Laughing Innin
Wang Zifu from Lodian lost his father early. Mother did not take her eyes off him. She grabbed a young lady from the Xiao family, only she died before the wedding. Somehow, on the lantern festival, a cousin went to Van and carried him along to watch the festivities. Soon, his brother returned home on an urgent matter, and Wang, in an excited rapture, went off for a walk alone.
And then he saw a young lady with a branch of a flowering plum in his hand. A face of such beauty that it never happens in the world. The student could not take his eyes off. The young lady burst out laughing, dropped the branch and left. The student picked up a flower, went home saddened, where he hid the flower under his pillow, drooped his head and then fell asleep. The next morning it turned out that he had stopped eating and talking. Mother was alarmed, ordered a moleben with a spell from obsession, but the patient became even worse.
Mother begged Brother W to question Wang. He confessed everything. Brother U laughed at his misfortune and promised to help. I began to look for a girl. But nowhere could I find her. And Van, meanwhile, had a lot of fun. I had to lie that the young lady was found, turned out to be a distant relative - this, of course, will complicate the matchmaking, but in the end everything will form. A hopeful student began to recover fully. Only Wu did not appear. And again the student got sick. His mother offered him other brides, but Wang did not want to listen. Finally, he decided to go in search of a beauty.
He walked, walked until he ended up in the South Mountains. There, among the bowls and flower glades, a village lurks. It was there that the student met his missing young lady. She again held a flower in her hand and laughed again. The student did not know how to meet her. I waited until the evening when the old woman left the house and began to ask who he was and why he had come. He explained that he was looking for a relative. Word for word, it turned out that they were indeed related. They led the student into the house, introduced the young lady, and she knew she laughed without restraint, although the old woman tried to shout at her.
A few days later, the mother sent messengers for her son. And he persuaded the old woman to let Innin go with him, so that she would meet her new relative. Mother, having learned about relatives, was very surprised. She knew that Brother U had simply deceived his son. But they began to find out - indeed, relatives. Once one of their kinsmen confessed to the fox, fell ill with a sucker and died, and the fox gave birth to a girl named Innin. Then U decided to check everything and went to that village, but found nothing there except flowering thickets. He returned, and the young lady only laughs.
Wang's mother, deciding that the girl was a demon, told her everything she had learned about her. Only she was not at all embarrassed, giggled and giggled. Wang’s mother had already gathered to marry the young lady with her son, but was afraid to become related with the demon. Still, they got married.
Once Innin saw a neighbor and began to persuade her to fornication. And she only laughs. He decided that she agreed. At night he appeared at the appointed place, and the young lady was waiting for him. As soon as he clung to her, as in a secret place he felt an injection. He looked - he pressed against a dry tree, in the hollow of which a huge scorpion lurked. The adulter suffered and died. Mother understood that the matter was in the daughter-in-law's irrepressible gaiety. I begged her to stop laughing, she promised, And in fact, she no longer laughed without restraint, but she remained cheerful as before.
Innin once confessed to her husband that she was grieving that her mother was still not buried, the body of the unfortunate woman remained in the mountains. She admitted because the student and his mother, although they knew about her fox nature, did not shy from their relatives. They set off to the mountains with a coffin, found the body, and buried with appropriate ceremonies in the grave of Father Innin. A year later, Innin gave birth to an unusually intelligent child.
This means that stupid laughter is not a reason to deny a person the presence of heart and mind. Look how you have avenged the fornication! And as a mother revered and regretted - for nothing that a demonic breed. Perhaps, in general, Innin is this strange woman, in fact, a hermit, hiding from everyone, hiding in laughter?
Lotus fairy
Zong Xianzhuo from Huzhou served somewhere. Once in an autumn field he caught a couple. The man picked up and ran away. Zong looked, and the damsel was pretty, her body was magnificent and smooth, like lipstick. He persuaded her to visit a secluded office in his house late in the evening. The virgin agreed, and at night poured, so to speak, exhausting rain from swollen clouds - the most complete love affair was established between them. Month after month, everything was kept secret.
Once, a Buddhist monk saw Zong. I realized that he was tormented by demonic obsession. Zong, indeed, was weakening day by day. I began to suspect the virgin. The monk ordered the servant of Zong to lure the virgin fox - and that was the fox! - into the jug, fill the neck with a special talisman, put on fire and boil in the boiler.
