Wang Cheng's Translation of Classical Chinese

Wang Cheng was originally the son of an old bureaucrat in Pingyuan County. He is lazy by nature and his life is becoming more and more uncertain. There are only a few shabby rooms left, lying on a broken straw mat with my wife, often complaining and cursing each other, which is unbearable. It's hot in summer. There used to be a Zhou Jia Garden outside the village, but the wall collapsed and the house collapsed, leaving only a pavilion.

Many people in the village come here to enjoy the cool, and Wang Cheng is one of them. One day, after dawn, everyone who slept here left. The sun rose three strokes, and Wang Chengcai got up and staggered home. Suddenly I saw a golden hairpin in the grass. He picked it up and looked at it. It is engraved with a line of fine print "Made in Yibin House". Wang Cheng's grandfather used to be the guest of honor at Henggong, and many old things at home were in this style, so Wang Cheng and Chai Jin hesitated for a long time. At this moment, an old woman came to Chai Jin. Although Wang Cheng was poor, she was honest and frank, and quickly took it out and gave it to her. The old woman was very happy and spoke highly of Wang Cheng's moral character, saying, "Chai Jin is not worth much money, but it is the legacy of her late husband." Wang Cheng asked, "Who is your husband?" The old woman replied, "It's the late guest, the King of Cambodia." Wang Cheng said in surprise, "That's my grandfather! How do you know each other? " The old woman was also surprised and said, "Are you the grandson of Wang Kamizhi? I am a fox. One hundred years ago, I fell in love with your grandfather. After your grandfather died, I lived in seclusion. I lost my golden hairpin when I passed by here today. You just picked it up. Isn't this God's arrangement! " Wang Cheng also heard that his grandfather had a fox wife, so he believed the old woman's words and invited her to sit at home. The old woman went with him. Wang Cheng called his wife out to meet him, only to find her in rags, sallow and emaciated. The old woman sighed and said, "Cough! The grandson of King Cambodia is so pitiful! " Seeing that there was no trace of fireworks in the broken old stove, the old woman said, "What do you live on in such a family?" Wang's wife told the old woman the poor situation in detail, and she couldn't help sobbing. The old woman gave the cake to Wang's wife and asked her to go to the market to buy some rice for the time being and meet again in three days. Wang Cheng kept her, and the old woman said, "I can't afford a wife. I'm here, and you can only look up at the roof. What's the use? " Say that finish going away. Wang Cheng told his wife the origin of the old woman, and her wife was very scared. Wang Cheng praised her kindness and asked his wife to wait on her like a mother-in-law, and her wife agreed. Three days later, the old woman really came. Take out some money and let Wang Cheng buy rice and a stone each. In the evening, she and Wang Cheng's wife slept in a short bed. My wife was scared at first, but when she saw her sincerity, she stopped being suspicious.

The next day, the old woman said to Wang Cheng, "Don't be lazy, grandson, do some small business. How can I be idle for a long time? " Wang Cheng told her that she had no capital. The old woman said, "With your grandfather around, I can take gold and silver silks and satins." I don't need these things, because I'm an outsider, so I didn't take too much. I only saved forty taels of silver to buy powder, and I still have it. It's no use leaving it with me for a long time. You can buy it all and sell it in Beijing immediately, so you can make some money. "Wang Cheng listened to her and bought more than fifty cuckoos. The old woman told him to pack his things at once. It is estimated that he will arrive in Beijing in six or seven days. And told Wang Cheng: "Be diligent, not lazy; Be quick, not slow. If you are a day late, you will regret it. " Wang Cheng respectfully agreed and set off with the goods.

