Bring enough money to Beijing for the exam
Changzhou Thorn Shi Xiong Yang chang, has a son, named Xiong Fu. At the age of twenty, he was beautiful and literate, and was deeply admired by his peers.
Mr. and Mrs. Xiong gong loved this son very much. In this year, Xiong Fu was sponsored by the prefecture to enter Beijing to take the exam of Xiucaike.
On this day, it is the late spring march in Jiangnan, the warblers fly grass long, and the willows fly.
On the way out, Xiong Gong bought his son plenty of replacement clothes, utensils, carriages and horses, and living expenses after arriving in the capital. Before leaving the door, he said to his son: "I see that with your talent, you can go to high school as soon as you take the exam." I've prepared two years for you, and it's more than enough, which will help you achieve your ambitions.
This Xiong Fu was also very conceited, and it was so easy to take the exam to get a meritorious name.
Farewell to your parents and head northwest. After departing from Changzhou, xiong fu finally arrived in the capital chang'an and lived in Buzhengli.
One day, Xiong Fu returned from a tour of Dongshi and entered from the east gate of Pingkangli where Ge Ji lived, preparing to go to the southwest of Pingkangli to visit a Runzhou examinee. Walking to Mingke Lane, I saw a house, the doorway is not very luxurious, but you can see the house inside, strict and deep, and a few clusters of wide banana leaves protrude out of the wall.
The door of the house was half open and half closed, and there was a young woman, leaning against a bundling mane standing at the head of the door.
Xiong Fu saw that the woman was charming and charming, and her appearance was very moving, so that Xiong Fu's heart suddenly had a feeling of seeing each other and hating the night.
Xiong Fu rode on a horse, wandering there reluctant to leave. He maneuvered, pretended to have lost his hand, and dropped the horse whip on the ground. He asked the servants to help him pick it up.
Xiong Fu's gaze did not leave the woman at the door. The woman also looked at him with both eyes, showing a look of admiration. But Xiong Fu couldn't muster up the courage to go forward and talk to the woman. Hesitant to leave.
Be bold enough to visit your home
Since then, Xiong Fu seemed to have lost his soul, and had been thinking about the woman in Pingkang.
He secretly inquired from a friend who was familiar with the situation in Chang'an City, and the friend told him, "That's a house surnamed Li Geji." "
"Can the woman get acquainted?" ″
"The Li family is very rich, and the people who come and go with her are aristocrats and magnates. I'm afraid that without millions of dollars, it is difficult to touch her heart. "
"Even if you spend millions of dollars, what's the harm?" I'm afraid things won't work out. ″
After a few days, Xiong Fu changed into neat clothes, summoned a few friends to help, and came to Li's house. After opening the door, he saw a yahuan coming to greet him, and he deliberately asked, "Which one's house is this?" ″
When Yahuan saw Xiong Fu, he didn't say anything back, but just ran inside quickly, shouting as he ran: "The minister who dropped the horse whip last time is coming!" ″
Then, another ring came out and led Xiong Fu and a few of them into the inner hall. In front of the screen in the inner hall sat an old woman with white hair and a hunchback. Xiong Fu stepped forward to bow down to her and said, "I heard that this gold has an empty yard, and I want to rent it to live in, can I?" ″
"Dare to ask who the prince is, and what kind of livelihood is he doing in chang'an?" ″
"Yu Mother, Xiaosheng Changzhou people's clan, surname Xiong, single name a rich word." At the behest of his parents, he came to Kyoto to take the exam of the Hidenaka Section. "
"I am afraid that the yard is dilapidated and narrow, and I dare not honor and tolerate comings and goings, so how dare I say what rent I want?" ″
The old woman said, let Xiong Fu and the others sit down, and ordered YaHuan to serve tea. Then he said, "The old man has a daughter named Li Wa, who is petite and has poor dancing skills, but she likes to meet guests; I hope you will meet her and get familiar with her."
After saying that, he summoned the woman named Li Wa to come out.
Li Wa's every move looked enchanting and delicate, and after Xiong Fu stood up to meet her, he shyly bowed his head and said some greetings and social words, and his eyes never dared to face her.
