The Yin family came after Guan Zhong. The seventh generation grandson Guan Xiu moved from Qi to Chu and was canonized as the official of Yin. Later generations took the fief as their surname, so the "Yin" family came into being.
Later, the Yin family moved to Xinye.
The Yin family is a wealthy family in Xinye, Nanyang, with a land of 700 hectares, many chariots, horses and servants, and a wealthy family.
The carriage continued to move forward, and when it reached Xinye, the woman respectfully said: "Two benefactors, please come to my Yin house for a rest!"
The Yin family's mansion is luxurious, with high thresholds, and the mansion is luxurious and majestic. Wu Han suddenly felt uncomfortable. He was just a common man, a man from the mountains. The threshold of the wealthy compound was too high, so how could he be a common man? "Since Madam,
We’re home, it’s time for me to leave!”
"My two benefactors, when you arrive in Nanye, why don't you come to Yin's house?" the woman continued to invite.
Liu Xiudao: "Well, Madam has invited me again and again, how can I not go?"
When they arrived at Xinye, servants came to greet them quickly. When they entered the Yin family's mansion, Liu Xiu's expression remained unchanged, but Wu Han was at a loss. When they arrived at the living room, the servants brought fruits, snacks, tea, etc. Liu Xiu was safe.
sit down.
Wu Han looked anxious, but refused to sit down.
"Brother Wu, sit down!" Liu Xiu said.
"I'd better stand!" Wu Han said.
"Brother Wu, you must be confident. The princes and generals will be very confident!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "In the past, Wei Qing was a slave in the palace of Princess Pingyang, with a low status. But later, Wei Qing drove the Huns north, became a general, and married Pingyang.
Princess, who dares to gossip!"
"It's a small thing to be born humble. Unfortunately, the descendants will also be humble. We cannot be officials for the second generation, but our descendants must be officials for the second generation!"
After Wu Han heard this, he seemed to have some understanding and sat down peacefully.
After a while, a middle-aged man walked out!
"I, Yin Lu, would like to thank my two benefactors. Without these two benefactors, my wife and my daughter, Lihua, would have encountered misfortune!" The head of the Yin family, who had gained weight and had a rosy complexion, said in a humble tone, "Where did these two benefactors come from?"
"I am Liu Xiu, a scholar from Caiyang!" Liu Xiu said again, "This hero Wu Han from Nanyang!"
Yin Lu asked and Liu Xiu responded.
Yin Lu secretly nodded, but Wu Han on the side was ignored.
After talking for a while, Liu Xiudao said: "Madam has arrived home, and we are leaving too!"
"Two benefactors, I can't repay the kindness of saving my life. I can only give you some yellow and white things. Don't dislike it!" Yin Lu said. The servant came forward, brought out a plate, opened the red cloth, and placed two
One ingot of gold and six ingots of silver.
At this time, most of the people in the countryside were bartering, using copper coins, cloth and silk as currency, gold and silver as currency, and it was just for wealthy families.
Two ingots of gold and six ingots of silver are quite a lot of money.
Looking at the gold and silver, Wu Han's face immediately turned red and he felt even more insulted: "We saved my wife and young lady not for the gold and silver, but for our righteous indignation. We show kindness without seeking repayment, and we gain without asking for anything!"
A gentleman should help those in need and resolve others' difficulties. If you show kindness as a reward, it is not a true help, it is not a true good deed, and it is not a good deed for others or yourself.
"Brother Wu, what you said is wrong." Liu Xiu said: "The law of Lu is that Lu people are slaves of other countries. To redeem them, you can take their gold from the government. Zigong redeemed Lu people but did not take their gold. He said: "Don't show kindness.
Picture report." Confucius said: "If you take the gold, you will not be harmed by the behavior; if you don't take the gold, you will not redeem the person." When Zilu saved someone, the people worshiped him with an ox, and Zilu accepted it. Confucius said: "The people of Lu
He must be saved. There are also good people flying around, good at learning righteousness, helping countless old and weak, without asking for anything in return. But the world does not remember kindness, but resents it!"
"It is the behavior of a villain to show kindness without intending to repay it. A gentleman should show kindness without intending to repay it, and then everyone will do good!"
"Been taught a lesson!"
Wu Han bowed and said.
With that said, he picked up the gold and silver on the plate and put them in his pockets. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then turned and left.
As for the Yin family, they didn't pay any attention to it.
…………
Liu Xiu left, Wu Han left.
A woman walked out, who was the person being rescued. Because she came from the Deng family, she was called Mrs. Deng.
Mrs. Deng said: "Where are these two benefactors?"
"I have given gold and silver to repay my kindness, but they have already left!" Yin Lu said.
Mrs. Deng said: "They took it!"
Yin Lu talked about what happened in the living room, and finally said: "It's okay now, the debt has been repaid."
"My husband is wrong!" Mrs. Deng said: "How can kindness and kindness be measured in money? Are our mother and daughter's lives only worth that little money!"
"Repay your kindness this way to avoid trouble in the future!" Yin Lu said.
"Husband is confused!" Mrs. Deng said rudely: "Husband, you are arrogant and do not know how high the sky is! You think that you are superior to others. I owe others a favor, so I can repay it with money. If someone owes me a favor, can I use money to pay it back?"
Repay. From now on, when people in the world interact with my Yin family, they will only have money and no kindness at all! Liu Xiu is neither humble nor arrogant, but he handles it properly! If it were me, he would just wave his sleeves and leave."
Yin Lu didn't refute, but he couldn't help but feel so in his heart.
Mrs. Deng sighed: No wonder the Yin family is just nestled in Xinye. After all, their structure is too small.
…………
After leaving the Yin family and Xinye, Wu Han was still aggrieved.
Liu Xiudao: "The hero saved the beauty. If the hero is good-looking, the beauty will say that there is no way to repay the life-saving grace, so she can only give her life; if the hero is an ugly man, the beauty will say that there is no way to repay the life-saving grace."
I think I will be a cow or a horse in the next life to repay this kindness!"
"We were all given a life-saving grace, but we were treated differently because of our ugliness and beauty. We were both humble and humble, so we gave it away with a few stinky money. If we were from a distinguished family, how could he or would he dare to use a few stinky money to do so?
!Brother Wu, don’t act bravely next time, especially don’t save noble people!”
Liu Xiu said in an indifferent tone.
What the hell, I really thought I was saving people just to curry favor with you and for a few stinky money. You are overthinking. To prevent you from overthinking, next time you encounter something like this, just go to hell!
The two continued to move forward, chatting happily with each other.
Finally, when they reached a fork in the road, the two of them said goodbye and headed home.
Turn over and mount the horse, Liu Xiu will go home and continue to be an otaku. There are many tricks in the city, so it is better to go home and continue to be a farmer and continue farming.
The sound of a carriage came from behind, and a moment later the carriage came and blocked the front. The coachman stepped forward and pulled the curtains, revealing a girl.
Liu Xiu was silent.
The girl said: "Don't let your benefactor get angry when your father is rude!"
It's natural to be angry, but being angry at the little girl is a bit excessive.
"Little sister, I'm not angry anymore!" Liu Xiudao: "My name is Liu Xiu, I'm sixteen years old. How old is my little sister?"
"My name is Yin Lihua, I am six years old this year!" The little girl blinked her eyes, a little confused, and said with a milky voice.