Wang Cheng got caught in the rain halfway, and his clothes and shoes were wet. He has never experienced wind and frost in his life, so he decided to rest in the hotel for the time being. I don't want it to rain all night. The rain on the eaves is like a rope. After a night, the road became more muddy and difficult to walk. Wang is prejudiced against pedestrians, and the water does not reach his ankles, so he is afraid of suffering. It didn't rain until noon. But after a while, it was cloudy and it rained heavily again, so Wang Cheng had to stay for another night before leaving. When I was near Beijing, Wang Cheng was secretly pleased to hear that the price of gabbro had skyrocketed. After entering Beijing, he came to the inn to unpack, and the owner was sorry that he was late. It turns out that the road in the south has just been opened, and Gebu is rarely transported to Beijing; Baylor House was in a hurry to buy it again, and the price suddenly rose, which was three times more expensive than usual. It was just bought in full the day before. Then people were disappointed. The shopkeeper told Wang Cheng the reason, and Wang Cheng was unhappy. After a day, more and more cloth was shipped to Beijing, and the price dropped even more. Wang cheng refused to sell it because it was unprofitable, and it took more than ten days. He spent a lot of money on calculating accommodation, which made him even more annoyed. The shopkeeper advised him to sell Gebu cheaply and switch to other businesses. Wang Cheng had to listen, lost a dozen taels of silver and sold all the cloth. Get up in the morning, Wang Chengguo is ready to go back. When he opened the bag, all the money was gone. Wang Cheng told the shopkeeper in a panic that there was nothing the shopkeeper could do. Someone told Wang Cheng to report to the government and asked the shopkeeper to pay back the money. Wang Cheng sighed and said, "This is my destiny. What does it have to do with the owner? " The shopkeeper was very grateful to him after hearing about it, and gave him five taels of silver to comfort him and let him go back. Wang Cheng himself thought about going back to see his grandmother, and he was in a dilemma.

One day, Wang Cheng happened to see a quail warrior, and a bet was thousands of pence. It usually costs more than one hundred pence to buy a quail. His heart suddenly moved, and he calculated that the money in the bag was only enough to sell quail, so he went back to discuss with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper strongly encouraged him and made an appointment to let him stay in the store, take care of his meals and not charge him money. Wang Cheng was very happy and went on his way. He bought a car full of quails and returned to Beijing. The shopkeeper is very happy and hopes that he can sell out as soon as possible. At night, it rained heavily until dawn. After dawn, the water flowed like a river in the street, but the rain still didn't stop. Wang Cheng had to stay in the shop and wait for sunny days. But it rained for several days. Look at this cage. Quails are dying slowly. Wang Cheng was so scared that he didn't know what to do. Another day passed, and many people died, only a few left, and they were merged into a cage to raise. After a night, I went to see it again and only one was still alive. Wang Cheng told the shopkeeper that he was in tears. The shopkeeper also sighed for him. Wang Cheng felt that all his money was gone, and it was difficult for him to go home. He just wants to die. The shopkeeper comforted him and went to see the surviving quail with him. After careful examination, the shopkeeper said, "This quail seems unusual. Those dead quails may not have been killed by it. If you are idle now, train it. If it is a thoroughbred, you can use it to gamble for a living. " Wang Cheng did as his master instructed. After taming, the shopkeeper asked him to take it to the street and bet on some wine and rice. This quail is very strong and won several times. The shopkeeper was very happy and gave Wang Cheng some money to gamble with rich children, but he won again and again. After more than half a year, Wang Cheng accumulated twenty taels of silver, and gradually felt relieved, taking this quail as his own life. At first, there was a big prince who shot quail. Every Lantern Festival, folk quail farmers are put into the palace to fight with their quails. The shopkeeper told Wang Cheng, "It's easy to get rich now. What I don't know is how lucky you are. " So he told him about shooting quail in the palace of the eldest prince, took him with him and said, "If you lose, you will feel discouraged;" If you win the battle, the big prince will definitely buy it. Don't promise. If he insists on buying it, look at my face and act, and I will promise him after nodding. " Wang Cheng said, "All right. "

When we arrived at the palace, the quail hunters were already crowded under the temple steps. After a while, the prince walked out of the imperial palace, and the left and right attendants announced, "Those who are willing to fight come up." Immediately, a man came running with quail in his hand. The prince ordered the quails in the palace to be released, and the guests also released their own quails. As soon as two quails fought, the guest was defeated and the prince laughed. In a short time, several people have lost on the stage. The shopkeeper said, "OK." Wang He stepped onto the stage. The prince looked at Wang Cheng's quail carefully and said, "There are angry blood vessels in his eyes. This is a fierce and aggressive bird. Don't underestimate your enemy! " Take a quail named Iron Mouth and beat it. After a leap, the quail in Wang Fu was defeated. Choose a better one, but lose one if you change it. The prince hurried to retrieve the jade quail from the palace. After a while, someone brought quail out. I saw it was all white, like a heron, very special. Wang Cheng was timid and knelt down to beg for mercy, saying, "Your majesty's quail is sacred; I am afraid of hurting my bird and ruining my job. " The prince smiled and said, "Let it out! If you fight to death, I will compensate you heavily. " Wang Cheng released the quail, and the prince's jade quail rushed over. At this time, Wang Cheng lay there alone, waiting like an angry chicken. With a sudden peck, Wang Cheng's quail suddenly flew and jumped up like a crane. Two quails flew around for a long time, and the jade quail was getting tired. And Wang Cheng is more vigorous and brave, and the more he fights, the more urgent he is. After a while, the white feather of the jade quail was pecked off and flew away. Thousands of people watching around all admire and admire Wang Cheng's quail.

