Hangzhou, with its beautiful scenery, is blessed by nature, not only with aura, but also with handsome characters. Even the once-circulated marriage case is as fascinating and attractive as a beautiful and moving story.

during the Kangxi period in the Qing dynasty, there were four families living in Fucheng, Hangzhou. One is the Liu Decai family who is a doctor; One is Pei Yuan, who runs a drugstore. One is the widow's family who lost her husband, and the other is Xu Hao's family who is good at calligraphy. These four families, one with a child's marriage, formed an in-laws relationship.

Liu Decai has a pair of children. Liu Jun, his son, studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he is very studious. At the age of sixteen, the father found a girl for his son and made a fixed appointment. That girl is Pearl, the widow's daughter. Liu Decai's daughter, Ying Gu, has been smart and attractive since she was a child, and has also got engaged to Pei Yuanwu's son.

That year, Liu Jun was twenty years old. Liu Decai saw that his son had reached marriageable age and wanted to marry his daughter-in-law into the house. One day, Liu Gong and his wife discussed it and were about to invite the matchmaker to Sun's house to talk. Pei Yuanwu just asked the matchmaker to come to the door first. He said he wanted to get married for his son and marry Ingu back. Liu Gong thinks that his son and daughter should have a happy event at the same time. Although it is good, money is too tight, so it is difficult to take care of both. So he asked the matchmaker to tell him that his daughter is still young. The dowry has not been prepared yet, and it will be a while before his son gets married.

Pei Yuanwu was a little unhappy when he got a reply. It turns out that Pei Yuanwu is an elderly son, dreaming that his son can get married and start a family one day earlier and inherit the incense one day earlier. However, Pei Yuanwu was honest and timid, for fear that the urgency annoyed Liu Decai and hurt her in-laws, so she had to endure it temporarily.

when Liu Decai returned to Pei's house, he invited the matchmaker Zhang Liusao to Sun's house to talk about his son's marriage.

Widow Sun's husband died young, leaving a son and a daughter. Thanks to the frugal housekeeping and careful education of the widow, she grew up. Sister Pearl and younger brother Sun Cai are only one year apart, and they look very much alike. Today, Sister-in-law Zhang Liusao came to propose marriage for Liu Gong's son. She wanted to marry a man and a woman, so she couldn't delay her daughter's marriage, so she agreed.

Soon, Liu Decai prepared a gift of fruit and set a date to send it to Sun's family. Sun's widow accepted it and hurried to buy wedding clothes.

Who knows, Liu Jun suddenly suffered from typhoid fever, and his health is getting worse every day. Liu Decai thought of his son's marriage, and discussed with Liu Ma, saying, "I think the handsome boy is running out of luck. If you marry and come in, you won't hurt her daughter? Sun Jia went back first! "

Liu Ma said, "I think it's better to invite Sister-in-law Zhang to go, and don't mention her son's illness. She just said that she would marry her first and be a foster daughter-in-law until her son gets well. Choose another auspicious day to get married. If you are ill, when your daughter-in-law remarries, we can ask the Sun family to pay back the bride price and all the expenses. Isn't this a perfect solution? "

Liu Decai felt that it was reasonable, so he followed Liu Ma's advice, invited Zhang Liusao to Sun's house to urge the marriage, and told Liu Liusao never to reveal Liu Jun's illness.

But that morning, widow Sun went to the street and met a neighbor in Liu Decai, asking about the recent situation of her in-laws and son-in-law.

The neighbor told her that Liu Jun was seriously ill and very dangerous. When widow Sun heard this, she thought what would happen to her daughter's marriage? So she is going to ask Zhang Liusao to ask questions.

just then, sister-in-law Zhang Liu came to the door. Widow Sun welcomed Sixth Sister-in-law into the door, anxious to inquire about her son-in-law's illness. Sister-in-law Zhang thought she didn't know the truth, but now she asks questions, remembering the Liu's words in her heart, and suddenly she doesn't know how to answer. When widow Sun saw her hesitating, she was in a hurry and said to Sister Zhang Liusao, Please take my foster mother and let her have a look. If you are really seriously ill, let's wait for your uncle to recover before choosing a date to get married! Besides, the children are not old, so there is no need to be so urgent. "

sixth sister-in-law had no choice but to take the foster mother and go to the Liu family together. Liu Ma meets his foster mother. Liu Ma said, "Thank you for your concern. My son is just a little cold and has nothing serious. There is no need to change the auspicious day. Besides, we have got everything ready, even the invitations for the wedding banquet have been sent out. If we suddenly reschedule, our relatives will not blame you for refusing, but will think that we can't afford a daughter-in-law and won't be laughed at. Please don't worry about the little lady's reply to her in-laws. "

The foster mother said, "My aunt is right. It's just that my aunt is worried about the big official and asked me to say hello so that I can go home and tell her and reassure her."

