In the 2nd year of the Ming Dynasty, there was a Dingjiazhuang in Shanxi. Ding Cheng, a famous tea merchant, appeared in the village. Ding Cheng was kind and generous and married a wife who was as beautiful as a flower.
There is an interesting story about Ding Cheng's marriage circulating in Dingjiazhuang. It is said that on the eve of Ding Cheng's marriage, his father-in-law asked a dream to not let him and his wife have a bridal chamber. What kind of story is hidden behind this interesting story? Please allow me to come one by one.
Ding Cheng is a man of miserable life. As soon as he was born, his mother died of difficult labor. Two years later, his father accidentally fell off the cliff and died. The young Ding Cheng became an orphan and was adopted by his uncle. His two thatched houses in his family and the twenty taels of silver accumulated by his father also belonged to him.
But when Ding Cheng was five years old, his uncle married his wife. The wife felt that Ding Cheng was eating and drinking for free in his house, so she tortured him in different ways. The little Ding Cheng rolled his eyes and his whole body was covered in bruises. Finally, under the pressure of his aunt, Ding Cheng had to leave his uncle's house.
Ding Cheng went to the city and was so hungry that he was drooling. Looking at the bun stall on the street, the vendor selling buns asked Ding Cheng, "Where are your parents? If you want to eat buns, ask your parents to buy them?"
Ding Cheng looked at the vendor and said, "My parents are dead."
The vendor looked at Ding Cheng, who looked like a beggar, and thought that the child must have been lost. His parents could not find it, so he took a meat bun for Ding Cheng and said to Ding Cheng, "You eat buns here, and when I close the stall, I will take you to find your parents."
Ding Cheng still said, "My parents are dead." But he still took the buns given by the vendor and started eating them with big mouthfuls next to him. After eating, he quietly waited next to the vendor, waiting until he closed the stall.
The vendor took Ding Cheng to the opera troupe east of the city and brought Ding Cheng to the troupe's boss Chen, and said, "Boss Chen, look at this child, you are born with a play material, you can offer a price!"
The boss Chen pulled Ding Cheng left and right to look, and asked Ding Cheng several questions. Ding Chengdu answered it smoothly. The owner of the opera troupe was very satisfied and asked the vendor, "How much do you want?"
The vendor said, "Five taels of silver, what do you think?"
The vendor said, "Five taels of silver, what do you think?"
The vendor said, "Five taels of silver, what do you think?"
The troupe boss shook his head, stretched out a finger, and said, "Although it's suitable for opera, you have to teach everything from scratch. You have to eat rice in the troupe for several years before you can go on stage. At most one tael of silver. If you can make a deal, the child will stay, otherwise you can take it away!"
The vendor wanted to argue, but the boss of the troupe had already begun to give an order to expel customers. If he bargained for the price, the child in front of him would definitely not be able to sell it, so he simply agreed to the troupe boss and sold Ding Cheng to the troupe for one tael of silver.
Ding Cheng stayed in the opera troupe for a few days. He saw that other children who could go on stage could eat big white steamed buns, but he could only eat leftovers from others, and sometimes he didn't even eat anything. This made Ding Cheng often hungry, so he remembered the vendor who gave him meat buns.
He didn't know that the vendor had sold him to Boss Chen, so he yelled to go back to find the vendor. At first, Boss Chen ignored it and just told Ding Cheng: "If you want to eat big white steamed buns, then learn to sing opera!"
Later, Ding Cheng said it a lot, and Boss Chen was a little impatient, so he said to Ding Cheng: "I sold you to me, and you still have to go back to find him? Then you have to pay me back the money, I'll let me go and let me You go back to find him! "
Ding Cheng then realized that he was sold by the vendor and cried aggrievedly. After a while, he asked Boss Chen: "How much does it cost to pay you back?"
Boss Chen stretched out two fingers to compare and said, "Two hundred taels of silver , as long as you can get it back, I will let you go!"
Ding Cheng cried even harder.
Boss Chen originally liked Ding Cheng very much at the beginning, but since Ding Cheng knew that he was sold to Boss Chen, he has been against Boss Chen every day, neither learning to sing opera, not eating, or doing nothing. He was inevitably beaten by Boss Chen and bullied by other people in the troupe.
