Chapter 227 Yan's

A scholar in Shuntianfu, with a poor family and a famine, his family fled to Luoyang. The scholar is slow-witted. He is seventeen years old, and the article is still a mess. However, he is handsome, good at joking, writing letters, and is also very proficient. Outsiders meet him and praise him. How do they know that the scholar has no real talent?

Soon after, his parents died one after another, and the scholar was alone. In order to make a living, he temporarily taught in a private school. At that time, there was a Miss Yan in the village. After the famous scholar, she was young and intelligent. When her father was alive, she taught her to read. Miss Yan never forgot it. When she was a teenager, she learned to write poetry from her father, and she was very talented. My father often said, "There is a female bachelor in my family, but unfortunately it's not a man."

For this only daughter, Master Yan loved her very much and said, "My daughter either doesn't marry anyone. If she wants to marry, she will marry a senior official." After her father's death, her mother was determined to change, and her view of choosing a son-in-law was the same as that of her deceased husband. Three years later, Miss Yan still hasn't found her mother-in-law's house. At this time, her mother left again. Miss Yan was alone and her life was hard.

On this day, the woman next door turned over. The wall came, holding a letter in his hand and talking to Miss Yan. Miss Yan opened the letter and checked it. She saw that the text was fluent. She read it several times and couldn't help nodding. The woman guessed her mind and smiled, "The person who wrote the letter is a beautiful teenager, the same age as the girl, and has no parents. If the girl likes it, I'll let my father try to match it. When Miss Yan heard the words, she was affectionate and bowed her head and said no.

This letter is naturally written by a scholar. He is friendly with women and often writes letters. When the woman returned home, she immediately asked her father-in-law to take care of the bridge. The father-in-law informed the scholar of this matter. The scholar was overjoyed. He hired the golden crow earring left by his mother and entrusted the woman to talk about the matchmaking.

The two choose a date to get married and have a harmonious relationship after marriage. Miss Yan read the scholar's article and said with a smile, "The article written by the prime minister is different from the letter. At such a level, when can you win?" In the morning and evening, I advise the students to study hard and be as strict as teachers. At dusk, Miss Yan first lights up the lamp to study as an example. The two of them read all night until the third update.

After such a year, the scholar was proficient in writing and made great progress. He went to participate in the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, he was repeatedly defeated. For a moment, he was frustrated, depressed, and cried. Miss Yan scolded, "A man, crying all day long, is really ashamed of his seven-foot body. If I'm a man, it's like taking a reputation.

The scholar was in a bad mood. Hearing the words, he was furious and retorted, "You are standing and talking without back pain. If you don't go to the examination room, you don't know the difficulty of the imperial examination. Do you think it's as easy to get a reputation as boiling water and cooking in the kitchen? Even if you are asked to take the exam, isn't the result the same as me?

Miss Yan smiled and said, "Don't be angry, my father. Next time I take the exam, let me dress up as a man and participate in it for you. If I still fall in the sun, I will never dare to despise the heroes in the world. The scholar smiled and said, "Since you don't know what's good or bad, you have to ask for your own suffering, and I will do it for you. I'm afraid that you will show your flaws and be laughed at by your neighbors. Miss Yan said, "I'm not kidding, I'm serious. My father-in-law told me before that Shuntian Mansion is your hometown, and I plan to go back with you and pretend to be your brother. Anyway, you have been wandering since you were a child. Even if there are more relatives, no one will doubt it.

The scholar nodded and obeyed. Miss Yan smiled and entered the room to change her face. When she came out again, she had changed into a man's clothes and smiled, "Am I dressed like a man?" The scholar stared at it. His wife was heroic, as if she were a teenager, and nodded repeatedly, "Like, very much like."

The two rode a donkey and returned to their hometown. The scholar's cousin was still alive. Seeing that the two younger brothers looked like crowned jade, they were very happy and often helped. I saw the two of them study hard day and night, and became more and more respectful. A child was specially invited to take care of the two people. Every time it's dark, the couple send the child early in the morning. There are festive funerals in the countryside, and there are scholars to socialize. Miss Yan never goes out and works hard.

After living for half a year, outsiders rarely see Yan's appearance. If a guest takes the initiative to see him, the scholar will refuse. There are also people who have read Miss Yan's article, and the case is amazing. She didn't report it first and visited it rashly. Miss Yan bowed her hand and went back to her room. The guests witnessed Miss Yan's demeanor and fell in love with her. As a result, they became famous, and the families came to ask for marriage one after another.

My cousin discussed the major events of marriage with her. Miss Yan smiled and was impatient. She said, "I'm dedicated to getting fame. I won't get a head for a day, and I won't get married for a day." Soon after the backyard test began, and the couple participated together. The scholar failed again, and Miss Yan won the first place. Next, in the township examination, he was admitted to the fourth in Shuntianfu. In the second year, he was admitted as a scholar and was awarded the Tongcheng County magistrate. During his tenure, he made a lot of political achievements. Soon, he was promoted to Henan Dao in charge of the imperial history and the prince of Fubi.

Later, Miss Yan asked for leave, returned to her hometown, and thanked her guests behind closed doors. Although she was noble, she was always single and never mentioned marrying. The neighbors were strange in their hearts and inevitably discussed in private. After Miss Yan returned home, she gradually bought a maidservant. Some people randomly guessed, "It's natural to be bad for a big man to buy so many young maids." The cousin-in-law observed secretly, but saw that Miss Yan was well-behaved and did not careless with the maidservant.

Soon after, the Ming Dynasty perished and the world was in chaos. Only then did Miss Yan confess the truth and said to her cousin-in-law, "To tell you the truth, I am your cousin's wife. Only because she is fair and mediocre and can't be self-reliant, this woman dresses up as a man and becomes famous. The reason why I have been living a simple and simple house is that I was worried about the disclosure of my identity, which attracted the punishment of the emperor and made people laugh.

My cousin-in-law didn't believe it, so Miss Yan took off her official boots and exposed her delicate feet. Now, she couldn't help but believe it. Seeing that the official boots were full of cotton wool, her cousin was stunned and admired.

Later, the scholar inherited his wife's official title, and Miss Yan was in the boudoir and closed the door. Because she was not pregnant in her life, she paid for a concubine to continue the incense for the scholar. Sometimes I joke with my father-in-law: "All noble people like to accept wives and concubines. Only I, who have been an official for more than ten years, are still single. Now that you sit and enjoy the beauty, it's time to be satisfied.

The scholar laughed and said, "If you are unbalanced, you can also find a male pet. I don't mind."

Once the scholar made a fortune, his status was outstanding, and the officials, gentry and rich merchants scrambled to visit each other, all of which were seen with the courtesy of imperial history. However, because the official title comes from his wife, the scholar is ashamed to mention it. He has always been a scholar and does not take the official sedan chair for the rest of his life.
