Ming Dynasty During the Jiajing period, there was a remote village in the southeastern Yunnan region, and there was a family named Zhu Fushun in the village.
Zhu Fushun's family has 4 sons. The eldest son is a famous carpenter in the village. Because he really has superb woodworking skills, he has basically taken care of the carpentry work in the surrounding villages.
The second son learned a good hunting skill with the village uncles. During that poor year, he relied on his own hunting skills to not only solve the problem of food and clothing in his family, but also had some small savings at home.
The third son is the only person in the village to study in a private school. He became a scholar at the age of 15. People in the village all hope that the third son can get the top scorer as soon as possible and reduce taxes for the village for three years.
Although the fourth child is young, he is very smart. People in the village say that this child is born with blessings, and such a family is one of the few good families in the village.
But somehow recently, Zhu Fushun's family was very uneasy. First, when Zhu Fushun's eldest son was making furniture for others, he accidentally fell off the wooden cabinet. The wooden cabinet, which was originally a low-high one, broke his leg and rested at home.
The second child went to hunt in the forest and encountered a wild boar that he could only encounter in the deep mountains. In order to avoid the wild boar, he sprained his foot.
The third brother framed him for plagiarism because his classmates were jealous of his talent. The husband knew the truth but did not help him, which made him lose the opportunity to take the autumn exam.
The originally prosperous family has somehow happened recently, and it seems like they have been cast by a spell, and everything has become so unforgettable.
When Zhu Fushun was worried about the change of his family, a sloppy old beggar came to the village.
The old beggar's hair was disheveled, his clothes were dirty and torn, and his body was filled with stinking smell. He came to the village, looked east and west, and walked straight to Zhu Fushun's house.
He came to Zhu Fushun's house without knocking on the door, but went straight into the yard. When he saw Zhu Fushun's youngest son playing in the yard, he exposed his big yellow teeth and asked if he could give me a stutter?
Zhu Fushun was upset about his son's experience. He was in no mood to get food for the old beggars and wanted to say no to him. But looking at his pitiful look, he swallowed the words he refused, so he asked the fourth brother to go to the kitchen and gave the two remaining steamed buns at home to the old man to beg for the flowers.
The old beggar took the steamed bun and didn't leave. He asked the fourth brother to bring some clean water and ate the steamed bun with the clean water. After eating steamed buns, I always rub my hands and brush them. Since I have eaten your food, it will be the cause of your family.
Everything has a cause and a result. Since you planted the cause today, then I will do this result!
I saw the old beggar, and I took out a clean cloth from somewhere and wiped my dirty hands clean.
Then he closed his eyes, constantly calculating something on his hands, and soon he kept beating open his eyes and said.
Last month on the fifteenth day, you picked up a string of copper coins wrapped in red cloth on the bridge with red ropes. Think about it, after you spent those copper coins, your family became uneasy.
Zhu Fushun listened to the words of his hometown and sat thoughtfully on the stool. After a while, he said that he had indeed cut a string of copper coins written with a red rope, but I don’t know what day it was.
Is there any other way to say this? It is true that the family is uneasy after I spent the money.
always beggars and said slowly, "This is the money for the bridge god to buy the road. Let the bridge god bless him to turn bad luck and everything goes well. Usually people use this money to buy paper and buy the road for themselves. Unexpectedly, someone actually uses copper coins to buy the road, and this money is picked up by you and spent it."
Since you spend other people's money on buying the road, the hardships that others should suffer will fall on you. Fortunately, because you have many children, the children share the suffering for you evenly.
After hearing this, Zhu Fushun regretted it and knelt on the ground and begged him to give him a solution. When the old beggar saw that he was a kind person, he didn't make things difficult for him and immediately helped him up.
told him to buy some burning paper in double the amount he picked up. When there was no one at night, he went to the place where he picked up the money and kowtowed sincerely to admit his mistake.
Zhu Fushun did as the old beggar said. Not long after, the eldest and second brother's injuries were healed. The third brother's private school secretly investigated secretly and finally found out the evidence that they framed the third brother, and the third brother was innocent. The third brother participated in the autumn examination that year.
Xiangzi wanted to say that Zhu Fushun picked up other people's money to buy a road, which caused constant troubles in his family. Later, because he couldn't bear to refuse the clever old beggar, he asked his youngest son to get some food for the old beggar when he was in a state of anxiety.
Unexpectedly, Lao Beihua was a master. In order to repay Zhu Fushun's grace, he calculated the cause of the disaster for his family and told him the solution.
It is better to say that it was his kindness who helped him. After this incident, we believe that Zhu Fushun will never pick up money on the road again.
This story comes from "Rural Story" meaning to persuade people to be kind, and has nothing to do with feudal superstition.
