Chapter 238 Details

Mansheng, Changhua County, teaches in Yuhang. Occasionally, I passed by the market and passed by the bottom of a building. Suddenly, a lychee fell from the upstairs and hit my shoulder. Mansheng looked up and saw a girl standing by the window. Her posture was excellent. She didn't feel her heartbeat. She looked at her for a long time and was crazy. The girl lowered her head and smiled and walked into the house.

I was full of desire to get close to the girl. I asked the nearby residents and learned that she was the daughter of the Jia family, a madam in a brothel. She was expensive and expensive. She knew that she could not afford it, and her wish could not be fulfilled. When she went back, she thought hard and couldn't sleep at night.

The next day, Mansheng prepared to stab the post, went to the brothel to see the girl, met each other, and talked happily. I was fascinated, so I borrowed a few taels of broken silver from my friend and gave it to the old duckling, hoping to have a time with Xihou Chunfeng. The two are happy, and the love is endless. After that, he was born in the pillow and recited a poem, "The night is not in the middle of the copper plate, and the head of the bed whispers musk fragrance. The new man will make up a phoenix tomorrow, and there will be no Yunchu Dream King.

Xihou frowned and said, "Although my concubine is humble, I have been looking forward to marrying a good family. I don't ask for anything else, but for my father-in-law to really love me. The prince is single and unmarried, would you like to stay with me for a long time? With great joy, the two made an alliance and made a private life. Xihou said, "It's not my specialty to recite poems. If you have a chance in the future, please give me more advice. By the way, how many fields are there in the prince's family?

Mansheng said, "Fifty mu of thin field, several broken houses." Xihou said, "After I marry you, I hope you won't teach anymore. Forty mu of land is enough to be self-sufficient, and the remaining ten mu can be planted, and then five pieces of cloth can be woven. During the Taiping period, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. In the future, the two of us will get together behind closed doors. The prince will read, and the concubine will weave cloth. In our spare time, we can also drink and recite poems. We will be happy and free, which is better than the prince's family.

Mansheng asked, "How much is the girl?" Xihou said, "Mom is greedy. If you don't have two hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid you won't let go. I usually don't know how to save money, and I don't have much savings around me. The prince tried to raise a hundred taels of silver, and I'll figure out the rest.

Mansheng said, "I'm poor and depressed. Where can I get a hundred taels of silver? Now, I have to ask my friends for help. I have a classmate who is a county magistrate in Hunan and has repeatedly invited me to play. I have never agreed because of the long way. At present, for the sake of the girl, I have to make an exception. You wait for me here for about three or four months before you come back.

Mansheng closed the school and went south to visit friends. When I arrived in Hunan, my friend had already been dismissed. At present, he was sent to the residents' house and was in a bleak situation. I am full of disappointment. After a long journey, there are few things left around me, and it is difficult to return home. I have to set up a museum in Hunan to teach apprentices. In a blink of an eye, three years have passed, but I still haven't collected a hundred taels of silver. I am ashamed to face the beautiful woman and dare not return home.

Once, Mansheng hit him a few times with a ruler because his disciples were reading and playing. Unexpectedly, the disciple couldn't think about it for a moment and threw himself into the river. The disciple's father was indignant and sued the matter to the government. The county magistrate issued an official document to arrest Mansheng and put him in prison. Fortunately, the students played around and often visited, so although Mansheng was in prison, he did not suffer too much.

Xihou and Mansheng separated from each other, closed the door and refused to receive guests. When the pimp learned the truth, he knew that his daughter was stubborn and did not dare to force each other too much. Let it go for the time being. A rich businessman heard the beautiful name of Xihou for a long time and asked the old woman to be a matchmaker. He wanted to marry Xihou and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. He was determined to get it, but Xihou did not agree.

It happened that the rich businessman went to Hunan to do business. He heard that he was released after his sentence, so he bribed the government with two pieces of silver and asked them to try to imprison him and not let him get out of prison. After going back, he asked the oldam to tell the Houhou and lied that he was full of life and death.

The Marquis didn't believe it. The pimp advised, "Whether he is full of life or death, he is a poor man. Instead of suffering with the poor, it's better to follow the rich businessmen. Xihou said, "Although Mansheng is poor, he has a high character. The businessman is full of copper smell and his heart is rotten. I don't want to marry her. What's more, I can't believe the hearsay. Mansheng must be still alive.

The businessman couldn't make a plan, but he made another plan. He sent someone to fake his handwriting and wrote a desperate letter. When Xihou received the letter, he was disheartened and cried sooner or later. The pbymish advised, "I raised you since I was a child. It's not easy to raise you for so many years. You don't want to receive guests or get married. What do you live on? I can't support you for the rest of my life."

As a last resort, the merchant had to marry a businessman, who bought her a lot of clothes and jewelry and loved her very much. A year later, Xihou gave birth to a son.

On the other hand, with the help of students, Mansheng was innocent and released from prison. When he learned that the businessman had framed himself, he thought, "I have no grudge against the businessman. Why did he plan me?" I was puzzled. When I went back, I heard that Xihou was married, and I was full of sadness, so I wrote a letter from the beginning to the end of the matter, and transferred the old mother who sold wine to Xihou.

When Xihou learned the whole situation, he was so sad that he finally understood that everything was made by the businessman. In anger, he killed the baby while the businessman went out and threw it all over with jewelry.

The merchant was furious and went to the government to sue. The county magistrate was not ashamed of the merchant's behavior, seized the paper, and refused to accept it.