Finally, Ding Cheng couldn't resist the hunger. One night, after everyone was resting, he quietly slipped to the kitchen, trying to find some food to fill his stomach, but there was nothing in the kitchen. Ding Cheng was so hungry that he roared, so he sat down against the corner of the wall. After sitting down, he suddenly saw a big white steamed bun on the side of the wall. He was overjoyed and picked up the steamed bun and finished it.
What Ding Cheng didn't know was that this steamed bun was stuffed with rat poison by the chef of the opera troupe, which was used to poison rat poison. Ding Cheng was too hungry and did not eat rat poison at all.
Ding Cheng took rat poison and soon became dizzy and had difficulty breathing. He wanted to go out and ask for help, but soon fainted at the kitchen door.
The one who found Ding Cheng was the chef who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. The chef was shocked when he saw Ding Cheng lying at the kitchen door. When he went to call Ding Cheng, he found Ding Cheng foaming at the mouth. When he looked into the kitchen, he found that the steamed bun of the poisonous mouse was missing. He understood that Ding Cheng had eaten the poisoned steamed bun and was poisoned.
Because it is a matter of life, he dared not make a decision easily, so he quickly called Boss Chen. Boss Chen was the chef's cousin. When he saw that Ding Cheng was dying, and Ding Cheng had been against him for a while, so he had no reason to leave him anymore. So he immediately made a decision, called the chef, put Ding Cheng in a sack, and threw it into a mountain valley, thinking that it would be fine if the jackal, tiger and leopard were eaten.
Ding Cheng should not die. At dusk the next day, an old beggar happened to pass by there. He looked down habitually and saw a large sack. Out of curiosity, the old beggar went down to open the sack and took a look. Unexpectedly, there was a person inside. At this time, Ding Cheng had already vomited some. The old beggar explored Ding Cheng's breath and found that Ding Cheng was still breathing faintly. The old beggar also judged that Ding Cheng was poisoned and was infected with rat poison based on his vomit.
said that this old beggar was also pitiful. He turned out to be a carpenter. After marrying a wife, he gave birth to a son and lived a happy life. However, he became involved in gambling and soon lost the family. After his wife's repeated persuasion, he took his son back to his parents' home. He went to his mother-in-law's house repeatedly to take his wife back, and vowed not to gamble again in the future, but every time he just said and did not do it, and even borrowed usury to continue gambling. Finally, Ultimate came to the family to ask for debts. His wife couldn't bear the humiliation and hanged herself. Her son later died after accidentally consuming rat poison. Since then, the old beggar was heartbroken and vowed not to gamble anymore and cut off his right hand to show his ambition. After paying off all the gambling debts, the old beggar sold all the property in his family and donated it to the temple, and he became a beggar himself.
Because the old beggar's son was poisoned by rat poison, he also learned from the vomit that Ding Cheng had poisoned by rat poison. He looked at Ding Chengru and thought of his son, so he carried Ding Cheng back to the ruined temple where he lived, found a bucket of feces, and poured it into Ding Cheng's mouth. Soon, Ding Cheng vomited a lot, but because the time was delayed a little long, although Ding Cheng vomited a lot, his body was still very weak after vomiting.
In order to help Ding Cheng recover faster, the old beggar not only used all the money he received to buy medicine for Ding Cheng, but also specially bought a chicken to stew for Ding Cheng to eat. Ding Cheng quickly recovered his health under the care of the old beggar, his face gradually became rosy, and he gained a lot of weight.
After learning about Ding Cheng's tragic experience, the old beggar felt even more distressed. Ding Cheng proposed that he would beg for food to repay the old beggar, but the old beggar refused. He said to Ding Cheng: "I am atoneing for the mistake I made in the past. I am old and have no worries, but you are different. You are still young and your life is still long in the future. You have to learn a craft and do some living to support yourself in the future!"
Ding Cheng asked, "But old man, I don't know what else I can learn. I could have learned opera in the troupe, but now I am thrown out by them..." Ding Cheng started crying.
The old beggar hugged Ding Cheng with heartache, treated him as his child, and said gently: "Cheng'er, don't be afraid, the old man used to be a carpenter and knew some carpenter skills. I will teach you slowly."
