html years of the Song Dynasty, the wealthiest family in Qingxi Town was Wu Xi and Wu Yuanwai. In the early years, Wu Yuanwai's family moved from the north and saw that Qingxi Town was beautiful, so they settled down here. In recent years, Wu Yuanwai has been a business genius. He has used his money to get involved in restaurants, grain noodles, cloth and other industries and made a lot of money.
On this day, after Wu Yuanwai visited the store, he saw a noise not far away as soon as he went out, and asked his subordinates to see what was going on. After a while, I learned that Yuelin, a scholar from Shangxi Village, sold himself to repay the debt and buried his father. When Mr. Wu heard that it was Pan Lin, he ran over immediately.
It turns out that Pan Lin is not only a famous filial son in the local area, but also a scholar with rich knowledge. It’s a pity that my family is poor. My mother died in her early years. She owed a lot of debts because of her illness. Her father worked hard to earn money. During her studies, Yue Lin also did some part-time jobs in copying books to help her father earn some family income. Unfortunately, it was raining and rainy. Due to years of hard work, my father was bedridden. He saw many doctors and took a lot of medicine, but he just couldn't improve.
Seeing Pan Lin selling himself, his father should be his new death. Mr. Wu had heard of Pan Lin's reputation before and loved talents, so he pushed the crowd away and walked over without waiting for the servants to report.
Pan Lin knelt on the ground, looking desolate and skinny, next to him was a brand that sold himself. Mr. Wu helped Pan Lin up and told him not to worry about money. He came to pay and took Pan Lin home.
Wu Yuanwai talked to Pan Lin, marveling at the other party's talent, especially his mathematical talent, and he will basically not forget the number of things he has passed. He will even raise fundamental questions and appropriate suggestions based on the matter. Mr. Wu was glad that he had dug up the treasure and signed a three-year contract with Pan Lin. He only needed to work for three years. Mr. Wu helped Pan Lin repay his family's foreign debt and bury his father.
Pan Lin knew that this was Wu Yuanwai's helping him. Ordinary families signed a contract to sell their bodies, so they could not return their freedom for three or five years, so they were very grateful to Wu Yuanwai. After finishing the work, Pan Lin started to do things at home.
Wu Man Wai knew that Pan Lin had finished his work and could still study, so he arranged a quiet yard for him to live in so that he could go back early to review his homework after the end of the day.
Pan Lin remembers all the care of Mr. Wu and works harder. In addition to verifying the accounts of each store, we also deal with the difficulties of each store. In addition, we will also choose some clever store manager jobs to train them. After all, I haven't been working here for a long time, so I plan to train more people so that I can take over my work in a few years.
More than two years have passed in a flash. In recent years, Wu Yuanwai's business has gone up to a higher level. In addition to the original business, Pan Lin also helped to develop new businesses and expand Wu Yuanwai's economic territory. Mr. Wu was extremely happy. One day, when celebrating the opening of the new store, he even proposed that he wanted to marry his daughter to Pan Lin.
Pan Lin has met the young lady from the official's family. She is as beautiful as a flower and well-educated.Pan Lin never thought that a poor boy would marry such a daughter. Looking at the drunk Mr. Wu, he thought that he said it casually after drinking, but he didn't take it seriously.
Who knew that Wu Yuanwai was a cheerful person. After sobering up the next day, he immediately told his wife what he thought and asked his daughter what he meant. It turned out that her daughter had long liked Pan Lin, who was talented and elegant, so she immediately found Pan Lin and asked her about getting married.
Pan Lin was so happy that he said that he would study hard in the future and achieve fame and fortune and live up to his grace today.
says that a book is a coincidence, but the things in the world are sometimes more bizarre than the stories in the book.
Just when Mr. Wu was planning to take care of his marriage, a person he hadn't seen for many years appeared.
On this day, a young man in a long gown arrived in a hurry and said with a token that he would fulfill his original promise and marry Wu Yuanwai's daughter.
Mr. Wu was stunned on the spot, looked at the jade pendant for a long time, and suddenly remembered what happened 17 years ago. It turns out that the person who came from was Lin Yiqian, who was the son of his old friend Lin Sheng.
In the early years, Wu Yuanwai and Wu Xi was not a member of the official position, and worked as an official in the Prime Minister's house. Because the Prime Minister's family is rich and Mr. Wu is good at doing business, he leaves all the property at home to himself.Once when he got home after finishing his work, he was followed by a villain. When his life was at stake, Lin Sheng, the janitor in the mansion, passed by and saved himself. From that day on, Wu Xi and the Wu Guan family and Lin Shenglin became good friends. Because of their great power, they took good care of Lin Sheng.
