Chapter 3 The second Kui Xingzhao Meng Zhongliang was born

It is said that in Baojia Village, Hefei County, Luzhou Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River, there was a Baoyuan, named Huai, with a huge family fortune and a kind nature. Everyone called him Bao Shanren, and also called him Bao Wanwan. Court Lord Zhou had two sons. His first name was Baoshan, and his wife was Wang; his second name was Baohai, and his wife was Li.Bao Shan gave birth to a son before the full moon, and Bao Hai had no children.Na Baoshan is honest and mature, honest and selfless.Wang is also a man of three obediences and four virtues.Bao Hai is bitter, mean, treacherous and vicious.

Mrs. Li also has a bad heart.Fortunately, the old man has a good way of governing the family, and the uncle and his wife are submissive in every possible way, so the family is still harmonious.Father, son and brother plant in spring and harvest in autumn, and work in agriculture. Although they are not from the family of poetry and calligraphy, they are industrious and thrifty.Unexpectedly, this year, Mrs. Zhou, the gentleman of the old courtyard, suddenly became pregnant again. Bao Yuan thought outside: I already have children and grandchildren, and it will be more tiring to have children.In addition, the emperor is nearly fifty years old, how can he endure the pain of childbirth and the hard work of breastfeeding?Sullen all day long.

Sitting alone in the study this day, he was hesitating about this matter, his eyes were sleepy, and he lay down on the bed.When it was hazy, I saw auspicious clouds lingering in the mid-air, auspicious air fluttering, suddenly a red light flashed, and a monster fell down in front of it, with two horns on its head, blue face and red hair, huge fangs, a silver ingot in its left hand, and a vermilion pen in its right. , dancing and rushing forward.The member outside shouted, but it was a dream when he woke up, and his heart was still beating wildly.Just as he was in a trance, he suddenly saw a maid come in through the curtain and reported: "The staff is overjoyed!"Just now An Ren gave birth to a son, and the slaves came to report.Hearing this, the outsiders took a breath, only to be terrified and suspicious.After being stunned for a long time, he coughed and said: That's all, that's all!The family is unlucky, and this evil spirit is born, it is really an enemy.

Standing up hastily, coughing every step, came to the backyard to have a look.Fortunately, the man was safe, asked a few words, didn't even look at the child, turned around and went to the study.Those who serve the people here, those who take care of the children, and the wealthy family are all convenient, so there is no need to list them in detail. Let's just talk about Bao Hai's wife, Li Shi, who found time to go back to her room, only to see Bao Hai sitting there in a daze.Li said: "It's a good thing to add two to one to five, but now it's three to one thirty-one."You have an idea!Bao Hai replied: I am worrying about this matter.Just now the old master called me to the study and told me that I had dreamed of a blue-faced red-haired monster that fell from the sky and woke up the old master with fright, who would have given birth to this child.When I think about it carefully, it must be that the watermelon in our east has become fine.Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li said, "It's not bad!"If he stays at home, he will do evil.It has been said in ancient books that there are many books written by goblin beginners who have lost their lives!Now why not tell the old head of the family as soon as possible, and abandon him in the wilderness, wouldn't it save worry, even furniture.Kill two birds with one stone, don't you think so?This woman spoke a set of words, Bao Hai was like waking up from a dream, and hurriedly stood up and went to the study; when he saw the staff, he explained it in detail from beginning to end, but did not mention the private matter.Unexpectedly, Yuanwai was worried because of this, when he heard Bao Hai's words, he agreed with his thoughts and said yes repeatedly.This matter is entrusted to you, do it quickly, if your mother asks in the future, she will say that she will die soon after landing.

