Volume 20 Li Kerang's empty letter and Liu Yuanpu's twin sons (3)

Zhang and Chunlang each cried until they died and then came back to life. Zhang said: "It's so miserable for me and my widow! What should I do if Mr. Liu refuses to be a guest?" Chunlang said: "Now there is nothing we can do, so we have to obey the last order." My dad knows people best, and maybe he is a good person. ?Zhang is about to check his bag, and there is still a cent left. When Yuan came, Li Kerang was extremely lonely and poor, and he was a very clean man. It has been less than a month since I took office. Although I have a few people, I have already exhausted them due to medical treatment. Thanks to the help of my colleagues, I will buy a coffin for burial and leave it in the government office. The mother and son cried and paid homage day and night. After the period of Qiqi, they followed their last words and sent the coffin to Fuqiu Temple. After packing some small luggage and taking a suicide note, I stayed overnight at Xiaoxing and took the road to Luoyang County.

But it was said that Liu Yuanpu was playing classical music in his study one day, when the doorman reported: There are two mother and son outside, who are named Xiyue people. They are close relatives of the master, and they have a book to pay their respects. Yuan Pu was suspicious and thought: "Where can I have such a distant relative? Let me invite you in." The mother and son came forward and had finished saluting. Yuan Pu said, "Where did I meet Xian mother and son? I have actually forgotten it, so I begged for details." Li Chunlang smiled and said: "My mother and nephew actually never got to know each other." The late king was a close friend of his uncle. Yuan Pu then asked for his name. Chunlang said: "My ancestor Li Xun, whose courtesy name was Kerang, and whose mother was Zhang." The nephew's name is Yanqing and his courtesy name is Chunlang. Originally a Cantonese surname from Western China. The late emperor was exiled to the capital because he was taking an examination. Later, when he got the title, he was awarded the title of Yin of Qiantang County. He died in January. When he was dying, he felt pity for my mother and son who had no one to rely on. He said that Uncle Liu from Luoyang was a close friend since he was a child. After his death, he sent a handwritten letter to me, asking him to come to pay homage to him. Therefore, when the mother and son build a house, there are many alarms. ?When Yuan Pu heard this, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Chunlang presented the book, and Yuan Pu was surprised when he read the fifteen words on the seal. When I opened it, I found it was a blank piece of paper. He was startled and kept silent. After thinking about it for a while, Meng Keli realized in his heart: "It must be this reason. I won't tell him now. I will just teach him and his son how to do what they want." When Zhang's mother and son saw him pondering, they just said they would not tolerate it, but they didn't know that he had such a great kindness! After Yuan Pu received the book, he said to the two of them: "Brother Li is my best friend for eight times. I hope he will meet again." We met, but who knew we were ancient people? Poor! Poor! Now your mother and son are my own flesh and blood, so they can just live here. ? Then he asked Mrs. Wang to come out and tell her where she came from. She thought she was my sister-in-law. Chunlang regarded himself as his son and nephew, and held a banquet in honor of the two of them. In the wine room, they mentioned that Li Jun Lingshu was in Rensuo Temple, and Yuan Pu agreed to arrange the funeral. Mrs. Wang had a detailed discussion with Mr. Zhang and found out that he had been posthumous for two months. After the wine dispersed, he sent his mother and son to the south building to rest. All the utensils and utensils were prepared, and several pairs of servants were assigned to serve him. Three meals a day are very delicious. Zhang's mother and son were so grateful that he took him in. Who knew they were so attentive and grateful? After a while, Yuan Pu respected Zhang more and more when he saw Zhang's gentle nature and Chun Lang's talent and dexterity, as well as his modesty and maturity. At the same time, he sent people to Qiantang to help the coffin.

Suddenly one day, I was sitting with Mrs. Wang and burst into tears. The lady hurriedly asked why, and Yuan Pu said: "I think Mr. Li, with his appearance and ambition, will definitely succeed in his future." If I had such a son, I could die without regret. This year's glory has gone, and my son's breath is gone, so I don't feel sad about it. The lady said: "I have repeatedly advised your husband to take a concubine, but he refused." Now it is decided that Xianggong will find a room on one side and take care of Yinan. Yuan Pu said: "Madam, don't say this. Although I am old, you are still middle-aged." If heaven does not destroy my family, how can you not have children? If destiny is destined to destroy me, even if the concubine comes to me, it will be useless. ?After that, he went out. This time, the wife decided to take a concubine with her husband. She knew how to discuss it with him and would definitely resist it. So he privately asked his family to call the matchmaker, Mrs. You must carefully find someone with good moral character and good looks, or you will be willing to fall in love with me. ?Xue Po agreed one by one and left. A few days later, Mrs. Xue looked for a few of them and took a look at them, but none of them caught her fancy. Xue Po said: "Women here have no choice but to behave like this." Only in the capital of Bianliang where all the five parties gather together can there be outstanding women. ?It happened that Wang Wenyong had other business and wanted to go to Beijing. His wife entrusted him with a hundred gold secrets and asked Po Xue to go with him to look for it. Po Xue also has a matchmaker who wants to go to Beijing, so she has the best of both worlds, so it's no big deal to set off.