At night, the maiden, as usual, came to Zong, brought the patient wonderful oranges. The servant cleverly did everything as the monk ordered, but he was just about to put the jug in the vat with boiling water, as Zong, looking at the oranges, remembered the kindness of his beloved, took pity on her and ordered the servant to let the virgin fox out of the jug. She promised to thank him for mercy and disappeared.
At first, a stranger handed medicine to the servant, and Zong began to recover quickly. He understood that it was a fox's gratitude, and again dreamed of seeing a girlfriend. At night she appeared to him. She explained that she had found a bride in her place. You just have to go to the lake and find the beauty in the crepe cape, and if her trace is lost, look for a lotus with a short stalk.
Zong did just that. Immediately I saw the maiden in the cape, she disappeared, and when he plucked the lotus, she reappeared in front of him. Then - once! - and turned into stone. Zong set him up on the table with care and set it on fire. And at night he found a virgin in his bed. He loved her tightly. No matter how she resisted, no matter how assured that her nature was fox, Zong did not let her go anywhere, and they healed together. She was only very silent.
The virgin was expecting a baby and took birth at her place, and the next morning she was again healthy. After six or seven years, she suddenly announced to her husband that she had atoned for her sins, and it was time to say goodbye. he begged her to stay, but in vain. In the eyes of the amazed, Zong soared up to heaven, he only had time to tear off the shoe from her leg. Immediately the shoe turned into a stone red swallow. A crepe cape was found in the chest. When he wanted to see the maiden, he took the cape in his hands and called her. Immediately a beauty appeared before him - her exact likeness, only dumb.
Jiangcheng Wicked Wife
Student Gao Fan from childhood was quick-witted, had a beautiful face and pleasant manners. Parents dreamed of successfully marrying him, but he was capricious, abandoning the richest brides, and his father did not dare to argue with his only son.
But he fell in love with the daughter of the poor scientist Fan. No matter how his mother dissuaded him, he did not back down from his own: they played a wedding. The couple was a wonderful couple, very suitable for each other, only a young wife (and her name was Jiangcheng) from time to time began to get angry with her husband, turning away from him, as if from a stranger. Somehow, Gao's parents heard her screams, reprimanded her son, saying, why did he dissolve his wife. He tried to inform Jiangcheng, but she was even more furious, beat her husband, drove him out the door, and the door shut.
Further things went even worse, the wife did not know the shortcut at all, she was constantly angry. Old Gao demanded that the son give his wife a divorce.
A year later, Jiangcheng's father, old Fan, having met a student, begged him to visit their house. An elegant Jiangcheng came out, the couple were moved, and in the meantime they had already set the table, and the son-in-law began to regale with wine. Student and stayed overnight. And he hid everything from his parents. Soon Fan came to old Gao to persuade him to take his daughter-in-law back to the house. He opposed, but, with extreme amazement, learns that his son spends his nights with his wife, reconciled and agreed.
The month passed quietly, but soon Jiangcheng took up the old - parents began to notice traces of her nails on her son's face, and then saw how she was beating her husband with a stick. Then the old men told their son to live alone and only sent him food. Fanya was called to calm down that daughter, but she didn’t want to listen to her father, showered him with insulting, nasty words. He died of anger, and after him the old woman died.
The student yearned, alone, and the matchmaker sometimes began to lead young girls to have fun with him. Once the wife tracked the matchmaker, she threatened to find out the details of her nightly visits and, under the guise of another guest, she herself entered the bedroom of her husband. When everything was opened, the unfortunate got so scared that from then on and in the rare moments of conjugal favor he turned out to be incapable of anything. His wife completely reserved him.
The student had the right to leave only to the husband of his wife's sister, with whom he sometimes drank. But Jiangcheng showed her burrows here: she beat her sister half to death, her husband was driven out of the yard. Gao completely dried up, abandoned classes, failed the exam. I could not say a word to anyone. Once I spoke with my own maid, so my wife grabbed a jug of wine and let them pound her husband, then tied him and the maid, cut each piece of meat on his stomach and transplanted from one to the other.
Gao's mother was very sad. Once in a dream, an old man appeared to her, who explained that in her last birth, Jiangcheng was a mouse, and her son a scientist. Once, in a temple, he accidentally crushed a mouse, and now is experiencing his revenge. Therefore, it remains only to pray. The old men began to earnestly offer prayers to the divine Guanyin.
