During the reign of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, there was a member of the Song Dynasty in Qinglong Town, and the family had a thousand acres of fertile land, and mules and horses were in front of the door. He not only managed farming, but also ran the silk business, so his fame spread far and wide.

Song Yuanwai was originally married to Yao shi, shrewd and beautiful, and the two were in love. However, in the blink of an eye, Yao shi has been married for ten years and has never been pregnant. Therefore, Song Yuanwai is often troubled by this matter, and Song Yuanwai's old mother, Mrs. Song, is even more restless and sad, and she is even sick in bed. In order to comfort his mother, and to have someone inherit the family business of the Song family, Song Yuanwai politely proposed to Yao shi to take concubines. Although Yao shi refused in his heart, seeing that his mother-in-law's heart was not cured, and secretly blamed himself for not being able to have children, he had to agree. In the early winter of this year, Song Yuanwai married a daughter from a poor family in the countryside, named Jiaojiao, who was 18 years old.

This Jiaojiao really lived up to the expectations of the Song family, and she became pregnant within three months of marriage. However, what made the Song family even more surprised was that Yao shi, who had been infertile for ten years, was also pregnant, which was really double happiness! Since then, Mrs. Song's condition has gradually improved, and she can get out of bed. She only wants to hold her two grandchildren as soon as possible! As for Song Yuanwai, seeing the prosperity of the people is even more overjoyed. The next summer, although the two ladies were to give birth around the Mid-Autumn Festival, he had an important silk business to do. So, after arranging for the maids to serve the two wives well, he went to Hangzhou with confidence.

The stars moved around, and she didn't realize that it was the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. That evening, the two wives had colic in their abdomenat the same time, and they gave birth almost at the same time. When the old lady Song heard the good news, she hurriedly ordered the maid to carry the two babies over and let her see enough. Old Lady Song had already prepared two identical flower bag quilts, and she wanted to replace the two babies with flower bag quilts herself, and then give them their respective names. The servant hurriedly carried the babies over, and the old lady Song hurriedly changed the flower bag quilts for the two babies, and then she knew that the babies were a boy and a girl. Seeing that one flower and one fruit were added, the grandchildren and grandchildren were both, and she was so happy that she couldn't help but smile. After changing the new quilts, she named the baby boy Yunlong and the baby girl Caifeng. Old Mrs. Song picked up Yunlong and Caifeng for a while, and sometimes picked up Yunlong and Caifeng at the same time. After dawdling and making out for a while, she asked the servant to send Yunlong and Caifeng back.

When Jiaojiao took over the baby, the more she looked at the baby, the more she felt that something was wrong. She hurriedly opened the quilt of the flower bag and saw that she had fainted — the baby was a woman! After Jiaojiao woke up, regardless of her weak body, she cried and cried incessantly, convinced that her son had been replaced; and Yao shi insisted that she gave birth to a son, and of course she was not willing to exchange babies with Jiaojiao; as for Mrs. Song, she only knew that she had grandchildren, but she did not care about who the male and female children were born for. Besides, the servants agreed that no matter who gave birth to boys and daughters were all descendants of the Song family. As a result, the Song family compound was in turmoil for a while, and the chickens and dogs were restless. Mrs. Song had no choice but to send servants to travel day and night to call her son Song Yuanwai back as soon as possible to decide.

When Song Yuanwai hurried back home, that Jiaojiao had already hired another nanny to take care of Caifeng. She went back to her parents' house and went to the county yamen and the county magistrate's office to beat drums and shout injustice.

On this day, the county magistrate sent the yamen to Song Yuanwai and the two wives, and carried the baby boy to the county yamen to listen to the trial. After Song Yuanwai and the others obeyed the order of the county yamen, the county magistrate changed the rules of hearing cases in the lobby in the past, but temporarily set up tables and chairs by the pond in the garden behind the county yamen. Song Yuanwai and the others were suspicious, but they saw the county magistrate sitting on the imperial chair with a dignified gaze, and the attendants on both sides stood solemnly and fiercely angry, so not majestic! Song Yuanwai and the others hurriedly knelt down. The county magistrate ordered the waiter to carry the baby boy up, looked at him for a while, and scolded Jiaojiao: "This baby was born to you?"

Jiaojiao kowtowed and cried, "Master Qingtian, the conscience of heaven and earth, this cloud dragon was born to me!"

