The Legend of Fan Dan

According to legend, in the Western Jin Dynasty a long time ago, He Lin in Guxian County was ruled by Shi Chong. There is a young man named Fan Dan who is very poor. He lives in a thatched cottage and lives alone with his old and blind mother. He makes a living by collecting firewood every day. Although he is poor, he is also very filial to his mother and serves her well. Every day when he goes out, he will say, "Bless the world with wealth, but Fan Dan is poor." . When Fan Dan was mentioned, all the villagers praised him: He is a rare young man!

One day, Fan Dan cut down a load of firewood for a few kilograms of rice. Seeing that it was still early, he thought, "Go and get some fish to cook porridge for grandma. The fish soup is good!" " So I said goodbye to my mother with a fish basket and went to a nearby river. In order to catch fish, Fan Dan didn't know that the weather was changing. At this time, the sky is overcast and the wind is blowing hard, and it will rain heavily soon. Words are divided into two ends. However, the mansion of Shi Chong, a rich man in the city, was in a mess. The housekeeper ordered servants, maids, domestic slaves and other servants to grab the sun-dried food in the yard. Shi Chong and his concubine Liang Lvzhu are slowly admiring his coral tree in the hall, occasionally glancing at the busy slaves from the window. Since having these coral trees, he has disdained the yellow wax stones played by porridge drinkers, the pig (pearl) treasures and jade pendants played by mortals. I thought to myself: Last time you fucking Wang Kai boy dared to show off in front of me with the backing of Emperor Wu of Song, I didn't smash your little coral tree, and you fucking Wang Kai really didn't take me seriously. I'm so fucking happy with a wave of my hand.

Shi Chong has a daughter who is twenty-nine years old and very beautiful. She is busy when she sees others. Many clothes hanging in the attic were blown to the ground by the wind. She quietly collected them and captured them. Just then, she heard a maid shout, "Miss, Miss, the begonia flower has been blown down!" " In desperation, Miss Shi put her clothes on the shrine and ran to see the blown flowers and plants.

"Who put the clothes on the shrine?" Shi Chong asked angrily. The maid and servant looked at each other, sincere and afraid. The young lady said, "It's me! How's it going? Great? " "You! You! How dare you talk back! " Shi Chong flustered "housekeeper! Give her some money and a horse and let her leave the house at once! " Servants dare not disobey.

Miss Shi, with a few pieces of silver in her arms, packed her bags on her back, set foot on what she raised at home, and walked on the ancient river road "with a good son, a good son, a good son".

Desolate Avenue, nobody walks.

The rain finally didn't come down.

Teacher Shi stroked her horse and said, "My good horse, let's go! Since dad doesn't want us, we can't have the cheek to stay at home. If you see any man you can entrust for life, take me to him! " The horse was walking and burning, but I didn't pay attention, thinking of the lady's words.

A man and a horse walked and walked until they reached the river. The horse stopped, took a breath, and restrained his head from braying. Miss Shi looked around and didn't see anyone. She patted the horse: "My good horse, let's go!" " "The horse did not move, continue to sing. Miss Shi looked intently and found someone in the river. I saw this man: tall and straight, with eyebrows and eyes; Seriously focused, more vigorous than Pan An, sunny and simple, stronger than Song Yu; The wind rises on the surface of the water, blowing black hair like black jade. Miss Shi's heart is pounding.

I caught almost all the fish. The harvest today is really good. I also caught a few especially nutritious yellow horns just to make a bowl of fish porridge for my mother. Fan Dan crossed the street and hurried home, fearing that her mother would be worried when she was alone at home. Fan Dan just walked, unaware that there was a man and a horse behind him, followed by "deer deer", which was neither far nor near.

Fan Dan returned home. The horse also stopped at Fan Dan's house. Miss Shi was immediately surprised and happy when she sat down. "Ma, Ma, is it really him?" We really think of a piece! "It is said that when Fan Dan came home, he saw his mother sitting quietly at home peeling beans, and his heart fell to the ground, ready to cook porridge. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a woman sitting. Her face was like a peach blossom petal and her eyes were like eyes. Modesty is like the Mid-Autumn Moon, and shyness is like the flower of spring dawn. Can't help but be surprised: "Miss Shi! "

"Eldest brother, do you know me?"

