Compared with the town, the streets of the city are not only spacious and large, but also clean and tidy, and along the way, you can often see the peddlers' pawns and the pulp sellers, and the cries of the hawkers are heard one after another.

The number of restaurants, restaurants, inns, and shops of all kinds is not comparable to that of the town.

As he walked, Xue Langjing walked outside a teahouse.

The street is constantly filled with the cries of small traders and vendors, and the teahouse is also full of people, which seems to be more lively than outside.

Looking at this appearance, it probably means that there is a storyteller in it, otherwise it wouldn't be so lively.

Reading miscellaneous notes, scripts and the like is Xue Langjing's favorite in his spare time, and listening to books is the same, the storyteller is full of emotion, sometimes more interesting than watching it himself.

It's just that she used to go out hunting almost every day, and she didn't have much time off every month, and it was troublesome to get to the town to listen to a book, so she didn't have much opportunity to listen to it.

Since you're passing by here today, why don't you go in and listen?

Thinking so, Xue Langjing walked into the teahouse.

When I entered the teahouse, I saw an old man sitting in the stand, who was brushing his beard and looking down, obviously not yet speaking.

Under the stands, the outside was almost full of people, and only one passage into the inside remained.

From the passage, there were quite a few tea tables inside, and the tea tables were almost full, and only a few empty seats remained.

Looks like this storytelling should begin.

Xue Langjing beckoned Xiao Er, who was standing on the side, "Little Second Brother, which one are you going to talk about later?" ”

The little second hurriedly stepped forward and nodded enthusiastically and said, "Back to the guest officer, the next one is about the talented daughter of the family recruiting the poor scholar and her love for a lifetime." ”

Talented women's daughters?

As soon as she heard that this name was quite unique, and her sisters were also recruited, Xue Langjing immediately became interested and planned to ask for a cup of tea to hear this story.

However, she didn't know what the consumption level was in the city, so she had to ask first, "How much does this tea cost?" ”

Xiao Er opened his five fingers and said, "Guest officer, our price is notoriously fair, a pot of five cents, and you can refill the cup." ”

"Okay, bring me a pot", Xue Langjing found a vacant seat and sat down.

"Okay, you wait a minute, come right away", said Xiao Er, then turned his head to the lobby and shouted, "Table 18, a pot of tea." ”

Xue Langjing had just sat down, and before the tea came up, the old man sitting in the stands slapped the wood and soon started talking.

And in a few moments, the tea she asked for was also on the table.

Drinking tea and listening to stories is the most pleasant thing in life.

Xue Langjing, who was sitting there comfortably, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes, and listened to the story on the stage.

It is said that once upon a time, there was a Zhang Juren, who had thousands of acres of fertile land and several mansions, and he was also a literary and elegant person, and he was a rare local literati and wealthy household.

Such a person should be the envy of countless people.

However, the son is thin, there is only one daughter under his knees, and he has lost his wife in middle age, and he and his wife have loved each other all their lives, and they do not want to marry a concubine to continue the incense, but they love their daughter, regardless of everyone's opposition, they refuse to set up a son and nephew as an heir, but to recruit for their beloved daughter.

For the only child under his knees, Zhang Juren naturally regards his daughter as the pearl of his palm, and has been pampered since he was a child, and he has also taught him carefully.

And this Miss Zhang is also extremely intelligent, and she has gradually grown into a well-known talented woman under the teaching of Juren, and there is an endless stream of people who are asking for marriage, which can be said to be a family with hundreds of women!

It's a pity that the Zhang family is only willing to recruit them, so they can't do it.

Zhang Juren finally recruited a down-and-out scholar surnamed Liu as his son-in-law, who was still Miss Zhang's own photo, and he did not interfere too much in his daughter's marriage.

After the recruitment, Zhang Juren personally paved the way for her son-in-law, and Miss Zhang also assisted her husband in studying with her extraordinary talents.

It's just that Zhang Juren couldn't let go of his wife in his heart after the death of his beloved wife, and soon he became ill, and he died only a year after recruiting his son-in-law, leaving only Miss Zhang and his wife.

That Miss Zhang also had a good way, not only repelling the clansmen who coveted her own property, but also successfully helping her husband to pass the Xiucai examination.

The husband and wife were so fond of each other, raised their eyebrows, and loved each other for three years.

However, three years later, I don't know how many decoctions I have taken and how many times I have worshiped Miss Zhang, who has sent her son Guanyin, has not come out, and she cannot continue the incense for her family as her father expected.

At this time, the scholar also told Miss Zhang the truth about what he had concealed.

It turned out that this scholar was also the only son in the family.

I heard that her husband was the only son in the family, and Miss Zhang was also unusually virtuous, thinking that she was destined to be childless under her knees, it was a fact that her Zhang family cut off the incense.

But the husband is also an only son, and his family can't be interrupted, but the husband's family can still be continued!

Regardless of the scholars' objections, she made the decision to take two concubines for her husband.

Hearing this, Xue Langjing couldn't help frowning, this was different from what she imagined.

Looking at the audience around her, it seemed that they were all fascinated, and even in her ears she could vaguely hear some women praising how much this scholar loved Miss Zhang, and she really envied that Miss Zhang, who was loved by her father and loved by her husband.

Naturally, I can also hear some men praise how virtuous this young lady is.

When I was young, I heard Old Man Zhang explain to himself the meaning of raising eyebrows.

The general idea is that every time a woman serves a meal to her husband, she does not dare to look up at him in front of the other person, but will raise the plate of the rice as high as her own eyebrows to show her respect for her husband.

Can a woman who inherits a family business respect her husband so grovelly?

At this moment, Xue Langjing only felt that no matter how good the tea was, it tasted the same as chewing wax, and it was not so tasteful.

But she also spent five cents to order the tea, so she had to drink the tea money back.

Besides, listening to some people behind me, this story is made up of real people and real events, isn't he going to write Journey to the West? It's just a matter of adding material to it.

Therefore, Xue Langjing chose to continue listening.

said that Miss Zhang accepted two concubines for the scholar, and the two concubines were also angry, and each gave birth to a son for the scholar.

Miss Zhang is not only jealous or jealous of the two concubines, but is kind to them, not to mention the harmony between the wives and concubines, she also treats her husband's two sons as her own, and takes care of them to grow up, quite the style of a housewife.

While raising her two sons, Miss Zhang also continued to assist scholars in their studies, running around for him, and helping him to be admitted to the Juren.

Later, under her careful teaching and running, the two sons were both admitted to the examination.

The Liu family's three people, coupled with the father-in-law who is also a person, made this family a well-known story, and it was widely spread in later generations.
