Although the Wu family is very noble, Wu Shigong's status in the family is very low. How low is it? That is, it is a little better than the house slave in the family. Even in some terms of treatment, it is not as good as those favored housekeepers and maids.

Wu Shigong and his father Wu Weizhong himself are dignified in appearance, and pursue culture, and he has that kind of elegant temperament all over his body, which is also quite in line with the social mainstream of the Ming Dynasty at that time, "everything is inferior, only reading is high". His sons are basically handsome, but Wu Shigong is more unusual, with a thick and strong figure. Of course, this is not to say that he is not his father's species, but his appearance and figure are mostly his mother.

In fact, because of Wu Weizhong's inheritance, Wu Shigong's appearance is not bad, and in modern times, he can be regarded as a hard-core student and an action star, but his appearance and figure do not conform to the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, people thought that only lowly peddlers and pawns could look like him. I don't want to mention the shortcomings in appearance, but also because Wu Shigong's background is very low. As the saying goes, a mother is more expensive than a son, but on the other hand, the status of the mother is low, and the status of the son is not as high as that.

One day eighteen years ago, Gongshun Hou Wu Weizhong went to a friend's house as a guest, stayed drunk and stayed overnight, and pushed down a stout girl in his family. A few months later, a friend sent the rough girl who was already pregnant to Wu Weizhong. Seeing this pregnant woman, Wu Weizhong was taken aback. It's not because he suddenly had a child, Wu Weizhong is still quite confident in his firepower, but the rough girl is too ugly, with a stout figure and a rough appearance.

According to the social atmosphere at this time, it is common to treat guests to bed with beautiful maids, which is also an elegant thing. But like Wu Weizhong's behavior this time, it can be called hungry, and the reputation is ...... There is no need to say anything more, as you can imagine. Anyway, because of the rapid spread of this matter, Wu Weizhong faintly became a joke in the circle of nobles in the capital, which made Wu Weizhong lose face. It is only with the passage of time that this matter has gradually faded into oblivion in recent years. But the thorn in Wu Weizhong's heart has been pierced, and it can't be removed.

For Xungui, there is no shortage of wealth and shili, and the most important thing in this circle is face. After losing face, Wu Weizhong did not admit it, and accepted Wu Shigong and his mother. But Wu Weizhong's heart was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly. may also understand Wu Weizhong's opinion of himself, Wu Shigong's mother is very simple, she died of childbirth when she gave birth to Wu Shigong, and she threw down her son, so that she couldn't close her eyes and be upset. But facing Wu Shigong every day, Wu Weizhong can't be out of sight and out of mind. Therefore, Wu Weizhong's attitude towards Wu Shigong is basically to turn a blind eye. His attitude also determined the attitude of the rest of the Wu Mansion towards Wu Shigong.

In life, Wu Weizhong did not treat Wu Shigong badly. Eat and clothe them well, arrange maids and maids to serve, and provide them with reading. But there is basically no other treatment. Wu Shigong's position in the entire Wu family's Hou Mansion was also very marginal, and even the courtyard where he lived was closest to the place where the servants of the Hou Mansion lived. The treatment conditions are even inferior to Wu Weizhong's concubines. Needless to say, the bullying of his family, even some high-status slaves and maids bullied him openly or secretly.

Therefore, don't look at Wu Shigong's tall and big, he grew up in ignorance and white eyes, he is very taciturn and very introverted. However, in the face of adversity, Wu Shigong has a fiery heart of struggle under his ice-like appearance. Studying, becoming an official in the examination, honoring the ancestors, and getting ahead are Wu Shigong's goals. Especially the eldest brother Wu Shixun, who became a jinshi, is his idol. From childhood to adulthood, Wu Shigong gave up all the time for entertainment and making friends, and devoted himself to studying, firmly believing that he could make up for his shortcomings and realize his dreams in his heart.

But Wu Shigong is indeed not a piece of reading material. In addition to opening the back door for him at home to get a talent to make a name for himself, in addition to getting him a prisoner at home to study, and he can be a prisoner after graduation, other ...... Not much more. You must know that the Wu family is now a scholarly family, whether it is the family heirloom, or the Western seats and Qing guests raised by the Wu family, it can be said that they are talking and laughing, and their experts' certification of Wu Shigong's reading ability must be very authoritative. But Wu Shigong did not believe in this evil, he did not believe in the vision of these experts, and paranoid firmly believed that he would definitely be able to succeed. Maybe, after all, Wu Shigong was only eighteen years old at this time, and the road of life was still very long. Perhaps, one day in the future, his head will suddenly open up. Therefore, Wu Weizhong continued to support Wu Shigong to study. Of course, none of them expected that Wu Shigong's fate had indeed changed, but not because of the opening of his head, but because of the opening of his head.

But a few days ago, a big thunderbolt came to the clear sky, and his father set a family affair for him, and gave him to another wealthy family, the Yang Wu Marquis Xue family. In fact, his father Wu Weizhong is also kind-hearted, and the contemporary Yangwu Marquis has only one daughter, and with Wu Shigong's accession, he can continue to inherit the bloodline; And Wu Shigong, a concubine who is not very capable, also has a very good home, at least he is rich and noble in this life. It's clearly a win-win for both companies. For Wu Shigong personally, he also has a home. But Wu Shigong didn't think so.

Wu Shigong has always believed that he is very hard-working, and as long as he works a little harder, he will definitely have a bright future. And now, this kind of marriage has ruined his dreams. Even if he is a son-in-law, he can barely participate in the scientific examination, but after high school, he will definitely become a joke in Shilin and a shame in officialdom. He didn't expect at all that with his ability and the judgment of these people in the Shilin around his father, Wu Shigong would not become a member of the Shilin at all and become a Qingliu official. He's a little self-inflicted.