Xiong Fu felt that the woman in front of him was charming and moving, which he had never seen before.
They sat down again, poured tea and wine, and said a few words, like a thousand words.
At this time, the evening drum sounded all around, and the sky had darkened. The old woman asked Xiong Fu where he lived, and Xiong Fu lied to her: "It's a few miles outside the Yanping Gate." "
"The evening drum has been beaten, it's time to go back quickly, don't break the curfew." ″
"I have the privilege of knowing you, and the way back is far, what should I do?" ″
Li Wa said from the side: "If the prince does not think that this place is remote and simple, and he has come to rent a house, why not borrow here for one night?" ″
Xiong Fuche looked at Li Wa's mother, and the old woman smiled and said, "Okay, well, just spend the night here!"
Xiong Fu heard this, and his heart was happy, so he summoned the servants and sent them two thin silks, which they please used to prepare a dinner. He then asked the scribe to go back with a few friends.
Li Wa smiled and said, "According to the etiquette of the guests and hosts, tonight's expenses will be borne by my family." If you want to be a guest, wait until later. ″
Xiong Fu repeatedly resigned, and Li Wa just wouldn't accept it.
Wipe out all your belongings
When it was all dark. Mother Li asked Xiong Fu to move to the West Hall to sit. The tabernacles, bamboo curtains, and beds there are dazzling. A few large red candles illuminated the house like daylight.
Dinner was sumptuous. After the meal, Mother Li got up and left.
After the old woman left, Xiong Fu and Li Wa's conversation began to become intimate; laughing and joking, and talking no longer cared about anything.
The bear said to Li Wa with affection: "Last time I occasionally passed by your door, I saw you standing at the head of the door, leaning against a ring. From that point on, my heart always thought of you, even when I ate and slept, I could let you go for a moment. ″
Li Wa then said, "The same is true in my heart, I have always wanted to see you again." ″
Xiong Fu boldly said: "I came today, not only to rent a house, but also to realize my wishes in life, but I don't know if I can achieve it?" ″
Before Xiong Fu could finish speaking, Mother Li walked in and asked what they were talking about.
Xiong Fu did not want to hide it, and told Mother Li all what he said.
The old woman laughed and said, "Young men and women, the desire for sex naturally occurs." If the two are in love, even the parents will stop it, and they will not be able to stop it. Bear boy, it's just that my daughter looks ugly, where is the prince you? ″
Xiong Fu immediately walked down the steps, thanked the old woman, and said, "I would rather be your son-in-law." ″
The old woman lifted up Xiong Fu and said, "Thank you, thank you!" The old woman suffered. ″
The next day, Xiong Fu moved all his luggage to Li's house and stayed at Li's house.
Since then, Xiong Fu has disappeared and hidden, cutting off all contact with the outside world. Mix with the likes of The Goji drama every day, eating, drinking and having fun.
After using up the cost of his father for two years, Xiong Fu sold the horse and sold the servants again.
After living in the Li family for more than a year, Xiong Fu wiped out his money, slaves, and horses. Even eating depends on the Li family for help. In this way, Mother Li's attitude gradually changed to cold. However, the feelings with Li Wa deepened.
It turned out to be a scam
One day, Li Wa said to Xiong Fu: "I have been with you for a while, how can I not get pregnant?" I often hear people say that there is a bamboo forest god who is very knowledgeable about this matter, so let's prepare some sprinkles and go and pray, okay? "
Xiong Fu was naturally happy, so he went to the pawnshop, took a good dress he was wearing, took the money to buy three animals and wine, and went to a temple with his wife Li Wa to pray, and stayed in the temple for two nights before returning.
Xiong Fu rode a donkey behind Li Wa's car and arrived at the north gate of Pingkangli, where Li Wa said to Xiong Fu, "The alley that turns east from here is my aunt's house." We might as well take a break and visit her old man's house by the way. ″
Xiong Fu followed his wife's words and followed her forward for a hundred steps, and sure enough, he saw a mansion, which looked inward from the crack in the door, and it was very spacious inside.
