Talk about the rich, honest, and greedy

author:Head of the Ass Art Troupe

There is a person named Wang Cheng, who is also a son of the family, and his ancestors are also rich and noble, but in the generation of Wang Cheng, he is not good at management, and this person is more lazy, so the family is slowly broken, leaving only a few broken houses, so his wife often complains about him.

It was the hottest time of summer, and there was a Zhou courtyard outside the village, and the outer wall had fallen into disrepair and had long since collapsed, leaving only a pavilion in the courtyard. Many poor people in the village stayed in the courtyard overnight, and during the day they went to their own things to find a bite to eat.

The weather was hot, Wang Cheng also slept in this pavilion at night, it was dawn, the others had left early, leaving Wang Cheng alone, where she walked back and forth wondering what to eat at home.

Suddenly saw that there was a gold noodle in the grass, picked it up and looked at it, it was engraved with small characters "Yibin Province", Wang Cheng's ancestors were the official messengers of Yibin Province, so there were many similar things in the house, and the styles were diverse, so Wang Cheng took the gold noodles and looked around, thinking where he came from?

After a while, an old woman came looking for the gold noodles. Although Wang Cheng was poor, he was a man of integrity, and at this time he immediately returned the gold noodles to the old woman. The old woman was particularly happy to see the golden noodles, and praised Wang Zhende and said that this noodle was not worth a few dollars, but it was a relic of her husband. Wang Cheng asked who his husband was, and the old woman said yes: Binyi Wang Kamzhi.

Wang Cheng exclaimed that Wang Kam Zhi was my grandfather, how did you meet?

The old woman was also surprised and said: You are the grandson of Wang Kamzhi, I was originally a fox fairy, I met and married your grandfather 100 years ago, after your grandfather died, I returned to the hidden mountain forest, I accidentally dropped the gold noodles, looking around here, just you picked it up, is this a divine arrangement.

Wang Cheng also heard that his grandfather had a fox fairy wife, so he invited the old woman to come to the house, the old lady followed Wang Cheng back to the house, Wang Cheng called his wife out to greet him, and the old man saw that Wang Cheng's clothes were torn, and her face was yellow and green, without a little luster.

The old woman sighed and said that she could not imagine that Wang Kamzhi's grandson was so poor. Look at the tattered stove, there is no fireworks at all, no firewood and no rice, how can you live? The wife was whimpering and crying next to her.

The woman gave the gold noodles to Wang's wife, said to sell it, buy some rice to come back, agreed to see you again in three days, Wang Cheng wanted to stay with his grandmother for a few days, the old woman replied, you and your wife are almost out of rice, I hope Mei here to quench my thirst, and then leave.

Wang Cheng told his wife how he and the old woman met, and talked about the matter of jinchao, and the wife felt particularly frightened. Wang Cheng constantly praised her benevolence and told his wife not to be afraid, and her wife agreed.

On the third day, the old woman returned, and took some money and bought a bag of rice and noodles.

At night, the old woman and her wife slept in a small bed, and at first, Wang's wife was still very afraid, but from the words outside the words, she felt that the old lady was full of fists, and all kinds of doubts suddenly disappeared.

After getting up the next day, the old lady said to Wang Cheng: Grandchildren, don't be lazy, you can do some small business, and your life will get better slowly. Wang Cheng told the old lady that there was no money at all now. The old woman said, When your grandfather was there, I took the gold and silver from the house, but I couldn't use it in the foxes, so I didn't ask for much at all.

My rouge powder money has accumulated 40 taels, and it still exists in my place, and it is useless for a long time. You use it all to buy Gebu, go to the capital immediately, and sell it to make money.

Wang Cheng obeyed his grandmother's arrangement and bought fifty gebu back. The old woman asked Wang Cheng to quickly pack his bags, and it was estimated that in 6 or 7 days he would arrive at the capital City of Yanjing, and instructed him: "Don't be lazy, be diligent, be fast and not slow, be late for a day, and then it will be too late to regret it" Wang Cheng respectfully said goodbye.

After Wang Cheng loaded the goods, he immediately went to the capital, and halfway there was a drizzle, and after one night, the road was muddy.

