Ming dynasty? Song Lian

Du Huan, whose ancestors were from Luling, went to Jiangdong as an official with his father Du Yiyuan, so he settled in Jinling. Du Yiyuan is a good man, and the people he contacts are celebrities from all over the world. Du Huan is particularly studious and good at calligraphy; I am honest, trustworthy and like to help people in trouble.

Chang Yungong, a friend of Du Huan's father and a minister of war, died in Jiujiang, and his family was ruined. Chang's mother, Zhang, is over 60 years old, crying at the gates of Jiujiang and homeless. Someone who knew Chang Yungong pitied Chang's old mother and told her, "Isn't Tan Jingxian, an Anqing magistrate, a friend of Chang Yungong now?"

Why don't you take refuge? He will never abandon you when he sees your old relationship with Chang Yungong. "Often mother do as the man said, take a boat to see Tan Jingxian, Tan politely declined, refused to accept. Changmu is very embarrassed. Chang Mu thought that Yungong had worked as an official in Jinling, where there might still be relatives and friends alive, and there was still one in ten thousand hope, so she went to Jinling again with people crying.

I inquired, and one or two people were missing, so I asked where Du Yiyuan's home was and asked, "How is Du Yiyuan now?" Everyone on the road replied to her: "Du Yiyuan has long since died, and only his son Du Huan is still alive; His home is in Luzhou Square, and there are two orange trees at the door. "

Chang Mu, dressed in rags, walked to Du Huan's house in the rain. Du Huan sat opposite the guest. When she saw Chang Mu, she was greatly surprised and seemed to have met there. So I asked her, "aren't you Mrs. Chang?" Why did you come here? "Often mother cried and told Du Huan the reason, Du Huan also cried. Du Huan helped Chang Mu sit down and bowed to her.

Then ask his wife to come out to see her. Huan's wife, Ma Shi, took off her clothes and asked Chang Mu to change her into wet clothes. She held porridge for her mother to eat, and took out a quilt to let her sleep. Chang Mu asked her old friend Yungong, who is close to her life and has a deep friendship, and also asked her where her youngest son often lived. Du Huan knows that Chang Yungong's old friends are not here.

I can't entrust this matter to them, and I don't know whether it is always dead or alive. We comforted her and said, "It's raining now. When the rain stops, I'll find him for your old man! " If there is really no staff to serve your family, can't I serve your family, even though Du Huan is poor?

Besides, my late father and Yungong were brothers. Now your old man is poor and you can't go to other people's homes, so I came to Du Huan's house. This is really the guidance of two old people! I wish your father would stop thinking about it. "At that time, it was the years after the war and famine, and the people even saved their own flesh and blood.

Seeing that Du Huan's family was poor, Chang Mu decided to go out and look for other old friends of Chang Yungong after the rain stopped. Du Huan asked the maid to follow her. In the evening, the long horse didn't find a friend and came back. It is often the mother who has settled down. Du Huan bought some cloth and asked his wife to sew clothes for Changmu. From Du Huan down, Du Huan's family treated Chang Mu as their mother.

Zhang Mu is irritable and narrow-minded. As long as she doesn't like her mind a little, she often gets angry and calls names. Du Huan privately warned his family to obey his mother as much as possible, and not to despise, be arrogant or argue with her just because her mother is poor. (long wood) suffering from phlegm disease. Du Huan personally cooked herbs for her and fed her a spoonful. Because of their mother, Du Huan's family dare not speak loudly.

Ten years later, Du Huan took the post of Tai Changlang and was ordered to visit Huiji Mountain. Du Huan returned to Jiaxing and happened to meet Chang's mother's youngest son Chang. He cried and said to him, "Madam is at my house. She is ill because she misses you day and night. You really should go to see her old man's house earlier! " "

Chang Jaco seemed to turn a deaf ear and only said, "I know about it, too, but I can't go anywhere because it's a long way." Just half a year after Du Huan came home, he often came. It happened to be Du Huan's birthday. When the old mother saw her little son, they hugged each other and wept bitterly. Du Huan's family thought it was unlucky and went to dissuade him.

Du Huan said: "This is human nature. What is bad luck? " Later, I often saw his mother was old and worried that she could not travel far. He even lied to her about something else and left, and never came back to see her again. Du Huan served Chang Mu more carefully. However, Chang Mu missed her youngest son, Bo Zhang, and her condition suddenly deteriorated. She died three years later.

When Chang Mu was dying, she raised her hand and said to Du Huan, "I am dragging you down! I'm dragging you down! I hope your children and grandchildren will be as good as you in the future. " Then he died. Du Huan prepared a coffin for her, held a funeral, bought a piece of land for her burial in Zhongjiashan, south of the city, and went there to visit the grave on holidays.

Du Huan later served as the clerk of Jin, who was very famous and had a friendship with me.

Historians say: "It's really difficult to associate with friends! Once upon a time, Zhai Gong of the Han Dynasty said,' Only when you are dead can you see the true friendship of your friends!' What he said is not excessive, just because of realistic human feelings! When people are congenial, they often take their own lives as a guarantee, as if nothing is difficult in the world.