Ding Cheng nodded and fell asleep in the arms of the old beggar. This was the first warmth that Ding Cheng felt since he was driven out by his aunt. He also secretly made up his mind to study carpenters seriously and could serve the elderly beggars well in the future.
If an old beggar wants to teach Ding Cheng's carpenter's skills, he must prepare the carpenter's tools. All of these tools must be prepared again. However, unexpected events have occurred. Before the old beggar has prepared all the tools, he was bitten to death by a family's evil dog while begging.
Ding Cheng was very sad. He buried the old beggar briefly and cried.
Ding Cheng remembers that the old beggar taught him not to be a beggar, but to learn a craft and make a living to support himself. The old beggar is a carpenter, and Ding Chengru wants to become a carpenter. So he went to the city again to find a carpenter master and learn from others.
The carpenter Master Li didn't want to teach Ding Cheng at first, but he couldn't stand Ding Cheng's repeated entanglements, so he had to reluctantly agree. The old beggar left some silver for Ding Cheng, which made Ding Cheng’s meal not a problem for the time being.
After studying with Master Li for two days, Boss Chen from the opera troupe came to find Master Li to customize a shelf. As soon as Boss Chen entered the Li family's door, he saw Ding Cheng, who was "resurrected from the dead" handing tools to Master Li. He was so scared that he sat on the ground, shouted "There is a ghost" and ran out of the Li family.
Master Li saw it and hurriedly chased him out and asked Boss Chen what was going on. Boss Chen couldn't say that he threw Ding Cheng, who was still breathing, into the wilderness, and lied that Ding Cheng stole his money and refused to admit it. In the end, Ding Cheng quietly left the troupe. Unexpectedly, this "thief" is coming to harm Boss Li again.
Master Li didn't want to teach Ding Cheng's craftsmanship at first, but now after hearing what Boss Chen said, he drove Ding Cheng away after returning home.
When Ding Cheng was driven away, Master Li insulted him with very ugly words. He suddenly felt that it was really difficult to realize the old beggar's words. He finally found someone who was willing to teach him, but after being disturbed by Boss Chen, there was no chance.
Ding Cheng began to become negative and no longer thought about what skills to learn, because he felt that no one was willing to teach him at all. So he packed up the things left to him by the old beggar and made a living by begging. He didn't know where he had gone, but he just knew that he would keep walking. When he was sleepy, he would find a place to sleep. When he was hungry, he would go to the street to squat and wait for the alms.
A flash, Ding Cheng is already fifteen years old.
On this day, Ding Cheng came to Gai County to beg for a while and rested in the temple beside the city at night. One day in the middle of the night, Ding Cheng was suddenly awakened by a fighting sound. He raised his head and with the faint light, he saw a man covered in blood running in and fainting in front of Ding Cheng. At this time, a man's voice sounded outside the door: "I saw him running into this dilapidated temple. Come into the temple to search, don't let him run away!"
Ding Cheng was shocked and dragged the fainted man behind him, quickly covered him with straw, and also covered the blood that had just flowed to the ground with grass.
At this time, several men broke in. In the dimly lit temple, they lit the fire stick and began to search around with the light. When they walked to Ding Cheng, Ding Cheng pretended to be asleep and snoring, which scared the people almost jumped up.
One of them kicked Ding Cheng with his feet and cursed, "Where is the beggar coming here? It's scary to come here!"
Ding Cheng pretended to be kicked, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Who are you? Why did you come here to disturb people's sleep in the middle of the night!"
At this time, the other person used fire break to look closer and looked at Ding Cheng carefully. After confirming that it was not the person they were going to catch, he asked Ding Cheng: "Little beggar, I ask you if you had any of them just now. People have come in this dilapidated temple? "
Ding Cheng said, "Yes!"
Several people immediately amplified their voices and said, "Where is it?"
Ding Cheng said, "Isn't it just you guys, I ran in to disturb my sleep in the middle of the night!"
They felt that Ding Cheng was a little slick and was about to educate Ding Cheng, but was stopped by the person in the leader. The man asked, "Little brother, has anyone come in before we came in?"
Ding Cheng saw that the man spoke well and said, "No, I sleep here every night. Don't talk about people anymore. Even a dog is unwilling to come!"
