Joke angers old people

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Jiang Ping in Suzhou, who talked casually and informally. One day, he and two students went to visit Bianjing, which was far away from home. All the way, he only cared about the scenery, but missed the hotel. When the three of them walked to a village called Tao Village near Jinggi, it was already dark, and the weather was not beautiful, and it started to rain. The three hurried to a gate building to take shelter from the rain. Jiang Ping stepped forward to push the door, and the second student stopped him: "Brother Jiang, if the master blames you for knocking on the door rashly, what should I do?"

Jiang Ping smiled and said loudly: "This is my Yuezhang house, what's the harm of my son-in-law knocking on Yuezhang's door?"

Just at this moment, two doors of vermilion paint suddenly opened, and an old man came out from inside. It turned out that the old man's surname was Tao, and he was taking a nap in the toilet. He heard Jiang Ping's words clearly and asked, "Who did you say that the old man was his husband-in-law?"

Jiang Ping consciously lost his words, his face was red, and he bowed his head and was speechless. When Tao Yuanwai saw this scene, he already knew it well, so he said to the second student: "If you don't dislike it, please come to the humble house for a while. This scholar is already my son. Unlike the guests, there is no need to come in and guard the door for the old man for the time being." Tao Yuanren entertained the second student at a banquet for the time being.

Let's talk about Jiang Ping being locked outside the gate, thinking about the gaffe of just now, the boss is not interested. Alone, he was very snubbed, thinking of walking away in one breath, but the rain was heavy and the sky was dark, so he was timid and had to swallow his breath and wait patiently.

After about two hours, the rain gradually stopped, and the moon flickered in the clouds. Jiang Ping thought to himself, "Xueyou only cares about yourself, I might as well leave them and go away."

At this moment, someone inside the door suddenly whispered, "Don't go." Jiang Ping heard the words and replied, "I understand." After a while, he heard the door whisper again, "Some things are handed out, you can pack them up." Jiang Ping thought to himself, the two of you rubbed the old man's meal in vain and took other people's things, which is really deceiving.

At that time, I saw two things "flapping" on the wall. When Jiang Ping stepped forward to look, it was two burdens, which were very heavy. He stretched out his hand and pinched them, and they were lumpy, like some gold and silver jewelry.

Jiang Ping thought to himself, this can't be blamed on me for being unjust, and just carried the burden on his shoulders. After walking about twenty steps, he looked back and jumped off the wall. Jiang Ping guessed that it was two schoolmates, but he didn't stop. Jiang Ping walked in front, and the two behind were not in a hurry, just slowly following behind.

After doing this in the middle of the night, when the sky was clear, the two people behind him caught up. Jiang Ping looked back and couldn't help but be surprised. The two people in front of him were not his schoolmates, but two young women. One girl was dressed and had a small face like a fairy; the other maid was dressed and looked very obedient and clever.

Jiang Ping led the two into an inn, saying that the husband and wife went up the mountain to worship Buddha and burn incense. When they passed by this place, the shopkeeper believed it and prepared food for the three of them to eat. Jiang Ping asked the girl about her origin, and the girl said, "My surname is Tao, and my nickname is Xiao'e. I am the daughter of Tao Yuan in Tao Family Village, and my mother is Wang. I was betrothed to the Hu family in my hometown as a marriage when I was young. How can I not marry Mr. Hu, who is idle and does not do his job properly, and grows up to be a chicken breast behind a pot? I don't want to marry him. But my father's order is difficult to violate, and I can only wash my face with tears every day. It just so happens that I have a cousin named Wang Jin, who is young and beautiful. I agreed with him to elope tonight. For some reason, I didn't see him echo during the day. At night, I suddenly heard my father come in and shout, saying that there was a young man in front of the door, who said that this was his husband-in-law's house. I thought to myself that the person I had made an appointment with must have arrived. I hurriedly packed up the jewelry and silver taels, led the maid Cui'er as my company, and came out over the wall. When I saw you walking away with your backpack in front of me, I thought it must be my cousin, but I was afraid that others would see it, so I didn't dare to approach all the way. Now I don't dare to go back,

Jiang Ping was overjoyed when he heard the words, and thought to himself. Could it be that God gave me a beautiful girl because of a joke I made? This marriage is really destined!

At this time, Jiang Ping was also hesitant: if Xiao'e and Cui'er were to be taken home rashly, their parents would surely be puzzled; if they were not taken home, where would they be allowed to live? As the saying goes, people are quick and wise, and he suddenly thought of Ruan Dashan.

Threading a needle and thread into a good relationship

Ruan Dashan was originally a son of a rich family, but because his family was in a fire, all his property was reduced to ashes, so he had to beg for a living with his wife. Seeing his pity, Jiang Ping took out 50 taels of silver from his home and gave it to Ruan Dashan, asking him to do a small business in order to support his family. Unexpectedly, the business was getting bigger and bigger, and now he has become a famous wealthy merchant in Suzhou.

On this day, Ruan Dashan came back from collecting the account. Just as he was taking a cup of tea from his wife, he heard someone knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Ping at a glance and said excitedly, "The benefactor is here, the benefactor is here!"