"I know! I chop wood at your house. I have seen you through the screen in your house! "

At the mention of the stone mansion, Miss Shi burst into tears: "Big Brother! I was kicked out by my dad ... "Miss Shi told Fan Dan why. "Eldest brother, if you don't mind, my daughter is willing to wait on you as a husband."

Fan Dan paused for a long time before saying, "My family is poor ...".

"Never mind, I like your kindness." Miss Shi said.

In Fan Dan's room, the family is surrounded by walls, and the walls are full of wind. The mother sat on the bed in the room, and only through her voice could she know that her son was talking to others. "son! who is it? Don't please sit in the house! "

"mom! Miss Shi is here! "

"Miss Shi?" Mother was startled.

"yes! Miss Shi from Master Shi Chong's house! " Fan Dan said.

"mom! Your old man is good! " Miss Shi's voice was euphemistic and gentle, and then she called her mother, which made the old man happy.

Fan Dan washed the fish and prepared to cook porridge. Miss Shi said, "Big Brother! This is silver. Use it to buy more food and wine in the market. Let the mother's old man also drink two cups. "

"Is this money? Can I buy something? " Fan Dan was surprised. "This is a lot on the stone ridge on the mountain where I cut wood!" It turns out that Fan Dan doesn't sell rice and firewood every day, so it doesn't know about gold and silver.

"Do you have many mountains for chopping wood?" This time, Miss Shi was surprised. Fan Dan nodded and said that he cut wood on the mountain, often stepping on gold with his left foot and silver with his right foot! "Then we'll move it back tomorrow." Miss Shi quickly integrated into this family.

The next day, Miss Heshi went to the mountain and brought back all the gold and silver on the stone ridge. Count it, hehe, hundreds of millions more than the richest man in the world today. In the later days, they hired skilled craftsmen to build a walled house several times wider and more beautiful than Shi Chong's rich house in the village. It's really nine days and eighteen wells, carved beams and painted buildings, and the narrowest building is neat and luxurious.

Finally, there is only one door in the kitchen. The chef told Miss Heshi that we couldn't make this door, so we had to let our grandfather Mr. Luban do it. You wait by the fishing river. At that time, the door coming down from the river was made by Mr. Luban. You can take it back and install it!

Pinch your fingers with Miss Shi, alas! That was twenty years later!

It's a long story. In the days to come, Fan Dan was no longer poor. It's a godsend No one thought that a poor man would marry a rich girl. Shi Chong, who is only miles apart, fainted with anger! I can't help it, my daughter was driven out by myself, so I can assume that I don't have this daughter!

Fan Dan is no longer Shi Chong's firewood. Both he and Miss Shi know Shi Chong's temper. Shi Chong absolutely looks down on the poor.

Miss Shi is also very competitive. She gave birth to five sons for Fan Dan in succession, raising them and being filial to her mother-in-law. Miss Shi has long since lost the luxury of a rich girl, and everyone in Shili village applauds her daughter-in-law. On one occasion, Miss Shi returned to Shi Chong with her son and her family. Shi Chong is lukewarm, even humiliating Fan Dan, who was born in poverty. At the banquet, she did not forget to show off to Fan Dan. She was proud of using gold ingots to cushion the legs of the table.

And Miss Shi invited their parents-in-law to visit them at a suitable time. Shi Chong said dismissively, that boy Wang Kai invited me to pave the road with purple silk screen for forty miles, and I invited him to pave the road with colorful satin screen several times higher than purple silk for fifty miles in return. Do you want to invite me over? It's up to you.

On the same day, Liu Shi, a celebrity of the dynasty, also visited Shi Chong. During the dinner, he was in a hurry and went to the toilet. He just pushed the door open and came out and said, "I made a mistake." This is your bedroom! " "Ha ha, yes, this is the toilet. Go ahead, "said Shi Chong. Fan Dan also saw the luxurious decoration in the toilet along the doorway, with a big bed covered with gauze. Two beautiful women stood on both sides with sachets. It is said that the beauty's sachet contains a piece of cork for shaving her ass, and their job is to wait on her master to shave her ass. Shi Chong said, what's the matter? My servant has washed the pot with sweet syrup and the candles have been burned as firewood. ...

