During the Song Dynasty, there was a Taibai County at the foot of Taibai Mountain, and there was a scholar named Yang Zhenwen in the county. His father died early and lived with his mother, Liu. Yang Zhenwen's father Yang Kaishuo was a businessman during his lifetime and opened two wineries and three silk businesses. Therefore, after his death, he left a large inheritance for Yang Zhenwen and his son, and the mother and son lived a worry-free life.
Yang Zhenwen is fifteen years old, has a cheerful and kind-hearted personality, has a handsome face and a handsome talent, and studies in a private school. In a private school, he met his first friend Zhao Youzhi in his life. Zhao Youzhi is of the same age and has similar interests. Whether in school or outside, the two of them are like a pair of brothers.
Zhao Youzhi lives in the countryside, his family is not as wealthy as Yang Zhenwen's family. Yang Zhenwen often brings some delicious food from home for Zhao Youzhi to eat. Zhao Youzhi also often takes Yang Zhenwen home to experience rural life. The friendship between the two made the classmates in the school envious.
When Yang Zhenwen was eighteen years old, she became a scholar with Zhao Youzhi. The two couldn't hide their joy and were ready to find a restaurant to have a big meal to celebrate. During the meal, there was a young woman sitting next to Zhao Youzhi. She was tall and rosy, with skin like cream and hands like soft hair. She was tied up with a silver hairpin on it, which made people feel uneasy and unforgettable when they saw it.
It was introduced by Zhao Youzhi that the girl's name is Su Chunjiao, seventeen years old, and she is Zhao Youzhi's distant cousin, who was specially introduced to Yang Zhenwen. When Yang Zhenwen heard this, he felt even happier and added six more dishes. During the meal, the three of them talked and laughed, had a great time eating, and drank a little wine.
Since this time we got together, Zhao Youzhi will bring Su Chunjiao with him every time he comes out to meet Yang Zhenwen. Yang Zhenwen is not disgusted, but instead slowly falls in love with this Su Chunjiao. Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Youzhi proposed to Yang Zhenwen that he wanted to marry his cousin. Yang Zhenwen naturally agreed in his heart and nodded constantly.
After discussing with his mother Liu, Yang Zhenwen was about to marry Su Chunjiao and come in. Su Chunjiao lives in Lin County. Yang Zhenwen chose a good and auspicious day. He hired a large sedan chair in the morning and took Su Chunjiao home. The two newlyweds got married and entered the bridal chamber and lived a happy life.
Su Chunjiao Bingxue is smart. After marrying Yang Zhenwen, she took care of the daily life of the mother and son in all aspects. Su Chunjiao does what many servants should do. Liu was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law and praised her daughter-in-law for being so good to everyone. Yang Zhenwen felt very pleased that she married such a beautiful wife and was obedient to Su Chunjiao.
Liu’s biggest wish is to be able to hold his grandson as soon as possible. For this reason, Yang Zhenwen and his wife went to Huiji Temple in Putuo Mountain to pay homage to Guanyin. This trip was indeed in vain. Less than a year after returning, Su Chunjiao gave birth to a big fat boy, but the child was less than term and was a premature baby. However, Yang Zhenwen spent a lot of money to invite the best doctor, and in the end, the mother and son were safe. The child is growing up day by day, and the Yang family's business is also going well. Yang Zhenwen seems to have reached the peak of his life.
While Yang Zhenwen is studying, he also takes time to collect accounts in the store every day. Seeing this, Su Chunjiao took the initiative to propose: "My husband, you are so busy studying every day. If you believe me, you might as well leave the collection of accounts to me." Hearing this, Yang Zhenwen hurriedly said: "My wife is so serious. You and my husband are as deep as the sea of love. How can you believe it or not? I just don't want you to overwork." "It's okay to be a little tired of your own affairs. From tomorrow on, leave the collection of accounts to me!" Su Chunjiao said. Yang Zhenwen nodded in agreement.
From this day, Su Chunjiao began to come into contact with the Yang family's business. She took over all the business of the Yang family and managed it in an orderly manner. In less than a year, all the Yang family's business was in the hands of Su Chunjiao. Yang Zhenwen has changed from being busy every day to being idle. During his studies, his biggest hobby was to invite three or five friends to a restaurant to drink, and recite poems while drinking.
On a day, Yang Zhenwen came out of a restaurant and passed by a bun shop. He saw the owner of the bun shop and was pulling a Taoist priest with a friend. The Taoist priest was wearing a basket of clothes, his face was flushed and a little crazy. The two of them kept tearing him, and he kept stuffing buns into his mouth.
Seeing this, Yang Zhenwen hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the three of them away and asked, "What's going on? Why do you want to hit people in the street?" The owner of the bun shop said angrily, "This stinky Taoist priest, you want to eat for nothing!" Yang Zhenwen glanced at the Taoist priest, who was still stuffing buns into his mouth. "I'm just a few buns. I'll give him money. Judging from his appearance, he must be very hungry." After hearing what Yang Zhenwen said, the owner of the bun shop calmed down.
