After more than a year like this, Ali Sa firmly followed his father's teachings before he died, and went to the store step by step every day as his father hoped, and devoted himself to business.He never socialized and lived an ascetic life.But the good times didn't last long. As time went by, those idle and idle youths in the vicinity coveted Ali Sa's money, so they tried every means to get close to him in an attempt to gain benefits from him. Ali Sa has been doing business for more than a year, and his experience, knowledge, and experiences are getting richer day by day.He gradually put his father's last words behind him, and began to take those earnest instructions seriously.So, he got together with a bunch of bad guys, and under their lure, he went to pubs and tea shops all day long. Gambling and drinking have become commonplace for him.At this time, Ali Sa's behavior was completely different from that when his father had just died. He also said shamelessly: "I am still very young. If I don't take advantage of the good time to enjoy the large amount of property left by my father, when Come and enjoy? Know that the poet said it well:

Pick the flowers when they are in full bloom, Otherwise, you can only sigh at the dead branches. Yes, it is time for me to enjoy my property and money, as the poet sings. " So Ali Sa lived a life of spending money and spending money with those gangs of friends day and night.Before long, this depraved life of eating, drinking, and merrymaking cost him a lot of money.The financial constraints did not make Ali Sa vigilant. On the contrary, he intensified his efforts, pawning or selling all the houses and shops left by his father, and exchanged them for money for himself and his drinking and meat friends to spend extravagantly.

Ali Sa's family business gradually declined.Finally one day, he found that he was penniless, and only one set of clothes was left which belonged to him.At this time, he finally woke up like a dream.Thinking about what he did in the previous period, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and remorseful.From then on, his life was difficult, and he didn't know where to eat the next meal every day.One day, Ali Sa didn't eat a bite of food from morning to night, and felt very hungry, so he planned to go to those friends who had used his money to chase, laugh, eat, drink and have fun, hoping that those people would invite him Take a casual meal.

So, full of hope, Ali Sa hurried to find those wine and meat friends who had been close to each other.He walked all over the city, and was rejected by every friend. No one answered him, and everyone avoided him.After running around for half a day, Ali Sa still didn't have a bite of food and was still hungry.At this time, Ali Sa felt the warmth and coldness of the world for the first time, and he couldn't help feeling discouraged and resentful.In desperation, he suppressed his hunger, dragged his tired legs, and walked back step by step.Unknowingly came to the market, he saw a large group of people gathered together, bustling, very lively.Seeing this situation, Ali Sa felt very strange. He thought: "What happened? Why are there so many people crowded together? I swear to Allah, I must go and see what is going on?" "

He squeezed desperately into the middle of the crowd, and when he looked inside, it turned out that a beautiful girl was brought to the market to be sold.This young girl has a rosy complexion, a slim figure, and a beautiful face. She can be called a rare beauty in the world.A poem in praise of beauty is written like the girl herself: She stands the scrutiny of the most critical eye, The body is light and moderate, and the waist is graceful. Her beautiful figure is intriguing, It also makes women jealous and resentful. Her face was as bright as the full moon, The soft body is like a flower branch swaying in the wind.

Her flesh exudes a musky fragrance, All the flowers in the world cannot compete with her. Her figure is unmatched, Every minute and every inch is a bright moon, eye-catching. Seeing the girl's outstanding appearance, Ali Sa admired her infinitely, and secretly said: "I swear to Allah! I will wait here to see who will buy her." At the same time, he also wanted to know in his heart, such a girl How much is it worth. So he huddled among the crowd and waited.Those businessmen knew that Ali Sa's father was a wealthy businessman, so they thought he was also in the market to do business.

When there were more and more people around, an agent slowly walked up to the girl, pointed at her and shouted loudly: "Masters of wealth! My friends! This girl's name is Zu Bailu. She looks like a piece of flawless jade, and she is truly a priceless treasure. Even if she is placed among the beauties, she is nothing but a star. She is a real beauty in a man's heart. Let's sell now. Which lord is willing to make an offer first? It doesn't matter whether the price is high or low. My lords, our business is fair and free. No one will complain about the first bid Yes. Please make an offer now!"

"I'll offer five hundred gold coins." Before the manager could finish speaking, a man with the appearance of a businessman made an offer first. "Five hundred and ten dollars." Another merchant raised the price by ten dollars. "Six hundred!" An old man named Rashton added ninety.He was small and wizened, with blue eyes bulging like toads. "Six hundred and ten yuan." The price is still increasing. "A thousand dollars!" cried Rashton.The old man intended to make the other businessmen flinch.Sure enough, the price of 1,000 yuan stopped everyone, and no one continued to offer a higher price.

