Sisters are easy to marry

There is a Mao Gong who is a prime minister in Yexian County. His family is poor and humble. His father often herded cattle for others. At that time, there was a clan named Zhang in the county, and there was a newly opened cemetery in the south of Dongshan. Someone passed by the cemetery and heard an angry voice in the grave saying, "Get out of here quickly and don't occupy your house for a long time!" " "After Zhang heard about it, he really didn't believe it. Later, I was warned many times in my dream: "Your cemetery was originally the tomb of Mao Gong's family. How can it be occupied for a long time? "Since then, many unlucky things have happened at home. It was suggested that he move to another place for burial. Zhang took advice and moved the grave. One day, Mao Gong's father was herding cattle outside and passed the old cemetery of the Zhang family. Suddenly it began to rain, and he hid in the abandoned grave. Later, it rained harder and harder, and the rain rushed into the grave, filling it up at once, so Mao Gong's father drowned in it. Mao Gong was a child at that time. His mother visited Zhang herself and asked for a small plot of land to bury his father. Zhang was very surprised when he learned his last name. I was even more horrified to see that the place where Mao Gong's father drowned was the place where the coffin was put. So let them be buried in the original grave and let her take her son with her. After the funeral, Mao Gong's mother came to thank her with her son. When Zhang saw it, he liked it very much, so he stayed at home and taught him to read like his own child. Then I'll marry my eldest daughter to him as my wife. His mother didn't dare to agree. Zhang's wife said, "How can you give up halfway?" Mao Hong's mother had to agree.

However, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family despises the Mao family, and her resentment and dissatisfaction are often manifested in words and faces. As long as someone mentions this marriage, she covers her ears and often declares to others, "I will never marry Cowherd's son!" " "Wait until the wedding day, the groom enters the banquet, the sedan chair stops at the door, but the eldest daughter of the Zhang family covers her face with her sleeves and cries in the corner. Urge her to put on makeup, but she doesn't wear makeup, and everyone's persuasion is of no help. After a while, the groom asked to leave, the drums were loud, and the eldest daughter of the Zhang family was still crying, and her hair was messy like grass. Zhang stopped her son-in-law and went into the house to persuade her daughter, who turned a deaf ear to crying. Zhang was so angry that she forced her daughter into the sedan chair, crying and making trouble. Zhang was helpless, and another family member came in to report that the groom was leaving. Zhang rushed out and said, "The bride's clothes are not ready yet. Please wait for the groom. " Then he ran into the house to see his daughter. In and out, almost never stopped. After a while, things became more and more urgent, but the eldest daughter never changed her mind. Zhang had no choice but to commit suicide. His second daughter was there at the time, saying that her sister was wrong and trying to persuade her to get married. My sister said angrily, "Little girl, you are a talkative scholar! Why don't you go with him? "Sister said," Dad didn't betrothed his sister to Mao Lang; If my sister is betrothed to Mao Lang, why bother my sister to persuade me to get up? Hearing this, Zhang discussed with his mother. ":Replace the eldest daughter with the second daughter. Her mother said to her second daughter, "It's really annoying that a girl who is disobedient and unfilial doesn't listen to her parents. Now we want you to get married instead of your sister, will you? " The second daughter said flatly, "My parents want me to get married. Even if I am a beggar, I dare not refuse. Besides, how can I see that Maolang will eventually starve to death? "Her parents were very happy when they heard this. They dressed her in her sister's new daughter-in-law clothes and hurried to help her get on the bus and go. After the new daughter-in-law entered the door, the couple were very harmonious. It's just that the new wife's hair is a little thin and bald, which makes her husband not very satisfied. Over time, I gradually learned that my sister is easy to marry, and Mao Lang is more grateful to her as a confidant.

Not long after, Mao Lang was admitted to the scholar, went to take the provincial examination and passed by Wang Sheren Village. The shopkeeper dreamed of the man of God the night before and told him, "Sooner or later, a Mao Jieyuan will come, and he will save you from your misery in the future." Therefore, he got up early the next morning and stood in front of the door to observe the guests from the East. When I met Mao Gong, he was ten happy. Put on a sumptuous wine table to entertain, and ask for no money. I also specially told Mao Gong what I heard in my dream, asking him to pay more attention in the future. Mao Gong is also very conceited, thinking that his wife's hair is sparse and bald, and she will be laughed at by dignitaries. He should change his wife when he is rich. Shortly after the admission list was announced, Mao Gong lost his reputation in Sun Shan. He sighed repeatedly, unable to move his feet, regretting and discouraged. He felt ashamed to see the shopkeeper again, and dared not pass by the villa of Mr. Wang's house again, so he went home by another way. Three years later, Mao Gong went to take the exam again, and the shopkeeper greeted him on the roadside as before. Mao Gong said, "What you said last time didn't come true. I am ashamed of your hospitality." The shopkeeper said, "The scholar was removed from the underworld because he secretly wanted to change his wife and children. It's not that that weird dream can't come true. " Mao Gong was frightened and asked him how he knew. The shopkeeper told me that he dreamed that the man of God came to tell all kinds of situations after leaving. After hearing this, Mao Gong was shocked, repented and scared, and froze. The shopkeeper said, "Scholars should love themselves and eventually understand." Not long after, sure enough, I got the first place in the exam. Madame's hair grows quickly, and her bun is black and shiny, which is more charming.

When her sister married a rich boy in her hometown, she was on her high horse. But her husband was dissolute and lazy, and his family gradually fell apart, and soon he was too poor to open the pot. She felt even more ashamed when she heard that her sister had become Mrs. Xiaolian. The two sisters often avoid the road. Not long after, her husband died again, and her family was devastated. Soon after, Mao Gong won the Jinshi again. After hearing this, my sister hated herself more and more, and even cut her hair for Nepal. When Mao Gong returned to his hometown as prime minister, he sent a girl to visit him, hoping to send him something. When the nun came to the mansion, Mrs. Mao presented some silks and satins and wrapped the silver inside, without the nun knowing. The girl took the things back to her master. The host was disappointed and said angrily, "give me money, which can also be used to buy firewood." What's the use of these goods for me! " Tell the girl to send the things back. Mr. and Mrs. Mao felt incomprehensible. When I opened the bag, I saw that the money was still there, and I realized why she had returned it. He took out his silver and said with a smile, "Your master can't even afford a hundred taels of silver. How can he be lucky to follow my old minister?" So he took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to Nuni, saying, "Take it to your master. People with more money and less wealth can't afford it. " Nuni told his master when he came back. Master sighed silently for a long time. I thought that what I have done in my life is often black and white, and avoiding beauty is evil. Isn't it fate? Later, the shopkeeper was imprisoned for a murder case, and Mao Gong tried his best to release him before he was pardoned.

"Strangely enough," he said, "the cemetery inherent in the Zhang family has become a new tomb. I once heard people joke that' uncle is little uncle, and the former is the latter'. Where can a smart person count this? Alas! God's mind has been elusive for a long time. Why is Mao Gong's retribution so effective? "
