Chapter 673: The widowed sister-in-law is beautiful but has a tragic fate (1)
"People coming from the south and the north, come and take a look..."
There are a few stalls scattered along the official road. This is the only way to Qinghe Town. The trade is prosperous and many merchants and travelers settle here. Gradually, people started to do small business in this area ten miles away from the city gate.
Tea stalls, noodle stalls, wonton stalls...
After resting here, we arrived at Qinghe Town in one breath.
On a hot summer day, the beautiful and charming proprietress of the wonton stall suddenly swayed and lay motionless with her hands on the stove.
Gu Zhen wiped the sweat from his head. In front of him was a big pot. The fragrant bottom of the pot was bubbling, and the white wontons inside were tumbling and sinking to the bottom.
She stood still calmly and looked down. She was wearing a very ordinary dress, a dark navy blue color, with an apron tied around her waist.
Even in the hottest summer, we keep ourselves covered tightly.
He was wearing a headscarf and dressed like a woman, so he must be married.
Most of the customers at the stall were ordinary people on the road, and they were shouting at the proprietress to hurry up.
There were also whistles, laughter, and undisguised scrutiny of Gu Zhen's graceful figure.
Gu Zhen responded while serving out the cooked wontons. The original owner had calluses on her hands and was used to the heat, so she served the wontons to the customer without batting an eyelid.
The disgusting man with a mouth full of yellow teeth pretended to touch the proprietress's little hand, but Gu Zhen put the wontons on the table with a "pop".
Some of the soup spilled. The customer glanced at the proprietress's expression and didn't dare to take advantage of her anymore. He retracted his hand, dipped it in the soup on the table, and then put it into his mouth and sipped it.
Gu Zhen served the wontons with a normal expression and sat down in front of the stove.
【Transmit the plot, system.】
The system "dinged" and appeared, "Hello host, this world is called "Maid in the Room", which tells the story of how the hero and heroine fall in love and get to know each other, overcome class and ideological differences, and finally reunite. 】
Speaking of which, the original owner's story occupies a very short space, and there is not much intersection with the male and female protagonists from beginning to end.
The original owner's family was an ordinary farming family in a village in Qinghe Town. She was born beautiful since childhood, and became more and more beautiful as she grew older.
She even had a gorgeous and enchanting appearance, but her original owner had a hot temper, like a hot pepper, and she didn't have a very good reputation in the village.
But the original owner had a childhood sweetheart named Wen An.
The Wen family is a family that has been passed down from generation to generation by farming and studying. Wen's father is an old scholar with some fame and status. The family has two sons. The eldest, Wen An, knows nothing about knowledge and is honest and simple. He only wants to marry the original owner.
The second son, Wen Zhao, was a rare and intelligent young man with the potential to be a scholar. He even caught the eye of an old retired Confucian scholar in Qinghe Town, who personally took him under his wing to teach him.
Wen's mother never liked the original owner, but Wen An was stubborn and would not turn back once he made up his mind. The original owner wanted to marry someone better and coaxed Wen An into marrying no one else but her.
Thinking that the eldest daughter-in-law in the family should be bold and capable of handling things in the future, Wen's mother secretly observed the original owner and found that she was not a fickle person, so she agreed to the marriage.
However, he did not expect that the day before the wedding, someone from the imperial court suddenly came with an imperial decree requiring every household to send a man to repair the city wall. Wen An was drafted and had no time to get married.
The original owner's family had already received the betrothal gifts and spent a large part of it, so the marriage could not be cancelled, and the original owner was forced to marry.
Just get married, it’s not like Wen An won’t come back, but fate is such a trick. The original owner stayed in the Wen family for a year, waiting for the news of Wen An’s death.
When the body was brought back, it had already rotted and no one could tell whether it was Wen An, but since the people in the court said it was, they had no choice but to acknowledge it.
The original owner became a widow.
Upon hearing that her mother had lost her eldest son, she scolded her daughter-in-law for being unlucky. The original owner did not want to suffer this grievance and had a big quarrel with her mother-in-law.
