Chen Xuanjun spoke lightly, his tone full of concern.
The red fish let out a long breath without leaving any trace, and looked even more well-behaved.
Lie half down, squint and enjoy.
Sit sideways and massage gently.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sleepy Chen Xuanjun suddenly said: "Red Fish, let me tell you a story."
Without waiting for the latter's response, he said in a mellow voice: "A long time ago, there was a rich man who had a son who was over fifty and named him Tianbao. When Tianbao grew up, he was idle and spent money like water. The old rich man was afraid that his son would not be able to keep his family if he continued like this.
He didn't want to do anything, so he hired a gentleman to teach him the truth and wouldn't let him go out easily."
"Under the discipline of my husband, Tianbao gradually became knowledgeable and courteous."
"Soon, Tianbao's parents unfortunately both passed away, and his studies had no choice but to be interrupted."
"As soon as the teacher left, the friends Tianbao had known since he was a child came to visit him again. Tianbao fell into his old ways and spent all day living and drinking. In less than two years, he spent all his wealth, and finally ended up relying on begging for a living. Until then.
, Tianbao regretted his past life and decided to change his past."
"One night, he came back from borrowing books. The ground was frozen and the road was slippery. In addition, he had not eaten a grain of rice all day. After a fall, he no longer had the strength to get up. After a while, he was frozen on the roadside."
"It happened that a member of the Communist Party of China named Wang was passing by at this time. When he saw Tianbao freezing with a book in his hand, he felt compassion for him and ordered his family to save Tianbao."
"After Tianbao was rescued, Wang Yuanwai inquired about his family background and sympathized with him, so he kept him by his side and planned to let Tianbao be the husband of his daughter Lamei."
"Tianbao couldn't help but quickly thanked Wang Yuanwai for saving his life. From then on, he stayed at Wang Yuanwai's house and diligently taught Lamei how to read and write."
"Wanmei grows like a flower, and is gentle and virtuous. Tianbao just focused on studying at first, but as time went by, he couldn't help but fall into the old habit of having wild thoughts about wintersweet and doing things. He was so angry that wintersweet went to his father to cry and complained. After hearing this, Wang Yuanwai
He kept his expression calmly. He was afraid that this matter would spread outside and affect his daughter's reputation, so he wrote a letter, called Tianbao, and said to him: Tianbao, I have an urgent matter that I need your help with."
"Tianbao said: Yuanwai has been so kind to me that I will never refuse, no matter what."
"Wang Yuanwai said: I have a cousin who lives by a bridge in a certain place. I would like you to give this letter to him when you arrive."
"After that, I gave Tianbao twenty taels of silver as payment."
"Although Tianbao didn't want to leave Wintersweet, he had no choice but to go on the road in despair."
"Unexpectedly, after arriving at the place Wang Yuanwai mentioned, there were bridges everywhere. Tianbao searched for more than half a month, but he couldn't find the residence of Wang Yuanwai's cousin. Seeing that the money was about to be spent, he had no choice but to open the letter and try to remember
Download the above content to avoid losing it.”
When Chen Xuanjun said this, he deliberately changed the subject and said, "Do you know what is written in the letter?"
Red Fish looked like a curious baby and said coquettishly: "I'm not a god, so I can't guess it."
Chen Xuanjun smiled and said with a complex expression: "There are four sentences written in the letter: There was a frozen beggar on the roadside back then, but today he dares to play with wintersweet. There is no cousin by the bridge, and there is no need to return after spending all the money."
"Tianbao was so ashamed after reading the letter that he wanted to throw himself into the river. But then he thought: Wang Yuanwai not only saved his life, but also preserved his reputation. Why couldn't he earn twenty taels of silver and return it to Wang Yuanwai? When
How about asking him to apologize?"
"So Tianbao cheered up, helped others work during the day, and stayed up late at night to copy and read. After three years, he not only accumulated twenty taels of silver, but also became a learned and talented man."
"At this time, the entrance exams were just starting, and Tianbao went to Beijing to take the exam, and he was selected as a candidate. So he traveled all day and night to go back and plead guilty to the king."
"When he arrived at Wang Yuanwai's house, Tianbao knelt down with a plop, holding a letter and twenty taels of silver in his hand, and told Wang Yuanwai that he was guilty. When Wang Yuanwai saw that the person in front of him was Tianbao, he quickly took the letter and the money, and took a look
Originally it was the letter he wrote three years ago. However, after his four sentences, four more sentences were added: "Three years ago, my cousin was not found, and I returned the silver in front of the benefactor's hall. The prodigal son returned home without gold, and returned home in rich clothes to become a sage."
."
"The king was overjoyed. He quickly helped Tianbao up, asked him about his welfare, and promised Tianbao the winter plum with his own words. From then on, the saying "The prodigal son returns home without money" has been spread to this day."
After Chen Xuanjun finished speaking, he sat up straight, picked up the warm tea in front of him, and said softly: "In the winter ten years ago, in that ruined temple, you were really similar to Tianbao who was frozen on the roadside."
"The grains of rice were not yet eaten, so I huddled in the corner shivering and almost died."
