The waste bird throws down the gods

Chapter 72

Later, in order to preserve the glory of the Shen family's so-called scholarly family, they could only rely on marriage. The girls of the Shen family have read poetry and books and learned etiquette since they were young. After that, she married into a noble family and became a good wife and mother of a noble family.

Sometimes Shen Zijin would think, is this the meaning of reading sage books?Those women, virtuous and virtuous, whether it is the understanding, elegant and beautiful cousin Shen Yixiu, or the kind and lovely, innocent cousin Gu Ruren, all married into the noble family just because of the need for family marriage.

My cousin, Shen Yixiu, has a long-standing personality, and I can remember it with my eyes when I was four or five years old. When I was young, I was stubborn with my cousins, fighting for dates and chestnuts, and birds and beasts. Surprised that it is extraordinary, so that the parents at home are quite fond of it.

But as a girl, her cousin couldn't go to school. Shen Yixiu, who was young and had no teacher, was diligent and studious. He asked the female elders in the family to learn, and studied hard by himself. He often learned everything and recited books and history. Lan Xin's woman, although the woman who can write the sentence "Crying and never hearing it, the ileum is empty and self-cracking" can only marry Ye Shaoyuan as his wife, at the age of sixteen.Although the two are Qiongzhiyushu, they complement each other.But is it possible to be happy even in this way?Happiness will always be hindered by countless obstacles, and there are countless intrusions from dark forces
But her mother-in-law hated him for reciting poems and eulogies. Every day, she always adds fragrance to her sleeves, and the flowers are blooming and snowing.For fear of disturbing her husband's imperial examination system, follow the number one in the imperial list.Although she loves poetry, deep in her heart there is still a love for poetry and poetry, but the three obediences and four virtues, the teachings of women's virtues, and the pressure from other places, all of them come from the missionary thoughts in the feudal tradition Make her obey her mother-in-law's teaching.Seriously and solemnly, every time he swallowed his breath and spoke softly, he was still afraid of betraying his aunt's heart.There are many husbands and children, aunts and children are dissatisfied, and elder sisters kneel to plead guilty, so they will live like this for life.

Shen Yixiu gave birth to eight sons and three daughters for the Ye family. He loved his sons and daughters all his life, and they all learned by themselves.All three women are beautiful and capable of poetry.

It's just that the sky is jealous of the wizards, and the times have changed suddenly.The autumn of the fifth year of Chongzhen should have been an ominous season for the Ye family, with bad luck befalling them one after another.

All the haze of those old days came unexpectedly.

Ye Xiaoluan, who was only 17 years old, died suddenly five days before he and Zhang Liping in Kunshan celebrated their centenary marriage ceremony.The eldest sister, Ye Wanwan, cried too much for her younger sister, but she also left with her after two months.The second sister, Ye Xiaowan, wrote "Mandarin Duck Dream" drama to express her meaning when she was in pain.In grief, the three sisters are written into the play, which is really touching.The once luxuriant green leaves are falling in the bleak autumn wind.

The occurrence of this series of events made the cousin Shen Yixiu unprepared and caught off guard, and the balance of life began to tilt.She still couldn't accept that such a talented child would go away first, could it really prove the saying that heaven is jealous of a genius?
Three years later, in the deep memory of her children, this talented woman from the south of the Yangtze River passed away.At that time, the maidservant cried in the room, the child servant cried in the court, the market peddler cried in the market, the village woman and the farmer cried in the field, almost no one in the pound, no song in the alley.

As for the cousin Gu Ruren Jiayu Xundian prefect Zhou Qianjiang, although she is always talented and beautiful, but in the end, she is full of talents and falls into the world of dust, not to mention the women who have been married from the Shen family for nine generations.Pity Qingqing's talent, buried in fireworks in the world, but always pity the son of Shen's family for his rare study.

These women are strange women, but for the glory of the Shen family, they let go of their favorite things and can only marry others. What is the meaning of reading?

Ning Zhi sings the spring scenery every word, and the eight tones of Ganzhou continue the front tune.

Shen Zijin felt depressed, drunk himself, and heard the sound of immortals.Close your eyes and sleep lightly, leaning on the stone tablet.

Surrounded by fairy sounds, the wooden fish seemed to be sounding without moving.

He stared at the dream, not knowing where he was going.

