When he came back, he saw two huge candles burning high on the sacrificial table and blew them out. And to the fourth son sitting around, he said, "you are not Xiaozi. You are not sad to see the candle burning in vain. It's strange that you will be in charge of your family in the future Since his father was an official, he lacked discipline and developed the habit of extravagant and pedantic dandy. Since his father resigned and went home to run the house industriously and frugally, his son had complained a long time ago and said back, "if you have power and power, you don't accumulate money, but if you don't have power, you regret this candle.

Drought relief for the people

One year, there was a severe drought, a few friends did not rain, farmland cracked, seedlings withered. In Longpu Township, Lin Song, who had been an official in the imperial court, retired and returned home in his old age, took advantage of the danger of others and occupied the water source of Liuxi shared by several villages in Quxi township.

The villagers in Gangwei village, Quxi Township were very worried when they saw that all the water in the stream was occupied by the forest and pine trees, and hundreds of mu of seedlings were suffering from drought. After deliberation, they prepared a gift for Wu Jiqiao to ask Lin song to water the field.

Wu Jiqiao also worked as an official abroad, and now he resigns at home. As soon as he learned about Lin Song's water control, he was very angry. He said to all the villagers, "it's on me. As for the gift, please take it back."

This day, Songsong suddenly heard from his family that Wu Jiqiao was visiting. He knew that he was here to release water. He hated him and said, "you Wu Jiqiao think highly of yourself. Today, you also ask for my door!" Just then, Wu Jiqiao came in with empty hands and square steps. Lin song was infuriated and scolded: "I don't take any affection and courtesy. I'm so arrogant!" But you don't have to leave your seat and get up.

Wu Jiqiao came to the point and told him about irrigation. As soon as Lin Song heard this, he was just about to open his mouth. Wu Jiqiao said, "Lord Lin is very noble in the court. He is loyal to the monarch and loves his people. His reputation is well known. Such as today's drought, the hearts of the villagers like fried. Disaster relief is like putting out a fire. I don't think adults will give up their lives and dominate the stream! " These words made Lin Song speechless, so he said with a smile: "I'm flattered! I've heard that Lord Wu loves people like children. It's better to meet him than to be famous. Admiration! Admiration! Just because you've been a seven grade official and a middle grade official, how dare I disobey my orders! You can send someone to dig a big hoe on the dam to release water

After hearing this, Wu Jiqiao left happily and returned. Back in the village, after hearing Lin Song's words, the villagers were very angry at first, but after Wu Jiqiao stood in such a row, they turned worried into happy.

The next morning, Lin Song heard a report from his servant that the dam had been broken nearly half a foot wide and all the rice fields in Gangwei village had been irrigated. When Lin Song heard this, he got up and took a group of his followers to Gangwei village.

Wu Jiqiao had been prepared for a long time. As soon as he heard that Lin song had entered the village, he and several villagers came forward to greet him. Lin Song questioned why Wu Jiqiao didn't keep his promise. Wu Jiqiao said with a smile: "this is the promise of Dayao: how can I say that I don't keep my promise?"

Lin Song annoyed: "I only allow you to dig a hoe gap, why did you send someone to open nearly half a Zhang wide?" Wu Jiqiao said: "I only have to measure the length with the handle of a hoe, but I have never heard of measuring with the hoe. What is the origin of measuring with the hoe? Please give me more advice. "

Lin song was tongue tied and had nothing to say, so he had to go back bitterly.
