In the ancient capital, there was a wealthy merchant named Master Zhao. Mr. Zhao's family has a lot of money, but he has one thing on his mind: his only son, Zhao Xiaogongzi, has reached the age of marrying a wife, but there is no suitable candidate for a long time. On this day, Master Zhao was sitting in the study, his brows furrowed, and he sighed.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and Master Zhao's housekeeper hurriedly ran in: "Master, master, it's not good, little boy, he ...... He's taken a concubine!"
When Master Zhao heard this, his eyes immediately widened: "What? How could he take a concubine himself? Quick, take me to see it!"
Master Zhao followed the housekeeper to the back garden, and saw that Zhao Xiaogongzi was pulling a petite woman, and the two were talking and laughing, very intimate. The woman was delicate and lovely, with big eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
Old Man Zhao was so angry that he pointed at Zhao Xiaogongzi and scolded: "You ...... You unfilial son, you dare to take a concubine behind my back! Do you still have me as a father in your eyes?"
Zhao Xiaogongzi looked innocent: "Father, you misunderstood, this is not my concubine, but the guest I invited." ”
"Guest, what kind of guest needs to pull and pull?"
Zhao Xiaogongzi hurriedly explained: "This is the famous storyteller Xiaohong girl in Beijing, she came to the house today to tell me a wonderful story. ”
When Master Zhao heard that it was a storyteller, he immediately became interested: "Oh, storyteller, then what story does she tell?"
Zhao Xiaogongzi smiled mysteriously: "It's a story about concubines, and it's guaranteed to make you laugh back and forth." ”
Mr. Zhao sat down suspiciously, and the little red girl began to tell her story. Her mouth was like a river, and her voice was tactful, which attracted both Master Zhao and Zhao Xiaogongzi.
The story tells an interesting story about a scholar who takes a concubine. The scholar was originally a suave character, but he married a fierce woman. His wife was very strict with him, and she was not even allowed to go out to see a friend. The scholar was depressed, but helpless.
One day, the scholar met a beautiful woman on the street, and the two fell in love at first sight. The scholar decided to take her as a concubine to quench the thirst in his heart. With great effort, he finally persuaded his wife to agree to take a concubine.
However, this Xinna's concubine is a big woman, who speaks straightforwardly, and does not care about the face of the scholar at all. As soon as she entered the door, she yelled that she wanted to be the master of the house and make the house a mess.
The scholar was miserable, but he was reluctant to give up this new favorite. He had to be angry between his wife and the concubine, and he was in a dilemma.
In the end, the scholar couldn't stand this torture and decided to send the concubine back to her parents' house. However, the concubine refused to go back, saying that she had fallen in love with the scholar and couldn't do without him.
The scholar had no choice but to come up with a solution: he asked the concubine to pretend to be a storyteller and come to the house to tell the story of the concubine. Through this story, he wanted to show his wife that taking a concubine was not an easy task, and hoped that she would understand his plight.
When the little red girl said this, she deliberately stopped and looked at Master Zhao and Little Master Zhao. Both listened with relish, eager to know what happened next.
The little red girl smiled slightly and continued: "After the concubine pretended to be a storyteller, she really attracted everyone in the house. She spoke eloquently and eloquently, and told all kinds of interesting stories about concubines. Everyone laughed, even the wife of the couldn't help but laugh. ”
"What happened in the end?" asked Zhao Xiaogongzi impatiently.
The little red girl blinked: "Finally, that scholar finally got his wife's understanding. Although his wife is still a little jealous, she also knows that the scholar treats her sincerely. She decided to loosen the rules on the scholar so that he could live a freer life. ”
After listening to the story, Master Zhao laughed: "This story is really interesting! I didn't expect that there are so many interesting things about concubines." ”
Zhao Xiaogongzi also smiled: "Yes, Miss Xiaohong is really good." Father, don't worry about my concubine in the future, I will take care of it. ”
Master Zhao nodded, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot. He looked at Little Red Girl gratefully: "Thank you, Little Red Girl." Your story puts me in a much better mood. ”
The little red girl smiled modestly: "Where, it is my honor to make Master Zhao happy." ”
From then on, Master Zhao was no longer so nervous about Zhao Xiaogongzi's concubine. And Zhao Xiaogongzi also learned how to balance family relationships and live a happier life. And because of this interesting experience, Xiaohong Girl became famous in the storytelling world in the capital and became known as "an expert in concubine stories".