Yahuan came forward and knocked on the door, and a man asked in a loud voice, "Who is it?" "
Ya Huan replied, "Li Wa." ″
After a while, an old woman opened the door and came out and asked Xiong Fu, "My niece is coming?!" "
Li Wa answered and got out of the carriage. The old woman stepped forward and said, "Why haven't you come to see me for so long?" ″
As they spoke, the two looked at each other and laughed, looking a little strange.
Li Wa led Xiong Fu to meet her aunt, and then walked into the courtyard of the west gate together. Inside there are rockery pavilions, lush bamboo trees, and ponds with clear fish swimming.
Xiong Fu asked Li Wa, "Is this my aunt's own house?"
Li Wa smiled and did not reply, using other words to diverge.
Enter the living room and offer precious and exotic refreshments and fruits.
After a meal, suddenly a man on a fast horse, sweating profusely, ran in and said to Li Wa, "My mother suddenly fell ill, very serious." Almost no one can recognize it, so go back! "
Li Wa heard this and said to her aunt, "I'll ride back on horseback first, and then let the horse come back, and you'll come with Lang Jun."
Xiong Fu wanted to go back with Li Wa, saw his aunt and a girl whispering, waved his hand at him, and told him to wait outside the door. He said, "Old mother, I'm afraid it won't work." You should come with me to help her, why are you in a hurry to go with her? ″
Xiong Fu had to stay and plan the funeral expenses with his aunt.
It was getting late, and the horse Li Wa had ridden had not yet returned. The aunt said, "Why hasn't I heard back yet, what's the matter?" The boy went to see it, and I'll be there later. ″
Xiong Fu also remembered Li Wa, hurriedly said goodbye to his aunt, and left.
Arrived at the Li family in Pingxu Kangli. I saw that the gate was closed tightly and sealed with mud.
Xiong Fu saw the situation and asked the neighbor in surprise, but the neighbor said: "The Li family originally rented a house here to live." The lease period has arrived and the homeowner has taken the house back. Mother Li moved away for two days. "
Xiong Fu did not believe the neighbor's words and asked, "Where did you move?" "
I heard from my neighbors that I didn't know where to move. Xiong Fu's head was a little dizzy, what was going on?
Xiong Fu wanted to rush to the north gate of Pingkangli, Li Wa's aunt's house, seeing that it was late, calculating the distance, and may not be able to arrive before the curfew. In desperation, he had to take off his clothes, change to dinner, and rent a bed to sleep.
Xiong Fu was very angry, and after not closing his eyes all night, at dawn, he rushed to his aunt's house, knocked on the door again and again, and no one agreed.
After a long time, a man who looked like a palace came out of the house. Xiong Fu saw it and rushed forward to ask, "Is your aunt here?" ″
"What aunt?" No such person! ″
"Yesterday evening was still here, how could there be no such person?!" "
"This is Cui Shangshu's mansion. Yesterday, someone rented this yard and said that they were waiting for their cousins who came from afar. Left before dark. ″
When Xiong Fu heard this, he was so frightened that he was about to go crazy, he didn't know how to be good, there was really no way, he had to go back to the old mansion in Buzhengli.
Through life and death, meet family
The owner of the house saw that Xiong Fu was alone, and he was very sympathetic to him and gave him free food.
Endless resentment, resentment, Xiong Fu could not eat for two or three days. Lying in bed, I couldn't stand it; I thought to myself that I was all focused on the bright moon, and I didn't know that the moon was going to the ditch. He actually let himself fall into the double yellow deception, hateful, angry, and lamentable! ......
In this way, after ten days, Xiong Fu's illness became more serious. Fearing that he would die in his house, the owner moved him to the funeral parlor.
In the funeral shop, after dragging on for a while, the people in the whole funeral shop lamented and sympathized with Xiong Fu's plight, and if they could help him a little, they tried to help him a little, so that he did not starve to death on the bed.
Later, Xiong Fu's condition improved slightly, and he was able to get up and walk around on crutches. After that, the funeral shop hired him to take the spiritual account and earn some money to support himself.
