    [1] "Zeng Guang Xian Wen" [1] Zhou Xitao

    People sit at home, and disaster falls from the sky.

    Due to the turmoil in Yunnan Province, all the troops in Chengdu were transferred to Yunnan to suppress the rebellion.  Taking advantage of the emptiness of Chengdu, a large group of bandits ransacked all the wealthy households in the city.

    This group of bandits was sent by the rebel Wang Tujian.

    In order to raise military expenses, Tu Jian sent someone to find Lei Biao, the bandit leader on Wumeng Mountain, and promised him an official position, letting him lead the bandits to Sichuan to rob big families.

    Sichuan Province was the second richest province in the Yuan Dynasty, and Ji Xu's family was the richest man in Sichuan.  Therefore, the Ji family compound became the main target of robbery by the bandits.  They burned down the Ji family compound, burned Ji Xu's father and more than 30 servants to death, and kidnapped Ji Xu's mother.  Mother refused to be humiliated, and committed suicide by biting her tongue.

    Fortunately, Ji Xu went to Beijing to rush for the exam and has not returned home, otherwise he would not have escaped.

    At the same time, the Su family also suffered.

    The mother and daughter of the Su family happened to go to Chongqing Road [now Chongqing City, which belonged to Sichuan Province at that time] that day, and went to her sister's house to marry, and the mother and daughter were lucky to escape this difficulty.

    Don't join the crowd if you don't have money, and don't seek relatives if you are in trouble;

    If you have money, you speak the truth, but if you have no money, you speak the truth.

    The mother and daughter of the Su family, the mother's surname is Zhao Mingyu Rong, is a scholarly family.  There is also a younger sister in her natal family, named Zhao Yuyu, who married a celebrity in Chongqing.  Normally, the sisters and brother-in-law would compare each other and be jealous of each other, making the relationship very delicate.

    After the disaster at home, Zhao Yurong and his wife hurried to the pawn shop to pawn their jewelry and buried the victims of the Su family.  He brought his 15-year-old daughter, Su Xiaoya, back to his younger sister's house to see if they could get married quickly, and wanted to borrow some money to solve the current predicament.

    The brother-in-law was shy, and rejected Yu Rong's request, saying: "For Xiaoya's marriage, you have to find another big family, and collect enough dowry, so that you can take care of yourself. With my family's financial resources,  A small family can¡¯t afford too much dowry. You take the ten taels of silver first, it¡¯s my gift money to my brother-in-law[2], and you don¡¯t have to pay it back.¡±

    ? When Yu Rong heard this, it meant that the children's engagement had been terminated. Yu Rong was very angry. Isn't this adding insult to injury?  Yu Rong sighed, knowing that it would be useless to say more, she said with disappointment: "Her uncle, look, can you let Xiaoya stay with you temporarily, it is not convenient for me to bring such a big girl."

    "It'sit's okay to stay temporarily, but the time can't be too longyou have to find her a husband's house quickly." The brother-in-law looked embarrassed, as if he was afraid that Su Xiaoya would stay here and not leave.

    "Now that my family is in such a situation, how can we find her a husband's family so quickly? You don't want your niece anymore, who can control her life?" Yu Rong couldn't bear her brother-in-law's attitude, and finally broke out.

    "What are you talking about" The brother-in-law quickly avoided.

    ¡¾3¡¿Zhou Xitao in Zengguang Xianwen

    In the hot and cold world, wealth is more important than poverty;

    Jealous of people, their flesh and blood are even worse than outsiders.

    At this time, Yu Rong felt the warmth of the situation and the warmth of human feelings.  It made her even more unexpected that she was her own sister, who was even worse than outsiders

    Yu Rong hurried back to Chengdu to find a way.  The neighbors in the neighborhood used to avoid her, like avoiding the plague.

    The death of Yu Rong's husband also left Yu Rong with a big problem: the earners died, while the spenders lived;

    Upon hearing that something happened to the Su family, the creditors outside saw that there were only orphans and widows left, and they were afraid that the money owed to them would become bad debts, so they came to ask for debts one after another.  There is no evidence for the husband's business debts and cannot be recovered.

    Yu Rong's sky has indeed collapsed.

    She had nowhere to go, and she didn't dare to rent a house with the little money in her hand. After renting a house, eating became a problem.  With nowhere to go, Yu Rong sits helplessly in front of Ashes' door and weeps bitterly.

    The former neighbor came out and said to Yu Rong: "Look at your life, how will you live in the future?"

    Yu Rong raised her head and said, "I still need more help from her aunt. Hurry up and find a husband's house for the child. I can talk about it by myself."

    The neighbor asked: "Didn't Xiaoya promise to her cousin?"

    "Cough" Yu Rong sighed, "Her uncle has already called off the marriage."

    "Xiaoya is well-educated, talented and beautifulyou might as welllet her go to the brothel" the neighbor suggested.

    Yu Rong raised her head angrily, and shouted: "No matter what we do, we can't let the child go to that kind of place!"

    ¡¾Four¡¿Zhou Xitao in Zengguang Xianwen

    It's better to talk than kissBecause, asking others is not as good as asking yourself.

    At night, in the silence of death, Yu Rong was still sitting in front of the door of her "home", sobbing on her knees: No one can help her, what should I do in the future?  Could it be that sending his daughter to a brothel would ruin everything about the child - why not go by himself?