Later, the political situation changed, and the once powerful prime minister fell, and in a hurry entrusted Wu Xi to deal with the money and dissolve the servant.
The day before separation, Wu Xi and Lin Sheng had a breakup meal. Wu Xi was grateful for the friendship between the two and took out a lot of money to Lin Sheng. Lin Sheng was so moved that he cried bitterly. Both of them were drunk. Lin Sheng said that he didn't know if the two could meet again in the future. He had a son, and looked at him and thought about going to school and get fame in the future. Now Mrs. Wu is pregnant. If she gave birth to a daughter, she wants to become a relative of children, and if she gave birth, she will become a brother of the opposite sex.
drunk Wu Xi agreed readily, immediately took out his jade pendant with him and gave it to Lin Sheng. He also said that he wanted to go back to his hometown Qingxi Town and go there to find him.
, but after drinking, I was busy moving and traveling for a long time. Later, after An family settled down, he developed a career. If he didn't mention this matter today, he would probably not be able to remember until he died.
Mr. Wu asked Lin Yiqian a lot of questions, and then he learned that after Lin Sheng returned home, he had bought land and shops to do business with the money he had saved and the gold and silver donated by Wu Xi. Lin Yiqian lived a wealthy life when he was young. Later, his hometown suffered from drought, and his life gradually became difficult, his business was in a slump, and his peers suppressed, and his business lost money, and he sold the land to pay off his debts. Some time ago, my parents passed away and gave me this jade pendant, saying that I would go to Qingxi Town to find Mr. Wu to fulfill my original promise of marriage.
Wu Yuanwai's heart was mixed. He looked at Lin Yiqian with sincerity and then looked at Pan Lin who was quiet beside him, wishing he could slap himself a few big ears.
Wu Yuanwai really likes Pan Lin, and his daughter also likes him. She has been aware of her character for so many years and has a trustworthy character. Even if she fails the college entrance examination in the future, she can give her daughter a good life with her own help. But he is not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word, and Lin Sheng is his life-saving benefactor and gave him the other party a token. If he doesn't keep his promise, he will be sorry for his dead benefactor.
Wu Yuanwai had a fight in his heart, but Pan Lin spoke and asked Wu Yuanwai to arrange for Lin Yiqian to live there first. He should eat and rest all the way. Mr. Wu hurriedly said yes and asked his servant to arrange Lin Yiqian, saying that he would hold a banquet to welcome Lin Yiqian to clean up the dust.
Wait for Lin Yiqian to leave, Wu Yuanwai and Pan Lin looked at each other, and Pan Lin spoke first, "Mr. Wu, I am grateful that you have taken good care of me. Besides, you have doll kiss in front of me. I am reasonable and cannot rob the marriage. Please prepare for the marriage between Xianggong Lin and Ling Ai. I will also be busy. If you need me, please speak."
Foreign Minister Wu sighed and waved his hand to let Pan Lin go to work. I went back and told my wife and daughter about this matter. When my daughter heard that she was going to marry a foreigner she didn't know, not a person she married Xinyue, so she ran away crying. The lady scolded Mr. Wu next to her and drank some yellow soup, but she didn't know the serious business. She didn't know about her daughter's marriage, so she promised to go out and scolded her for a long time, but she also knew that there was no place to turn around, so she could only cheer up and comfort her daughter.
In the evening, Lin Yiqian was invited to a banquet, and Mrs. Wu also came out and the two sides met. Seeing that the other party was like Zhou Zheng, he asked some questions again. Seeing that the other party was not a treacherous villain, he was a little relieved.
Lin Yiqian proposed that he wanted to fulfill his father's will and get married as soon as possible. Mr. Wu refused and agreed, saying that he would take a zodiac auspicious day to organize the wedding.
The wedding was chosen six months later. Because he was the only daughter, there was no relative's property in the Lin family. Wu Yuanwai and his wife wanted to prevent their daughter from suffering, so they let them live in their own home after marriage.
Because Pan Lin's feelings were taken into consideration, he did not allow him to participate in the wedding preparations, but only allowed him to be busy with the store business and study hard. Because he could not choose Pan Lin as his son-in-law, he even discussed with his wife that Pan Lin would be his adopted son and would share his family property in the future. But considering the relationship between her daughter and Pan Lin, let’s talk about letting go of this matter first. After her daughter gets married, she will have no feelings for each other.
