Original text:

Liu Fanghua, from Baoding [1]. Caixiong Township [2] is generous and hospitable, and there are often 100 people in the seat. Urgent people are anxious, and thousands of dollars are not precious [3]. Guest friends often don't pay off fake loans [4]. After the only guest, Shaanxi people have nothing to ask for in their lives. Every year, I need to experience age. The meaning of the word is clear [5], and the willow and the sleeping place are the most. Liu Zi's name and total angle of time [6], uncle's [7]. Palace is happy and harmonious. Every time he comes back from school, he works to stick tiles [8], bury stones and pretend to bury gold to make everyone laugh. Five houses, dug several times and hid. Many people laugh at their childish behavior [9], but they love each other alone, especially compared with the guests [10]. After more than ten years, the family gradually weakened and could not meet the needs of many guests, and the guests were ashamed; However, it is still common for more than a dozen people to talk all night [1 1]. It's dusk [12] and the sun sets. Or Kiriko [13] for chicken and Xiaomi [14]. Yong is also a spendthrift, learning from his father and making friends. Liu can't help it. Nothing, Liu died of illness and there is nothing to kill [15]. Gong is Liu's agent [16]. How to be wise [17]. No matter how big or small, I will ask Uncle Gong. Palace from the outside, the rubble in the sleeve, to the room, throwing dark cymbals [18], more don't understand what this means. And every maid-in-waiting is worried about poverty. The official said: "I don't know how hard the work is [19]. Whether there is gold; Even if I give you a daughter, I can do it. Men are not self-reliant, why are they poor? " One day, I want to leave. And tears told me to hurry back, and the palace agreed, so I went. And poor and not self-sufficient, the quality is gradually empty [20]. Looking forward to the palace, I thought it was the manager [2 1], but the palace disappeared, like a yellow crane [22].

First of all, Liu was born with Wuji Huang [23], and so was Su Feng [24]. I heard that Liu was poor, and Yin regretted it. Liuzu, obituary [5], that is, not hanging; There is still a long way to go. In addition to kimono [27], my mother sent it from Yiyue, set a wedding date and look after Huang. In contrast, Huang Wen's clothes and shoes wear us [28], and refuse to accept the door [29]. Message cloud [30]: "Ask for a hundred dollars and you can come back; Otherwise, please don't do this again. " And smell speech to cry. On the other side of the door, poor Liu Wei gave 300 yuan [3 1] to comfort her, and her mother was angry and helpless. Nine times out of ten, people who owe their old friends favors will ask for help. He said, "The people I made friends with in the past are my wealth. It is difficult for a child's horse to be tall, and it is difficult for a daughter's daughter to be fake. Who remembers such a scene, well, remember the past? Moreover, the father and this person have no contractual guarantee [33], and it is difficult to rely on responsibility [34]. " Mother strengthened it. Since teaching, I have not written a word there for more than 20 days; Excellent person Reese, old pity, heard about it [35], gave a gold. Mother and son cried bitterly and were desperate from then on.

Miss Huang is 36 years old. When she heard that her father broke up with her, she couldn't steal it [36]. Not suitable for yellow women. The woman cried and said, "Liu Lang is not born, but poor. How can those who hate me take away my wealth? It is unkind to abandon it when you are poor! "Huang is not happy, Song Yuyou has a hundred ends [37]. Women never waver. Weng Yu was angry and reviled at any time, and the woman was safe. Nothing, it was robbed by bandits at night, Mr. and Mrs. Huang were burned to death [38], and the house was swept. Time flies for three years [39], and the family benefits zero replacement. Jia Qian has a beautiful woman [40], and I am willing to hire her with fifty gold. Huang Li's promise will take away his ambition. The female detective knows her plan, destroys her clothes, draws her face and runs away by night. Beggars eat and live on the way, study for two months, and then arrive in Baoding to visit and live, so they should build their homes. Mother thinks begging a woman, so she duh it. The woman sobbed. Mother wiped her tears and said, "Why are you so miserable?" The woman was in pain, but she told her story. Both mother and son cried. Just to take a bath, the color is shiny and the eyebrows are shiny. Both mother and son are very happy. However, there are three people in the family, only one day. Mother cried and said, "My mother and son are practical; Those virtuous women who pity and deny me! "The woman smiled and comforted:" The bride is among the beggars, but when she looks at it today, she feels that there is a difference between heaven and hell. "Mother is Xie Yi [4 1].

