In the middle reaches of the Taizi River, there is a tributary called "fine river" that flows from south to north, and the part south of the upstream "Lianshan Pass" is called "Wan Liang River", the so-called ten thousand taels is the meaning of "ten thousand taels of gold", because this river was rich in gold in the past. Along with gold, there are also stories related to gold, and today I will share one such story with you.
Lianshan Guanwan two rivers scenery
There is a small river in Lianshanguan Town, Benxi County, and its birthplace is called Qingshuiting (丁tìng, a large area with deep and stable water in the northeast river). Legend has it that the Qingshui Ting carp begged for a book, only to know that there was a secret of ten thousand taels of gold in the river. Once upon a time, there was a young man named He Bi in Lianshanguan, who worked as an errand in the Shengjing Internal Affairs Office, and he could go back to his hometown in Lianshanguan twice a year to do some small business. This young man likes to take advantage of small things, and if you ask him to do something, he will try to get some money out of you. There's nothing cheap to take advantage of, so he won't do it.
One year, He Bi was about to return to Lianshanguan from Shengjing, and he led the horse around the shops on the street to buy popular goods. When the goods were almost finished, he led his horse to a shop along the river. At this time, two female shopkeepers walked out of the shop, let He Bi into the house, took out a letter, and asked the young man to take it back to Qing Shuiting's house in Lianshanguan.
The young man is a native of Lianshanguan, and he has been bathing and playing in Qingshuiting since he was a child, so he asked the female shopkeeper: "Sister, who are you Qingshuiting?" "My surname is Yu, my name is Sister Yu Xiu, and my sister is called Yu Xiuying. We are opening a shop, and we have something to do at home, and my sisters are so busy that we can't do it, can I ask the minister to bring the letter back?" "Oh, my home is in Lianshanguan, far away from Qingshuiting, there are more than 20 miles of road, and the back and forth is 40 miles, the horse wants to eat forage, the people want to eat, if the horseshoe paw runs away, and get the blacksmith stove nail horseshoe paw, and it costs money and work, I can't afford it, you still find someone else to carry this family letter!". "I'm all over the capital to inquire, only you leave tomorrow to go back to Lianshanguan, we are fellow villagers, you do things for my sister, can you still let you take money?
When He Bi heard Sister Yu Xiu's words, he immediately smiled all over his face, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll send your letter even if I have to do something." As for taking things, hehe, you're welcome!" So the young man slammed and pulled, and three sacks were full. Hang one on the horse's back, press one on the top, see that it can no longer be loaded, and then lead the horse to go. Sister Yu Xiu took the letter and said, "Xianggong, what are you busy with, you haven't brought the letter with you yet." He was afraid that the female shopkeeper would ask him for money, how good it would be to take it for nothing, these goods were worth at least 200 taels of silver. Although he is on an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he really can't take out so much silver, so why don't you go quickly.
As soon as they walked a dozen steps away, the Yu Xiu sisters came up again, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, you are too anxious, I haven't told you how to carry this letter, where are you going!" When I opened it, I saw that it was the five words "Taizu Mother Qi", and the name and surname of the recipient were not written. The young man hurriedly said: "Oh, I'm in a hurry, isn't it over if this letter is sent to Mrs. Qing Shui Ting?" The two female shopkeepers said: "When you arrive at Qing Shui Ting, you have to shout three times: 'The stone gate is open, and Sheng Jing will bring the book.'" 'to see my great-grandmother. "Well, I'll just make sure to deliver your letter." After He Bi finished speaking, he held the sack in his hand and shouted: "Drive!" and ran to Lianshan Pass overnight.
He sold goods as he walked, and when he arrived at Lianshan Pass, he earned 200 taels of silver, and some of the goods were not sold out! He Bi thought to himself, the old Yu sisters gave me a lot of bags of goods so generously, her family must have money, and if there is something urgent to do, I will open the letter first. The young man was not honest, and peeked at other people's letters, there was nothing important in them, just some common words, but the last five words were quite weighty: "Thank you to the bookbearer". He Bi thought to himself, it is me who carries the book, it seems that carrying this letter can take advantage of both ends. He stopped riding a horse, and even ran to Qingshuiting.
The young man looked around Qing Shui Ting, and there was no one here? Hey, thinking about it, he slapped his thigh, jumped three high, and shouted: "The stone gate is open, and Sheng Jing is carrying a book." "I shouted it three times in a row. I only heard the sound of the water in Qing Shui Ting, and after a while, a waterway parted and a flat avenue led to a manor with neat courtyards. He Bi arrived at the gate of the manor, and came out from inside, all of them had double eyelids, big eyes, and were dressed in red and cyan clothes. Someone asked, "Who brought the book?" He Bi replied: "The boy sent a letter to the old lady at the behest of Sister Yu Xiu and Yu Xiuying. After speaking, he handed over the letter with both hands, and everyone welcomed He Bi into the manor.
He Bi entered a tiled house and saw an old lady, this old lady was not white-haired, not hunched over, but tall and large, black-haired and red-faced, stronger than all others. He Bi was surprised, only to hear the old lady ask, "Who sent the book?" He hurriedly knelt down and said: "The kid is He Bi, who is on an errand in the Shengjing Internal Affairs Office, and he was entrusted by the two bosses to send a book here to meet his grandmother!" The old lady took the letter, opened it, and frowned: "Quickly put ten thousand taels of gold into the warehouse, the imperial court sent an official to take up his post here, don't scrape the gold in the river." Ladies and grandchildren, let's do it right away!"