The price had obviously reached the highest price, and the auction stopped. The broker went up to the girl's master and asked if he would sell the girl for a thousand ducats.The girl's master said: "At the beginning, I made an oath that when I wanted to sell her, I would ask her to agree to whom and how. Now that I have made a promise, please ask her for me to see if she is willing." .” So the agent came over and said to Zu Bailu: "Beautiful girl, this old man is willing to buy you with a thousand gold coins, are you willing to go with him?" Zu Bailu hated Rashton's ugly face and wretched behavior, and even more disgusted with his pair of blue eyes staring at her, so she categorically refused: "This old man has white hair and is as old as rotten wood. Wouldn't want to be sold to an old guy like him. A poet once sang such a song that even Allah rewarded his verse:

That day I begged hard, hoping to get her kiss, Although I am young, I have money and power. She flatly refused my request: 'No, swear to Allah, I will never say yes. ' well!My beard and hair are white, lost in love's favor, Could it be that I have no right to enjoy the beauty of life! " After hearing Zubailu's heartfelt words, the manager sympathized with her and understood her situation, saying: "Allah testifies, people should really sympathize with and understand your difficulties. To be honest, this mere thousand yuan can't buy you Your worth, even ten thousand yuan is not an exaggeration." He came to the owner of Zu Bailu again, and told him why Zu Bailu didn't want to be with the old man.After hearing this, the master ordered:

