Yixing County has a Fantai Lord (Wan Limen), his father, Mr. Wan Yanzhai, when he was still a scholar, his family was quite poor, but his temperament was generous and upright, he never took injustice, and he was brave and in distress. Even if he compromised himself, he would try his best to help Zhou Ji. Although his reputation was tainted, he did not care about it.

He had taught in the countryside, and one New Year's Eve he walked home. Halfway through, he met a middle-aged woman who was crying as he walked. Mr. Wan was surprised and asked what was going on, but she did not answer. Mr. Wan insisted, and she said angrily, "Everyone who travels has something on their mind. Whenever you have time, you can tell everyone in detail!"

Seeing that she spoke harshly and looked sad, the gentleman comforted her and said, "I'm not asking you casually. It's really urgent, tell me, maybe I can think of something for you."

The woman said, "My husband is a land insurance company. He lost more than thirty taels of government money. He was imprisoned and tortured every day to recover the money he owed. When I went to visit the prison, he said that he could no longer support it. If he could not pay in full when it was due, it would be a capital offense. We have a young daughter, and she told me to sell it quickly to get to the official bank. I followed my husband's advice and asked the matchmaker to sell my daughter. The matchmaker took advantage of the danger of others and pretended to be the end of the year. No one bought it. He deliberately lowered the price and only sold it for ten thousand. Remembering that losing his daughter could not save my husband. After careful consideration, there is no way, so I have to sell myself to solve the problem. I am sad that my husband is trapped in prison, my daughter is humiliated and used as a concubine, and I can't keep myself. In a blink of an eye, the family will be separated, and I can't

The man said, "Thirty taels is not a very difficult matter. Does your husband have no relatives or friends to borrow money to temporarily, so he has to do this?"

The woman sighed and said, "Sir, it's easy to say. Among his relatives, those who are poor and can't take care of themselves and have a little extra money have long avoided the wind, and they can't find anyone when they beg to see each other. Who is willing to give a penny to save people in distress! Sir, please don't ask, so as not to delay my business!" After saying that, he whimpered and left.

Mr. Wan stopped her and said, "You don't have to be like that. Although my family is small, I can still raise thirty gold. Your daughter has been sold. If you have money, can you redeem it?"

The woman cried and said, "If I can be lucky to be pitied by Mr., my daughter has not yet made a contract for sale. After returning the money, she can get it back immediately."

The gentleman took out twelve gold from his bosom and handed it to her, saying, "Take this money first, and wait for me somewhere in the city tomorrow. Then I will make up the money in full!"

The woman immediately knelt down, knelt, and thanked him. She asked for his surname and residence, and said, "Bring my daughter back tomorrow and send her to the mansion to work."

The gentleman smiled and said, "Don't say that! I pity the separation of your flesh and blood, and I don't want your daughter. Without telling her his name or address, he turned around and left. After a few steps, he turned around and said, "Come early tomorrow, don't delay the big thing yourself!" The woman answered tearfully: "Okay!" She took the money and left.

The gentleman returned home, and breakfast was not yet ready. The lady asked him for money for teaching so that he could buy rice. The gentleman murmured, "A year of hard work has been wasted! The mountain road is rough, how many times I fell, and I almost fell into a deep valley, how can I take care of the wallet in my hand?"

The madam knew that he was good at helping others in distress, and said with a smile, "If you fall and lose it, it will be easy to find it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to save people again!The gentleman said, "Exactly! But silver is not enough." So he told the lady the truth.

The lady was virtuous by nature, and without complaining, she said approvingly: "This is a great good deed. But it's the end of the year, where can I raise twenty gold? And since you promised others, you can't stop it. You can also leave things at home for the New Year. Hurry up and think of a way, don't be distracted by family affairs!"

The gentleman happily walked out of the house, ran a few relatives and friends, and only borrowed more than ten gold, which was not enough. Remembering that there are moneylenders in the county seat, but they must use the goods as collateral, otherwise even the relatives will not want to lend a penny, the gentleman thought to himself: "This is urgent, there is no other way, and there is nothing in the hurry, what should I do!"

The gentleman had been keeping the key to the door of the ancestral hall, but he actually took the tables, chairs, doors and windows in the ancestral hall as collateral at night and borrowed ten gold. The clan did not know. The next day, he took the money to the appointed place, and the woman had already arrived. The gentleman took out the money and gave it to her and hurried home.

The woman quietly followed behind and saw that the husband had talked with someone on the road. The woman asked the man for his name and address. Not long after, she and her husband led their daughter to the husband's house to thank him and asked to keep her as a handmaid.

The gentleman saw that the daughter was not yet ten years old and looked very good, so he said, "This daughter is very good-looking, but find a good son-in-law for her, bring her back quickly, don't make me unjust!" They refused firmly. They had to kneel down together and leave in gratitude.

On the first day of the new year, the whole clan came to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. Seeing that the temple was empty, they were shocked and thought they had been robbed. The gentleman tried his best to confess to the clan: "I was short on money at the end of the year, so I temporarily borrowed it as money. I beg everyone to wait for me to return to the museum and get the money to redeem the furniture!" The clan were all angry, shouting and scolding, and the gentleman was silent without refutation, neither ashamed nor angry.

At that time, the patriarch, a certain old gentleman, knew that the gentleman had always been loyal, and he was in a hurry. He suspected that there must be a reason for this, so he advised everyone to go back first, and then discuss the matter three days later, and everyone dispersed.

The patriarch came to his husband's house alone and quietly asked his wife about the situation. After learning the truth, he said happily, "This is also a great good deed! I will definitely be admitted in the autumn exam this year. But if I steal the things in the temple without a small punishment, someone will follow suit in the future."

So they gathered the whole clan and told them about the theft and mortgage of Mr. Ye, and said, "He should be temporarily expelled from the temple. The period is not far away, and he will be allowed to return to the temple when he passes the exam and gets a good report." Everyone agreed, and Mr. Ye was calm and didn't care.

In the autumn test, as expected, in the victory, received the gift of Lu Ming feast after returning to the village, the patriarch for his feast to celebrate.

Mr. later became Tongzhou Xuezheng and gave birth to two sons. The second son was Lord Limen Fantai. Everyone thought it was retribution for kindly saving people in distress.
