One.
During the Ming Dynasty, there was such a family in Shuntianfu in Jizhou, the head of the household was surnamed Liu, called Liu Yi, married his wife Chen, and gave birth to a son named Liu Yun. Liu Yi's family is still relatively wealthy, there are dozens of acres of land handed down by the ancestors, and there are three shops at the east end of cross street in the city, renting people to store goods. The land and paving are used to collect rent, which is enough to make ends meet.
Liu Yi also contacted the merchants to be a broker, help people introduce a deal, which has a job to recruit a short-term worker or something, to Zhang Luo Zhangluo, to collect some errands and hard money. The family lived a harmonious and beautiful life, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, Liu Yi died of illness, leaving Chen and Liu Yun orphaned and widowed mother two.
The Chen clan swore not to marry another woman, and looked at his son Liu Yun like an eyeball, pampered and habitual, and did not say a word of seriousness. This Liu Yun lost his father's teachings, and his mother blindly doted on him, and he grew crooked when he grew up. Books are not easy to read, words are not easy to write, all day long with a group of unprofessional children to fool around, and then a little older also learned to gamble money and eat wine.
This Liu Yunren looked good, and with his father can speak the Tao, all day long also to help Zhang Luo buy and sell or something, but the money made never to take home, are sent to the casino and pub, his mother said him, he began to use clever words to fool, and then he stared at the eyes and played horizontally. Liu Chen said that he could not fight, and he was afraid of ruining his reputation to the outside world, and he also said that he told people that his son was so good that he knew how to earn money to support his family. The person behind him did not know that he had secretly cried several times.
Liu Yun was older when he came and went, and his mother was anxious and wanted to marry him Zhang Luo to marry a daughter-in-law so that he could receive his heart. Her family's life is still quite passable, this Liu Yun is still quite picky, the left said one is unwilling, the right said one is not OK, always said to find their own heart. Picking and choosing like this is in my twenties. Liu Chen's eyes were on fire, but there was nothing he could do.
Two.
On this day, Liu Yun came out of the house after eating the steaming soup cake made by her mother and wandered the streets. I slipped to Cross Street, remembered that the shop on the east end of the street should collect rent, and thought of collecting the rent, so that I could go to the casino to enjoy it.
Just walking to the east end of the street, next to Wang Ji Bu Zhuangzi came out of the two people, an old woman and a small lady, and the back head of the Bu Zhuang Wang treasurer was sending it out, it looked like his relatives or something. Liu Yun inadvertently looked up, and at a glance he saw the little lady, only this time Liu Yun's soul flew. Liu Yunxin said, "How can this little lady look so good?" If this is my daughter-in-law, I am happy to bring her foot washing water every day! ”
People have gone far, and he is still stretching his neck to see it! It took half a day to come back to his senses, turn around and enter the cloth village. The treasurer recognized Liu Yun and hurriedly greeted him: "Where is Liu Xiaoxianggong going?" ”。“ Oh, Uncle Wang, isn't this the old one? Stop by to see you. It was almost my mother's birthday, and I thought about buying a piece of cloth to honor her old man. "Liu Yun is extraordinarily polite today, he was born with a character flow, and he is a foreigner, his mouth will also say, he will come to things, and he does not know the details when he is a good one, and they all look up to him."
While pretending to pick out fabrics, this Liu Yun chatted with the Wang Treasurer, chatting and chatting, and asked who the Wang Treasurer had just sent. The Wang treasurer said: "That is not an outsider, one of my distant cousins and her daughter-in-law, the female relatives of Li Zhengcun in Li Family Village ten miles outside the city, the two of them went into the city today to buy fabrics." By the way, I was sent some vegetables and other vegetables grown at home. ”
Speaking, he cut the cloth for Liu Yun, Liu Yun took the cloth, rented it, and returned home without stopping. The Treasurer Wang also said in his heart: "Some people also say that this child is not doing his job and is fooling around all day." Young people are not fun. I think this child is good, know filial piety, is a good. ”
Liu Yun arrived at home and his mother still wondered, usually go out less than three in the middle of the night, don't want to come back, what is going on today? Liu Yun stuffed the cloth into his mother, and his mother cried with joy. Her son actually bought her something, and it was the sun coming out of the west. Liu Yun was still a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I see a little lady, hurry up and find a matchmaker!" ”
When Liu Chen heard this, he was very happy and asked busily, "Whose little lady is it?" Liu Yun said everything he had asked from the Wang Treasurer. Liu Chenshi listened very happy, not sluggish at all, carried some things, and immediately went to the west end of the street to find a famous local matchmaker named "Zhang Qiaozui", invited her to say kisses, and promised to thank her after the matter was completed. This "open mouth" also handled things neatly, and came to Liu Yun's house to talk back within two days.