But when it comes to marriage, it is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. According to Wu Shigong's status in the family, it is even more impossible to overturn Wu Weizhong's decision. Wu Shigong, who was holding back his grievances, could only accept it silently. But yesterday, when Wu Shigong went to school in Guozijian, there were so many classmates who were also the children of Guixun and had a more mean personality who laughed at him for going to the house, didn't this pour salt on Wu Shigong's wounds?

In normal times, because of his introverted personality, Wu Shigong was bullied by them, and most of the time he was silent and silently avoided. But at this time, as if adding fuel to the fire, the honest man lost his temper. At that moment, as if the soul of the ancestor was possessed, the blood of the Mongolian man came up, and Wu Shigong shook his fist and hit it. Unfortunately, the soul of the ancestor is only half possessed, and the blood of the Mongolian man is there, but the fighting and wrestling jishu of the Mongolian man is not possessed. Even though he had a burly body, he was hit to the ground by those classmates. In the chaos, I don't know who kicked him in the head, Wu Shigong fell into a coma, and the classmates who caused the trouble dispersed in a hurry, and the unconscious Wu Shigong also sent back the husband and miscellaneous servants of the Guozijian.

Maybe the injury is too severe; Maybe it's an overabundance of grief; Maybe not, maybe ...... Anyway, it happened to be cheaper than the modern Wu Shigong, and the crossing was possessed by him. As a result, Wu Shigong now, except for some memories left, everything else is controlled by the one who has crossed over. has completely become a brand-new Wu Shigong.

Thinking about all this, Wu Shigong (Wu Shigong in the future in the text is completely the thinking and behavior of the later generations) couldn't help but pouted and thought: "It seems that the unlucky guy has a very low IQ - he can't study; Low emotional intelligence - not sociable; The financial quotient is very low -- basically a young man with no property. That's it, what's wrong with being a son-in-law? At least for the rest of my life, I don't have to worry about food and clothing. If it were me, I would have been crying and shouting to be a son-in-law. ”

Despised the unlucky bastard, Wu Shigong then thought: "You must know that among all the marriages of men, being a son-in-law is the most cost-effective one, and there is no one. It's better than marrying a rich woman or a wealthy daughter. You have to understand that if you marry a rich woman or the daughter of a wealthy family, you have to wear a pair of shorts to get married. And to be a son-in-law, you just need to get married around the newspaper! That's a world of difference! The only thing to lose is to save face. But what kind of face did that unlucky guy have? White-eyed at home, fisted outside. Wu Shigong has always believed that a man's face is worth maintaining only if it is tied to interests. If there is no benefit, how much is face worth? Don't say that you can give up face, but you can get benefits, do things like a son-in-law, lose face, and there are indeed too many benefits to be obtained. The only real loss is his son's naming rights, but is he stupid or not, he won't go outside to raise other women? The Ming Dynasty did not have the crime of bigamy. As long as you have the ability, no one will take care of you if you raise ten or eight women outside. ”

As for the unlucky guy who was afraid that he would be angry at his father-in-law's mother-in-law's house, he didn't want to think about it, didn't he suffer less anger in his own home? Since he doesn't want to, let me accept the glorious job of my son-in-law! What kind of work is not to survive in the cracks? Wu Shigong thought proudly. pondered carefully: "To be a son-in-law, isn't the nature of this job essentially to be a **?" Do **, I love it! That's the real thing...... Survive in the cracks! Wu Shigong was a little proud of the witty words he suddenly came up with, and couldn't help but laugh out loud with a smug "hehe".

The laughter alarmed the little maid who was dozing off on the bench on the edge of the bed, and a small head quickly got into the cloth tent beside the bed and came in front of Wu Shigong.

"Young Master, you're awake." The little maid had fluffy hair, red eyes, and asked nervously, "Are you okay?" Are you feeling better? As she spoke, she kept looking Wu Shigong up and down, and found that Wu Shigong seemed to be fine, and a smile bloomed on her face. This joy is fully displayed from the inside out, setting off this little girl's extraordinary beauty.

Wu Shigong recognized this little maid as the only maid he served, named Xiuzhu. The entire Hou Mansion is the best relationship between this little girl and herself, and the two of them can be said to depend on each other in the midst of heavy oppression. Looking at the embroidered bamboo with a cute look on his face, Wu Shigong also felt very kind and happy, so he couldn't help but smile and tease her: "Everything else is fine, just one thing is not good, young master, I find that I don't know who you are now." ”

Xiuzhu's face suddenly became panicked, and she was nervous for a while, but as soon as she saw Wu Shigong's evil smile on her face, she understood that Wu Shigong was playing tricks on her. Xiaoyan turned white at Wu Shigong, and said in a greasy voice: "Young master, you are a liar, you are the worst." ”

Wu Shigong was shocked by the flying eyes of embroidered bamboo, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, although he was a beautiful embryo, he also made a charming demeanor. I sighed in my heart that this little girl from the Ming Dynasty was really precocious. In an instant, Wu Shigong's heart was full of joy, reincarnated as a human being, a stable life, a rich future, and a beautiful maid...... All of this made Wu Shigong unable to bear it anymore.

If you can't bear it, then you don't need to endure it anymore, Wu Shigong drained all his lung capacity, and shouted to Xiuzhu: "Xiuzhu, I love you so much!" Then he got up happily.
