& gt& gt Li Fugui sold illicit salt all the year round, made countless money, and soon became the richest man in Jiangnan. Rich as Li Fugui is, he can't read. Li Fugui suffered from illiteracy and yearned for officialdom, so he pinned his hopes on his son, hoping that he could study hard and get ahead in the future. As soon as his son was born, he invited the most famous gentleman in Fiona Fang. As soon as Mr. Wang saw Li Fugui's son Li Ming, he was happy: "Your son's teeth are not long. How can I teach him? " Li Fugui just realized that his desire for success was too urgent. I discussed it with my husband, and when my son is older, my husband will love to teach his son to read again, and he will have a good reputation in the future.

& gt& gt Four years passed quickly. According to the original agreement, Teacher Wang returned to Lifu to teach Li Ming to learn. However, Li Ming is stubborn by nature and doesn't want to study at all. He just cried all day and didn't study at all. There is nothing Mr. Wang can do, so he has to resign and go home. Li Fugui was so worried that he didn't know what was wrong all day and wondered if his son was not the material for reading at all.

& gt& gt& gt One day, Li Cheng, the housekeeper of the Li family, brought back a man. The bearer is an old man of about fifty. He is not well dressed, but his eyes are bright. When Li Fugui saw that people were unusual, he was busy entertaining them. Please be our guest of honor. Greeting after tea, Li Fugui asked the bearer, "I want to know what you are doing here?" Over the years, Li Fugui has learned how to speak appropriately in business. When people saw that Li Fugui was so polite, they stopped talking and told their purpose: "I know you always wanted your son to be an official, but your son doesn't like reading. I want to buy a fame, but you think that in that case, your son will not be a high official. I can make your son the number one scholar. " Hearing this, Li Fugui froze, thinking that many people know that I want my son to study, but few people know that I want him to be an official in the future. The old man knows everything I want, and it is not inconceivable that he can make my son the top scholar. Busy asked: "I don't know what your opinion is. If your husband can make your child a top student in high school, I will definitely not treat you badly. " The fortune teller smiled and said, "naturally, in our business, it is good to have a plan." As you know, some people in our line are terminally ill in their later years, some will be terminally ill, some will go blind early, and some will even die inexplicably. Do you know why? Just because they revealed too many secrets, they were punished by heaven. The reason why I look healthy now is that I have kept this unexpected secret a secret for many years. Since I'm going to tell you now, my conditions will not be low, maybe it's still high for you. Li Fugui thought, "I have plenty of money. Don't you just like money? I'll give you as much as you want, so no problem. Just about to speak, the fortune teller spoke first: "I know that Mr. Li has a lot of money outside, so you can give me as much as I want." "Li Fugui stayed, there is no doubt about what Mr. Wang said." But I don't want money. Rich bad old men will not live a good life, but will make some people jealous and killed. " Li Fugui thinks so, too. I have so much money and hired so many thugs from the hospital. I'm not afraid of someone robbing me? Busy again: "What do you want me to promise you?" The fortune teller said, "I know that as soon as I tell that secret, my eyes will soon go blind." In that case, I can't go anywhere, so I want you to recognize me as your michel platini and ensure that I can spend my old age safely. Think about it! " Li Fugui a listen to, this condition is really high. Just as he hesitated, the fortune teller stood up and said, "Since you are embarrassed, I will leave now." Say that finish and left. Li Fugui thinks that there is no such shop in this village, and it is not a shame to recognize one and a half immortals as michel platini. Don't think for yourself, but also for your son and grandson. I gritted my teeth and grabbed my husband and said, "don't go, don't go, I promised." From today, you are my michel platini. "He also told Acheng," Tell everyone at home that there will be an old man in the Li family from today. " Ah Cheng answered "Yes" and went to work.

& gt& gt& gt fortune teller, no, it should be called old Li Man now. When old Li Man saw that there was no stranger in the room, he asked Li Fugui to come to him and whispered, "Don't we have the custom of raising our heads on February 2nd? The key is this day. Today is the first day of the first month, and it is nearly a month before the rise of Erlong in February. You must find a good swimmer this month. Before the dragon looks up on February 2nd, let him dive into the Qiantang River and hang the ashes of your ancestors on the Dragon Horn. In this way, when the dragon looks up, it will raise the popularity of your family to the sky, and your son will easily become the champion. There must be many people who came out to watch the dragon look up that day, so the person you are looking for must go into the water an hour or two in advance. This method will only be effective if someone discovers it, so this person must be excellent in water. " Li Fugui nodded quickly and said, "Then please calculate for me where this excellent water-based person will be, so that I can send someone to invite him!" Old Li Man said, "I don't know this. It depends on whether you have the sincerity to find it. " Li Fugui thinks so, too. Why is it so easy to be a champion, or is it called a champion?