Now let me tell you another reason. It is said that there was a Jinshi in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Bianjing. His surname was Pei, his name was Xi, and his courtesy name was Anqing. He was fifty years old, and his wife, Zheng, died early. He had a single daughter named Lansun, who was twenty-eight years old and was an unparalleled guest. Pei Anqing served as a Langguan for several years and was promoted to the governor of Xiangyang. Someone said to him: "Officials have always been poor, but now that I have received this wonderful appointment, from now on I will only worry about wealth and not poverty." An Qing said with a smile: "Where does wealth come from? Every time I see a greedy and cruel villain, he is only interested in profit. He only makes the people under these families sell their children and take care of their wives to enrich their pockets. This is a true wolf-hearted person! The emperor teaches I am the father and mother of the people, how can I be taught to harm my people? I am going here to only eat a cup of fresh water in Xiangyang. It's normal for people to be poor. It's enough to get the salary from the court to avoid being cold and discouraged. Why seek wealth? Pei Anqing determined to be a good official, so he chose an auspicious day and took his daughter to take office. Otherwise, I arrived in Xiangyang one day. After being here for half a year, he managed to make the government prosperous and prosperous, and his poems were clear and simple. There are a few rumors among the people, saying:

The street in front of Xiangyang Mansion once reached Pei Tiantai.

The clerk in the sixth house went to take a nap, and the clerk in the door went to chop firewood.

Time flies, and it’s the summer of June again. One day, Pei Anqing and Lan Sun had lunch, and it was extremely hot. An Qing ordered the well water to be drawn to relieve the fever, and the water from the well was about to arrive in an instant. An Qing ate two cups and then asked her daughter to eat.

Lansun took a few sips and said: "Dad, this is such fresh water, how could Daddy eat Nuoduo alive!" An Qing said: "Don't say such bad words! As long as you and I have this water, it's okay." He is a god, how can he be too bland? Lansun said: "Dad, how can you see that you will lose your blessing? At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say how many princes, grandsons and princes mixed snow lotus roots with ice and floating melons and sinking plums." My father is a prince and a prince, so if you drink this cup of fresh water, it's too pedantic for you to enjoy it!" An Qing said: "My son is not familiar with affairs, so just listen to me. Suppose that prince and grandson, relying on the glory of their ancestors and carrying the money accumulated by their ancestors, do not know how to farm, and have no career, but only want to be happy, and they will be used. But he doesn't know that even in the midst of great joy and sorrow, there will eventually come a time when the horse dies and the gold runs out; even if it were not the case, he was born with these blessings. Your father comes from a poor background and is responsible for the imperial government and the civil society. You must not compare yourself to him. There is also that group of people who, if they follow the way of heaven, serve as generals, wearing heavy armor and holding spears in their hands, they will not be able to rest day and night, and they will not be able to protect their lives. There are also those farmers who plant lotus flowers, engage in business and labor, and work hard on Longmo, running around in the mud, raining and sweating, and they can't help but be exposed to the sun. Is your father more of a god than he is? There are those lower class people who make one mistake and are convicted of a crime. They are imprisoned, whipped and flogged all the time, and their hands and feet are shackled at all times. Where the sun is shining, let alone cold water, even mud and juice cannot seduce it. You can't live if you want to live, you can't die if you want to die, my father and mother's skin is itchy, how can it be that they have to suffer? Isn't your father a god compared to him? I see one or two hundred criminals in the prison department today, and I want to banish them. Every time he was in prison, he would be given cold water once a day, and he would be taken care of again in the autumn. Lansun said: "Dad, you can't make mistakes." The criminals in prison are all bad people. If you let them go easily, if something unexpected happens, you will suffer a lot. Anqing said: "I treat people with good intentions, how can they fail me? I just assign a prisoner to guard the prison door." ?It’s also a good idea. Just because of this section, there are different teachings:

All the prisoners who deserved death were escaped from the net, and the governor of Shiren County suffered a disaster.

The next day, An Qing went to court and assigned the jailers to place the prisoners in the prison. He was given cold water every day and had to be carefully guarded. The jailer agreed. That day he went to the prison, released the prisoners, and gave them each cold water. The prisoners were closely guarded so that there would be no danger. After about ten days, the prisoners became slack. Suddenly it was the first day of the seventh lunar month, and it was the old custom in the prison: every first day of the new moon, a profit was given to the market. After burning the paper that day, all the prisoners went to have a drink and have fun. We started eating in the afternoon and continued until dusk, making everyone very drunk. Those prisoners, who first saw the leniency in prison, have become more and more determined. There are a few knowledgeable people among them, and some secret weapons are hidden around them. Seeing that everyone was drunk that day, he took the opportunity to have an attack. Around the second watch, there was a shout in the prison, and one or two hundred prisoners started to attack together. First, kill the prisoner who was in prison, break out the car door, and cut down the jailer's prisoner one by one. Most of the people he encountered were stabbed one by one. While some were hiding in the darkness and listening, they could only hear shouting: "Your Majesty is usually kind and virtuous, so I don't want to kill him!" Instead, he went to various government offices and killed several assistant officials. It was the Qingping Festival at that time, and the city gate was not yet closed. Everyone shouted and fled out of the city. Exactly:

The turtle takes off its golden hook, swings its tail and shakes its head, and never comes back.
