One day, Chen Ping's brother went to the field alone to do farm work, leaving Chen Ping and his sister-in-law at home. Chen Ping sat reading under a large tree in the courtyard, while his sister-in-law sniffed melon seeds on a stool. Suddenly, the sister-in-law yelled at the family dog: "You give me a distance, I see you annoyed, I get angry, understand?" ”
Chen Ping immediately heard that his sister-in-law was referring to Sang Huai, and in the name of a dog, scolded him for only knowing how to read every day, but he did not produce and did not work in the field. However, Chen Ping's brother had long told Chen Ping that he would do the work in the field himself, and Chen Ping only had to study hard, go on a trip with friends, and make achievements in his studies in order to get ahead, so Chen Ping's brother did not allow Chen Ping to work in the field.
Chen Ping's parents died in his early years, and he lived with his brother Chen Bo's family since he was a child. Before Chen Ping's father died, he had told Chen Ping to study hard, get ahead in the future, and get rid of the dilemma of poverty.
The eldest brother is like a father, and Chen Bo, as Chen Ping's older brother, respectfully obeys his father's instructions. After the death of his parents one after another, a person painstakingly took care of the family's thirty acres of farmland, even if the days were poor and hard, he refused to let Chen Ping work in the field, and repeatedly told Chen Ping to just study hard and live up to his parents' wishes.
Under the care of his brother, Chen Ping never worked in the field, and every day he either studied behind closed doors or went out to socialize, and the neighbors saw that Chen Ping had grown up and did not produce, so it was inevitable that he would have more tongues. And all the agricultural work fell on the brother alone, and the family's income would naturally be less, so Chen Ping's sister-in-law only ate and did not do anything to the little uncle, and she was also very unaccustomed.
Chen Ping looks handsome, plus he reads indoors all day, so he is white and pure. As the saying goes, "a white covers a hundred ugly", Chen Ping is handsome in appearance, plus white and pure, so the appearance is particularly high.
Once, someone asked Chen Ping in public, "Your family is so poor, how can you still eat so strong and white?" Chen Ping's sister-in-law originally hated Chen Ping for not taking care of production, and when others said it, she said something negative and sarcastically said Chen Ping: "There is nothing to eat at home, and usually the poor will eat some rotten dishes.
Brother Chen Bo heard what his daughter-in-law said, and in a fit of anger, he drove his daughter-in-law back to her mother's house and took a break! For this reason, Chen Ping always felt guilty in his heart, believing that he had destroyed the marriage of his brother and sister-in-law.
Later, Chen Bo found a daughter-in-law, with the precedent of his ex-wife being suspended, the later sister-in-law also took good care of Chen Ping, and reached a consensus with Chen Bo in thinking, and the husband and wife were tired and tired, and they also had to support Chen Ping to study, and did not let him work in the field, so as not to delay his study.
It is precisely because of this that it laid the foundation for the later legend of "Chen Ping's thief". Because Chen Ping did not come out all day, and the later sister-in-law supported Chen Ping, so often the eldest brother went out to work, leaving the little uncle and sister-in-law at home, and the sister-in-law and Chen Ping were very harmonious and had good feelings, which inevitably made the noisy neighbor gossip.
In fact, after careful consideration, Chen Ping's claim of stealing his sister-in-law is untenable, and there is no specific historical data to prove that Chen Ping has this practice, and it is highly likely that someone should be jealous of Chen Ping and deliberately frame Chen Ping. And the "Records of History" and "Book of Han" recorded: "Chen Pingyue, subject to hear." With the appearance of such a word, it can be seen that at that time, even the authors of the history books did not trust Chen Ping's theft of his sister-in-law.
Kung Fu does not pay off, Chen Ping in order to uphold his father's order, glorious court, daily painstaking reading of history books, and do not produce, although he was scolded by the first sister-in-law, embarrassed, and humiliated by people with hearts, framed, but Chen Ping has always chosen to be patient, until he has achieved success in his studies, the world has changed, seeing that the time is ripe, he resigned from his brother, first defected to the King of Wei, then turned to Xiang Yu, and finally returned to Liu Bang, becoming an important strategist of Liu Bang, doubling his worth, and never being looked down upon again.
At this time, presumably Chen Ping's first sister-in-law had already cried and fainted, regretting how she had not treated Chen Ping better, or that she had followed Chen Ping's long face, dipped in light, and shared the glory and wealth. In fact, this is because Chen Ping's sister-in-law does not have the ability to recognize people and tolerate people.
On the other hand, Chen Ping's wife's grandfather, Zhang Negative, is a wise man, a figure with great wisdom and a big pattern. At that time, Chen Ping reached the age when he was an adult and was still single. There are two reasons: first, Chen Ping is too poor, and the rich lady can't love him at all; second, Chen Ping is full of historical books, and he doesn't look up to the women of ordinary families, so he has always been a bare stick.
There was a rich local man named Zhang Negative, and his granddaughter, known as Kefu Xing, married five times, and as a result, her husband died, and no one dared to marry her again. Chen Ping read a lot and knows a lot, so there are local people who do funerals, often ask him to help, he relies on going early and returning late, earning some remuneration and subsidizing his brother.
Once, Zhang Negative met chen ping, who was handsome and tall, at the funeral; after the funeral, Zhang Negative secretly followed Chen Ping to an alley near the Chen family and hid in a corner to secretly observe.
Zhang Negative saw a strange scene: although the Chen family was poor and jingled, and even used a broken mat as a door, there were many noble wheel prints outside the door. Zhang Was secretly shocked when he saw this, and he immediately went home and said to his son Zhang Zhong, "I plan to marry my granddaughter to Chen Ping." ”
Zhang Zhong was stunned, secretly wondering if his father was old and confused, and asked: "Chen Ping is a poor and lazy man who does not produce, and the people in the whole county laugh at him, so why do you want to marry your granddaughter to him?" ”
Zhang Negative said: "Chen Ping is dignified and well-read in history books, so how can a person like him be poor and lowly for a long time?" He's just lurking now because the time is not right, and when he turns over, then you can't climb high! ”
Therefore, Zhang Negative put the dowry upside down and married his granddaughter to Chen Ping. Not only that, because Chen Ping was too poor, even the money for the dowry and wedding banquet was paid by Zhang Negative. At that time, zhang negative's move was really to lose his granddaughter and lose money. But Zhang Negative firmed up his opinion, and he also told his granddaughter: "Don't neglect the Chen family because Chen Ping is poor." ”
Later, Chen Ping repeatedly made strange plans to help Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu and establish the Western Han Dynasty, and was given the titles of Marquis of Humu and Marquis of Qu, and Zhang's family became rich. All this of the Zhang family is due to the great wisdom of Zhang Negative, Zhang Negative is like speculating in stocks to read the bottom, buying at the lowest point of Chen Ping, as long as he has always held, you can enjoy the glory and wealth.