The prince then put the quail in his hand and examined it from mouth to paw. He asked Wang Cheng, "Do you sell quail?" Wang Cheng replied, "I don't have any property. I live with it and don't want to sell it." The prince said, "give you a good price, and the property of the middle-class family will be available at once." Will you? " Wang Cheng bowed his head, thought for a long time and said, "I didn't want to sell it at first. Since the king likes it so much, if the king can really give me a well-fed industry, what can I ask for? " When the prince asked the price, Wang Cheng replied that it was 1,200 pieces of silver. The prince smiled and said, "Idiot! What kind of treasure is this, which can be worth 1,200 pieces of silver? " Wang Cheng said, "Your Majesty doesn't think it is a treasure, but I don't think the priceless Baoyu is as valuable as it." The prince said, "Why?" Wang Cheng said: "Little people take it to the market to gamble, and they can exchange a few taels of rice at a time. A dozen people in a family expect it to eat, and they are not afraid to starve to death. What treasures can compare with it? " The prince said, "I won't treat you badly. I'll give you two hundred and twenty pieces of silver." Wang Cheng shook his head. The prince added another 120. Wang Cheng took a look at the shopkeeper and saw that the shopkeeper was unmoved. He said, "Thanks to your willingness to buy it, I am willing to sell it to you at 120 or 920 taels of silver." The prince said, "Forget it, who will exchange 920 taels of silver for a quail!" " Wang Cheng picked up quail before he wanted to get up. "。 The prince shouted, "quail breeders come back!" Quail farmers are back! Truly, truly, I will give you six hundred and twenty pieces of silver, and I will sell it, or I will forget it! " Wang Cheng looked at the shopkeeper again, but the shopkeeper was still expressionless. Wang Cheng was satisfied and was afraid of losing this opportunity. He said, "I really don't want to sell it to you at this price. However, I can't buy or sell for a long time, so I can't afford to offend the sovereign. There is no other way, so we have to do what the report says! The monarch was very happy and immediately weighed out the money and gave it to him. Wang Cheng wrapped the silver, thanked it and handed it out. The shopkeeper complained, "What did I say? You are in such a hurry to sell it yourself. Pay the price again, and you will have eight hundred and twenty pieces of silver. " When Wang Cheng came back, he threw the silver on the table and let the shopkeeper take it himself, but the shopkeeper didn't want it. Wang Cheng gave in again and again, and the shopkeeper finished the meal and accepted it.

Wang Cheng packed his things and went home, recounted his experiences in detail, and took out money to make everyone happy. The old woman asked him to buy 300 acres of fertile land, build a house and set up furniture, which unexpectedly restored the family scene of his ancestors. The old woman gets up early every day and asks Wang Cheng to urge her helpers to farm. Wang Cheng's wife urged her family to spin. The old woman scolded them for being a little lazy. Husband and wife do their own jobs and dare not complain. After three years, the family was rich and the old woman left. The husband and wife kept her together until they shed tears sadly, and the old woman stayed. But the next morning, when the couple went to pay their respects, the old woman was gone.

Yi Shi said: It is extremely rare to get wealth through hard work, but not many people get wealth through laziness. But you should know that Wang Chengqi is "poor and immobile", which is why God abandoned him but finally loved him. How can there really be wealth in laziness!

Wang Cheng's Original Classical Chinese

Wang Cheng, an old family member of Pingyuan. Sex is the laziest, my career is sunset, and there are only a few broken houses left, lying in cow clothes with my wife.