The people were a little annoyed when they saw Ding Cheng calling them dogs, so they scolded Ding Cheng: "Little Beggar, put your mouth clean!"
Ding Cheng said, "Little Beggar's mouth is clean, then he is not a little beggar!" The man led by
said again: "We clearly saw a man entering the ruined temple!"
Ding Cheng shook his head and said, "Then I don't know. Anyway, I was dreaming of eating chicken legs, so I was kicked to death by you!"
The man saw that Ding Cheng seemed to be not lying, so he said to his subordinates, "Let's go, maybe we misjudged it!"
Don't look at Ding Cheng and those people just now, after they walked out of the ruined temple, Ding Cheng took a long time to calm his beating heart.
At this time, a weak voice came from behind him and said, "Little brother, thank you, you saved me today, I will definitely repay you!"
Ding Cheng then remembered the man he hid behind him, and quickly pulled open the straw. The man had woken up. Ding Cheng quickly helped him up and asked, "Why are they chasing you? Did you offend someone?"
The man laughed "haha" when he heard Ding Cheng's words. The laughter made Ding Cheng feel a little confused.
The man laughed and asked Ding Cheng: "Little brother, are you afraid?"
Ding Cheng asked: "What are you afraid of?"
The man said: "If I were a bandit, are you afraid?"
Ding Cheng stopped talking. He had guessed the identity of the man in front of him.
The man introduced himself: "I am Xue Wu, the government has been offering a reward for arresting! Now do you know who I am?"
Ding Cheng was illiterate and only knew that there was a picture on the reward notice. He heard that the man was a bandit leader, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. He offered a reward of 100 taels of silver, and his name was Xue Wu.
Xue Wu continued: "We are planning to rob a business tonight. Who knew that the traitor from our copycat secretly reported the secret. When we went to that business, the officers and soldiers were already waiting for us. I was stabbed to cover my brothers' evacuation, so I was stabbed and had to escape into this dilapidated temple. Thanks to the little brother's rescue, Xue escaped."
Ding Cheng was a little at a loss. At this time, Xue Wu staggered and stood up and said, "Little brother, will you stay in this dilapidated temple in the future?"
Ding Cheng nodded.
Xue Wu said, "In a few days, I will send my brothers to give you some gifts as thanks!"
Xue Wu wanted to leave as he said, but who knew that Xue Wu was stabbed in the leg and it was difficult to walk. Ding Cheng felt a little embarrassed when he saw this scene. He also cared about who the person in front of him. He only knew that since he saved him, he should help him to the end. So he walked forward and said to Xue Wu, "I'll send you back, just give me the way!"
In Xue Wu's surprised eyes, Ding Cheng carried Xue Wu on his back and walked towards the village. When it was dawn, Ding Cheng and the others also arrived at the village.
Ding Cheng came to the village and was treated as a guest of honor because he saved Xue Wu. What shocked Ding Cheng was the unity of the brothers in the village, which inspired Ding Cheng very much. At the same time, he also felt that Xue Wu was a good person because he suffered injuries to cover the evacuation of his brothers. He had been jealous over the years and suddenly felt that if he could become a member of Xue Wu's village, he would have a destination.
After a supper, Ding Cheng said to Xue Wu, "Brother Xue, I want to join the parody!"
Xue Wu was a little surprised and did not respond. The next morning, he sent someone to send 100 taels of silver to Ding Cheng, intending to send Ding Cheng down the mountain, but Ding Cheng not only didn't want the money, but he was also unwilling to go down the mountain. He said, "If I don't let me join the parody, I won't go down the mountain!"
Three days later, Xue Wu found Ding Cheng and asked, "Do you really want to join the parody?"
Ding Cheng nodded firmly and said, "Yes!"
Xue Wu said, "It's not impossible to join the parody, but you must accept the parody!"
Ding Cheng asked, "What is a parody?"
Xue Wu said, "The brothers in the parody are all hands." Those who have been stained with blood on the ground have also made contributions to the ground. If you want to join the ground, you have to dip blood on your hands! "
Ding Cheng understands that even if he wants him to kill people, he has never killed people, nor dares to kill people, and has never had the idea of killing people. However, in order to join the ground, he muster up the courage to say, "Yes!"