One day, a woman entered the leisure house and saw that the grass had been cut and there was no place. Gradually into the inner room, in the dust, something accumulates in the dark, and it is a good thing to slip [42]. Surprise tells peace. And with the inspection, the rubble thrown by the palace in the past was all platinum [44]. Because I often miss my son in the stone house, do I get all the gold? Therefore, the first code has been in the owner [45]. Emergency redemption. The broken bricks are incomplete, and the hidden stones are exposed, which is quite disappointing; And give him bricks, and all the glory is white. In an instant, the number of people is tens of thousands [46]. Therefore, it is better to redeem the land and be a servant of the city. Excited, he said, "If you don't stand on your own feet, you must be responsible for my uncle!" " Carving ambition behind the curtain [47], township elections three years later. Is to bow to platinum [48], Wei Liu is to pay the living expenses. Fresh clothes clap eyes; Servant more than ten generations, all riding anger Ma Rulong. There is only one room, and then sit on the sofa. People are crazy, and the alley is full of people. Huang Weng lost his daughter and Jia forced him to withdraw money. He has spent almost half of it and sold the house before he got his salary. Causes of embarrassment, such as peace. When I heard my old husband Yao [49], I closed my door and hurt myself. Buy wine for peace, because women are virtuous and cherish women. Ask and answer: "Are you married?" He said, "Get married." After eating, I forced to see the bride and take it back. Women at home wear makeup, and those maids are surrounded by immortals. Looking at each other in horror, I went back to the past and asked my parents about their daily lives. I stayed for a few days, paid well [50], my clothes were ready, and I changed them from top to bottom. I didn't send them back until today.

Yi Xu, reported the female consumption [5 1], and asked questions [52]. The couple were frightened. If you persuade to vote for a woman, you will be reluctant. Then I was embarrassed, just like Baoding. When I arrived at the door, I saw Hong [53] and I was so angry that I couldn't get through [54] all day. When a woman comes out with yellow, warm and vulgar words [55], give her last name and ask for secrets. After a while, the woman came out and led into the ear shed [56], saying, "Madam is anxious to make a pilgrimage [57]; However, I am afraid that my husband will know that he is still waiting for the gap. When will Weng come? Are you hungry? " Huang suffered from lawsuits. The woman put a glass of wine, a glass of wine and another glass of wine [58]. He also proposed hardware and said, "I'm afraid your wife won't come to the banquet hall." Mingdan, you should go early, not for Lang Wen. " Yellow. Get up early and have fun [59], then stop at the door without opening the key and sit in the bag [60]. Suddenly the master came out. Huang will evade [6 1], and he has already seen it. If he asks who he is, his family knows nothing. He said angrily, "You will be raped [62]. You can go to the company." All the people answered that they came out short and tied trees. Huang is too ashamed to know what to say. Not long after, the woman went out and knelt down last night and said, "It's an uncle. I came late the night before, so I didn't tell my host. " And the release of life. When the woman walked out of the door, she said, "He who forgets to tell the door will be unfair.". "When you miss each other, you can make the old lady pretend to be a flower seller and come with Liu Wei," said the lady. Huang Nuo, return to. If you miss your daughter, you can tell Liu Wei that you have everything at home. Every time you open more than ten customs, you will arrive at the Women's College. The woman wore a bun [65], covered in pearls and green, and the fragrance was overflowing. With a scream [66], all the maids, big and small, ran into the edge. Move the golden chair bed [67], and set double-clamping knees [68]. Hui Maid Tea [69]; Every greeting is in argot [70], with tears in each other. At the latest, except room security; The temperature of the mattress is not the time for money in the past. Live for three or five days, and the female righteousness is yin. Ai needs to draw empty, before crying white. The woman said, "What did my mother and son forget [7 1]? Lang is puzzled and dare not smell it. " Every time I get calm, I hide. One day, Fang came in pushing his knee [72]. When he saw it, he said angrily, "What village [73] dares to lead himself and his wife to sit together! It's just right to send one! " Wei Liu said at once, "This old woman is involved in [74], and Mrs. Wang sells flowers. Fortunately, don't be guilty. " He Nai Xie Zhi [75]. That is, he sat down and said, "I'm too busy these days to say [76]." Is Huang Jia's old animal still there [77]? "Xiao yun said," everything is fine. But poverty is too great. Being an official is rich and powerful, why not consider Weng Xu's feelings? " He patted the table and said, "If you don't care about the Chinese New Year, you can't turn your country if you give me an European porridge!" Want to sleep [78] Why bother! "When you get angry, you need to scold. The woman said, "They are heartless, but they are my parents. Along the way, my hands are chapped [79], my toes are on fire, and I call myself a good husband. Why is it embarrassing to scold dad? In the beginning, he gathered his anger and got up and left.

