Volume 2 The old star's family drama changed the eight characters, and the poor soap was sharply fated with ten thousand gold
Poetry Cloud:
He has never understood the nature of heaven, and he has given his life to the body.
The eight-character He was born in the mother's womb, and the bronze plate was published first.
The mulberry field is easy to turn over, and it is difficult to correct the glory and decay.
How many heroes Ruan Tu can't turn around.
This poem is a single word. Mortals are noble and poor, prosperous and dying, and they are always set in the eight characters. These eight words are the season when the birth is not born, and the heavenly father and Lao Tzu have personally removed the pen.
Don't say that you can't change it, you can't add a little or subtract a painting. That's why it's called "life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." "At the beginning, there was an old man who was good at numerology all his life, and he had only one son, but he never had a grandson. Later, the daughter-in-law was pregnant, and when she was about to give birth, the old man took a book of life and sat outside the door of the daughter-in-law's bedroom to serve.
The old man combined the hour with the year, month and day, and shouted, "This hour has broken the barrier, and it will not be able to raise it." If your daughter-in-law doesn't do it, stay up for a while, and when you reach the next hour, you will be blessed and live a long life. When the daughter-in-law heard this, she hurriedly stopped her foot and survived for her life. Who would have thought that the child's head had been out of the birth gate, and the mother was cut off and angry, and died in the womb. When he survived to the time of longevity and longevity, he was about to give birth, and he went to someone else's house to give birth, and he still co-ordinated Guan Sha. In this way, the eight characters of the person are really removed by the imperial pen of Tianlaozi, and they cannot be changed.
Now there is a change, at first it was limited by eight characters, and it is really poor and poor; Later, I changed the eight characters, and I didn't realize that it would happen in the future. This is called the strange saying that there is nothing to be done and everything is everything, and it is said to be the eyes and ears of the new officials.
During the Chenghua period, in the Punishment Hall of Tingzhou Mansion in Fujian, there was a soap li, surnamed Jiang Mingcheng, who was originally a child of the old family. Naizu is in Japan, Tian Lianqian Mo, his family is full of warehouses, and he is actually a rich elder. In the hands of his father, although he was weaker than before, he was still a thin camel. Until his father died, Jiang Cheng was only three years old. The two brothers are good prostitutes and gamblers, and in less than ten years, the family has grown up and Jiang has grown up, and there is no place for cones.
One day, Jiang Cheng said to his second brother: "Everyone is privately sent to you, I have never eaten a bowl of rice from my father and worn a piece of clothing from my mother." Now that Fei has gone to chase and can't turn around, what else can't be sold, he should also give it to me, as the hand of his parents. The second brother said, "If you are afraid of discounts, why didn't you come out earlier?" We went to the wind and snow, but came to dig the farts in the dead man's buttocks. Now that the real estate has been exhausted, there is only a soap in the torture hall, which has always been rented to others, and it will be allocated to you in the future. Jiang Cheng pondered and said: "I smell that the money in the yamen is spilling, it is better to do it yourself, if you can earn it, it is better to marry a small family, buy a house, and save the throat of my brother and sister-in-law." I also heard people say, "It's good to practice in the yamen." If you encounter a convenient place for good deeds, Ami, who does not open her mouth a few times, gives up a few words to give alms, half accumulates yin gong and half nourishes the body, how bad is it? "I went to the yamen to ask for the top, made wine and invited soap, picked a good day, and stood under the class to serve.
The torture hall sat in the court to interrogate, and the first sign was smoking Jiang Chengxing's cane. Jiang Cheng is a compassionate person, where can he get these two poisonous hands? Reluctantly took the bamboo board, endured the stomach and intestines to beat, as if hitting himself, the prisoner called "Ah Yo", he himself called "Ah Yo", hit the five boards, tears flowed, and his heart said that it was too heavy, afraid of hurting Yin De.
Who knew that the torture hall was furious, saying that he had received the cane money in advance, and he beat such a school board, and dropped the sign, and the prisoner only won five boards, and he fell ten times. From then on, it was his turn to walk with a cane, although he did not dare to be too light, nor too heavy, only the flesh, not the tendons, only the tips of the buttocks, not the knees, and people called him to be a compassionate soap.