Xue Wu and his group looked at each other and said, "It seems that you have a great determination. We won't make things difficult for you. There is a silk merchant named Jia Da in Gai County. As long as you bring Jia Da's head, even if you take the letter of fame, you will be officially joined the ground. But this must be a deadline, and we will have to be ten days. If you don't bring Jia Da's head to see you at that time, then we have no choice!"
Ding Cheng agreed without even thinking about it, and the next day, he went down the mountain.
After going down the mountain, Ding Cheng planned to find Jia Da first, then approach Jia Da as a beggar, and finally defeat the enemy with one move, so that he can join the copycat.
After Ding Cheng made the plan, he went to the door of Jiada's silk shop every day to wait. Because he had affected the customers who came to the store, the servants in the store kept driving Ding Cheng away, but Ding Cheng just refused to leave. On the fifth day, Ding Cheng finally waited for Jiada.
Ding Cheng saw Jia Da, and quickly put the broken bowl in his hand aside, kowtowed to Jia Da a few times, and said, "Master Jia, I finally saw you. Since you left, my father has been bullied to death by thieves. Before my father died, my father asked me to come to Gai County to find Jia Da sang, saying you will definitely help me!"
Jia Da was a little confused and asked Ding Cheng, "Who is your father?"
Ding Cheng cried like a tearful person, and said, "My father, my father..." Before he finished speaking, Ding Cheng fainted.
Jia Da immediately ordered someone to take Ding Cheng in and asked a doctor to help Ding Cheng see the doctor. The doctor said, "He is hungry because he is hungry. As long as he eats enough, he will be fine!" It turned out that Ding Cheng was sympathetic from Jia Da and was hungry for five days.
After Ding Cheng woke up, he pulled Jia Da and cried when he saw Jia Da. Seeing that Ding Cheng was really pitiful, Jia Da couldn't bear to remind Ding Cheng of the pain of losing his father again, so he did not ask about his father again. At the same time, he also brought Ding Cheng with him.
Ding Cheng followed Jia Da. First, Jia Da taught him to read, assign homework to him every day, checked and guided him personally. Secondly, in order to make Ding Cheng better, Jia Da served him with chicken, duck, fish and meat every day. When he went out to discuss business, he also brought Ding Cheng with him, which made Ding Cheng forget what he was here to do.
On the tenth day, Xue Wu sent the counterfeit Liu Jin and Tang Jian to urge Ding Cheng to take action quickly. In the middle of the night, Liu Jin and Tang Jian flipped into Jia Jia, came to Ding Cheng's room, and said to Ding Cheng: "Boss asked you to do it quickly. Today is the tenth day. If you don't kill Jia Da, you can't accept the letter of fame and you can't enter the parody."
Ding Cheng and Jia Da have been together for several days and felt that although Jia Da is a businessman, he is a kind person and is sincere to him. He felt that he should not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he said, "I don't want to go into a copycat, nor do I want to kill Jia Da anymore! "
Liu Jin said: "Brother Ding, you probably don't know that there is a rule in our copycat. As long as you have been to the copycat, if you don't join the copycat, you can only die, that is, either Jia Da dies or you die! "
After hearing this, Ding Cheng thought that since this is the case, it would be difficult for me to live a life even if I kill Jia Da. What's more, I don't want to join the counterfeit village at all, so I just kept doing it and fought with them.
At this time, Tang Jian urged: "Brother Jin, what are you talking about with him? When we went down the mountain, my brother had already explained that as long as he had a strange intention, he would kill him, and then kill Jia Da and go back to work! Get started quickly! "
After hearing this, Liu Jin was about to take action. At this time, Jia Da rushed in with all the servants and wrestled with Liu Jin and Tang Jian. Liu Jin and Tang Jian's goal was very clear. Kill Jia Da first, then kill Ding Cheng. Ding became a protective Jia Da and kept protecting Jia Da. He was chopped twice by Liu Jin. Fortunately, the servants were very powerful and almost surrounded and arrested the two. Liu Jin and Tang Jian finally escaped.
After Liu Jin and Tang Jian escaped, Jia Da looked for the most A good doctor came to treat Ding Cheng, and Ding Cheng soon woke up.