It is very hot in midsummer. Outside the village is Zhou's garden. The walls are all inclined and there is only one pavilion. There are many people in the village boarding among them, and Wang is there. As soon as he knew that the person at the bedside had left, the Red Sun Tripolar King began to wander back. I saw a golden hairpin in the grass, and I picked it up, engraved with a fine line of cloud: Yibin government system. "Wang Zu is a VIP of Hengfu, so she has this style, because she hesitated. I'm looking for firewood Although the king is poor, he is naturally introduced and awarded. He was very happy and praised these virtues. He said, "What is the value of firewood? My late husband left me a legacy." Q: "Who is the husband? Answer the cloud: "Therefore, I am a distinguished guest and the king of Cambodia." "Wang Jing said," my ancestors, why did they meet? Zhou Dao: "You are the grandson of the King of Cambodia." . I am a fox. One hundred years ago, I married Junzu, and Junzu died. After this, it won't be a few days! "On one occasion, Wang heard that his ancestors had a fox wife, believed his ancestors' words, and invited them to visit. Follow it.

Wang asked his wife to come out to see him, and the food was gloomy. I sighed and said, "Hey! The grandson of King Cambodia is so pitiful! " While taking care of the smokeless stove, he said, "In that case, why not talk about life?" The wife sobbed and swallowed because she explained poverty. Please come to see me again in three days. Wang kept it. Yu said, "If your wife can't have children, what good is it for me to live in my house?" Then go. When the king is a wife, he tells his story, but his wife is terrible. The king recited his righteousness, made his aunt do it, and his wife promised. After three days, the fruit will produce a few pieces of gold, millet and wheat. Stay in a short bed with women at night. Women are afraid at first, but they don't doubt it when they see its meaning.

The next day, he said to the king of Qi, "Sun, don't be sentimental. You'd better do some small business. You can grow up after eating Wu!" The king told him that he had no capital. Yu Yue said, "When the ancestors were alive, Jin Quan took them. I don't think outsiders need anything, so I didn't take much. Forty taels of gold accumulated in pollen still exist today. It's useless to keep it for a long time, but you can go to the city and the capital every day and get some interest. " Wang Congzhi bought more than 50 pieces to return. We can reach Yan Dou in six or seven days. He said, "Be diligent, not lazy, not anxious and not procrastinating. It's too late to regret it! " Wang Jingnuo, pack your bags and go. It rained, and my clothes and shoes were soaked. Wang has never experienced wind and frost in his life, and he is overwhelmed because he temporarily suspended his hotel. Unexpectedly, it was full of dusk and the rain was like a rope. Spending the night is very beneficial. Seeing passers-by practice without shin, they are afraid of suffering. The pavilion began to work at noon, but the clouds and rain were urgent. Shinjuku is ok. Near Beijing, it is rumored that Ge is expensive, and my heart is secretly pleased. When he entered the capital and opened the inn, the host deeply regretted his lateness. First of all, the south road has just begun to pass, which is rare. Baylor House is in a hurry to buy, and the price is steep, which can often triple. The Japanese bought enough the day before, but the latecomers were disappointed. The master told the king about it. Wang Yu is not happy. The more ge comes, the better the price, and the king refuses to sell it because it is unprofitable. If you are ten days late, you will be more annoyed and depressed. The master advised him to sell at a low price and changed his plan. As a result, I lost more than ten dollars, and I took it off. If you get up early, you will count, and if you look at your bag, you will die. Surprise the host, the host will do nothing. Or suggest that the official blame the owner for compensation. The king sighed and said, "I count this." What does it have to do with my master? " Hearing this, the host rewarded him with gold and five taels of condolences.

I miss my grandmother, and I am in a dilemma. If you meet a quail warrior, bet thousands; A quail in each city is worth more than one hundred dollars. I suddenly moved my heart, and the money in my bag was only enough to sell quail, so the business owner and the shopkeeper urged me. As for fake eating and drinking, don't take its value. Therefore, Wang Xi. Buy quail surplus and return to the capital. The owner was very happy and congratulated him on selling it soon. It rained heavily at night, and it was raining like a river in the morning. Waiting for the weather, for several days in a row, more endless. Quails in cages are dying. Wang Dawei was scared and didn't know what to do. The more you die, the more you have left. Feed in a cage. Looking at the night, there is only one quail left. Because I told the master, I felt that I was crying, and the master was embarrassed. The king spent all his money in vain, but he wanted to die, so his master comforted him. * * * looked at the quail and said, "This looks like something from England. The death of quail is not necessarily a battle. You have nothing to do in your spare time. Please accept it. If you are good, you can make a living by gambling. " Wang Ruqi teaches.