After a while, it was his turn to listen again. Everyone else buys tickets from the housing department, Jiang Cheng has no capital, and secondly, he just listens to nature. Who wants to spend no money on the difference, not only unprofitable, but also harmful; Not only lose money, but also lose sticks. After a year of errands, the low money was never left for half of it, and the bending stick hit thousands.
If they still rent it to others, they will see that he tastes bitter and does not know the sweetness, but they will take hold of him. Either to reduce the rent money, or to pay the fee, I have no choice but to suffer by myself. Among those peers, there were also those who laughed at him and those who persuaded him.
Laughing at him, he said: "Don't mention the boatman, Hugh will get the penny." Is it good to take advantage of the money in the yamen? If you want to enter the yamen, you must first eat a heart-washing soup to wash away your conscience; also burn a piece of paper to tell heaven and say goodbye to heaven; Then eat this bowl of rice. You have to be convenient at every turn, the word 'convenient' is another name for the hair pit, others are clean, and their own family is pickled. If you have the measure of the pit, just do it conveniently; Otherwise, these two words, please clean up. Jiang Cheng listened, but didn't reply. The persuaded him: "If the small money doesn't go, the big money doesn't come, I also have some money, buy a ticket and run away, naturally I am a little excited; Waiting for the difference with empty fists all day long, what is so bad for you? Jiang Chengdao: "I know, it's just a messenger who went to buy money, not only to repay the principal, but also to ask for profit, and to hold the prisoner, naturally he needs it ruthlessly." If it is good to deceive it, if it can't be defrauded, or force people's lives, or sue the boss, ask the soldiers openly and secretly damage the yin virtue, don't you regret it? ”
The persuader said: "You have made a roundabout. The people in the yamen will seek profit, and if they want to make ten or twenty times the money, they will make trouble. If you are willing to ask for only one or two times as much as you can be, you will be in the business of giving away half of the sale, and the prisoner will not be able to return the corpse to you, what accidents will come out? Jiang Chengdao: "That's right." It's just that the torture hall is not a government and county yamen, there are no cheap tickets, and it is not ten and a half catties at every turn. The persuader said: "Why don't you make an appointment with a few friends, do a small meeting, half of which is paid for a room, and he will be willing to **, and the rest will wait for the money to arrive, and it is not too late to find an account." When Jiang Cheng heard these words, he woke up like a drunken start, like a dream, and held a wine invitation meeting the next day, and when he got the money, he went to inquire about buying tickets.
Smelling that according to the approval of the hospital, the person who fell into the water together was killed, and the prisoner was Lin Jiansheng. Tingzhou is a wealthy household, counting him first, and he is a man who makes money on weekdays, so there are many voters.
Jiang Chengdao: "The first strike is the strongest." That is, I went to ask for the undertaker, paid ten taels first, and wrote half of the arrears. The next day, he signed out, received a detention card, and found a deputy to go with him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Linsheng predicted that the incident would happen, and he had an acquaintance who was an official in Zhejiang, so he went to Zhejiang to ask for a book first. In his absence, it was his father who came out to meet him. Although his son is generous, he is very stingy, and he has sealed two or two folds and asked Jiang Cheng to increase his official position.
Jiang Cheng saw that he was a virtuous elder, and it was not easy to change his face; Besides, there is no name on the ticket, and it is not good to take him to the official. He had to wait a few days until his generous son returned, and the Lord's fat money was still there, and he was not afraid that anyone would rob him.
There is a person who knows that the torture hall is a person with desires, and he has always known that Lin Linsheng is extremely rich, and when he sees this situation, he uses it as a grange, how can he ignore the past?
The next day, when he sat in the hall, he asked, "Did Supervisor Lin get it?" Jiang Cheng replied: "Before I was enshrined, I went to Zhejiang, begged the lord for leniency, and returned to Japan for trial." The torture hall was furious, saying that he had to sell it for money, and he chose the number one bamboo board, and beat forty, but it was still limited to three days. Jiang Cheng went to God and made a wish: he didn't dare to think about fat money anymore, he just wanted to get rid of his involvement early.