& gt& gt& gt The next day, Jean Cheng posted many lists in the city, looking for a person with excellent water skills. After Yan Yan's work was completed, he was rewarded with 1200 pieces of silver. One thousand two hundred pieces of silver is Li Fugui's ninety cents Niu Yi, but for the average person, it's terrible. So many people went to the Li family to try it. As a result, no one can persist underwater for two hours after trying. A few days later, Grandpa Li was really blind and believed what Grandpa had said before. Time went by, but I never found the person with excellent water. Li Fugui was in a hurry.

& gt& gt& gt The river is drifting with the wind, and pedestrians come and go along it. At this moment, a fat man hurried by the river. That fat man is well dressed, as if he were rich. As the fat man walked, he suddenly felt that his skirt was caught and he couldn't walk any further. The fat man looked down and saw a dirty little beggar. This little beggar is not alone, followed by a bigger little beggar. Fat people don't know it's a good intention. Seeing that the two children were miserable or in a hurry, he took out a handful of copper coins and threw them on the ground. The little beggar immediately let go of the fat man and bent down to pick up the money on the ground. When the fat man saw the beggar, he didn't stop him and continued to drive away by himself. But another old beggar ran up to him and said, "You haven't given me the money yet!" " "The fat man is annoyed." You're fucking kidding! "Push the beggar away. Just as he was about to leave, the beggar ran to stop him and asked for money. The fat man was furious and pushed the beggar away. I don't know if the fat man pushed too hard or the little beggar did it on purpose. The little beggar tripped and fell into the river. The fat man was surprised and ran to the river with another beggar. But there are still little beggars there. The fat man and the little beggar on the shore panicked. After a while, I saw a beggar slowly floating up in the river.

& gt& gt The beggar on the shore immediately rushed forward, grabbed the fat man and refused to let go. He also cried loudly: "You lost my brother's life! You lost my brother's life! " The fat man panicked when he saw human life. Busy take out all the money on me and throw it to the beggar. Seeing so much money, the little beggar let go of the fat man and bent down to pick up the silver on the ground. More and more people are watching by the river. When the fat man saw that the little beggar no longer pestered him, he quickly took the opportunity to slip away.

& gt& gt All the people waiting to watch the fun have left, and the little beggar is whistling. I saw the beggar suddenly open his eyes, swam to the shore quickly, and happily counted the money left by the fat man with another little beggar. I heard the little beggar say, "Brother, you are really good. You came up with such a good idea. For a long time to come, we don't have to beg anymore, and we don't have to look at other people's faces to do things. " After dinner, he asked, "Hey, I almost forgot, brother, are you okay?" The old beggar smiled and said, "Just for a little while, what can I do?" . Don't forget, I can stay in the water for more than two hours! "

& gt all this was clearly seen by A Cheng, who was standing not far away. It turned out that Li Fugui looked at the bulletin board for several days, but no one came to the door. I can't help feeling a little anxious. I thought it over carefully and got some clues: he asked A Cheng to put up a notice in the city. Of course people in the city know, but people living in the country don't necessarily know. So he sent a man named Cheng out of town to see if he could find someone in need. Cheng has been out of town looking for many days, but there is still no news. So A Cheng almost jumped for joy when he heard the beggar say that he could hold his breath in the water for two hours. He hurried to the two children. Two children are counting the money left by the fat man. When they saw someone coming, they were busy putting away the money.

& gt Qindao: "Don't panic. I saw what you just did. It's really a good way to make money. If I tell the government, you are afraid that you will go to prison. " The two children panicked at once, and the younger beggar cried with fear.

