At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"Ren Hao! Open the door for me!"

"If you don't get a wife today, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between uncle and nephew!"

The sound of banging on the door was so deafening that Ren Hao climbed up from the haystack.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked around subconsciously.

The low earthen wall was leaning to one side and there were two small piles in the huge yard.

One pile is hay.

One pile is of dead branches.

The house behind was made of old wood covered with yellow mud and rotten grass. There was no paper on the windows and the tiles were in pieces. It was even more dilapidated than the ancient temple in the wilderness.

Ren Hao's head was a mess and his memory was in chaos, which made him find some memories that did not belong to him in the confusion.

This place is called Gu Han.

Unlike the Three Kingdoms period in history, ancient Han was located in the central region and its national strength was originally strong. However, decades ago, natural disasters continued and its national strength gradually declined, which attracted the attention of neighboring countries.

The ancient Han Dynasty was bordered by ancient Wei in the north, ancient Wu in the east, and ancient Shu in the west.

The three families coveted the colorful world of the Central Plains and always wanted to conquer it and enjoy the supreme reputation of being appointed by heaven and living a long and prosperous life.

Over the past twenty years, the ancient Han Dynasty had waged war against foreign countries no less than ten times, causing the people's livelihood to decline and the people to suffer. The population decreased rapidly during these twenty years, and the court had to strictly order that men must marry at the age of sixteen and women must marry at the age of fourteen.

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: When a man is 28 years old, his kidney qi is strong, the essence arrives, his essence and qi overflow, and his yin and yang are in harmony, so he can have children.

For women, it is 27, which corresponds exactly to the age of 16 for men and 14 for women.

In this way, they could have children immediately after marriage, adding to the population development of ancient China.

boom!

boom!

The earthen wall that originally looked like broken ruins collapsed with a bang, and a sturdy man in coarse linen clothes walked in, staring at Ren Hao with anger on his face.

"I'm talking to you, are you deaf!" the sturdy man said angrily.

Ren Hao was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that this was his uncle Ren Tiesan, who became the village chief of Caixu Village by virtue of his relationship with his father-in-law who was the chief clerk in the county. He led a prosperous life at a time when most people could not even get enough food.

"I'm not deaf, but Uncle San, please watch your legs and don't trip!" Ren Hao's cheek twitched as he looked at the broken wall that was kicked down.

No matter how rotten it is, it’s still my wall!

"You tripped my grandma!" Ren Tiesan cursed, "Hurry up and go out with me to find a wife. You're already 18 years old! If you don't get one this time, don't blame me for reporting your name. When the county comes to arrest you and send you to the army, don't blame me for not taking care of you!"

Ren Hao sighed and looked back at the shabby house that looked like it could be blown down by a storm.

With such crappy conditions, you still want to get married?

If he doesn't starve to death, he will be crushed to death by the collapsed house!

"I have no money and cannot afford to marry!" Ren Hao spread his hands. He had not had a full meal in who knows how long. He had hypoglycemia after standing for just a moment and his vision was a little dark.

"Okay, then you wait for death!" Ren Tiesan cursed and turned away.

"Ouch!"

Ren Tiesan was tripped by the fallen wall, and he cursed even louder, kicked the door and walked out.

Ren Hao did not bother to talk. He walked into the house with weak legs. Looking at the empty rice jar, he searched the whole house again unwillingly. In the end, he only found half a basket of wild vegetables that he did not know where he had dug up.

"Eat it, saving lives is important!" He stuffed a few wild vegetables into his mouth and chewed them hard. Tasting the bitter wild vegetables, Ren Hao's sword-like eyebrows twisted together.

The people of ancient Han had a very hard life! This wild vegetable was their staple food.

"Let's cook it first." Ren Hao planned to cook it first, maybe it wouldn't be so hard to swallow.

As soon as he stood up, everything went dark before his eyes and he lost consciousness.

I don’t know how long it took, but Ren Hao felt his lips were a little wet, with the scent of grass, and he couldn’t help but chew it in big mouthfuls.

"Delicious!" Like mumbling in a sleep, Ren Hao felt something in his stomach and slowly opened his eyes.

The next moment, a pretty face with fair complexion came into view, with long hair tied up in a bun, and a pair of pure big eyes under the curved willow-leaf eyebrows were looking at him with surprise.

"Husband, you're awake!" The girl's voice was as sweet as a lark, but the only flaw was that it was a little weak.

Ren Hao jumped up and asked in astonishment, "What did you call me?"

"My husband!" The girl spoke as a matter of course, with a hint of shyness on her face: "My name is Su Wan'er, I am sixteen... no, fourteen years old, from Tupo Village, and I am willing to serve you with a broom."

"Wait a minute! How did you get here? I didn't go out to pick you up!" Ren Hao was a little confused. These women were brought to various villages by the county for unmarried men to choose from, and he had never been out.

Have I lost my memory?

Pfft!

Su Wan'er suddenly knelt down, about to cry, and said pitifully: "My husband, please forgive me. Wan'er has been weak and sick since childhood, and can't do heavy work. I have been despised many times over the years. The sisters who came with Wan'er were all picked away. It was the village chief who brought me in and said that if I dared to leave, he would beat me to death..."

Ren Hao understood that it turned out that Su Wan'er was the wife that Ren Tiesan forced upon him.

He was so stingy when he was fighting with my father for the land, but now he can't wait to give me a beautiful wife. He is really a good uncle!

Ren Hao curled his lips.

"Husband, please don't chase me away! I am too embarrassed to go back to my parents' home..." Su Wan'er knelt on the ground and begged with tears in her eyes.

Ren Hao sighed secretly, reached out his hand to help Su Wan'er up, and sighed: "Forget it, we are all miserable people, so let's live together."

"Thank you, my husband!" Su Wan'er was overjoyed and was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Ren Hao.

"Don't kneel down like that. I'm not used to it." Ren Hao was not impressed by this feudal dregs. As a modern man, he preferred equal dialogue.

It should be noted that a person who likes others to be servile to him will also be servile like a slave when facing people of higher level than him.

"Yes, my husband, I will remember it!" Su Wan'er's fair and pretty face showed joy.

Ren Hao rubbed his forehead with a worried look on his face. It was already difficult enough for him alone, and now he had another wife. Are they going to fail together?

"My husband, please eat some more. I'll serve you another bowl." Su Wan'er scooped up all the remaining wild vegetables and soup in the pot with a broken bowl and handed it to Ren Hao.

Ren Hao looked at Su Wan'er's frail body and said with a wry smile, "You should eat it. I see you are suffering from anemia."

"I dare not. Please eat first, my husband." Su Wan'er was startled and quickly raised the bowl above her head.

Ren Hao was somewhat speechless. He snatched the bowl and put it aside. He then found a broken bowl, divided more than half of it into it, and then handed it to Su Wan'er, saying coldly, "Eat! Eat it all!"

Su Wan'er picked up the bowl with a look of panic on her face, picked up the chopsticks and ate the wild vegetables in small bites, her beautiful eyes showing both confusion and emotion.

Ren Hao picked up the bowl and ate the remaining wild vegetables. He stared blankly through the empty window at the few dog-tail-like white clouds in the sky, frowning slightly.

What are you having for dinner?
