Short-term work.
In the countryside, people who work for a family all the year round are called long-term workers, and short-term temporary workers are called short-term workers. A few people were hired by farmers in neighboring villages to work as short-term workers and hoe the fields, and they set out in the evening of the first day to settle down in the owner's house and start working the next day. When I walked halfway, the heavy rain suddenly came, and the lightning flashed and thundered, so I had to find someone to sleep.
There happens to be a manor in front, knock on the door and then one.
The old man opened the door, and when he heard that everyone was staying overnight, the old man readily agreed, and said, "Don't dislike the humble house." He led them to the back of the building, and the food and drink were very rich. The upstairs is gorgeously furnished, as if it were a woman's bedroom. The helpers have never lived in such a luxurious house, and while admiring, they are stroking all kinds of furniture.
An old man stopped: "Don't move around, break things, and live up to the master's affection." So they stopped bumping, lay down and rested, and snored for a moment.
One of them was more alert and secretly thought: I don't know each other, why are I so hospitable?And it's arranged in the inner room, which doesn't make sense. Therefore, I did not dare to fall asleep.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning, and a female ghost appeared and said to him, "Why don't you go quickly, wait for death?"The man was shocked and woke up his companions one by one. Everyone was frightened when they saw the female ghost, and they went downstairs in a panic and staggered.
The old man found out and brought people to chase him, and everyone crawled into the buckwheat field, and the pursuers returned after looking for it.
Everyone braved the rain and went to the employer's house that night. Later, he inquired and found that the daughter-in-law of the old man's family who lived in the house was abused and hanged herself, and he left everyone to stay in the house because he wanted to frame someone to top the tank. The female ghost seen by the short-term workers is the old man's daughter-in-law. "Cave Spirit Chronicles".
Hexagrams. In the last years of Kangxi, Li Luting, who opened an antique shop, was good at hexagrams, and he refused to give others a hexagram, but only took a hexagram for himself every morning. Someone came to ask him for fortune telling, but Li Luting always excused himself: "Don't leak the secret of heaven excessively, otherwise you won't be allowed by ghosts and gods." ”
One day, the result of his divination was that an immortal came with a bamboo cane that day, drank wine and wrote poems, so he burned incense and waited. At noon, someone came to sell a bamboo carving, which was a statue of Lu Dongbin, in a sitting position, leaning on a wine gourd next to it, and a poem was engraved on the gourd. Li Luting smiled: "It is also consistent with the hexagram." ”
Li Luting's wife died when he was fifty years old, and there was only one young concubine Ping'er in the family, and there were no children. One day, the concubine's father came to visit and saw his daughter crying, so he asked why.
Li Luting said: "I calculated a hexagram in the morning, and today I want to come to two distinguished guests to buy antiques, one of them is Ping'er's previous husband, and there is still a night of fate in this life." The other is her current husband, who was married half a year later. Isn't it weird, you say?”
The little concubine Ping'er said: "How can there be such a hexagram?"You must be lying and teasing people. Is this a joke?Isn't that just an insult to me?Li Luting sighed and said: "The result of divination is indeed like this, it stands to reason that it is me who should cry!."”
Half a year later, Li Luting died of illness, and Ping'er was bought by a Hanlin, but his wife did not allow it, and he was kicked out the next day. Later, he became a concubine for a Chinese scholar. These two were indeed the customers who bought antiques in the first place. "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang".
A wants to murder his enemy, but there is no perfect solution. When a certain B found out, he came to offer medicine, and he said: "This poison will kill you when it enters the abdomen, and there is no sign of poisoning at all." Even if the bones are steamed and autopsied, the bones will not be blackened. "Person A was very happy, and after taking the drug, he left B to drink. Person B returned home and died, with the same symptoms as dying of a violent illness. It turned out that a certain person killed people in advance.
The original author's summary: B was killed by offering medicine to kill someone, and A wanted to kill his mouth, but the mouth was known in advance, so what was the use of taking the trouble to deceive me?"Notes on Reading Wei Caotang".
Oral iniquity. The ancients said: "It is better to prevent the mouth than to prevent the river." "It can be seen that oral accidents can easily happen. (The original meaning of chuan is river, which here refers to flooding.) ）
Zhou Maocai is young and intelligent, long and tall, good at writing and arguing, and has become a talent at the age of less than 20. Everyone thinks that his fame is like a bag of things.
This person is already arrogant and arrogant, and he is respected by everyone for being more pretentious and contemptuous of all beings. Usually, he laughs at others at will, leaving no room for it, and he has no tolerance at all. When there were dissenting opinions, he relied on his eloquence to refute them, so that he did not back down even when he quarreled and insulted them. His poetry also gradually moved towards a paranoid style.
After failing in the four autumn exams (once every three years), Zhou Mao went to the capital to study. No one appreciated it, and Yu returned to his hometown, and since then he has been lying in the smoke and watching the sunset, with no intention of making progress. However, the mouth of the female yellow continues unabated, contemptuous of the powerful, criticizes current politics, and despises peers, and there is nothing in the world that can enter his eyes.
When he was fifty years old, Zhou Mao achieved nothing, was poor and despaired, and his son died. Only then did he have remorse, and he never talked about world affairs, nor argued with others, nor did he mention the merits and demerits of others. It's too late!"Hutianlu".
Old pawn. Uncle Yusheng is an official in Lingqiu, Shanxi. At that time, there was a gangster who was assigned here, but after the expiration of the period, he did not want to return to his hometown and switched to the military camp. At that time, he was over 70 years old, and he was still a pawn in the army, diligent and courteous, and respectful and humble to his superiors.
One day, the old man died of illness, and Uncle Yusheng buried him in the suburbs, and sent soldiers to burn some paper money. Someone is young, frivolous, and has some resistance to the task of burning paper, but there is no way. So he pretended to cry while burning the paper, and said, "My son is away from me, who will I rely on in the future!"He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
Suddenly, the old pawn appeared, held him down and beat him. Fortunately, a passer-by passed by, thinking that the two were fighting, and stepped forward to pull away. The old pawn ghost pointed at someone and said angrily: "I am your father according to my age, and you call me a son." Paper money is given by adults, what do you have to do with it, you want to insult me like this?”
After the old soldier finished speaking, he disappeared, and the soldier who burned the paper was bruised and swollen all over his body, and it took more than ten days to recover. "Wing Barnyard Edition".
Lin. In the year of Dade Ding, there was a doctor Lin in Yongxin Prefecture. One evening, an old woman knocked on the door and asked him to go to the west gate to see a doctor. Lin thought it was too late, and wanted the old woman to stay and set off in the morning. The old woman begged again and again, and Lin had no choice but to follow her out.
After walking more than five miles, when she came to Dongyue Temple, the old woman said, "You wait here for a while." After saying that, he walked into the grass. Lin was a little strange and watched and observed. Seeing the old woman disappear after a tomb, he became afraid, so he hid in the attic of the Yue Temple and peeked through the moonlight.
After a while, the old woman came with a tiger, and there was no sign of Lin, and the old woman patted the tiger on the back and said, "It's a pity!."It's a pity!He shook his head and sighed: "It took me three years to get you this piece of meat, but I still can't eat it." You're so unlucky!”
The old woman left with the tiger, and Lin waited until dawn. I didn't dare to come out and go home until someone passed by. From then on, he did not dare to go to the clinic at night. Persona
