"Alas! It's not that I don't borrow, it's that I really don't have any money on hand? The Marquis of Jianhe pretended to be embarrassed and sighed.

He knew that Zhuangzi meant that he was complaining about him.

Three hundred gold! How much is that?

It sounds good, and I am willing to borrow three hundred gold. Outcome! But it's a blank check.

So! Zhuangzi told that story and also used "empty checks" to prevaricate crucian carp. The crucian carp only needs the water of Dousheng to survive, and he! But he promised to bring the water of the West River to the crucian carp.

It's true! By the time he brought in the water of the Xijiang River, the crucian carp had already died.

So! The promises made by the Marquis of the Prison River, as did the same promises he made to the crucian carp, were empty promises. It sounds good, but it has no practical meaning.

Seeing that the prison Hehou was like this, Zhuangzi was too lazy to eat. It's true! Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence. For such an unsympathetic person, it is not easy for him to get along.

I still haven't seen the wrong person before, and it's right to choose not to associate with him!

If you keep associating with this kind of person, sooner or later you will be angry to death.

The voice of chickens and dogs is heard, and the old and dead do not get along!

Taoism is like that! If you can't get along with one person or a group of people, you won't get along with each other in the future.

Can't afford to provoke Lao Tzu and can't hide? Labor and management avoid you and let you. If you still can't do it, labor and management will destroy you.

Seeing that Zhuangzi's face couldn't hold it, the Marquis of Jianhe smiled again and said, "It's not that your family is short of food, what are you anxious about?" ”

Zhuangzi raised his head and glanced at the Marquis of Jian Hehou with contempt, but did not speak.

"If you are so kind, you sell your family's jade pendants and jade, it may be worth a lot of money!" Jian Hehou's face changed, returned to normal, and asked.

"This?" Zhuangzi endured his anger and said, "No one can afford it?" ”

"Bring it! Sell it to me! I'll give you the money! Jian Hehou said anxiously.

"Sold to you?"

Zhuangzi thought to himself: Can you afford it? A few pieces of jade in my family can be said to be priceless, you? Just because you, a marquis of the river, a hereditary nobleman, can afford it?

My family has more gold than you think. If I'm as selfish as you are, I'm richer than you!

Isn't it? In order to take out gold and silver in disguise?

Otherwise! I'm too lazy to take care of you!

"I'll buy as much as you have!" Jian Hehou said indifferently with the face of a victor.

Zhuangzi endured his anger and said: "These are left by my mother, and they are passed down to future generations, not for sale!" ”

"It's all your mother's snatch, right?"

"You?"

It's not so humiliating to humiliate people, is it? Zhuangzi stood up angrily, eager to slap the other twice.

"Daddy!" Zhuang Su walked in quickly, and first shouted to the old man Dad. Then! He called Zhuangzi Daddy again.

"Daddy! The food and drinks are ready, and you can talk while you drink! Father! Sit! Sit! Sit? ”

Under the greeting of his son Zhuang Su, Zhuang Zi restrained the anger on his face and sat back in his seat.

"These jade artifacts were given by others, my mother has done so many good things, and people remember it. There are also a few pieces of jade that were given by the princes and kings, can the common people and the ordinary nobles have this jade? Zhuangzi said with a sigh of relief.

After humiliating Zhuangzi, the Marquis of Jianhe stopped laughing with Zhuangzi, changed his smile and said, "It's not that I don't lend you silver and food!" If you don't have anything to eat, I'm not lending it to you, but! To you! Isn't it? Where can you make your in-laws suffer? I mean! ”

Jian Hehou looked at Zhuangzi's face, paused, and continued: "You lent it to those poor people, can they pay it back?" Isn't it? In this troubled world, they will die at any time! When they die, who will pay them back? Isn't it? They just don't die! They will not be able to pay it back in their lifetime, and their children and grandchildren will not be able to pay it back. It's not that I don't borrow! It's that this world can't make people ......."

Zhuangzi interrupted: "I borrowed it and I returned it!" ”

"Do you have the ability to pay it back, do you still need to borrow it?" Jian Hehou said bluntly.

"Me?" Zhuangzi was so angry that he was about to have another attack, but he still held back his anger and said, "Hui Shi promised to give me some money to help those poor people. ”

"Hui Shi, he's a fool, huh? Can't he go and save those people himself? He wants you to come to the rescue? What is he? ”

That means: Learn from Lei Feng and don't bring it like this! Can't he do good deeds by himself, leave a name for himself, and accumulate virtue? He gave you the money to do good deeds? Then he must be a fool!

When the words are said to this point, Zhuangzi will no longer talk nonsense. After lunch, he got up and took his leave.

Regardless of whether you have borrowed money or not, when you go home, you can take out a few taels of silver to help others, saying that you have borrowed it in the past two days.

Alas! This thing! It's just to find yourself angry! The seller has been preventing him from coming, but he still won't listen to the dissuasion. Outcome! Self-inflicted humiliation.

After leaving the Jianhe Marquis's Mansion and arriving at a place where there was no one, Zhuangzi returned home in a flash, so angry that he ignored no one, and hid in the room alone and got angry.

Seeing that his in-laws were gone, Jian Hehou sighed and said to himself: "There is something wrong with your head!" What Taoist doctrine inheritors? Inherit a fart! If you have money, you will spend it, and if you don't have money, you will be poor, who are you? ”

When his son-in-law Zhuang Su came over, he called Zhuang Su to the front.

"Go and prepare some food and silver, not much! Take it back and see your dad! Your sister and your brother! Whoever is in trouble should give more. Remember! Don't learn from your dad! Your dad deserves to starve to death! Who told him not to save money? ”

"Yes! Father! Thank you Dad! ”

The Marquis of Jianhe glanced at Zhuang Su and stopped: "I'm not the kind of heinous person!" I just don't sympathize with those who won't live! Taxes are coming soon! You know it! Is that kind of person your dad and me? Where do I force others to give the taxes that I can't collect?

Can me? It's hard, too! How much do I have left after deducting the taxes paid to the treasury? I! A prison marquis! I! If I had been ruthless, I wouldn't be what I am now, and I could go to live in the capital! ”

"Daddy! I get you! Father! ”

Zhuang Su said, took a few steps back, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed to the old man seriously to express his gratitude.

Under the care of his father-in-law, Zhuang Su prepared five bags of grain and fifty taels of silver, got into his own carriage, and drove the carriage back to his hometown in the town.

At noon the next day, he returned to his hometown in the town, and under the auspices of the seller, he divided the five bags of grain. The eldest sister and the second sister's family have a bag of grain, plus fifteen taels of silver. The eldest brother and the second brother's family have a bag of grain per person, plus five taels of silver. The remaining bag of grain and ten taels of silver were left for Miss Zhuang Lian.

Because! The brother-in-law is a disabled person and has to be taken care of as well. And also! My father and mother have been living with my little sister, and the family burden is also very heavy.

Afternoon! Zhuang Su drove the carriage and sent the grain and silver out. At night! Back home.

Zhuangzi saw that the marquis of Jianhe was not so ruthless, and his anger disappeared.

"Daddy!" Zhuang Su smiled: "My father-in-law said! You're stupid! Hehehe! ”

"I'm stupid! I'm stupid! I'm stupid! Zhuangzi replied with a smile and a smile.

"My father-in-law said! Hehehe! Zhuang Su couldn't say anything with a smile, and said instead: "Actually! He's not that bad yet! Father! I knew it when I was taxing him! He saw that others could not pay their taxes, and he sympathized with the poverty of his family. But? He didn't collect all the taxes he wanted, he also had to pay them to the treasury! Father! He's hard......"
