Although he has never met his fiancée, his parents say that she is a beautiful child. Yang Caiyun is secretly happy and hopes to get married as soon as possible and stay together with his beautiful wife.

In ancient times, there was a young man named Yang Caiyun in Caoxian County, Shandong Province. He was upright by nature, frivolous about money, fond of righteousness, and willing to help others. When Yang Caiyun was young, his parents arranged a marriage for him. The person he was engaged to was named Jia Yunhua, who was the daughter of a wealthy family in Fan County, a neighboring county. Although he has never met his fiancée, his parents say that she is a beautiful child. Yang Caiyun is secretly happy and hopes to get married as soon as possible and stay together with his beautiful wife.

A man who wants to get married

When Yang Caiyun was twenty years old, Yang's father and mother picked an auspicious day and sent someone to Fan County to inform the Jia family and send Jia Yunhua to Cao County . Yang Caiyun, who is about to marry a beautiful girl, is elated and feels that her life has entered a gorgeous warm spring. However, something unexpected happened. On the day when the Jia family was about to send their daughter to Caoxian County, the Yellow River destroyed its dams and flooded several states and counties along the north and south coasts into water towns, killing countless residents. The Yang family was not immune. Yang Caiyun watched her parents who loved her being swept away by the torrential floods. For Yang Caiyun, this situation can be said to be a source of great joy and sorrow.

A month later, the flood receded, and Yang Caiyun received another bad news: the entire Jia family in Fan County was missing. Losing her parents and fiancee at the same time, Yang Caiyun was devastated and felt that her life had entered a harsh winter. After the famine, people along the Yellow River fled one after another. Yang Caiyun followed the footsteps of the refugees, begging all the way to the capital, and was finally bought home as a slave by a high official.

People fled

One day, Yang Caiyun came to Zhenwu Temple to offer incense and pray for his deceased relatives. As soon as one foot crossed the threshold of the hall, Yang Caiyun felt that he had stepped on a piece of paper. He bent down and picked it up and saw that the paper turned out to be a banknote worth ten thousand yuan. After burning the incense, Yang Caiyun waited in the temple for a long time but did not see the owner coming. He had no choice but to return. While passing by an alley, Yang Caiyun saw a man in gorgeous clothes grabbing a man in simple clothes and beating him up, while constantly shouting insults. There were more than a dozen strong men standing around the two of them, all of them looked on indifferently and stood aside.

The man went to the temple

Yang Caiyun looked at the person who was beaten, and saw that he was about thirty years old, with a strong and tall figure, a strong back and a strong waist, and a faint sense of heroism between his brows. The person who beat him was definitely not his opponent. But he just bowed his head and endured it and never fought back. Yang Caiyun felt that something was fishy, ​​so he asked the strong men.

A strong man said: "He is a lowly servant who was beaten by his master because he lost his banknotes."

Yang Caiyun couldn't bear to see people suffering, so he asked: "How much money did he lose? "

The strong man said: "Ten thousand yuan."

Yang Caiyun took out the banknote from his arms and handed it to the attacker, and said: "This is the banknote I just picked up in Xuanwu Temple. Look at it. Isn't it the one you lost?"

The attacker was so happy that he found the banknote and left with the strong men.

The person who was beaten got up from the ground, walked quickly to Yang Caiyun, and said, "What is your name, please?"

Yang Caiyun told the truth, but the person who was beaten walked away without thanking him. Yang Caiyun did not ask the other party's name. He quickly forgot about it after returning to his residence.

Three years later, Yang Caiyun's master raped a civilian girl and planned to take her as a concubine. The heroic and courageous Yang Caiyun sympathized with the woman, and secretly let her go when the owner wasn't paying attention. When the owner found out about this, he beat Yang Caiyun severely and kicked him out of the house. Fortunately, Yang Caiyun had saved a lot of money in the past few years, so he bought a horse in the capital and rode it on the way back to his hometown.

Returning home on horseback

When passing through the boundary of Hengshui , Yang Caiyun accidentally lost his way. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he felt uneasy with no village in front of him and no store behind him. At this time, seven or eight robbers jumped out of the woods, holding bright swords and threatening: "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live forever, leave money to buy the road."

