"Am I that cruel?" Li Niang sandwiched a bacon bone, put it in her mouth and took a bite, and put it in Xiao Sigou's rice bowl.

Xiao Sigou smiled, chewed the bacon bones with his fart, and ate with relish: "Speaking from the heart, if you really leave me, I am also afraid that I will return to the past, I have no money and no food, and I will be ...... by others."

"Four dogs, you have to be self-aware, you marry this girl as a wife, it is a blessing from your ancestors to accumulate yin virtue." Li Niang poured a glass of wine for the four dogs, "Drink this cup, apologize to me, and this matter will be over." ”

Since Li Niang gave herself a step down, Xiao Sigou no longer cared, holding a wine glass in one hand and pumping his mouth with the other: "My four dogs are not human, and they beat their mother-in-law with their hands, and pigs and dogs are not as good." ”

"You're not human...... Liniang sneered, "Come, eat and drink, Liniang, I forgive you." Then Li Niang brought herself a glass of wine, put it to her mouth, and was about to take a sip.

The four dogs hurriedly grabbed Liniang's wrist and shouted, "Liniang, you can't drink......"

"Why?"

"No why, my mother said that women can't drink alcohol before they have children, otherwise it will not be good for the baby in the belly."

"Is that the case?"

"Isn't it? Once upon a time, there was a white snake spirit who transformed into a human form and truly fell in love with a man in the world. In the Duanyang Festival with her, under the enthusiastic persuasion of her husband, she had to drink some realgar wine, but the result showed her original form, which scared her husband to death, and she had to steal the Ganoderma lucidum grass......"

"Oh." Li Niang nodded. If it weren't for the reminder of the four dogs, she almost forgot that she was happy, and she couldn't drink anyway.

Sigouzi sandwiched a piece of lean meat, put it in Liniang's bowl, and said with a smile: "You eat this, I know you don't like to eat fatty meat." ”

So, the two respected each other again, reconciled, finished eating, cleaned up the table, and then ordered the copper coins, a total of 500 yuan (always 1000 copper coins, about one two pieces of silver), enough for their husband and wife to live for ten or twenty years, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

According to records, during the Tang Zhenguan period, the national strength was strong, the products were abundant, the price was very low, and a bucket of rice only needed 5 yuan. A bucket of rice is about 6.25 kilograms, and the consistent money can buy 1,250 kilograms of rice, which is about 6,250 yuan according to today's lowest rice price of five yuan per kilogram.

Xiao Sigou had never seen so much copper, so he was so happy that he hugged Liniang's waist and kissed Liniang's face: "Mother-in-law, you are really capable." I, Xiao Sigou, got rich, got rich. ”

"Then you don't treat me well, go clean up the table. Serve the palace comfortably, maybe that Emperor Xiao Sanduo is happy, and I can get more money. Li Niang poked Xiao Sigou's head with her finger.

"Mother-in-law, we can't be insatiable. Xiao Sanduo also has his difficulties, although I saved his life, I can't always let him help us. Xiao Sigou let go of his hand.

"Yes, we have hands and feet, with this money, why not do something else, let the money make money, and then help those poor villagers." Li Niang happily accepted Xiao Sigou's point of view.

"Okay. Just do what the mother-in-law says. I'll open a leather goods store another day. Xiao Sigou couldn't help but put his stinky mouth on Liniang's red lips again......

This night, Xiao Sigou washed the dishes, chopsticks and cups for the first time, and Li Niang was on the side, just watching. Then, Xiao Sigou boiled a large amount of water for Li Niang for the first time, carried her into the big bucket with honeysuckle, and slowly rubbed Li Niang's back and body with a bath towel. Hehe, being rich is capricious......

The next day, after Xiao Sigou and his family discussed, they divided thirty-five bags of fifty bags of rice into thirty-five bags for the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village, and kept fifteen bags for themselves. There is too much rice, I can't finish it, it will get moldy, and the weather in the Gutian area is too humid.

With that large sum of copper, Xiao Sigou no longer carried the goods to sell small items from door to door, he went to the town to set up a shop, opened a leather goods store, in addition to buying leather goods, but also purchased mountain treasures, medicinal materials, etc., and became his own boss, Li Niang was in charge of the accounts, and the little couple lived a good life.

In less than four months, Xiao Sigou turned the fifty guan into two hundred, he counted the money, and at the same time said, my four dogs have lived for thirty-five years, and they have not lived in vain, and today I finally understand that it takes life to get rich, and it is not that if you want to get rich, you can get rich. Some people work hard all their lives, but they do nothing, and they suffer from poverty all their lives. And some people don't do anything and are born rich. If you don't have a life, you have to rely on yourself to pick up the word luck and make up the word "fate". What's more, fate is the guise of those big families fooling us poor people!

"What are you so angry about, without me, would you be where you are today?" Li Niang sat on the soft chair and touched her slightly bulging belly.

"That's, that's. Without my mother-in-law, I would probably still be the Xiao Sigou who makes a living by collecting firewood, a dead dog. "Xiao Sigou is happy.

