During the Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Zhang Liang in Chengdu. Zhang Liang is handsome and full of economics. Although the family is poor, he also married the beautiful and virtuous wife Liu. After getting married, Zhang Liang went even harder to study, and encouraged his family to have a good life.
Seeing that the day of scientific expedition is approaching, Liu will prepare his bags for him early and let him set off as soon as possible. Therefore, Zhang Liang said goodbye to his parents that day, took a pack of silver from Liu's hand, took the only donkey in the family, and embarked on the road to Lin'an for scientific research. Unexpectedly, when Zhang Liang was halfway there, Zhang Liang was unfortunately caught in the cold and had to find a place to stay first and seek medical treatment.
Soon, Zhang Liang's silver was spent, but fortunately, the illness finally healed. But now the travel expenses are gone. He has to sell the donkey and collect some travel expenses before he can barely get on the road. When I finally arrived in Lin'an, Zhang Liang found a store to live in. The owner was a widow named Zhang Po, who was in her fifties and she was kind-hearted.
Po Zhang took great care of Zhang Liang and asked him to study without worrying about other things. Soon, the day of the scientific examination is approaching, and Zhang Liangzhi is sure to get it and go to take the examination. A few days later, after the list was released, Zhang Liang found that he had lost his name to Sun Shan, and he was suddenly devastated.
From then on, Zhang Liang was drunk all day long, never read or went out. Soon the few taels of silver in his hand were ruined by him. Although Po Zhang took great care of Zhang Liang, she was very anxious to see him now, but it was useless to persuade him. And now Zhang Liang can’t even pay the rent. Every time Po Zhang talks about it, Zhang Liang says: "You old lady, you look down on people. You can raise me. When I get a fame in the coming year, you will have money. "Yes." Zhang Po was angry and anxious when she saw this, but she had no choice but to let him go.
this day,When Zhang Liang saw the talents in the store gathered together for a drink, he went forward to beg for a few drinks. The scholars are used to seeing him, so they can pity him and pour him wine. Everyone was drinking in their spirits when suddenly a fortune-teller came to the store. Everyone is busy asking the fortune teller to show his future career. Unexpectedly, the fortune-teller didn’t pick up, and he walked directly to Zhang Liang and said, “Oh! The sky is full, you are rich and rich! I dare say that you will be rich and rich within three days! Hurry up and reward the small ones first. Money! Let me be drunk by your nobility."
Zhang Liang listened and gave a smashing fortune teller: "I am a poor drunkard who eats and drinks all day, and has no money. Wen, where can I get the money for you? You are really not allowed this time for fortune-telling!" Zhang Liang also lost his interest, so he went back to the room and went to sleep. After hearing the words of the fortune teller, everyone felt that they were not allowed. How could a poor drunkard who lost his name in Sunshan become rich in three days? It's idiotic to talk about dreams!
Besides, Zhang Liang just fell asleep, and Zhang Po came to urge him to pay the rent again. Zhang Liang had just been ridiculed by a fortune-teller, feeling uncomfortable, and being drunk, he quarreled with Zhang Po. Po Zhang was so angry that she told him to get out of this room tomorrow. Zhang Liang did not suffer from the loss of his mouth, and shouted: "Whoever does not leave, who is the grandson."
The next day, Zhang Liang woke up from wine, thinking of yelling with Zhang Po yesterday, and thinking about it. Zhang Po always takes good care of herself and regrets it very much. So he brought a little gift to apologize to Po Zhang. Seeing his sincere attitude, Po Zhang didn't care too much. Thinking that he had fallen off the list, it would not be easy for him to be alone, so he gave him dozens of money so that he could go home as soon as possible and wait for the next year's scientific examination.
