The wind is bleak and the morning is cold, the morning dew has already hung on the branches and leaves of many flowers and trees, and all kinds of birds seem to celebrate the tranquility and tranquility of this morning, all of which are vigorously showing their very wonderful singing voices and singing to their heart's content.

Many of the drinks and dishes on the table have been eaten in pieces, a large plate of roast suckling pig has only the last bit of lean meat left, and the shells of peanuts and melon seeds are piled up on this small table.

Pu Songling seemed to remember something, so he didn't keep his mouth shut, and saw that everyone was tired of talking, so he asked:

"Recently, a person told us a very famous story, and this story is very interesting, I wonder if adults are still willing to hear it?"

Runzhi naturally responded to the requirements of the people, so he raised his hand and said:

"Sir, it's okay to please!"

Pu Songling cleared his throat, and slowly drank a glass of boiled water very solemnly, so he told his story:

Legend has it that in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a boatman named Zhang Fangcheng, who was very hardworking and willing to work, and was a very honest person.

Zhang Fangcheng is very thrifty, very willing to sell coolies, when the boat is supported, often other people's families start to ferry when the sun comes out, but because the Liao army in the north pressed the border, so many people on the northern border rushed to the south day and night to avoid the war that might occur at any time. This has brought a lot of business to Zhang Fangcheng, who makes a living as a ferryman, but because these people often arrive at night, so they make more money, this Zhang Fangcheng works hard day and night, compressing his rest time to a minimum, just to receive more guests, so as to win more income.

This Zhang Fangcheng has a very shrewd and calculating wife, and the two have a baby daughter, because there is no son, this will make Zhang Fangcheng always feel that he can't raise his head among the crowd, but Zhang Fangcheng tried thousands of good Chinese herbs to replenish yang, but after all, he still failed to give birth to a child, but because of the tossing with his wife every night, he made a lot less money during the day.

Zhang Fangcheng is a very traditional man, in his opinion, to be a man is to stand up to the sky, to stand tall in front of the world, to make his family and Meimei, children and grandchildren full, to make his family live a good life through his own efforts, but he thought that there was no son in the heart, so his heart was actually very anxious.

Seeing his wife getting older and older year by year, until she finally passed thirty, after all, no matter how Zhang Fangcheng tossed, the child was still not born, and finally this Zhang Fangcheng had to accept his fate. Passionate about e-books

Even if he only has one daughter, this Zhang Fang Cheng is not discouraged at all, this Zhang Fang Cheng seems to be enchanted, and on a whim, he wants to raise his only daughter as a boy, and he also named his daughter Zhang Ruonan, which means that the Zhang family is a woman like a man.

In order to better cultivate his only child, this Fang Cheng worked desperately for others all day long, from morning to night, getting up earlier than the chicken in the morning, and sleeping later than the dog at night, so day after day, working day and night to make money, learning the conventions of large families, spending money to invite a very high private school teacher, to be a tutor for his only baby daughter, and his wife and parents, living in his own rented house in the city. Looking for Zhang Fangcheng himself, he eats and lives on the boat, except for sending silver tickets to his family on schedule every month, Zhang Fangcheng and his family rarely see each other, and they are all making money for others on the ferry day and night.

This is not an easy job to ferry for others. This ferry boat can generally take more than a dozen people, because there are a lot of people in the south, often more than a dozen people every time, the boat walks on the water, everyone hopes that the boat can be faster, so that you can make more money, but if it is fast, it is easy to produce some swaying, so that there will always be some vulgar passengers reprimanded, if it is slow, not to mention the reprimand of passengers, some passengers are unreasonable and horizontal, and they simply do not even give the fare.

Because this Zhang Fangcheng was busy making money all day long, he had no time to take care of his wife and daughter at home, and finally made the wife at home think that he was lonely and cold, and the Ximen Qing official next door saw that there was a purple mother and daughter next door who were not bad, so he inquired everywhere about the origin of the two, and learned that the man with such a beautiful wife and daughter was actually a boatman who ferried for others, and this Ximen Qing official had evil intentions and tried every means to get these two people into his own hands, so this person racked his heart, With various reasons, he sent something to the house next door, sending a rouge gouache today, a silk cloth tomorrow, and gold and silver jewelry the day after tomorrow.

Since then, this Zhang Fangcheng's wife and daughter except for Zhang Fangcheng's day when he went home to deliver silver tickets on the first day of the new month, the rest of the time actually stayed in the home of the rich man of Ximenqing, and let Ximenqing tease in countless dark nights, thousands of styles, and finally both of them became pregnant, you say this is not strange, this good charm is still about thirty years old, under Zhang Fangcheng's all kinds of nourishment and yang, she will not get pregnant, but under the teasing of the rich man of Ximenqing for only a few months, she is pregnant, actually got pregnant with her daughter, and what was even more bloody was that both of them were pregnant with the blood of the rich man of Ximenqing.

Seeing that the bellies of the two of them are bulging day by day, seeing that it goes down as follows, if this Fang Cheng comes to give the silver ticket again, it will inevitably be discovered by Zhang Fangcheng, how can this Zhang Fangcheng be willing to give up at that time?

"What to do, if my husband knows, he will definitely fight with you"

"If people know that I, a young girl, are actually pregnant with my mother's child, how can I still live in this world?"

"Relax, I will have a way to deal with Zhang Fangcheng, you can rest assured!"

This rich man of Ximen Qing naturally persuaded the mother and daughter to be relieved.

So how did this rich man of Ximen Qing make this mother and daughter feel relieved.

It turned out that this rich man of Ximenqing deliberately spent a lot of money to buy off the local officials who were responsible for managing these ferries, so that the corrupt officials found a reason, saying that there was a problem with this Fangcheng ferry and that it needed to stop operating within a week. It turns out that this Ximen Qing thinks that this Fang Cheng has been in the water all the year round, and it is not easy to rectify him, so it is better to detain his boat, as long as it is left on land for a long time, then it means that he can find a way to do him anytime and anywhere.