"Since this is the case, you can discuss it with her and find another buyer." Rashton's attempt to keep the emerald for himself was thwarted.Because of her reluctance, the deal did not go through.At this time, another businessman walked up to the agent and said, "At the price just now, I will buy her for 1,000 yuan. May I ask her opinion, is she willing to sell herself to me?" Zu Bailu gave this person a cold look, and couldn't help but be taken aback.It turned out that this man had dyed his pale beard with ink, trying to look like a vigorous young man.Zubailu hated this sanctimonious and despicable guy very much, so she sang loudly: "A grotesque fellow came to me, His neck was hard enough to be beaten with the sole of a shoe. Unkempt as gnats nest in his face, The protruding forehead can be used as a wooden peg for tying animals. This devil is infatuated with my beauty and figure, Sneakily dyed his white hair black, Shamelessly trying to deceive me. He changes his beard and hair in black and white at any time, Like a clown who makes people laugh under the magician's stick. " At this point, she sighed: "The poet's exposure of this kind of person really hits the nail on the head: She said: 'You can't hide your black hair. ' I replied: 'Just so you don't notice. ' She said: 'This is too funny, ridiculous, You're used to cheating and cajoling, Even the hair looks furtive. '" The manager felt that what Zu Bailu said was right: "Allah testifies, I completely agree with you." The buyer was dumbfounded and asked, "What did she say?" The agent repeated Zu Bailu's words and explained.The old man with the black hair shrank back to one side ashamed of himself.Immediately another guy offered to buy the emerald for a thousand gold coins.The agent came over to seek Zu Bailu's opinion. Zu Bailu looked back and saw that the man was blind in one eye, and couldn't help feeling disappointed, and said: "The poet once described a person with only one eye in this way: It should be known that Cyclops is best at stealing, rape and trickery. Remember to stay away from this guy. If the one-eyed dragon has any integrity, And Allah will not let him lose his eyes either. " Zu Bailu didn't like the one-eyed man, so she decided not to sell herself to him.The agent looked at a short man with a beard hanging down to his waist in the crowd and said, "Girl, are you willing to make a deal with this gentleman?" Seeing that this man was ugly and short, Zu Bailu was very displeased, and said contemptuously: "This man is both short and ugly, there is a poem that really suits him: There is a friend with a beard on his face, The description is annoying, the behavior is annoying, Like a cold winter night, Long, dark, eerie. " After hearing Zu Bailu's words, the agent knew that she didn't take this man seriously, and the deal fell through again.The manager was very embarrassed, and felt that it was not easy to make Zu Bailu happy, so he sincerely said to her: "Girl, there are a lot of businessmen here, you should find a satisfactory person for yourself. Who do you like? Just tell me, and I'll help you talk to him." Zu Bailu raised her head and looked around the crowd. Among this group of people, she hardly had a few people in her eyes.At this time, her eyes fell on Ali Sa, and she found that he was a handsome young man with good looks, and she couldn't help falling in love with him.She turned to her agent and said frankly: "This handsome young man has curly black hair, a radiant complexion, and an extraordinary bearing. He is the object of poets' chanting and the prince in the hearts of passionate women. His Sweet words will definitely make a woman fascinated. There is a poem that praises it like this: Your beautiful face is exposed to people, Those who fall for you will inevitably be criticized. Your unrestrained charm moved me, It makes my heart feel like a tide and it is difficult to calm down. Your breath is sweet as musk, refreshing, Your sweetness is as intoxicating as wine. The gods had to drive you out of Paradise, Because fairies will be swooning over you too. Your arrogance makes you stand out from the crowd, Because Haoyue is also more radiant because of being high in the sky. He made a promise to me, sweet as an antelope, I am anxiously waiting for the day when the promise will be fulfilled. His brow reveals the truth, But how can he keep his promise? People say: 'How do you fall in love with a wrinkled face? ' I would say: 'You ignorant people, stop talking nonsense. The wrinkles on his face are nothing more than to conceal his youth, Kissing him is like stepping into paradise, The fluid flowing from his lips was as sweet as fairy river water. ' To be honest, I would sell myself to him. " Zubailu finally said this. After listening to ZLB's words of praise to Ali Sa, the agent noticed the elation expressed in her words, and thought that this transaction would be a success, so he was also very happy.So she quickly persuaded her master to make the deal.He praised Zu Bailu's cleverness, and was very surprised at her knowledge of books and etiquette. "She is very clever and obedient, and she can recite many poems. This is just one of her specialties. Don't be surprised." Zubailu's owner also began to praise him, "She also knows the seven ways of reading, She can write with seven kinds of calligraphy, has a deep knowledge of the Hadith, knows the names of all the narrators in history, and knows many crafts. She is good at making embroidered silk curtains, and can weave one in eight days. Fifty gold coins can be sold in the market! Her slender hands are worth more than gold!" "It's really versatile! Whoever wants to get her will definitely get happiness." The manager praised. "It is for this reason that I allow her to choose a new master herself. You go and talk to the one she has in mind." The manager followed the instructions, squeezed up to Ali Sa, kissed his hand passionately, and said: "Among so many rich people, she only takes a fancy to you, and hopes that you can be her new owner. Buy her." Then he praised Ali Sa's emerald talent and intelligence, saying: "It is really a blessing from Allah. Buy such a girl and she will bring How happy you are! I want to congratulate you." Although the manager's rhetoric is very sweet, Ali Sa can't even support herself, so how can I get a thousand gold coins to buy this girl?He felt ashamed in his heart, but for the sake of face, he didn't want others to know his situation.So, he had no choice but to pretend to be unmoved, noncommittal to what the agent said. Seeing that Zubailu Ali Sa was calm and silent, she couldn't help becoming anxious.She couldn't wait to say to her agent: "Hand me over, please. I want him to have a good look at me. Let me persuade him to buy me. I don't want to fall into the hands of anyone but him." The manager took Zu Bailu's hand and walked up to Ali Sa, and asked him again, but Ali Sa remained silent.Zubailu didn't hesitate anymore, and said directly to Ali Sa: "My lovely person, why don't you buy me? As long as you are willing to put up some money, the deal will be done.I will definitely let you live a happy life. " Ali Sa looked directly into Zubailu's eyes and said, "Now your price is a thousand gold coins, why do you insist on me paying such a high price to buy you?" "Then you can offer nine hundred dollars." "No!" Ali Sa said emphatically. "What about eight hundred yuan?" "It still doesn't work." Ali Sa still refused. Zubailu was determined to let Ali Sa buy herself, so she kept reducing the price, but Ali Sa remained indifferent.Finally she said, "Then you can buy me for a hundred gold pieces." "But I don't have a hundred gold pieces." Zu Bailu couldn't help smiling, and asked, "How many do you have?" "I swear to Allah, my luck is not good at the moment, let alone a hundred gold coins, I can't afford less. To be honest, I am now penniless, not to mention gold coins and silver coins, I don't even have a dime. You should open yourself to the Internet and find another buyer." Seeing Ali Sa's pitiful and distressed look, Zu Bailu knew that he really had no money.So he said: "Well, then, you follow me to a secluded place where there is no one, and I will give you an idea." According to her words, Ali Sai came to the side of the road with her.Taking advantage of no one's attention, Zu Bailu hurriedly took out a money bag from his pocket, handed it to Ali Sa, and said, "Here is a thousand gold coins. You pay the broker nine hundred as my ransom, and the rest The next one hundred yuan is temporarily stored with you. It will be needed in future life." As she said, Ali Sa gave nine hundred yuan to the agent, bought the emerald, and took her back home. Zu Bailu found a customer she was satisfied with, and happily followed Ali Sa back home.I saw the four walls of the house in a dilapidated appearance, with no furniture or anything.She had to take out another thousand dollars to Ali Sa, and said: "Go to the market, buy a decent set of furniture with three hundred gold coins, and buy something to eat with three gold coins, and give me another Buy a piece of silk cloth the size of a curtain, some gold thread, silver thread, and colorful silk thread for embroidery. I use these things to embroider door curtains and sell them." Ali Sa came to the market, bought a set of furniture according to Zu Bailu's order, had a simple meal, and returned home with silk thread and silk cloth.Zubailu cheered up and arranged the living room properly, then lit candles and sat down to chat with Ali Sa.In this way, the two of them began to live a married life that was like glue and like each other.They share joys and sorrows, share adversity, and feel content every day.The poet admired the combination and happy life of the two of them, and sang: Do cherish your life partner, Pay no heed to the slander of the envious.