I saw a large group of men and women, old and young, carrying and picking, carrying wisps of yellow and clear gold, and I don't know where they are going. The two old men let He Bi into the guest room to rest, and entertained him with delicious food and drink. He Bi also told He Bi: "You can go whenever you want, we are too busy to care about setting up a banquet to entertain you, please Haihan!" This kid thought: You are busy, can't I just carry some gold and go, there will be no such shop in this village. If you don't give it to me, I won't leave for a mile! In order to get a heavy thanks, the young man spent more than ten days at the old lady's house.
The old lady led her children and grandchildren to put the ten thousand taels of gold into the warehouse, and when she heard that the young man had not left, she ordered her subordinates: "Quickly, bring me the young man." When He Bi saw the old lady, he asked, "I brought you a letter from so far away, and you are so stubborn?" The old lady was shocked and asked, "How do you say this?" You brought the letter to you to be true, but we have not treated you badly!" "No mistreatment? My family can't even afford to eat good food, so can't you help?" He Bi said. The old lady replied, "Oh, this is all right, granddaughter, go and get him a basket of bean sprouts, to eat in winter, this is a fresh vegetable, but it is precious, let the young man with the book bring it back."
After a while, a girl in a red-faced pink skirt came over with a basket of bean sprouts and handed it to He Bi. As soon as he saw it, he was so angry in his heart that he didn't mention it. I waited for more than 10 days, and then I gave the basket bean sprouts, how much is that worth? It seems that this old lady is a small picker, and his family has 10,000 taels of gold, so he sews a leak with his fingers, and it is enough for me to be rich for a lifetime, so I don't want bean sprouts! When the old lady saw that the young man did not accept the bean sprouts, and her face looked like a fire, she asked: "Young man, what else do you want?" This bean sprout is so good, you can wait to eat the good food when you get it!" He Bi snorted and said: "I think you should do what your great-granddaughter says, and whatever she says in the letter, you should do it." The old lady spread out the letter and said, "Do as my great-granddaughter says." When I got the letter, I should have let you go, and I should have kept you until today? That's a big basket, and when it comes to the world, it's a princely general's family, and it's not common!"
The young man couldn't help but say: "The letter said that you should thank the bookkeeper again, but you thank me like that? When the old lady saw that the young man was leaving, she cried out: "Wait, I'll let you go, don't look at me as a fool at home, what do you see on this letter?" "Thank you to the bookbearer", what else do you want me to ask for? It is not enough for you to make a fortune with a letter, and you still want to get a double copy, don't you feel sorry? Take the bean sprouts home!" The young man saw that the letter was indeed "Thank you to the bookbearer", and he looked sloppy, and he was ashamed and annoyed, and raised his leg and walked back.
The girl handed the basket of bean sprouts to the young man and said, "Grandma advises you to take the bean sprouts back so that you don't regret it." The young man refused, and left the old lady's manor with the basket of bean sprouts. When he walked, he thought that the bean sprouts basket was shutting down, and he fell to the ground, and walked towards home without looking back. When he got home, he saw that there were two bean sprouts on his clothes, he pinched them and threw them on the ground, "bang", and looked down to see that the soybean sprouts turned out to be Huang Chengcheng's two golden distillers.
The young man really regretted it, how good it would be if the basket of bean sprouts was not thrown away, there were so many golden stills, I had to find it back if I said anything. He came to Qingshuiting again, but there was nothing left, only a pool of deep green water. When I arrived in Shengjing, I went straight to the shop of the Yu Xiu sisters and sisters. I saw two female shopkeepers taking a bath in the tank. The two of them jumped out of the tank, and the clothes on their bodies were not wet at all, do you think it's strange?
The young man told the Yu sisters that the book had been delivered, and if there was a letter, he could send it all the way. The sisters said: "My grandmother has already sent a letter, let me go back to do something by myself in the future, don't ask others to bring books, so as not to be dissatisfied, and I won't trouble you again in the future, thank you for coming to visit us again!"
The young man left the shop, thinking that ten thousand taels of gold were in Qing Shui Tingyu's house, and if I reported it to the general of Shengjing, it would definitely give me a lot of benefits. So he really reported that Qing Shui Ting had 10,000 taels of gold. As soon as the general was transferred, he felt that his hand was empty, and when he heard that there were ten thousand taels of gold fat, he immediately rode to Qingshuiting in Lianshan Pass, and asked He Bi to shout to open the stone gate. He Bi shouted three times: "The stone gate is open, and Sheng Jing brings the book." "But I couldn't see the house, I couldn't see the road, I only heard the sound of running water. The general thought that he had been tricked by He Bi and wanted to kill him. Now he panicked, and paid all the money he got from carrying the book, so that he could save his life. was expelled from the flag and kicked out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Look at him, trying to take advantage of it has suffered a big loss!
Later, people said that the sisters of the Yu family were two carp essences, and their hometown lived in Qingshuiting, where there were ten thousand taels of gold, and the small river that formed Qingshuiting was called Wanliang River, and they really picked up gold in Wanliang River.
