense on the floor every day, beat bells and drums, and finally was able to mix a full stomach. But the good times did not last long, and in this famine season, the number of believers who came to offer incense became fewer and fewer, and the food stored in the temple gradually bottomed out.
On this day, Monk Gao Bin called Zhu Chuba to his room and said, "You have been in the temple for more than 50 days, and you know the situation in the temple, and we are not able to support so many monks." Thinking twice for the teacher, there are not a few young and strong monks like you in the temple, so let you go outside the temple to make a living by yourself, it is better than staying here together and watching the ammunition run out of food and then end up together. ”
Zhu Chuba nodded silently, he had long expected such a day. He only said to Monk Gao Bin: "Master, the disciple does not have too many requirements, as long as the master gives a set of robes and an iron bowl, the disciple can leave the temple immediately." ”
It is impossible to lack a robe if there is nothing in the temple, and the monk Gao Bin agreed to Zhu Chuba's request.
So, Zhu Chuba went all the way south while begging.
