There is a grocery shop in Chunni Town, and the shopkeeper is named Zhang Qingsheng. Zhang Qingsheng and his wife Wang take care of the shop every day, and their lives are much better than those of ordinary families in the town.
But Zhang Qingsheng was not satisfied with the current situation. He always felt that he was just doing small things when he was just managing this shop every day. He wanted to make more money and then become the richest man in the town. So Zhang Qingsheng discussed with his wife Wang. He felt that the world in the town was too small and he wanted to see the county town. Wang is a traditional woman, so I advised him that his life is already good now and we must be content and always be happy.
Zhang Qingsheng naturally refused to listen to advice and said that people should move more and see some world in their lifetime, and they cannot satisfy the status quo. What's the point of living like this? And you can manage this shop well. Why both of us tied up? I have already decided that I will go out and make a lot of money.
Wang saw that her husband had made up his attention, so he didn't say anything else. Seeing that his wife no longer objected, Zhang Qingsheng asked her to help him pack up his things. He thought that he would leave for the county town early tomorrow morning.
Zhang Qingsheng is a very smart person, and he is also diligent. So Zhang Qingsheng was soon valued by the owner of the medicinal materials store. He became the manager of the medicinal materials store in less than half a year, and of course he also raised his wages.
Zhang Qingsheng worked in a medicinal material store for more than a year. He had already figured out all the tricks in it, so he told the boss that he would not do it, and of course the boss also tried to keep him. But Zhang Qingsheng's purpose of coming here to work has arrived, so of course he will not stay here again.
Zhang Qingsheng used his salary for more than a year to rent a storefront in the county town, and then he returned to the town and sold the shop. Zhang Qingsheng took these and started the medicinal materials business. Usually, Wang still manages the medicinal materials store business, while Zhang Qingsheng goes out to buy medicinal materials. With more than a year of personal connections, his family's business is getting better and better day by day.
On this day, a man named Li Qingshan came to the store and said he was looking for Zhang Qingsheng. The guy didn't care at that time and let him wait. Later, after Zhang Qingsheng came back, he warmly received the person.
It turned out that when Zhang Qingsheng first came to the county town, he was not familiar with the place. Later, he met Li Qingshan. It was with his help and introduced that he went to work in the medicinal materials store. Later, the two of them had no contact. The main reason is that Li Qingshan’s family is a wealthy family in the local area. But when no one is lucky, the Li family's business has plummeted recently. When Li Qingshan heard that Zhang Qingsheng’s business is good now, he thought about coming over and talking about cooperation.
Zhang Qingsheng invited Li Qingshan to the inner room and started chatting. The more the two of them talked, the more they became more and more speculative. When Zhang Qingsheng learned about Li Qingshan’s purpose, he thought for a while and agreed. Because Zhang Qingsheng's business is also facing a bottleneck now, that is, although he is not as glorious as he is now, only he knows that he has not yet entered the circle of noble people. Now, Li Qingshan is here to find him to cooperate with him so that he can enter his circle. Since then, the two companies have been doing a prosperous business and making money every day.
naturally, the two families often walked around. Once, Zhang Qingsheng and Li Qingshan were drinking, they booked a marriage. It turned out that Zhang Qingsheng's family had a boy named Zhang Shuhao, and Li Qingshan's family had a daughter named Li Chunhong. Li Chunhong was three years older than Zhang Shuhao. People said that a girl held a gold brick in her junior year, so both families were very satisfied with this marriage.
In a blink of an eye, both children reached the age of getting married, but when the Zhang family was preparing for the wedding, an accident happened. That night, several thieves came to the Zhang family and robbed all the money of the Zhang family. They set fire to the fire before leaving. By the time people discovered it, the fire could no longer be controlled. The Zhang family became nothing overnight. Fortunately, Zhang Shuhao did not go home in the school that day, so he escaped because of this.
Li Qingshan was very sad after learning about this. So Li Qingshan took Zhang Shuhao to his house and dealt with the Zhang family's funeral.On this day, Li Qingshan called Zhang Shuhao to the study room, and then he said to Zhang Shuhao, "Shuhao, things have come to this point. Just concentrate on studying in the future. As for your marriage with Chunhong, I will handle it. Find a good day to get things done, which can fulfill your parents' wish."
Zhang Shuhao was very moved after listening to it. But now Zhang Shuhao also understands human relationship accidents, and it is not easy for the Li family to take him in now. Besides, he is the only one left in his family now, and he has nothing now. So Zhang Shuhao said to Li Qingshan, "Uncle Li, this is the case now, why not do that marriage just for me. I think I am not worthy of Sister Chunhong now. You can find a good family for him."
