Wang Taichang, a native of Zhejiang. When he was a boy, he was taking a nap at home. Suddenly, the sky darkened, thunder boomed, and thunderbolts penetrated the sky. Amidst the sound of lightning, a creature broke into the room, as big as a raccoon cat, crouched under him, and refused to leave. Er

The sky cleared, and the creature escaped on its own. Looking at it carefully, it looked like a fox, not a domestic cat.

Wang Taichang secretly felt fear and screamed and shouted in the next room. After hearing the news, his brother came to check and asked about the reason. He said happily: "Brother, there is no need to panic. This is a fox demon. The reason why he came here is just to avoid the thunder disaster."

A good omen has come, and my brother will definitely be noble when he comes."

Later, Wang Taichang passed the Jinshi examination and became a censor.

Wang Taichang gave birth to a son named Yuanfeng. He had a demented personality and could not tell the difference between male and female when he was over 16 years old. Therefore, he was single and had no one to look after him.

On this day, a certain woman came to visit, followed by a young girl with a sweet smile and unparalleled beauty. When asked who she was, the woman said: "My surname is Yu, this is my daughter, named Xiaocui, she is twenty-eight years old, and she is not married yet."

If you don't dislike her, you'd be willing to sell her to a wealthy family as a concubine."

Wang Taichang was worried about his son's marriage. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and asked, "How much does mother offer?"

The woman said: "I just want three meals and three meals a day, and no worries about food and clothing. I don't dare to raise a price. The master makes his own decision, whether he gives more or less, it's the same."

Before Wang Taichang opened his mouth, his wife said, "How about five hundred taels?"

The woman smiled and said: "It's too much, I deserve it." She happily accepted the silver and ordered her daughter to visit the buyer and said: "This is your in-laws, I am happy to serve you. There are many secular things at home, so I will take my leave first. A few days later.

Come see you again."

Wang Taichang ordered his servants to prepare carriages and horses to escort the woman back to her hometown. The woman said, "My humble home is not far from here, so there is no need to bother." Then she went out.

When her mother passed away, Xiao Cui was not sad. She took out her needlework from her dowry and took care of the housework. The lady saw her hard work and was very fond of her. After a few days, the woman did not come, so she asked Xiao Cui about this and where her former residence was.

, Xiaocui smiled and said she didn’t know.

The couple went to church to get married. When relatives and neighbors heard about this, they disliked Xiao Cui's poverty and secretly laughed. Then they met Xiao Cui and saw her bright eyes and white teeth. They were astonished and there was no more gossip.

Xiao Cui has an intelligent personality, is good at observing people's words, and is deeply loved by her parents-in-law. The only worry is that her son is too stupid, and I wonder if Xiao Cui will hate him. Fortunately, Xiao Cui is virtuous, and gets along harmoniously with Yuan Feng without any disputes.

Xiao Cuixing loves to play. She often makes cloth balls and plays Cuju for fun. Every time she kicks the ball, she must wear small leather boots and hit her toes so hard that the ball will fly dozens of steps. At this time, Yuanfeng will act as a coolie.

Running to pick up the ball, back and forth, I was often exhausted and sweating profusely.

On this day, Wang Taichang passed by the courtyard and met Xiao Cui playing ball. Suddenly a ball flew and hit his cheek, causing unbearable pain. Wang Taichang was furious. Xiao Cui saw that he was angry and ran away in a hurry. Yuan Feng was not afraid and remained as usual.

Playing football back and forth and never getting tired of it.

Wang Taichang couldn't get rid of his anger and resentment. Seeing that his son was confused and hopeless, and hated iron, he picked up a stone and threw it with all his strength, hitting Yuanfeng's vital point. Yuanfeng was punished, hurt and scared, and cried loudly with tears rolling down his face.

Wang Taichang sighed secretly and mentioned the matter to his wife after returning home. When his wife heard this, she also felt angry: Xiao Cui was so playful and uncharacteristic of a lady. How could his son be successful if he was infected by her? He was worried that she would lead Yuan Feng into evil, so he rushed to the house immediately.