How could it be that Lin Lin was just not born, and compared to the third time, Jiang Cheng's buttocks were rotten, and he couldn't stand the beating anymore, so he had to kowtow and mourn: "The fate of the small one is not good, and the labor-saving thing is so bad that the small one will be laborious." I beg the master to send a good life to get it, or I don't know if Lin Jiansheng will arrive. "The torture hall changed the duty on the spot.
At first, Jiang Cheng's words, one was resentful, the other was a plan to take off his shoulders, and he didn't want to do a golden mouth, and sure enough, the first day was worse, and on the second day, Lin Jiansheng arrived, and the ticket did not cost a cent, and he was not frightened, and he took advantage of a large piece of silver, and in a few days, the constitution was completed.
Jiang Cheng went to the heavy capital, touched the low silver of two or eight, did not buy the stick sore plaster, and owed a debt, and never dared to buy a ticket again.
Drilling thorns also suffered, guarding points also suffered, there was no money, no money, in the yamen for more than 20 years, saw how many people started a family from scratch, they just did not cover their bodies, did not eat enough food, inside and outside the yamen he was called a mixed name, called "Jiang regret".
The secretary bumped into him in the early morning, and he was going to call Dajili City a few times. Over time, even the government knew about his mixed name.
At first, he was not allowed to go to the court on the 15th day of the new year, and he was still on duty on weekdays. At the end, there was a young jinshi, who was from Yangzhou, and he liked to wear it, and he took care of him if he was neatly dressed and clean in the various battles, and when he saw the ragged and dirty one, he was either scolded or beaten. As the old saying goes: The king of Chu has a thin waist, and everyone in the palace starves to death.
Just because the torture hall is here, for a while, the size of the yamen, they all wore silk and silk, with jasmine hairpins on their heads, benzoin incense in their sleeves, and begged for mercy in front of the officials.
Jiang Cheng has no money in his hands, and he can't come if he wants to have a treat. The new official has been in office for two months, and he has not been sent once. Sometimes when I see him, I don't call him by name, but only call him "educate the slave." "Jiang Cheng has made a lot of grabbing the sky, so it's pitiful.
Suddenly, one day the execution hall issued two bills, and all the servants came to serve, and the officials never came out of the court, so everyone sat on the ground and gossiped. Jiang Cheng knew that it was out of place, and sat alone behind the surrounding screen. One of the people said: "Now there is a new fortune teller, called Huayang Mountain People, who is extremely accurate, and he will test every sentence." Another said: "Sure enough, I went to calculate the day before yesterday, and he said that my stagecoach star will enter the palace tomorrow, and he will send a gift to the provincial capital on the second day." Another said: "The day before yesterday, he said that my Enxing would die the next day, and sure enough, he was rewarded with a good card on the second day." ”
The crowd said, "Let's try it tomorrow." The calculation said: "He can't be squeezed in front of him, and he will have to wait for half a day before he can get his turn." When Jiang Cheng heard this, he pondered: "This is a living immortal." I, Jiang Chengyan, have been in the world for half a lifetime, and I don't know if there will be a day of luck in the future? I was going to calculate it, but I was just a person with an official, so I had half a day to wait? ”
After hesitating, the three pillars of the torture hall came out of the court. I saw a lonely old man in the nursing home shouting, saying that his wife was broken by his companion and that his life was in danger, and he begged the master for first aid.
The original intention of the torture hall was refusal, but when he saw Jiang Cheng at the bottom of the steps, he laughed and said, "Call that indoctrination slave to come up." I have never sent you, but who knew that you, a person who was poor in education, and there were a pair of original defendants in education, and it was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I sent you to take it. ”
The mark was thrown down, Jiang Cheng picked it up, and went to the nursing home. Passing in front of a life hall, a line of words was written on the signboard: Huayang Mountain people talk about life, not a word, and they are not fatalized. Jiang Chengdao: "This is what they call a living immortal." When I lifted the curtain, I saw that there was not a fortune teller. thought in his heart: "It's rare that he is idle today, so it's better to sneak in and calculate, so as to save himself from meeting friends tomorrow, if he doesn't calculate well, he will laugh at him." "I walked in and told me about the years, months and days.
The mountain man unfolded the life paper, filled in the eight characters and five stars, looked carefully, suddenly snorted, threw the life paper to the ground, and said, "What is the matter with him like this?" ”
Jiang Chengdao: "Whether it's good or not, it must be calculated, isn't it that a bad life has no life money?" Shanren said: "Mortal life is not good to look at luck, and luck is not good to look at the stars."
