Mondo Gastronomy Updated on 2024-01-26

It is said that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, in the Qinhuai River generation, there was a Xiucai surnamed Chen.

He was born with a dignified appearance, suave and suave, married to Zhou, gentle and virtuous, had two sons, and was generous and polite.

Chen Xiucai's ancestor left a lot of family property, and there are only two big mansions, so he doesn't have to rush for his livelihood, and everything goes smoothly at home, so he will be idle.

His task is to go to the Qinhuai River every day about three or five friends to chant poems, drink and joke, every banquet must be indispensable singers and dancers, every time you get drunk, it must be Qinlou Chu Pavilion, fireworks and willow lane.

That's how he feels that life is meaningful.

Anyway, he had a treat, and he was always surrounded by some fox friends and dog friends, complimenting him comfortably, and he didn't listen to his wife Zhou's gentle advice.

After the New Year like this, he will be insolvent, and even if there is a mountain of gold, it will be eaten up!

He has really reached the point of selling his house to pay off his debts, and there is a courtier surnamed Wei who has long been eyeing Chen Xiucai and his mansion.

knew that Chen Xiu was easy to handle, and he was usually lavish, but now that there was no one who saved the scene around him, he just took the opportunity to blackmail him.

Chen Xiucai posted the announcement of the sale of the house, and Wei Chaofeng directly revealed it, and he wanted to buy his big mansion with a garden in Sanjin for 600 taels of silver.

Chen Xiucai was so angry that he scolded, that is at least worth 10,000 taels, I am now down, in order to repay the debt, you will give me at least 800 taels, right?

Wei Chaofeng secretly used the silver, and asked the creditor to urge Chen Xiucai, saying that if he didn't repay the money, he would sue the official, and threatened to ruin Chen Xiucai's reputation.

This Chen Xiucai regarded reputation as more important than life, and dared not agree, so he signed a contract ruthlessly, 600 taels of silver, and sold the property left by his ancestors.

After this incident, he completely woke up, there are no real friends in wine and meat, and there are people in Flower Street.

He sighed at home, and when Zhou saw this, he asked, "What are the officials' plans in the future?"”

Madam, I have lived half my life in vain!Originally, it was only a matter of fine clothes and food, and it was an ordinary place for a filial son and a good wife, but now I have suffered, and those who are usually complimented are scattered as birds and beasts!I'm alone!What reputation and what friends are, and it will all be sent by Mrs. in the future!”

Do you really think so?”

Anyway, I'm also a showman, and those who have read books don't understand the truth. ”

Well, the officials and wait ......”

As he spoke, he took the key and opened the cabinet door, rummaged through it for a long time, and took out a delicate box.

When the box opened, it turned out to be white silver!

Chen Xiucai's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he hugged the lady tightly:

Madame!What a good lady for me!”

That is exactly what the Zhou family saved by frugality on weekdays, and there are enough 1,000 taels of silver.

I'm going to redeem our house!Chen Xiucai stood up abruptly and said.

After all, this made him feel a bad breath, and the next day he went to find that Wei Chaofeng.

But can you still spit out the meat in your mouth?The Wei Dynasty lied that he had purchased a lot of things in this house, planted a lot of flowers and trees, and spent a lot of silver on repairs.

Chen Xiucai returned in vain, held his stomach again, and came back to complain to his wife.

Zhou said with a smile: Officials don't have to worry, the house will naturally be returned to you after a while. ”

Madame!How do you say that?”

You don't have to worry about that. ”

It was late autumn, the west wind was cold, and Zhou arranged for his subordinates to enter the back garden of the old house from the back mountain, and inserted two wind whistles by an ancient well.

Then, he told a story to his subordinates, saying that a girl of the Chen family was wrongfully accused of being a thief and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, and the soul of the dead would whimper and cry every few days of the autumn equinox.

This terrible legend soon spread, and the youngest daughter of Wei Chaofeng happened to live in the embroidery building in the back garden, and at night, there was a whimpering, like a woman's cry.

The family was sent to look for it but could not find it, because as soon as the person came, he blocked the outlet, and the sound stopped, and the stronger the wind, the louder the whistle blew, and then there was a cage at the mouth of the well, circling and continuous, high and low.

The girl was scared, but after listening to people's legends, she was even more afraid, and she was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at night, and her spirit was relieved.

This Mrs. Wei also said to Wei Chaofeng:

You're just used to taking advantage of it!Whose good house gave you so much money and bought it?There must be something wrong with this house!You still think you've taken advantage of it, but you've been counted!”

This person who loves to take advantage is afraid of being countercalculated, obviously Chen Xiucai did not calculate his heart, but because he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, he also believed the words of his wife.

I thought yes!This house is obviously worth 10,000 taels of silver, and he only needs 800 taels, so why did he coincidentally find me, the buyer?No one else wants to buy it?

Later, he secretly inquired about people, in the back garden, is there really a female ghost who died unjustly?The neighbors in this neighborhood are spreading more and more with noses and eyes, and it is the good things that don't go out, and the bad things spread thousands of miles.

So he tried a few rich friends and wanted to sell this murderous house, but those people are not stupid, why did they have to sell after living for half a year?I'm afraid there's something wrong with the house, right?

Coincidentally, in the past six months, Chen Xiucai, with the funding of his wife, has started a small business, and he has done it well.

It is said that the feng shui of the house must be bad, otherwise you look at the house where Chen Xiucai gave up, and the people are smooth, isn't it much better than before?

The two are not bad, in the past, their family was a loser, and the house was not good!

After Wei Chaofeng had a heart disease, he became more and more dissatisfied with this house, so he had to take the initiative to find Chen Xiucai and ask for 600 taels of silver to return the house to him.

Chen Xiucai ignored him at first.

Later, Wei Chaofeng said:

This swallow is still in love with the old house, how can the owner not love the main house?Previously, I only helped you guard it for a while, so you might as well take back this house!”

At this time, Wei Chaofeng had long lost his former majesty, and Chen Xiucai was not in a hurry, saying that he would go back and discuss with his insiders.

Chen Xiucai is telling the truth, he really wants to discuss with his wife, although he is very happy in his heart, but he is not shocked on the surface.

Wei Chaofeng was anxious: "500 taels!."500 taels!I'll move out tomorrow!”

Chen Xiucai's footsteps were sluggish, and he wanted to make a decision on the spot, but he had to do it well, so he left decisively.

As soon as he left, Wei Chaofeng believed even more that there was really something wrong with the house, get rid of it, get rid of it!

The next day, he came to Chen Xiucai again, and this time Chen Xiucai reluctantly signed the transfer papers, which was still 600 taels, and the silver transaction did not take advantage of him.

After the delivery was completed, the two rejoiced, the Wei Dynasty Fengxiang threw away the hot potato, and Chen Xiucai took back the old mansion steadily, and all this was arranged by the Zhou family.

There are poetry clouds. Save the husband when he is lost and help his husband to be prosperous, and he does not invite credit for redeeming the house.

If there is a woman like Siming Avenue, how can the family not be revived.