Everything was ready in full swing, but suddenly the servant came to report that his daughter went out to burn incense and encountered a robber on the way. Fortunately, Aunt Lin and Pan Lin met him and saved the lady's life. Aunt Lin was injured and is now in the clinic.
Wu Yuanwai and his wife were so scared that they almost disappeared. They didn't care about why they happened to meet the two of them, and hurried to the clinic to visit the three of them.
It turns out that the young lady Wu Mengyue was in a bad mood because she couldn't marry Pan Lin. The maid Guizhi suggested going to Guangming Temple outside the city to burn incense. What if things could turn around? Even if there is no turning point, I would like to ask the Bodhisattva to bless my son-in-law to treat himself well in the future. Wu Mengyue, who was upset, took his maid to burn incense. However, on the way back, several robbers suddenly rushed out. The lady and maid were so scared that they were so scared that they were disgraceful. At this time, Lin Yiqian fell from the sky and fought with the robbers. However, there were many people and Lin Yiqian was no match. A robber was about to chop the driver with a knife when a stone came over. It turned out that Pan Lin had arrived. Pan Lin took a few subordinates to save Wu Mengyue's master and servant and Lin Yiqian. The robbers watched the rescue arrive and ran away in panic.
Lin Yiqian was cut on his arm, the blade was very deep and blood flowed all over the floor. They went straight to the clinic.
After Wu Yuanwai arrived, Lin Yiqian had bandaged his wounds. Wu Mengyue was feeding Lin Yiqian medicine. Pan Lin discussed with his subordinates outside.
Looking at the blood on Lin Yiqian's body, Mr. Wu wiped his tears: "Your father saved me, but now you saved my little daughter. The kindness of two generations of people is not over. We are well prepared and we are still waiting for the wedding."
Lin Yiqian hurriedly said yes, and Wu Mengyue, who had previously rejected Lin Yiqian, seemed to have begun to accept Lin Yiqian, not only fed the medicine by himself, but also made clothes for him.
This quickly heats up the relationship between the two people.
Pan Lin seems to have been busier during this period. Sometimes he leaves after reporting on his work. Due to the previous confusing matters, Mr. Wu can also distance himself from Pan Lin.
Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and Pan Lin’s contract time also expired. Pan Lin said that after the wedding, he would go back to study with peace of mind. Mr. Wu gave Pan Lin a lot of money as a reward for working during this period. Seeing that Pan Lin accepted it without refusing, Mr. Wu felt better.
On the wedding day, the house was decorated with lights and even the county magistrate came to congratulate him. Mr. Wu looked particularly bright and warmly welcomed everyone. Everyone was in the banquet and didn't see Pan Lin coming. Mr. Wu felt unhappy, but he didn't bother to find him.
: both ends. After the gift is completed, the bride is sent into the bridal chamber and the groom toast in front. At this time, the bridal chamber window knocked three times, and the maid Guizhi went out to check it out, and suddenly she was beaten and fainted on the ground. Soon, the door opened and a man came in.
Wu Mengyue lifted the veil and saw that it was Pan Lin. He said in surprise: "Pan Lang, you are finally here."
Pan Lin nodded, took out a pill, and said to her, "Xiaoyue, I took this pill first, and you lit this incense later, and then acted as planned. Don't be afraid, I'll hide, right in this room, I will show up at any time if there is any situation."
Wu Mengyue took the pill, lit the incense, and helped Pan Lin hide. After about half an hour, footsteps came from outside. The door opened, whether it was the groom or anyone else.
The groom Lin Yiqian lifted the veil of the bride and looked at Wu Mengyue with a look: "My wife, what kind of virtue can I marry you? Don't worry, I will take care of you and not let you suffer any grievances."
Wu Mengyue nodded shyly, then stood up, took out a set of pens and inkstones from a secret grid, and saw that the inkstone was black all over, with a small island protruding from the middle of the round shape, and the pen was white all over, and it looked like a superb jade. The pen is placed on the inkstone and just touches the island in the middle. The workmanship is simple and elegant, and it is obvious that it is not a vulgar thing.
"Lin Lang, do you see this set of pens and inkstones you mentioned?"
Lin Yiqian took it in surprise and observed it carefully. Wu Mengyue asked several more times. Lin Yiqian came to his senses and quickly said yes, and praised Wu Mengyue for being so kind and was about to come with her father-in-law.
Who did Wu Mengyue then ask, Lin Lang, how many times have you asked about this set of pen and inkstone directly or indirectly. Is there any secret to this inkstone?