After a few months, Xiong Fu gradually recovered his health. At this time, the emperor had just issued an edict, ordering the governors of all prefectures and counties to enter Beijing once a year to report on the situation of the jurisdiction, called "entering the plan".
At this time, it happened that Xiong Fu's father, Xiong Yangchang, was also ordered to come to the capital. He and his colleagues changed into civilian clothes and took to the streets to enjoy the scenery of Kyoto.
An old servant who followed Xiong Gong saw the people singing elegy on the street, listened to the sound and action, much like the young master Xiong Fu, who wanted to go forward and confess but did not dare. The man's elegy was sung with great sorrow, and the old servant wept bitterly.
Xiong Gong saw it, felt strange, and asked the old servant why he was sad and crying. The old servant said sadly, "The man who sang the elegy is very much like your dead son!"
Xiong Gong said, "My son was also killed by robbers for money because he had a lot of money, so how could he have fallen to such a point?" "
Thinking of his son, Xiong Gong also cried sadly.
When he returned to the official station, the old servant used the excuse to return to the original place. Asked the bystander, "Who was the one who sang the elegy just now?" Sing so touchingly. "
Someone told the old servant that the young man who sang the elegy was also a rich man's son, and because he fell into the trap designed by the Fireworks Family in Willow Lane, he lost his penniless, almost died, and fell seriously ill and was thrown into the funeral shop. After picking up a life, he started the business of singing elegy. As for what the surname is, no one knows. "
The old servant was surprised to hear this, and slowly approached him, carefully identifying him.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Fu saw the old servant of the family at a glance, his face changed drastically, and he dodged and drilled into the pile of people.
The old servant stepped forward and tugged at Xiong Fu's sleeve and said, "Aren't you just the young master?" "
The two held hands and cried. Under the persuasion of the old servant, Xiong Fu returned to guanyi with him.
In his father's room, Xiong Gong pointed at his son and scolded: "We all thought you were dead, for more than a year, there was no news." Your quality behavior has degenerated to this point, insulting the bear family's family style! What face do you have to come to see me?" "
After scolding, Xiong Gong asked his son to follow him to a remote place in the courtyard, stripped off his clothes, and whipped him fiercely with a horse whip for hundreds of times, until his son passed out, then stopped, left him and left.
At that time, when Xiong Fu was leaving with the old servant, his funeral master had asked several people to secretly follow him. Those people went back to tell Xiong Fu's master what they saw.
Master sighed sadly, and asked the two men to take the reed mat to the official station to bury him.
When the two arrived there, they noticed that Xiong Fu was breathing weakly, so they carried him back to the funeral home. Master fed him chicken soup with a reed pipe and woke up after a night. After more than a month, his hands and feet could not move, and the place where he was whipped by the horse was festering and pus, and his whole body was dirty and smelly.
The companion of the funeral shop, who also hated the dirty and smelly Xiong Fu, one night, took him to sleep, carried him out of the funeral shop, discarded him on the side of the road, and left him to fend for himself.
People who pass by pity Xiong Fu often throw something at him to eat, and he also has a belief in his own heart: to live, he must find Li Wa and ask her why she deceived herself so much?
He survived, and a hundred days later, he finally survived the death line and stood up with a stick. He wore a thousand-and-one cloth jacket, took a broken jar, and begged along the street for subsistence.
In the four seasons, he hid in a cave full of garbage at night, and during the day he wandered around the street market and begged. By the way, look for the mother and daughter of the Li family who disappeared.
Meet true love and then map the future
Winter is here. One day there was heavy snowfall, and the bears were hungry and cold, braving the snow to beg along the streets. His begging was miserable, and everyone who heard it felt miserable and pitiful.
In the flying snow, the doors of ordinary people are closed.
Xiong Fu walked to the east gate of AnYi Li, along the wall, turned north through seven or eight houses, and saw that one of them had the door on the left. He stood outside the door and said, "I'm so hungry!" It's cold! Ask for a little charity! ″
The voice was bleak and sad. It's unbearable to hear.
Xiong Fuwan would not have thought: this family is the mother and daughter of the Li family who disappeared!
