During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a rich woman in Hangzhou, Di Shi, who was beautiful and moving since childhood, and her fame moved inside and outside the capital, which attracted the covetousness of the prince and grandson.
After the Di clan became an adult, he married the brother of the family clan, Brother Moujia, a certain family was prominent, and he did not look bad, and he could be regarded as a charming figure in the pile of grandfathers, and the little couple became the envy of people.
Di's temperament is virtuous, even if it is a family party, she never competes, steals the limelight of others, behaves demurely, is quiet and moderate, and has a ladylike style.
Because of this, Di's temperament will be more different from ordinary people.
Even the jealous women who usually like to fight often scold each other, saying: "If you don't have Di's posture, you don't want to fight with the old woman!" ”

There was a scholar in Hangzhou City surnamed Teng, who once met Di Shi when he was on a trip, and when he saw Di Shi for the first time, the whole person's soul was taken away.
Since then, he has lost his soul and lost his soul, been depressed all day, suffered from lovesickness, and his mind is full of Di Shi.
He had been thinking about it for a long time, and instead of thinking about it at home, he should take some practical action.
So Teng Sheng walked around the city all day, asking people for information about Di Shi.
Finally, one day, he got a very important clue - Di Shi and a nun in a nun in a nun, Hui Cheng, had a close relationship, and the two often practiced female red skills together.
Hungry dogs meet meat bones.
Teng Sheng hurriedly prepared gifts and sent them to the nunnery to visit Hui Cheng for several days.
One day, Master Hui Cheng was too concerned about the affection of the generous gift, and asked Teng Sheng: "The so-called non-meritorious and non-lu, young man, you must have something to ask for, right?" ”
Teng Sheng said, "It's not a secret, Xiaosheng knows what he can't do, but he hopes to have a chance of one in ten thousand, otherwise, it's better to die!" ”
Hui Chengshi smiled slightly, "Young man, don't talk about life and death lightly!" You say it, poor ni listen! ”
Teng Sheng then said his wish to be bitter but in love.
Hui Chengshi said, "This is too difficult! Although Madame looks like a Peugeot, she is not a watery person. ”
Hui Chengshitai said many reasons in succession, believing that the two had no fate.
Teng Sheng did not die: "Doesn't she have any preferences and needs?" ”
Hui Chengshi said with a cold face, "No! ”
Teng Sheng was like a frosted eggplant, and he really wanted to lie flat and count the balls for the rest of his life.
Hui Chengshi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Teng Sheng, "Yes! pregnant! Half a month ago, Di Shi had asked me to find some pearls for her, saying that it was urgent. ”
Teng Sheng was overjoyed: "Hello, Grandma, why did you remember?" That's all right! ”
Then he hurried to find a horse and galloped away.
Not long after, Teng Sheng returned, took out two large bags of pearls from his arms, handed them to Hui Chengshitai, and said, "These pearls are worth twenty thousand taels ('缗' is the rope of strings of money, every thousand words), and I am willing to sell them to Di Shi for ten thousand taels." ”
Hui Cheng said, "Di's husband is not at home, and she may not be able to scrape together enough money for a while and a half!" ”
Teng Sheng hurriedly said, "Is there four or five thousand taels of money?" Otherwise a thousand taels can be done, or hundreds of taels will do. ”
Teng Sheng saw that the master was too smiling and silent.
Teng Sheng was anxious and said, "If this matter is done, don't make any money!" ”
"Since I have this pearl, I have my own way to get her to meet with you, and then it depends on whether you have created it yourself, but it is not my business."

Hui Cheng smiled and carried two bags of pearls to meet Di Shi.
Di Shi saw that the pearls were very good and loved them. After playing with it for a while, I asked for the price.
Hui Chengshi said, ten thousand taels.
Di Shi was a little anxious: "According to this appearance, ten thousand taels is really cheap, but the old man is not at home, and I can't make up enough money for a while. ”
Hui Cheng asked Di Shi to retire from the left and right attendants.
Only two people remained.
But in front of Di's face, it is not easy to say directly, what is the purpose of sending you two bags of pearls.
Hui Cheng cleverly said, "I don't need a penny, there is a scholar who wants to ask your old master to do something." ”
Dicksy: "What's the matter?" ”
Hui Cheng: "Teng Mou lost his official, he wants to reinstate the official, this matter, Madame's brother can help." ”
Di Shi thought for a moment, "This pearl, The Troublesome Master brought it back first, let me think about it..."
Hui Cheng said: "Teng Mou is very anxious about this matter, if he goes to find someone else to do it, Madame will lose touch with these pearls, let's stay first, and tomorrow Poor Ni will come back to listen to Madame's reply." ”
Hui Cheng got up and left, telling Teng Sheng one by one.
Teng Sheng saw that there was still hope, and he couldn't help but be a little excited, and sent ten silver to Hui Cheng.
Di Shi looked at these two bags of pearls, the more he looked at them, the more he liked them, and thought to himself, This matter of Teng Mou is not difficult for his brothers.
The next day, Hui Cheng came to Di's house, and Di Said, "I thought about it carefully and decided to help Teng Mou do this." ”
Hui Cheng said, "But there is a matter, people have handed over pearls worth twenty thousand taels to my bald old woman's hands, you still have to meet, otherwise how can the seller be assured?" ”
Di Shi nodded, it is this reason.
But men and women who did not know each other in ancient times were not allowed to meet in private.
Di Shi was embarrassed, sighed and said, "What to do?" ”
Hui Cheng moved her eyes: "Madame can set up a feast in the courtyard to invite monks and nuns, and I ask him to pretend to be a chance encounter." ”
Di Shi suddenly blushed, shook his head, and said, "That's not okay!" ”
Hui Cheng pretended to be angry, and tiger said with a face: "The old lady has no other meaning, that is, she wants him to explain to his face what he wants to do, so that there is no suspicion between you." If not, the old lady is not reluctant, you love it! ”
Di Shi thought for a while and said slowly, "In two days, on the day of my brother's death, I will go to the nunnery to sacrifice, and when the time comes, I will find a chance to meet him, explain the situation, and then quickly send him away." ”
Hui Cheng turned from anger to joy: "That's right! ”
Teng Sheng raised an eyebrow when he learned of this, and praised Hui Cheng: "Zhang Yi and Su Qin in ancient times were not as good as your old man's home!" ”