When Li Qingshan was about to speak, a servant came in and said, "Master, that person is here to propose marriage again. Today he brought a lot of things here, and now he is at the door. Go and have a look." Li Qingshan had no choice but to go and see what the situation was. Zhang Shuhao was also a little curious, so he went out with him.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhang Shuhao had not seen the person clearly when he heard someone talking outside. "Isn't this my brother Hao? You are so lucky. I have heard about your family. I am really sad. Your eyes are still red when you look at me. But now is not the time for our brothers to reminisce about the past. I am here to do a serious business today."
The person who came to the Li family to propose marriage is Zhang Shuhuai, and he is the son of Zhang Shuhao's uncle. It’s just that his uncle passed away when he was very young. Zhang Qingsheng took Zhang Shuhuai to his house and kept raising Zhang Shuhuai like his own son. What does Zhang Shuhao have to do? He never gives Zhang Shuhuai less. But Zhang Shuhuai has never learned well since he was young and often hangs out with some friends. At the beginning, Zhang Qingsheng thought he was still young and would get better if he grew up. Who knows this guy is getting too much. Once, Zhang Shuhuai and Zhang Qingsheng asked for 100 taels of silver, but Zhang Qingsheng didn't give it to him. The guy went to the account that night and took away all the money inside. After that incident, Zhang Shuhuai never returned to the Zhang family. So he escaped that disaster.
Zhang Shuhuai was talking to Li Qingshan at this time, "My father-in-law, you have brought all the conditions for the land. Today, I have brought them all to you. You must agree this time. Besides, Zhang Shuhao doesn't have a penny now. If you marry Chunhong to him, wouldn't you let Chunhong suffer with him?"
Li Qingshan said after hearing him, "You are late. Shuhao and his daughter got married yesterday, so you will die from now on. Let’s take a break. “
Zhang Shuhuai grabbed Li Qingshan after hearing this and said, “Old guy, don’t lie to me anymore. They got married, why didn’t I hear any news?”
Li Qingshan saw that he was still entangled and said, “Because something happened to the Zhang family, it’s not easy to have a big fuss now, so the family just had a simple meal. Do you believe it or not? Anyway, don’t come again in the future.” After Li Qingshan finished speaking, he walked back.
Zhang Shuhuai still didn't give up and kept pulling Li Qingshan. He also said, "I don't believe it. I want Chunhong to tell me in person, otherwise I won't leave."
Li Qingshan saw his appearance and wanted his servant to pull him away. At this moment, a woman's voice sounded, "What my father said is true. Didn't you want me to tell you in person? I have told you now, you can leave now." The woman coming from
was Li Chunhong. Li Chunhong saw Zhang Shuhuai's disbelief. She walked directly to Zhang Shuhao and then took his arm. Seeing this situation, Zhang Shuhuai slowly let go of Li Qingshan. Seeing that he stopped pulling him, Li Qingshan asked his servants to close the door after walking into the door.
After Li Qingshan returned to the main house, he said to Zhang Shuhao, "Now Chunhong says such things, what do you say?" After listening to it, Zhang Shuhao knelt down directly for Li Qingshan. After Li Chunhong saw it, he wanted to pull him. Zhang Shuhao didn't move and just said, "Uncle Li, I'm willing, but I have nothing now. Can you see if I can get married to Sister Chunhong when I pass the exam."
Li Qingshan said as soon as he heard this, "Shuhao, don't think what I said is unpleasant. How difficult it is to take the exam for fame and fortune now. If you fail the exam, then let my daughter wait for you all the time. What we said at the door today will probably be known to everyone in the city soon. Just do it as I said just now. You won’t hold a big wedding now, after all, this situation does not allow it now. But you kid should remember that you owe my daughter a wedding and you must make up for it if you have a future. "
Zhang Shuhao nodded heavily after hearing this, and said, "I will definitely remember it. "After saying that, he said to Li Chunhong, "Then I will feel wronged, madam. "
After hearing him, Li Chunhong went out with a blushing face without saying anything. Seeing this, Li Qingshan joked, "It's very fast to change his words. Let's get up," Zhang Shuhao quickly stood up and said, "Then father-in-law, I'll go see Sister Chunhong. "He ran out. Only Li Qingshan's laughter behind him was heard.
That night, a man suddenly came to Li's house, and then everyone in the Li family was woken up. The family took all the things they could hold, and then quietly went out from the back door. When the Li family just walked to the city gate, they saw a big fire in the direction of the Li family's house. The whole family was scared.
