Translation, the original text of the work of the virtuous mother

Nie Yidao was an official in a county town on the right side of the river. One day, a villager went out to sell vegetables in the morning and found 15 ingots on the way. When I got home, I gave it to my mother.

His mother was angry and said, "Didn't you steal it and deceive me?" Even if it's lost, it's just three or two, **What about a bunch?

What's more, our family has never encountered such a thing. Disaster is coming soon! Go and return it to the owner immediately, and don't bother us!"

The son pretended not to hear,) and his mother repeated what she had just said, but her son still did not listen. My mother said, "If that's the case, I'll definitely go and tell the government."

The son said, "To whom will you give back the things you have found?" Mother said:

As long as you wait in the place where you found something, there will definitely be a lost owner looking for it. The son then followed his mother's instructions and took the lost property with him. After a while, I saw someone looking for money.

The villager was so simple and straightforward that he returned the money to the man without asking him how much money he had lost. The onlookers on the side asked the man to give some money to the villagers as a reward, but the owner said: I used to be 30 ingots, but now I only have half of them, how can I reward him?

So they quarreled, and finally they quarreled with the yamen. Nie Yidao asked the villagers carefully, and his words were credible. His mother's interrogation was secretly heard, and the testimony was consistent, so they told each of them that the owner had indeed lost thirty ingots, and that the one who had found them had indeed found fifteen.

After the two of them signed the paperwork, Nie Yidao told the owner: This is not your lost banknote, it must be a gift from God to this virtuous mother for the elderly. If someone picks up thirty ingots, it's your bill.

Look elsewhere. So he gave the money to the mother and son, and everyone who heard it clapped their hands.

Liu Guanren, a resident of Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty, was killed at night, and the fifteen yuan he had just raised was gone. That night, his concubine Chen's second sister fled home. The next day, Second Sister Chen was recovered halfway, and on Cui Ning, a descendant who was traveling with her, she just found fifteen yuan of money.

The judgment ** thought that "everyone had obtained all the stolen goods", but he refused to scrutinize some logical doubts, and the result was "under the beating, why not ask for it"; Second Sister Chen and Cui Ning confessed to trumped-up charges against their will, and were both executed. And the real ** "King of Jingshan" is at large.

Day: When I was young, I didn't have to walk with my feet, I traveled thousands of miles a day, sat in heaven and earth with a few old men (equivalent to taking a plane), and I wanted to travel all over Kyushu with them from Xianyang, about 10,000 miles a day! Through the foggy sky, the eye sky, the cloudy day, and through the clouds, and black clouds, and then slid down the mountain (obviously sitting on ***), and then at night those people use stones to change light, and can be broken, a grain of millet can be very bright (electric copper), and used to cook food and eat!

Obviously it's a light bomb, a burn bomb) They were happy to give me stones, and they also threw water to show me the function. They don't know where to go far, the people of the next generation have expanded and cast the big tripod, I saw that they had a fire and went to see, the tripod has been cast! Then there was movement in Jizhou, and they immediately started the machine, like a bird saying that they would fly, and Emperor Qin sighed

, these people are gods!! Then he clapped his hands and took notes: Have you registered their ID cards?

Summarizing and analyzing, they came from Wanqu (far away) with a machine flying into the water, to collect samples for experiments, proficient in language and deliberately did not leave an identity to show the intention, high ten zhang is to indicate the contact distance, the author can only express the appearance roughly: like a bird's head flower clothes like feathers (it is very clear that it is a gas mask and camouflage clothing, just a set of military uniform equipment) Who crossed and did not register with an ID card?

The gist of it is as follows.

In ancient times, there was a place called Wanqu, and the people there were ten zhang tall. They weave their clothes out of the feathers of birds and beasts. Once, one of them came on a conch-shaped boat to see Qin Shi Huang.

This kind of boat is called a wave boat and can sink to the bottom of the sea to sail without water. Qin Shi Huang had a long talk with him. When it comes to the events of Pangu's opening of the sky, this person talks eloquently, just like he has seen with his own eyes.

He said: When I was young, I used to travel thousands of miles in the sky. When you sit in old age, you can see things beyond heaven and earth.

