In the thirtieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1691), there was a widow in Zhangqiu Town, Shandong Province, who made a small calculation and earned five hundred taels of silver. The price is that a man who once had a skin kiss with himself died.
The widow's surname is Shang. My husband died for three years, and he had no in-laws and no children. When I was bored, I liked to chew my tongue with the middle-aged women in the village. It is not necessary to tell a short stream, but it is good to listen to those interesting stories, especially who has a bone in their eyes, and then comes up with a plan to trick someone around. Listening to it a lot, hearing it well, when the night was empty and lonely and cold, I rehearsed countless times that I was also reincarnated by Kong Ming, playing a little clever to make some money to use.
In the autumn of that year, she returned to Yanzhou to visit her relatives, and the woman was alone and difficult to get on the road, so she hired a donkey — and the owner of the donkey escorted her all the way.
A man, a woman and a donkey, all the way to the southeast, walking, passing through Dongping Lake, walking for half a day, it is almost to Wenshang County.
At this time, it will be late, and a slanting sun is accompanied by colorful clouds. The breeze is refreshing.
Taking advantage of this good time, the widow shang, who did not have much communication along the way, suddenly asked, Brother Zhang, are you married?
Zhang Donkey Fu sighed, hey, big sister, don't hide from you, my brothers are five, thin field a few acres, parents are old and tall, life is tight, please the matchmaker introduced several women, a listen to my family's situation, immediately the face changed, now I am thirty years old, driving the head donkey to go east and west, or single one ...
The widow heard the sadness in his tone, groaned for a while, and said, "Big brother, my life is not much better." Widowed for three years, there is no backbone in the family, and he has been bullied a lot. Big brother, this way I see you are a down-to-earth person, if the big brother does not give up, the sister is willing to help you sweep the yard, wash and cook a doll... My husband's dozens of acres of land are, of course, the eldest brother's.
This is really a Lin sister falling from the sky. Zhang Donkey Fu was so excited that tears swirled for a moment.
The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and under the catalysis of the cool autumn wind and the beautiful sunset, "because of the combination of wild and wild".
The next day, before lunch, the two walked into the county seat of Wenshang. Found an inn, ordered a few meat dishes, warmed two pots of small wine, and talked while eating.
The widow Shang said, "My mother's family is very rich, and the children's clothes are so good that it is inconvenient for them to return together."
Listening to her words, Zhang Donkey Fu was sad again, where did I get money to buy clothes... ay......
The widow said, the eldest brother does not have to mind, since I have skin to skin with you, will I let you have no face? In this way, these ten pieces of silver, the eldest brother, you take to the satin shop, buy a few good cloths, in the afternoon we ask someone to make clothes, more, just as a gift to my mother.
Zhang Donkey Fu turned from sadness to joy, and bought the silk back with a rub.
The widow looked over the satin and sighed as she looked, this material is really good! My parents will be very happy...
Hey......
How can there be a few holes here, big brother, it must be that the shop cheats you, shoddy! Let's eat first and wait to find their theory!
If you have something in mind, where can you still eat well, three times and two times, get up and go to the store.
The owner of the satin shop does not recognize ah, we have all gone through three tests, how can there be such a hole?
Zhang Donkey Fu bought back the rags, felt that his face was not good-looking, so he wanted to show the man's spirit in front of the widow and win back a city, so he exhaled and theorized with the people in the satin shop.
Speaking of excitement, he suddenly looked back and stood straight to the ground, silent.
It startled the people in the satin shop.
After the widow touched her nose, she cried, Oh my God, come on, kill people, my husband who is suffering, died in this shop, you have to pay, you have to pay... I'm going to report to the authorities for justice!"
When the shop owner saw people dying in his shop, how unlucky, no matter how the cloth was broken, take the money to calm the people, so as not to spread the word and smash the signboard.
So and so, it took five hundred taels in exchange for the promise that his husband had an illness and had lost money because of the irritation of the disease.
Seeing this, the rank probably guessed that the silk satin was secretly cut by the widow when she was in the inn, and the poison had long been mixed into Zhang Donkey's rice bowl.