After a while a wandering monk appeared. He began to preach rewards for the deeds of his former life. The people gathered. Jiangcheng also came. Suddenly, the monk sprayed her with clean water, shouted: "Do not be angry!" - and, without saying a single angry word to him, the woman wandered home.
At night, she repented to her husband, all his scars and bruises left after her beating, stroked, sobbed incessantly, reproached herself with the last words. And in the morning they returned to the house of the elderly, Jiangcheng and obeyed them, lay at her feet, praying for forgiveness.
From that time, Jiangcheng became an obedient wife and a respectful daughter-in-law. The family got rich. A student in the sciences succeeded.
So, the reader, a person in his life will certainly receive the fruit of his deeds: he drinks or eats - there will certainly be a reward for his deeds.
Minister of Literary Education
Wang Pintzi arrived in the capital to take exams for an official and settled in the temple. There already lived a student who did not even want to meet Van.
Once a young man dressed in white came into the temple. Van quickly became friends with him. He was a native of Dengzhou and bore the surname Song. A student appeared, immediately showing his arrogance. He tried to offend Sun, but he himself turned out to be a universal laughing stock. Then the insolent offered to compete in the ability to compose on a given topic. And again, Song surpassed him.
Then Wang led him to him to familiarize himself with his work. Song praised and criticized. Wang felt great confidence in him, as if to a teacher. treated him with dumplings. Since then, they met often: Song taught a friend to compose, and he fed him dumplings. Over time, the student, who diminished his arrogance, asked me to evaluate his works, already highly praised by friends. Song did not approve of them, and the student held a grudge.
One day, Wang and Song met a blind hash doctor. Song immediately understood that Heshan was a great connoisseur of literary style. He advised Wang to bring his essays to the hashana. Van obeyed, gathered his work at home and went to the blind man. On the way, I met a student who also got along with him. Cheshan said that he did not have time to listen to his compositions, and ordered them to be burned one by one - he would be able to understand everything by smell. So they did. Hashan reviews were unusually insightful. Only the student did not believe them too much. He burned the works of ancient authors for the experience - the hashan was delighted, and when the student burned his own work, the blind man instantly caught the substitution and spoke about his talent with complete neglect.
However, in exams, the student succeeded, and Wang failed. They went to the hashan. He remarked that he judged style, not fate. He offered the student to burn eight of any works, and he, hashan, guesses which of the authors is his teacher. He began to burn. Heshan sniffed until he suddenly vomited - the student was just burning the work of his mentor. The student was furious and left, and then he got out of the temple somewhere.
And Van decided to prepare hard for the exams for next year. Sung helped him. In addition, in the house where he lived, a treasure was discovered that once belonged to his grandfather. The time for exams came, but Van again failed - he violated some once and for all established rules. Song was inconsolable, and Wang had to reassure him. He admitted that it was not a man at all, but a wandering soul, and, apparently, the curse gravitating over him applies to his friends.
It soon became clear that the Lord of Hell ordered the Sun to be in charge of literary affairs in the cloister of darkness. In parting, he advised Sun Wang to work hard, and then said that all the food that he had eaten all the time in Wang’s house was in the backyard and was already overgrown with magic mushrooms — every child who ate them would wise up at once. So they parted.
Wang went to his homeland, began to engage with even greater zeal and concentration. In a dream, Song appeared to him and said that the sins of past births would prevent him from taking an important post. And in fact: Wang passed the exams, but did not serve. He had two sons. One turned out to be dull. His father fed him mushrooms, and he immediately wiser. All of Sun's predictions came true.
The Wizard of Gong
Taoist Gong had neither a name nor a nickname. Once I wanted to see the Prince of Lusk, but the gatekeepers did not begin to report. Then the Taoist pestered the same with the official who left the palace. He ordered to drive away the ragged man. Taoist started to run. Once in the wasteland, he laughed, took out the gold and asked to be handed over to the official. He didn’t ask the prince at all, but simply wanted to take a walk in the magnificent palace garden.
The official, seeing the gold, picked up and led the Taoist through the garden. Then they climbed the tower. Taoist pushed the official, and he flew down. It turned out that he was suspended on a thin rope, and the Taoist disappeared. The poor man was hardly saved. The prince ordered to find the Taoist. Togo was soon taken to the palace.
After a rich treat, the Taoist demonstrated his skills to the prince: he removed from the sleeve the singers who sang for the prince, fairies and celestials, and the heavenly weaver even presented the prince with a magic dress. The delighted prince invited the guest to settle in the palace, to which he refused, continuing to live with student Shana, although sometimes he stayed overnight with the prince and arranged all sorts of miracles.
