When Ji Changze finally left, he used the name of Ascension. Because he was the first person in the world to ascend, the country specially arranged for high-definition filming with lightning protection equipment and a global live broadcast.
Under such public attention, Ji Changze "ascended".
When he opened his eyes again, he was in a rather dilapidated thatched hut.
Maybe this body had been lying down for too long, and it was a little difficult for him to get up. As soon as he sat up, he heard a sharp voice outside shouting at the top of his lungs for fear that no one would hear:
"Don't go out and see if an unmarried girl would keep a grown man in her house. Your reputation has been ruined. There isn't even a man in the family. Look at your age, you're almost 20. It's five years old. It would be great if I found such a good marriage for you. You are still here picking and choosing. If it weren't for the fact that I am your second mother-in-law, do you think that this good marriage will be your turn? !”
Then came a crying female voice: "Good marriage? You want me to marry a man in his fifties who is lame and has had three wives. He is old enough to be my father. It's a good thing you can tell me." With the words "good marriage", who doesn't know that you took his money and looked at selling your niece? Let me tell you, my father is gone, but my mother is still there. It's not your uncle's turn to sell me, you Let me go!! Even if I wait until I am old and let the government match me with anyone, I will not let you sell me."
The "second uncle" seemed to have been stabbed in the foot, and she cursed loudly and even more violently.
Ji Changze's head hurt from her noise. He rubbed his head and started checking his memory.
The ancient world had just experienced a dynasty change. Although the new king had just secured his position, his methods were good and he had strong force behind him. If nothing unexpected happened, the dynasty would be stable for at least another fifty years.
The original owner is also twenty-five this year, and he is relatively unlucky. He was originally born in a family with a relatively good financial background. He was sent to school since he was a child. Because he was a little smart, his master judged that he would be at least a scholar in the future, so the whole family pampered him even more. With.
I was pretty good when I took the Tongsheng test. I passed the test at a young age, but maybe I was praised too highly. The original owner really thought that he was a talented player. He no longer studied diligently or studied hard. It was quite a kind of The feeling of being uninhabited.
He passed the scholar examination four times in total.
After failing the exam for the first time, he became very angry and fell seriously ill. He prepared for the third time, but he fell ill before the exam started, so he had no choice but to go home. When he was about to take the exam for the second time, his father had an accident. After his death, his mother died of illness shortly after, and since he carried the filial piety on his body, he naturally could not take the exam again.
By the third time, he had lost many of his advantages and failed again.
The fourth time, he finally passed the exam at the last minute. The sad result was that not long after he passed the exam, the old dynasty fell, the world was in chaos, and everything was in chaos. Naturally, he, the scholar who destroyed the dynasty, was not recognized.
At this time, the family was in decline, and the original owner, who had just been admitted as a scholar and was not recognized, was overjoyed and then sad. He almost went crazy without being hit. In a daze, he encountered that the city where he lived was attacked, and he fled with the refugees. He became seriously ill and almost lost his life.
As a result, when the world became peaceful, he fell into a trance while seriously ill and got separated from the refugees. He walked to this small village and was rescued by this family. They originally just gave him a bowl of water to drink and asked him to wash his face and sober up, but After he washed up and saw that he turned out to be a good-looking young man, the unmarried girl in this family got interested and asked him if he would be her husband. She had no other requirements, just hoping that he could live a good life with her. Raise her mother with her.
The original owner was so down and out, and seeing such a good-looking girl say this was like pie in the sky, so he naturally nodded in agreement without thinking.
This girl's name is Zhao Yueniang. She has a pretty common name. She has a pretty appearance and a neither impatient nor impatient temper. Although she is gentle, she will be tough at critical moments and take charge of the overall situation. She is also a good hand at work and housework. No matter how you look at it, she is a woman who has no worries about getting married. of.
But she was unlucky. She was born on the front leg, and her father on the back leg fell into the river and died. Her father was a capable man at the time. He was almost able to earn more than ten acres of land by himself. When he was alive, everyone in the village envied him. He was capable, but when he left, the property he left behind became a reason for others to covet him.
Zhao Yueniang's mother was weak, and she couldn't hold on after her husband passed away. Most of the family's financial property was taken away by her brother-in-law and his wife. Fortunately, although she was weak, she still had a maternal nature, and she gritted her teeth and kept the last few acres of land in order to raise her daughter.
However, they refused to give up and even began to spread the words of Zhao Yueniang's denunciation in the village.
They occupied the status of Zhao Yueniang's elders. Even if Zhao Yueniang grew up later, there was nothing she could do to them. When she reached the marriageable age, Zhao Yueniang should have no worries about getting married, but because she only had one mother behind her, many people gave up their thoughts.
However, the second uncle's family became interested in Zhao Yueniang's increasingly beautiful appearance and wanted to sell their niece for money. Naturally, they could not let her get married properly.
The young men wanted her to be good-looking, so they spread the word in the village that the better-looking women were, the more restless, estranged, and "funny" they were. Later, they even spent a few coins to bribe a fortune teller, swearing that Zhao Yueniang would be childless. In other words, she cannot have children.
This is a big deal for an ordinary family, and since there is only one mother in the family, and there is an uneasy relative, Zhao Yueniang is left alone.
As time went by, the age of about to turn twenty-five also became her biggest shortcoming.
Because of the war, the population dropped sharply. Many women lived alone without their husbands or became passive widows. Men could not marry wives, and women had no men in their families. In order to change this phenomenon, the new emperor ordered that all women under the age of thirty-five, two If the common people over the age of fifteen have no children, they must be forcibly married.