    But I am over 30 years old. Although I look good, I am old and decrepit after all. It seems that it is unrealistic to go to a brothel, so I might as well go to a brothel and become a "kiln sister"!  Having made up her mind, Yu Rong got up and walked towards Tanhua Alley

    Notes

    [1] "Zeng Guang Xian Wen"

    Also known as "Words of the Past" and "Words of Ancient and Modern Times", it is a children's enlightenment bibliography compiled during the Ming Dynasty in China.  The title of the book was first seen in the opera "The Peony Pavilion" in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

    "Zeng Guang Xian Wen" is a collection of various adages and proverbs from ancient times to the present in China.  After continuous additions by Zhou Xitao, a writer in the Qing Dynasty, it was changed to the current appearance, which is called "Zengguang Xianwen in the Past", commonly known as "Zengguang Xianwen".

    The full text of "Enhancing the Worthy Essays of the Past" (Part 1)

    In the past, the sages taught you earnestly.  The collection of rhymes is enlarged, and it is more seen and heard.  Viewing the present should learn from the past, and the past cannot make the present.  Know yourself and the enemy, compare your heart with your heart.  Drink wine with friends, and sing poems to people.  Knowing all over the world, how many people can know each other?  Reunion is like first acquaintance, and there is no resentment until the end.  Know the nature of fish near the water, and know the sound of birds near the mountains.  It is easy to rise and retreat, and it is easy to reverse and return to the villain.  When it is shipped, gold becomes iron, and when it arrives, iron is like gold.  Reading must be intentional, and a word is worth a thousand gold.  When you meet people and say three points, you can't give up all your heart.  Deliberately planting flowers will not bloom, but unintentionally planting willows to make shade.  Painted painting difficult to draw tiger bone, Clothes make the man.  Money is like dung, benevolence and righteousness are worth thousands of gold.  It is not intentional to go down the beach under the flowing water, but it is unintentional when the white clouds come out of Xiuzhou.  At that time, if you didn't climb high and look up, who would believe that the east flow was deep?  Lu Yao knows horsepower, and time sees people's hearts.  If two people have the same heart, gold can be bought without money; if one person has the same heart, money can hardly buy a needle.  It is easy to meet each other, but it is difficult to live for a long time.  Horses are weak because they are thin, and people are not romantic because they are poor.  Forgiving is not an idiot, and an idiot will not forgive.  A relative is not like a relative, but a non-pro is like a relative.  Whether it is beautiful or not, the water in my hometown;  Yinghua is still afraid of the old age of spring, how can she teach people to spend spring in vain?  If you don't drink and go back when you meet, the peach blossoms at the mouth of the cave will also laugh at people.  Don't let the pink lady grow old, don't teach the poor to be poor.  You don't know how to welcome guests at home, and you don't know your master until you go out.  Scutellaria baicalensis is not false, ferulicum is not true.  If guests come and ignore the host, they are unscrupulous guests.  If a good guest doesn't care about it, I'm afraid it's a fool.  No one cares about the poor living in the busy city, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.  Who doesn't talk behind their backs, who doesn't talk about others?  If you have money, you speak the truth, but if you have no money, you speak the truth.  If you don't believe me, just look at the wine in the banquet and persuade the rich first.  Make money in the busy city and settle down in peace.  Come like wind and rain, go like dust.  In the Yangtze River, the waves behind push the waves ahead, and newcomers in the world overtake old ones.  The near-water buildings get the moon first, and the sunny flowers and trees come in spring as early as possible.  The ancients did not see the current month, but this month once illuminated the ancients.  First come to be the king, and then to be the minister.  Mo Daojun travels early, and there are even early pedestrians.  Don't believe in straightness and straightness, and guard against benevolence and inhumanity.  There are straight trees in the mountains, but there are no straight people in the world.  Self-hate branches without leaves, don't blame the sun for eccentricity.  Everyone is fate, and it is not in the slightest.  The plan for a year lies in spring, and the plan for a day lies in morning.  The plan of a family lies in harmony, and the plan of a lifetime lies in diligence.  Responsibility for others, responsibility for yourself, forgiveness for others.  Keep your mouth shut and guard against your will.  I'd rather be wronged by others than by me.  Be careful again and again, the first thing is not to deceive your heart.  The body of a tiger is still close, but the poison of a human is unbearable.  Those who talk about right and wrong are right and wrong people.  Far water is hard to put out near fire, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.  There are many brothers with wine and meat, how have you ever seen one person in adversity?  Human feelings are as thin as paper, and world affairs are like a chess game.  There are thousand-year-old trees in the mountains, and it is rare to meet a hundred-year-old person in the world.  Take a little rest and bear a heavy load, and don't persuade others with light words.  Don't join the crowd if you have no money, and don't seek relatives if you are in trouble.  If you don't frown in your life, there should be no teeth-gnashing people in the world.  Scholars are the treasure of the country, and Confucianism is the treasure on the table.  If you want to stop drinking, keep your eyes open to see the drunk.

    [2] gift money

    Also known as "gift money", it means offering as a gift.  From "Shi Lun" quoted in Volume 836 of "Taiping Yulan": "Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty set up a mansion in the West Garden, sold it as a noble, and gave it as gift money. The money was accumulated like a house, and it was sealed with lacquered books."

    Usually it is a gift money given by relatives and friends when there are weddings and funerals at home.

    In ancient times, one tael of silver was equivalent to 1,000 copper coins, which can also be said to be equivalent to 1,000 yuan now.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