On the appointed day, Hui Cheng quietly hid Teng Sheng in a hut, prepared fine wine and delicacies, and waited for Di Shi.
In the evening, when the Di clan worship was over, he retreated to his entourage, taking only a small maid, and found Hui Cheng: "Is the person coming?" ”
"Here it comes!"
Hui Cheng found a little boy to play with the little maid, and then took Di Shi around a few dark passages and entered the hut.
Hui Cheng opened the curtain, and Di Shi saw Teng Sheng sitting at the dining table, a little panicked, and turned to leave.
Teng Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to give the gift, and Di Shi replied shyly.
Seeing that Teng Sheng was tall and talented, Di Shi actually softened himself first.
After all, when he was young and the honeymoon period had not yet passed, his husband went to the north for business and was not at home for many years.
Di Shi was half ashamed and half happy, bowed his head and murmured, "What's the matter with the officials?" ”
Hui Cheng tugged at Di Shi's sleeve and sat down in a chair.
Teng Sheng smiled and took a glass of wine, and Di Shi was not good at resigning, so he drank it.
Seeing that the good drama was facilitated, Hui Cheng closed the door with a bad smile and quietly left.
Di Shi also did not eat vegetables, and after a while, she was drunk, and at this moment her face was rosy and more charming.
When Di Shi got up to take the initiative to toast, Teng Sheng realized that the fire was just right, so he hugged Di Shi...
Di Shi dodged gently.
Five hundred and twenty-one words are omitted here.
...
The two had the intention of seeing each other and hating each other late, and they had to say goodbye in the middle of the night.
Di Shi lingered in the room for a long time, could not bear to leave, and frequently looked back at Gu Pan.
Just as Hui Cheng opened the door and came in, Di Shi was ashamed.
Hui Cheng said, "Lady, don't blame! For the sake of his wife's death, this official set up this method to save his life and create a seven-level floating map. ”
Di Shi said, "... After this year, as long as he is sent to my house night and night, this matter will be over. ”
Hui Cheng said, "This deserves it." ”
The night was gone.

As the saying goes, good flowers don't bloom often, and good times don't always bloom.
A few months later, the husband of the Green Hat Godich returned home and did not express his appearance for the time being.
Di Shi vividly expressed his true feelings for Teng, obsessively waiting for the promise of his sweetheart, taking her to the end of the world a day earlier, and from then on, he was gracious and loving, and kept it for a lifetime.
However, Teng Sheng's goods are really shameless.
After several months of adultery with Di Shi, Teng Sheng felt that it was not worth the twenty thousand taels of money he had put in, so he sent servants to break into Di's house while di's husband was meeting guests, and said in public: "A certain official once sold pearls worth twenty thousand taels to your government, but he has not yet received money, and he is going to the official palace to report it!" ”
Di's husband was stunned, so he went to the inner room to ask his wife.
When Di Shi heard this, he was momentarily gagged and said for a long time, "There is such a thing!" ”
Her husband urged her to take it out and return it to the servant.
Teng Sheng wanted to return the pearl, and asked Hui Cheng to send a message to Di Shi: "I was also forced to borrow money from relatives and friends to buy pearls, just to move you." ”
Although Di Shi was angry, he could not give up his love for Teng Sheng.
Soon, Brother Green Hat went out as an emissary of the imperial court.
Di Continued to socialize privately with Teng Sheng.
After several years, Di's husband finally heard about it, and in a fit of anger, he kept Di's strict care.
Di Shi, who was like a secluded person, fell ill because he missed Teng Sheng all day long, and soon died of depression.
As soon as people have desires, they will be spied on by others, and they will easily fall into traps.
When Di Shi saw the beads, he bought them if he had money, and if he had no money, he would stop there, and he would not fall into someone else's machine.
Originally a good lady, although she was emotional, she had no seriousness.
