Chapter 1 The widow in Fuchun Town lost her husband
If you have friends in Hangzhou, you will definitely hear people talk about Fuchun Town, which is five miles south of the city.
This century-old town, where the Shen family has settled down, is famous for producing several important ministers of the court.
The people here are imperceptibly influenced by it, whether they are rich or poor, and most of them adhere to the style of etiquette and obedience, and respect the eight virtues.
Three years ago, the imperial court recruited 40 young men to fight the Tartars in the north, and only a few people were able to recover after the war was settled.
Some of the women who have suffered vicious changes are determined to be modest wives, their husbands are dead and their children are immature, or their in-laws are old, or their families are poor, but she has always been consistent, vowing to be young and white-headed, and have the heart of gold and stone.
Some are willing to be martyrs, their husbands are not alone, they die calmly, and they are willing to burn jade.
After Shen Shoufu played the emperor, the six doors of chastity were erected at the entrance of the town as glory.
But there are also people who are taken back from their husband's house by their parents' family, and there are many reasons.
Although some have in-laws but no children, their in-laws sympathize with their young age, and they are afraid that they will be difficult to keep in the future, and they will elope and fornicate and humiliate the court, so they accompany them with some money and good voices to send them away.
There are also couples who couldn't bear to forget him in the past, and wanted to keep their hearts quiet, but they had no choice but to return because of the difficulties of their in-laws.
If the mother's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law can accommodate people, set up a courtyard for lodging, and they are also obedient, Jing Hai cloth skirt, living in a simple house all day long by doing needles and stickers to supplement the family, if the mother's family is difficult to tolerate people, the central media mother-in-law will find a way to remarry, but no one will talk about the length or short.
It is said that there is a woman in the town, named Xiao Kite.
Three years ago, in order to rejoice in his sick mother, he married Ma Yunlai, the eldest son of Ma Xi, the county master, as his wife.
Within half a year, bad news came, Ma Yunlai was stabbed in the center to block the enemy's arrows for the general Shen Qishan, and was stabbed in the center of the nest and died.
And here her dead mother is only over seven.
It can be said that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.
The Ma family's in-laws were arrogant and domineering, and they decided that Xiao Yuan was hard to restrain her relatives, and accepted the butcher Zhao Gang to sell her body for a hundred taels of silver, and her shame was unstoppable, and she ran out and jumped into the river from the Zhuangyuan Bridge.
The rest of the story was even more bizarre.
After Xiao Yuan was rescued ashore, his temperament changed drastically, and he did three things that stunned the townspeople.
One was drumming and going to court. The county magistrate is in charge of the decision, and the in-laws are cleared up, and they are retired and returned to their parents' house.
The second pile is to go to Shen's house to seek justice. The Shen family members were officials in Beijing, and their daughters also went with them in the early years.
The old house in Fuchun Town was handed over to Steward Feng to take care of, he was entangled, and sent a letter to the third master Shen Qishan, which was also a perfunctory plan.
The three piles are that this Xiao Kite is different from the widow who lives a light life, she always wears hairpins and flowers in her black hair, lightly dyes rouge, and loves to wear red clothes and dress up freshly.
With the accumulated 200 taels of silver, he bought a building in front of the downtown street, and then took his younger siblings to raise a large plaque of the rich teahouse in front of the eaves, and started to make a living to usher in.
The daylight flicked by, the flower shadow moved between the seats, and in a blink of an eye, the teahouse business was acceptable, but Xiao Kite was notorious.