& gt Acheng was afraid of scaring the two children, so what the master told him was ruined. Busy with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it. But you have to promise me one condition. " The two children were overjoyed and thought that as long as he didn't tell anyone about it. Hastily agreed. Chin said, "You have to promise to do something for me. Not only will I keep my mouth shut about what you just did, but my master will also give you 1200 pieces of silver. " Don't say that the two children have seen 1,200 pieces of silver, and they have never even heard of it several times. Immediately opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't close it. Cheng bought a suit for each of them. A Cheng knew that there were not many days left, and hurried back with two children.

& gt I was so anxious that I suddenly heard people say that Cheng has come back with good water. Li Fugui led his family out to meet him. Seeing that Cheng brought back only two children, there was an incredible expression on his face. I didn't believe it until Cheng told him what he had seen. Li Fugui quickly sent someone to take care of the two children. From the mouth of the two children, I learned that the two little beggars are brothers, surnamed Zhou. The big one is called three and the small one is called four. Just wait a few days and take them to Qiantang River.

& gt Li See Fu Gui, two children, treated them like this. At first, they were afraid of cheating, but then they thought about it privately. They felt that they were poor beggars and there was nothing to cheat, so they gradually adapted to the rich days when they were naked, stretched out their hands and covered their mouths.

& gt On the first day of February, Li Fugui felt that according to what michel platini had said before, it was time to prepare the ashes of our ancestors. So he went to the ancestral temple built for his ancestors, found a jar about the same size, carefully took some ashes and put them in the jar, then found a piece of oiled paper to cover the blanket and tied it with a rope. While doing all this, Li Fugui kept saying to himself: Ancestors, I have always admired you. You must bless my son to be admitted to the top prize!

& gt in the evening, Li Fugui came to the room with a jar. Since the two children moved into the Li family, they have never been to their home. Li Fugui came in the evening and knew something was wrong. Li Fugui sat down and said to the two children, "Go to bed early. You must get up early tomorrow morning. We have something to do. " Then he put down a jar: "There are ashes in it. Look at it if you want, but don't spill it. " It turned out that Li Fugui was afraid of his two children, so he missed his big event. Let them get used to it first. The two children were a little scared at first, but then they got used to it. A San A Si didn't know what Li Fugui was going to do, but he listened to him and went to bed early.

& gt The next morning, before dawn, a group of people left the Li family and came to the Qiantang River. There is no one around except Li Fugui and his party. Li Fugui looked around warily and told him what michel platini had told him. Then let a San dive. A San said, "Wait a minute, I'm waiting for A Si." Everyone noticed that Ah Si was missing. Li Fugui was a little alert at once: "Where is Ah Si? What about Ah Si? " Sam said, "I'm a little hungry. I sent a Si to buy a big cake. I have to wait underwater for an hour or two. " When Li Fugui heard this, he promised to wait a little longer. After a while, Zhou Asi came as expected, holding a big cake in his hand. Sam is going to get into the water at once.

& gt After Sam dived into the water, he began to look for dragons as Li Fugui said. After searching for a while, Sam found a big dragon sleeping at the bottom of the river. Sam thought I was playing in the water all day. Why didn't I find a dragon in the water? Will it only appear on the second day of February? Sam thought while holding a pie and a jar.

& gt

& gt People on the shore waited anxiously, especially Li Fugui, who kept walking up and down. I saw the water moving and Sam emerged from the water. Li Fugui asked loudly, "Did you put it away? Have you put it away? " A San said, "I have put the things away according to your request." A group of people can go home happily. Li Fugui, as he said before, gave the three brothers one thousand two hundred pieces of silver and sent them away.

Twenty years later, there was a champion by the Qiantang River. However, the champion's surname is not Li, but Zhou. The second name is Li and Li Ming. Zhou Asan is the only one who knows the reason.

& gt It turns out that Sam is young, but smart. On the first day, he thought all night, and finally figured out what Li Fugui had done. Although he doesn't quite understand some places, he knows that ashes must be the key. So before Li Fugui came, he woke Ah Si and asked Ah Si to find a way to get his parents' ashes out. Afraid that Li Fugui would find out, he didn't dare to change, but hid his family's ashes in a pie. At the appointed time, he dug a hole in the pie and hung it on the dragon horn. Then he put the Li family's ashes in the dragon's mouth. Because the ashes of the Li family are lower than those of the Zhou family, Li can only rank second. This is still because Sam thought that Li Fugui was not so bad, and left him the second place.
