In the Ming Dynasty, at the end of May of the sixth year of Longqing, the twelfth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Muzong Zhu Zaigao, died.

The ten-year-old crown prince Zhu Yijun ascended the throne in a hurry under the support of ministers such as Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and set the year name to be changed to Wanli from next year.

In Taicang Mansion, it has been snowing for three days and three nights.

In this ancient city that encompasses the vicissitudes of life, there is a wealthy family that occupies a large area, and at this time, a white-haired old man looks at the maid and aunt who are in and out of the house, and is as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

This old man, surnamed Wu, was originally a native of the big locust tree in the north, and later Wara went south to make trouble, and after several wanderings, he came to Taicang Mansion.

Later, because the old man was clever and knew some words and ink, he did some small business, and soon accumulated some money, married a wife, bought a field and bought a house, and took root here.

Everything seems to be moving towards a happy and sweet day, but God does not fulfill his wish, and the old man has suffered too much when he was young and lost the foundation of his body, so he has no children under his knees.

The old man was very sad, because in the heart of this old man, what people struggle for in this life is nothing more than being old and having children and grandchildren around their knees.

As he walked through the streets, the old man always sighed with his hands behind his back and asked himself: "If a beggar can have children of his own, why can't he have children if he is as rich as himself?"

Later, a mad Taoist priest in Baiyuguan told him that if he accumulated 12,000 virtues and did good deeds, he could change his fate and give birth to an heir.

The desperate old man was very happy when he heard this good remedy, and worked hard every day to do good, but after ten years, the heirs were not seen, but the family business was getting bigger and bigger.

The old man worked tirelessly on good deeds, at first he made one and wrote down the next, and gradually the books and papers that recorded the good deeds were piled up in several large boxes.

It's just that he is over the age and has not yet had children, and the old man later stopped repaying hope, and only turned doing good deeds into a habit every day.

Until now, the people on the streets of Taicang Mansion have seen him, which one doesn't call him Wu Dashan?

But at the beginning of this year, an accident occurred, and Wu Dashanren's elderly wife turned out to be pregnant.

Wu Dashan was speechless in shock and surprise, but kept dancing his hands and feet. His wife told him that that night, she dreamed that a piece of jade had fallen into her womb and that she became pregnant.

At this time, Wu Dashan suddenly remembered what the crazy Taoist priest of Baiyuguan once said: If you do 12,000 pieces of goodness, you can change your fate and give birth to children.

On the one hand, Wu Dashan spent a lot of money to ask the best maternity wife in Taicang Mansion to take care of his elderly wife, and on the other hand, his wife went to Baiyuguan with a lot of treasures to find the crazy Taoist priest to thank him, but the Taoist temple was still there, but the crazy Taoist priest was gone.

In this way, day by day, Wu Dashan was immersed in anxiety and happiness every day, and finally three days ago, his wife had a premonition of giving birth.

Wu Dashan listened to the screams of his wife in the house due to childbirth, and he was anxious to walk back and forth on the snow, sweating profusely and soaking the back of his clothes.

At this moment, the snowflakes in the sky are getting bigger and bigger, but a cold plum in the corner of the wall is blooming more and more red.

The housekeeper is also surnamed Wu, and he is a filial son who was saved by Wu Dashan when he went out to do business, and later in order to repay his kindness, this filial son followed Wu Dashan to do things.

The appearance of this housekeeper Wu, whether in appearance or temperament, is an honest and loyal person at first glance, and at this moment he is persuading Wu Dashan not to be in a hurry, and his wife will definitely descend the unicorn safely.

If his wife is young, Wu Dashan is naturally not worried, but his wife is already forty years old and six, according to the news he heard and the experience of the midwife, the risk of giving birth to a child at an advanced age is quite high, and if it is not good, it will still be ......

Wu Dashan thought of the terrible word of one corpse and two lives, and he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet anxiously, at this time he couldn't wait to go into the house to give birth to a child for his wife.

Hot water, towels...... The things used in production are constantly sent inside by the maids, but in addition to screaming inside, they still can't wait for the melons to ripen and land, and the baby's cry.

Just when Wu Dashan was anxious to scold, Menzi Qimao'er hurriedly ran over with the snow deep at his feet and reported: "Master, there is a crazy Taoist priest outside the door who wants to see you."

When Wu Dashan heard this, he was about to let Qimao'er's money and wealth Daoists leave quickly, but as soon as the cold wind came, he suddenly became excited, and ran out of the door with his old legs.

Steward Wu kept shouting from behind: "Master is snowy, the ground is slippery, you are so old, be careful!" ”

Where does Wu Dashan still care about his age at this time, he is now taking care of his son!

Outside the door was the mad Taoist priest back then, but the mad Taoist priest's appearance had not changed much after so many years, so Wu Dashan recognized him at once.

Wu Dashan saw that the mad Taoist priest didn't say a word, and knelt in the snow with a flutter, looking at the mad Taoist with tears in his old eyes, hoping that he could save himself and save his unborn son.

The mad Taoist priest pulled up Wu Dashanren and smiled, so that Wu Dashanren should not worry, everything was under his control.

The mad Taoist priest was walking in front, and Wu Dashan was inviting behind. The disciple Qimao'er closed the door against the cold wind, but at this moment, he turned his head and inadvertently saw that the snow under the feet of the mad Taoist priest did not leave the slightest trace of footprints.

Walking in the snow without a trace? Menzi Qimaoer was stunned.

The mad Taoist priest arrived in front of the delivery room, pinched his fingers, and after a while, the entire delivery room was surrounded by a warm spring breeze, and a kind of vitality that grew vigorously in spring spread throughout the house.

The people in the room didn't know what was going on, but it felt good, like lying in my mother's arms, so comfortable.

Everyone standing in the courtyard was the boss with staring eyes at this time, because they not only felt it physically, but also saw it with their eyes.

When the goose feather snow falls to the three-foot high place of the delivery room, it is like encountering a transparent barrier, and the snow falls and accumulates outside the barrier, and everything inside the barrier is full of spring.

Just when everyone was shocked, there was a whining baby screaming and crying in the house, and the sound penetrated the bankrupt house, pierced through the Wu family's house, and echoed throughout Taicang Mansion.

All the people in Taicang Mansion, at this moment, seemed to hear the cry of the baby after birth, and they subconsciously looked in the direction of the Wu family.

Snowflakes are fluttering, inside and outside Taicang Mansion, the vast land is covered in silver.

Babies, like all newborn babies, are crumpled and ugly. It's just that this baby is a little special because he has a handful of fetal hair on his little palm.

The mad priest broke the baby's palm, and when he saw the fetal hair, he smiled and nodded. He held the red fluttering baby in his arms, and then muttered to himself, as if singing a children's rhyme, and said: "Good son, suffering from the world, thousands of generations, do not deceive the heart, do not deceive the master, and today will eventually become a tiger." ”

With that, the mad Taoist touched the baby's forehead with his fingers, and something that seemed to be a faint spring vitality entered the baby's agitated heavenly spirit, and the baby seemed to have encountered something happy in his dream, and actually giggled.

Wu Dashan, who was on the side, heard what the crazy Taoist priest said, and he didn't understand, why did Hao Erlang become a tiger today?

But when he saw Aiko smiling, his happy old face was like a fart.