Yang Caiyun was frightened and trembling all over. He immediately got off the horse and said respectfully to the robbers: "The luggage and money are on the horse. You can take them all. I just hope you can spare my life." "

The robbers ignored his words and walked up to him viciously, grabbed his clothes, and raised the sword to kill him. When Yang Caiyun saw this, he sighed: "I, Yang Caiyun, have never loved money, so I voluntarily surrendered to him. All the troubles I have are dedicated to you. Besides, I have no enmity or enmity with you, so why do you want to kill me? "

When a robber heard this, a look of surprise flashed on his face and asked: "What did you just say? You said your name is Yang Caiyun? "

Robbers harm people

" You can't change your name when you are working, and you can't change your surname when you are sitting down. "Yang Caiyun said categorically.

The robber said to his accomplices: "I have heard my eldest brother talking about a close friend named Yang Caiyun many times. Let's take this person back to the village to see my eldest brother. If he is really Big Brother's best friend, Big Brother will definitely reward him heavily; if he is not, we will cut out his heart and liver and use them as food and drinks. What do you think? "The other robbers responded one after another after hearing this.

So, the robbers tied Yang Caiyun on the horse and rode forward. At midnight, the robbers took Yang Caiyun to a dilapidated ancient temple in the mountains. In the main hall of the ancient temple, six or seven people were drinking around a table. When the leader sitting in the main seat saw Yang Caiyun tied to the horse, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to untie Yang Caiyun. He brought him to the wine table, asked him to sit on the main seat, and toasted to him respectfully, saying: "You guys are ignorant and have offended your benefactor. Please forgive me." Yang Caiyun paid close attention and felt that the leader in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. Seeing Yang Caiyun in a daze, the leader said, "Don't you remember the servant who lost the banknote three years ago?" "

Yang Caiyun suddenly realized it and asked: "May I ask your surname?

The leader laughed loudly and said: "My benefactor asked me the question, and I should tell the truth. It's just that I have become a robber now. If my name is leaked, I am afraid it will harm my family. I hope my benefactor will forgive me." My surname is Li, so please call me Lao Li. "

Yang Caiyun nodded, took the wine glass from Lao Li's hand, and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing this, all the robbers toasted him one after another. Yang Caiyun had a huge amount of wine, so he immediately started drinking happily. When the wine was full of wine, Yang Caiyun asked Lao Li He said that he was going back to his hometown. "When

Lao Li heard this, he said with concern: "My dear friend, the world is not peaceful now, and bandits are rampant. In order to avoid any accidents, I will escort you all the way back to your hometown to ensure that you have a safe journey."

said. After that, everyone drank again.

Early the next morning, Lao Li gave Yang Caiyun a large sum of money as a gift and told his subordinates: "I am going to send the guests off for a long journey, and the return date is uncertain. During this period, you can move around freely." After that, He took Yang Caiyun down the mountain. Along the way, the two encountered evil-doing bandits from time to time. Relying on Lao Li's superb martial arts, the bandits escaped every time.

After the two arrived in Caoxian County, Lao Li bid farewell to Yang Caiyun. Yang Caiyun resolutely refused and worked hard to persuade him to stay. He warmly entertained Lao Li for a few days.

Persuading his friend

When the two of them parted, Yang Caiyun took Lao Li's hand and said, "I have a word of advice, and I hope Brother Li will listen to it. You are agile and powerful. With such superb skills, you can go anywhere." If we are developed, we should seize the mountains as kings and the grass as bandits. If one day we are wiped out by the army, it will be too late to regret."

Old Li sighed and said, "How dare I not listen to my benefactor's heartfelt words? After I return, I will immediately dismiss the people and correct their evil ways." After hearing this, Yang Caiyun was overjoyed and returned the money given to him by Lao Li. Lao Li refused, and Yang Caiyun said: "You gave me money, and I accepted it; but I gave you money, but you didn't accept it. Why is this? Reciprocity is a courtesy, and you should receive it but not receive it. This does not appear to be hypocritical on your part. Is it hypocritical?"

