In Dongjinan, there is an inn, although it is not the largest and most luxurious in the local area, but the business is the best, on the one hand, the bossLing Hanis well managed, and more importantly, Ling Han has a beautiful wife, that is, the innkeeperWillow leaves
Liu Ye is beautiful and kind-hearted, eighteen years old, but Ling Han is already in his fifties.
Originally, Ling Han was a poor boy who wandered all over the world and had no fixed residence, but later used his life savings to open this inn.
At first, the inn was too small to have a business, but Ling Han took care of it seriously and worked hard to manage it, and it slowly improved, but it was only to make a living.
One night, Ling Han was about to close the door to rest, and saw a girl in thin clothes on the side of the road, it was a cold winter, Ling Han was afraid that she would freeze to death on the street, so he immediately helped her to the store.
The girl trembled and felt pitiful.
Ling Han cooked a bowl of hot soup, and after the girl drank it, she burst into tears, crying and asking him to take her in, and she had nowhere to go.
Ling Han smiled and said, "You stay with me for one night first, I'll give you some silver, and you can leave tomorrow." ”
Early the next morning, Ling Han was about to open for business, and found that the girl was already cleaning up and cleaning up the shop. Ling Han took out ten taels of silver, and took some hot buns that had just come out of the pot, so that the girl could go on the road early so that she could go home quickly.
The girl knelt on the ground and didn't leave, Ling Han said that she just didn't leave, and finally the girl cried and said, "I'm calling."Willow leaves, the family died, and he came to Jinan to join his relatives, but the relatives had moved away and cut off contact. ”
Ling Han had no choice but to take in Liu Ye, Liu Ye is a diligent girl, helping the store business, the neighbors found that there was an extra girl in the store, not only beautiful, but also kind, whoever has something, Liu Ye will go to help, over time, the neighbors like Liu Ye very much, often come to the store to take care of business.
Ling Han also found that since Liu Ye's arrival, the inn's business had improved a lot, and he had also hired three men and a cook.
The neighbors knew that Ling Han was a bachelor and intended to match the two, but Ling Han disagreed, after all, she was over half a hundred years old, and Liu Ye was still a little girl.
Liu Ye didn't think so, but she was willing to marry Ling Han, because Ling Han was a good person.
The two tied the knot, the neighbors sent many congratulatory gifts, the inn's business was much better, and sometimes some guests even had a cup of tea just to see the willow leaves.
Ling Han saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, who made the willow leaves beautiful.
As the business got better and better, Liu Ye wanted to find a bookkeeper, but Ling Han was not satisfied with several of them, either he was too slow to write, or he had a bad personality.
One day, a thin scholar was hovering at the door, and when Ling Han saw it, he asked him to come in for dinner, and the scholar said, "But I don't have any money." ”
Ling Han smiled and said, "Don't get in the way, when I invite you." ”
The scholar was surprised and delighted, it was just a bowl of hot noodles, and he devoured it, and it seemed that he had been hungry for several days.
After eating the noodles, the scholar stood up and said, "Boss, I don't want to eat for nothing, I can do things in the store." ”
Ling Han: "It's okay if you're so thin." ”
Scholar: "I can write, I'm Xiucai!" ”
When Liu Ye heard this, he wanted him to keep the account and asked, "What's your name?" ”
Scholar: "My last name."Ho, calledGui Sheng
Ling Han asked him to write a few words on the spot, and He Guisheng took up the pen and wrote a couplet: "Shanglian: Customers spread the reputation in all directions; Downlink: There is fresh air at the counter. ”
Ling Han and everyone looked at it and were full of praise, from then on He Guisheng stayed in the inn to keep accounts, Liu Ye also took good care of him, the two were of the same age, and they often had endless conversations, He Guisheng would also teach Liu Ye to write in his spare time.
After Ling Han saw it, he just smiled and asked Liu Ye to do things.
He Guisheng looked at the back of Liu Ye, and felt emotional, and often bought some small gifts for Liu Ye, and Liu Ye was also very happy to receive gifts, and he would also give things back.
