Chapter 100: The Widow of the Lookout

Tang Taikai's youngest son has been frail and sickly since he was a child, so he doesn't like kung fu.

Coupled with his father's doting, he didn't dare to be interested in the imperial examination, but he just liked to chant poetry and paint, and he was a little elegant.

When I was a teenager, most of them traveled with a group of rich sons from Qingjiang County, and went in and out of the building, boat, show, and Yingxiangyan dance.

Such a good thing, when he arrived in the real iron-blooded military camp, coupled with the deliberate "care" of someone above, where did he suffer such high-intensity military training and hard work.

It is already a miracle to be able to hold on for three months.

Tang Taikai's youngest son was tired to death in the school field, and naturally became a big laughing stock all of a sudden.

In Qingjiang County, this matter has been spread all over the city at once, and it has become a laughing capital for every household after tea and dinner.

The first emperor was enlightened, and the Qin Dynasty judged a person's talent by virtue of the seven arts, such as etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, mathematics, and martial arts.

Scholars who are proficient in all the seven arts will naturally be reused by the imperial court.

However, people have their own strengths, coupled with the difference in their small environment, naturally there are people who are only good at a few categories of the seven arts, but they are not very proficient in other categories of the seven arts.

For these people, the imperial court also has corresponding evaluation standards.

Therefore, some literati who do not know kung fu, do not understand the magic of Xuanmen, and have no power to restrain chickens also have a way to be promoted.

But after all, Great Qin established the country by force.

Isn't it a big joke that the son of a dignified military lord, who had never fought the enemy, died of exhaustion on the school field during training.

The entire Tang family laughed shamefully for a while.

However, other people's jokes are someone else's business, for Tang Taikai, his son died of exhaustion in the school field, and after his death, he became the laughing stock of others.

How he was not angry in his heart.

Because of excessive grief, Tang Taikai died of depression not long after finishing his youngest son's funeral.

After Tang Taikai's death, his eldest son naturally inherited his title and all his property, and suddenly became the new head of the Tang family.

Tang Taikai's eldest son is named Tang Maoying, and Tang Maoying is Hongyu's father.

Tang Maoying is amorous and lustful.

Relying on the wealth and power in his family, he took a total of three flat wives and eight concubines.

These eleven wives gave birth to eighteen children to Tang Maoying.

Eight sons and ten daughters.

Hongyu is the daughter born to Tang Maoying's third concubine, and she is the seventh in the family.

Hongyu's mother is only the daughter of a tenant under the name of the Tang family.

Because this tenant could not afford to pay the rent, he had to let his daughter work as a maid for the Tang family to offset the rent.

As a result, Tang Maoying, who was still the eldest young master of the Tang family at that time, saw that this woman was beautiful and outstanding, and her lust moved, so she used force on her and married her as her third-party concubine.

As the daughter of a concubine, coupled with her mother's poor background, Hongyu's mother and daughter naturally have a very low status in the Tang family, and their lives are also very difficult.

Originally, the fate that was waiting for Hongyu was that when she grew up, she would be married to someone.

In fact, she did have a family affair at one time.

A family affair that has made her unforgettable to this day.

The Tang family is rich in Qingjiang County, the property under his name is amazing, and the business involved is even more varied, so there are many powerful and rich people who usually come and go to the Tang family.

And between the powerful and the rich, in order to stabilize their respective families and status, and form allies, the most common method used is naturally marriage.

Most of Hongyu's brothers and sisters have not avoided such a fate.

Even Hongyu was also married by her father to the son of a wealthy businessman of the same age as her in a neighboring county.

The two parties made an appointment to marry, and when their children were eighteen years old, they came to the marriage.

The matter of marriage is just the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

For being promised to be married, Hong Yu didn't have any real feelings at first.

Until she was eighteen years old.

She was supposed to get married, but she was dismissed.

The reason for the divorce was not that there was something wrong with Hongyu and the Tang family.

It's her fiancé who has a problem.

This Hong Yu's faceless fiancé was originally heard to be a handsome and dashing figure with both intelligence.

It's a pity that one day, he took his entourage to the suburbs, but met a wandering monk.

This wandering monk was ragged and sloppy, and he could smell the stench on his body from a distance of ten or so steps.

But as soon as Hongyu's fiancé met this person, he was as if he was stunned, his eyes were dull, and the whole person was motionless, just burst into tears.

Then he suddenly laughed three more times, tore his clothes to tatters, and pointed at the monk You Fang and cried and laughed.

"I have dreamed for eighteen years, and today I know that I am me!"

Saying this, he immediately followed the wandering monk without looking back.

The entourage who followed Hongyu's fiancé panicked and tried their best to catch up, but this wandering monk seemed to have some origins, and the two little entourages couldn't catch up.

In just the blink of an eye, Hongyu's fiancé was lost like this.

After Hongyu's fiancé went missing, his family tried their best to find him, but they never found anything.

It wasn't until three months later that a letter from an errand arrived at home.

The family letter was written by Hongyu's fiancé.

In his letter to his family, he expressed his gratitude and deep apologies for the kindness of his parents, but now he has seen through the red dust and just wants to become a monk.

After Hongyu's fiancé's family received the letter, they were naturally angry and anxious, but they were helpless.

And after thinking of the marriage with the Tang family, they weighed it and had to inform the Tang family of this matter.

If the Tang family is reluctant, the marriage can be dissolved, if the Tang family is willing, they will naturally wait for the lost uncle to find it, and after changing their minds, they will come back to complete the marriage.

After getting this, Tang Maoying was naturally trembling with anger at first.

But he thought about it again, but he didn't want to ruin the business relationship between the two companies.

He finally decided to sacrifice his daughter's happiness to keep her waiting.

Although perhaps, everyone knows that this lost uncle may never come back.

But who cares?

In this way, Hongyu, who has never passed through the door, became a widow in ignorance!

Hongyu's mother and daughter were originally not having a good time in the Tang family, and after she became a widow, everyone in the Tang family regarded her as a mourning star.

The imaginary happy marriage did not come, but it ushered in such grievances.

Hongyu doesn't know how many times she cried secretly, and her mother washed her face with tears all day long.

In this way, in the disgusted eyes of the Tang family, another year passed.

This year, a new problem was placed in front of the Tang family.

Tang Maoying inherited his father's military title, and relying on the privilege of the military lord, he maintained the family's wealth.

But here comes the problem, while inheriting the rights, he also inherits the obligations.

This meant that one of his sons and daughters had to go to the army.
