"The two laymen don't believe in the words of the poor way!" The young Taoist made an unfathomable statement, "Actually, the good fortune of the two has arrived, you see-"

The Taoist priest stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction behind the house, there was a piece of land over there, which belonged to the Chong family, but the area was very small, not even a penny, and the soil quality was not good, it could not be cultivated, and it had long been deserted. The mother and son of the Chong family didn't understand how the Taoist priest could point that way.

The expression on the Taoist priest's face was even more obvious: "Poor Dao opened the eyes of heaven, which seemed to the two laymen to be a barren open space, but in the eyes of Poor Dao, there was a precious light. The two of them can dig up and prove whether what Poor Dao said is true or false. ”

Chongzhusheng and Chongmu glanced at each other: Do you want to believe the words of this Taoist priest?

Chongzhusheng: "Mother, you accompany this Taoist leader, and I'll dig and dig in the back." ”

Chong Zhusheng picked up the hoe placed at the base of the wall, climbed over the fence in the backyard, and came to the open space. Although the area of the vacant land is not large, it is a time-consuming and laborious thing to dig up all the space. Chong Zhusheng carefully examined the clearing, and finally found that there was one place that was slightly different from the rest. He walked over, and with a hoe he went down, pulling up the hoe and bringing out a handful of soil. Then hoe down, dig out the earth again, so more than ten times, Chongzhusheng felt that the hoe touched a relatively hard thing. He immediately dropped his hoe, crouched down, and quickly swept away the top dirt with both hands, and saw a small wooden box that looked old but sturdy appeared in the pit a foot deep.

Sure enough, there was something! Chong Zhusheng was surprised and delighted, and shouted incredulously: "Mother, there is really something." ”

Chong's mother accompanied the young Taoist priest to talk in the courtyard, asking where the Taoist priest came from and where he was going.

The young Taoist priest told Chongmu about his origin and whereabouts, but unfortunately he didn't know the two place names, Chongmu. Chongmu's understanding of Taoism was far inferior to that of Buddhism, and after asking about the origin of the young Taoist priest, she didn't know how to continue the topic. was embarrassed, when he heard his son's voice: "Mother, there is really something!" ”

Chongmu's eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't care about the young Taoist priest anymore, so she rushed out of the courtyard gate and walked around the fence to the open space behind the house.

"Mother, look." Chong Zhusheng had already taken the wooden box out of the soil and lifted it up to show Chong's mother.

Chongmu covered her mouth with her hands, and her eyes almost rolled out: "Really, there really is a baby?!" Oh, that Taoist must be a master! I left the Taoist chief in the courtyard, which is too rude! ”

Chongmu returned to her courtyard faster than before, but saw that the courtyard was empty, and there were still Taoist priests.

"What a master!" Chongmu sighed with chagrin that she no longer believed in Buddhism and became the most honest Taoist believer.

Chongzhusheng is very grateful to the young Taoist priest, but he does not regard the Taoist priest as a master like Chongmu, and he has doubts in his heart. But he didn't say it, and kept his doubts in his heart.

"Mother, let's see what's in the box first." Chongzhusheng walked into the house with the box, and Chong's mother hurriedly followed.

The box has no lock and is easy to open. Lifting the lid of the box, there was a cloth package inside, and then the package was opened, and the silver inside blinded the mother and son.

"This, how many taels of silver is this?" Chongmu was so excited that she couldn't help herself.

"Fifty-five taels." Chong Zhusheng looked at so much silver and was also a little excited. Although before my father's accident, the life in the family was not bad, but there was not so much silver.

"Mother, we don't have to borrow money from Yinzi." Chong Zhusheng was extremely happy, he was very reluctant to borrow Yinzi money in his heart, if it weren't for the exhaustion, he would not be forced to borrow Yinzi money.

"Yes, yes, your father's medicine money is enough, and the rest of the money can be redeemed for the land we sold. You can also put down the burden on your body, you can continue to study, take the county exam next year, and come back with a child's exam. Chongmu began to imagine a better life in the future.

Chongzhusheng is also full of expectations and yearning, it is his dream to enter the imperial examination, and he thought that he would never have a chance to realize it.

Suddenly, Chong's mother rushed into her house quickly, and after a while, she rushed out again, and handed the ten copper plates in her hand to Chongzhusheng: "There are only ten copper plates left in the house, and you can't buy meat, but it's enough to buy three eggs and some vegetables." Zhusheng, you go to Grandma Liu's house, exchange some eggs and vegetables with them, and come back, I will cook all the rice. Tonight we have a good meal to celebrate. ”

"Yes." Chong Zhusheng took the copper plate, carried a bamboo basket, and walked out of the house briskly. He touched his shriveled belly, and his heart was full of anticipation for dinner. He hadn't had a full meal in a long time!

That night, the Chong family had a happy and full meal. The next day, Chongzhusheng and Chong's mother took Chong's father into the city to see the doctor, this time because of the abundant money, the doctor prescribed the best medicinal materials to Chong's father, and naturally the money was twice as much as the five taels of silver estimated before, and it cost a full fifteen taels of silver. However, the effect of good medicinal materials is also very good, Chong's father only ate one pair to save and be able to get up, and then took two pairs of medicine to be able to get out of bed. Although his leg is lame and he needs to walk with a cane, Chong's father is a teacher and does not have to work in the fields, except for the inconvenience of mobility, he can still teach and make money. With the remaining money, the Chong family redeemed the three acres of fertile land they had sold cheaply before, and continued to lease it to them for farming, and the annual rent plus the remuneration of Chong's father for teaching made the Chong family return to the original well-off life.

Chong Zhusheng's burden of supporting his family has been relieved, and he is now working hard to review the poems and scriptures under the guidance of Chong's father, in preparation for next year's county exam. Since then, Chongzhusheng's fate has been completely rewritten. Qiusheng, who is dressed as a Taoist priest, and Lan Xiaoyu, who has the idea of providing silver coins, hide their names and names.

In the prison of the Criminal Department, King Heyang sat by the wall in a daze, and at this time he regretted it as much as Lord Jiayi. In the past, he was simply a fool, and he thought that the emperor was supported by his Heyang Palace, so he could hold him with grace, all kinds of arrogance, and he didn't look at the emperor in his eyes. The emperor is not an ordinary person, he is a high-ranking emperor, and his identity is just a courtier, even if he wants to rebel, not many people will follow him. How did he fight the emperor? The Heyang Royal Mansion was passed down for five generations and was finally destroyed in his hands. After he died, how could he go to see the ancestors under the Nine Springs?

"It's not me, it's not me......" The cry of the county lord of Jiayi came from the cell next to him, the king of Heyang wanted to be angry, and he blamed this daughter for everything, otherwise how could the palace of Heyang be defeated so quickly? But in the end, all emotions only turned into a sigh, Jiayi, this child is crazy, what's the use of worrying about her?
