Xu Wei, with a long character, is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang. He should be a celebrity in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he is known as the "Three Talents of the Ming Dynasty" with Xie Jin and Yang Shen.

Xu Wei was born in a declining family, and his father, Xu Cong, was a fellow acquaintance of Kuizhou Mansion in Sichuan. Xu Cong's original surname was Tong, and he gave birth to two sons, Xu Huai and Xu Lu, after which Tong fell ill and died.

After Tong's death, his father Xu Cong married another wife, Miao. This Miao is a very good person, and he is deeply liked by Xu Cong, but he just can't have children, which can't help but make Xu Cong very distressed.

You must know that in the feudal Ming Dynasty, the idea of having more children and more blessings was very serious. As a man, if you don't have a few sons, it's not easy to see people after you go out. Especially a family like Xu Cong, although it is in decline, it is also a person who can get by.

So Xu Cong took another concubine when he was sixty years old. This little concubine is really called a beautiful fairy, small and exquisite, and most importantly, very smart, so that a young and beautiful woman is very liked by the old Xu Cong.

Soon, this little concubine was pregnant with Liujia, which made Xu Cong even more happy, that is, he was around the concubine all day long.

Because the Miao family has never given birth to Xu Cong, there is a feeling of cowardice in Xu Cong and even the entire Xu family. Although she was very liked by Xu Cong at first, the mother is more expensive than the son, and there has never been a man and a woman, and she will fall out of favor after a long time.

At this time, the attention of the whole family was focused on the pregnant concubine, who could be described as a collection of thousands of favors.

She was conceived in October, followed by a baby boy. This baby boy is Xu Wei. How can it be that the life of the concubine has been jealous of God, and when Xu Wei was less than a hundred days old, the concubine died.

The saddest thing is that after Xu Wei's mother died, his father Xu Cong's health deteriorated, and he died in less than half a year. Well, Xu Wei, who is less than a year old, is the death of his parents, and he is in infancy.

After that, Xu Wei was naturally raised by the Miao family, who had never given birth. It is said that Miao is really a kind woman, she treats Xu Wei as if she is her own flesh and blood, and dotes on Xu Wei in every way. The young Xu Wei's childhood was also good, but his young heart was very pessimistic.

His parents are dead, although Miao treats him as his own, but who knows the sadness in the heart of the sentimental Xu Wei?

Unfortunate things always happen one after another, and when Xu Wei was fourteen years old, Miao also died. Now Xu Wei is helpless. He is only fourteen years old, and he can't support himself yet, so he has no choice but to live with his eldest brother Xu Huai.

The eldest brother is pro, but the sister-in-law is not. It's okay for the eldest brother to talk there, but every day Xu Wei is at the eldest brother's house, what he sees is the gloomy face of the eldest sister-in-law. Just because her face is ugly, Xu Wei still has to be sneered at by her from time to time.

At this time, Xu Wei was studying in a private school, and there was no way to make money, so he still had to rely on his eldest brother and sister-in-law to survive, so he had to endure it tenaciously.

Hehe! Anyway, it's your brother, so you can't kick me out of the house without shame. No matter how the Xu family said that it was a big family before, they still have to have a poor face.

The concubine itself has no status, Xu Wei has been greatly stimulated since he was a child, and he has set a great ambition to gain fame and fame, and to find the dignity of being a human being. Who said that the children of the concubine will have no interest, and who said that the children of the concubine will not be able to fight for the rights they deserve?

In the white eyes and humiliation, Xu Wei grew to the age of twenty, just in time for the government exam. After the government examination, he was a showman, but unfortunately Xu Wei did not pass the examination. This is just right, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are a lot of ridicule, and the taste of being blinded is unbearable.

Xu Wei should be a very smart person, and he started reading when he was six years old. When he was nine years old, Xu Wei was able to write eight strands of essays smoothly.

Xu Wei also imitated Yang Xiong's "Interpretation of Mockery" to make "Interpretation and Destruction", which caused a sensation in the city at that time. The adoptive mother, Miao, was even happier and couldn't close her eyes for a few days and nights. She thinks that Xu Wei will be able to go to high school when she grows up.

Xu Wei was able to compare with Yang Xiong at a young age, and the local gentlemen called him a prodigy.

When he was less than 20 years old, Xu Wei was associated with Yao Haiqiao, a famous scholar in Vietnam, and was listed as one of the "Ten Sons of Vietnam".

At a banquet, someone deliberately embarrassed Xu Wei, pointed to a small thing on the table and asked him to give it, but secretly ordered the child servant to hold a paper scroll that was more than a long one.

Xu Wei frowned slightly, and then stood up and put the pen down, and in one go, shocked the people in the room.

Legend has it that when Xu Wei was still in private school, his husband saw that he was smart and clever, so he wanted to test him and let him carry two buckets to carry water, during which he had to cross a single-plank bridge. At that time, Xu Wei was young and his strength was insufficient, so it was naturally very difficult. But when Mr. saw Xu Wei happily carrying the water back, he asked the method in surprise, and Xu Wei said happily, "It's naturally much easier to put the bucket in the water!" ”

Boom! At that time, Qin Li's physics discipline had not yet spread, and there was no such concept as buoyancy at all.

Judging from these alone, what is Xu Wei not a prodigy?

But he is such a smart person, but God does not favor him, in short, the next year is another exam, and he still does not pass the exam.

Boom! are all twenty-one years old, and they haven't even been admitted to the show, this is to be an official, if you want to get ahead, this is not until the Year of the Monkey?

The most unbearable thing is that the Xu family is declining day by day, and at this time, there is even no money left in the family, Xu Wei's study has become a problem, and he has to do things at this time. What to do? It is impossible for Xu Wei, who wants to get ahead and become an official, not to study. At this extremely difficult time, Xu Wei wrote to the officials who supervised the school and asked for a retest.

At that time, he was extremely sad and indignant, it was indeed not easy for his eldest brother and sister-in-law to raise him, but couldn't the children born from the concubine inherit a part of the family property? Although the family road is falling, how can it be said that there are still hundreds of acres of good fields?

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh again, alas! It is not bad that the eldest brother and sister-in-law can support themselves for so many years, and people can't have too many requirements for others.

Just when Xu Wei was in an embarrassment, he suddenly got lucky. Xu Wei is going to peach blossom luck, there is a rich man surnamed Pan in the village, and there is only one daughter in the family. The woman's name is Pan Meiniang, and the one who looks good is called a beautiful one, and she is very smart.

But it's incredible that such a good woman has taken a fancy to the ugly Xu Wei for some reason. The Pan family has only one condition, that is, to let Xu Wei join the Pan family and be their son-in-law. (To be continued.) )
