A certain filial piety will try to fall in the first place, with a number of friends to the south, to a certain township and county when it is already evening, the hostel is already full.
At a glance, I saw that there was a room in the back that was very spacious and tidy, and asked the clerk that there was an official who supported the coffin to stop here, and it had been several months, and I was afraid that I would not give up the room to you.
Xiao Lian said: "We only live one night, maybe we can get permission or not." The clerk then agreed to consult with him, and sure enough, he gave up a room.
Xiao Lian and several of his companions entered with their belongings, packed up their belongings, and asked who the official was, but there was only one woman. She was a native of Haining, Zhejiang, the daughter of a vice general, who died as an official in the north, so Fuling was buried in her hometown.
Xiao Lian and the others thanked the woman for letting the house, bought something to go to mourn, and heard a miserable cry. Xiao Lian was strange, after the mourning, the departure action became slow, and an old woman came out and said, "Miss my family, I want to come out and thank you." Then he stroked out a woman, young and young, tearful, in a miserable state, but her appearance was beautiful, and she did not lose the demeanor of a woman.
The woman saluted the crowd and invited people to sit down, saying to herself: "My father lived in the north, unfortunately passed away, the family was thin, and my mother was long gone." I was left alone with a woman who mourned. A difficult trek and barely got here. I have written to my home, urging my cousin to come here to greet me, and I have not heard back from him for a long time, and I don't know what to do now. The woman burst into tears, and then thanked the outsider and went back to the room.
Filial piety admired the woman and felt pity, turning to the crowd and saying, "We are also in the south, so why not walk with them?" You can't leave a weak woman alone. The others disagreed, and Xiao Lian had to stay on his own and told the woman what he thought.
The woman cried and thanked her again and again, and decided to go with the two of them.
The woman is particularly gentle and supple, and takes extremely careful care of filial piety's living and eating. Filial piety is grateful in his heart, often getting along with women, and the two of them have crossed the norms of etiquette after the long days.
After a few more days, the woman asked Xiao Lian, "When Jun returns to the township, what are your plans to run the business?" Xiao Lian said, "The only way is to find a teaching career." The woman laughed and said, "It's just sitting on a cold bench, do you have to teach all your life?" In my opinion, it is better to go to Jingcheng to donate and buy an official, and slowly plot a person to protect you. Xiao Lian said: "I am just a cold soldier, where did the huge amount of money come from to buy officials?" The woman said, "I was a weak woman, but fortunately you did not give up." The ancestors have some small funds, and they can donate officials for you. I don't know what happened to you. ”
Xiao Lian suddenly heard such a surprise, and his heart was confused and did not know what to do, he could only listen to the woman's arrangement. The woman said, "If you really want to do this, you must make arrangements early, and you must not delay the time!" "Filial piety has been said to you one after another. So he arranged the woman's coffin with the woman, and the two of them brought each other into the capital.
The woman made a point for Filial Piety, knowing that at this time there was a certain department in charge, and there was a shortage of people, and the woman said to Filial Piety: "In Jingcheng as an official and residence, I am most afraid of the gathering of poor relatives and friends in the family, so it is better for you to change your name and surname to report for donation." ”
Filial piety also obeyed.
So the woman bought a house for Xiao Lian, bought clothes, cars and horses, and packed up Xiao Lian and sent him to the official office, and xiao Lian looked like the image of a Jingcheng official.
Not long after, the woman asked Xiao Lian to invite people with official positions and power in the same township to their homes every day. Suddenly, the family came and went.
A woman said to Xiao Lian again: "You often go out, leaving me alone at home, even if you don't go out, you are feasting, and I am very lonely." How about you call the in-laws of your friends to meet me? ”
Xiao Lian hurriedly said yes.
The next day, the woman said to Xiao Lian, "I am going to go out to visit guests, but the clothes in my box are outdated, and you must buy new clothes for me." "Filial piety is suffering from the place where the woman has no retribution, and he heard the happy answer here." The woman then prescribed the size of her dress and the style she needed to Xiao Lian. He also took some old gold and silver jewelry and handed them over to the jewelry store for transformation, and then took some beads and flowers to make him a new style.
Filial piety and honesty are all ordered to do one by one, after a few days these things have been sent, the woman checked one by one, said that the clothes and jewelry are good, and then look at the pearls and flowers, only the pearls on them are fake, the woman blamed: "Why take a fake pearl for me?" Where did you buy it? Mo was not deceived. ”
Xiao Lian was shocked and said, "This is what I bought from those famous jewelry stores, those shops are gorgeously decorated, how can they sell counterfeits?" The woman said, "You are really a nerd, and the only thing in Kyoseong is this kind of pomp and circumstance, and the more famous the shop sells, the more untrustworthy it is." Such tricks can deceive you but cannot deceive me! ”
After listening to her words, Xiao Lian was extremely angry and hurried to the store to theorize. The woman said, "Lunch is ripe, and it is not too late to go after eating." "Ask the servant woman to lay out the meal, and add food to the filial piety with her own hands." After eating, Xiao Lian drove to the original jewelry store and scolded the store for selling fakes.
The clerk was not convinced, took the pearl to see, and said in an uproar: "My family's beads are not fake, this is you using fake pearls to blackmail me!" ”
Xiao Lian was furious, slapped the table and smashed the bowl, argued with the clerk, and the noise was noisy. In the midst of the shouting, Xiao Lian felt thirsty and asked for a cup of tea to drink, and he suddenly changed his look and fell to the ground at the right time.
The people in the shop were shocked, touched their sniffles, and found that they had lost their breath. He didn't know where Xiao Lian lived, and came out to see that Xiao Lian's car was gone. A group of people were in a trance, not knowing what to do.
An old woman helped a young woman out, said that this was the wife of so-and-so, and said: "My old man came to you to change the beads, and he did not return home for a long time, that is, to see the reason." ”
After a while, when the woman saw Xiao Lian's death, she immediately fell to the ground and beat her chest, crying, and said, "Even though the authenticity of the pearl is unknown, why did my husband die in the Ru shop?" ”
The people in the shop were kind and comforting, hoping that they would collect the buried body and return, but the young woman ignored it, wearing plain clothes and crying everywhere to complain that a certain store had killed her husband because she bought fakes and was afraid of the incident.
So the people who used to travel back and forth with Xiao Lian listened to this matter and heard all the injustices, and some officials in important positions even said that they wanted to help the woman to sue the official.
The shopkeeper could not, let people open the coffin for autopsy, the person was indeed poisoned, the shopkeeper knew that its power was invincible, so he had to send people to consult with the woman and bribe the woman to say peace. The woman resolutely refused to allow it, and must report to the officials to avenge filial piety, and said: "Tell your shopkeeper, no matter how noble or low, you must give everything you have and leave nothing!" ”
The man who said peace went back and brought this to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper probably knew what it meant, so he took out more money to bribe the woman, and the silver money gradually increased to thirty or forty thousand taels of silver, and the woman only agreed to it, and she buried filial piety and thanked all the guests, and then helped the coffin out of the city.
Later, Xiao Lian's family did not get news of others for a long time, and sent someone to inquire, only to learn that his son had been tricked into dying, and the body was missing.
