"Who? Silly, right? ”

"Really! Brother Zhuang! The seller opened the cloth bag and took out a handful of white flowers and silver from it.

Absolutely true! Just by virtue of the seller's hand, there are at least a dozen taels. Looking at the weight of that cloth bag, there are at least more than a hundred taels.

"And gold!"

The seller put the silver back into the cloth bag, tied the mouth of the cloth bag, and took out a piece of yellow gold from the place close to him.

This is a piece of natural raw gold, which weighs seven or eight taels.

"Who? Who is so stupid? ”

Zhuangzi took the piece of natural raw gold in disbelief, took it in his hand and looked at it over and over again, and couldn't believe it? Who? Who's stupid, right? Where do you throw the silver and the gold into others?

And then! looked at the seller and asked very seriously, "Who sent it?" Say! ”

"Brother Zhuang? Are you stupid? Brother Zhuang? Mai'er looked at Zhuangzi in disbelief, and when he saw Zhuangzi's black face, he restrained his excitement, and was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry again. She defended: "Brother Zhuang! It was really thrown into the yard by someone else, not given by someone else! Brother Zhuang? I didn't take anything from others! No! I didn't take advantage of others! ”

"Who? Tell us what happened? Seeing that Mai'er was about to cry again, Zhuangzi eased his expression and tone and became much more easy-going.

"Brother Zhuang! How do I know? At noon, I was eating at home, but suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door of the courtyard outside, I thought it was Brother Zhuang, you are back, so I ran over to open the door. Hey! Speech! elder brother

Outside the door stood a man on horseback, sweating profusely. He asked me? Is this Zhuangzi's home? I said yes! He asked me if Zhuangzi was at home? I said no! He asked where Zhuangzi had gone? I said I left in the middle of the night and haven't come back yet. When you knocked on the door, I thought Brother Zhuang was back! He said! Oh! And then say! I'll come back when he comes back. And then! And he rode away.

After a while, I heard someone knocking on the door outside, so I ran out to look, thinking that it was Brother Zhuang, you really came back. At this moment, this cloth bag flew from outside the yard and smashed on the ground with a 'bang' sound, startling me. I picked up the bag and prepared to throw it out. But I was curious, so I opened the bag. It turned out that there was silver and gold in it, which frightened me at the time.

When I came to my senses, I ran over and opened the door to see who was knocking. Outcome! There was not a single suspicious person on the street. Brother Zhuang! I really don't know who threw the money at our house? Brother Zhuang? Woowoo woo ......"

"Don't you cry? You? Only then did Zhuangzi put Mai'er in his arms and comforted her. Mai'er took this opportunity and leaned into his arms.

"I didn't take advantage of others! I don't take advantage of others in my life! Woooooo I'm starving to death, and I don't even take advantage of others! Woooooo ”

Zhuangzi gently patted the auctioneer's back and said, "I don't know who sent the silver, you can use it with confidence!" We pretend we don't know. Who made them so stupid? As stupid as I am! ”

said so, Zhuangzi knew in his heart that it was very likely that it was sent by Hei Baotian's family. When they saw that I had not taken a bribe, they probably thought that I had returned it to them because I had given less money. This is not? Doubling the silver?

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhuangzi's mouth showed an imperceptible smile.

Alas! No matter how much money you give me, it's useless, the wicked will die when they die, and I, Zhuangzi, will not track down the murderer. People are not murderers, they are calling for eliminating evil and promoting good.

Do not think that you will be able to plant dirt on me in the future, saying that you have sent money to my house, and there is no one to prove it, and I will not admit it; And don't come tomorrow and remind me that you have thrown money at my house, and I will not admit it, but I will say that I have not seen it. Or! I'll make up a story and fool you.

Or! I said that my house was met with a thief, and the silver you threw yesterday came to my house and was stolen by the thief. Oh! So what to do? You've made me miserable now? What shall I give you back?

Anyway! Your money is thrown away in vain.

Alas! No wonder so many people want to be officials, it turns out! There is such a benefit to being an official! Nima Di! With so much silver and gold, you can live in a poor man's hole for a lifetime.

"Brother Zhuang!" Mai'er came out of Zhuangzi's arms and said seriously: "With so much silver and gold, we can live for many, many years!" ”

"Hmmm! Save it! Zhuangzi reminded: "People are like this, when they don't have silver, they think in their hearts, how to have silver, how much silver there is, how much silver you have, how you can live." But! Once they have money, they will also think: how to have silver, how much silver, how can they live? When the tide rises, people's ideas are never satisfied. So! Be content and happy, and be happy with poverty. ”

"Know! Elder brother! I was born poor, I don't fantasize about living like an aristocracy, I just want not to go hungry, brother! ”

"Hmmm! That's right! Zhuangzi walked into the hall and said, "Don't think about eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, don't pursue tastes, as long as you can eat them to keep you alive and have vitality in your body." It doesn't need to be gorgeous, as long as it's clean, it can cover the body, and it can keep warm in winter. Don't live in high-rise buildings, magnificent, as long as you can shelter from the wind and rain. Don't pursue too much, just be happy in your heart......"

The seller bolted the yard door and trotted over to get an education. Whatever Zhuangzi said, she hummed: "Hmm! Well! Hmmm......"

The two entered the hall, and Zhuangzi sat down on his bed in the hall, and he felt his stomach cry uncontrollably. On the side of Higashiguchi, he only ate one meal. In order to pretend to be Sven, he didn't eat much.

Alas! Nima Di! This way of living is too tiring, pretending everywhere, it's not real at all, it's really not interesting.

If he didn't pretend, he could eat a lot of food in one meal. Just like yesterday in the town office, eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl is called pleasure! Being a human being should be like that, doing it by nature, not pretentious, how good it is!

When he entered the hall, he went into his room, and went back under the bed to hide the gold and silver.

After sitting for a while, seeing that the seller had not yet come out, Zhuangzi went into the kitchen to find something to eat.

In the kitchen, the seller is clean and orderly. On the table in the kitchen, there are several plates neatly arranged, and on the plates are fish pieces, pig's trotters, roast lamb and so on. In the large vat where the food is stored, there is no cooked food, and there is no food in the pot.

Looking at the neatly arranged plates, Zhuangzi was distracted.

He knows! This is what she left for her brother to pick up and eat.

It's a sacrifice!

At some point, the seller appeared at the kitchen door and stood there looking at him.
