A xian's translation

Xishan, a businessman from Gaomi County, Shandong Province, often lives between Mengyin and Yishui. One day, he was caught in a heavy rain on the road. It was already late at night when he arrived at his old place. Knocked on the door of the hotel, but no one answered. He had to wander under the eaves of a family. Suddenly two doors opened and an old man came out and invited him in. Xishan happily followed him in. Tie up the donkey and come to the hall. There is no bed or table in the room. The old man said, "I am a poor guest." You have no place to live, so I invite you in. My family is actually not a family selling wine and rice. There are no extra people at home, only my wife and weak daughter, who have fallen asleep. Although there are some leftovers from the night, I can't heat them because of the lack of cookers. Please don't dislike it and have some cold rice. " When you're done, go in. After a while, he put a low stool on the ground and urged the guests to sit down. I went in and took out a short-legged coffee table. Running around, busy and tired. Xishan stood for a while, then sat for a while, feeling uneasy, so he took the old man to rest. After a while, a girl came out to pour them wine. The old man said, "My family has grown up." When Xishan met this girl, she was sixteen or seventeen years old, slim, beautiful and charming. There was a little brother in Xishan who was unmarried and secretly took a fancy to this girl. He asked the old man about his native place and family background. The old man said, "My name is Gu. My son and grandson have long since passed away, leaving only this daughter. I didn't have the heart to disturb her deep sleep just now. My wife must have woken her up. " Xishan asked, "Whose son-in-law is it?" The old man replied, "I'm not engaged yet." Xishan secretly happy. Then a lot of various dishes were placed, as if they had been prepared a long time ago. After eating, Xishan respectfully thanked me and said, "I met by chance and received your warm reception, which I will never forget." Because the old gentleman is a man of great virtue, I dare to ask one thing. I have a younger brother named Saburo. He is 17 years old and is studying. He is not stupid and stubborn. I want to marry this old gentleman. Don't think my family is poor! "The old man said happily," I live here as a stranger. If you can have a family like you to rely on, please lend me a room, and our family will move to avoid suspense. " Xishan agreed and stood up to thank him. The old man politely arranged for him to stay before going out. The old man came out after the cock crowed. Xishan wash, please After Xishan packed his luggage and gave him money for meals, the old man resolutely refused, saying, "There is absolutely no reason to ask for money for a meal. Besides, we depend on you to be in-laws. "After leaving, Xishan didn't come back from home for more than a month. More than a mile away from this village, I met an old lady leading a girl, whose clothes and hats were all white. I took a closer look and thought that the girl looked like a fairy. The girl turned to look at him again and again, pulling the sleeve of the old lady and saying something in her ear. The old lady stopped and asked Xishan, "Is that Mr. Xi?" Xishan repeatedly called it. The old lady looked sad and said, "Unfortunately, the old man was crushed to death by the collapsed wall. Now we are going to the grave, and there is no one at home. Please wait by the side of the road for a while and we'll be right back. " So he went into the Woods. It took some time to come back. By this time, the road was already dark, so I followed the western hills. The old lady complained about the loneliness of herself and her daughter, and before she knew it, she cried, and Xishan was also sad. The old lady said, "The human feelings in this place are very unkind, and we orphans and widows are very sad. "Xian is your daughter-in-law. I'm afraid it will take many days to miss this opportunity. Why don't I go back with you tonight? " Xishan also agreed. After returning home, the old lady lit a lamp to wait on the guests and finished her meal. She said to Xishan: "We estimated that you will come back soon, so we have sold all the food stored at home;" There are still more than twenty stones, because the road has not been delivered yet. Go north to Siwuli Road, the first gate in the village, and there is a man named Tan Erquan, who is our buyer. Don't be afraid of hard work. First, transport a bag with your donkey. After knocking at the door, tell him that Nancun's grandmother has a few stones of grain and wants to sell it as a travel expense. Ask him to drive the animals to transport them. " Just send a bag of grain to Xishan. Xishan rushed the donkey there, knocked on the door and a paunchy man came out. Xishan made things clear to him, put down the food and came back first. Soon, two servants came with five mules. The old lady led Xishan to the place where the grain was hidden, which turned out to be in the cellar. Xishan went down to give them food in buckets, and the old lady distributed it on it. Ah Xian accepted it and signed the code. I packed them up in an instant and sent them away. * * * delivered four dishes and then gave the money to the old lady. The old woman left them and two mules, packed their things and set off for the East. It was twenty miles before dawn. When I arrived at a market town, I rented cattle at the edge of the market, and Tan Jia's servant went back. After returning home, Xishan told the story to his parents. Both sides are happy to meet each other. The Xi family cleaned another house and let the old lady live in it. The fortune teller chose a good day to marry Saburo. The old lady gave her daughter a complete dowry. Xian is gentle and gentle. When someone talks to her, she just smiles and weaves day and night. So the whole family loves and likes her. A Xian told Saburo, "Tell Brother not to mention our mother and daughter to outsiders when you pass by the west again." Three or four years later, the Xi family became richer, and Saburo entered the county school. One day, Xishan lived in the old neighbor's house, and occasionally talked about the time when he had no place to live and lived in the old man next door. The host said, "You remember the wrong guest. My east neighbor is my uncle's villa. People who lived here often saw strange things three years ago, so it was abandoned for a long time. How can old people and women leave you to stay? " Xishan was surprised, but said nothing further. The owner said, "This house has been empty for ten years, and no one dares to live in it. One day when the wall collapsed, my uncle went to see it and saw a big mouse under the stone. It was as big as a cat and its tail was still shaking outside. Uncle hurried back and greeted many people. The mouse is gone. People suspect that thing is a monster. 