Chapter 367: Lonely and Bitter
Yuan is not frustrated, with words, famous, Jingzhao Wannian people. lived on the streets at the age of ten, how did he become a huge rich man in Chang'an?
When he was ten years old, it happened to be the eleventh year of Xiantong (870) when the Southern Zhao Kingdom besieged Chengdu. At that time, the son-in-law of Chen Zhe, the commander of the soil minister and the god of Chengni, the emperor of Lidao, the king of Nanbin County, the pearl dealer god Jieke, and Zhaoyi Wangyou Ling were all trying to break the siege of Chengdu.
During the Dragon Boat Festival this year, Yuan Bufu wandered around the streets of Wannian County and actually picked up a golden hairpin covered with soil.
This inspired him to run to the wealthy district, rummaging through the dung heaps of every house. Packed with a broken linen, it can't be carried when it is half a bag, and it is often transported home when it is less than half a bag.
After all, his biological parents still had a dilapidated house left, so he filled the garbage he had picked up with four wooden basins with water, and washed everything that he felt useful four times. Hostas, wooden hairpins, golden hairpins, silver hairpins, Chengni inkstones, calligraphy and paintings, pearls, huston, etc., and even Khotanese jade, which was covered with soot, were found.
Sometimes you can also pick up silk shirts, good Shu brocade, and even good cloaks.
He sorted the cleaned things into categories and put them in the clean gauze, wiped a broken box clean, put them in and locked them properly.
In this way, I have been picking it up for eight years. Since the age of fourteen, he has gradually sold some bits and pieces, repaired the house little by little, and put the yard in order. He also begged Su Yu, the abbot of the Wa Palace in Wannian County, to worship him as a martial arts master, and to start practicing on time every day.
During these years, the neighbor's widow Dou Qushui took her only son Guo Yun to live, the same age as him. Dou Qu Shui often came over and helped him clean some things. Yuan Bufu used the bits and pieces of it to count the Dou Qushui as a reward. Dou Qushui's yard was full of vegetables, and Yuan Bufu raised chickens and ducks, so he had eggs to eat.
At the age of sixteen, he started raising pigs, and basically the family was okay. Yuan Bufrustration has reached this age, and every time he wakes up, something slimy will overflow from his pants. When Dou Qushui was helping him to wash his clothes, he found these things, so he pulled himself into the house and talked about the problem of maturity.
Yuan Bufrustration was half afraid and half curious, so he took out the gourd for Dou Qushui and asked her to see if there was anything wrong? When I opened the long gourd, I saw a lot of stains, and I was sick to death.
Thanks to the sinus canal water to help him clean it once, he also talked about the role of the long gourd, and used her garlic mortar as a demonstration to make him understand what a man should do.
Since then, every time I feel that this thirty-two-year-old widow is so beautiful, I have to let Dou Qushui teach her a few hands while Guo Yun is working for others. But this is not always the way, Dou Qushui also said that he had to try to get a better house and marry a wife.
Yuan Bufu began to give himself five days off every month, dressed up gracefully, and went to Chang'an City to play for a few days. Playing in Chang'an City, I found more treasures in the dung heaps of more princely and wealthy families. I sold some bits and pieces of treasures, bought a horse-drawn carriage, and drove to Chang'an City to rummage through the dung heap.
Bag by bag was carried to the wagon and pulled home. It is still four wooden basins, cleaned one by one, or put into the cabinet in a regular manner.
Within a few months, he sold some bits and pieces of treasures and bought a dilapidated house nearby. Picking up the rags by himself, he repaired the house at the same time, and Dou Qushui also helped from time to time until it was repaired and looked new.
In this house, I am ready to ask for a wife to live. The old house continued to sort out the treasures. At this time, an uninvited guest came to the new house, an old maid living on the street.
said that she was an old maid, but in fact she was only twenty-two years old, six years older than Yuan Bufu. Maids generally start at the age of eight, and after the age of twenty, they become old maids.
This old maid was called Ding Zhu, and she was beheaded because the lord of the main family committed a crime, and these subordinates were dismissed one after another. At her age, if she went to someone to be a maid, no one wanted it at all.
Ding Zhu returned to her parents. The family is a lowly family, with neither land nor real estate, and lives in an old house abandoned by a large family, which is not only to help others guard the house, but also to solve their own housing problems.