"By the way, four dogs, you are now a big shopkeeper, and you are more or less a prominent figure in our town, and your name has been changed. Otherwise, when the family tree is uploaded in the future, those brainless gentlemen will write a Xiao Sigou, and future generations will be embarrassed to see their ancestors with three dogs and four dogs, and they will feel too faceless. Li Niang said. In fact, she had long wanted to change Xiao Sigou's name, but she didn't have a chance to say it.

One day, when they were free, the young couple rented two "slip rods" and went to Huilong Temple ten miles away to worship incense. When Master Changkong, the abbot of Huilong, saw that the rich lord was coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Master Xiao, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

"Master, how can there be wind? Don't you see that these boys are walking up the mountain and carrying me by their shoulders? Xiao Sigou knocked his head on the Heavenly Spirit Cover of the Sky Master.

"The old man is dizzy, and the donor has learned a lesson. Amitabha. When Xiao Sigou talked like this, Master Changkong was bored, so he had to say, "Please—"

"Master, wait a minute." Xiao Sigou walked a few steps, took out the money bag, and rewarded the porter with some copper, "Little brother, you go to the shade and wait, after an hour, you go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to wait for me." ”

"Thank you, sir." thanked Xiao Sigou for the head footman, and then took the guys to take a cool ride under a big plane tree in front of the temple.

"Donor, what do you ask for when you see that you are full of spring breeze?" Master Sky said.

"There's no hurry. I'll wait until I'm in. Xiao Sigou supported Liniang and cautiously arrived at the door of the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

Just as Li Niang raised her feet and was about to enter the Buddha hall, Changkong blocked the way: "This female donor, the Buddha hall has 'five no's', please stay." ”

"Master, why does Buddhism have so many bullshit rules?" Xiao Sigou wondered, he took his mother-in-law to worship incense sincerely, this wooden fish pimple mage was not allowed to enter, what kind of rule is it?

"Lord Xiao, there are five kinds of people in Buddhism who are not accepted, one is a person who is a great traitor, the second is a person who does not believe in Buddhism, the third is a person who is not right-minded, and the fourth is a woman who comes to menstruation...... This fifth, the old man won't talk about it. Amitabha. "Master Sky clasped his palms together.

"Master, I'm sorry. My daughter-in-law can't enter the Buddhist hall, so I won't go in either. Xiao Sigou looked confused.

"The donor is superficial, superficial. Since you have the heart to go to the door of the Buddha hall, you should go in to worship incense, ask for wealth and officials. Master Sky smiled.

"Am I superficial? Master Changkong, the reason why I don't let my daughter-in-law in, if you say that you are ugly, I will obey you if you are reasonable. Xiao Sigou pointed to the bridge of the Sky Master's nose.

"Amitabha, monks don't speak. Since the donor insisted on wanting to know, the old man said it directly. The Sky Master walked through the door, holding his staff, and explained the reasons for the rules one by one—

Because the temple is full of incense, there may be some substances that will have a very bad effect on the fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman, and even directly lead to miscarriage. Moreover, there is a large flow of people in the temple, and pushing and crowding can happen at any time......

Therefore, pregnant women are likely to encounter sudden accidents, in case of an impact on the fetus, the consequences are terrible. The elder advises pregnant women not to be in a hurry to burn incense for a while, but to wait until the child is born, and after the confinement is over, they can come to the monastery to pray for themselves and their families......

"Where there is a cause, there must be an effect! What a routine! Xiao Sigou was still not convinced, and said in one go: All beings are equal, this is called equality? Say that if you do more good deeds and accumulate virtues, you will be poor in this life, and you will be rich and prosperous in the next life. I believe that he is a ghost, and everyone is their own Buddha.

The Buddha is the Hell of the Forehead, the empty door in troubled times, the golden clothes of the Buddha in the prosperous times, the collection of tenants, the gentry, the fooling of the people, the cutting off of people's blood relatives, the destruction of human roots, all the propaganda of all kinds of disasters, hell doctrine, is to exploit the people at the bottom in disguise, fool the people, and make people believe in their "Buddha said".

The most hateful thing is that the people at the bottom are already poor, and they have to turn their last little hope for life into good fortune to squeeze, what kind of bird fatalism, put shackles around their necks. Fate is impermanent, it is all in their own hands, and they have to turn this world into the fate they want, and the people are not allowed to resist, they can only believe in them, and the imperial power is even more happy to see this, gnawing on the people's fat and people's ointment, how can they ever care about the life and death of the people!

"Amitabha, Buddhism doesn't talk about state affairs. Lord Xiao, if you are not dissatisfied with the old man today, please go to another temple and ask. Master Changkong really had no problem with Xiao Sigou, no longer debating with Xiao Sigou, shook his head helplessly, turned around and sat down on a chair in the Buddhist hall, took out a copy of the "Diamond Sutra", knocked on the wooden fish, and read it wholeheartedly.

Then the two little shatuos came out and stopped Xiao Sigou and his wife very politely: "Two donors, please go back!" ”