Your fate is already extremely bad, from the age of one to the age of a hundred, you have to have good luck for a day, and there are no good stars at all. Don't blame me for saying, such a bad character, don't say that you seek fame and profit, just go to recruit fate and copy, and people will close their doors when they see you. Jiang Cheng was hurt by these words, and unconsciously shed tears and said: "Sir, although what you said is too straightforward, it is not word for word. Since I got out of my mother's belly, I have been bitter until now, I have never comforted my eyebrows for a day, and I have to wait for a bitter end. According to the old gentleman, there is no benefit to me in the future. How did he live like this? It's not as clean as the one who died earlier! At first, I was still in tears, but when I said this, I didn't feel that I began to cry bitterly.
The mountain people persuaded him to live but not live, taught him to go but did not go, and he was helpless, so he had to coax him out of the house. He said to him: "If you want to live a good life, you only need to change the eight characters, and it will be good." Jiang Chengdao: "Mr. came to make fun of it again, the word is generated, how can you change it?" Shanren said: "Okay, I'll change." Take a new piece of life paper, turn Jiang Chengyuan's eight characters upside down, and put a five-star fortune limit on the other side, and then batch a few good words, fold a few folds, stuff it in Jiang Cheng's sleeve and say: "In the future, people will ask you about the eight characters, only according to this life paper, and you will have your own benefits." Jiang Cheng knew that it was a joke, and was about to cry from the beginning, when suddenly a soapy head walked in with a fire stick and said, "Master take you!" ”
Jiang Cheng asked what happened, it turned out that the lonely old man in the nursing home waited for him not to take people, and then came to the official, so the torture hall sent a soap head to catch the violation.
Jiang Cheng was taken aback and walked into the yaya with him. I saw the torture hall sitting in the hall angrily, and when I saw him arrive, I couldn't say anything, and pushed down the signing cylinder and called for a beating. Jiang Cheng wanted to argue, but was dragged down by a cane, and a piece of paper fell out of his sleeve.
The torture hall said, "What is it?" Take it and show me. "The door is picked up, and the torture hall is opened, and it turns out to be a piece of life paper. After looking at it from the beginning, he exclaimed, "Call him up." Where did you get this life paper from? Whose character is it? Jiang Chengdao: "It's the villain's dog's life." The torture hall laughed and said: "Look at you, a slave of education, you are not out of the same year, month, and day as my master." He spared the beating at the moment and retreated into the court. When I saw my wife at the private office, I couldn't help but smile and said: "I have always believed in fate, but today I know that there is no evidence for fate." The lady asked, "How so?" The torture hall said: "I just hit a soap, and he dropped a life paper from his sleeve, which is the same as my eight characters." I am an official, and he is a soap li, so there is a world apart, and I am the first one among the soap subordinates to fall down, where did you send it from? What is the proof of life? Madame said: "After all, this is a different number of ticks." Even so, since he was born at the same time as you, he must have had some fate in his previous life, and he should also take pity on the same illness and look at him with only one eye. The torture hall said: "I also mean this." The next day, he sat in the Sichuan Hall, called Jiang Cheng in, and asked him why he was so ragged. Jiang Cheng cried and complained about the suffering in the past, and the torture hall was pitiful, so he took out ten taels of silver from the Ya Nei, and taught him to change the first few clothes and hats to listen to the errand.
Jiang Cheng kowtowed and thanked him, secretly laughing. I went to the pawn shop to buy a few fashionable clothes, got a corrugated hat, and went to the mixed hall to take a bath, and people took off the old and replaced them with new ones from head to toe. When I came out, I happened to meet a mirror grinder, and I picked up a load of newly ground mirrors. Jiang Cheng followed him as he walked, taking photos on the other, and he was not the poor he used to be. I thought to myself: "Could it be that the eight characters have changed, and the appearance has not changed?" Walked into the yamen, congratulated him in the hall, and put on a badge for him, called "the same year of the official." Those who wore silk and silk and envied his clothes were called "royal palace robes." Benzoin also gave him scent, and jasmine also gave him to wear, Jiang Cheng got up for a while, making the six palaces pink and colorless.