Bao Hai took the order, turned back and came to the bedroom, excused that the young master was dead, he hurriedly took out the tea basket and packed it, and carried it to Jinping Mountain, when he saw a pit of deep grass, he put the basket down.Just as he was about to take out the child, he saw a green light flashing in the grass, which turned out to be the eyes of a tiger shooting out.When Bao Hai saw it, he was so frightened that he was out of his wits, he even urinated out of fear, he even abandoned the crate and the child, ran back, panting, ignored the report, ran to his room, fell on the kang and said repeatedly: "Scared!" Die me too!Scared me too!Mrs. Li hurriedly asked: You are waiting to see the gods and ghosts. Didn't the goblin do something wrong?Bao Hai collected himself and replied: Great!sharp!Talk to Li Shi in ten words: "You say it's terrible, isn't it terrible?"It's just that the tea basket didn't have to be taken back.Li said with a smile: You are really spilling oil in the whole basket and picking sesame seeds all over the ground.How much is a basket worth?Wouldn't it be fun to save a piece of furniture!Bao Hai grinned and said: "Sure enough, the outside is not as strong as the inside. Thanks to your good wife for your idea!"At this time, the child's custody is called Hupala!

Unexpectedly, the two of them were talking in the house, and there were ears outside the window.Just in time, the sage Wang passed by, heard one by one, and hurried back to the house, thinking about it, it was cruel, anxious and heartbroken, and shed tears unconsciously.Just as he was weeping, Uncle Bao Shan came in from the outside. Seeing this scene, he asked why.Wang told them all about it.Bao Shandao: So there are such things!It doesn't matter, Jinping Mountain is only five or six miles away. I'll make sense after I go to see it.After all, he left the room immediately.After her husband left, Mrs. Wang was frightened, fearing that the tiger would hurt people, and fearing that her third brother would not be found, so she was very worried.

And Yan Baoshan rushed to the back of Jinping Mountain and saw a piece of tall grass.Looking around, I saw tea baskets lying on the ground, but no third brother.The uncle was busy, and said repeatedly: No, it was probably eaten by a tiger.After walking a few steps forward, I saw a piece of grass lying on the ground, more than a foot thick, and a black, shiny, naked child crawled on it.The old man was overjoyed when he saw it, he hurriedly opened his clothes, picked up the child in his arms, turned around and ran home, quietly returning to his own room. When Wang was looking forward to it, when her husband came back, she let go of her heart.Seeing that he came back with the third brother in his arms, he was overjoyed. He quickly untied his clothes, took Bao Gong and hugged him on his chest.Unexpectedly, when Baogong got into the arms of a sage, he was born smart, and he bowed his head wildly, as if he wanted milk and food.The sage put the nipple in Bao Gong's mouth and fed it slowly.

Bao Shan was at the side and discussed with the sage: Although the third brother has been rescued now, suddenly there are two children in my room, won't others be suspicious when they see it?The sage heard and said: If you send your son who is only full moon to another place, find someone to raise him, and have a wife and one breast to feed the third brother, wouldn't you have both!Bao Shan was overjoyed when he heard that, so he took his baby out secretly and sent him to another place to feed him.Coincidentally, Zhang Delu, a villager in this village, because his wife had just given birth to a son, died before the full moon, and when her breasts were flourishing, now she has a son of Baoshan, and she is very happy.This is also a bit of sincerity of the uncle and his wife, so there is this opportunity.It can be seen that if people have good thoughts, heaven will follow them; if people have malicious intentions, heaven will punish them.Li Shi framed Bao Gong, and there will be retribution in the future.

Let's say that from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, the time passed quickly, and six years passed in a blink of an eye, and Bao Gong was seven years old.The strangest thing is that he never cried or laughed since he was seven years old.Every day he has a sad face, keeps silent, even if people tease him, he doesn't care.Therefore, everyone disliked that, except for Bao Shan and his wife who took care of him in every possible way, no one loved him.One day, it was Zhou's Ansheng's birthday, and no outside guests were invited, and he had a family banquet at home.The sage of the Wang family led Heizi to pay respects to her mother-in-law on her birthday. After the ceremony, she stood aside.Bao Hei ran up to An Ren, knelt down on his knees, respectfully and kowtowed three times.An'an beamed with joy, held him in his arms, and said: Zeng Ji gave birth to a son six years ago, and when he was in a coma, he fell to the ground and died somehow.If he was alive, he would be as old as him.