"Pack up all the remaining buns for me!" Yang Zhenwen said to the owner of the bun shop. The owner of the bun shop shook his head and wrapped the buns, muttering, "Now, good people are not full, so they even go to give alms to a stinky Taoist priest. Being rich is willful!"
Yang Zhenwen disagreed, picked up the buns and put them in the hands of the Taoist priest and said kindly, "Eat, eat as much as you want!" The Taoist priest looked at him and calmed down, no longer crazy. Then, Yang Zhenwen turned around and walked towards the direction of going home.
When he was about to get home, Yang Zhenwen suddenly felt as if someone was following him. Looking back, it turned out to be the Taoist priest at the door of the bun shop just now. At this time, the Taoist priest had become a normal person and spoke to Yang Zhenwen, "Please stay, young master, I can see some suspicion from your eyebrows, don't you know whether to speak or not?"
Yang Zhenwen smiled and bowed and said, "Master, just say it if you have something to do!" The Taoist priest said, "You are too kind and don't beware of the people and things around you. Listen to my advice and sell all your property. , take your mother away from here! "When he heard the Taoist priest say this, Yang Zhenwen laughed and said, "Master, are you kidding? My wife is virtuous and her business is going well. How can I leave?" The Taoist priest shook his head slowly and sighed and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force anyone. Remember what I said, come to me when you are homeless!" After that, he stuffed a black treasure bag into Yang Zhenwen's hand and turned around and left. Yang Zhen felt that the writing was inexplicable, so he put the treasure bag in his arms and went home.
Two months later, Yang Zhenwen is preparing to go to the city to take the exam, and it will take at least one month to go there. After explaining to his wife Su Chunjiao, Yang Zhenwen went to find Zhao Youzhi and planned to set off together. What surprised him was that Zhao Youzhi was not at home. His father said that Zhao Youzhi went to the city to take the exam ten days ago.
"This Zhao Youzhi is really not a friend, so he actually left first!" Yang Zhenwen complained in his heart. There is no way, I can only go on the road alone. What made Yang Zhenwen even more strange was that when he arrived in the city, he did not see Zhao Youzhi. With a strange mood, Yang Zhenwen finished the exam and failed. In the examination room, Yang Zhenwen still did not see Zhao Youzhi. And at this time, it was already a month later. Thinking of his wife and son at home, Yang Zhenwen missed him very much and rushed back home with great speed.
After arriving at home, Yang Zhenwen couldn't wait to knock on the door of the house. What surprised him was that the person who opened the door turned out to be a stranger. After asking, I found out that the house here was sold by Su Chunjiao to a family who had just moved here from another place half a month ago.
Yang Zhenwen realized that things were not good, so he hurriedly got on the horse and came to Zhao Youzhi's house. But Zhao Youzhi's family was empty, and the building was empty. Go to your own store and take a look, all the stores have changed their owners. At this time, Yang Zhenwen couldn't believe that his wife, who had been sleeping with her for three years, was so cruel that she had deceived her into losing everything, and even her mother was missing.
Yang Zhenwen came to the county government to carry the case. County Magistrate Su Qing'an ignored the case and delayed it again and again. He did not give Yang Zhenwen an explanation for more than two months. The heartbroken Yang Zhenwen sat under the locust tree outside his house, crying. Suddenly I remembered what the Taoist priest said to him three months ago, and I really regretted it.
Yang Zhenwen took out the tips given to him by the Taoist priest, opened them and saw that there was a white cloth with the address written on it.Yang Zhenwen came to a Taoist temple according to this address. A long distance away, Yang Zhenwen saw a man standing at the door of the Taoist temple. This man was the Taoist priest who snatched buns on the street three months ago.
Yang Zhenwen came to the Taoist priest with tears in his eyes and knelt on his knees: "Master, you save me. It's all my fault that I didn't believe you at the beginning. Now I'm separated and have nothing!" "Your Majesty, please get up quickly. If you have kindness to me, I will definitely help you!" As he said that, the Taoist priest leaned over and helped Yang Zhenwen up from the ground. Afterwards, Yang Zhenwen was taken to a quiet room, where the Taoist priest told Yang Zhenwen about the cause and effect of the matter.
It turns out that Zhao Youzhi and Su Chunjiao have made a baby marriage since childhood and are his wife who has not passed away. And his friendship with Yang Zhenwen was originally pure. However, Zhao Youzhi's father Zhao Xuren was incorrect. When I learned that my son had made a wealthy friend, I thought all day long about how to get some money from the Yang family so that I would not have to work hard every day and would not make much money throughout the year.
