Yu Shenxing, a scholar during the Ming Dynasty, taught two crown princes, and was very prestigious in the dynasty at that time. He had a Miss Qianjin who was married to a large family surnamed Zhou in a village near Anshan in Liangshan County. After passing through the door, the in-laws saw that the dowry sent by her mother's family was too small, and did not give her a good look.
Yu Shenxing was very angry after hearing about this incident, and felt that his face was dull for such a snobbish eye as the Zhou family. One day, Yu Shenxing personally went to the Zhou family to see his daughter. The Zhou family saw that the family had come in person, and in order to show the wealth of the family, they specially made a rich banquet to entertain him. After eating and chatting, Yu Shenxing said straight to the point: "Although my family is a famous family, my family is poor, and the little girl does not have much dowry when she gets married. However, the dowry has few uses. Yu Shenxing asked his daughter to take out an eighty percent new jacket. The Zhou family thought to themselves: What is so rare about this jacket? Yu Shenxing put the jacket on the stove and burned it, but he couldn't burn it.
Everyone present was amazed, Yu Shenxing did not tear open the skin of the jacket, the sandwich was full of pearl agate, gold and silver jewelry, a moment of golden brilliance, full of brilliance. The Zhou family had never seen these treasures, and they all looked at them with wide eyes and small eyes. Yu Shenxing said: "I am an official Qingzheng, and these are all treasures that the emperor has given many times. The old man prefers the little girl, and all of them will marry you. I don't know that my family loves money, but I love my little girl too much. Shame, shame. When the Zhou family heard this, they rushed to accompany their relatives.
Since then, the Zhou family no longer dared to look down on their daughter-in-law.
