Vol 12 Chapter 41: Repay

Said that there is a Xijiatun at the end. There is a villager named Xi Maozhao in the village who is a trader. In the summer of this year, he went to Henan to do business. However, Henan flooded the river and overturned the ship and lost the capital. Encountered with blackmail and blackmail, he was only penniless and provoked eight ropes. Pick some vegetables from the market, pick them in the village to sell them, and collect some road expenses. After a lot of hard work, he returned home only the next year. After coming back, I got a serious illness and exhausted my family's savings to barely save my life, but he often vomited blood when he couldn't work.
This day, sitting on the stone in front of the door and resting, three passers-by came by. Xi Maozhao knew that these three were famous and endless, and he said that he had been in bad luck for many years. Recently, he had encountered three great immortals. He had heard that some people knew them, so he mixed up with the county officials. Why don't you ask the master to make a calculation, when will my son marry his wife? So he warmly invited to his home, greeted his wife to boil water, and entertained the guests. When there was nothing to entertain the guests at home, they picked up the cucumbers in the courtyard. The three of them were very pious and thanked.
In the chat, the three saw the Xi family's house was dilapidated and poor, and they lived a hard life. They asked the Xi family what it was like to make a living. Xi Maozhao said with shame. He said that he had done some business in his early years and didn't want to lose his capital in Henan. Now he is sitting on the hill and eating. Now, Xi Jian, a child, is 18 years old, and he is looking for a livelihood for his children. Generally, the wealthy environment, when children are so old, is already the age of marriage. The poor family is poor, and there are no matchmakers to come to the house.
The three of them met Xi Jian with a gentle character, and they were a pretty little brother, but they were very sensible. Xin said that it was a pity not to study in such a family.
Was thinking, Xi Jian took out a booklet from the back room and asked for the words above. The three of them brought it over and saw that it was an account book of a buying and selling shop, and asked Xi Maozhao why he had this thing? Xi Maozhao introduced the source of the account book.
It turned out that while Xi Maozhao picked eight ropes in Henan, one evening, Xi Maozhao returned to sell vegetables and sat down to rest in a grove beside a hillside. At this time a horse with a high head was running from the small road, and the person immediately carried a chain on his back, strangled the horse near the small woods, and solved the small woods. Hang the chain on the tree, and when the solution is finished, hurriedly mount the horse and gallop away, but forget the chain on the tree! Xi Maozhao shouted a few words, the other party did not hear, opened the chain to see, it was full of silver ingots. He took the chain and put it in the load, covered it with vegetables, and waited for the man to come back. For a long time, the man returned quickly, and saw that there was no chain in the tree and sat on the ground.
After a while, he untied his belt and laid himself on the tree. Seeing this, Xi Ma quickly stepped forward to persuade him. In the speech, the two heard that they were fellows. The man called himself Su and his name was Su Hua. Just because of the lawsuit, his father was detained in Yamen, and Su Hua put some silver in his shop and was about to manage his father to rescue him. Unexpectedly, he lost the silver in his impatience. Suddenly the thought of suicide came into being.
Xi Maozhao asked about the number of lost silver, and then took the chain from the basket to let Su Hua count. Su Hua was very grateful and said: "Theoretically, you picked up my silver and I will give you half of it. The helpless father is eager to spend money. My family is in Yahong Bridge in the middle of Wuzhong. Hongqiao will look for me and will be rewarded today! "
Xi Maozhao smiled bitterly and said, "It's unclear when I go outside, when I return home is unknown. You and I are not at home, even if you go, no one will recognize it." Su Hua took out a book from his body. Say: "Whoever goes, but with this thing, you will know the truth."
Xi Maozhao said to the three of them: "That's how I have this book in my hand. I can't recognize a few words. Children are easy to learn, and every time they meet a literate person, they will ask for words that they don't know."
Negative sword young man picked up the account book, and the amount of accounts in the shop recorded above was not small, it should be the account book of the big shop. Perhaps it was indeed thirsty. The short young man had already eaten two cucumbers in Titicaca. Then he said, "Please ask me to come in outside the seat. Do you have anything to ask?"