Liu's mother said, "The official just took the medicine and is sleeping with his head covered. I appreciate your kindness. I'll tell him later. As for the auspicious date, it's settled like this. "

when the foster mother heard this, she was relieved of her doubts and was about to get up and leave.

when she got home, the foster mother reported everything to her mistress. When the widow Sun heard this, she was always puzzled. She walked slowly to her son's room and consulted Sun Cai. Sun Cai analyzed and said: "It seems that he is still seriously ill, so he won't let his foster mother greet him."

widow sun said, "mother thought so, too, but now it's difficult for us. We must choose another auspicious day, and they will have to follow it if they want to come. However, it seems that we are too ungrateful to see his family spend a lot of energy and money on confession. If the big official gets well in the future and the in-laws meet, it will be embarrassing. If you follow them, there will be any unexpected changes, but it will be too late to be annoyed in the future. "

Sun Cai thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it this way: simply ask Sister Zhang Liusao to say that the wedding day depends on them, but we don't take a dowry here, we just go to celebrate, take it back to her mother's house in the Three Dynasties, and then send it together when she is well. In this way, even if there is any change in the future, Pearl will always be a free body, not bound by his family. Isn't this the best strategy for both worlds? "

Widow Sun said, "Look at what you said, it's all children's knowledge. What will you do if people promise to marry and refuse to let them go home after three dynasties? Unless you are sent disguised as Pearl and put your shoes and socks in your dowry, it is of course best for them to let you come back in the Three Dynasties. If you are not allowed to come back, you can wear your own clothes and come back by yourself, and they can't hold you back abruptly! "

Sun Cai thought that there was no other way. I had to say yes.

Widow Sun had made up her mind, so she called Mrs. Zhang Liusao and asked her to go to the Liu family to reply. She also repeatedly stressed that the Liu family would be married only if the conditions were met. If not, she must choose another auspicious day.

the Liu family just wanted to coax their daughter-in-law home, so they all complied with any conditions.

In a flash, it's auspicious. The foster mother first dresses up Sun Cai, and then Pearl teaches him some manners of women. The brother and sister felt very interesting and went to their mother's room together and stood in front of her. When widow Sun suddenly saw her, she couldn't tell who was her daughter and who was her son. After a closer look, she found two flaws in her son. She pointed to Sun Cai's big feet exposed outside the skirt, and pulled his bare earlobe and said, "These two places can't be hidden from others' eyes."

Pearl said, "I'll put on a long skirt to cover the floor later; Walk slowly and carefully, be careful not to show your feet, who will lift up your skirt to see! "

Widow Sun nodded and immediately thought about it. She went to cut a small horn plaster and put it on her son's right ear and said, "If anyone asks, just say that there is a small sore in the ear." Let it be exposed in the left ear and eye, so as to cover it up. It turned out that Sun Cai had an ear hole in his left ear, which he wore when he was young because he was afraid of raising a small child. Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this time.

in the evening, just as Sun Jiagang fiddled with everything, the Liu family's wedding procession had arrived at the door. Widow Sun pretended to cry, put her son in a sedan chair, and asked her foster mother to wait on her.

The wedding procession blows and blows all the way, and then takes the couple to the Liu family. Liu's mother saw that Liu Jun was ill and couldn't afford to lie down, so she had to ask her daughter to come out to meet him instead of her brother. She and her daughter led the couple into the new house together, and she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would sleep alone on her first wedding night and asked her daughter to accompany her new sister-in-law.

Ying Gu promised Liu Ma to get the quilt. At this time, Sun Cai also saw Ying Gu's beauty, and she cheered silently. He thought, it's a pity that I'm engaged to marriage, otherwise, I must ask her to be my wife. I thought again: fortunately, I can sleep with her tonight. Isn't it fair weather! He guessed that the girl was in the prime of her life, and she expected that her heart was already open. I am afraid it will not be difficult to get it as long as she moves slowly later. Ying Gu came in with a quilt and put it on the bed. Seeing that it was late, Liu Ma told them to go to bed early and went to rest himself.

ying gu went to close the door, and ying gu undressed first and slept on the bed. Seeing that Sun Cai was up to no good, the foster mother quickly took Sun Cai aside and warned him in a low voice, "You must be serious and don't make trouble." Sun Cai said perfunctorily, "You don't need to tell me, just go to sleep." The foster mother just needs to sleep on the side of the bed.

Sun Cai blew out the light, undressed and fell asleep with Ying Gu, put his head next to Ying Gu's pillow and asked Ying Gu's age first. Ying Gu answered fifteen. I asked Ying Gu which one she was betrothed to. Yinggu was shy and refused to answer. Two people talking and laughing, fighting, holding the embrace, was Sun Cai succeeded.

At first, the foster mother on the side listened to them talking and laughing, and she was already worried. Later, when she heard the bed rack swaying and creaking, she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep a wink.

The next day, the foster mother found an opportunity to say to Sun Cai privately, "How could you do that last night?"

Sun Cai said, "How can I endure a beautiful woman as beautiful as flowers and jade sleeping beside me?"! As long as you don't say, who else can know! "

Just then, Ying Gu came to accompany the "bride" again. The foster mother had to worry. The two of them are getting closer and more loving every day. The foster mother can't talk much, but she is secretly anxious, and her palms are sweating. Seeing that three dynasties had passed, the foster mother urged Sun Cai to go home. Sun Cai refused. The foster mother wanted to go home and report to her mistress first, but she was worried that someone would break into the room and break their affair, so she had to keep the door tight every night.