"Zhang Qiaozui" ass has not yet sat down with Liu Chen's boast: "Liu family sister-in-law, where did you hear it, you really have vision, this Little Lady of the Li Family is really a person who chooses one out of a hundred." That look and that temperament is really rare, and there is no work on the kang that can't be done. Her father is a businessman who does business, always not at home, her mother's body is not very good, the family outside the business, take care of her brothers and sisters, are all run by herself. There is nothing in the neighborhood that does not boast. "He also said that the little lady's family said that in a few days her father would come back, saying that she had to look at each other before she could decide." That's what it should be, it should be. Liu Chen was also very happy, Liu Yun came back to listen to it was really a hundred claws scratching his heart, eager for the Li family's father to come back for a while, so that he could go to the door to see him.
Three.
But he said that this old lady of the Li family, since the matchmaker opened her mouth to give Liu Yun a kiss, privately people also inquired. Who to inquire with, naturally it is the treasurer of the King of Buzhuang, and the Treasurer of the King also praised it, saying that it was a good one. That is, the family is not very complete, his father was gone in his early years, but the two mothers lived a life, there was a house and land, the days were OK, and the appearance of the people was also worthy of the big girl Guizhen, even if the young people were fun and unstable, they married the daughter-in-law and received the heart, not to mention that it was a filial piety child, and it was wrong to go anywhere. Old Lady Li thought it was okay when she heard it, and waited for the old man to come back and look at each other.
Don't talk about the Li family, just talk about Liu Yun. Waiting, waiting, waiting for three days, the Li family had no news, and Liu Yun couldn't sit still at home. Just when two fox friends came to him, they didn't care about their mother, and the three of them ran to the tavern to drink. Liu Yun had things in his heart, always thinking about the little lady of the Li family, did not drink much wine, left the two friends, and wandered out by himself.
Soon after coming out to the side of the street, I found a bunch of people around. Liu Yun went into the crowd to see, it turned out to be a bullock cart with a broken axle. There was a pile of goods on the car, and an old man on the side of the car was full of anxiety. Liu Yun is a good thing, there are also people who know him, know that he knows a lot of people, can Zhang Luo, so they instigated him to find a car to solve the urgent need. Liu Yun was good at showing his posture, and he responded with a mouthful, and it didn't take long to find a car, and zhang Luo and the two people tossed the goods to another car.
The old man was so grateful that he took out the silver money to reward him. Liu Yun was praised by everyone, and he was proud of his heart, and he did not ask for remuneration, and let people get the broken car to the car dealership to repair. The old man thanked yo, made an appointment with the car dealer, and came to get it in two days. Liu Yun didn't care either, and for a while everyone dispersed.
A few days later, early in the morning, the matchmaker "opened her mouth" and said hello when she entered the door. "Li Jiacun wrote a letter, and they came back as a family member. Today we will go to the door to see each other. "Liu Yun mother and son are very happy. Hurrying to pick up, Liu Yun changed into new clothes from head to toe, a new round-necked blue robe, a new pair of cloth shoes, set up his own ox cart, loaded up the carefully selected gifts, and went all the way outside the city.
It wasn't long before I arrived at the door of Li Zhengcun's house in Lijia Village. The two sons of the Li family took over, and the two sides made a face-to-face, and the old man and Liu Yun were stunned, and it turned out that the old man was the merchant who broke the ox cart that day. As soon as Old Han Li saw Liu Yun, he was happy in his heart, and said that this offspring brother was a good, enthusiastic person, and could not be wrong. Before I knew anything, I recognized it in my heart, and I was full of smiles and enthusiasm. Liu Yun's brain is good, a look at the smile on the old man's face, I thought it was done, I just inadvertently took the handle, I didn't expect to have this good thing, it is really god help me.
