During the Tianshun period of Ming Yingzong, the Miao people in Guangxi were in trouble, and the court ordered Zhong Wang to lead troops to war. Unexpectedly, due to the long distance and changeable climate, the troops delayed the time limit for reaching the border area. After returning to Li, he was demoted to thousands of households in Nanyang, Henan, from 5,000 to 1,000.
Wang moved from Lin 'an to Nanyang, all the way. Accompanied by his wife Zhou, his daughter Jiao Luan, and veteran Sun Jiu and maid-in-waiting Mingxia. Aunt Cao is the cousin of Mrs. Wang's Zhou family. She married a family named Cao. Less than a year later, she became a widow and was alone, so she took refuge in Wang Fu to help take care of the housework.
In Nanyang, Wang Jiaoluan is already in her twenties. According to the custom at that time, it was earlier than the age of marriage, but on the one hand, it was because my father needed her at work; On the other hand, because of her pride, marriage is always uncertain. Wang Jiaoluan is not only outstanding in talent, but also very beautiful in appearance, revealing a bit of heroism in her charm, and soon became the object of attention of Nanyang dudes. However, Wang Jiaoluan looked down on the glitz of a dude, while ordinary aristocratic men thought she was an unattainable microscope.
At this time, the Wangs' neighbors teach Zhou in the school. Their son Zhou Wenjing is beautiful and elegant, while Wang Jiaoluan and Zhou, a pair of young men and women, often look at each other through the gap in the courtyard wall. Although they loved each other, they didn't speak out of courtesy.
One day, Zhou found Wang Jiaoluan's lost Ropa. The two became attached to each other because of the Ropa incident, and since then they have become attached to poetry.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhou's poems were sent to Wang Jiaoluan's maid's dressing table. Wang Jiaoluan was combing her hair and put it on the dresser at a glance. At this moment, it happened that Aunt Cao came in and saw this poem. She asked with concern and surprise, "Why didn't you keep it from me?" Although Yicao is an elder, she is congenial to Wang Jiaoluan and gets along like friends on weekdays. Seeing the grass, Wang Jiaoluan simply told the truth and stressed: "Only chanting Buddha, no other relationship!" Aunt Cao is a woman who knows amorous feelings. She met her neighbor's son on weekdays and knew a little about him, so she suggested, "Duke Zhou is a talented man in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is a perfect match for the young lady. Why not let him tell his parents and ask the matchmaker to make peace and achieve a hundred years of success? " This is exactly what Wang Jiao wanted, so at the instigation of a grass, Wang Jiaoluan expressed his wish with poetry.
Zhou was naturally overjoyed and immediately told his father. I don't want to teach Zhou Sijiao, but I have other plans. He thinks that 3,000 households are demoted here and are not ideal relatives. His son is talented and handsome, so he should climb a high gate, which is of great benefit to his son's future. Therefore, he hesitated. Weeks helpless, again afraid failed to live up to the beauty of absolute beauty, had to under the guise of his father's instructions, please the central matchmaker to visit relatives and friends in the wangs. Although the households here appreciate Zhou Gongzi very much, they can't do without their dependence on their eldest daughter at work for a while, so they delay getting married right away.
Two soft nails in a row made Zhou feel at a loss and disconsolate, so he wrote a letter to Wang Jiaoluan, which wrote: "Looking at the fragrant boudoir from a distance is like looking at the moon palace of Emperor Taizong and dreaming of moths, like the cowherd crossing the river and thinking about the weaver girl the next day."
Mong Kok thinks that as long as the other side mediates, good things will come naturally. I didn't expect my father to hesitate, which made Duke Zhou very sad. Wang Jiaoluan is full of helplessness and has to look forward to her next life.