10 days later, I went in to test again. It was very quiet, leaving nothing behind. It took more than a year before anyone lived. " Xishan feels more and more strange. After returning home, I had a private chat with my family. I suspected that my new wife was not human, and I was secretly worried about Saburo, but Saburo and Ah Xian were as loving as ever. After a long time, my family has been speculating about this matter, and Ah Xian is somewhat aware of it. In the middle of the night, I said to Saburo, "I have been married to you for several years, and I have never lost my daughter-in-law's character. Now you treat me like a person. Please give me a divorce certificate and let Lang Jun choose a good wife. " As he spoke, tears came down. Saburo said, "You should have known how I feel. Since you came into my house, my family has become richer and richer. Everyone feels that this blessing should be attributed to you. How can there be other ugly words? " Xian said, "Don't I know that Lang Jun has no second thoughts? But people are talking about it one after another. I am afraid it is inevitable to abandon me, just like abandoning fans in autumn. " Saburo comforted and explained again and again, but Ah Xian stopped talking about divorce. Unable to put it down, Xishan found a cat that is good at catching mice and observed Xian's attitude every day. Although Xian is not afraid, he always frowns. One night, she told Saburo that her mother was a little sick and said goodbye to Saburo to see her. After dawn, Saburo went to meet him and saw that the room was empty. Saburo was so scared that he sent people everywhere to look for their trace, but there was no news. Saburo's heart is entangled with thoughts, and he can't eat or sleep. However, Saburo's father and brother were grateful and took turns to comfort and persuade him to remarry, but Saburo was very depressed. After waiting for more than a year, the news broke, and my father and brother often laughed and scolded him. Saburo had to spend a lot of money to buy a concubine, but he still missed a sage. After several years, the family became poorer every day, so they all missed Ah Xian again. Saburo has an uncle's cousin Allen, who has gone to Jiaozhou on business. On the way, he turned a corner to visit his cousin Lu Sheng and stayed at his house. In the evening, Allen heard someone crying in his neighbor's house and didn't have time to ask about it. When he returned to Lu Sheng's home from his work in Jiaozhou, he heard crying again, so he asked his master. The host replied: "A few years ago, two orphans and widows lived in the rental house here. The old lady died last month, and the girl lives alone and has no relatives. It's so sad. " Allen asked, "What's her last name?" The host said: "The surname is Gu. Her family often stays indoors and doesn't communicate with neighbors, so she doesn't know her family background. " Alan said in surprise, "It's my sister-in-law!" So I knocked on the door. Someone came out crying and promised through the door, "Who are you?" There has never been a man in my family. "Alan peeked through the crack of the door and looked at it carefully at a distance. It was my sister-in-law. She said, "Sister-in-law, open the door. I'm Allen from your uncle's house. "After hearing this, Xian dialed the lock to let him in, and told Alan about his loneliness and sadness. Allen said, "My third brother misses you very much. Even if there is a little disagreement between husband and wife, why should he escape from here! "Allen will rent a car to send her back together. Xian said sadly, "My mother and I live here in seclusion because people don't treat me like a human being. Now I have to go back and rely on others by myself. Who doesn't have to look at me with dirty eyes? If I want to go back, I must live separately from my eldest brother. Or I'll be poisoned! Allen went back and told Saburo about it, and Saburo escaped overnight. Husband and wife cried when they met. The next day, I told the owner of the house, Xie Jiansheng. The owner of the house saw that Ah Xian was beautiful and had secretly planned to accept Ah Xian as his concubine, so he refused to accept her rent for several years and hinted to Ah Xian's mother many times that the old lady refused him. When the old lady died, Xie Jiansheng was secretly glad that he could get it, but Saburo suddenly came. So I calculated the rent together for several years to make things difficult for them. Saburo's family is not rich. When he heard that he wanted so much money, he looked very sad. Xian said, "It doesn't matter." Led Saburo to see the granary. There are about thirty stones of grain, which is more than enough to pay the rent. Saburo was very happy and went to tell Xie Jiansheng. Xie Jiansheng doesn't want to eat, but only wants money on purpose. Xian sighed and said, "It's all my fault! So he told Saburo that Xie Jiansheng wanted to accept him as his concubine. "。 Saburo is furious and will sue him in the county. Lu Sheng stopped him. He sold the grain to his neighbors, paid back the money to Xie Jiansheng and drove them home. Saburo told his parents the truth and lived apart from his brother. Xian took out his own money and built a barn for a few days, but everyone was surprised that there was not even a stone of food at home. After more than a year, I went to see it again and saw that the grain in the warehouse was full. A few years later, the family in Saburo was very rich, while the family in Xishan was very poor. Xian takes her in-laws with her to support her, and often gives money to help her eldest brother. She gradually gets used to it. Saburo said happily, "You really don't want to forget the past." Xian said, "He also cares about his younger brother. If it weren't for him, how could I know Saburo? "Nothing strange will happen in the future.