After entering the house, Jiang Ping told Ruan Dashan about his coincidental encounter with Xiao'e's master and servant, and then Jiang Ping attached himself to Ruan Dashan's ear and explained it like this.

Three days later, Ruan Dashan arrived at the Jiang family and said to Master Jiang, "A few days ago, my servant went to Bianjing to sell silk and satin. On the way, I met an old acquaintance from the suburbs of Bianjing, Miss Tao Yuanwai's family, who ran away from marriage. The servant saw that she was as beautiful as a fairy, and she was well-versed in books and courteous. She refused to escort him back to the mansion, so she took him home without doing business. I asked my wife what she planned, and she said, "I just want to find a master to live a good life with others." Therefore, I thought of my benefactor, Young Master Jiang, who was of good appearance and good character, so I dared to come and propose a marriage, and I hoped that the master would agree."

Master Jiang thought to himself: Ruan Dashan speaks honestly and will not coax people. The Tao family is a rich party, and it can be regarded as a gateway, so he agreed to this marriage. He found someone to choose a good day, carried a few sedan chairs, and bragged to marry Xiao'e to his home. Needless to say, Jiang Ping likes it more than anyone else.

Besides, Xiao'e is not only filial to her in-laws, but also very attentive, and the husband and wife are even more loving. After a year, Xiao'e gave birth to a fat white boy for Jiang Ping, and the Jiang family was even more happy.

On this day, Xiao'e was restless and missed the two parents very much. She said to Jiang Ping: "I didn't want to marry into the Hu family at that time, so I did something rude. Now I belong to the king, and I don't regret it. I just think that after I leave, the two elders will miss me and become sick. Now it has been more than a year, and I always care about my parents. If my husband thinks about the relationship between husband and wife and tries to communicate with them, it will not be in vain for the two elders to raise me."

Jiang Ping frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I also have this intention. Ruan Dashan is doing business in the area of Bianjing, and I will discuss it with him."

Raw rice and cooked rice blend

Speaking of that day, Tao Yuanwai left Second Xueyou at home for a rest, and after breakfast the next day, the two of them said goodbye and got up. Tao Yuanwai sent him out and said with a smile, "I don't know where Crazy Life went yesterday?The second Xueyou said, "I think he can't wait for us, so he left himself."

Tao Yuanwai saw off the guests, and as soon as they entered the gate, a maid hurried to the front and said out of breath, "Master, it's not good! Miss, I don't know where to go!" Tao Yuanwai was taken aback and hurried into the inner room, only to see Madam Wang crying aloud. A mother said, "Could it be that the person who stayed last night abducted Miss?Tao Yuanwai shouted, "Nonsense! They were both here for the first time. They slept all night and just left. How can they kidnap people? The other one didn't even let in the gate because I was angry that he was talking nonsense, let alone kidnapping people. Presumably, this girl usually has an appointment with people, and today there is a guest here, so she took the opportunity to escape."

The mother said again: "The master is right. Ever since the young lady learned of the virtues of the Hu family's young master, she always cried.

Hearing that this was reasonable, Mr. Tao secretly sent someone to the Wang family to check. After an hour, someone came and reported: "That Wang Lang stayed at home, and the door has not yet come out."

When Tao Yuanwai heard the words, he explained to his family: "The family's ugliness should not be spread out, and no one is allowed to spread it out!" Tao Yuanwai was worried that if the Hu family came to ask for someone, how should he explain it?

After more than a month, the Hu family's young master was unfortunately stabbed to death due to a fight with others, and Tao Yuanwai and his wife have since removed a piece of heart disease. However, the heart of thinking about women has become more and more urgent, and it has been half a year. Tao Yuanwai and his wife have dyed their temples with frost.

One day, after more than a year, Tao Yuanwai had just had an early meal, and the doorman handed over a famous paper. When Tao Yuanwai opened it, it was Suzhou Ruan Dashan visiting, and Tao Yuanwai hurriedly welcomed him.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mr. Ruan said: "Do you still remember the person who knocked on the door in the rain and pretended to be his son-in-law?" Tao Yuanwai said: "There is such a thing."

Ruan Dashan was about to tell Tao Yuanwai about Jiang Ping one by one, and Tao Yuanwai said: "Amazing fate! Amazing fate!"

Mrs. Wang heard the truth behind the screen, and she couldn't help it anymore. She ran out crying, regardless of etiquette, and knelt down in front of Ruan Dashan, begging Ruan Dashan to bring her daughter to meet her.

Ruan Dashan said: "Outside the member, it is easy for the madam to see Ling Ai, but I am afraid that the two elders will blame Ling's son-in-law, so Ling's son-in-law dare not come with Ling Ai." Tao Yuanwai said: "It is too late to see your daughter and son-in-law happy, how can you blame it?"

Ruan Dashan returned to Suzhou and told Jiang Ping what Tao Yuanwai had said. Jiang Ping was overjoyed, so he prepared gifts for cars and horses, and brought his sweet wife and young children to Tao Village to visit relatives. They were a happy family.
