The ancients had clouds: water can carry boats, but also can overturn boats. Many things in the world have pros and cons, the key lies in how we use them, and only by always maintaining our sanity can we maximize the role of the things we use, so as to avoid its harmful side. During the Jin Dynasty, there was a woodcutter who saved an old beggar when he stayed in a deserted house overnight, and the old beggar gave him his two daughters.
It is said that there was a young cargo man in Jinling, named Chen Changzai, who had both lost his parents since childhood and grew up eating hundreds of meals. At the age of sixteen, Chen Chang became a freight man with the elders in the village, but he did not know anything about the way of doing business, and was often bullied by those old fritters, and he could not earn a dime.
One evening, Chen Chang was carrying a burden and preparing to go home, but he had just reached the halfway point when the sky began to rain heavily. Chen Chang was braving the rain to hurry, but fortunately there was a deserted house not far in front of him, and he immediately drilled into it.
As the rain grew heavier and heavier, the whole world became foggy, and Chen Chang started a fire and found a lot of hay to spend the night here. Suddenly, a faint cry for help came from outside the deserted house, and Chen Chang walked to the door and found that there seemed to be a person lying on his stomach under a willow tree not far away.
Without much time to think about it, Chen Chang immediately ran over and carried the man into the deserted mansion. The man was an elderly old beggar, with white hair, a slender figure, and his whole body was soaked. Chen Chang put it by the fire and draped his clothes on the old beggar's body.
After a while, the old beggar finally regained consciousness, and he slowly held out his hand and cried out hungry vigorously. Chen Chang saw the situation and immediately took out his own dry food from his own goods and handed it over. The old beggar took the food, at once feasted on it, and in a few moments he ate his bag of dry food.
After eating enough, the old beggar finally got up, and he struggled to get up and knelt in front of Chen Chang: "Thank you for the help of the benefactor, otherwise the old man may die here today!" ”
Chen Chang said with a smile: "Raise your hand, what foot to hang your teeth, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, when you go out, who has not encountered difficult things!" ”
Then the two chatted. Probably in the face of strangers, coupled with the old beggar's kindness, Chen Chang said a few more words, and said all the grievances he had suffered in the past few years, and he actually shed tears.
The old beggar saw the situation and hurried forward to comfort him, and the two unconsciously chatted all night, and the rain outside also stopped. At dawn, the old beggar patted Chen Changzai's shoulder: "Young man, don't be so pessimistic, you have a good heart, there will be good rewards, so let's give your two daughters to you, and I can also repay your life-saving grace!" ”
Chen Chang even waved his hand to refuse after listening, it was difficult to support himself, if the old beggar really gave his daughter to himself, I am afraid that he would only be hungry, in addition, Chen Changzai did not believe that this ragged old beggar would be such a virtuous daughter.
But the old beggar identified him as a son-in-law and said that in a few days, he would let his daughter visit. Without saying a word, he got up and left the deserted house, Chen Chang got up and wanted to chase, but as soon as he walked to the door, the old beggar disappeared. He muttered, "It's really fast!" He then picked up the goods and returned home.
Three days later, two women came to visit, claiming that they were the daughters of the old beggar, and that they had come to chen Changzai this time. What Chen Chang did not expect was that the two daughters of the old beggar were actually two peerless beauties, one mature and stable, one lively and lovely, and any one taken out could attract the attention of the men in the village.
Chen Chang has been single for many years, for a while he did not know what to say, but since the two came, they could not always turn it away, Chen Chang invited the two into the house, originally wanted to make room for the two sisters, how did the two of them kneel directly in front of him, in unison: "Today I entered your home, it is your people, but also hope that the prince will treat each other with courtesy, do not live up to daddy's kindness!" ”
Chen Changzai was a little overwhelmed, and lian lian nodded his head and said yes, while the two sisters skillfully closed the door and closed the window, and helped Chen Changzai to the bedside. In this way, the three of them performed the ritual of Zhou Gong and lived together.
What Chen Chang did not expect was that these two sisters were very smart and proficient in the way of business, and with the advice of the two of them, Chen Chang had made unprecedented money in years of loss-making business, and even earned more and more. Chen Chang realized at this time that he had picked up the treasure.
With the help of the two sisters, Chen Chang immediately invested in the shop after earning money, started a stable business, and the money also went into the account like a stream, in less than a year, he made a lot of money and became one of the largest households in the local area, after earning money, he immediately married the two sisters in the eight caravans and gave them the deserved fame.
However, after Chen Chang became a rich man, the temptations he faced also increased, and many ill-intentioned people often invited Chen Chang to do all the business that came to make money quickly. Chen Chang did not agree at first, but when he saw the huge profits of these industries, he was still moved. However, he went home at the first time to ask the opinions of the two women, but the two women said that they were only responsible for giving him advice and advice, and could not make decisions for him.
Chen Chang hesitated again and again, but still went astray. With the help of the two women, he began to do illegal things, and just as he was having a good time, the old beggar reappeared.
This night, Chen Chang just went to sleep, he dreamed of the old beggar, so many years, his appearance has not changed, after seeing Chen Changzai, he broke out and scolded: "You, you, a good right path does not go, you have to take a crooked road, I gave you two daughters, I hope that after you earn money, you can remember the bittersweet and help the poor people, since you can't do it, your fate with my daughters is also exhausted, and today I will take them away." ”
Without saying a word, Chen Changzai's two ladies came to the old beggar's side, and finally the three of them transformed into three big blue pythons and disappeared into Chen Changzai's dream.
Chen Chang woke up from the dream, and the two wives beside him were indeed gone. After his wife left, there was no one to advise him, and his family's business soon fell, in addition, the East Window Incident, all the assets of his family were seized, and he was imprisoned for three years before he was released from prison.
Chen Chang finally realized his mistake at this moment, and just when he was cornered, three blue pythons appeared beside him, it was his two ladies and the old beggar. The old beggar did not say much, sent his daughter to his side, and left.
Soon, Chen Chang made a comeback in the mountains, but this time he was determined, no longer took the crooked and evil road, after earning money, he paved the way for his hometown to build bridges, did a lot of practical things, and became a great benevolent person. The two ladies stayed with him until they died.