Slowly, the two of them did not shy away from Ling Han and me, once there were many guests, but Liu Ye laughed with He Guisheng, which made Ling Han very annoyed, and called Liu Ye to the house to reprimand, but Liu Ye was very unconvinced in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, it was Liu Ye's birthday, Ling Han bought fine silk and exquisite hairpins, and Liu Ye was very happy when he saw it.
He Guisheng couldn't afford expensive gifts, so he wrote a poem and gave it to Liu Ye, who held it in his hand and read it carefully.
At this time, a young man came to the inn, tall but shabby, and he saw the willow leaves from the door, and was deeply attracted by her beauty.
The young man found a place by the window and sat down, and Liu Ye immediately walked over and asked, "What to eat?" ”
The young man was penniless, so he still asked for a lot of wine and food, and when he finished eating, Liu Ye came over.
He handed over the treasure knife he was carrying to Liu Ye, who just smiled and said, "If you don't bring any silver, then you don't want your food money." ”
The young man said, "My name is I."Anxiang, when you go out, your money is stolen, and you don't mean to eat a bully meal. ”
Liu Ye: "Don't get in the way, just be careful in the future." ”
The young man said, "Girl, I am going to seek a career in Saiwai, do you want to join me?" ”
Liu Ye shook his head and went to greet other guests.
The door closed very late that day, Ling Han locked the door, Liu Ye drank a little wine, took He Guisheng's hand, Ling Han looked at it, did not speak, and went home alone.
Although Ling Han didn't want to see this scene, he didn't want to force Liu Ye, hoping that Liu Ye would wake up and return to his embrace.
After a long time, Liu Ye didn't come back, Ling Han knew that Liu Ye went to He Guisheng's residence, although he was sad, he was helpless, he was over half a hundred years old, he could be Liu Ye's father, He Guisheng was her best choice, this was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
Ling Han planned to fulfill the two of them, walking home alone, passing a small bridge on the way.
The bridge was not too long, but it was very high, and there was a man standing on the bridge who jumped down.
Ling Han didn't have time to think about it, although it was the cold winter season, he still jumped into the river to rescue the person, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a young man who ate white food during the day.
The young man hugged Ling Han and cried, "She doesn't like me, what's the point of me living!" ”
Ling Han smiled bitterly: "What are you crying about, Liu Ye is still my wife, don't you follow He Guisheng now." ”
Young man: "You're not angry? ”
Ling Han sighed and said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Liu Ye married me just to repay her kindness, I don't blame her." Then he talked about his hard life when he was young, life was not always smooth sailing, and it was normal to experience some hardships.
The young man wrung out his clothes, picked up his sword, and prepared to leave.
Ling Han took him home, took out three hundred taels of silver and gave it to him, saying, "You are still young, there is some silver here, go and fight hard." ”
The young man burst into tears and said, "Benefactor, I will repay you, and one day, I will come back after I have achieved fame!" ”
When the young man left, it was already dawn, and Liu Ye had also returned, Ling Han was not only not angry, but had a sense of happiness that he had regained.
Liu Ye said: "Actually, I am also for your good, He Guisheng is very pitiful, he has no talent, I comforted him for one night, you have to believe me." ”
Ling Han nodded, and hurriedly pulled Liu Ye into the house, the two of them worked hard in the back room, Liu Ye felt guilty, and could only cooperate with Ling Han, and at the same time hoped to give him a child as soon as possible, which could be regarded as repaying him for saving his life.
During the day, He Guisheng was a little embarrassed to see Ling Han, but Ling Han didn't care.
Since then, the three of them have tacitly Xi, Liu Ye continued to learn poetry with He Guisheng, because of He Guisheng's talent, more and more guests read his poems, competing to pass on praise, the inn's business is better, and the owner of the fan shop wants to write his poems on the fan.
He Guisheng discussed with Ling Han, and Ling Han thought that he could do anything that could make money, so he immediately agreed to the owner of the fan shop, and the income was divided into half.
Three years later, bandits appeared in Shandong, and many people had to leave their homes.
Ling Han and the three of them continued to run the inn, and business was still booming.
One day, an officer suddenly came, and a guest at dinner said, "This officer was sent by the imperial court to eliminate the bandits." ”
The officer found Ling Han, majestic and majestic, and Ling Han was hospitable.