My country is still ninety thousand miles away from the place where the sunset is seen in the salty pond, where ten thousand years are taken as a day. Usually it is cloudy with fog, but when it is sunny, the clouds in the sky seem to crack, and the light is as bright as the Yangtze River and the Han River. At this time, there will be blue-black dragons and phoenixes flying down.

At night, use a burning stone instead of daylight. This kind of stone is produced on the burning mountain, and its earth and stone can emit bright light, and when struck, it will shatter, and the shape is like millet, and a small particle can illuminate a room. In the early years, Emperor Yan changed the situation of people eating raw food, and he used this kind of fire.

Now I will dedicate you a stone of one kind. Some people throw this kind of stone into the stream and stream, and the boiling bubbles will flow out for dozens of miles, and this water is called Jiao Yuan.

My country is 100,000 miles away from Xuanyuan's tomb (mountain). At the beginning, the Yellow Emperor, the descendant of Shaodian, mined copper in Shoushan and cast tripods in Jingshan. I saw that there was a surge of gold and fire in them, and I ran to see that the tripod had been cast.

I also found that there was a strange aura in Jizhou, and it was estimated that a saint should have been born, and sure enough, Yao was born. I once saw the red clouds flying into the pickaxe, and ran over to check, it turned out to be the symbol of the rune Rui of Danque Ruichang.

Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but say: This is really a man of God! 」

Nie Yidao slaughtered the right side of the river. On the day, some villagers sold vegetables early, and found fifteen yuan bills, which were returned to their mothers. The mother said angrily:

Do you have to cheat me instead of stealing? Even if it is lost, it is only three or two ears, and it is better to have a bunch of reason? Besides, my family has not experienced this, and it will be a disaster.

It can be returned quickly, and I don't have to worry about it. "In other words, Zifu followed. Mother said:

It will be so, and I will sue the judge. Zi said: "Who will return the things found?"

The mother said: "But if you wait in the original place, there will be a loss of the owner." The son took it with him.

Suddenly, I saw the money seeker. The people of the village were simple, and they didn't even ask for it, so they paid it back. The people who watched were all ordered to take the reward as a reward, and the lost owner Jin said:

I'm thirty, only half, and I'll be rewarded? "There was a lot of fighting. Hold each other to the next office.

Nie Tui asked the villagers, and his words were true. He also secretly called his mother to judge him, and he was so that the two of them had thirty ingots for each of them, and fifteen ingots for those who gained. After the official complaint, it was said that the owner was lost

This is not your money, it will be given by God to the virtuous mother to support the elderly. If there are thirty ingots, then you will also have money. But don't look for it.

Then the mother and son were paid, and those who heard it were happy.

Excerpt from Tao Zongyi's "Nancun Dropout Record").

Xiqi people have people who want gold, and Qingdan is well-dressed. The place of those who are suitable for gold is gone because of the gold grabbing (jué). The officials caught it.

The official asked: "Everyone is here, what is the money of the son?" Yes

When you take the gold, you don't see anyone, but you don't see the golden ears. ”

TranslationOnce upon a time, there was a man in the Kingdom of Qi who wanted gold, and early in the morning, he got dressed and put on his hat and went to the market. He went to the place where the ** gold man lived, took the opportunity to take the gold and left, and the messenger arrested him, and the official interrogated him: "Everyone is there, why do you still take the gold?"

Pick up gold or money that someone else has left behind.

Nie Yidao: The name of the person Zai: the governor of a certain city, here used as a verb, to be the chief of a certain city.

靳 (jìn): 吝惜 俾 (bǐ): to make again:

The second time An: How can I be: Wait: Stopped.

"The Virtuous Mother's Words and Picking Up the Lost Money" is a literary essay written by Tao Zongyi, which is included in the "Nancun Dropout Record". It mainly tells about not being greedy for money, justice and not favoritism, and attaching importance to the cultivation of children's qualities.

Translation: After Xi Shichen Songmei was appointed to the silver judgment, all of them were abolished, and he took out the money to buy Paibo Zheng goods and supply them himself.