But when the situation changes and the situation is embarrassing, it is impossible to practice your promise and leave each other. Too many! What's more, how can we support our loved ones after a friend dies? I have observed Du Huan's deeds, and even the loyal and righteous martyrs praised in ancient times can't compare with him. Secular people often say that modern people are not as good as the ancients. Isn't this also a grievance? "

Original text:

Du Huan, uncle Xun. First of all, he was a native of Luling, who served his father for one yuan, traveled around Jiangdong and then moved to Jinling. I am anxious because I am friendly, hardworking and promising.

Chang Yungong, the head of the Ministry of War of my father's friend, died in Jiujiang, and his family was ruined. His mother, Zhang, who is over sixty years old, cried at the gates of Jiujiang and did not return. A man of insight, a respectful man, pitied him in his later years and told him, "Isn't it respectful and friendly to guard Tan Jingxian in Anqing today?" Will I rely on it? "Said the mother, while attached to Tan Yi's boat. Tan Xie refused, and her mother was upset. She went to Jinling from Renren and asked, "Is one yuan safe today? "The Taoist priest said to him," One yuan has been dead for a long time, and his son is still alive, and his home is in Zhiluzhou Square. "

Mother was in rags and went to Jia Huan in the rain. Huanfang sat opposite the guest and was surprised to see her mother. He asked, "Is mom a lady? What is this? " Mother cried and told her story. Huan also cried, helped him to his seat, bowed, and asked his wife to come out to worship. His wife, Ma Shi, undressed her mother, wetted her clothes, fed her and hugged her. Mother asked her dear old friend and her little son Bo Zhang.

Knowing that his old friend was not there, he didn't pay enough money, and he didn't know whether Bo Zhang was alive or dead. Gu comforted him and said, "It's raining in the Arabian sky. Show it to my mother when the rain stops. If there is no mother, though Huan-erh is poor, can't she serve her alone? May mother have no distractions. " Seeing that the family was poor and the rain had stopped, mother decided to ask her old friend. Huan ordered his daughter to do what she did. At dusk, if nothing happens, you will come back and sit still.

Buy cloth and silk everywhere and let your wife make clothes. From the ring down, everything is centered on the mother. Ten years later, Huan met his son's uncle in a strange place and cried, "Mrs. Huan is at home, caring about her children day and night, so she must go to see him early." If Bo Zhang didn't hear anything, he said, "I know, but there is still a long way to go." Huan is half a year old and is coming. When the mother saw her baby, she wept at each other.

Seeing that his mother was old, Bo Zhang was afraid that he couldn't do it, but he resigned with other things and ignored it. Really serve my mother. However, the more my mother reads Bo Zhang's books, the more serious her illness becomes. He died three years later. Funeral with a coffin, buy land and bury it in Zhongjiashan, south of the city. /kloc-When I was 0/8 years old, I often paid homage to its tomb cloud.

Historians say: it is difficult to make friends! When people love each other, if it is not difficult, they will not keep their promises, but many people can support their loved ones even if they die. Although Du Huan's affair was called Yilie in ancient times, it is always said that today's people can't catch up with the ancients, which is also a false accusation of the world.

Literary appreciation:

There are two points in the writing of this short biography that deserve readers' attention.

First, for Du Huan's life and his performance in other aspects, he explained the past in a few short sentences, leaving most of the space to highlight the matter of taking in and supporting Zhang, so as to summarize Du Huan's character.

Second, Tan Jingxian turned a blind eye to her old mother, who was already on the poor road, and spoke indifferently. I often turn a blind eye to my biological mother who has lived in a foreign land for a long time, and then abandon her after meeting her. The images of these two people are in sharp contrast with Du Huan, which further illustrates the value of Du Huan's personality.

One rainy day, Du Huan was sitting at home, when suddenly an old woman came in from the outside, soaked to the skin, like a drowned rat. Du Huan looked at it carefully and was surprised. He asked, "Is mom Mrs. Zhang? Why is she here? " Take his wife's clothes and let the old mother change them at once, and help the old man sit in the chair.

My mother sobbed and told me, "My son (Chang Yungong) died of illness six months ago, and my wife has never given birth. The house has been swept recently, and I don't know where it went. Now I'm the only one left. " Hearing this, Du Huan couldn't help crying. He immediately knelt at his mother's feet and cried, "My father and your son were brothers. If his father were still alive, he would take you as his mother. If his father is not here, I will treat you as my grandmother! "

Since then, Chang Mu has been living in Du Jia. Du looked around like an old woman and told his family not to let the old man suffer any injustice. My mother is used to the life of an official, and her temperament is extreme. She loses her temper when she is slightly unhappy. Du Huan is always passive to Nuo Nuo, Nuo Nuo, and follows the old man anyway. Later, Chang's mother fell ill, and Du Huan's relatives fed medicine and cooked soup, and waited around the clock.

After the old man died, Du Huan dressed herself in linen and Dai Xiao, and acted in full accordance with the etiquette of "Grandma Du". There is an old man's coffin in the home, and he has to sweep the grave every year, never stopping. Everyone calls it "the man of righteousness".