Only to see the passers-by, all the mud on the calves on the feet, Wang Cheng felt hard in his heart. I wanted to wait until noon to leave, but I didn't expect it, but it was cloudy and rainy.

I stayed for two consecutive nights before going to the capital, and when I arrived in the capital, I heard that Gebu was particularly expensive, and Wang Cheng was secretly happy in his heart.

When Wang Cheng arrived in Kyoto, he found the inn to stay, and the owner of the shop saw Wang Cheng's Gebu and said: Objectively, if you can be a few days earlier, it would be better, because the freight avenue has just been dredged, and the Gebu transported to the capital is particularly small, and at this time, the Baylor House is anxious to get Gebu, so Gebu is three times more expensive than usual. Unfortunately, the day before, The Gebu of Baylor House had just been bought, and the late day did not arrive at this perfect opportunity. Wang Cheng's heart was sullen and unhappy, remembering his grandmother's words, and regretting it. After a few days, more and more people in the capital sold Gebu, and the price became lower and lower.

Wang Cheng saw that there was no profit to be made, and he did not want to sell it, expecting the price of Gebu to rise again, after more than ten days, the coils on his body were used for the most part, and the owner urged Wang Cheng to sell it quickly and do some other business.

Helplessly, Wang Cheng sold all the Gebu, lost a dozen or two abacuses, and got up the next day to go home, but found that the silver in his pocket was missing.

Wang Cheng told the owner of the store about the loss of money, and the owner of the shop had no way to help, and told Wang Cheng that you only had to go to the official government to sue me, and the official government pursued the responsibility of poor management, and I came to compensate you.

Wang Cheng sighed and said that this is my life, it has nothing to do with you, it would be good to listen to my grandmother earlier. The owner of the shop felt that Wang Chengxin was kind and virtuous, and took out five or two pieces of silver as a coil.

Wang Cheng regretted in his heart that he did not listen to his grandmother's words, feared hardship, delayed time on the road, and only returned empty-handed.

I'm on the street full of hesitation, how to get home? I just saw someone fighting quail, and those people could win a thousand. Wang Cheng thought in his heart, selling a quail is more than 100 yuan, I simply sell quail, thinking of this, calculate the silver in my pocket, how many can be bought, so I bought quail in the market and sold it back.

The owner of the shop saw that Wang Cheng had a new deal, and was also happy for him, telling him to sell the quail quickly. Unexpectedly, at night, it suddenly rained heavily, and this rain continued to fall until dawn, and during the day, Wang Chengcheng lived in the shop, waiting for the sky to clear, but the rain did fall for many days. Looking back at the quails in the cage, several of them died.

The next day there were more deaths, and only a few remained, so he kept the remaining ones in a cage, and the next day there was only one quail left in the cage.

Wang Cheng was particularly distressed, the owner of the shop also felt sorry for him, Wang Cheng thought that the money was also used up, he could not go back, he wanted to die, and the shopkeeper was next to him to persuade each other.

After the owner carefully inspected the dead quail, he said that the remaining quail was amazing, it must be a quail king, and the rest of the quail was not sick and died, but was bitten to death by this quail. You have nothing to do now, and if this is a quail or a quail king, you can use it to fight quail.

Wang Cheng trained the quail according to the shop owner's method. The quail on the street only bet on wine and food, and it did not happen that it won every time. The owner of the shop was very happy, and gave Wang Cheng silver as a gambling capital, so that he and the children of the eunuchs could gamble, and the result was three battles and three victories. After half a year, he won 20 taels of silver, and Wang Cheng took the quail as his lifeblood.

When the opportunity came, the grand prince in the capital especially liked to fight quails, and every year on the First Day, he let those who had good quails go to the palace to fight once. The owner of the shop told Wang Cheng that if you are destined to have this wealth, this opportunity has come. The owner of the shop told Wang Cheng about the Grand Prince's love of fighting quails, and instructed: If you lose the quail fight, you must come out with your head down. If your quail wins, the Grand Prince will definitely want to buy it, and you don't agree. If the Grand Prince had to buy it, look at my face and act. Wang Cheng agreed very happily.

