During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar in a small town surrounded by mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery.
This scholar is called Wang Shudi. His parents gave him this name, so that he could study and glorify his family.
Wang Shusheng studied hard every day just to become famous all over the world.
However, Wang Shusheng was like he was in trouble. He either missed the exam or failed to catch up with the time. In a flash, he failed the exam for five years and felt really uncomfortable.
In order to make a living, Wang Shusheng wrote letters for others at home and earned some money for food and rice. At the same time, let everyone see how powerful and elegant his font is.
One night, Wang Shusheng was reading in the house that the candle was about to burn out, but Wang Shusheng still had no sleepiness. He thought to himself: Those who have ambition will succeed, and I don’t believe that I can’t do it.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the house.
Wang Shusheng thought to himself, can anyone still write a letter so late?
Wang Shusheng opened the door and found a woman standing outside, looking like she was in her fifties.
Shusheng Wang said: "Do you want to write a letter?"
The woman said: "I want to record the events of my previous life. I am afraid that I will not know where my home is in the next life?"
Shusheng Wang said: "Your request is very special!"
The woman said: "I am Meng Po. I used to owe a liter of rice from the old Liu family. I am not able to repay the debt now. I want to write a letter and ask my cousin to help me pay the debt."
Scholar Wang said: "Are you Meng Po?"
Meng Po said: "Well, tonight, I left the underworld and wanted to find someone to record my previous life. I happened to meet you. I made soup for everyone every day, afraid that I would forget everything in my previous life. I am also confused? I have borrowed other people's Xiaomi and have not paid back the account, so I can't remember it!"
Scholar Wang recorded the situation of Meng Po's hometown and parents according to Meng Po's oral statement, and various things that Meng Po had to ask her cousin to complete.
02. Meng Po discovered the mystery below Wang Shusheng’s house
Wang Shusheng finished writing a letter to Meng Po, and he said: "Write a letter to you is my blessing, and I don’t want money anymore. Can you tell me why I work so hard and never get a good fortune?"
Meng Po said: "I saw your house, and there are grievances under this house, so your luck is not good. If you can't get a fame exam, you won't get a fame exam. "
Meng Po said, "Your house is built on the grave of a down-and-out scholar. He was very wronged if he couldn't get a fame exam. You are still pressing on his nanny." "
Wang Shusheng said, "So that's it! That's really my fault." "
Meng Po said, "I'm so my memory, I give others my soup every day, but I forgot what I want to do. I have important things to tell you." "
Meng Po said, "I'm This time it was entrusted by your brother. Your brother was jealous of you. When his father was seriously ill, he put all his property in his father's grave and planned to take over the wealth himself. But unexpectedly, your brother was sick, but you took out all your savings to treat him. He died before he could tell you this secret. "
Meng Po continued: "Your brother came to the underworld. When he saw me making soup for everyone, he said he regretted it. He quickly told me about this matter and asked me to transfer it. Sue you. You dug up your father's grave! Take these property. "
Wang Shusheng's heart couldn't help but sink. He said, "There is such a thing. I will definitely not dig up my father's grave, so let the money sleep underground to accompany my father! I have to rely on my own abilities and rely on my ancestors to make a living. I am not a hero. "
Meng Po said, "You are really ambitious. I admire you very much. You will definitely achieve something in the future.All Lao Shen wants to do is complete, you can study! "
03 Wang Shusheng explained the reason for the incident
Wang Shusheng told Meng Po what happened.
On an ice and snowy night, the father went out with his entourage.
Suddenly, his father was surrounded by a group of robbers, and his servant Zhang Changsheng sacrificed his life to save his father.
Zhang Changsheng's wife gave birth to a boy. She was very sad because of the loss of her husband. After giving birth to him, she died.
The father adopted this child, and the child was only a few months older than his own son.
The father felt ashamed of this child, so he cared about him everywhere.
The father's behavior was envied by his younger brother.
One day, the father pulled his younger brother over and explained the whole story to him.
Not only did he not appreciate it, he also divided his brother into jealousy for his brother, which was him taking away a love. From then on, he made things difficult for his brother everywhere, for fear that his brother would share his property.
His son Wang said: "When I built this house, my younger brother insisted that I build a house here. It seems that he knew everything in advance, and he was deliberately framed me. "
Wang Shusheng said: "When my father died, my younger brother deliberately gave me away. I did not fulfill my filial piety to my father. I am really ashamed of my father. I just want to study hard, achieve fame, shine in the family, and let my father's spirit in heaven rest in peace. "
Meng Po said: "Human hearts are unpredictable! The heart of a villain determines a gentleman's ambition. "
Wang Shusheng said: "I didn't expect that after his father died, his younger brother often appeared in fireworks and willow alleys, and he soon became ill. I only had a little savings to treat him, but I couldn't help him. "
Wang Shusheng said: "Before he died, I told him that I was adopted by my father and didn't have anything at home." "He held my hand and passed away.
Meng Po said: "So that's it. I admire your character very much. You are a man who stands tall and upright, and you will realize your dreams. Those who take advantage of the opportunity and get something for nothing will not have a good future. Work hard! "
Meng Po disappeared in the dark.
Later, Wang Shusheng stripped down the house. He saved the scholar who was pressed down on the ground in the house and left that sad place. He went to another place where people rarely visited to study. As a result, he passed the exam and became a generation of honest officials.
Conclusion: There are sour and sour in life, but no smooth life. Life is not bitter and difficult, and only by being self-reliant can one be fearless.
