There was a poor scholar, so poor that there was a frame left in his hat, no crotch in his pants, and no help in his shoes. He was the only one in the family, and he had breakfast and no dinner. He was really a begging stick in front of the door, and his aunt didn't recognize it. Poor scholars are not poor. He devoted himself to studying, and when he was twenty-five, he won the third place in the exam. The good news came, and the poor scholar was catching lice. As soon as he heard that he was in high school, he had nowhere to put his hands and feet. Lunch has not yet been served, how can there be money to give Xi money?

Zhuang Shangyu came out like thunder. Zhuang's neighbor came, and Zhuang Tou Baozheng came to Kowtow and called him master. Zhang Yuanwai also came, bowing and bowing, even saying that he had known that he was high-minded, he took out two handfuls of silver from his sleeves to give him a reward for the good news; follow-up, and invited the person to his house, saying, "We Zhuang Shangyu, in addition to my grandfather, you are the second person, this is also fate. You don't want to live in those two shabby thatched houses anymore. There are three double rooms in the west courtyard of my house, so I will give them to you; I will give you another book boy to serve you. I will give you a hundred taels of silver to buy clothes first. Also, if you don't mind, my third lady is twenty-nine years old, and she is betrothed to you as your wife. My family doesn't want any gifts, everything is ready, as long as you agree, you can get married on a good day. "

Half a day, two days in the world, riding horses and arranging flowers, the poor scholar suddenly became a rich master. For a while, in four towns and eight villages, those who were close to relatives and friends, all came to the door to congratulate, and they made a fuss for several days. After a few days, they married Miss Zhang again.

Juren came from a poor place and knew the hardships of the poor. Once, a rich man in a neighboring village raped the daughter of a long-term worker, and her daughter threw herself into the river and died. The long-term worker went to the county to complain of injustice, but was beaten up. When he came back to hang himself in the village, he was rescued by someone. Juren sympathized with the long-term worker and promised to help him write a petition to the mansion to file a lawsuit.

The evil tycoon found out and hurried to see the county official. The county official panicked when he heard that, and asked the tycoon to bring 3,000 taels of silver to the mansion to do tricks. The sister-in-law of the county official was in charge of criminal justice in the mansion, and when he brought the long-term worker to the mansion, the criminal didn't ask a word, and beat the long-term worker for forty big boards, saying that they falsely accused a famous squire, got rid of the person's reputation, and hit another forty boards.

When the poor Xiucai came back, Zhang Yuanwai stood at the entrance of the station and pointed at the poor Xiucai's nose and scolded: "I know that your dog bones can't bury the dragon land. Good days, but you have to help others with lawsuits and eggs touch stones. Now I am not your husband-in-law, you are not my son-in-law. This piece of property is mine, get out of here!" This is broken, the rich master has become a poor man again, and the poor man is still a poor man. He dragged his limping legs and went back to the shabby grass house. No one asked him about it, and it was not the long-term worker who sent some potatoes and radishes to save his life. The poor man almost starved to death.

The governor of the capital city brought Shangfang Baojian to inspect the seven provinces. When Xiucai heard this letter, he wrote a pleading and a long-term worker went to stop the palanquin to complain. The patrol of the seven provinces was a loyal minister of the elders of the three dynasties. After a private visit, he arrested the evil rich man and convicted him to capital punishment. The criminal and county officials in the mansion were dismissed, and the poor scholar resumed his status as a person. The patrol also appointed him to be the county official of the county. On the first day he took office, Zhang Yuanwai carried the third young lady to a palanquin and sealed a thousand taels of silver for the yamen. This time the father-in-law worshiped his son-in-law and said: "The eldest master is clear, I blamed the little old man for being confused and blamed the eldest master by mistake. I know that the eldest master is from the sky. For the sake of your wife's love, don't hold a grudge against me." The county official smiled and said, "There are good days and bad days, and people are unlucky when they leave. Don't turn over a face, turn around a face." Zhang Yuanwai's face was flushed, just kowtowing.

In the evening, when the master returned to the room, the lady put out the wine, and the master said while drinking: "When people are in time, they sound like a flood of bells, invite people from east to west, eat wine and meat, and give away 800 without mentioning borrowing money; when people are in mildew, they sound like bees, go to relatives and friends, sit on the cold bench, and drink the northwest wind."