It turned out that when Liu Jin and Tang Jian entered Ding Cheng's house that night, a servant had already seen it. They saw that Liu Jin and Tang Jianchang were not like good people, so they thought it was Ding Cheng's enemy who came to seek revenge, so they reported to Jia Da. Jia Da immediately brought all the servants to support him.
Jia Da looked at Ding Cheng with heartache and said, "Silly child, if it weren't for you, I would have been in a different place! "
Ding Cheng was influenced by Jia Da, so he saved Xue Wu. In order to join the counterfeit village, Xue Wu told Jia Da about the matter of killing Jia Da. After hearing this, Jia Da took a breath, and then he asked, "Then why didn't you kill me again? "
Ding Cheng said: "Because Mr. Jia, you are the one who truly cares about me. You not only teach me how to read and read, but also teach me the principles of being a human being. I used to have a beggar old man, and he also told me that I wanted to be a good person, but no one would treat me well after he died. I want a family too much! "
Jia Da thought, in fact, Ding Cheng was not wrong, but this time he almost went astray. At the same time, he also sighed that he was lucky to be kind to others and treat others sincerely, otherwise he might have really become Ding Cheng's ghost under the knife. After the incident of
, the relationship between Ding Cheng and Jia Da was not only not unfamiliar with it, but became more intimate. Jia Da continued to teach Ding Cheng to read and recognize words, and also taught him the knowledge of accounting and accounting. At the same time, Jia Da also found that Ding Cheng had a special skill, which was that his sense of taste was very sensitive. Any tea that had been in his mouth could tell the origin, name and process of making the tea without any mistake. So Ding Cheng, with the help of Jia Da, gradually started to start the tea business.
Now let’s talk about Xue Wu. After he learned that Ding Cheng did not want to join the copycat again, he kept looking for opportunities to kill Ding Cheng, because the copycat was never allowed to enter. If this If an outsider cannot join the parody, he may have a strange intention and bring danger to the parody. Originally, Xue Wu did not want to keep Ding Cheng in the parody, but seeing Ding Cheng persisted, he thought of a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and asked Ding Cheng to kill Jia Da, and then lead the officers and soldiers to arrest Ding Cheng. He happened to reap the benefits of the fisherman. However, Ding Cheng suddenly turned against him, so in order to eliminate hidden dangers, Xue Wu kept looking for opportunities except Ding Cheng.
Ding Cheng naturally knew that Xue Wu wanted To get rid of him, I thought of a way to eliminate the roots - to lead the officers and soldiers to go directly to the mountain village to suppress the bandits.
Xue Wu's mountain village is very hidden, and people who have never been there can be found. This innate terrain advantage also allows the mountain village to survive well. Even the officers and soldiers searched the mountain without finding it. Ding Cheng volunteered to take the officers and soldiers to find Xue Wu's nest, and unexpectedly took the mountain village to take it away, but there was an accident, which was that Xue Wu escaped.
Ding Cheng and Jia Da both felt that Xue Wu could no longer make any troubles, so they never worried. Jia Da continued to teach Ding Cheng to do business, while Ding Cheng studied tea and soon became the leader in tea.
I have to say that Ding Cheng is very business-minded. He started a tea business in Gai County and was doing well, but he had a greater ambition, that is, to spread his tea business all over the country. So Ding Cheng began to travel around the country, opening shops and selling tea.
Ding Cheng has regarded Jia Da as his father. Although he often does business outside, he has to go home to accompany Jia Da every few months.
This time, Ding Cheng opened tea branches in several cities in a row, but he had not been home for a year. When he returned home, he found that Jia Da had passed away.
Ding Cheng just returned home, Jia Da’s housekeeper Jia Huan came up and cried, "Young master, why did you come back? The master was killed by the thief Xue Wu. We want to write a letter to tell you, but you haven’t written a letter for a long time, and you don’t know where you are!"
Jia Da’s death gave Ding Cheng a blow, and he asked Jia Huan: "How do you know it’s Xue Wu? Kill the master? "
Jia Huan said: "It was the lady who saw it with her own eyes. At that time, the lady played hide-and-seek with us. She hid in the closet and fell asleep. When she woke up, she happened to witness all this. This scared the lady and couldn't speak anymore!"
