There is a Zhang family in Liangfeng Village who married three men, but they all died of a sudden disaster, so they are not tolerated by the village. Although he looks a little pretty, no one cares about it. Seeing that I was over thirty years old, I was still alone and alone.
On that day, she was feeding chickens in the yard. A blind man came outside and knocked on the gate to ask for water for drinks. Zhang was kind-hearted, so he invited the man into the yard, helped him sit on the small stool, and brought him a spoonful of hot soup for him to drink. The blind man looked about the same age as hers, dressed simply but was very clean, and his face was gentle and handsome, with only a pair of eyes, a faint green light.
When a blind man was drinking water, he accidentally grabbed Zhang's wrist, and was stunned for a moment, a blush flashed across his face, and hesitated and asked, "Dare you ask if my sister is a tiger? The year of tiger, the moon, the sun, the time of tiger?" Zhang was silent. Why is this person so clear about her birthday?
So nodded and said that his name was Chen Sheng, who was a fortune teller, and he knew a little bit about touching his bones. When I was young, I learned a lot of fortune-telling techniques by Maoshan Taoist Master Zhang, and I learned a lot of fortune-telling techniques. I was the first-class divination technique in . Before he went down the mountain, his master once warned him not to reveal too much secrets of heaven, otherwise he would be backfired.
But when you are young and energetic, who doesn’t have any vanity or face? He set up a stall at the city gate and only made three hexagrams every day. Each hexagram was very accurate. Therefore, despite the high investment, many high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen and celebrities came here, trying every means to make just one hexagram.
It is said that wealth and glory are charming. When you see money and are sought after, how many people can endure loneliness? Soon, his rules for the three hexagrams of daily life were broken, and he simply threw them away. He could pay any money in a day. Soon, he accumulated a lot of wealth, married a beautiful wife, and gave birth to a pair of twin children. His life was so proud.
It is said that if the moon is full, the water will overflow. Soon he tasted the horror of the backlash of the way of heaven. At night, there was a fire at home. He obviously smelled the scent of smoke and fire, but he could not move. His wife and children died in the fire, and he himself became blind by the fireworks.
Later, he realized that anything will eventually have to pay the price. He told himself a fortune-telling that his original smooth fate had become a skewer and had no wife or child. The only turning point was to find a woman in the year of the tiger, the moon of the tiger, the sun of the tiger, and the time of the tiger, and then she would get another marriage.
So, he walked a very long way, almost falling forward in ten steps, traveling thousands of mountains and rivers to find this opportunity. Just when he was about to give up, he unexpectedly encountered Zhang's .
After listening to Chen Sheng’s story, Zhang was half-believing and half-doubted, and felt that this person was mostly trying to deceive her. Just as she was about to get up to chase someone, Chen Sheng actually took out a few gold ingots from his arms and gave it to her happily, saying that she wanted to hire her as her wife, which was a bride gift.
Zhang was shocked, why is this person so reckless? As soon as he came up, he asked for a kiss, so he drove the person out. Who knew that the blind man was also stubborn, so he actually asked someone to help him build a house next to him, living next to him, and showing his attentiveness through the fence every day.
About two years later, Zhang couldn't stand the trouble and finally married Chen Sheng. The two soon gave birth to a daughter, named Hongdou. Zhang asked him why he gave his daughter this name. Chen Sheng shook his head and said, "Red beans are born in the south, and how many branches are produced in spring..."
Zhang is a country woman, how can he understand his sour words and sentences. Fortunately, although Chen Sheng was blind, he was a reliable man. He could fumble on chopping wood and boiling water, occasionally set up stalls in the town, write letters to others, and earn two money. The youngest daughter Hongdou served the side obediently and helped lay paper and grind the ink.
More than ten years passed by, and it was time to see the marriage for my daughter.Zhang was so anxious that he looked for matchmakers and matchmakers, but somehow he couldn't get it. There were several times when the marriage was clearly done, but the other party came to refuse it for no reason.
After inquiring, I learned that those families either encountered landslides, mountain torrents, or broke their arms or broke their legs on the way to propose marriage. People in the countryside were looking for auspicious things, so they naturally felt that the marriage was not good. So Chen Sheng and Zhang's daughter were raised at home until she was eighteen years old.
Zhang was so anxious that his lips were filled with bubbles, and he scolded Chen Sheng, "Can you be able to calculate the marriage for your daughter?" Chen Sheng said, everything is destined, and the marriage of your daughter is right in front of you. Sure enough, every few days, Chen Doudou went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and rescued a man covered in blood.
The man was in his twenties. Although his clothes, shoes and socks were scratched and there was still a lot of blood on his body, from the surface, he should be a young man from a wealthy family. Zhang thought that this was probably a ready-made son-in-law, so he tried his best to treat him. The man woke up and was injured in the Chen family for half a year, and fell in love with Doudou over time.
The man claimed to be Liu Xiabai, a native of the capital. He went out with his classmates and encountered robbers. He finally escaped his life, but was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was rescued by Chen Doudou. After Liu Xiabai's injury healed, he asked someone to bring a letter to his family. Sure enough, many people came from the capital, all of whom were wearing silk and satin, very bright and beautiful.
Liu Xiabai proposed to the Chen family, saying that he wanted to marry Doudou and go back to be a concubine. Zhang was a little displeased when he heard this. How could his daughter grow up with her hand? Chen Sheng, the one who felt most sorry for his daughter, advised her that marriage is like this, and there is no need to worry too much, just look at Doudou's meaning.
The daughter has a deep love for Liu Xiabai. After being tender and thinking about it, she still agreed to the marriage. So when Liu Xiabai returned to Beijing, he carried Doudou away with a sedan chair. Before leaving, Chen Sheng told his daughter to be patient in everything, and one day he could guard the clouds and see the bright moon.
Asolutely, Chen Doudou married and became pregnant within a year. She was the eldest son of the Liu family and was carried to become a fair wife. Half a year later, Liu Xiabai's original wife died of illness, and Chen Doudou became a stern wife.
On the day the news came, Zhang smiled and said that Chen Sheng was indeed good at calculating and found a good marriage for his daughter. Chen Sheng smiled and asked his wife to cook a table of food and drinks for him, saying that he wanted to have a banquet for guests, and then sent her out to visit her.
Zhang wandered outside for a long time. After coming back, he saw Chen Sheng drunk. No one had touched the few pairs of chopsticks next to him. He thought that no customers came to him, so he called Chen Sheng a lazy person. Chen Sheng said drunk, "What do you know, you woman? I'm treating two sedan chairmen to dinner. They are coming to carry me in the middle of the night tonight."
Zhang thought that he was drunk and was talking crazy, so he didn't care. Before going to bed at night, Chen Sheng asked Zhang to sleep on the other end of his feet and stay away from him. Zhang scolded, "Who wants to sleep with you old man?" So he rolled up another quilt in anger and slept at the other end.
In the middle of the night, in a daze, I felt someone tucking her quilt corners and said to her, "Because you are most afraid of the cold, I am worried that when I leave, it will cool you down, so I let you sleep here. After I leave, don't be sad, and live a good life with my daughter."
The next morning, Zhang got up, kicked Chen Sheng a few times, and found that there was no movement. He lifted the quilt and saw that he had been dead for a long time and his body was already cold. When Zhang thought about what happened the day before and what he heard in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but burst into tears. When Chen Doudou learned that her father had passed away, she came back from thousands of miles to attend the funeral. After finishing the funeral, she took her mother back to the capital.
Later, Zhang enjoyed all his blessings at his daughter and son-in-law's house and lived until he was one hundred and one year old.