When we arrived at the Grand Prince's mansion, I saw a group of people pressed down by the black, carrying quail on their shoulders. After a while, the prince walked out of the palace and said to the left and right that he would like to gamble to bring the quail up. Hearing this, a man immediately raised the quail above his head, and the Grand Prince also took out his own quail, and the result was that one after another was defeated.

The owner of the shop said that he could go up, Wang Cheng stood up with the quail, and the grand prince said: This quail has anger in its eyes, and it is a powerful character that cannot be taken lightly. Ordered his men to take out the quail named Iron Beak, and without two strokes of the prince's quail, they were defeated, and no matter how good they were, they lost again. The man was ordered to bring the jade quail, and this time the quail was covered in snow and did not have a trace of variegation, which was obviously the king of the quail.

Wang Cheng also felt a little discouraged when he saw this quail, and knelt on the ground to beg the prince to strike, and the prince smiled and said: Let the two of them compete, if your quail is bitten to death, I will be rewarded heavily.

Only to see the jade quail running directly to Wang Cheng's quail, and Wang Cheng's quail lowered its body to prepare for the battle, so that you came and went. For a moment, the prince's jade quail fighting spirit was not as good as before, while Wang Cheng's quail was becoming more and more courageous as he fought, and the feathers of the jade quail were caught falling off, and they fled with their wings, and none of the more than a thousand people watching next to them did not envy Wang Cheng.

The prince carefully examined Wang Cheng's quail from beginning to end for half a day and asked Wang Cheng's quail whether they were sold? Wang Cheng said that the villain has nothing of value? There is no manor field that depends entirely on this quail

The King of Daqing said, "The king will reward you heavily, but you can live a medium life, are you willing?" Wang Cheng looked down and thought for half a day and said, Originally I didn't want to sell this quail, but since the king likes it and can make me live and work in peace, what concerns do I have?

The Grand Prince asked, how much do you want to sell? Wang Cheng said to sell a thousand taels of silver. The Atmospheric King laughed and laughed are you stupid? This is what treasure can be worth a thousand taels.

Wang Cheng said: The king does not think it is a treasure, but I think it is the bi of the city, I am in the street market, a day can get a few gold, in exchange for grain, can feed a family of more than ten, what treasure is better than him.

The Grand Prince said, I will not let you suffer a loss and give you two hundred taels. Wang Cheng shook his head, and the Grand Prince increased the price by hundreds, and Wang Cheng saw that the owner of the shop did not nod.

Wang Cheng then said: The king will just give me 900. The prince laughed and said, "Which one buys a quail for nine hundred taels?" Finish pretending to go, the prince gave the price 600.

Wang Cheng looked at the owner of the shop and still did not nod, but this price reached Wang Cheng's psychological price, and he was afraid that the king would repent and said: I really don't want to buy this price, but the king can't buy it, and the villain is afraid of offending the king, so I will suffer a loss and listen to the king's six hundred taels. The Grand Prince was particularly pleased and ordered his servants to give six hundred taels to Wang Cheng.

The owner of the Wangfu Gate was unhappy and said to Wang Cheng, How did I say? You are in a hurry to sell yourself, and once again you cut it for eight hundred taels of silver.

Wang Cheng returned to the shop, put eight hundred taels of silver on the table, asked the shop owner to take it himself, the shop owner refused to take it, Wang Cheng insisted, the shop owner took out the cost of staying in the store and the accommodation

Wang Cheng packed up and went home, and when he returned home, he told his wife and grandmother in detail about the affairs in the capital and took out the remaining silver.

Grandmother ordered Wang Cheng to buy 300 acres of good land, built a house to buy furniture, let the husband and wife get up early every day, let Wang Cheng supervise the cultivation of the farmland, and his wife supervise the spinning and weaving of cloth, when the two of them wanted to be lazy, the old lady scolded them, and the two did not dare to complain.

Three years have passed, the family is getting richer, the old woman wants to go into hiding, the wife does not want the old man to leave, tears are shedding, and the old lady stays.

By the time Ann was invited the next morning, the old woman was gone.