Li Wa heard begging outside the door in the room and said to Yahuan, "This must be Xiong Fu!" I could hear it was his voice. "
After saying that, he hurried out of the house and saw that in the heavy snow outside the door, the bear was as thin as wood, his face was full of scabies, and he was wearing a tattered cloth jacket, which was simply not human-like.
Li Wa was greatly shocked to see Xiong Fu look like this, and said, "Aren't you a bear boy?" How did it end up like this...? "
Before he could finish speaking, Xiong Fu saw that it was Li Wa, and he fainted in the snow in anger, his lips trembling and unable to speak.
Li Wa stepped forward and hugged Xiong Fu's neck, wrapped it in an embroidered cotton jacket, and joined forces with Ya Huan to help him into the West Wing and lie down. Crying bitterly at Xiong Fu, he lost his voice and said, "It is my sin to have brought you to this point!"
Crying and kneeling beside Xiong Fu, he cried sadly and cried to death.
Mother Li heard Li Wa's voice, did not know what was wrong, and ran to ask, "Who is he?" ″
"It's the Lang Jun." ″
"Get him out!" How do you get him to come home? "
Li Wa stood up, looked serious, and said coldly, "You can't do this!" He is the son of a pure white man! At the beginning, he came to our house on a high cart and horse, with money, and in less than a year, he turned money into nothing for us. And together we set up a ruse to get rid of him, and finally he fell and struggled several times on the line of life and death. He was looked down upon, insulted his xiong family style, made his father break with him, beat him to death and abandoned him.
"Now he is poor and destitute, all because of me!" Mom, you know what? Xiong Fu's relatives are mostly serving as high officials in the DPRK, and one day, his relatives will know the cause and effect of this matter, and then a few of us will be in a catastrophe.
"Besides, if you deceive the heavens and lose the honest people, the ghosts and gods will not let you go, so let's stop causing trouble to ourselves!" I have been your daughter for twenty years now, and I have made more than a thousand taels of gold.
"Now that you are more than sixty years old, I am willing to pay back your twenty years of childcare expenses to redeem myself, so I will rent another place for my son." The house I rented wouldn't be too far away, and sooner or later I could still come and ask for peace. In this way, I will take care of my son with confidence. ″
The mother knows her daughter's temper, and the things she thinks about are difficult to change. I had to cling to her.
After Li Wa paid her mother for redemption, she still had 100 taels of gold left. Rented a house nearby. She took Xiong Fu into the house, washed his hair and bathed him, and changed into clean clothes; first cooked thin porridge for him to eat to unclog his stomach; and then used milk and goat's milk to moisturize his internal organs.
Ten days later, Xiong Fu was given some nutrients such as fish and meat. The scarves, hats, shoes and socks he wore, Li Wa chose the most luxurious one to buy for him.
Under Li Wa's meticulous care, within two months, Xiong Fu's thin body gradually became stronger and his face became rosy; after a year of conditioning, he returned to his appearance when he first arrived in Kyoto.
During this period, the resentment in Xiong Fu's heart towards Li Wa slowly dissolved, and more was his gratitude to her.
One day, Li Wa said to Xiong Fu: "Your body has recovered and your energy is exuberant. Do you think you can still study your previous studies? ″
"I only remember two-thirds of a decade. ″
Li Wa ordered the servants to go out in a car and let Xiong Fu ride a horse to follow. Go to a bookstore at the south gate of the flag pavilion and let him pick the one he needs to buy.
Back at home, Li Wa asked Xiong Fu to put aside all distractions and concentrate on studying, working day and night, tirelessly.
When Xiong Fu reads, Li Wa will sit with him and sleep in the middle of the night. Sometimes when he saw that he was tired, the two of them recited poems against each other. Two years later, Xiong Fu read all the books and made great progress in his studies. He felt he could sign up for the exam.
Li Wa advised Xiong Fu to wait another year, and by then, he should be able to deal with various exams.
After another year, Xiong Fu signed up for the exam, and in one fell swoop, the first subject of high school, and the reputation vibration ceremony department. Even the scholars of the previous generation, reading his articles, were in awe of him.