Since he was tamed, his master ordered him to gamble on wine and food in the street. Quails are healthy and need to win. The master was very happy and rewarded the king with gold, so that he could bet with the children and win three out of three games. If you accumulate 20 gold in half a year, you will feel comforted and stand out from the crowd.

First of all, the big prince is a good quail, each worth more than one yuan. It is necessary for the people to put quails into the palace. The master said to the king, "Today's great wealth should be achieved, but it is unknown that it is up to the son." Because of complaints, it leads to the past. I told him, "If you lose, you will be discouraged. If there are one in ten thousand quails, the king will want the market, and you shouldn't; If it is strong, it is only to have hope first, and then to be approved. " The king said, "Promise me." At the mansion, the quails jostled under the mound. After a while, the king walked out of the palace. Left and right manifesto: "Willing to fight." That is, a person pushes quail in. The king ordered quails to be released, and so did the guests. Just one leap, the guest quail was defeated. Wang Daxiao. Several people were defeated at once. The master said, "Not bad." Both sides will be promoted. Wang Xiangzhi said: "There is anger in the eyes, and this healthy feather is also good. Don't underestimate your enemy. " Whoever takes the iron mouth should take it. Jumping again and again, the king quail failed. If you choose better, you will lose it again. The king urgently ordered to take the jade quail from the palace. When the film was released, the feathers were like herons, and the power was extraordinary. Wang was flattered and knelt down and begged, "Your quail is sacred. I'm afraid it will hurt my poultry and lose my future." Wang smiled and said, "If the battle is killed, you should pay for it." Success is vertical. Jade quail went straight to it. Jade quail will be as angry as a chicken when it comes. Jade quail's healthy beak, such as Shoukaku hit it. Advance and retreat, stalemate. Jade quail is more and more slack, more and more angry, and more and more urgent. After a while, the snow fell and flew away. There are thousands of viewers, and they are not envious. Wang Nai asked for it and gave it to him himself. He pecked his paw. After a week's experiment, he asked Cheng, "Are there any quails?" Answer: "I don't have permanent property. I live with the other party and don't want to sell it." The king said, "If you give me a lot of money, the income of China people can be earned. Very willing? " Cheng thought for a long time and said, "I'm not happy; Since the Valley King loves it, if I can get food and clothing for the villain, what do I want? " Wang Zhi asked and answered with a thousand dollars. Wang smiled and said, "Idiot man! What is this baby? " Cheng said, "Your majesty doesn't think it's a treasure, but I think it's priceless." The king said, "How?" He said: "I put my hand in the city and take a few gold every day, so it's easy to get up and beat millet." There are more than ten index fingers in my family who are not afraid of cold. What is it? " The king said, "I'll give you 200 gold if you don't lose money." Shake your head. Add another hundred. Cheng looked at his master, but he remained indifferent. He said, "Please reduce your price by 100% according to your majesty's order." The king said, "Stop! Who wants to spend 900 on a quail! " Quails are ready. "If the quails come, they will actually give them to 600 yuan," cried the king. They are willing to sell, otherwise they are deaf. " As a master, a master should have self-control. I am full of hope, but I am afraid of losing time. I said, "I am really dissatisfied with selling this number. But if you don't make it, you will get a big deal. If there is no one, it is like the life of a king. " Wang Xi, that is, pay in proportion. The gold in the bag is used up. The master said, "What can I say? I'm in a hurry! Don't do it, 800 gold is in the palm of your hand. " Cheng Gui, in the case of throwing gold, please ask the master to take it himself, and the master will not accept it. Let it go, but be direct. Wang Zhi pretended to be back. Go home, cross it, and walk out of Jin Xiangqing. He ordered to buy 300 acres of fertile land and build a house as a tool, which was a noble family. Get up early and let you supervise farming, and women supervise knitting. A little bit. Husband and wife live in harmony and dare not complain. Three years later, my family is rich and I want to leave. Lovers * * * embrace it, tears welled up. I stopped, too Xu Dan waiting, already embarrassed. A different stone lion said, "All wealth comes from diligence, which only comes from laziness, and laziness also creates fame. I don't know how poor I am, but I don't want to change my nature. This day is why I began to dislike it and ended in pity. There is wealth if you are lazy! "