Tang County Magistrate asked, "What is the evidence?"

Jiaojiao replied, "The moment I gave birth to Yunlong, although my body was tired, my mind was still clear, and of course I could tell if it was a man or a woman. Besides, I am younger than Sister Yao, Yunlong is naturally chubby, and Caifeng is much thinner."

Tang County magistrate twisted his beard for a moment, then turned to Yao shi and said, "Did you hear what Jiaojiao said?"

Yao shi tearfully said: "I heard it. But Yunlong was born to me. I don't believe it, there is a black mole the size of a bean on the bend of his left knee, please learn from it!"

Tang County Magistrate ordered the waiter to open the flower bag quilt to check, and indeed so.

Jiaojiao kowtowed and shouted, "As soon as Yunlong was born, he hugged it for the old lady to see, and when he brought it back, he actually replaced it with a baby girl. Tian Yunlong was raised by Sister Yao these days, and of course she could even see Yunlong's sweat pores. How can the big black mole of beans be evidence? Please call the shots for me!" The public said that it was fair, and the old woman said that the old woman was right, but it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake for a while, and the people present were in an uproar for a while.

The county magistrate immediately ordered the attendants to carry the cloud dragon into the nearby attic, so that he could get the truth out and hand it over to his biological mother. Then he turned to Song Yuanwai and said, "As the head of the family, the two ladies will give birth at the same time, but you will not return. As the father of the wife, are you guilty?"

Member Song repeatedly said, "The villain only cares about business, if he misses a major event, he will be convicted!"

County Magistrate Tang asked, "In your opinion, what should be done?"

Song Yuanwai replied, "In fact, who Yunlong was born to is my parent-child, but I am not at home, and it is difficult for me to determine who Yunlong's biological mother is."

County Magistrate Tang snapped: "Yao shi and Jiaojiao, there must be a bad person in the middle! As their husband, you are helpless, and I, County Magistrate Tang, have only one move."

Song Yuanwai said anxiously, "Please make it clear quickly!"

County Magistrate Tang smiled and said, "If you leave Yunlong in the human world, your family will never get along. Anyway, you will add another child in the future, so get rid of this evil seed!"

Song Yuanwai exclaimed, "County Lord, absolutely not!" At the same time, Yao shi and Jiaojiao also cried and shouted, "Wan-wan-no-but!"

County Magistrate Tang ignored it at all and shouted at the attic, "Quickly throw that little scumbag into the pond!" As soon as he had finished speaking, the servant flashed out of the attic, ran to the pond with three feet and two steps, and threw the cloud dragon with the flower bag quilt in his arms into the water with a "tom" sound. The flower bag quilt took a few risks in the water, it must be the cloud dragon struggling!

At the moment when the waiter threw the cloud dragon into the pond, Song Yuanwai immediately passed out and was unconscious; at that moment, Yao shi only knew that she was still kneeling there blankly; only Jiaojiao stood up abruptly, calling and howling and rushing towards the pond. A few yamen came forward to stop him without stopping him, and with a "plop" sound, Jiaojiao threw himself into the pond. Fortunately, the two yamen jumped down to rescue, and Jiaojiao was rescued after only a few sips of water. After Jiaojiao was rescued ashore, he ran madly to the county magistrate of Tang: "Stupid officer, I will fight with you! Return my son!" A few yamen came forward to stop, and the county magistrate of Tang was saved from the collision. He calmly passed the order: "Take Yunlong out for me!" In an instant, the waiter brought out a baby wrapped in a red envelope from the attic. At this time, Song Yuanwai, who woke up, and Jiaojiao, who stopped making noise, were confused for a while, and only Yao shi was still kneeling on the ground in a daze.

The county magistrate took the baby from the servant and said to Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, you are the birth mother of this child. Can you see if it is Yunlong?"

Jiaojiao didn't care that her clothes were soaked, so she hurriedly took the baby and looked at it again and again, then kissed the baby with tears and shouted, "It's my son! My Yunlong is back!"

Song Yuanwai saw that Yunlong had not been thrown into the water, and he was overjoyed. Seeing that his son had awarded Jiaojiao again, he thought about it for a while, felt that it was reasonable, and hurriedly went forward to Kowtow to the county magistrate of Tang.

It turned out that the one wrapped in the quilt was a big fresh carp weighing about ten catties.