Who was the person who went to the Li family? Why did they pack up their things and go out quickly? The person who came was Zhang Ershun, the son of the Zhang family housekeeper. The matter started from the day when the accident happened. Zhang Ershun went out to drink with his friends that day, so he went back a little late. When he was about to arrive at the Zhang family, he saw from a distance that several people were lighting the fire at the door of the Zhang family, and the fire was already on the rise. Zhang Ershun was so scared that he hid When the people left, they happened to pass by him and he heard those people talking. He knew who those people were. Those people were Zhang Shuhuai and the prince of the county magistrate. Zhang Ershun waited for him to leave for a long time before coming out. After that, Zhang Ershun gritted his teeth and followed.
Zhang Ershun has been following Zhang Shuhuai secretly these days. He wanted to avenge the Zhang family, but he didn't dare. Today he saw that Zhang Shuhuai went out of the city and went to a mountain village after leaving. After that, Zhang Shuhuai took several people down the mountain. While they were having dinner, Zhang Ershun heard them saying that he would go to the Li family tonight, so he came to report the news quickly. So after hearing this, Li Qingshan took the people out of the back door and escaped, but they couldn't stay in the county town. So, that night, Li Qingshan Qingshan took them out of the county town.
A year later, Zhang Shuhao came back. This time he came back for revenge. After leaving the county town that night, they went directly to the capital, and Zhang Shuhao passed the imperial examination in the autumn examination that year. Later, Li Qingshan used money to connect with each other, and Zhang Shuhao was transferred back here to be the county magistrate. As for the original county magistrate, he waited for Zhang Shuhao to announce the imperial edict.
After Zhang Shuhao entered the city, he went directly to the county magistrate, and then asked someone to arrest the county magistrate, took off his black hat , and then he was sent to the prison. After Zhang Shuhao took over the county magistrate, he arranged for people to arrest Zhang Shuhuai. After interrogation, Zhang Shuhuai admitted all of them.
Zhang Shuhuai started to like it when he was very young. Li Chunhong, but he knew that Zhang Shuhao had a engagement with her at that time. So he kept buried in his heart and never told anyone. Later, Zhang Shuhuai met the son of the former county magistrate when he drank. After the two of them had a bad taste, Zhang Shuhuai told him what he buried in his heart. After hearing this, the guy said, "I haven't gotten married yet." Then how could you give up? You didn't know me before, so you can do this. But now you know me, how can I make my friend uncomfortable. I will accompany you to propose marriage tomorrow, and I don't dare to refuse.
That's it, and the county magistrate's son and Zhang Shuhuai came to the Li family to propose marriage the next day. Li Qingshan saw that the county magistrate's son was next to him, so he proposed that as long as Zhang Shuhuai could take out a bride price of 1,000 taels, he agreed. The county magistrate's son didn't say anything at that time. So the two of them left the Li family in disgrace. After coming out, the county magistrate's son said to Zhang Shuhuai, "Aren't your uncle very rich? If you go to him to borrow it, it means it is a bride gift for marriage."Zhang Shuhuai said, "That old guy won't give it. In fact, even if we have that 1,000 taels, I guess that old man Li can't agree. "After saying that, Zhang Shuhuai sighed.
The son of the county magistrate thought for a while and said, "What would happen if you had these 1,000 taels and there was no one in the Zhang family?" Zhang Shuhuai said as soon as he heard it, "He should agree, it's just a little difficult."
It turned out that the county magistrate had always had contact with the parcel outside the city, and the relationship was pretty good. So the son of the county magistrate brought Zhang Shuhuai to the parcel. Later they discussed how to share the stolen goods after the matter was completed. Then the disaster that night was caused.
There was also the case that Zhang Shuhuai went to the Li family to propose marriage. Afterwards, he thought Zhang Shuhao and the other two were It was already married, so Zhang Shuhuai felt that he could not get what he could not get, and no one else could have it. Then he went to the clan again. Who knew that after they arrived at the Li Mansion, they found that there was no one in the Li Mansion. The next day, Zhang Shuhuai went to find the son of the county magistrate and asked him to help find people in the city. Later, it was left unresolved. Who knew that there was a sudden yamen runner to his house today and took him to the county yamen without saying a word. He had seen such a scene there. He had not used any punishment yet.
After Zhang Shuhao learned the truth, he directly sent Zhang Shuhuai to prison and waited for the death to beheaded in the autumn. Afterwards, Zhang Shuhao led the local garrison to wipe out the clan.