Upon hearing this, Wang saw that there was no one around, so she knelt down and said, "I beg mother-in-law to forgive my daughter-in-law for her audacity."This son was born to my mother-in-law.The daughter-in-law was afraid that her mother-in-law would be old and would not have enough milk and food to bear the burden of breastfeeding, so she secretly carried the child to her house to raise her, without daring to speak out.Now, because my mother-in-law asked about it, I dare not tell the truth.The sage didn't mention the fact that the Li couple was framed.Mrs. Zhou's old An quickly helped the sage up, and said: "In this way, my son is brought up by his wife and saved me from worrying about it. He is really the most virtuous person in the world."But just one thing, where is my little grandson now?Wang reported, "now feed them elsewhere."

When An Ren heard this, he immediately asked his little grandson to bring him here.Although the appearance is different, the stature is not very different.Urgently invite outsiders to explain this matter to everyone.Yuan Wai was happy in his heart, but when he thought of the past, he felt sorry for An Ren, and now that things were like this, there was nothing he could do. From then on, Bao Hei recognized his parents, and renamed Bao Shan and his wife as brother and sister-in-law.An Ren is the elder brother's cherished son, who is cherished in every possible way, so he changed his name to Sanhei.Baoshan and his wife were also there to take care of them, and they were careful everywhere, but Baohai and his wife were planning secretly, but they couldn't join hands.Another two years passed in a blink of an eye, and when Bao Gong was nine years old, Bao Hai and his wife wanted to kill Bao Gong. On this day, when Bao Hai was at home, he slandered in front of the members, saying: "We village people are always based on diligence and thrift, and we should not wander around."In the future, if you are too lazy to do anything, how can you make it happen?Now Sanhei is nine years old, and he is not too young. He should be taught to herd cattle and sheep with the village shepherd boy or our old Zhou's son, Chang Baoer.What he said was beyond his heart, so he explained it to An Ren, just like San Hei who hangs out with him every day.An Ren agreed, and asked the long-term worker, Lao Zhou, to take care of him.Lao Zhou also told Chang Bao'er: "Go out to herd cattle and sheep every day, and coax the three officials to play well. If there is anything wrong, I will not pay credit now."Therefore, the third son and Changbao go out to herd cattle and sheep every day, either outside the village, or by the river, or by the Jinping Mountain, but they are only five or six miles away from the village, and they will never go far away again. One day, he drove the cattle and sheep to the foot of Etou Peak in Jinping Mountain, and saw a piece of green grass, where he grazed the cattle and sheep.The shepherd boys in the village play with each other, only Baogong is watching the mountains and rivers, or sitting on the ground under the trees, or sleeping on a mat in the mountain ring, but he is listless, as if he is thinking, resting on the rock in the mountain ring , I saw cloudy clouds and thunder and lightning, knowing that there must be heavy rain, I hurriedly stood up and ran to the ancient temple in the mountain nest.Just walked into the hall, only to hear the sound of thunder suddenly, and the wind and rain came suddenly.Bao Gong was sitting cross-legged in front of the altar, when he suddenly felt someone behind him embrace him, hugging his waist.When Bao Gong looked back, it was a woman, her face was full of embarrassment, and her frightened expression was pitiful.Bao Gong thought to himself: I don't know which girl passed by here. When it rains so heavily, looking at his situation, I think she is afraid of thunder.Let's talk about this weak woman, even I, Sanhei, feel terrified when I hear the thunder. Therefore, he simply unfolded his clothes to cover the woman.The thunder outside became more and more urgent, never leaving the top door. After about two or three quarters, the sound of the rain gradually died down, and the thunder stopped.Not long after, the clouds dispersed and the sky cleared, and the sun was already setting.When I looked back, the woman was gone.Puzzled in my heart, I went out of the temple to find Changbao to drive away the cattle and sheep. When I arrived at the village just now, I saw Qiuxiang, a maid serving the second sister-in-law, holding a plate of pancakes and said, "This is what the second grandma made for the three officials to eat."When Bao Gong saw it, he said, "Go back and thank my sister-in-law for me."As he said that he picked it up to eat, his fingers felt numb, and he dropped the cake on the ground.Just when I was about to pick it up, a mangy dog ​​came along and went to hold the cake. Chang Bao said, "It's a pity that a pancake was eaten by it."This is my mangy dog, wait for me to chase