To say that this guest, if he doesn't move his mouth, the host can hardly ask for help. Seeing the three people willing to eat today, Xi Maozhao had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so Xi Maozhao said: "Small want to ask the master to see how the child's future is, the small family is poor, when can they marry. "
The short young man said: "Report the character of the youngest son's birthday, let me see it." Xi Maozhao reported the character of Xi Jian's birthday. The short young man said after a while, "This is what happened to you. It ’s on Su Hua. Although it ’s a matter of conspiracy to make things happen to people, sometimes it may work. Come over with ears.

Xi Maozhao heard it really, and thanked him again and again. The three of them also held their fists and said: "You don't have to be polite, then we will drink the young man's wedding wine." Then the three of them drifted away.
Said that Xi Maozhao was very happy to hear the words of the three masters, and set about preparing now.
This day, a beautiful guy came to Yahong Bridge. A member of Qiaotou was nervously looking out to see this beautiful guy in the distance, and hurriedly greeted: "Brother, take a step to speak." Brother came to him in a secluded place with him, and the man said, "My child grew up with Su The family is engaged and married today. Because of their ugly appearance, I am afraid that the other party ’s family will see the regret or the bride will not get on the sedan. I want you to come to meet my relatives instead of my children. "
Don't guess, you can see that this little brother is Xi Jian. Xi Jian promised in full accordance with the inevitable three orders, the man was about to give Xi Jian home and ordered to dress up according to the groom. Ride the horse to meet the relatives.
Went to the bride's house for a ceremony and was about to set off. A family member came to report that the bridge was banned. It turned out that it was the rainy season. The water in the river soared early this morning, and a boat was tied to the wooden pier. Because of the rising water, it was originally tied to the shore, and now it is close to the heart of the river. The boat was washed by the flood and hit the wooden bridge pier. Seeing the danger of the bridge, the river official ordered people to stop the pedestrians and order them to throw stones at the boat, fill the boat, and sink the boat into the water. Perhaps the start was late, and the pier was still damaged. The bridge collapsed as the flood rose. The marriage team was trapped in the bride's house.
The water is so high that no one will dare to take a ferry within a few days, so the marriage date will be wrong. The bride's father said: "Tonight is a good day, how can you miss it? Just get married here!" The people in the marriage team disagree, but there is no way.
In the new house, Xi Jian didn't take off his coat and sat all night, and it remained the same the next day. Seeing this, the bride said to Xi Jian: "Is Lang Jun disgusting me because he is ugly and unworthy of serving Lang Jun?" ? It ’s just that you and I are not a couple, and the niche did n’t dare make it. "
If there is a sound outside, tell the staff outside. Su family members were shocked after hearing the news, and hurried to the cave to ask: "I don't know why the son said something that is not a couple?" It's really unacceptable to welcome the relatives, please ask for forgiveness outside the staff. "The staff member asked:" Who are you going to vote for? "Xi Jian replied:" Go to the Suhua staff's house to vote for relatives. "The staff member asked again:" Have you ever seen Su Hua? "Xi Jian replied:" I haven't seen him in late life. It was my father's entrustment to come to see my father's old friend. "The staff member also said," You haven't seen Su Hua yet. How can you recognize each other when you see each other? " "Xi Jiandao said:" There is a book to prove! "The member was excited when he saw the account book outside, and said," Are you Xi Xi? "Xi Jian answered" Exactly! "
The other member said happily, "Then you are right! Here is, I am Su Hua! Your father was so eager to collect the money and saved my father and son's lives. I always thought about his great grace and never dared to forget it. It's just regret that I was in a hurry and didn't have time to ask about where you lived. It was a coincidence that you became my son-in-law. This is what God meant! "Then he said to his daughter:" Xi Lang is your son-in-law! " , The two are more loving, the couple is happy.
Afterwards, the other party sue to the government. County magistrate Qiao Yu called Su Hua to the Yamen, and asked why he regretted his marriage. Su Hua said: "At the time of marriage, I did not know that the other party had an impostor. Now the rice is cooked and mature, Can you blame me? "
The county magistrate Qiao Yu said to the family: "Miss Su's family is now incomplete. If you are awarded to your family, you will lose the beauty of both. This matter was originally your family's deception, and it was your fault. Now you can only withdraw your engagement. , Your family marries another door. Miss Su severed to the Xi family, if there is any entanglement, investigate the crime of impostor! "The other party has nothing to say.
Since then, the two of Su Xi got married and the Su family turned over the new house for the Xi family.
And said that this endless shop, a merchant came to buy a haunted house in the city.
