There is only one person who can be called a strange woman in the entire "History of Confucianism", so Tang Ning quickly reacted, so he asked tentatively: "The strange woman that Brother Shaoqing said is Biling Shen Qiongzhi who writes fans and composes poems in Handkerchief Alley and Seiko Gu embroidery?" ”

"Oops, I didn't expect that although Brother Fan had just arrived in Nanjing, the news was so well-informed!" Du Shaoqing said in surprise.

Tang Ning replied calmly: "The woman is listed to sell poetry, not to mention in Nanjing, presumably even in the capital will still be known in the streets, a woman with such courage and talent can definitely be called a strange woman, but I don't know how her poetry is!" ”

The praise for Shen Qiongzhi is definitely from Tang Ning's sincerity, because this Shen Qiongzhi's courage and insight are really amazing, not to mention that in the Ming Dynasty, even in modern times, there are few women like her.

Originally, Shen Qiongzhi's father, Shen Danian, coveted the wealth of Zhu Weifu, a big salt merchant who opened five pawn shops and ten silver buildings in Yangzhou, and married his daughter to him, but he thought that Zhu Weifu marrying his daughter was the Ming media marrying and marrying the main house, but on the day of marriage, the father and daughter found out that something was wrong, because this way of marrying was not the pomp of the main wife at all, but the posture of marrying a concubine to enter the door.

Wife or concubine, this can be said to be a bigger thing than the sky at that time, especially for a woman, seeing this scene, so Shen Danian asked his daughter: "This family business, or just have it?" Daughter, you have to advocate for yourself. ”

Shen Qiongzhi replied unhurriedly: "Daddy, please rest assured, my family has never written a paperwork, and he is worth it, why are you willing to be low and small!" If he is so pompous, if his father quarrels with him, he will be talked about by outsiders. Now I will carry him in a sedan chair to his house and see what he has done to me. ”

So without sheng flute and drum music and no servants, Shen Qiongzhi was carried into Zhu's mansion from the alley, and it was not Zhu Weifu who picked up the sedan chair, but an old mother, so as soon as he got off the sedan chair, Shen Qiongzhi asked the old mother: "Please come out of your family!" My surname Shen in Changzhou is not a lowly family! If you want to marry me, why don't you put on the lights and choose the auspicious door? Quietly carried me as if I were a concubine. I didn't ask him anything else, but told him to show me the marriage certificate that my father had written, and I had nothing to say. ”

Her words can be said to have frightened everyone in the Zhu Mansion. Zhu Weifu, who was settling accounts, blushed angrily: "People like us, who say that they want to marry seven or eight concubines a year, are all so naughty, can we still live this life?" ”

However, he did not punish and torture Shen Qiongzhi for this, but asked the old mother to go back and reply, "The master is not at home today", and asked people to send five hundred taels of silver to Shen's father in the inn. In fact, this wants to confirm the fact of buying a concubine.

As a result, within two days, Shen Qiongzhi found an opportunity to run, not only did he run away, but even took away the gold and silver in the house, otherwise where would he get entangled?

After leaving Zhu's mansion, Shen Qiongzhi knew that it was inconvenient to go home for a while, so he decided to go to Nanjing for a while. She can write poems and embroider, so she plans to use her skills to earn money to support herself. Others may think that this is whimsical, Nanjing is full of talents, and there will be people who will come to buy your woman's poems? She thought the opposite: how many celebrities are there in Nanjing, or it is unknown if they have encountered some fate?

People think differently, so there are thousands of paths in the world. Miss Shen Qiongzhi took a dangerous road, and she surpassed many extraordinary women with a very strong instinct of "I want to live". Lin Daiyu's poems are definitely better than hers, but when you encounter such a thing, you can only cry to death; In addition to making poems, Xue Baochai is also very familiar with mundane affairs, and even knows how to do her hands and feet in the pharmacy, but her upbringing is too orthodox, so she can't think of the idea that a woman can go out of the boudoir and write poems for money; The gold and silver that are not on the right road, Wang Xifeng will also take it unambiguously, but when she leaves the door of Jiafu, she is not the grandmother in charge, what else can she do? Third Sister You is spicy enough, she is stronger than Miss Shen to deal with those thugs in the market, and her danger is that she will be killed by her own fierceness, and her victory is often a fight for her life. A lone woman, wandered into a dark society, neither died in a foreign land, nor fell into the dust, she actually earned money by embroidering flowers and writing poems, and sang peace with celebrities, drove away the ruffians and hooligans, defeated the treacherous salt merchants, and finally pushed the tolerance of asking for bribes to a high point. In her spare time, she also went to the Qinhuai River to visit the scenery, such a calm mentality, is really a kind of ability and cultivation!

Let's go back to Tang Ning and Du Shaoqing, because they were drunk, they planned to meet this strange woman for a while, so they came to Handkerchief Lane together, and Shen Qiongzhi also knew about Du Shaoqing's name, so he happily invited the two of them in and had a good conversation.

In the end, Shen Qiongzhi even sighed: "I have been in Nanjing for more than half a year, and everyone who comes to me either regards me as a prostitute who leans on the door, or suspects me of being a thief in the rivers and lakes." Only Mr. Du and Mr. Fan really respect me, and the little girl is here to thank you first. ”

Du Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "Miss Shen, you don't have to be like this, I am impressed by your boldness and talent." In this way, aren't you worried about Jiangdu Zhixian there, it just so happens that I still have some friendship with that Mao Zhixian, so I will repair a book, you take it to him, I think he will sell me a face, and deal with your matter, but the silver you owe him to the Zhu family must be returned to him, otherwise it will be a moral loss. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Du, the little girl is grateful." Shen Qiongzhi said gratefully, and then his face was a little embarrassed: "It seems that the silver money in my hand now is not enough to return to the Zhu family, so let's wait until I have saved enough money for a while and then go to Jiangdu Zhixian." ”

At this time, Tang Ning interjected on the side: "Miss Shen, I think it's better to handle this matter as soon as possible, otherwise if the Zhu family cares about you and calculates your arrears according to the Yinzi money, the more you will be in arrears, and as for you not enough here, it will be easy to do, you will use mine first." With that, Tang Ning took out a few hundred taels of silver tickets.

"W-How can this work? How can I use your silver, Mr. Fan. Shen Qiongzhi hurriedly excused himself.

Tang Ning pretended to be displeased and said, "Why can you use Brother Shaoqing's letter, but you can't use my silver?" If you really can't do it, you should take care of me to borrow it, and when you have money, you can go to Panyu and return it to me. ”

"Then, thank you Mr. Fan!"
