Friends in adversity
It is said that during the Wanli Dynasty, a boss named Yue Guangcheng opened a jewelry store in the capital, and the business was very prosperous. He made many friends and was good at helping people, whether he was a high-ranking official or a small person, as long as he was asked. Among them, he helped a singing Hua Dan actor named Jiang Yuping. Due to the extremely low social status of the opera at that time, Yue's wife advised Yue to have less contact with them. Yue retorted: "Although Jiang Yuping is a dramatist, he is upright and upright, and I must make such a friend." A few years later, Yue Guangcheng's jewelry store encountered a lawsuit and was tragically destroyed. It turned out that the government found a treasure lost in the palace in Yue Guangcheng's shop, but Yue did not know that this treasure was lost in the palace. It was only bought back as ordinary jade, but it caused a catastrophe. Because the case involved the imperial palace, the government punished him very severely, not only sealing the jewelry store, but also putting Yue in prison. Yue's wife was very anxious, and she suddenly thought that her husband had so many friends, and looking for them should be able to help figure it out. One by one, she began to ask his friends for help. But when those friends heard this, they were afraid of causing trouble for themselves, and no one dared to interfere. Later, Yue's wife thought of Jiang Yuping, and thought that there was no other way anyway, no matter whether Jiang Yuping had a way or not, he could only try, so he should be a dead horse and a live horse doctor. After Jiang Yuping listened to his mother-in-law tell him what happened to the whole thing, he simply agreed to do his best to help. This Jiang Yuping knew many dignitaries and righteous people in the rivers and lakes, he went to the east and west to inquire about the news, and finally learned from a friend that this was done by a thief, and also heard that this thief once stole the inner courtyard of the palace. After getting this clue, Jiang Yuping immediately told the government about this person. After months of searching, the government finally brought the thief to justice, and Yue Guangcheng and the others were finally acquitted and returned home, avoiding a catastrophe, and the Yue family's jewelry store business has become more and more prosperous since then. #story##民间故事 #