He went to Xiaocui's residence and scolded and scolded him.

Xiao Cui lowered her head and smiled, pressed her hand on the bed and moved it back and forth. She did not fear or speak even though her mother-in-law scolded her. The lady had no choice but to leave sadly.

After her mother-in-law left, Xiaocui remained as playful as ever. Sometimes she dressed Yuanfeng and put rouge on his face; sometimes she dressed him up and ordered him to pretend to be Xiang Yu, while she herself pretended to be Yu Ji, wearing gorgeous clothes.

, wearing chicken feathers on their heads, playing the pipa, or dancing, and all kinds of acrobatics, all of which are exquisite; sometimes Yuanfeng is ordered to dress up as a desert businessman, wearing strange clothes and making people laugh. And so on.

The lady tried to persuade her many times but saw no change. In anger, she took a wooden stick and beat Yuanfeng severely. Xiaocui was frightened when her husband was punished, and she knelt down and begged for mercy. The lady was relieved of her anger and walked away with a wave of her sleeves.

Xiao Cuixiao pulled Yuanfeng into the house, dusted off the dust on his clothes, wiped away his tears, gave him sweet dates and snacks, and tried to persuade him in every possible way. Yuanfeng's mind was immature, and he was indifferent to happiness and anger, and he came and went quickly.

, giving Xiao Cui soft words of love, turning anger into joy, and laughing through tears.

Wang Geijian of the county town lived in the same lane as Wang Taichang, more than ten households apart. The two had always been at odds with each other. It was the time of the three-year exam. The court assessed officials and promoted them on the basis of merit. Wang Taichang had excellent political performance and was most likely to be promoted to Henan Daotai. Wang Geijian

Dissatisfied with the remonstrance, he secretly planned a plot with the intention of slandering him.

When Wang Taichang heard about this incident, he was worried and troubled, and had restless sleep and food. As the saying goes, it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows, and villains are in trouble, so they cannot help but be wary. Seeing that her father-in-law was depressed, Xiaocui couldn't bear it, so she decided to use a small plan to share his worries.

In the early morning of that day, Xiaocui got an official uniform from nowhere and pretended to be the chief minister of the imperial court. She cut off her hair and dyed it and made it into a fake beard.

, a handsome man with a beard.

After the disguise was completed, they ordered their personal maids to pretend to be official servants and follow them around. The three of them went out on horseback and swaggered through the city, shouting, "I want to visit Mr. Wang."

Seeing this, passers-by said one after another: "Mr. Wang, are you referring to Wang Gaijian? His home is nearby." He pointed out the path. Xiaocui did not comment, rode his horse slowly, and soon arrived at the palace. The servants came out to greet him.

Xiaocui's face darkened and she said angrily: "Who wants to visit what king to give advice? The person I want to visit is Wang Taichang, the royal censor." After saying this, he waved his sleeves and left.

When they returned home, the guard saw the three majestic officials. Not knowing that they were his own ladies, he mistakenly thought they were real and hurriedly informed the master. When Wang Taichang heard that the chief minister was visiting, he hurried out to greet them. When they saw each other, they realized that it was Xiaocui playing a prank, and his face turned pale.

Yue complained: "The little girl is free to do whatever she wants, and if she gives others a handle, disaster is not far away."

Xiao Cui let him complain and smiled without saying a word.

At that time, the chief minister was so popular that he could cover the sky with one hand. Xiaocui dressed up like this old man, which was so lifelike that it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false. The king gave advice without knowing the authenticity. Seeing that Wang Taichang had a good relationship with the chief minister and had a huge backing, he felt uneasy day and night.

Wait outside the door and listen for news.

At dawn the next day, Wang Guijian took the initiative to strike up a conversation and asked: "Yesterday, the distinguished guest in the palace was the chief minister?" Wang Taichang was only obedient and vague. The more so, the more timid Wang Guijian became. From then on, he restrained his intrigues and deliberately