The lady Jia Huan mentioned was Jia Mengyao, Jia Da's only daughter. She was 15 years old this year, 5 years younger than Ding Cheng. Jia Da had been intending to betroth Jia Mengyao to Ding Cheng.
Ding Cheng hurriedly went to see Jia Mengyao, and saw Jia Mengyao sitting on the bed in a daze, and even Ding Cheng called her several times without responding. Ding Cheng heard that she had to give some stimulation to recover from this disease, so Ding Cheng gritted his teeth and slapped Jia Mengyao in the face. Only then did Jia Mengyao cry out "wow". Seeing Ding Cheng, she cried in a deep voice.
Ding Cheng saw Jia Mengyao crying, and felt relieved and said, "My sister Yao, don't worry, I will never let Xue Wu get out of the way!"
Ding became the one who found Xue Wu, no longer went out to expand his business, but stayed in Gai County, pasting notices everywhere, meaning to forcing Xue Wu to appear, but Xue Wu seemed to have evaporated in the world, and had no news for two years.
With Ding Cheng's careful management, Jia Da's silk and satin business became bigger and bigger, and his tea business was getting better and better. At this time, Ding Cheng had become a wealthy businessman.
Another year passed, and Ding Cheng decided to marry Jia Mengyao. After the day was decided, Ding Chengju was preparing to hold a very grand wedding to marry Jia Mengyao. But they didn't have a high court. Even the old man who loved Ding Cheng at the beginning didn't even know the name. Unexpectedly, Ding Cheng couldn't help but feel sad.
The night before getting married, Ding Cheng went to bed very late. As soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed that Jia Da pushed open his door, stood beside him, and said to him: "Cheng'er, you will get married with Mengyao tomorrow, be careful. Xue Wu will kill you together while you are bridal chamber!" Ding Cheng wanted to ask something, but Jia Da disappeared, and Ding Cheng woke up.
The next day, Jia Mengyao and Ding Cheng said that her father asked her to dream last night and asked her to remind Ding Cheng to pay attention to Xue Wu to take revenge. Ding Cheng felt that Jia Da asked the dream to both of them, and this matter must be guarded against.
Since Xue Wu is prepared, the ordinary servant will definitely not be able to beat him, so he can only ask the government for help. Ding Cheng has had a very good relationship with the government over the years, and the government is also very polite to Ding Cheng. When everyone heard that they were asked to capture the bandit Xue Wu on the night of his wedding, everyone agreed readily. Of course, Ding Cheng would not let the officers and soldiers come in vain. Each of them gave them ten taels of silver, so everyone was full of fighting spirit and prepared to fight and capture the robbers.
All the officers and soldiers were ambushed outside Ding Cheng's door. Not long after Ding Cheng and Jia Mengyao were sent into the bridal chamber, a black figure indeed came over the wall, but the black shadow had no time to react and was captured by the officers and soldiers present.
In order to prevent Xue Wu from escaping again, the court directly sentenced Xue Wu to death and beheaded and displayed in public, which was really satisfying.
After Ding Cheng and Jia Mengyao got married, he took Jia Mengyao back to his hometown Dingjiazhuang to rebuild the grave for his parents and the beggar old man.
When Ding Cheng returned home, his uncle could not recognize him at all. When his aunt learned that he had become a wealthy businessman, her flattering face immediately showed it. But Ding Cheng didn't want to pay attention to his aunt at all.
He took out 200 silver to his uncle as a reward for his past upbringing. At the same time, he also took back his house in his hometown and built the most luxurious house in the entire village.
At this point, Ding Cheng’s story ends. I wonder what you think of Ding Cheng’s story? You can leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
was written in the end
Ding Cheng's life was bumpy, with hope and confusion, but in the end, he met the kind-hearted Jia Da, who helped him find his direction in life. Only then did his life begin to rise.
For this reason, I want to say that life is ups and downs. In the dark, we should not give up easily. We should persist for a while and firmly believe that dawn will always come! When life is bright, you should continue to cultivate your inner self like Jia Da, be modest and cautious, and be kind to others. In this way, you will not be hurt by the insult when you are in a downturn.