In the second week, he came to the Wangs with a prayer flag in his hand and solemnly asked to see Mrs. Wang's Zhou family. After seeing Zhou Zhou, he counted several clansmen askew, but he was involved in the same clan relationship with Zhou, and sincerely wanted to worship Zhou as his aunt. Zhou saw that he was handsome and kind-hearted. Now I recognize this distant nephew. Since then, he has become a relative of the Wang family of Zhou. Of course, you can easily go in and out of the Wangs' house and have the opportunity to meet and talk with Wang Jiaoluan.
In summer, Zhou asked to borrow Wang's spacious backyard to study on the pretext that his bedroom was narrow and stuffy. As a relative, it was inconvenient for the Wangs to refuse, so Zhou publicly lived in the Wangs.
Wang Qian families still don't allow their daughters to get married, but Yi Cao is worried about them. Zhou Jian moved into the backyard of the Wangs, and she felt that the time was ripe. Resolutely decided to be her own master, which fulfilled the beauty of her little children, so she made an appointment with Wang Jiaoluan to meet Zhou in the boudoir at night.
At the second watch, the bright moon was in the sky, and Zhou, who couldn't wait, came to the courtyard gate and was introduced to the boudoir by Mingxia, who was waiting there. Wang Jiaoluan is sitting in front of the dresser. When Zhou came in, she solemnly said to him, "I am a virgin, but you are not a slut." Just because the two sides admire each other, the family is blocking it, not voyeurism, and I am willing to marry each other and never give up! "
Wang Jiaoluan's words were harsh, and Zhou was awed. At this time, I turned out from behind the screen and seriously explained to Zhou: "If you are interested, please don't live up to our girl's sincerity. For the sake of prudence, please write down the engagement in four copies. " He spoke very seriously, and Zhou He dared not refuse. He immediately wrote an engagement oath in quadruplicate, which read: "If a woman is negative to a man, she will be thunderous;" If a man betrays a woman, he will be shot to death by an arrow, and then he will be punished by the underworld and fall into the prison of Fengdu forever! " After writing, one copy burned the world; A certificate collected by Yicao as a media; The other two are for couples. Then, under the auspices of, Zhou and Wang Jiaoluan made a decent ceremony to Tiandi and thanked the big media. Finally, the maid brought out the fruit wine, and the couple drank a toast and entered the bridal chamber.
Since then, every night in the boudoir, spring night, Yuanyang twisted. Six months later, Zhou Sijiao was promoted to Yin, a native of Emei County in central Sichuan. Zhou said that he was unwell and couldn't stand the long journey. He asked to stay at the Wangs' home in Nanyang and not go with his parents. Half a year later, a letter came from Shuzhong, saying that his father had returned to his hometown Suzhou to recuperate because he was acclimatized in Shuzhong. Zhou wanted to go back to his hometown to visit his father, but he could not bear to be separated from Wang Jiaoluan, and his worries were beyond words.
After learning his feelings, Wang Jiaoluan comforted him and said, "The love between husband and wife is as deep as the sea; The love between father and son is unparalleled. Two kinds of love are indispensable. We will be together for a long time. Father is seriously ill and should visit! "
After knowing it, a grass also said: "It is not a long-term solution to hide love now. Son, why don't you go back to your hometown for a while? If your father recovers, you can discuss the marriage again and make a wish earlier. Isn't it the best of both worlds? "
Zhou finally decided to go back to his hometown On the eve of his departure, Wang Jiaoluan inquired about his hometown address in detail. He replied: "My family lives by the Yanling Bridge in Gusu, and my ancestors have made contributions to the grain supervision. The locals also call my home Zhou Jia, just ask. "
Zhou tearfully bid farewell to Wang Jiaoluan and took a boat all the way to Suzhou. His mind is full of voices and faces in Mong Kok. However, when I got home, everything changed unconsciously. At this time, Zhou's illness has basically recovered and he is planning a marriage for his son. For the sake of his son's future, he was booked as a high relative, the daughter of Comrade Wei, a famous local family. Zhou was going to refuse, but her parents coaxed her, and she heard that this Wei girl was called "the first beauty in Suzhou" and her dowry was surprisingly rich. In the future, the Wei family can support his career, and he can't help but feel a little tempted, so he reluctantly worships heaven and earth with Miss Wei, and soon he is intoxicated in the new gentle town and forgets Wang Jiaoluan. Wang Jiaoluan looked around at home, but there was no news from Zhou Lang, so she sent messages to Gusu again and again. Zhou Gang got married and was impatient with Wang Jiaoluan's urging. He wrote back and said, "My father is still ill, waiting for the decoction. He has missed the wedding day and will have a good meeting soon. "
After waiting for several months, Zhou Lang still disappeared. Wang Qian families hope to choose a married husband for their daughters so as not to miss their youth. Wang Jiaoluan just refused blindly, and her parents didn't know her mind. One grass can't bear it, so let veteran Sun Jiu make a special trip to Gusu to find out.
