As the saying goes, "Look at horsepower from a distance, and you will see people's hearts for a long time". What does it mean?

As the saying goes, "The road is long, and Xiu Yuan knows the horsepower, and people will see it for a long time." It means that it takes a long time to know how strong a horse is, and it takes a long time to see whether a person is good or bad.

Do you know how this sentence comes from? There is such a story circulating among the people.

According to legend, Lu Yao and Ma Li's father are good friends. The two agreed to share weal and woe. Seeing that both wives are pregnant, the two sides reached an agreement: if they give birth to a man and a woman, they will get married; If children are sons, they are brothers of the opposite sex; If you have two girls, you will form a sister in Jin Lan.

Before long, both families gave birth to boys and became brothers. One is Lu Yao and the other is Mary.

Lu Yao and Mary grew up together and studied together for ten years. However, the Ma family has changed and become poor. Lujia made a fortune in business and became a rich man.

Because his family was poor, Mary finally got married in his twenties. However, the bride price that the woman wants is too much, and Mary's family is poor, so she can't afford it at all.

In desperation, Mary had to ask Lu Yao for help. Lu Yao heard that Ma Li had an accident, so he didn't have to worry about it. No matter how much bride price the woman wants, she just needs to wrap it up and bear everything by herself. Said also open the vault, let horsepower into the library to get it.

All the expenses for Mary's marriage shall be borne by Lu Yao. Therefore, Lu Yao and Mary joked, "When my brother got married, I paid the most and contributed the most. I have to let me go for the first three nights! "

This was a joke, but Mary took it seriously and said, "You are very much like my brother. Forget it! "

On the wedding day, in the evening, Mary walked out of the bridal chamber and dragged Lu Yao in, but when the back door was closed, he found another place to spend the night.

Lu Yao regretted making such a joke, but now he has to sit in the bridal chamber without saying a word.

Lu Yao knows that he can wear his friend's clothes, not his wife. So I sat under the lamp and read honestly, motionless.

In the light, the bride couldn't recognize who was who, so she had to sleep alone. But it was like this for several nights in a row, which made the bride feel very strange. She tried to ask several times, but she was too shy to speak.

On the fourth night, the real groom, Mary, really came to the bridal chamber. The bride couldn't bear it any longer and asked Mary shyly, "The whole world says that the newlyweds are not indoors for three days, why don't they sleep for three nights?"

Hearing this, Mary secretly admired his friend's sense of honor. Say to the bride: "to tell you the truth, it wasn't me who came three nights ago!" " "

Mary told the bride the whole story. The bride was shy and complained that she shouldn't make such a joke, but she also admired Lu Yao's affection and loyalty.

In a blink of an eye, Ma Li studied hard and finally won the top prize, becoming a protege of the son of heaven admired by thousands of people. However, the Luyao family caught fire and had to beg for a living.

I heard that Ma Su was in power now, and Lu Yao begged all the way to the capital, came to Ma Su's official residence, and asked him for help.

Ma Li heard that it was Lu Yao's brother who came to see him and hurried out to meet him in person. I changed his clothes, arranged for him to stay and gave him food and drink every day. But as long as Lu Yao mentioned going home, Mary immediately said, "I know about you, so don't take it to heart." And then it was gone.

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Yao thinks that although he has no worries about food and clothing, what about his wife and children at home? I have no choice. I was angry and patted the table: "I was counting on you to help me pull it, but it took three years and you didn't." Forget it. Give me back my old clothes. I want to go home! "

Ma Li sighed, brought Lu Yao old clothes, brought him money and sent him out.

Luyao, anxious to return, rushed home day and night, but when he got to his hometown, he suddenly froze. The old house is gone, and there is a mansion with two entrances and two exits.

Lu Yao thought he was dazzled and turned round and round outside the gate. Just then, a rhubarb dog ran out of the gate, barking and biting at the sight of Lu Yao, which alarmed the people in the house.

Soon, an old lady came out of the room. Her tears flashed when she saw Lu Yao. "You finally came back."

Lu Yao took a look. Isn't this his wife?

It turned out that this year, Ma Li carried Lu Yao on his back, built a new house for his family and redeemed his previous farmland. I just want to wait for time to accompany him back and surprise him.

At some point, the family also showed Lu Yao a Phnom Penh plaque, which read: "You told me to be stuffy for three nights, and I told you to paint for three years." Leave the word horsepower below.

Now, Lu Yao suddenly realized what was going on. Since then, it has left a legendary story of "seeing horsepower from a distance and watching people's hearts for a long time".