The student alone made friends shortly before and became close to Hui Ge's songwriter, and the prince called her to the palace. The student asked the Taoist for help. He put Shan in his sleeve and went to play chess with the prince. He saw Hui Ge and imperceptibly to others waved her on the sleeve. There are lovers and met. So they saw each other three times, and then the little songgirl suffered. You cannot conceal the child in the palace, and the student again fell at the feet of the Taoist. He agreed to help. Once he brought home a baby, whom the clever wife Shana meekly accepted, and gave his robe, stained with maternity blood, to the student, saying that even a scrap of it would help with difficult births.
After some time, the Taoist announced that he would die soon. The prince did not want to believe, but he soon really died. They buried him with honor. And the student began to help with difficult births. Once the prince’s beloved concubine could not resolve herself. He helped her too. The prince wanted to generously bestow on him, but the student wished one thing - to connect with his beloved Hui Ge. The prince agreed. Their son has become equal for eleven years. He remembered his benefactor-Taoist, visited his grave.
Once, in a distant land, a local merchant met Taoist, who asked him to hand over a bundle to the prince. The prince admitted his thing, but, without understanding anything, ordered to tear the tomb of Taoist. The coffin was empty.
How wonderful it would be if this would actually happen - “heaven and earth are in the sleeve”! Then die in such a sleeve - it would be worth it!
Leprosy Xiaotsui
Even as a child with Minister Wang, when he was lying on his bed, this happened: suddenly a strong thunder struck, it darkened all around, and someone, the size of a cat, clung to him, and as soon as the dusk dissipated and everything became clear - an incomprehensible creature disappeared. Brother explained that it was a fox who took refuge from Thunder of Thunder, and her appearance promises a high career. And so it happened - Van excelled in life. But his only son was stupid, and there was no way he could marry him.
But once a woman with a girl of extraordinary beauty entered the gate of the estate of Vanov and offered her daughter a fool, Yuanfeng, as a wife. Parents rejoiced. Soon the woman disappeared, and the girl Xiaoqui began to live in the house.
She was extraordinarily quick-witted, but all the time she had fun and was mischievous and joked at her husband. The mother-in-law will begin to scold her, but she know is silent, smiles. There was a censor on the same street, also named Wang. He dreamed of our Van to salt. And Xiaotsui, dressed up somehow as the first minister, gave the censor an occasion to suspect her father-in-law in secret machinations against him. A year later, the real minister died, the censor appeared in Van’s house and accidentally ran into his son, dressed in a royal dress. He took the fool's clothes and hat and went to inform the sovereign.
Meanwhile, Wang and his wife went to punish the daughter-in-law for stupid fun. She just laughed.
The sovereign examined the clothes brought and realized that it was just fun, was angry at the false denunciation and ordered the censor to be brought to justice. He tried to prove that an unclean power lives in the house of Van, but the servants and neighbors refuted everything. The censor was exiled to the far south.
Since then, the family loved the daughter-in-law. True, they were worried that young children did not.
Once a wife jokingly covered her husband with a blanket. Look, he’s not breathing anymore. As soon as they attacked the daughter-in-law with swearing, the barit came to his senses and became normal, as if he were not a fool. Now the young have finally healed in a human way.
Once a young woman dropped and smashed an expensive old vase. They began to reproach her. Then she announced that she was not at all a man, but lived in the house only in gratitude for the kind attitude to her fox mother. Now she will leave. And disappeared.
The husband began to dry with longing. Two years later, he somehow heard a voice from behind the fence and realized that it was his wife, Xiaotsuy. Wang begged her to settle in their house again, even a mother urged her to persuade. But Xiaotsui agreed to live with him only in seclusion, in a country house.
After some time, she began to age. They had no children, and she persuaded her husband to take a young concubine. He refused, but then decided. The new wife turned out to be spilled Xiaoqui in his youth. And that meanwhile disappeared. My husband understood that she purposely made her face old, so that he could more easily accept her disappearance.
Healer Jiaono
Student Kun Xueli was a descendant of the Perfect, that is, Kunzi, Confucius. Being educated, well-read, he wrote poetry well. Once I went to a learned friend, but he died. I had to temporarily settle in the temple. Somehow, Mr. Dan was walking past the empty house, and a handsome young man suddenly came out of the gate. I began to persuade the student to move into the house and teach, instruct him, a young man. Soon the Senior Master arrived. He thanked the student that he did not refuse to teach his dumb son. Gave generously. The student continued to instruct, educate the young man, and in the evenings they drank wine and had fun.
