Chapter 806: Wang Baguan
Cuicui's marriage has been settled, Xu Hao also returned to Yongshun, and promised Cuicui that she would not say goodbye before leaving. When I arrived in the city, I met the editor-in-chief Zhao who saved people with righteousness.
It turned out that the editor-in-chief Zhao was a helper invited by Wu Jing, and he was also a scholar, so it was impossible for him not to see death without saving him, Xu Hao did not say a word about this, but held a banquet in the evening to express his gratitude to the editor-in-chief Zhao.
At the banquet, Xu Hao talked and laughed happily, frequently raised his glass to persuade him to drink, and Editor-in-Chief Zhao was very happy and came in vain.
After three rounds of drinking, the conversation gradually became more open. Wu Jing said: "Recently, a strange incident happened in the countryside of Yongshun, in the middle of last month, an old woman surnamed Jiang from a village saw a nun squatting at the door, only in her twenties, covering her face and crying. The old lady asked what was going on? The nun said that she was from Wuchang and had been practicing in the nunnery, but because of her discord with her sister and sister, she was said bad things in front of the host, and the host believed it and kicked her out of the nunnery. β
At that time, the nun Chu Chu pleaded pitifully: "Old mother, I am alone now, I have no place to live, think about it is better to marry a vulgar person, if someone is willing to take me in, I will marry someone in the future, and I am willing to pay all the dowry." Alas! But where in this world is there such a good person who is willing to take me in? β
As the saying goes, greedy for small and cheap suffers big losses, Mrs. Jiang was dizzy for a while, thinking that such a young and decent woman, I am afraid that no one will want it? The bride price must not be at least fifty taels of silver? It's really the God of Wealth who ran to the door, but you can't miss it in person.
She said: "I see that you are also very pitiful, there is no place to live, why don't you come to my house, wait for me to be a matchmaker for you, and let you marry a good family." β
The nun sighed: "The slave family is a hard-working person, and the good family does not look forward to it, just to have something to eat." Dare to ask who else is in my mother's family? Shall I go with you? β
Mrs. Jiang smiled: "I only have one son, one daughter-in-law, and two daughters in my family. I'm the master, and they won't say anything. You can rest assured. β
At that moment, the nun was very happy, thanked the other party, kowtowed, got up and followed into the house.
The Jiang family is very sympathetic to the nun's plight, and the nun is also very diligent, rushing to do the work when she sees it, especially good at cutting and sewing, which can be called a flying needle and thread, and the person is also amiable, and the family says that the old lady has picked up the treasure.
Mrs. Jiang was very satisfied. Let the nun sleep with two girls, one fourteen years old and the other fifteen years old, who are young and like to be lively the most, and they get along with each other very well.
Nuns are not only good at doing fine work, but also at rough work, carrying water and sweeping the floor, washing rice and vegetables, and chopping wood for cooking. seems to have inexhaustible energy, and is knowledgeable, growing up in the city, and his appearance and temperament are not comparable to those in the countryside. The old lady Jiang couldn't be more happy.
It didn't take long for the teenagers in the neighboring villages to get the news that everyone wanted to eat swan meat, and you came to propose. I'm here to propose, too.
Old woman Jiang asked the nun whose house she liked? Who knew that he didn't want any of them. It made Mrs. Jiang say: "It's amazing! These are all good families, and there are also fields and houses. There are also cows, and they are planted in their own fields, so why don't they want to? β
The nun said, "Mom, I am a hard-working person and unlucky, how dare I harm others? Just ask to marry a long-term worker, and it is enough to spend a lifetime of hardship. β
Now that the old lady Jiang's thoughts have slowly changed, compared to fifty taels of silver, how can it be better to have such a capable daughter-in-law at home? Within two days, he made the decision for the nun and gave it to his own rough benzene tenant farmer.
The nun was very grateful for this, so she recognized the old lady Jiang as her godmother, helping to work at home during the day, still sleeping with the two sisters at night, and not having a round room with her husband for a month, which was not abnormal in ancient times, and no one doubted it.
On this day, Jiang Da, the son of Mrs. Jiang, went out to run errands, and Mrs. Jiang instructed the nun to sleep with her daughter-in-law. In the middle of the night, the nun actually got up and wanted to be rude, Jiang Da's wife was horrified and wanted to shout for help, the nun pulled out a sharp waist knife, and the cold knife was put on the woman's neck, and the bluffing woman immediately did not dare to speak out.
That night, the nun was allowed to do whatever she wanted, and she tossed for half the night. The next day, the nun thought that she had a plan, and the woman would not dare to speak out for the sake of honor, and besides, he was very confident in his bed, and fell asleep.
But this daughter-in-law is not that kind of person, and hurriedly ran to sue her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Jiang shouted oops, hurriedly ran to the front and back of the village, called more than ten men, rushed into the bedroom, tied up the nuns, stripped off their clothes and looked, where is the nun? It turned out to be a man with a tintin.
The old lady Jiang was so angry that she fainted, and angrily called the two daughters for interrogation, only to realize that she had been defiled for many days, and she really lost her wife and broke her soldiers, and fainted on the spot.
Wu Jing finally said: "The county was severely interrogated, and the fake nun confessed in court, and there were seven or eight accomplices, all of whom disguised themselves as women and went out to do their parting ways. β
And this kind of thing Xu Hao has heard of many times, it is not a new thing, the most famous is the future Ming Xianzong period of the flower thief Sang Chong, set a terrifying record of 182 women from a good family in ten years.