Sitting in the four quarters of the house, I can only see the blue tiles and white walls. From time to time, someone in the temple beats the wooden fish.He sighed with emotion that in this world, there are really people who can beat wooden fish for fun, and there are experts in time.

He was hungry, but holding the sage book in his hand, his heart was sacred, and he was able to endure the hunger, and his heart was clear.

Recalling that I had originally left my hometown, just to go to Beijing for the exam, but unfortunately fell ill suddenly, and the only servant ran away with the money. When he was in a daze, he fainted outside this ancient temple. There was only one old monk in the ancient temple. To take care of his body, he lives on the one liter of rice that the old monk got for alms every day. He sleeps on the thatched grass behind the Buddha statue with a hard stone as his pillow. He listens to the old monk knocking on the wooden fish every day. The old monk tapped the wooden fish with his fingers, but not with wood as is commonly seen.

He studied every day, and one day when he woke up from his sleep, he found that the servant had taken away the gold and silver, but left behind his sage book, and he picked it up carefully, treating it as if it were a pearl.You can only study seriously, and you can't do anything else, but there is a saying in the book, the rich don't need to buy fertile land, the book has thousands of grains; There is no one to follow, there are many horses and chariots in the book; when you marry a wife, don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers, there is beauty in the book; if a man has a son, he will live his life.Read the Six Classics diligently to the window.

The old monk saw that he was serious about studying, and felt sorry for what happened to him.He kowtowed to thank him, and said bluntly that he would repay this kindness for being named on the gold list in the future.The old monk just knocked on the wooden fish and said for a long time. "My lord, the four things are all empty. Money is something outside of the body, but I beg you not to lose your heart."

He knew that the old monk had a kind face and a kind heart, but he was a man of great perseverance, so he quickly swore an oath. "If I, Shen Rong, live up to my words, I will not be named on the gold list for generations."

When the old monk passed away, Shen Rong asked Shen Rong to cremate him and get twelve relics, which were placed in the well and burned incense every morning when the sun was rising.

The next day, Shen Rong sincerely burned incense and prayed, and got one liter of rice and ten Wen coins. He studied hard in logistics to support himself. People who are greedy for money require gold cups and chopsticks on the day of marriage.

We must know that the people in this world are poor, and Shen Rong is even penniless, but Shen Rong has no choice but to grieve for his poverty and vulgarity. It is the golden cup tooth chopsticks.

Shen Rong was very pleasantly surprised, took the gold cup and chopsticks, and married Li Zheng's daughter.Li Zheng's daughter went out early in the morning, only to see her husband put the gold cup, teeth and chopsticks in the well.gone.She sighed inwardly.

But Shen Rong didn't know about this. Later, he went to Beijing to take the exam, and his virtuous name spread far and wide. Although it is dilapidated, it is still full of incense.Why?
It turns out that the well water in this ancient temple is very strange.If someone is newly married, as long as they burn incense and pray, they will be able to borrow gold cups, teeth and chopsticks, and only need to return them the next day.

"What if you don't return it?"

"Madam's words are so unreasonable? If you have borrowed but never repaid, how can you borrow again?"

Hearing this, the woman still felt uneasy.Just as Shen Rong's granddaughter was about to get married, the lady persuaded her: "Husband, I think you studied hard in the poor window that day, in order to marry me, you sincerely moved the heavens, and you got a golden cup, teeth and chopsticks. Now that your granddaughter is married, why don't you pray sincerely? The golden cup, teeth and chopsticks are the joy of the grandfather and grandson with the same name."

Shen Rong thought about it carefully, at the beginning the old monk exhorted him to save his life, but now that he returns home in fine clothes, is there any reason not to repay it?Immediately change clothes and freshen up, go to the dry well of the ancient temple.

Burning incense and praying, the golden cup, teeth and chopsticks have solved the urgent needs of many families, and become the joy of thousands of families for a hundred years, but they are still as new as yesterday, exquisite and delicate.

On the day of his granddaughter's wedding, Shen Rong couldn't help but toast and drink with all the children and grandchildren in the room.

The next day, he was drowsy, and Shen Rong didn't wake up until the sun was high. He went to look at the golden cup, teeth and chopsticks, but he was nowhere to be seen. When he asked about his wife, the lady smiled and said, "Although my husband is drunk, I have never drunk alcohol. I went back instead of my husband."

But Shen Rong didn't know that the golden cup and tooth chopsticks had married into another family with his granddaughter.