At first, Zhao Youzhi didn't want to do this, but he couldn't stand his father's instigation over the years. Finally, Su Chunjiao, who colluded with his fiancée, performed a scene and cheated away all the property of Yang Zhenwen's family. Even Yang Zhenwen's son is not his biological child. He became pregnant before Su Chunjiao passed the family, so the child seemed to have a premature birth, but in fact he was born from full term.
After hearing this, Yang Zhenwen was so angry that her face turned blue and her whole body was trembling. "Master, do you know where they are now?" Yang Zhenwen asked. The Taoist priest did not answer directly and whispered in Yang Zhenwen's ear. According to the Taoist priest, Yang Zhenwen came to Su Chunjiao's house in Lin County and indeed met her and Zhao Youzhi.
Yang Zhenwen glanced at Su Chunjiao, and Su Chunjiao's head was expressionless and said nothing. Then, he glared at Zhao Youzhi and said, "Zhao Youzhi, what deep hatred do I have with you? You actually used your fiancée as bait to deceive my property?" At this time, Zhao Youzhi was already a rich man and said arrogantly: "Yang Zhenwen, don't think you are the rich young master before. Be kind to me and annoy me. I will send you to see the King of Hell! Why do you have to endure wealth as soon as you were born, but I have to endure hardships. Fengshui takes turns, I have paid so much, and it's time for me to live a rich life!"
"Zhao Youzhi, you cheated on my property and hurt my mother, aren't you afraid that I will report to the official position? Hand over my mother quickly!" Yang Zhenwen scolded angrily. "Report to the official? County magistrate Su Qing'an is my wife's uncle. Do you think I'm afraid of reporting to the official?" Zhao Youzhi said proudly. After saying that, he closed the door and left Yang Zhenwen alone outside the door.
Yang Zhenwen ran back to the Taoist temple like crazy. "Master, please help me. The county magistrate is Su Chunjiao's uncle. It would be useless to report this matter to the official!" Yang Zhenwen knelt on the ground and begged the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest helped Yang Zhenwen up and said, "I can't help you in this matter, but there is someone, maybe she can help you."
After saying that, the Taoist priest took Yang Zhenwen to a room where a young woman sat upright, and the woman lowered her head and wiped her tears. Yang Zhenwen looked at the Taoist priest for some reason, and the Taoist priest said, "You two can be said to be sympathetic to each other, and you can be relieved when you express your feelings." After that, the Taoist priest closed the door and left.
The woman looked up at Yang Zhenwen, then lowered her head and continued to cry. Suddenly, Yang Zhenwen felt that the atmosphere in the room became very awkward. He tiptoed to the woman and looked at her, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Whose woman actually gave birth to such a beautiful appearance!"
Yang Zhenwen moved to the chair opposite the woman and sat down, and stammered and asked, "What's wrong with the girl crying so sadly?" The woman still didn't say anything and continued to cry. Seeing this, Yang Zhenwen told him about his deception.
After listening to Yang Zhenwen's story, the woman stopped crying, wiped her eyes, and looked at him with sympathy. Yang Zhenwen lowered her head embarrassedly. "Oh! Your life experience is so pitiful. You and I are really pitiful!" the woman sighed.
Yang Zhenwen nodded, and then the two began to express their feelings to each other.Through the woman's remarks, she learned that her name is Liu Xiangzhi. My father was Liu Yongluan, the prime minister of the dynasty. Because of an unjust case, Liu Yongluan was sent to prison by the emperor. Before leaving, his father instructed Liu Xiangzhi to escape from the capital overnight to avoid being implicated. During the escape, Liu Xiangzhi unfortunately overturned the carriage and fell into the valley. He was rescued by the Taoist priest and brought back to the Taoist temple.
The two opened their hearts and told their sad things. After more than a month of getting along, the two gradually developed a good impression of each other. At the same time, Liu Xiangzhi's father was restored to his post with the help of the Taoist priest. Yang Zhenwen followed Liu Xiangzhi to the capital and met the prime minister, and told her injustice in detail.
Liu Yongluan was furious when she heard of such an unjust case and immediately sent someone to Taibai County to investigate and investigate. The county magistrate Su Qing'an was removed from his official position, Su Chunjiao and Zhao Youzhi were sentenced to beheading, and Su Qing'an and Zhao Youzhi's father Zhao Xuren was imprisoned and waited for Qiu Hou to behead him. At the same time, he returned all the property that Yang Zhenwen had been cheated, and Liu was also rescued from the Su family's dark room by the yamen runners.
Three months later, Yang Zhenwen and Liu Xiangzhi became partners under the help of Taoist priests. Yang Zhenwen sold all his property and brought his mother and Liu Xiangzhi to the capital. From then on, Yang Zhenwen stopped studying and started a business. In less than three years, he became the richest man in the capital. His wife Liu Xiangzhi gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. The family is happy, and life is rich and stable.