Sun Jiu went for a whole month, and Wang Jiaoluan was looking forward to it. Who knows that when he came back, it was a piece of engagement between Ropa and Zhou that had fallen into the hands. Wang Jiaoluan immediately understood everything. She felt suddenly that everything was spinning and she didn't know where she was. In grief and anger, Wang Jiaoluan wrote 36 "desperate poems" in one breath, pieced together the process of their love, and also expressed their grief after hearing the news of the change.
Wang Jiaoluan is a military commander after all. After grief and anger, he showed his strong will and vowed to get back at the ungrateful man.
I wrote thirty-six "desperate poems". I wanted Sun Jiu to go to Gusu and give them to Zhou to see if I could call back his true feelings. However, Sun Jiu hated Zhou's ruthlessness and refused to see him again. Wang Jiaoluan is very helpless.
At this time, it happened that the family had a document to send to Wujiang County, which was a discussion about the defeated army of Wei in Nanyang. This is about a military plane, and a courier is going. As usual, official documents are handled by Wang Jiaoluan. She looked at the situation with a normal heart and came up with a unique plan. She sorted out the poems she sang with Zhou in the past, two papers of marriage papers and poems about death, sealed them together in a briefcase, sealed them with wax and sent them on a business trip. Her father doesn't know about it.
That night, Wang Jiaoluan bathed, smoked incense, made up and changed clothes slowly. At midnight, she took out her lost Ropa, pondered for a long time, and then hanged herself in the Japan Pavilion.
Here, Nanyang Wei's courier arrived in Wujiang County, and the county magistrate opened the briefcase. Besides official documents, there is a big bag of poems and manuscripts. After he looked at it carefully, he soon understood the whole thing. However, because the Zhou family is a three-generation scholar and has a high reputation, it is not convenient to investigate this small county magistrate. Just then, Fan Gongzhi of Douchayuan came to Gusu. The county magistrate reported the situation and information to Fan Commune.
Fan Gongzhi pities Wang Jiaoluan's talent and hates Zhou's fickle feelings even more. So he ordered Zhou to be arrested and tried. In addition, he sent someone to Nanyang to send urgent documents, hoping to bring Wang Jiaoluan to justice. If Zhou changes his mind, he will simply persuade them to make up, and monogamy is also a good thing.
However, the news brought back by official business is that Wang Jiaoluan has hanged himself. Fan Gong was so angry that he immediately took Zhou to court and reprimanded him: "You have committed the crime of molesting government women; If you stop your wife from remarrying, you will be abandoned at first, and you will commit two crimes; Rape to death, three crimes. These three sins, you deserve to die At the beginning of the marriage certificate, it says,' If a man commits a crime against a woman, he will be shot dead with an arrow'. I didn't shoot you with an arrow, but I could kill you with a stick, thinking it was a man's bad luck! "
Zhou felt ashamed and sorry, and had nothing to say. At Fan Gong's command, the officials were in chaos. On Monday, he was bleeding in the blink of an eye and was killed. Affectionate women lose their true feelings in vain, and ungrateful men finally get the end they deserve, leaving more regrets!