Lin Yiqian's mind seemed to be dazed, and then felt uncontrollable, "Yes, this inkstone is the most critical. I accidentally heard that the former prime minister had a treasure for pen, so Wu Xi had transferred the secret. The treasure map and key were in the inkstone. But Wu Xi, who was confused, actually gave you this treasure easily."
......Lin Yiqian's mind gradually became dazed and told more secrets.
At this time, Pan Lin suddenly appeared, snatched the pen and inkstone, pulled Wu Mengyue out of the room, and several people from the government rushed in and grabbed Lin Yiqian.
Looking at the arrested groom, Mr. Wu was shocked and hurriedly asked what was going on. The county magistrate calmly put down his wine glass, treated the hall as the lobby of the county government, and tried Lin Yiqian.
It turns out that Lin Yiqian is not true. Lin Yiqian was sick several years ago. This person is named Lin Sanbao. He is Lin Yiqian's clan brother. He has been idle since he was a child and fought. Later, he went out to travel, learned some skills, and made friends with some people of the same kind. Seeing that the clan uncle had a strong family property, he had a plan to frame Lin Sheng for selling his property. Later, he drank a drink and accidentally heard that Lin Sheng had a wealthy friend who once worked as an official in the Prime Minister's Mansion. So he pretended to be caring and often helped with wine, vegetables and food. Once he got drunk, he asked Lin Sheng about something. He learned about a marriage between children and heard Lin Sheng say that the key to the treasure was a set of pens and inkstones, one black and one white. After asking about the others, Lin Sheng fell asleep.
Lin Sanbao came up with a plan and pretended to be Lin Yiqian to marry the daughter of the Wu family. I found the jade pendant that Lin Sheng mentioned and some other things that proved my identity. In order to eliminate my concerns, I suffocated Lin Sheng to death. A lonely and widowed man died without causing any trouble. The clan members buried Lin Sheng together.
Lin Sanbao came to find Mr. Wu. Originally, Pan Lin wanted to give up the engagement, but considering Wu Mengyue's happiness, he wanted to check on the other party, so he secretly observed "Lin Yiqian", but he found many clues. "Lin Yiqian" said that he was a student, but he had never seen the other party read a book. He once told an allusion that the other party didn't understand at all. Pan Lin knew that the other party was disguising and sent someone to follow him. However, he saw that he often secretly went out of the city and was with some bandits. Later, he found out that he had secret contact with Wu Mengyue's maid Guizhi. When he went out of the city, he encountered bandits. It was the case that "Lin Yiqian" did. The maid Guizhi encouraged him to go to the designated temple to burn incense and arranged for someone to rob him on the road so that a hero could save the beauty and let Wu Mengyue secretly agree to him.
Pan Lin told Wu Mengyue about the discovery. The two of them acted and found that "Lin Yiqian" and the maid Guizhi. They often asked Wu Mengyue about pen and inkstone. In order to prevent the other party from seeing the clues, they pretended to say that the things are expensive and discussed with their father as dowry items.
Before the wedding, Pan Lin told the plan to the county magistrate. The county magistrate happened to go to the appointment, so he arranged a manpower and lurked outside the wedding room. He also got incense through his relationship, saying that he could let the other party cause hallucinations and reveal the truth, and give the medicine in advance, so that Pan Lin and Wu Mengyue could take it.
Lin Sanbao was sentenced to multiple murders and was immediately sentenced to imprisonment. The maid Guizhi was bewitched by Lin Sanbao and betrayed the lady and captured them together. Mr. Wu was stunned at what happened, and looked at the set of pens and inkstones in his hand, and smiled helplessly. He had dealt with the Prime Minister's family's property secretly, and part of it was sold and transferred, and all of it was brought back to his hometown. I just got a lot of hard work and had no so-called treasures, keys, etc. I was drinking with Lin Sheng at that time. At that time, I said that to become a good person, it is still important to study. The pen and inkstone are always better than abacus and the door stick. Although the Prime Minister has fallen, he has been respected for the rest of his life, and has worked hard all his life, so has Lin Sheng. But when the words were passed, it became a treasure map and key. This set of pens and inkstones was also created temporarily by Pan Lin when he found someone to find someone to create it.
The fake groom was kidnapped at the wedding. Mr. Wu looked at Pan Lin and Wu Mengyue standing together and announced directly that the wedding would be held again. The groom was Pan Lin.
everyone is very happy. Pan Lin later passed the exam and lived a happy life with Wu Mengyue.