it back.Bao Gong stopped him and said, "Since he took it away, he won't be able to eat it anyway. Let's explain that the cattle and sheep are important."Then he came to Lao Zhou's house.Chang Bao drove the cattle and sheep into the pen, only to hear him yelling in the yard: "It's not good!"Why is the mangy dog ​​bleeding from seven holes!Lao Zhou heard that when he came out of the hospital with Bao Gong, he saw the dog lying on the ground, bleeding from its seven orifices. Lao Zhou looked at it in surprise and said, "This dog died of taking poison. I don't know what he ate!" Chang Bao interjected: Just now Second Grandma asked Qiu Xiang to deliver cakes to the three officials, but she missed and fell to the ground, and was eaten by our mangy dog.After hearing this, Lao Zhou understood.Invite the three officials to come into the house and tell them secretly: in the future, you must pay attention to the food given by the second grandmother, and don't fall into the operation.When Bao Gong heard this, he not only didn't believe it, but blamed them for alienating his uncle and sister-in-law, so he said goodbye to Lao Zhou and went home in a fit of anger, so angry and bored. A few days later, Qiuxiang came to invite her, saying that Second Grandma had something important to do.Bao Gong had to follow him to the second sister-in-law's house.When Mrs. Li saw it, she was all smiles, and said that Qiuxiang went to the back garden yesterday and suddenly heard someone talking in the ancient well. Because she looked down from the mouth of the well, she didn't want to drop the golden hairpin into the well.If you ask others to salvage the well, the mouth of the well is small, and you can't go down, and you are afraid of making a fuss.He had no choice but to ask him to invite the three officials urgently.Ask Bao Gongdao: Third Uncle, because of your small stature, you went down the well to find out the golden hairpin, so as to prevent your sister-in-law from being blamed.I don't know, third uncle, are you willing to go down the well?Bao Gongdao: It doesn't matter, just wait for me to go down and let my sister-in-law find it out.So Li called Qiuxiang to take the rope, and came to the well in the back garden with Bao Gong.Bao Gong tied the rope around his waist, held the mouth of the well with his hand, and told Li Shi and Qiuxiang to let go slowly.Just now, it was more than half of the tie, and I only heard the above say: No, I can't hold it anymore!Baogong felt that the rope was loose, and his body fell to the bottom of the well with a plop.And the joy is that there is no water in the dry well, but it has not fallen.I just realized it in my heart, and thought to myself: No wonder Lao Zhou told me to be careful, it turns out that my second sister-in-law really hurt my heart.It's just that now that I've fallen into the well and no one else knows about it, how can I get out? When I was feeling depressed, I saw a flash of light in front of me.Bao Gong didn't know what it was, so he thought to himself, "is there really a golden hairpin shining?"He threw his hands forward, but he didn't, Guangming went forward again.Surprised, Bao Gong rushed forward again, farther and farther away, and could no longer catch him.I was restless, sweating all over my face, and said: strange things, strange things, why are there so many paths in the well?I can't help but try my best to chase after it to see what it is.So rushing forward for a mile, suddenly the light didn't move.Bao Gong rushed forward in a hurry, but when he looked at it, he saw the ancient mirror.Turn it over and take a closer look, you can't see the dark place anymore, you can only feel the air-conditioning and chilling.While looking at it, I suddenly saw the light in front of me, so I hurriedly picked up the ancient mirror and crawled out.When I looked at it, it was a ditch outside the back wall of the yard.I thought to myself: It turns out that the dry well in our back garden is actually connected with this way.do not mind him.Fortunately, I got out of the dry well and went home. When I walked home, I was so angry and stuffy.Sitting by himself, he had nowhere to vent his sulking, walked into the house of the sage Wang, pouted in a daze.The sage asked: "My third son, where did you come from?"Why are you so angry?Did someone bully you?Bao Gong said: I told my sister-in-law that no one deceived me.It's all because Qiuxiang said that the second sister-in-law told me to rush to see her, but he told me to touch the hairpin.So he talked about making money in a dry well one by one. When Wang heard this, she felt very upset, uncomfortable, and helpless, so she had to comfort her and tell her to be careful in the future.Bao Gong repeatedly said yes.While speaking, he took out the ancient mirror from his bosom and handed it to Mrs. Wang, saying that he got it from the dark.Sister-in-law keep it well, don't lose it. After Bao Gong left, the sage sat alone in the room, thinking to himself: What uncle and aunt did, there