Life is not found. My mother relied on needlework with large families to beg for food, and my father could only rely on driving cars and doing chores to earn a few copper plates to support a younger brother and a little sister.
You must find another way out, otherwise you can only die at home. So, Ding Zhu walked back and forth in this 10,000-year-old county town to see if there was anything suitable for him.
There are well-wishers who know Ding Zhu and recommended Yuan Bufrustration to her. So Ding Zhu took the initiative to come to the door and got acquainted with Yuan Bufu. The two simple conversations are hard-working people, and the more they talk, the more affectionate they become.
That night, Yuan Bufu freshened up and dressed up, and took Ding Zhu to the wine shop on the street for a good feast. Ding Zhu has grown so big, this is the first time he has eaten wine on the street, and before he has eaten wine, the whole person is blindfolded, and he likes it no matter how he looks at Yuan Bufu.
Yuan Bufu didn't have any friends, and the banquet was just the two of them. The wine was half-drunk, and the more the two talked, the deeper they became. Yuan Bufu said his own situation, an orphan whose parents died, and he lived by picking up rags since he was ten years old, it's as simple as that. But Ding Zhu heard that he was sad for himself, and tears flowed down his face.
Yuan Bufrustration was crying by her, and then he felt how miserable he was, and he couldn't help but shed bitter tears. He stretched out his hand to help Ding Zhu wipe away his tears and asked, "Looking at my sister's appearance, she should be everyone's lady, why did she end up in this step?"
Asking like this, Ding Zhu suddenly couldn't cry, it turned out that the bitterness of her family was enough to suffocate.
Ding Zhu was beheaded because of his grandfather Ding Helmet's crime and became a lowly status, what crime did his grandfather Ding Helmet commit?
Ding Zhu's great-grandfather was one of the twenty-four golden sandalwoods of the Yicheng Army, and Ding Zhutan of Kunlun silver lance.
Grandfather Ding Helmet is the third son of Ding Tan. When Ding Helmet became a Ding at the age of 20, he followed the example of his eldest brother Ding Meng and his second brother Ding Gai and joined the Yicheng Army to serve.
Nine years later, in the fifth year of Wenzong's reign (839), Ding Helmet was transferred to the Yiwu Army, that is, the Yiding Army. This army is sandwiched between the Lulong Festival and the Chengde Festival, and it is a festival town loyal to the imperial court. At that time, Chen Junxian, the envoy of the festival, was the brother-in-law of Hou Wenyingban, that is, the younger brother of Chen, the wife of Shunzheng County.
On the eighth day of August of the following year, the Yiwu army rebelled. The soldiers and horses in the army made Zhou Hehan expel Chen Jun, the envoy of the festival, and wanted to be the envoy of the festival. The reason is that Chen Jun slept with his wife, which successfully aroused public anger.
Zhou Hehan brought more than a dozen generals and nearly 1,000 people to besiege Chen Junsheng. Ding Helmet led 600 personal guards to protect Chen Junsheng and rushed out, and more than 200 of the 600 guards were killed in battle, and most of them surrendered.
In any case, Ding Helmet successfully rescued Chen Junsheng from the camp of the Yiwu Army. Chen Junsheng is not a vegetarian, with Ding Helmet and other five guard generals, recruited 480 warriors in the countryside, after intensive training, all used 64 catties of jujube lance, known as "Heng Lance Capital".
On August 20, Chen Junsheng led the Hengli capital to attack Dingzhou City, and the Ding helmet array beheaded Zhou Hehan, the head of the army rebellion, and the Hengli capital was punished as a chaotic soldier, and the state city was decided. After the Dingzhou army rebellion was pacified, Ding Helmet was the first to kill Zhou Hehan and his military exploits. Chen Jun rewarded the new son of heaven Wuzong, and Ding Helmet was canonized as the founding marquis of Wannian County.