Lao Li had no choice but to accept the money. After the two exchanged a few words, they said goodbye.

The two separated.

After that, Yang Caiyun settled down in his hometown. Relying on the money he saved in the capital, he lived a peaceful life. After living a prosperous life, Yang Caiyun began to consider marrying a wife. He had very high standards for choosing a spouse and hoped that his partner would be as beautiful as his former fiancée Jia Yunhua. He has been searching for several years in his hometown, but he has never found a woman who can make his heart beat. As I get older day by day, the worry of "There are three ways to be unfilial, the worst is not to have children" continues to spread in my heart. At this time, he heard that a clan brother with whom he had a good relationship was serving as a county magistrate in Changsha. He also heard that there were many beauties in Hunan and Hunan, so he packed his bags and went to Changsha to join his clan brother.

At that time, there was a group of water bandits in the Dongting Lake area who committed murder, swindled goods, destroyed corpses and sunk ships. When Yang Caiyun was passing by Dongting Lake by boat, he was robbed by this group of vicious water bandits, and everyone who was traveling with him was killed. When the bandit leader saw that Yang Caiyun was handsome, elegant and easy-going, he spared his life and promised to marry his daughter to him.

Water bandits harm people

Yang Caiyun was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself: "If you marry his daughter, you will be colluding with the bandits. If this group of thieves is defeated by the army, I will jump It can't be washed away even if it enters the Yellow River."

When the bandit leader saw Yang Caiyun's hesitation, he was furious and raised his sword to kill him. Yang Caiyun was frightened out of his wits and said quickly: "The reason why I hesitate is because I am worried that I am not worthy of the lady, not for other reasons." After hearing this, the bandit leader smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are handsome and elegant. Extraordinary, my daughter will definitely be satisfied."

On the night of the wedding, Yang Caiyun took off the red hijab and found that the bride was beautiful and refined, and she couldn't help but feel elated. Yang Caiyun stared at the beautiful bride, unwilling to move his eyes away from her face for a moment. After looking at it for a long time, he felt that the bride was about the same age as him and was not a girl in her prime, so he asked: "Madam, how old are you?" "How much?"

The bride sighed and said, "I am a twenty-seven-year-old spinster." After saying this, two lines of clear tears flowed from her eyes, and the big teardrops stained the festive red robe.

Something unexpected happened at this time. Yang Caiyun was shocked and asked quickly: "Madam, you should be happy on your wedding night. Why are you so sad? Do you dislike me?"

Night of Flowers and Candles in the Bridal Room

The bride wiped her hands With tears in her eyes, she said: "Ms. sir, my body belongs to you, but my heart will not belong to you. When I was young, I was betrothed to Yang Caiyun of Caoxian County, and my heart belongs to him."

Yang Caiyun heard this. After a moment of astonishment, she asked: "Madam, are you the daughter of Jia Weng of Fan County, named Jia Yunhua?"

The bride was shocked and replied: "Ms.... you... you How did you know?"

Yang Caiyun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam, you don't have to be sad, I am your fiancé Yang Caiyun."

Jia Yunhua couldn't believe that the man in front of him was his fiancé. Seeing his wife's suspicion, Yang Caiyun told Jia Yunhua the year, month and day of their engagement and the flood in the Yellow River on the day of their wedding.

After hearing this, Jia Yunhua turned from sadness to joy, and unconsciously nestled in Yang Caiyun's arms. Yang Caiyun asked: "Madam, I heard that my father-in-law has always been a loyal and honest person. Why would he do such things as robbing homes, killing people and setting fires?"