The heat came. And then the student got a tumor. The young man called on sister Jiaono to treat the teacher. She came. She quickly dealt with the disease, and when she spat out a red ball from her mouth, the student immediately felt healthy. Then she put the ball back in her mouth and swallowed.
Since then, the student has lost his peace - all about the beautiful Jiaono thought. Only she was too small for years. Then the young man invited him to marry dear Song, the daughter of his aunt. That is older. The student looked at him, immediately fell in love. Have a wedding. Soon the young man and his father were about to leave. And Kun was advised to return home with his wife. The old man gave them one hundred gold bars. The young man took the young by the arms, ordered them to close their eyes, and in a flash they fluttered, overpowered the expanse. Arrived home. And the young men were gone.
Healed with mother Kuhn. A son named Xiaohuan was born. Kun was promoted, but was suddenly removed from office.
Once, hunting, he met a young man again. He invited to his village. Kun came with his wife and child. Jiaono came too. She was already married to a certain gentleman. Healed together. Once a young man told Kun that a terrible misfortune was coming and that only he, Kun, could save them. He agreed. The young man admitted that in their family all are not people, but foxes, but Kun did not back down.
A terrible thunderstorm began. In the darkness arose a resemblance to a demon with a sharp beak, and grabbed Jiaono. Kun hit him with a sword. The demon collapsed to the ground, but Kun fell dead.
Jiaono, seeing a student who died because of her, ordered her to hold his head, open his teeth, and she let a red ball into his mouth. She clung to her lips and began to blow, and the ball gurgled in her throat. Soon, Kun woke up and came to life.
It turned out that the whole family of Jiaono’s husband died in a thunderstorm. She had a young man with Kun and his wife to go to their homeland. And healed together. Kun's son grew up, became handsome. But something fox could be seen in his face. Everyone in the district knew that it was a fox cub.
Faithful Matchmaker Qingmei
Once, a student of Cheng fluttered out of her clothes some maiden of rare beauty. Admitted, however, that she is a fox. The student was not afraid and began to live with her. She bore him a girl, who was named Qingmei - Plum.
Only one student asked: do not marry. She promised in due time to give birth to a boy. But because of the ridicule of his relatives and friends, he could not stand it and grabbed the damsel Wang. The fox got angry and left.
Qingmei grew up smart, pretty. I got into the maids of the house of a certain Wang, to his daughter A Si, fourteen years old. They were imbued with mutual sympathy.
Student Zhang lived in the same city, poor, but honest and devoted to science, who did nothing in any way. Qingmei once went to his house. He sees: Zhang himself is eating a broth of bran, and for the elderly parents he has stocked pork legs; for father, as if for a small child, walks. She began to persuade Xi to marry him. She was afraid of poverty, but agreed to try to persuade her parents. It didn’t work out.
Then Qingmei herself offered herself to a student. He wanted to take her honor in honor, but was afraid that he did not have enough money. Just then, A Si's father, Wang, was offered the position of county governor. Before leaving, he agreed to give his handmaid to the concubines of Zhang. Partly Qingmei herself amassed money, partly Zhzhanov’s mother collected.
Qingmei led the whole household in the house, earned money by embroidering, and took care of the elderly. Zhang devoted himself entirely to scientific studies. Meanwhile, Wang's wife died in a far western county, then he himself went on trial and went bankrupt. The servants fled. Soon, the owner himself died. But C remained an orphan, grieving that she could not even worthily bury her parents. I wanted to marry the one who arranged the funeral. She even agreed to go as a concubine, but the master’s wife drove her away. I had to settle at the temple. Only dashing fellows harassed her with harassment. She even wondered if she could have a hand on herself.
One day a rich lady with servants took refuge in a temple from a thunderstorm. It turned out - this is Qingmei. She and C recognized each other, hugged with tears. Zhang, as it turned out, succeeded, became the head of the court. Qingmei immediately began to persuade A Xi to fulfill the destiny, to marry Zhang. She resisted, but Qingmei insisted. She herself began, as before, faithfully serving the lady. Never too lazy, did not neglect.
Later, Zhang became a fellow minister. By his decree, the emperor granted both women the title of “mistress,” Zhang had children from both of them.