Time flies, the sun flies, and on June 6, the day the supervisor said, Miss Heshi came to the river they had already made an appointment with, and soon a luxurious solid wooden door floated down from the upstream. Fan Dan fished it out of the water and installed the door according to the supervisor's instructions. The room was instantly filled with light, indoor and outdoor. The kitchen is open, with all kinds of delicious food, seafood and delicacies. When everyone saw this style, they all said, "Much richer than Shi Chong!"

The news that Fan Dan made a fortune soon reached Shi Chong. "Who dares to be richer than me?" Shi Chong couldn't sit still any longer.

In fact, a few years ago, in order to invite my father-in-law, Lao Taishan, to visit Fan Dan, all the ancient roads leading to Master and Fan Fu were inlaid with blue and white stone slabs, and each stone slab was polished spotlessly. But Shi Chong never disdained to go to Fan Dan's house, thinking that he could not afford to lose face. As the saying goes, "Today is not what it used to be", Shi Chong sent slaves to report, prepare horses and sit in the sedan chair, and came to visit Fan Fu with my beloved concubine Liang Lvzhu to investigate the competition.

In Fan Fu, Fan Dan, who was born in poverty, didn't show off his wealth like Shi Chong. But with that magical door, it was enough to make Shi Chong and his party stunned. Fan Dan led Shi Chong from one end of the spacious and luxurious enclosure to the other, which impressed Shi Chong deeply. When Fan Dan released water into the fish pond in the patio, the fish swam around and jumped, and all kinds of rare birds such as chickens and ducks scattered on the ears of grain in the yard came to peck at each other, as docile as domestic ones ... Looking at Fan Dan, everything turned into gold, and Shi Chong almost fainted.

At noon, Fan Dan hosted a banquet for Shi Chong in the shade of the yard, and asked his four sons to hold four legs of the table and move with the movement of the shade. The eldest son politely helped his grandfather with food and said, "Grandpa, you're welcome. Please enjoy your meal!" " Fan Dan said, "father-in-law! You use a gold ingot to cushion the foot of the table. It's a dead treasure, but mine is a clown! " The four sons nodded and said in unison, "Grandpa, you're welcome!" " Shi Chong was embarrassed and pale.

From then on, Shi Chong was depressed and frustrated!

That's right: Shi Chong is the richest man in the world, not as good as Fan Dan.

However, there is always luck. Unexpectedly, in the second year, there was a serious drought in Guxian County, He Lin, and the disaster was serious. Fan Dan used up all his wealth and saved hundreds of victims. Since then, Miss Heshi still lives in their old house, serves their mother and leads a harmonious life. (3) In the Spring and Autumn Period, beggars came first. It is said that they helped Confucius and his disciples. According to legend, when Confucius gave a lecture at Luxingtan, he came to the place where the leader of beggar Hanako lived. No sooner had Confucius and his disciples stayed than it began to rain. After 7749 days of continuous rain, Confucius ate up all the food and sent his apprentice Gongye Chang out to borrow food.

Grandpa often went out to borrow food, borrowed it for a while, but didn't borrow it. When he came back, he said to Confucius, "Master, people in this area are very poor and have no food. Only Fan Dan, the leader of the beggar, has some millet. But the locals all say that he is eccentric and ordinary people can't borrow it. Besides, he is a beggar, and it is disgraceful to borrow food from beggars, so I didn't borrow it. " Hearing this, sage Kong thought for a long time and said, "It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a while. Now, just borrow it. As long as you mention my name, he will definitely borrow it. " Hearing this, Gongye often tied the horse home.

Grandpa often comes to the door of the bodhi old zu and knocks on the door before getting off. Fan Dan opened the door and asked, "Who's here? What can I do for you? "

Gongye Chang hurried forward to salute and said, "I am Gongye Chang, a disciple of Confucius. I came to your land from Qufu and ran out of food and grass. I borrowed food from my master and bodhi old zu. " After reading it, he often said, "Your master is a famous saint, and you are his apprentice. Then I'll come up with a question to test you today. If your answer is correct, I will lend you food. If you answer wrong, I won't borrow it. " Hearing this, Gongye often thought, What's so hard about this? Say in a voice: "bodhi old zu, please give me a question!" " "Fan Dan said," more and less? What are you happy about? Gongye Chang thought for a moment and replied, "There are more stars in the sky than the sun and the moon, so it is a pleasure to marry a daughter-in-law." . "Fan Dan listened to, turn round and then walk," don't borrow! Do not borrow! The industrial chief was so anxious that he even shouted, "Lao zu, Lao zu ..." Fan Dan didn't look back. Grandpa often has to drive the cart and walk back dejectedly.

