Chapter 107 The Story of the Cobbler Myrruf-2

While accusing Meerruf, the merchants also praised him for his kindness and generosity, but they didn't know that the king was a miser who loved money as much as his life and was more greedy than ordinary people.Hearing the compliments from the merchants and admiring Meerruf's generous demeanor of donating money, he became selfish and eager for profit, and invisibly regarded him as a good target for greed. He would never be generous if he didn't have a lot of money. His load will definitely arrive, and the merchants will surround him, and his money will fall into their hands in large quantities. In fact, I should be more responsible than they are. Enjoy his wealth, so I intend to know him and deal with him, so that when his load comes, I can get into my own hands the great money that the merchants can get, and keep it to myself. This huge sum of money."

"But I think he may not be a good person. I always feel that he is a liar. This kind of bluff can deceive others, but don't try to deceive me." The prime minister expressed his views on Meerruf. "I want to test him to see if he is a liar or a gentleman." "Then what method does the Lord intend to use to test him?" "I only need to call him into the palace, first show him my respect, and then show him my precious gem. If he knows the treasure and can tell its value, he can prove that he is a connoisseur and a rich man." If he doesn't know the treasure and the market, it will prove that he is a liar, and it will not be too late to kill him at that time."

After learning of the king's summoning, Meerruf immediately came to the palace and greeted the king respectfully and carefully.The king let him sit in front of him, and asked him humbly, "Are you the world-famous rich merchant Mayruf?" "Yes, the villain is Meyerruf." "I heard that you owe the merchants 60,000 gold coins. Is this true?" "Yes, it's all true." "Then why don't you pay off your debt?" "I have told them to be patient for a while, and I will pay them double when my load arrives. Then they ask for gold, and I give them gold; they ask for silver, and I give them silver; they ask for Goods, I will give them goods. Anyway, I have a lot of money and goods, and I can get what I want. Since their loans have given me great convenience, they extended a helping hand when I was in trouble, and gave me great help. I am grateful for their help, and in order to repay their friendship, I am going to double the repayment of the loan. If I owe a thousand gold coins, I will pay back two thousand gold coins."

Hearing Meerruf's answer, the king didn't feel any suspiciousness, so he handed him his very beloved, unique and precious gemstone as big as a hazelnut, and said, "My lord, look What is this? How much is it worth?" Meyerruf took the gemstone, pinched it between his thumb and ring finger for a closer look, then squeezed hard in secret, breaking the fragile and precious gemstone all at once. The king was very surprised and asked, "Why did you break my precious gem?" Meerruf sneered a few times, and replied indifferently: "My lord, this is not a precious gem, but an ordinary ore with almost no value. Why does Your Majesty call it a precious gem? Then again, if it is really Gemstones, then its value is at least 70,000 gold coins. Doesn’t Your Majesty know that gemstones as big as hazelnuts don’t exist at all. This worthless thing is despised by most people. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Is a piece of ore considered as a precious gemstone worth thousands of gold? But this is justifiable, because you are not very rich, and you have not really collected valuable treasures in your treasury."

"So, my lord, did you also bring the gems?" asked the king. "A lot." "Can you send me some?" the king was obsessed with greed. "It goes without saying that I will present it to His Majesty when the goods are delivered. Anyway, I have brought a lot of gems. Since Your Majesty needs it, I will donate it right away." The king couldn't help being overjoyed, and he said to the creditors of Meerruf: "Go back! Do your business with peace of mind. Everyone wait patiently until his load arrives. Come and ask me for money. .” The king sent the merchants away, and then negotiated with the prime minister, expressing his intention to choose Mayruf as his horse.The king said: "My love, I hope you will have a good time receiving the rich businessman Meerruf, and flatter him a lot. You might as well talk to him about the beauty of the princess, and lure him to come to propose and marry the princess. In this way, we will to enjoy his wealth."

"My lord, I doubt this person's words and deeds. According to my opinion, he is a big liar who is good at boasting. I hope that His Majesty will be more careful, and it is best not to mention this matter, so as not to ruin the princess for nothing." It turned out that the prime minister was an ambitious man who tried his best to marry the princess, but failed because the princess refused. Therefore, the king saw his intentions and became furious, cursing: "You vicious fellow! The bad intentions are all due to the vengeful heart that sprouted when you proposed to the princess before and was rejected. Now you dare to take the risk to destroy his marriage to achieve your own goals. I advise you to give up your unscrupulous marriage. Practical thoughts. Tell you: Meyerruf knows the value of that gem, is obviously a connoisseur, and he broke it because he despised it. You don't deserve to gossip about him, say what he He is a liar. He has many precious gems. If he sees the beauty of the princess, he will fall in love with her madly, be obsessed with her, and marry her, so that he will give her all the treasures. Your intention is not right, Deliberately destroying my daughter's happy marriage is nothing more than not wanting me to enjoy his precious wealth."