However, Li Wa said: "Before the time of happiness, today's readers, who happen to get a meritorious name, think how great they are." You've had a stain on your past, your behavior is disgraceful, and you can't compare with a bunch of readers. We must continue to work hard to try to go to high school again. In this way, you can compete with others.
Xiong Fu listened to Li Wa's words and has been more diligent and hardworking since then, and his reputation has become higher and higher.
This year, the imperial court held a meeting test. The Emperor ordered the conscription of the Four Talents. Xiong Fu applied for the "Straight Talk Extreme Advice Section" and was appointed to join the army in Chengdu Province.
When she was about to take up her post, Li Wa said to Xiong Fu: "You have now returned to your original appearance, and I think you are worthy of you." I am willing to spend the rest of my years back to the old mother who raised me. You should find a lady who is right in the house to marry in order to get the approval of your parents. I hope you take care! I'm leaving you from now on. "
Xiong Fu listened, and his heart was extremely complicated. Thinking of Li Wa's care and help for herself over the past few years, she cried and said, "If you leave me, I will kill myself in front of you!" ″
Xiong Fu pleaded bitterly and asked Li Wa to go to Chengdu with him to take up his post.
Seeing that Xiong Fu was bent on begging, Li Wa said, "I will send you into Chuan, and when I reach the Sword Gate, I will return." ”
Xiong Fu had to agree. More than a month later, the two rushed to the sword gate. Li Wa was determined to return to the capital, but Xiong Fu still begged her to go to Chengdu with him.
The two were still at a stalemate, and the emperor's edict appointing a new official arrived, and it turned out that his father Xiong Yangchang, who was transferred from Changzhou, was appointed as the governor of Chengdu and concurrently served as a visiting envoy of Jiannan Province.
Xiong Fu had to stay and wait, just with Li Wa, to tour the majestic scenery of Jianmen Pass.
After twelve days, Xiong Gong arrived at the Sword Gate. Hearing that his father had arrived, Xiong Fu went to the inn, sent a post, and met his father.
Xiong Gong took the name post and did not dare to recognize him. When he saw the official position and name of his grandfather for three generations on the name post, he was shocked, told him to climb the stone steps, touched his back, cried sadly for a long time, and said: "Son, I blame you for the father's fault, I'm sorry for you!" How did you come to this? I never dreamed of it. ″
Xiong Fu told his father in detail about his encounter from beginning to end.
Xiong Gong listened, was greatly surprised, and asked Li Wa where she was now.
Xiong Fu said, "She sent me here, insisting on going back to Chang'an." I repeatedly begged her to go to Chengdu with me, but she refused to live or die, and my son was worried about it. ″
Xiong Gong said, "This is not okay. Her credit is greater than yours. "
The next day, Xiong Gong ordered his son to go to Chengdu first, and he asked Li Wa to buy a house and let her live in Jianmen first. After he went to Chengdu to take up his post, he asked the matchmaker to bring a dowry and go to Li Wa to say goodbye. Then, with a solemn ceremony, he married Li Wa and married Xiong Fu Baitang.
After Li Wafeng married into the Xiong family, she honored her in-laws and ruled the family strictly, and was deeply respected and loved by her relatives.
After a few years, Xiong Fu's parents died, and Li Wa took care of the funeral to the head. On the edge of her filial piety, there was a lingzhi grass, and one branch grew three ears.
The magistrate took these things and informed the emperor. There are also dozens of white swallows, nesting on the beams of her house. The Emperor found these situations strange. At the end of the period of filial piety, Xiong Fu was promoted.
However, in ten years, Xiong Fu became a high official in charge of several counties, and Li Wa was also given the title of Lady of the State of Feng by the emperor.
The two Heavenly Women, who had four sons in total, both became high officials. Qijian, the youngest official, was still a Taiyuan Fu Yin. The Bear Gate family is prominent.
Li Wa, a prostitute singer, with the only remaining good thoughts and love in her heart, broke with the prostitute gate and helped her former lover to get out of the sinking again, and in the end, she was also full of merit and was named Lady Wangguo.
Kindness and love transform a person!
Kindness and love make one's merit perfect!