Besides, widow Sun disguised her son to marry the Liu family, and she was worried. She pulled her fingers day by day, looking forward to her son's coming home, but after three dynasties, she still didn't see her son, and her foster mother didn't come back to send a voice message, so she was worried about something, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy. Widow Sun had to invite Zhang Liusao to the Liu family to ask questions herself, and agreed to return to the three dynasties. Why didn't she send her daughter home after the three dynasties?

unexpectedly, as soon as Mrs. Zhang Liu sent a message, Ms. Liu scolded her and said, "Although the appointment was agreed, it was because his family refused to marry a daughter, so we had to agree. There has always been a reason why a new wife will return to her family after three dynasties! " Sister-in-law Zhang Liu hit a rebuff, speechless, and did not dare to reply to the saying.

Ying Gu was reluctant to go back to Sun Cai. When she heard that her mother had rejected her sixth sister-in-law, she was naturally happy, but she and Sun Cai were married in private.

that day, they were teasing each other in the room when they heard someone talking outside the door and stopped at once. Ying Gu, sharp-eyed, saw her mother stepping through the door with her brother, and quickly got up to meet her. Sun Cai was at a loss, and his heart was weak, but his face was red in waves. Liu Ma thought his daughter-in-law was shy and didn't care. Ingenious, she greeted her brother with concern, and advised him to go back to his room and take a rest so as not to be exhausted. Together with Liu's mother, she helped her brother back to his room.

when sun Cai saw that Liu Jun had left, he thought to himself, "Although this brother-in-law looks ill, he is handsome. It's a good couple for my sister to marry him. " I also thought, "My brother-in-law is about to recover. If he wants to sleep in the new house, my body will not be revealed at once!" When Ying Gu came back, Sun closed the door and said to Ying Gu, "Your brother has recovered, and I can't stay any longer. Otherwise, something will happen between us."

Ying Gu said, "If you want to leave, you will leave. Leave me, what will I do with my life? "

Sun Cai said, "I'm not an ungrateful person either. It's a pity that you've been betrothed to someone else and I've hired a woman. What do you think can be done?"

Ying Gu said, "If you can't marry me, how can I have the face to go with others? I will follow you anyway, even if I die, my soul will follow you. " Say, sob pharynx pharynx to cry.

Sun Cai wiped his tears and said encouragingly, "Let's work something out together."

but after much thought, they still couldn't come up with any tricks up their sleeves. Ying Gu threw herself in Sun Cai's arms, and Sun Cai held her, equally upset and helpless, and sobbed.

At this moment, Liu Ma happened to pass by the door of the new house. Suddenly, she heard a man crying inside, so she looked through the crack of the door and saw her daughter-in-law and daughter crying in a low voice. When she saw this, Liu's mother understood something. His face was livid with anger, he shook his hand, grabbed Ying Gu's clothes, dragged Ying Gu to an empty room in the back, and shouted, "What have you done to hide?"

at first, yinggu tried to deny it. But seeing that my mother was so angry, I knew that I couldn't hide it at this stage, so I had to tell the truth in a squeaky way. When mother Liu heard this, she beat her chest and screamed, "Sun thief bitch! Lie to me with a son! Since you have hurt my daughter, I will not let go of your son! " While cursing, Liu's mother opened the door and rushed out. Ingu caught up and grabbed her mother's skirt, but she was pushed hard and fell to the ground.

When Sun Cai saw that Ying Gu had been dragged out, she knew that the story was exposed and was in a hurry. She saw her foster mother rush in and said, "The aunt behind is pressing on this matter, so you'd better leave quickly!" Urged by the foster mother, she hurried to open the suitcase, took out the robes and shoes and socks she had brought, forced her to change them for him, pulled him out of the room, closed the door and hurried away from the Liu family.

Widow Sun was surprised to see her son and foster mother suddenly come back, but when she found that they looked flustered, she couldn't help asking, "Why are you still in such a hurry when you come home? Are you afraid someone will chase you?" After the foster mother told the story of the Liu family one by one, the widow Sun was also uneasy. She blamed her son for being corrupt and hurting other girls, and complained that her foster mother didn't come back earlier to report the news, which made things out of control. But complain to complain, also didn't complain about a can deal with, can solve the way, had to wait for the liu's action in fear.

on the other side, mother Liu shouted and scolded all the way, and she was desperate to find Sun. She rushed to the new house and stormed into the door, but there was no one inside. Ying Gu also rushed here at this moment. Seeing Sun Cai slip away, she was not caught and beaten by her mother, and then she sighed a little. Then she cried and said, "My daughter did this wrong thing carelessly, and her mother wanted to beat and scold her, and her daughter didn't complain. But now my daughter can only make amends if she marries a talented man. I beg my mother to discuss with my father and go back to Pei's house to make us all. Otherwise, my daughter doesn't want to live. "

Liu's mother said, "You speak so freely! Pei's family gave a bride price and a dowry. You said to return it, so cheap? If people ask