Zhang Liang packed his luggage, but Zhang Po gave him dozens of dollars and couldn't get home at all. Besides, how can you tell Liu even when you return home? So he took dozens of money to go to a famous restaurant in Lin'an, sat in the elegant room near the West Lake, ordered a table of good wine and food, and ate from morning until evening. People are drunk and satiated,Thinking of my own experiences these days, I couldn't help feeling sighed, so I called the shopkeeper, brought paper and pen, and planned to write a poem.
But if you write it, where will it be in the future? It would be better to write the poem on the wall, maybe it can be passed down through the ages. So, taking advantage of his drunkenness, he wrote "The Magpie Bridge Immortal" on the snow-white wall with a big stroke, full of emotions, and finished in one go. After looking at it, I was very satisfied, so I wrote my name in the lower right corner again. After that, he opened the window and wanted to jump down, but worried that he would not die, so he took off his belt and wanted to hang himself.
He hung his belt on the beam of the room, and just reached in his head, it happened that Xiao Er came in and hurriedly dragged him off. Xiao Er wailed to him: "Master, let's open the door to do business, but we can't make a lot of money. If you want to die, don't go to the small shop anymore!" There were a lot of people eating in the store, and I heard Xiao Er All the voices rushed to see what happened. Upon seeing this, Zhang Liang turned to leave.
Xiaoer stepped up to him and stopped him: "Master, please settle your meal first." Zhang Liang said grimly, "I don't want any money, but I'm going to kill him." To jump out of the window, the shop Xiaoer couldn't help but hugged his thigh and said that he would not ask for food anymore. The people in the store were afraid that he would do stupid things again, so they sent him back to Po Zhang. When Po Zhang saw him, it was really useless to curse him.
That night, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou dreamed of the radiance of the West Lake. He found it very magical, so he asked the dreamer and replied that there are talents in governing the country by the West Lake. So Zhao Gou dressed up and traveled in plain clothes. He also came to the hotel by the West Lake and found a private room by the window. Just as he was about to enter, the shop Xiaoer suddenly came over and said, "Master, this room is not allowed! "This confuses Zhao Gou. Therefore, Xiaoer Dian told Zhang Liang's affairs.
Zhao Gou listened, laughed, and said: "Students are not afraid of strange things, it's okay." So he entered the room. He saw the "Magpie Bridge Immortal" on the wall and was amazed. It turns out that there are talents for governing the country by the West Lake.
So after Zhao Go returned to the palace, he sent someone to look for Zhang Liang. After Zhang Liang was scolded by Po Zhang that day, he changed his previous mistakes and returned to his hometown. Zhao Gou sent Qingqi to follow closely, and he found Zhang Liang on the road. Zhao Gou deliberately tried Zhang Liang's literary talents and asked Zhang Liang to write a poem based on Zhao Gou. Zhang Liang thought about it for a while, and wrote "The Order of Crossing the Dragon Gate", which Zhao Gou greatly admired.
After that, Zhang Liang showed his grand plans and was named the prefect, and he was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. Zhang Liang respectfully thanked Po Zhang and gave a hundred gold, then went home to pick up Liu and his mother, and then went to work.
Later, Zhang Liang had been requesting orders for the people, benefiting the people of one party, and persuading Zhao Gou to change the imperial examination system: the scholars passed the township examinations, so they went directly to the palace examinations to avoid missed talents.
The story is adapted from " three words and two beats "
As the saying goes, gold always shines. It is a pity that Zhang Liang was full of economics and learned to be rich in five cars. Fortunately, Po Yi Zhang directly helped him and persuaded him, so that he had the opportunity to write "The Magpie Bridge Immortal" on the white wall of the hotel for Zhao Go to appreciate.
After Zhang Liang got the fame,I also know the good news, go to thank Po Zhang, and give a hundred taels of gold. Thanks to Zhang Liang's failure to find his death at the time, he had a glorious future and a great future.
Therefore, in many cases, even if you have difficulties or frustrations, do not belittle your life. Because everything is the greatest alive, and only if you are alive will there be thousands of vitality and infinite possibilities.