One year after getting married, she worked as a humble servant, was filial to her parents-in-law, and made shoes for her brother-in-law. Her in-laws disliked her seductive looks and did not allow her to work in the fields, so the original owner stayed at home and made lanterns to supplement the family income.
Her mother-in-law is mean and her father-in-law is hypocritical. If it weren't for Wen An's sake, she would not have tolerated it. Now that her husband is dead, she has decided to throw in the towel.
The Wen family had old-fashioned rules, and the dynasty only respected Confucianism. If a woman got married like the original owner, even if she was still a virgin, she would have to stay in her husband's house for the rest of her life, unless the man was willing to let her go.
The original owner was punished to kneel after arguing with her mother-in-law. She was only able to stand up after her brother-in-law Wen Zhao, who had just returned from vacation, pleaded for her.
Since then, her parents-in-law became even more dissatisfied with her. Fortunately, God had a good fortune. One time, her father-in-law went out drinking with someone and got drunk. When he came back, he didn't look at the road and fell on the ridge of a field.
It was freezing cold and he fainted on the spot. He was frozen solid when he was found.
After hearing that her mother had lost her husband and son in just a few months, she died without taking a breath and followed her husband and son. She left a few words in her trembling moments before she died.
She said that the original owner was destined to be a widow, and would bring misfortune to her relatives. She had a bad fate and anyone who came into contact with her would be unlucky.
Since then, the original owner's reputation has become even worse. Wen's mother didn't want her to have an easy life even if she died, and forced the original owner to remain faithful to her son.
The original owner was open-minded. She thought that remarrying might not be a good thing, and if she returned to her parents' home she might be sold to a brothel, so why not just stay in the Wen family.
She was willing to support Wen Zhao's studies. This uncle grew up following her and Wen An, and was a child with a good nature.
She is loyal, righteous and filial. Her elder sister-in-law is like a mother to her. She will definitely not treat herself badly when she becomes successful in the future.
Wen Zhao could indeed distinguish between good and evil. The death of his parents and brother had nothing to do with this person whom he had called "Sister Azhen" since childhood and who was now his eldest sister-in-law.
She is also a victim.
In this way, the two of them depended on each other.
The original owner relied on her family's money and decisively opened a wonton shop near the official road. She was able to endure hardships, was shameless, had good skills and was eloquent, and she really supported the family.
Although it was inevitable to encounter some despicable people, the original owner was bold and courageous enough to deal with these people. If she was teased, she would treat it as being bitten by a dog, and if she was seriously attacked, she would fight to the death.
Gradually, her reputation as a shrew spread, but no one dared to mess with her.
This was also because Wen Zhao passed the provincial examination shortly afterwards and became the youngest scholar.
The thirteen-year-old Wen Zhao did not have to kneel when meeting the county magistrate. His master found the original owner and offered to introduce Wen Zhao to study at Bailu Academy.
It's far away, but it's the best academy in the dynasty and a rare opportunity. Since the original owner was buying stocks, he gritted his teeth and sold some of his belongings to send his brother-in-law to Bailu Academy.
Before leaving, Wen Zhao kowtowed to her, saying that he could never repay her for her great kindness and that he would definitely ask for a decree to confer a title on his elder sister-in-law when he achieved success.
The original owner stayed alone in Qinghe Town for three years. After hearing that he had won the first place in the provincial examination, he prepared to return home to visit his elder sister-in-law and go to the capital to take part in the metropolitan examination.
At this time, the male and female protagonists of this world also arrived in Qinghe Town. The male protagonist, Xie Songhan, was demoted to Qinghe Town as a county magistrate.
The only person with him was his personal maid who had been with him since childhood, the heroine Qingzhi.
When they passed by the original owner's wonton stall, they stopped to rest. Seeing that the stall was clean and hygienic and the proprietress was diligent and efficient, Xie Songhan ordered two bowls of wontons.
Unexpectedly, just after taking a bite, Xie Songhan suddenly fainted and his face turned pale.
The people accompanying him quickly sent Xie Songhan to the doctor and took the original owner to jail to await his fate.