are deep plots, don't say that the third brother is a child, it is difficult to predict, even my husband and wife are difficult to predict their conspiracy.What should I do if something happens in the future?It's ridiculous that the two of them only care about private interests, but forget about ethics.Just as he was sighing, he saw the uncle Baoshan coming in from the outside, and the sage said what he had just said.The uncle shook his head again and again after hearing this, and said, "It's unreasonable!"It must be that the third brother was mischievous and fell into the dry well by mistake. He was afraid of being blamed, so he fabricated this lie, so don't listen to him.In the future, just ask him to stay here all the time, but it will save a lot of talking.Even though the uncle said so, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and thought to himself: I don't know what my second brother did in the past, but I can't be serious as an elder brother, so I have to be vague.If this matter is stated clearly, firstly it will hurt the harmony of the siblings, and secondly it will increase the suspicion of the sister-in-law.After pondering for a long time, he let out a long sigh, and said to Wang: "I think the third brother has extraordinary appearance and strange behavior, and his future will be limitless."My second brother and I have been delayed and have never studied since we were young. Why don’t we teach our third brother a lesson now?Are you good or bad?The sage nodded and said yes after hearing this.He also said: "Elder-in-law must be good at speaking before."The uncle said: It's okay, I have my own reasons. The next day, after finishing the housework, the uncle came to see the staff and said, "I have something to report to my father."The member asked, "what's the matter?"The uncle said: Because Sanhei has no business, instead of asking him to shepherd sheep all day long and wander outside, he can't learn well, why not ask a gentleman to teach him a lesson?It is the children who have dropped out of school since they were young. Although they later make up one or two supplementary studies, they encounter embarrassing accounts and are still unable to read, and are deceived by others.Now ask a gentleman to teach Sanhei some books; secondly, you can ask him for advice on copybooks that are difficult for you;When the members heard that they could manage some accounts, they said, "Yes."But one thing, you don't need to hire a well-educated teacher, as long as you are better than us, teach for three years and two years, and you can read the characters. When the uncle heard that the listener had agreed, he was overjoyed, so he withdrew immediately, and asked his neighbors to invite a well-educated teacher. It was necessary to make the third brother famous in one fell swoop.Official, it's not that Baoshan disobeyed his father's order, but because he saw that the third brother was extraordinary in appearance and eventually became a great weapon, so he specially invited a Confucian to teach him, thinking that in the future, he would show his relatives and fame, and glorify his ancestors. Gossip less, and let all the neighbors hear that Bao Wanwan's family wants to invite a gentleman, and whoever doesn't work hard, let's talk about this one, and recommend that one.Unexpectedly, if the uncle is not a famous Confucian, he will not invite you.Coincidentally, there is an old Mr. Ning in the next village. He has good conduct, profound knowledge, and a weird temper. He teaches his apprentices three things not to teach: don’t teach if you are stupid; Mr. resigns from the library, and the host is not allowed to resign from Mr.There are three non-teachings, and there is no restriction on how much you can practice, so no one dares to invite them.One day, Bao Shan understood what he heard, so he hurried to pay his respects in person and meet with him to discuss the ceremony.When Bao Shan saw it, he was really a good old gentleman, full of morality and good character. He was about to explain the matter of the invitation, and said: "Old master has three rules, and the second and third children are all willing to respond. I'm just afraid that the third brother will be stupid. It is fortunate that Mr. Wang is a good guide.It is stated at the moment, that is, to choose a date to go to the museum.It's the day, I will invite you to prepare for the banquet, and pass on the respect and repair, all the etiquette needless to say.That is to say, he took Bao Gong, came to the study, worshiped the saint and the teacher.This is also the fate of the previous life. When the master and the apprentice saw each other, they looked at each other with great admiration.He also sent a companion boy, Bao Xing, who was the same age as Bao Gong, to serve tea in the study, and also asked him to learn a few words.This is exactly: a talented person has to meet a spring breeze, and a hero comes from happiness.What happened after the untrial, will be broken down next time.