Grandpa often goes back to his residence and tells him about the grain loan. The sage said, "It seems that I have to go."

Soon, the sage and his disciples came to Fan Dan's door. The sage personally came forward to call the door, and Fan Dan greeted him. When the sage raised the question of borrowing grain, Fan Dan nodded and said, "Borrowing grain, let me ask a question. If you get it right, I'll borrow it. If you can't answer correctly, you're welcome. Please borrow it somewhere else. " The sage said, "Yes." Fan Dan said, "What is more and what is less? What are you happy about? " Confucius immediately replied, "There are many villains, but few gentlemen. It is annoying to borrow money to pay me back." Fan Dan listened happily and cheered again and again: "Good! All right! Good! " I turned and took out a goose feather quill from my sleeve, only to find that it was full of millet. Fan Dan said, "Come, sage, lend you millet." Confucius and his disciples were very unhappy when they saw this. The sage thought: You Fan Dan fooled me, so you can borrow it, or you can forget it if you don't. Don't make a fool of yourself in front of my apprentice and embarrass me! But another thought: it is difficult to ask for help! Hey! Borrow it! Then let the apprentice take the pocket to get the millet. Fan Dan fell down with a goose feather tube. His pockets were full, but only a little millet was missing from the goose feather tube. Confucius saw it and suddenly understood that Fan Dan's ancestor was a fairy. Confucius was surprised and happy, so he told his disciples to take all their pockets. As a result, they were full and the millet in the goose feather quill was hollowed out.

The following year, Confucius and his disciples came to Fan Dan's house with millet twice as much as the grain they borrowed. Fan Dan greeted him warmly and brought him wine and rice. After dinner, he began to return the grain. Saint Kong asked his disciples to pour all the millet into the goose feather tube, and the result was less than half a tube. The saint is a little unhappy. Fan Dan had already seen through the sage's mind and said with a straight face, "It's all because I shouldn't have lent it to you. Are you bored? I lent you a bucket full at that time. Today, you returned me less than half a bucket. Does it hurt? " The saint quickly apologized and said, "Don't worry! I will pay this account back sooner or later. " Fan Dan shook his head and said, "You must be unclear in your life!" Confucius said, "Never mind, I still don't know. Let my apprentice return it. " Fan Dan said, "Who is your apprentice?" Confucius replied: "Those who put up the door couplet are all my disciples. Just ask them to grow up! " "What if I am bitten by a dog?" Fan Dan said, "Hit it with a stick." Confucius replied, Fan Dan said, "Your apprentice pays the bill for you, and I'll let him ask for it." The sage quickly asked, "Who is your apprentice?" Fan Dan said, "All beggars are my apprentices." Hearing this, sage Kong said, "OK, that's settled." Two people reached out and high-fived.

Therefore, no matter who goes begging, no one says, "I don't owe you anything." Even if you don't want to give it, you can only say "no" to Fan Dan, a native of Huangxian County outside Chenliu County in Han Dynasty, who was a Shi Yun. When he was young, he worked as an assistant to Wei Cong and sent documents to Du You. Fan Dan is an ambitious man. He was ashamed that he could only be such a servant, so he killed the horse he was riding in osawa, Chenliu County, threw away the headscarf he was wearing as a servant and pretended that he had been robbed. A ghost came to his house and said to his family, "I am Shi Yun, who was killed by a robber. Hurry to osawa in Chenliu County to pack my clothes. " The family went to buy a headscarf. Fan Dan went to Nanjun, and then moved to Gyeonggi area, where he studied with those elites and virtuous people. He didn't go home until 13 years later, and his family no longer knew him. People in Chenliu County praised his ambition and virtue. After his death, he was nicknamed Mr. Chastity.
