During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, He and Chen from Guangdong were both scholars in the same year's examination, and they were both local millionaires. Coupled with similar interests, they became close friends.

Later, he fell seriously ill, took his son, and tearfully told Chen: "My son is very smart, but he is naughty and naughty. I am worried that after my death, he will not be able to stand on his own two feet. I hope you, brother, will help me teach and reprimand him in our relationship, and don't let him ruin the reputation of my He family. I will also be grateful for your kindness under Jiuquan."

When Chen heard this, he held He's hand and replied, "Little brother will definitely live up to his trust. Brother He, you can rest assured." After He's death, He Chen, He's son, really did not do his job properly.

Chen remembered He's dying trust. As He Chen's uncle, he found He Chen to reprimand him, wanting He Chen to cut off contact with the hooligans and study hard to get a reputation. As a result, He Chen not only did not listen, but also gradually cut off relations with Chen.

Chen knew that He Chen could not be persuaded by words, so he found a prodigy who was proficient in eating, drinking and playing (a professional gangster who specialized in accompanying the powerful in ancient times), and paid the prodigy to play with He Chen.

This prostitute was proficient in all kinds of ways to have fun, and he was good at reading words and expressions. He would prepare everything He Chen wanted to do in advance, such as gambling, watching plays, and visiting brothels. Of course, all the expenses were paid by He Gongzi.

He Chen was originally an extravagant and wasteful master, and with the "guidance and teaching" of prostitutes, spending money was like running water. Although the family had money, they couldn't afford to sit back and eat, let alone waste it. After a few years, He Chen's family had no money.

The caricaturist suggested to He Chen, "Young Master He, although you don't have any money, you still have the antique jade and famous calligraphy and painting that your father has accumulated at home. If you sell these, you will have money to enjoy."

As soon as He Chen heard that this was the reason, he squandered all the valuable things in the house. And the buyers who took over were all found by prostitutes. All the things in He Chen's house were sold at a low price, and the prostitutes got a lot of commission in the middle.

Two years later, Chen's family had nothing valuable but the house and land, and his wife was also angry with him. Seeing that He Chen had no oil and water to squeeze, he left without saying goodbye. He Chen looked at the house with four walls, remembered Chen's advice to himself, and began to regret it.

A few days later, Chen sent someone to call He Chen to his home and let He Chen study at a private school with his sons. The Chen family was responsible for tuition and living expenses.

He Chen was very grateful in his heart and stayed. When studying, He Chen was a little relaxed, so Chen let his sons laugh at He Chen, so as to motivate He Chen to redouble his efforts and study hard. He Chen also made great progress because of this, writing better and better articles, and soon won the scholar exam.

After being admitted to the Xiucai examination, He Chen wanted to participate in the township examination for the selection of Juren, but he was dependent on others and did not have enough money to go to the provincial capital. He Chen wanted to borrow money from Chen, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

On this day, Chen had a big feast at home for guests, and relatives and friends came to participate. Chen invited He Chen to sit in the VIP seat, ordered someone to take a thick account book, put it in front of He Chen, and then said to He Chen:

When your father entrusted you to me, but you were young and full of energy, I couldn't persuade you to discipline you. So I secretly arranged for prostitutes to hang out with you, deceiving you to spend all your property. Let you know that the heart is sinister and the world is cold.

In fact, the antique jade, celebrity calligraphy and painting that you sold at a low price were all purchased by me in the end. Even the property that the sex worker personally cheated on you is with me. Of course, the sex worker also took some of your property. I counted that he only took two-tenths of it, and the rest is intact.

There will be a lot of accounts written in this account book, which is very clear and clear, you can check it. Now that you have changed your past and learned something, I have finally lived up to your father's spirit in heaven.

Of course, I am also very pleased with your change. With your talents, you will definitely be included in the exam. Your wife has passed away, and my daughter has also grown up. I want you to be my son-in-law. What do you think?

He Chen listened and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He didn't know that Chen had such good intentions for himself, and now he wanted to betroth his beloved daughter to him. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to nod again and again to express his willingness.

At this time, the prostitute also stood up and apologized to He Chen and Chen. Relatives and friends learned the truth and praised Chen as a benevolent and righteous gentleman who made a promise.

Back then, when He Chen took the exam, Chen chose an auspicious day for He Chen and his daughter to get married. Then he returned all the He family's property purchased to He Chen, and gave his daughter a generous dowry, achieving a story of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness.
