If a friend comes to Hangzhou, Jiangnan, he will definitely hear people talking about Fuchun Town, five miles south of the city.

This century-old town has settled in the Shen family here, and is well-known for its emergence of several important officials in the court.

The people here are subtly influenced by it. No matter whether it is rich or poor, most of them are obedient and disciplined, and respect the eight virtues.

Three years ago, the imperial court recruited forty young and middle-aged men to fight the Tartars here, and then the war was pacified and only a few people were able to recover.

Some of those women who have suffered evil changes are determined to be polite women. The husbands are dead, the children are young, or the family is in a poor and cold, and they are consistent, swearing that they will never change their lives in their youth and have a heart of gold and stone.

Some are willing to be strong women, but their husbands will not be born alone. They will die calmly, and they will be burned to death.

The minister Chen wrote to the emperor, commending the six gates of chastity, and erected at the entrance of the town as glory.

However, some people were taken back from their husband's house, and there were many reasons.

Some of them have parents-in-law but have no children. The parents-in-law are polite to their young age and are afraid that they will be difficult to defend themselves in the future. They will do something that will be insulting the family, so they will accompany them to send them away with some money and say goodbye.

There are also couples who used to be affectionate and couldn't bear to forget him, and wanted to be calm, but they had no choice but to return because of their in-laws' tricks and sister-in-law's difficulties.

If parents, brothers and sisters-in-law can tolerate others, they will set up a courtyard to accommodate them. They will also be obedient. They will live in a slim hairpin and cloth skirt. They will live in simplicity and make needles all day to supplement their family income. If the parents' family cannot tolerate others, the central matchmaker will look for a way to remarry again, and no one will talk about the length and weakness.

It is said that there is a woman in the town named Xiao Yuan.

Three years ago, in order to celebrate the joy of his sick mother, Ma Yunlai, the eldest son of the county magistrate Ma Xi, was married to Ma Xi's wife. However, before the wedding night was over, the husband was taken away by the recruited official at about the hour of Mao.

The bad news came after half a year. Ma Yunlai was stabbed to block the enemy's arrows for the general Shen Qishan, and was stabbed to the center.

And here she was only seven years older.

It can be said that the roof is leaking and raining all night, and the boat is late and the wind is on the head.

The Ma family's in-laws were arrogant and domineering. They believed that Xiao Yuan was desperate and defeated her. They collected the butcher Zhao Gang for 100 taels of silver to sell her. They were embarrassed and angry and sneaked out and jumped from the top scholar bridge.

The follow-up is even more bizarre.

After Xiao Yuan was rescued ashore, her temperament changed drastically and she made three moves that made the townspeople stunned.

One thing is to beat the drum and go to court. The county magistrate took charge of the matter and broke up with his mother-in-law's family and didn't go back to his parents' house.

The second one was to go to the Shen family to seek justice. The Shen family men were officials in Beijing, and their female relatives also followed them in the early years.

The old house in Fuchun Town was handed over to Manager Feng. He was so entangled that he sent a letter to the third master Chen Qishan. It was a perfunctory plan. The mountains and rivers were full of distances. Who knew that the letters from the family could not be received in the year and month of the year. Chen Qishan quickly sent a message. Once every three months, he would be given ten taels of silver from his official salary to support his livelihood, and others were not allowed to fight for it.

The three things are different from the widow who lives a naive life. She always wears hairpins and flowers in her black hair, dyes lightly rouge, and loves to wear red clothes and dresses in pretty.

I bought a building in front of the downtown street with the two hundred taels of silver, and then took my younger brother and sister to a large plaque of the wealthy teahouse in front of the eaves to make a living to welcome and send off.

The sunlight passed by, and the flower shadows moved from time to time. Two years passed in a flash. The teahouse business was still good, but Xiao Yuan was notorious.
