On a summer afternoon, there are many small boats rowing on the river, all of whom are fishermen from nearby villages who make a living from fishing. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The area south of He1 is located in the Central Plains, with many rivers, known as the "small Jiangnan". People say that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, this is the truth.

On a small boat, a tanned-skinned, forty-year-old man with a hat on his head rowed forward, holding a pole in his hand.

"Daddy—"

There was a crisp call in his ears, and when the man looked back, he saw a small head poking out of the canopy, and shouted at him: "Cousin, he has woken up, come and take a look." ”

When the man heard his daughter's words, he hurriedly put down the pole in his hand, stepped in front of the canopy in a few steps, and looked inside, his nephew had really woken up, and scolded when he opened his mouth: "Why are you so unproductive? Isn't it just that the mother-in-law at home is arguing with you? A big man can't even think about it and runs to seek death? ”

The young man lay there shirtless, and when he heard the reprimand of the "uncle" in front of him, he did not defend himself, nor did he show displeasure, but grinned bitterly.

He had just woken up, and his head was still a little confused, but he also knew where he was at the moment.

Previously, he had a long dream, and many things in the dream could not be remembered clearly. When I woke up, I found myself inexplicably in the river, and the water around me was constantly pouring into my mouth and nose. Somehow, a large number of memories that didn't belong to me suddenly flooded into my mind, and then I passed out again.

When I woke up again, it was the scene I was in.

The man reprimanded him a few words, then shook his head and sighed: "Your mother-in-law is really too disagreeable, she usually doesn't say anything about your mother's filial piety, I have heard that she and the son of the landlord in your village also hooked up......"

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, and sighed again: "Alas, your uncle and I have another mouth, forget it, don't talk about these annoying things, you can lie down for a while, this is about to get home." I want to let your mother know that you ran to throw yourself into the river, but how sad it is! ”

"Grandma, look at your brother, don't let him do stupid things again."

The man instructed his daughter to take good care of his nephew, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the bow of the boat.

"Got it, Daddy!"

The little girl answered, looked at her cousin again, and said with a smile: "Brother, you have to be obedient, hehe, you have to jump down again, my father and I don't care about you." ”

This little cousin's name is Wang Xueyuan, and she should only be thirteen or fourteen years old now. Because he often followed his father out to fish, his skin was tanned to wheat. But instead of ruining her beauty, it made her look more healthy and energetic. When a pair of big black eyes blinked, there was a hint of wit.

Of course, he wouldn't have evil thoughts about such a little girl, he just felt that this little cousin was very cute.

"Ahem...... Don't worry, I'm not going to do stupid things anymore. ”

He cleared his throat and replied with a light smile, his voice still a little weak. This is what he said in his heart, he finally had a chance to live, how could he be stupid enough to do such a thing as seeking death?

Besides, the so-called "daughter-in-law" in the family has nothing to do with herself, so can she be guilty of seeking death for that kind of woman?

His name is Lu Cheng, no, to be precise, it should be the original owner of the current body, whose name is Lu Cheng. In addition, there is also a table word, Xianchun.

The three generations of the Lu family have been passed down, and Lu Cheng's grandfather is a scholar, and he has never been admitted to Xiucai in his life. However, my father was a little more angry, and he took the exam for more than 20 years from childhood to old age, and he actually broke his grandfather's record at the age of 39, and he really took the exam before coming back.

In my memory, the family was very happy at that time, and even many people in the village also brought gifts to congratulate them. The atmosphere was even more lively than during the New Year.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high!

In this feudal era, reading was the only way out for the poor. Once he is admitted to a showman, although he can't be an official, his status is not low, he belongs to the gentry class, and he has a lot of face in the village.

It was at that time that his father won the show, and many families in the village began to come to the door to propose marriage, and after some selection, Lu Cheng married his current daughter-in-law, that is, the "mother-in-law" in his uncle's mouth.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.

Three years ago, Lu Cheng's father suddenly became seriously ill, spent all the family's savings, and borrowed money from relatives and neighbors, but he was not cured, and finally died.

The family is in the middle of the road, and the days are getting poorer and poorer, and Lu Cheng's daughter-in-law can't stand it. At the beginning, I thought that I could enjoy happiness with your Lu family, but this is good, but I suffered when I got married.

At the beginning, he was still holding back, but as Lu Cheng failed to pass the Xiucai exam, the contradiction between the two became deeper and deeper, and quarrels became commonplace, which is something that many outsiders know.

Lu Cheng's temperament is a little cowardly, under normal circumstances, he can't quarrel with his wife, and in the end, he can only hold his sulk, but he is helpless against that woman.

Yesterday, when Lu Cheng came back from participating in the hospital examination in Fucheng, he heard someone say that his wife and the son of the Zhao landlord in the village seemed to have an improper relationship.

Is this still worth it?

No matter how good-tempered Lu Cheng is, he will never tolerate others putting a green hat on his head.

At that moment, when he returned home, he asked the woman if she had something to do with someone.

As a result, the woman did not mean to be afraid at all, but looked very proud. also took his face seriously, and threatened that he was not used to this kind of hard life, even if he went to be a concubine for Zhao Gongzi, it would be better than the current life of poverty, so that Lu Cheng would divorce her earlier.

At that time, Lu Cheng wrote a letter of resignation, but his mother on the side dissuaded him, and the book of resignation was also snatched from his hand by his mother and torn to pieces.

How could that woman give up?

This morning, he deliberately provoked Lu Cheng's anger again, and the two had an argument again, and Lu Cheng went out of the house in a fit of anger and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "God, if you let me come here, can't I devote myself to a free prince, or a rich son?" ”

Wang Xueyuan looked at him from the side, first stunned, then shook her head and smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but push him: "Brother, what are you doing in a daze?" You can't think about it again, right? ”

He came back to his senses, looked at the lovely cousin in front of him, and suddenly felt that God was not treating him well. In his previous life, he was an orphan and did not enjoy a day of family affection. Now, there are a few people who really care about themselves, right?

Besides, there is no place to buy this regret medicine, and it is already very good to survive!

From today on, I will be Lu Cheng!

Thinking so, he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm thinking about something." ”

After the words fell, Lu Cheng sat up with his arms barely propped up. Looking at the river in front of you, the turquoise lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers on the riverside, the grass on both banks, a few children playing in the river on the bank, a few fishing boats in the water not far away, and the green and yellow rice fields in the distance......

The life of the Ming Dynasty doesn't seem to be too bad?

The boat stopped on the shore, Lu Cheng's home was still some distance away, his uncle came to help him get off the boat, and despite his refusal, he took one arm and rushed back in the direction of his house.

Lu Cheng was speechless for a while, is this worried that I won't be able to leave, or is he afraid that I will run away to commit suicide again?

Lu Cheng let his uncle hold his body, and as soon as he returned to the outside of the small courtyard of his house, he heard the woman's sharp voice coming from inside the house: "You shameless old woman, why do you want to pull me up when your family is living a hard life?" Your unproductive son is going to divorce me, but you still want me to stay in your house, why are you so shameless? ”

"Bang-"

The room was followed by the sound of objects falling to the ground.