A woman who has experienced misery

Jia Yunhua sighed: "He is a concubine At that time, Fan County was flooded by the Yellow River, and all my property was washed away by the huge waves. I persuaded my father to join your family, but I heard that Cao County was also affected by the disaster. , your family's life and death were uncertain. In order to survive, my father took my concubine and fled south, and finally settled in the Huxiang area. It has been seven years since then. During this period, my father wanted to marry my concubine. I am a local, but my husband has never been forgotten in my heart and mind, and I have never agreed. Six months ago, my father fell ill and died. Since the family had no money, I could not let my father be buried in peace, so I cried bitterly outside the village. Seeing that my concubine was pitiful, he recognized her as his adopted daughter and buried her father in her stead."When Jia Yunhua talked about the past, he frowned slightly. When he looked at his newlywed husband, he looked happy again, as if he was reunited with her husband after many years of separation.

Yang Caiyun couldn't help sighing after hearing this, and said: "Madam, what has happened these years? It’s hard on you. Needless to say, we are happy now that we are reunited. However, if we stay here for a long time, if one day the government sends troops to conquer us, we will die without a burial place. "

Jia Yunhua nodded and said: "My husband is right, I have this worry too. A few days later, I persuaded my adoptive father to let us leave, and then persuaded him to remain anonymous, abandon evil and promote good, so that we and our adoptive father could save our lives. If my adoptive father doesn't listen, I'll think of another way. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Yunhua was carried to the wedding bed by Yang Caiyun. Yang Caiyun saw fresh red blood stains on the quilt and knew that his wife had been thinking of him and had been keeping his chastity for him, and was even more devoted to his wife. Respect.

Lovers meet

Jia Yunhua persuaded her adopted father according to the method agreed on the wedding night. However, the bandit leader was reluctant to let go of her adopted daughter, and secondly, he did not want to live a life of anonymity. After all, Jia Yunhua did not agree in the future. After several attempts at persuasion, the bandit leader still did not understand the righteous daughter's painstaking efforts.

A year later, the government sent troops to suppress the evil bandits. The bandit leader was killed and the others were also captured. Faced with this situation, he was very desperate and thought in his heart: "It's over, now there is no place to die. Alas, it doesn't matter if I die, as long as my wife is safe, I can die in peace. "

The officers took the roster and summoned the water bandits to come forward for interrogation. After a few quick questions, they ordered the soldiers to take the water bandits away and kill them. When Yang Caiyun's name was read, an officer's face changed drastically. He He looked at Yang Caiyun who was kneeling on the ground and said to his colleagues: "This person is a close friend of mine and will definitely not be a water bandit. "

Yang Caiyun looked up and realized that the person speaking was actually Lao Li. Knowing that he had grasped a life-saving straw, Yang Caiyun was overjoyed and said quickly: "Fellow military lords, I brought my wife to Changsha to do business. Unexpectedly, Imprisoned by water bandits. Thanks to the arrival of the heavenly soldiers, the little man can see the light of day again!

Lao Li asked with concern: "Brother Yang, where are your family members?" "

Yang Caiyun replied: "It should be among the female prisoners. "

After hearing the summons to the gangster

Lao Li, he hurriedly asked Yang Caiyun to identify him. Yang Caiyun found Jia Yunhua among the female prisoners and brought her to the officers. The two of them knelt down to express their thanks. Yang Caiyun said: "I have the capital to do business. They were all hidden in the water village by the bandits. Please allow us to take the money away and use it as travel expenses back home. "

Lao Li nodded in acquiescence and sent five close soldiers to escort Yang Caiyun home. Yang Caiyun went to the cellar where the bandit leader stored his money and swept away all the gold and silver treasures inside.

After returning to his hometown in Caoxian County, Yang Caiyun He rewarded five soldiers heavily. With this huge sum of money, Yang Caiyun became a local rich man. He knew that the money he made was the ill-gotten gains made by water bandits who plundered the people. In order to have a clear conscience, he did not dare. Instead, he used money and food to help the poor and the refugees. With his efforts, the residents of the nearby villages and towns had support for their young and old age; the victims who fled here did not suffer from the cold.

Yang. Caiyun and Jia Yunhua respected each other like guests, played the harp and played the harp, and grew old together. They gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

A loving couple

Postscript: Picking up money is a trivial good deed, but Yang Caiyun survived two desperate situations by doing this good deed. In response to an old saying: "God's blessings are good, so don't neglect doing good things because they are small." "