Editor-in-chief Zhao said slowly: "This is deception, and it is understandable. There is an official surnamed Ji in Changsha, who used to be a magistrate, was impeached and lost his office, he was poor for a few years, and he couldn't even eat enough, so he actually took the two aunts and wives to Qinglou, and now the term has not expired.
Recently, the surname Ji has made a shortcoming, and he has become full of officialdom, and he wants to sue Qinglou to buy a good prostitute, not only does he have to send it back, but he also has to compensate a large sum of silver, people beg him not to make trouble, he is getting more and more troublesome, what is this? Such a shameless person becoming an official is really a disaster for the people. β
Xu Hao has long been numb, there are no surprises in the officialdom, those who sacrifice their wives for glory are not called trouble, what is it to send a concubine as a prostitute? The status is equivalent to half a pig and dog, of course, the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty has been much more conservative, and the status of women has also improved.
Before the Song Dynasty, she could send whoever she wanted, and she would sleep with whoever she wanted, everyone was accustomed to it, if she dared to send the main room to be a prostitute, she would definitely make headlines, and that was the real husband.
A showman sitting with him didn't know the details of Wu Jing and Xu Hao, thinking that they were the same as each other, and said: "As an official, he likes to scold Wang Ba the most, and the voice of the bastard Wang Ba is endless. This county magistrate escorted his concubine to the hall, I don't know if he sat up in the hall and scolded people for being the eighth king? β
Another Xiucai said: "If he dares to scold me, I must ask him, what are you yourself?" β
Editor-in-chief Zhao said: "He scolded Wang Ba, and he himself is the real Wang Ba." I'll tell you another joke, our political envoy's surname is Wang, and he happens to be ranked eighth, and everyone behind him calls him Wang Ba. β
Xu Hao knew that the big drama was coming, no matter what happened between Editor-in-Chief Zhao and Wu Jing and the political envoy of Youbu, it was explained from the wives of his subordinates and the distribution of donations that this person was no longer suitable to continue to be an official.
Of course, Xu Hao has no right to dismiss officials, not to mention that he is still such a feudal official of the extremely popular minister, so he has been waiting. Now that Editor-in-Chief Zhao can provide ammunition, it is no better, in this matter, everyone's interests are the same.
Wu Jingren doesn't say much in the officialdom, Editor-in-Chief Zhao doesn't have any scruples, except for Xu Hao, all the people here today are his protΓ©gΓ©s, so he said: "Lord Wang has been an official for half his life, and has accumulated a lot of money. He has nothing but lust in his life. Married more than ten concubines, hugged left and right, the joy is endless, and he has taken up all the blessings in the world.
He has a daughter, I don't know which aunt gave birth to her, she was born amorous and has a fatherly style. Since the age of thirteen, she has had an affair with a young family member in the family, and as a result, she became pregnant. Mr. Wang thought that his daughter was sick, so he hurriedly postponed the diagnosis and treatment.
The doctor is a famous national player in Changsha, and he was secretly funny after diagnosing the pulse, and casually prescribed a few fetal pills, laughing and saying that Ling Ai's illness is okay, and it will be fine every month or two. It's okay if you don't like to eat.
The ridiculous Lord Wang was kept in the dark, seeing that his daughter's belly was swelling day by day, he still thought that he had a strange disease, and sought medical advice everywhere, and he was very busy with it, and the servant woman of the family saw the signs and said that the eldest lady's belly was not like a swollen disease, but like a swollen fetus, and I was afraid that in less than a year, I would add a grandson for you.
Lord Wang said angrily: "Nonsense, the eldest lady has not been out of the cabinet, how can she be pregnant?" ββ
Speaking of this, everyone laughed, and their expressions were full of disdain and schadenfreude for Wang Babu's political envoy. The wine table is always the best place to vent your frustrations and ridicule others.
The servants of the Wang family have a leg with the master, and everyone is not afraid of him, so he pouted and said, "If the master doesn't believe it, look at it." β
Lord Wang was furious and roared: "Could it be that she can't wait to get out of the cabinet, so she does that shameless thing?" She doesn't go out, who did she do ugly things with? β
The subordinates shook their heads one after another, and someone said leisurely: "This is a matter of the relationship with the name, who dares to say nonsense?" Sir, go and ask Miss. Miss Hengzhu can't get out, but the master is not necessarily a man in the house. β
Lord Wang said angrily: "Apart from me, there is only the old lady in the family." The old lady was seventy-one years old, and that was his granddaughter, how could it be? β
A sister-in-law Yang smiled and said: "The old lady naturally won't, but the old lady last year, why did she add another nine masters?" β
"Lao Jiu was born to my aunt, isn't my aunt just sixteen years old?" Wang Ba's expression was quite strange, and the anger that rushed to the sky seemed to be gone.
Sister-in-law Yang glanced at him and pouted, "Will my aunt give birth to a son alone?" β
When Lord Wang heard this, he immediately smiled and said nothing, which made Sister-in-law Yang say in surprise: "Dare to love and the master can't do it?" β
"Don't talk nonsense about me, there's nothing to do."
To put it bluntly, the problem is that Lord Wang's face actually showed a hint of a fox eating a chicken. (To be continued......)