Sure enough, the marriage went very smoothly. The Li family happily accepted the gift and asked their little lady GuiZhen to come out to meet her. The little lady generously came out to see the ceremony. After many days, Liu Yun saw the little lady who was thinking about her heart again, and there was no place for the joyful hands and feet, and Liu Chen's little lady was also very rare when he saw it, so he sent a gold noodle to the girl to insert in her hair. At noon, the Li family prepared a rich wine and dish to entertain the Liu family's mother and son and the matchmaker, and the marriage was completed.
When Liu Yunmu returned home, she began to prepare. Picking up the house, putting things away, three books and six ceremonies is the same as a lot. It didn't take long for the bride to marry into the door. Liu Yun got what he wanted, and a stone in Liu's mother's heart also fell to the ground, thinking that after her son received his heart, he would live a good life with his daughter-in-law, and then give birth to a few big fat grandchildren for himself, and it would be complete.
Four.
Liu Yun's daughter-in-law married home, which was really satisfactory. This little lady of the Li clan Guizhen is really a good, gentle temperament and virtuous, diligent and capable, generous in dealing with people and things, and within a few days all the neighbors praised, saying that the old Liu family burned high incense and married such a good daughter-in-law.
Liu Yun had been messing around at home for some days, and he couldn't stay still. Something is wrong and I'm going out again. On this day, he came out with a few fox friends and ate and drank, and finally killed all four parties in the casino, eating and drinking enough to remember that there were still two people in the family, at this time it was dark, he bought a roast duck, and bought a few meat cakes and rushed home. When he got home, his mother and his daughter-in-law were waiting for him to eat, he had a tooth and a flower, thinking that he was used to going out usually, and he came back in the middle of the night, and he didn't think anything of it. Now that I have a daughter-in-law, I see my daughter-in-law Zhang Luo giving him hot meals, and I still have a little bit of forbearance.
His mother nagged him again that he should not return late, and he said a little impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't be wordy, isn't this coming back?" Gui Zhen glanced at him and said with disgust: "Xiang Gong, the old saying says, when you go out, you must tell, and you must return to your face." When you go out in the morning, you don't give a word, and I am worried about my mother. If you return tonight, our mother said that you are still so impatient with two sentences, it is really unreasonable! Gui Zhen don't look at the gentle nature, but not that cowardly, every sentence is on the reason, Liu Yun feels that he is wrong, accompanied by a smiley face, and hurriedly takes out roast duck and meat cake to please the two mothers. Liu Chen also covered up for his son, Gui Zhen sighed helplessly, and the family did not mention it.
After eating, packing up and stopping, placing the old lady, the two of them returned to the house, and Gui Zhen thought about it in her heart. After being married for so many days, she looked at her husband coldly, but it was not as good as the rumors said. Love face, temperament is still a little grumpy, not respectful to the old woman, all day long there is no serious business, all day idle, long time is not called ah. Now that they are all married, they say that they must not properly discipline him, hoping that he will take the right path, and just today they will persuade and persuade him through his late return.
When Gui Zhen thought about it for a long time, she made up her mind and called hot water to serve Liu Yun to wash up. After washing, Gui Zhen brought hot tea and gave Liu Yun a drink, Liu Yun was comfortable from head to foot, thinking in his heart, there is still a daughter-in-law. He laughed and pulled Guizhen to let her rest, and the two of them sat down to gossip and asked Guizhen what she was doing at home during the day. Gui Zhen smiled: "What can I do in a female Taoist family is nothing more than the work of the family, unlike Xianggong you, who is the pillar of the family, going out hard every day to maintain the livelihood of the family." Liu Yun was a bit ashamed to say in one sentence.
Gui Zhen also said: "We can now collect the rent in the field and the rent of the pavement, but as the saying goes, the family has ten thousand, it is better to enter the day and the penny." In the future, we will still have children, if there are more children, it is not a big deal to sit and eat all day! It is also good to have a positive business student, Xiang Gong you say yes or no? Liu Yunlian nodded his head and said yes, since the daughter-in-law feels that she is standing on top of the sky, then she really has to do something serious for her daughter-in-law to see, pour more money, spend it herself is not convenient, the province does not even have a gambling book, go home to find the daughter-in-law to get money, but also have to be coaxed.
But he said that Liu Yun really listened to his daughter-in-law's words, and went from place to place as a broker, and others were already clever and could talk, and they did it seriously. Gui Zhen was happy in her heart, Liu Yun always took it home to use, she became more and more soft and warm, people praised him in front of him, Liu Yun felt more and more capable. Liu Chen secretly said in his heart that he was getting better and better for his daughter-in-law.