The officer sneered and said, "Do you still recognize me?" ”
Ling Han cautiously raised his head, glanced at it, and shook his head.
The officer took off his hat and said, "You saved my life when I jumped into the river." ”
Ling Han was surprised and delighted, but at this moment and that moment, Ling Han didn't dare to be too excited, and said: "Congratulations, I saw that adults were dragons and phoenixes among people, and sure enough, we have too many bandits here, and we have to rely on the prestige of the general to repel the bandits." ”
An Xiang smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter, and I also work for the imperial court." ”
Anxiang saw that the inn was a lot more luxurious, so he asked Ling Han to take him on a tour. Ling Han had no choice but to stop what he was doing, and took An Xiang to look inside and out, when he saw the willow leaves, An Xiang was surprised, he didn't expect that he hadn't seen them for many years, and the willow leaves became more and more beautiful, and added a bit of ** charm.
Liu Ye saw An Xiang, nodded slightly, and smiled.
In the evening, Anxiang set up a banquet in the mansion and invited Ling Han and Liu Ye, and during the meal, Anxiang said: "It was Boss Ling who saved me many years ago, and now I have something to ask for." ”
Ling Han: "General, please speak." ”
Anxiang: "I had nothing at the beginning, and now I can be regarded as a success, at the beginning, Miss Willow Leaf looked down on me, and now I believe that only I can protect Miss Willow Leaf." Moreover, my subordinates have already investigated that the scholar in your shop colluded with the bandits, and I have corrected him on the spot. ”
Liu Ye suddenly vomited, his face turned pale, and the wine glass in Ling Han's hand also fell to the ground.
Anxiang: "Boss Ling, you are a smart person, you should know what to do next." ”
Ling Han and Liu Ye returned to the inn, only to see He Guisheng lying in a pool of blood, Ling Han called a man to help carry him to the backyard, went back to the house and said to Liu Ye: "I didn't expect An Xiang to be a villain, I don't think I can stay here anymore, you hurry up." ”
Liu Ye: "I'm not going either." ”
Ling Han: "He Guisheng and I will be buried, you leave here first, Anxiang will not do anything to me, after all, I am an old man, and I have saved his life before." ”
Liu Ye sat in the carriage with tears in his eyes, and Ling Han dug out a box of ** from the ground and prepared to give it to Anxiang.
Who knew that Anxiang had already taken precautions, caught Liu Ye halfway, and at the same time sent someone to arrest Ling Han, saying that he colluded with bandits, killed him on the spot, and snatched the box of ** by the way.
Liu Ye was locked in the house and didn't eat for several days, and Anxiang was worried about the beauty's body and asked the nurse to take care of her.
No matter how the nurse persuaded her, Liu Ye still didn't eat a bite, and she lost a lot of weight.
Anxiang was furious when he saw it and cut the nurse.
Liu Ye couldn't bear to hurt others because of herself, so she had to eat.
Anxiang was very satisfied, and sent three maids to serve closely, Liu Ye didn't dare to ask more, in the evening, Anxiang asked her to eat together, and Liu Ye wanted to go home and change clothes.
Anxiang sent someone to escort her, and after returning home, Liu Ye knew that Ling Han had been killed, she held back her tears, changed her clothes, and went to the kitchen to cook herself, making several specialty dishes.
Back at the General's Mansion, Anxiang was very happy, and he was even more overjoyed to know that Liu Ye was cooking in person.
After three rounds of drinking, Anxiang suddenly had unbearable pain in his abdomen, suspecting that someone had poisoned him.
Liu Ye looked at him and said, "I poisoned him!" ”
Anxiang: "But, you also ate it." ”
Liu Ye: "I want to die with Master Ling, but I will kill you before I die, I put arsenic in the dish, and you will die in an hour." ”
Liu Ye walked out after speaking, and fell to the ground and died before he reached the door.
Anxiang shouted, but the soldiers were outside, they couldn't hear it at all, and they died of poison after a while.
After Anxiang's death, the imperial court sent another general over and eliminated the bandits in less than a month. Folktales
