The Shocking and Extraordinary Romance of the Great Sage

(13) The Jade Egg Bird

Chapter 89: Diao Hua decides on the marriage of his children.

It is said that Yizhou City (Chengdu), the capital of Xichuan, is prosperous.

There are two well-known merchants in the city, one is unruly and the other is slippery. In the tent, the two rich men cooperate with each other in business and have close contacts. The businessman Diao is doing a prosperous timber business; the businessman Hua is doing a prosperous jade business. The ancestors of the two businessmen are all well-known figures in the business world, so the family has a strong foundation. Because Diao and Hua were close to each other, they got married and agreed on the marriage of their children: if one family has a son and the other has a daughter, and they are a good match, it will be a marriage.

At a drinking banquet, two merchants made a blood alliance and made a real bet: if one of them regrets it, he will be compensated with sixty-six thousand taels of silver. And come to the real deal, make a contract, and pledge it as evidence.

The Diao family and the Hua family both hope to have a son, and hope that the other party will have a girl, so that they can turn their in-laws' Miss Qianjin into their own. Later, the Diao family gave birth to a son, but Shang's father, Diao Fangbu, didn't like him and thought he was"ugly." The mother does not think the child is ugly and raises her as a baby. Master Diao said it was too ugly and looked like a dog doll, so he called it Goudan, and its scientific name was Diao Goudan.

In the second year, the Hua family gave birth to a daughter. She became more and more beautiful as she was raised, and named her Meiyu. Her scientific name is Hua Meiyu. Women have undergone a transformation, becoming more and more beautiful. Everyone in the Huada Shang family said that the young master of the Diao family was too ugly, he did not look like a human being, and he did not look like a ghost. Mr. Hua and his wife were concerned about saving face and were afraid that their daughter would be wronged, so they did not want to betroth the beautiful jade to Diao Goudan. However, Huapengzhong and Diao Bubu agreed to marry early and made a written note: If they regret it, they must pay 66,000 taels of silver.

Huafu took out more than 60,000 taels of silver, which was a huge sum that alarmed Xichuan. It was said that the jade business would collapse. Besides, Hua Pengzhong is famous for his stinginess in the business world, how can he compensate. Seeing that her daughter is about to marry into the Diao Mansion, she regrets that she was impulsive and made a contract after drinking. Now, I regret endlessly, but it is too late.

No one is tolerated by someone who is unruly. His reputation is like that of a person who is very unruly. Moreover, he never tolerates anyone outside his home. This businessman is equally cruel, cruel, and even cruel to his relatives. He often"preached scriptures" and said,"If you are not evil-hearted, you will not be able to do business." Sometimes, for a big deal, he would jump up and down, almost crazy, and become insane. He doesn't believe in anyone, not even the gods, but only himself. He is so mean to outsiders and relatives, and extremely stingy, and he has the same bad temper as his stingy business friends. But he was not stingy with his children, he spared no money, he kept concubines everywhere, and he was hidden and no one knew about him. In order to make a fortune, Diao Bubu has achieved great success in his career, and he does whatever it takes to collude with officials and businessmen, and there are many bribes. As long as you make a lot of money, don't be afraid of doing evil secretly. Look at how Diao Bubu is born, and you will see that his face is like a gutter, his nose is collapsed, and his face is ugly.

I think I am beautiful, but my appearance is strange and ugly.

The beef has strong tendons and a big slippery head, and its two beards are curved and hooked.

Fiery and harsh words are greedy, and money is never enough.

There was an arranged marriage, the two families agreed on the marriage of their children, and they also made a big gambling contract. As a last resort, Huafu married his daughter Meiyu to Goudan of the Diao family. At the end of the year, Hua Peng was involved in a large business deal of five thousand taels of silver. He racked his brains, planned day and night, stayed awake for seven days and nights, and his heart was in a frenzy. Early in the morning, while I was making plans and making urgent plans, I suddenly felt a sharp pain like an explosion in my head. It turned out to be bleeding in the head, ruptured blood vessels, and cerebral hemorrhage. In an instant, he fell to the ground and died.

There are poems to prove it:

Business is vigorous and vigorous, gold and silver are multiplied by greed.

Working day and night to make a fortune, one would rather violate taboos and become crazy.

Things outside the body are like gods, busy and busy all the time.

How could one know that blood collapse is hidden in secret, just like a demon taking life from a wolf.