Here, reader, what bizarre, crooked paths, circular paths went the virgin, to whom the Sky entrusted the arrangement of this marriage!
Red jasper
Old Man Feng from Guangping had an only son, Xiangju. Both the wife and daughter-in-law died, with everything in the house, the father and son were controlled by themselves.
One evening, Xanju saw a neighbor's maiden named Hongyu, red Jasper. Their secret love was sweetened. Six months later, my father found out about it, he was angry terribly. Virgo decided to leave the young man, but goodbye persuaded him to get married to a girl from the Wei family, who lived in the village nearby. Even he gave silver to such a thing.
The girl’s father was flattered by silver, and a prenuptial agreement was concluded. The young lived in peace and harmony, they had a boy named Fuer. The local tycoon, who lived in the neighborhood, once saw a young woman and began to harass her. She refused him. Then his servants broke into the Feng’s house, beat the old man and Syanzh, and took the woman by force with them.
The old man could not stand the humiliation and soon died. The son was left with the boy in his arms. I tried to complain, but I did not get the truth. Then it came to him that his wife, not having endured insults, had died. I even thought about killing the offender, but he was guarded, and there was no one left for the child.
One day a stranger came to him with a mourning visit. He began to persuade him to take revenge on Suna, and promised himself to fulfill his plan. A frightened student took his son in his arms and ran away from home. And at night, someone stabbed Sun, both of his sons and one of his wives. The student was blamed. They removed the scientist's vestments, a special suit, and, well, tortured him. He unlocked.
The ruler, who did the wrong trial, woke up at night because a dagger was thrust into his bed with unprecedented power. With fear, he charged the student.
The student returned home. Now he was all alone. Where the child is, it is not known, because he was taken from the unfortunate. Once, someone knocked on the gate. I looked - a woman with a child. Recognized Red Jasper with his son. I began to ask. She admitted that she was not a neighbor's daughter at all, but a fox. One night, I came across a crying child in a hollow in a hollow, and took him upbringing.
The student prayed that she would not leave him. Krasnaya Jasper was cleverly managed by the household, bought a loom, and leased land. The time has come for exams. The student was saddened: after all, his suit, the attire of the scientist, had been taken away from him. But the woman, it turned out, had long sent money to restore his name on the lists. So he successfully passed the exams. And his wife all worked, exhausted herself with work, but still remained tender and beautiful, as if at twenty.
Wang Cheng and quail
Wang Cheng came from an ancient family, was extremely lazy by nature, so his estate fell into decay more and more every day. Lied with his wife and know each other cursed.
It was a hot summer. The villagers - and Van, among others - got into the habit of spending the night in an abandoned garden. All the sleeping people got up early, only Van was rising when the red sun was already, as they say, rising to three bamboo poles. Once I found a precious gold pin in the grass. Then an old woman suddenly appeared and began to search for a pin. Van, though lazy, but honest, gave her a find. It turned out that the pin is the memory of her late husband. He asked his name and realized: this is his grandfather.
The old woman was also amazed. She admitted that she is a fairy fox. Wang invited the old woman to visit. On the threshold appeared a wife, disheveled, with a face - that a wilted vegetable, all black. The economy is in ruins. The old woman invited Van to do business. She said that she had saved some money while still living with his grandfather. You need to take them, buy canvas and sell in the city. Van bought a canvas and set off for the city.
On the road, it will rain. Clothes and shoes are wet through. He waited, waited and showed up in the city when canvas prices fell. Again, Van began to wait, but had to sell himself at a loss. He was about to return home, looked, and the money disappeared.
In the city, Van considered that the organizers of the quail fights have a huge profit. Scraped up the rest of the money and bought a quail cage. Then again the rain poured. Day after day it poured without ceasing. Van is watching, and the only quail remains in the cage, the rest are dead. It turned out that this is a bird-strongman and in battle there were no peers in the whole city. Six months later, Van had already accumulated decent money.
As always, on the first day of the new year, the local prince, who was known as a quail lover, began to call the sparrows to his palace. Wan went there too. His quail broke the best princely birds, and the prince set out to buy it. Wang refused for a long time, but finally haggled the bird expensively. He returned home with money.
At home, the old woman told him to buy land. Then they built a new house, furnished it. Healed like a noble noble. The old woman made sure that Wang and his wife were not lazy. Three years later, she suddenly disappeared.
That happens, it means that wealth is not extracted with one zeal. To know, the point is to keep the soul clean, then the sky will have mercy.