Huang Yu was ashamed and colorless, and wanted to return. The woman paid in private with twenty gold coins. I asked loudly when I went back, and the woman thought deeply. He Nai sent for him. When the husband and wife arrived, they were ashamed. Xie He said, "The old year humiliated me, but I didn't tell you, so it was a terrible crime." Yellow but passive. Harmony makes it easier to wear clothes and shoes. After staying for more than a month, Xin Huang finally felt uneasy and came back. And bequeathed 120 platinum [80], saying, "I will double 520 Jia Xi." Yellow shame suffers [8 1]. And the horse returned, and in his later years he was called Xiao Fengyan [82].

Yi Shi said: "After Yong Men cried [83], the beaded shoe didn't move, which made people angry and didn't want to be a guest again. However, it is not a generous hospitality for a good friend to bury the bone and turn the stone into gold. People in boudoir sit and enjoy high honor [84], just like a concubine [85], but not as innocent as Huang Qing [86]. Who deserves [87]? The same is true of the blessing of creation. "

Those who are rich in rural areas, those who live in excess [88] and those who search for bones [89]. There are hundreds of pits, for fear that people will know, so the clothes are broken and the chaff is broken to show poverty [90]. Relatives and friends come occasionally and have done nothing. Or his family is not poor, he will be angry [9 1], and his hatred will be as bad as * * * [92]. In the twilight, a liter [93] of Japanese meal elm chips, the arm epithelium folds an inch long, but the cellar refused to send it. Then gradually [94]. When he was dying, his two sons asked him, but he still didn't tell him; I think fruit is dangerous and want to sue my son. When my son arrived, I couldn't speak [95], so I had to crawl my heart, hehe. After death, children and grandchildren cannot have coffins, so they are buried. Oh! If you think you are rich because you have gold and you have tens of millions of money [96], why can't you explain that I have it? Stupid!

Translation:

Once upon a time, there was a man named Liu Fanghua. His family is rich and well-known. Liu Fanghua is generous and easy to make friends. Therefore, his family often gathers hundreds of guests. Not only does he like making friends, but he is always ready to help others. Whenever a friend has difficulty in borrowing money from him, he never refuses. Some people borrow money without paying it back. Many of Liu Fanghua's guests and friends have borrowed money from him. Only one Shaanxi guest named Gong Mengbi has never asked him for anything. Liu Gong and his wife have a deep friendship. Every time they go to the Liu family in the palace, it is a year. Liu He, Liu Fanghua's son, was still wearing two small horns. His name is Uncle Gong Mengbi. Every day after school, Gong Mengbi plays games with him. They uncovered the floor tiles and buried the stones in the ground. These stones are gold in their eyes, so burying stones is also burying gold. They can never get enough of this game of burying gold. Later, they buried almost all five houses. Many guests laughed at Gong Mengbi's childish behavior, but Gong disagreed. Liu He is much more affectionate to him than other guests. Later, the Liu family gradually declined and could not meet the requirements of many guests. As a result, Liu's guests became scarce, and finally only a dozen people were left. Liu Fanghua attached great importance to friendship all his life. In old age, the family is even worse. He just sells land to entertain guests. At this time, Liu He also grew up. Influenced by his father, he spends generously and regards his friends as brothers.