Since then, the torture hall has taught him to serve in the court, never leaving, rewarding him if he has a good ticket, and asking him if he has doubts.
Jiang Cheng didn't dare to cheat the public, he knew everything about local affairs, and he supported the criminal department to be a good official.
As the old saying goes, the Tao is not bad, and the official has been rich for a long time. Jiang Cheng has never done a bad thing in the hands of the torture hall, has never received a penny of money, and in less than three years, he has also done thousands of family affairs, married a wife, gave birth to children, and bought a house, but he didn't dare to show off luxuriously.
One day, I remembered: If I hadn't been that fortune teller, would I have such a day?
In order not to forget the original, I held a few color ceremonies and went to thank you in person.
Huayang Shanren saw it, I don't know which one it is, asked his name, Jiang Cheng said: "No, it is the soap of the torture hall, surnamed Jiang Mingcheng, Xiang Nian is rubbing against fate, and I came to ask Mr. to calculate, Mr. saw that it was not good to make it cheap, so he changed another eight characters for me." After the change, he suddenly prospered, and now he has become a small family, all of which are given by Mr., so he dare not be ungrateful, and he has come to thank him. The mountain man thought for a long time before he remembered: "That's when I saw you crying, I can't help it, suppose this method, comfort you, then is there a truth to really change?" Jiang Chengdao: "At that time, I also knew it was a joke, and I didn't want it to be like this later" saw the death paper in the torture hall, and said it again, saying that he was a blessing in disguise. Shanren said: "Is there such a thing in the world? Jiang Cheng said the original eight characters, and the mountain people looked at it carefully and said: "It's not bad, such eight characters, don't say that you have a family, and you don't have anything to eat." Let's talk about the changed eight characters. "Jiang Chengyin's life paper is the foundation of the family, and he always carries it with him, how dare he discard it? I took it out of the pocket and looked at it with the mountain.
Shanren laughed and said: "It is indeed sent by this eight characters, if you follow this fate, you will not only get rich, but also have an official later." Jiang Cheng laughed and said: "Mr. came to make fun of me again, my family has been deceived by others, and I am afraid that the heavenly prince will come out, and I still have to chase after him, what else do you want to be an official?" Shanren said: "Since the front has been tested, how can there be no reason not to test it later?" I'll judge you a few more sentences for the day after tomorrow. Pick up the pen and continue another comment. Jiang Cheng sleeved and said goodbye.
In less than a month, the term of office of the criminal department expired, and Qin entered Beijing. Before leaving, he said to Jiang Cheng: "I see that you have always been careful and law-abiding, and I can't bear to lose you, I want to take you into Beijing, are you willing to go?" Jiang Chengdao: "The little one has received great favor from the master, and it is difficult to repay his broken body, so he is willing to serve the master." "The torture hall rewarded the silver and settled down. Jiang Cheng accompanied him all the way, and when he arrived in Beijing, the criminal hall examined the selection department, Jiang Cheng picketed him inside and outside, did not allow the yamen to cheat, did his best, and supported him to be a good official.
The master saw that he had worked hard for several years, and there was no reward, and at that time, the disadvantages of the court were beginning to open, and the future of the different road could be pretended, and the master made a servant for him, and chose an excellent county, and chose the master book; After three years of work, I went up to the experience. The two officials returned to their hometowns after the completion of the two terms, and the eunuchs were tens of thousands, but they responded to the words of the fortune teller. Isn't this a strange thing that is justified and everything? It's refreshing.
If he who speaks, according to you, can all the people in the world change their minds by faith? The words of the ancient sages "death and life are fate, wealth is in the sky", is it not a fiction? Look at the officials, you must know that Jiang Cheng's life was not good, just because he did a lot of good things in the yamen and moved the heart of heaven, so God sent a ghost envoy to teach the Huayang Mountain people to change the eight characters for him, and make up for this opportunity. This is the truth of "self-cultivation so life" in "Mencius", whether this eight characters is not changed by man, or changed by heaven.
Another said, if Jiang Cheng didn't do good deeds by himself, how could he move the heart of heaven? Let's just say that this eight characters is not changed by heaven, but it can also be changed by people.
