It is said that in the middle of the Ming Dynasty in Luzhou, Luzhou Lu County produced a county master, surnamed Chai, a single name of a Maitreya Buddha's Mi word, the word constantly, I don't know how the old man took the name with him, Chai Mi Chai is really worthy of his name and word, really an authentic money fan, in his words, famous do not pick up money even if it is lost, on weekdays the money is more important than their own lives, not only often deduct the food and salary of the servants, the people encounter something to go to lawsuits, that is reasonable and no money do not come in, eat Party A and eat Party B, It makes people dare to be angry and dare not speak.
When he saw money, he had to hold it tightly in his hand, and he had to kiss it, call out to me, take a box, lock three locks, and sleep as a pillow at night.
On this day, there are three poor sour shows to go to the Luohan field to catch up, one lives in Fangshan, one lives in Mituo, one lives in Texing, the three of them happened to meet a three-way intersection, at that time there was no one in three places, that is, three Xiucai, three Xiucai is hopeless to get famous, and can not let go of the body to find a way to live, usually life is also poor, at this time I saw a shiny thing in the middle of the three-way intersection, and when I got closer, it turned out to be a copper coin, and there was some reflection under the illumination of the sun, and the three of them were walking with their heads down and seeing at the same time, So they all reached out to pick it up, but the three of them bumped into each other, and the three of them got up, first not shouting through, but stating that the money was the first they saw it, and they all said that they deserved it, and no one would let anyone.
Just when the three of them were fighting for red faces, the official sedan chair of this old man Chai Mi happened to pass by. The county lord traveled, the gongs and drums were enlightened, and the battle was very big, and the three of them saw that the county lord was coming, and hurriedly knelt in front of the official sedan chair, blocking the road and shouting grievances.
Chai Mi was dreaming in a sedan chair, and was suddenly woken up, and his heart was on fire. The three Xiucai told each other about the matter, but Chai Mi came to the spirit. Because he also took a fancy to this small amount of money.
So he said: "Several, the official is hanging high, and the case is fair, but you all say that this matter is yours, and you can't break a penny into three parts, in this way, aren't the three of you learned talents?" Each person recites a poem on the spot, and I will judge whoever can express the poorest. ”
The three Xiucai hurriedly agreed, and Jia Xiucai preemptively said: "My lord, I am the poorest, you listen to me, I am 'wearing rotten clothes, walking barefoot, covered with dry grain grass, and sleeping in a broken bamboo basket'" Jia Xiucai was proud after speaking, and said to Chai Mi: County master, I can be considered poor, and this money should be mine.
Who knows Chai Mi said: "Slow, you can exchange this grain and grass for money, what are you poor, you shouldn't have this money, let him say." ”
Pointing at Yi Xiucai, Yi Xiucai hurriedly said: "I have no pennis on my body, no rat food at home, I have to cover my clothes and sleep on a slate bed." Yi Xiucai felt that it was his turn now.
Who knows that Chai Mi shook his head and said: "You are not poor, I know that Uncle Nancheng Wang is going to rebuild the pigsty, and it just so happens that your slate bed can be sold to him to make money." Or listen to him. "Now only Bing Xiucai is left.
Bing Xiucai thought to himself, this county master is afraid that it will not be easy to fool, so I will be ruthless and say: "Heaven and earth are reverse travel (meaning inn, inn, from "Zhuangzi Shanmu"), and the sun and moon are candles. Covered with belly pouch skin, sleeping on the back bone. ”
When Chai Mi heard this, he thought that you are still a little ruthless, and you have nothing to say, but how can it be difficult to get him in this matter, so she asked Bing Xiucai: "How much do you say is the pigskin?" ”
Bing Xiucai was stunned for a moment and said, "When I go back to the county master, it's only a dozen words." ”
Chai Mi said: "Ten texts, what about human skins? ”
Bing Xiucai said: "I haven't heard of anyone selling skins for money." ”
Chai Mi laughed: "You say that human skin is priceless, that is a priceless treasure, you are a priceless treasure, ** is still short of money." ”
As soon as the three of them heard that no one could get the money, they continued to shout injustice, and Chai Mi said angrily: "A few Xiucai who don't know how to be ashamed blocked the way of the official, and also complained indiscriminately, and one person came to give me fifty boards." ”
The three of them were beaten to cry and cry to their mothers, and after the beating, the three of them were still not convinced, and asked what to do with the money, Chai Mi bent down to pick up the money, and said while picking up the money: "For officials and not sages, wealth and life are connected." I should have picked it up before. Before he finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers around him couldn't help but scold: You are really shameless.
Unexpectedly, Mida was not angry, picked it up and took it in his hand, haha, and said, "I want money and shamelessness." ”