Soon, Liu Fanghua died of illness, and Liu He had no money for the funeral, so Gong Mengbi took out his own money to take care of the Liu family affairs. Liu He was so grateful to him that he entrusted him with the management of his family. Every time Gong Mengbi comes back from the outside, she will bring back some tiles and put them in the dark corner of the house. What are these tiles for? Liu doesn't understand, and neither do others. One day, Liu He complained to Gong Mengbi that his family was too poor to do anything. Gong advised, "You don't know how hard life is. Don't say that you have no money now. Even if I give you 1200 taels of silver, you can spend it all at once. What are men afraid of being poor? Being unable to stand on your own feet is the most terrible thing. " Soon, Gong will return to his home. Liu He hoped that he would come back soon, and Gong agreed. After the palace left, Liu He couldn't keep the house, and his family was too poor to eat enough. The original property was almost sold out. Liu He looked forward to Gong Mengbi's return every day, but Gong was gone, gone.

When Liu He was born, Liu's family was well-off and rich. The Liu family is engaged to the Huang family of a large family in a neighboring county. Later, when the Huang family heard that the Liu family had become poor, they had second thoughts. When Liu Fanghua died, the Huang family didn't come to offer their condolences. After Liu He's mourning expired, his mother asked him to go to Huang's house to discuss the wedding date, hoping that Huang's family would give him sympathy and care. However, when Liu He arrived at Huang Jia, Huang Jia turned him away and asked the doorman to tell him, "Go back and prepare one hundred and twenty pieces of silver, otherwise, we will cut off contact from now on." Willow and a listen to this sad cry. Mrs. Liu, across the street from Huang's house, took pity on him, kept him for dinner and gave him some money to go home quickly. Liu He's mother was sad and angry when she heard that the Huang family had turned against each other and denied people. After much deliberation, she had to ask her son to ask some rich people for help, because the Liu family had helped them in the past, and they never owed the Liu family money. But Liu He said, "They used to associate with the Liu family because they were rich. If I go by coach now, it is not difficult to borrow 1,200 pieces of silver, but now we are in rags and people simply look down on us. Who still remembers the kindness and friendship of the Liu family in the past? " Besides, my father never signed a contract, nor did he ask a guarantor to give money to others. Now he doesn't even have a debt collection certificate. "At her mother's insistence, Liuhe had to go out for help, but she didn't borrow a penny for more than 20 days. Later, only one agent doorman sent a silver or two. Thinking of such a cold world, Liu and her mother and son felt deep despair.

It is said that Mr. Huang has grown up at this time. When she heard that her father refused Liu He's proposal of marriage because the Liu family was poor, she was very dissatisfied. The Huang family wants to marry her to someone else. She cried and said to her family, "Liu Lang was not born in poverty. If his family is richer now than before, will our family betroth me to someone else? It is inhuman to abandon Liu Lang just because he is poor! " She never changed her mind under her father's repeated persuasion. Her parents were very angry when they saw their daughter being so stubborn. They scolded her early and scolded her late. But the girl ignored it. She is convinced that her attitude is correct. Unexpectedly, after a while, the Huang family was robbed by thieves again. The Huang couple were almost killed by thieves and their property was looted. Mr. and Mrs. Huang have to live a poor life, but how much they miss the rich life in the past.

Three years later, the poverty situation of the Huang family has not changed at all. A western businessman heard that Miss Huang was beautiful and was willing to pay fifty taels of silver as a dowry and marry Miss Huang. Her parents agreed to the money out of greed. Miss Huang was very angry when she learned the news. She quietly changed her clothes, painted her face black and gray, and fled the house that night.