At this time, Ding Helmet was just thirty years old, what is the concept of being named Wannian Hou, it is the land of Jingzhao. Especially after the Hou Mansion was built, Mrs. found a maiden uncle to be a housekeeper, who knew that this housekeeper ate, drank, prostituted and gambled all of them.
quickly won over a lot of Chang'an gentlemen, and they would eat and gamble in the Wannian Hou Mansion if they had nothing to do, or they would get some prostitutes to play at home. came and went, and Ding Helmet returned home from vacation, and he was contaminated with a lot of waist lings. Because the housekeeper had too many gambling debts, he actually managed to partner with Jiang Zhengli, the son of a prime minister.
made Jiang Zhengli lose completely, not only losing his own life, but also losing his wife Li Jin. The housekeeper didn't say anything about Li Jin's origins, so he dedicated it to Ding Helmet to play. This Li Jin is a county lord, and his father is the king of the gorge. The county lord secretly ran back to his mother's house and stabbed all the evils of the Wannian Marquis Mansion to the king of Xia.
Tang Wuzong was furious and asked Dali Temple to arrest Ding Helmet, and after examining the ins and outs, he almost connected Ding Zhantan, Ding Meng, and Ding Gai. After the intercession of the ministers of the court, Ding Helmet and the housekeeper were only beheaded, the Marquis of Wannian was taken away, and the Ding Helmet family was demoted to lowly status.
Ding Zhu's grandfather Ding Helmet was beheaded, and her mother-in-law suffered such a family disaster for luring a wolf into the house, and she couldn't let go, and soon died of shame. Leaving Ding Chong and Ding Xiu brothers and sisters alone, at this time one of their brothers and sisters was ten years old and the other was only eight years old.
The two uncles didn't dare to care, and the grandfather Ding Jintan and his mother-in-law both fell ill because of this incident, and the old couple asked the two children to live in their mansion. But after living for a short time, even the subordinates here looked down on them, and they couldn't bear endless bad words every day.
In a fit of anger, Ding Chong discussed with his sister Ding Xiu, who was already a lowly, so he simply did what a lowly person should do. He sold his sister to a big family as a maid, and it didn't matter if he was suffering and humiliated, as long as he could beg for food, thank God.
Ding Chong settled down his sister, what did he do? He also sold himself to others as a companion. Ding Chong grew to the age of eighteen, and when the young master Miao Xiang got married, he married his wife's maid to Ding Chong, and came to the door with a double happiness. Ding Chong has a family, and he is even more grateful to the young master, and he works harder and harder for the master.
Ding Zhu is the eldest daughter of Ding Species, and she also started working as a maid at the age of eight. Now twenty-two years old, the master's family has been dismissed, and there is nowhere to go.
This huge contrast in the ancestral story shocked Yuan Bu's head to buzz. After seeing Ding Zhu finish speaking, she was so sobbing that she couldn't breathe, Yuan Bufu took her into his arms, wiped her tears, comforted her, and beat her back and shoulders.
Ding Zhu, who was in his arms, felt Yuan Bufu's majesty, felt Yuan Bufu's sky-high arrogance, and felt Yuan Bufu's infinite love and pity for himself, and immediately buried his head and took care of the mountaineering and wood-cutting for Yuan Bufu. and through the water of the Dou Canal, the two became husband and wife.
In the year when Yuan Bufu got married, Dou Qushui's son Guo Yun chose to join the army at the age of sixteen in order to please his wife.
As soon as Guo Yun left, he rarely went home, and Dou Qushui missed his son, often washing his face with tears. Ding Zhu saw Dou Qushui's kindness and kindness, and also knew her pain and bitterness, so he proposed to Dou Qushui to simply live with Yuan Bufu. First, life takes care of each other, and secondly, it is also to solve the troubles of being a human being.
Dou Qushui lived with them and gave birth to a son that year, two months younger than Yuan Bufu and Ding Zhu's son Yuan Shanjun. But because Yuan Bufu is registered as Bai Ding, not the kind of official household registration who is qualified to take concubines, he is not allowed to marry Dou Qushui.
So, what is the surname of the child born to Dou Qushui, and how should he name it? This becomes a problem.
Even Ding Zhu failed to pass the official government's formal marriage diploma, although Yuan Bufu's Bai Ding household registration can marry a wife, but Ding Zhu is a lowly status and she is not allowed to intermarry with Bai Ding. It is permissible to live together, and the children born to Ding Zhu can also follow Yuan Bufu's Bai Ding household.
At this time, Ding Zhu was pregnant again, and the names were all chosen, regardless of men and women, they were on Yuan Shanqiao.
What should be the surname of Dou Qushui's child? The three of them had a good plan, but they couldn't agree with each other.