The meaning of matchmaking is to point out to you any one of the unmarried people of the same age, and then you can get married, achieving the most shameless operation of blind marriage.
You can still find someone you like if you look for it yourself. If you let the government match you casually, you may get a beggar. Therefore, when men and women are approaching old age, they are eager to get married quickly, for fear that they will not get married when they reach age and let the government match them. Weird people.
So Zhao Yueniang faced a scene that her second uncle's family loved to see.
Either the government randomly selects a person to marry, or they marry a "good family" arranged by them.
Zhao Yueniang was also anxious, and then she came up with this idea after discovering that the original owner was very gentle and young.
She had planned all aspects carefully. The original owner had no family, so naturally he would only live here with her. Precisely because he had no family, this family currently relied entirely on her, so it would be very difficult for her mother to let them raise her. It’s easy to accept.
Zhao Yueniang was completely prepared for the worst.
The husband she found did nothing to support her.
This was the best way out she could think of for herself.
As a result, the original owner used practical actions to tell her, no, you were wrong, and there was actually a worse ending.
After Zhao Yueniang spent almost half of his family's savings and worked hard to take care of him and seek medical advice to cure him, he regretted it.
When he was a refugee before, he had always been in a state of confusion. Now that he has settled down, he realizes that the country has a new king and there are no longer wars everywhere. Even if his reputation as a scholar does not count, he is also literate and can settle accounts. You can find a job easily.
In this case, why marry a country woman
She is still so old, and she is not as tender as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
If the original owner regretted it and spoke out openly, he would still be able to make up for it with the money they spent on him, but he didn't.
While he was thinking about recuperating and needing someone to take care of him, he lived in Zhao Yue's house with peace of mind, enjoying her care and the treatment of not having to worry about anything. He usually only slept and ate, and when he felt better, he would wander around the village.
Walking around here and looking there, the little daughter of Zhao Yueniang's second uncle's family fell in love with her.
Zhao Yueniang's second uncle's family was relatively wealthy in the village, and they were willing to dress up their little daughter. The original owner fell in love with this little girl at a glance because she was so gorgeously dressed.
His throat was injured and he couldn't speak. He didn't say it directly, but they both knew it clearly through their eyes.
When his voice was almost healed and no one needed to take care of it anymore, the original owner coaxed Zhao Yueniang into saying that he wanted to get married, and then took Zhao Yueniang's money and gave it to her little cousin.
It turned out that this little cousin didn't really like him, she just wanted to seduce Zhao Yueniang because she didn't want her to get married. She immediately turned against him as soon as she got the money, and even led the original owner to gamble.
After the original owner lost, he signaled that he could get money from Zhao Yueniang.
Zhao Yueniang has no money, but she has a pretty face.
The original owner also lost his conscience, so he deceived the person into the city and sold him to a flower house.
That night, Zhao Yueniang was beaten to death while struggling.
Her old mother didn't know where her daughter had gone, and she tried hard to find her, but she didn't find her. The original owner didn't end up well either, and fell into gambling again. In the end, she was drowned in a panic during the debt collection process.
A typical rescuer rescues a white-eyed wolf.
So now comes the problem. At this point in time, the original owner had already stolen the money that Zhao Yueniang had just given to Zhao Yueniang's cousin. There was also the only silver hairpin of Zhao Yueniang's mother. The money was already all the Zhao family's savings.
Ji Changze touched his throat, stood up and looked outside.
If he remembered correctly, cousin Zhao Yueniang would come over and beep something soon.
Sure enough, after a while, a young woman wearing a brand new floral dress came over with a smile on her face. She was not as good-looking as Zhao Yueniang, but because she had no worries about eating, drinking and working, her skin was fairer than Zhao Yueniang's, and she even had a coat on her face. Rouge makes people’s eyes light up at the first sight.
Ji Changze did not look at her face, but looked at the small piece of white cloth exposed in her arms.
That was the money that the original owner had given her just before, wrapped in a white cloth.
If you take the money and don't put it away properly, but you still show it around in your arms, this is really coming to your doorstep.
Ji Changze pulled his hair to make himself look as if he had just woken up. He stood up and swayed, his face pale and "weak", and he opened the door.
Then he headed straight towards cousin Zhao Yueniang.
When the girl saw him coming with a clear purpose, she probably thought he was going to explain it to her face, and there was a glimmer of pride in her eyes.
She never thought that Ji Changze would expose the money theft. After all, it was Ji Changze's hand. If she revealed it, Ji Changze would be the biggest blame.
However, Ji Changze had no intention of exposing the completeness of this matter.
What happened was that he stole money and gave it to Zhao Yueniang's cousin. Zhao Yueniang's cousin had Zhao Yueniang's family's money in her arms.
Then, wouldn't it be better to remove the first two
He reached out and pulled out the white cloth from her arms and dropped it on the ground.
The very conspicuous fact is that Zhao Yueniang's cousin had her cousin's money and hairpin in her arms.
Zhao Yueniang's cousin was still stunned and shocked. She couldn't believe that Ji Changze had exposed the money and the hairpin like this. Ji Changze knelt down weakly, picked up the hairpin, coughed twice, stood up slowly, and looked back at Zhao Yueniang. Pointing to the hairpin, then to his own eyes, and finally to his confused cousin.
The action has been expressed very clearly.
I saw her stealing your mother's hairpin.
In an instant, he changed from a criminal suspect to a righteous witness who was brave enough to correct him face to face.