A girl ran away from home, helpless and had to beg along the way. In this way, Miss Huang walked for more than two months before finding Liu Hejia. Liu's mother had never seen her, so when she walked into Liu's house covered in dust and dirty clothes, Liu's mother took her as a beggar, and the girl cried and told what had happened. Liu's mother was very moved after hearing this, holding the girl and crying. Liu's mother personally prepared hot water for the girl. After washing and retouching, the girl's skin becomes white and tender, radiant. Liu and his mother are very happy. A few days later, Liu Mu held a simple wedding for Liu He. From then on, a family of three lived alone, living in poverty but full of happiness. Because my family is poor, I can only eat one meal a day. Liu's mother said with tears, "Liu and I should do this." Sadly, we have suffered my good wife. " Miss Huang smiled and comforted her mother-in-law: "When my daughter-in-law went out to beg, she ate everything.

Although our life is very hard now, I feel very happy because it is a hundred times stronger than begging. "After hearing this, Liu's mother was happy to have such a good daughter-in-law. Although the family is bittersweet, even the people around her are envious. One day, Miss Huang went to an empty house and saw the yard full of weeds. When she entered the room, she found that the room was covered with dust. In a dark corner, she found many things. When she kicked them, they felt very hard. When she picked them up and wiped the dust, she found them to be silver. She was surprised and hurried to tell Liu He. Master Liu was also surprised. They moved everything out of the dark corner. They are all real silver ingots. Liu and this just remembered that the money turned out to be just tiles that Uncle Gong Mengbi picked up from the outside when he was a guest here. Unexpectedly, the tiles of that year are now silver! Liu He still remembers when he was a child, Uncle Gong often played the game of burying gold with him. Those Shi Zhuan buried in those years, are they silver now? Thought of here, willow can't help but become impatient again. It turns out that his house has been given to others because of poverty. He discussed with his wife what to do, and her wife said to redeem the house quickly. So Mr. and Mrs. Liu found this family overnight and redeemed the house with some money. Liu He was disappointed when he walked into the house. Most of his floor tiles are broken now, and many of the stones buried in those years are exposed. It seems that the miracle will not happen. However, when Liu He uncovered the floor tiles and pulled out the underground stones, Liu He was still stunned: silver, shiny silver! In this way, Liu He became a millionaire overnight. They redeemed their fields, decorated their houses and bought slaves. Liu He is determined to make a determined effort to study hard. He said, "If I can't stand on my own feet, I'm sorry, Uncle Gong! "It's a lot of trouble. Three years later, Liu He finally won the prize. Liu He hasn't forgotten Mrs. Liu who helped him in those years. So he took the money and thanked him to his face. Liu was well dressed and dazzling, and a dozen slaves rode on a burly horse. A group of people came to Mrs. Liu's house, which surprised her. She has only one room, and Liu He sits by the bed and talks to her. People shouting horses outside can be heard in the alley, and so can the Huang family across the street.

Mr. and Mrs. Huang's family has gone from bad to worse since their daughter left. They have spent all the bride price of western businessmen and have to sell their houses to pay off their debts. At that time, they were as poor as Liu He. I heard that my ex-son-in-law was rich and embarrassed to meet, so I had to sigh behind closed doors. Mrs. Liu had food and wine bought for Liu He. She praised Miss Huang's virtue, but she didn't know where she had fled. Mrs Liu asked prince he of Liu if he had a home, and Liu He said he had a home. After dinner, Liu He invited Mrs Liu to his home. Mrs Liu and Liu He go home by car together. Miss Huang, surrounded by a group of maids, came out to meet the guests. Mrs. Liu didn't recognize it at first. When she learned that Liu He's wife was Miss Huang, she was pleasantly surprised. Mrs. Liu stayed for a few days before going home. After she went back, she hurried to Huang's house to tell them the news of Miss Huang, and said that Miss Huang was very concerned about her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Huang were surprised, happy and ashamed. They want to see their daughter, but they are worried about being left out by Liu and Liu. They didn't expect it to come to this. They regretted taking things for others, so that they had to swallow the bitter water of regret today.