The prime minister was speechless by the king's scolding, fearing that the king would punish him, he thought: "A good man doesn't suffer at the moment!" So he had to follow the king's instructions obediently, approached Meerruf enthusiastically, and said to him : "The king loves you very much. His daughter is very beautiful and lovely. He has both ability and political integrity. He intends to choose you as his horse. What do you think?" "Okay. But please wait patiently, the old man, and the wedding can only be held when my load arrives. Because marrying the emperor costs a lot, and the princess has a high status, so you have to pay a considerable amount of dowry to be married to the emperor." She is worthy. Now I have no money at hand. I have to wait for my pack to arrive, and I can do what I want. At that time, I will take five thousand bags of gold coins as a dowry. On the wedding day, I will take A thousand sacks of gold coins for poor poor people, a thousand sacks of gold coins for those who attended the wedding ceremony, a thousand sacks of gold coins for guests and soldiers. On the day after the wedding, I will give the bride a hundred precious stones. One hundred pieces are given to the maid of honor to express my high respect to the bride. I also need to give a set of clothes to the poor and helpless poor people. In addition, I must continue to give a lot of money. To achieve this, I must wait until I I have a lot of money, and I don’t care about spending it.”

The prime minister conveyed Meyerruf's thoughts and opinions on marriage to the king.The king heard this and said, "You can see his character from such a specific plan. Do you still think he is a big liar who is good at boasting?" "My opinion of him still hasn't changed," the prime minister replied timidly and carefully. The king was very astonished, and cursed loudly, and finally said: "I swear by my head, if you insist on your own opinion again, I will kill you. Now I order you to go and invite him, and I am determined to make him a horse at once."

The prime minister obeyed, and immediately went to Meerruf and said, "Follow me! The king has something to say to you." Meyerruf promised, and immediately followed the prime minister to meet the king. "You don't have to refuse anymore." The king said to Meerruf. "My national treasury is quite rich. I can say anything. You just do what you want. Princesses and maids of color, what do you want? Give it to them, give it to them. Now that we have this relationship, out of respect for your wife, we will wait patiently for your load to arrive. Then do what you see to do .In short, don’t divide between you and me.”

Afterwards, the king invited the Dean, and while holding the engagement ceremony of the princess and Meyerruf, he started preparations for the wedding ceremony and ordered the city to be redecorated.After preparing a rich banquet, they beat gongs and drums to announce the beginning of the wedding ceremony.Meyerruf sat on a chair in a well-groomed manner to welcome the guests. Officials, gentry and common people came to congratulate in an endless stream. Various folk artists were also invited to participate in the grand event, playing, singing and dancing, which was unprecedentedly lively. Meerruf ordered the treasury to fetch gold and silver coins and sprinkle them to the crowd watching the excitement, and kept distributing clothes.

The so-called people are refreshed on happy occasions. At this time, Meyerruf was beaming and very happy. The manager of the treasury was overwhelmed with work, constantly taking out property from the treasury for Meerruf to give alms to and squander at will. The prime minister looked at all this and could only feel anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything.Ali, the merchant, saw Meerruf's way of giving money like water, and was frightened and panicked. He quietly took the opportunity to say to him: "You opportunistic, outcast fellow, I really want to slap you in the face! It's not enough for you to consume the money of the merchants, and you have to squander the king's stock to be reconciled?" "It doesn't matter to you. I will repay you twice when my load arrives." Meerruf proudly replied to Ali, and continued to give alms despite being dissuaded. While being generous to the king, he also secretly said: "I will rest easy Sleeping on the ground, because the event that should happen will inevitably happen when the time comes, this is destined by fate." With the way of life of "there is wine today, the present is drunk", he happily prepared for the wedding, kept singing and dancing, entertaining guests, and giving relief for forty days.On the forty-first day, the wedding ceremony was officially held, and all courtiers and civil and military officials lined up to participate in the ceremony.They ushered the bride, dressed up like a fairy, into the auditorium.Meyerruf took gold coins as happy money and casually scattered them to the crowd, thinking that this was a way of respecting the bride.Therefore, he spent a considerable sum of money. The unprecedented wedding ceremony was completed, and the guests sent Meyerruf into the bridal chamber, and then parted happily. Meyerruf sat on the high chair, full of air, clenched his fist with his right hand, and punched heavily in the palm of his left hand, then pretended to be very wronged, put on a troubled face, fell silent for a while, and then clapped his palms, alas He sighed and said: "At this point, there is nothing we can do. We only hope that the great Allah will save us!" "Husband, today should be a happy day, why do you look so sad?" the princess asked with concern. "Because your father was too anxious, he disrupted my plan. His arrangement is no different from backfired. How can I not be sad?" "How could this be? Can you tell me?" "He asked me to marry you before my pack arrived. I was going to give at least a hundred gems to your servants as a souvenir, one to each, and let them say joyfully: "This is the wedding night of our lady's bridal chamber, and Fu Ma Ye left us a memorial." The purpose of this habit of giving souvenirs is nothing more than to respect your status and show off your excellent qualities. For distributing a large number of gems, I am not stingy, because I have plenty of gems." "Don't worry about such a trivial matter. I will never worry about it, because I can wait until your load arrives. As for the servants, they don't care about it. Wait for your load to arrive. Come, let's claim gems and other valuables." On the second day of their wedding, after taking a bath in the bathhouse, Meerruf changed into his palace clothes, and went into the palace to meet the king in a well-groomed manner.The courtiers and civil and military officials stood up to respect and love him, greeted him respectfully, and blessed him. He sat before the king and asked, "Where is the treasury?" "Here! That's right, he's already here, waiting for Your Excellency's orders." The officials replied in unison. "Hurry up and get me my clothes!" He told the treasury: "All courtiers and civil and military officials, each send a set of clothes." The treasury officer followed the order and took a large amount of clothes from the treasury with great sincerity.So Meerruf rewarded the courtiers and officials with clothes one by one, and rewarded gold and silver according to their official ranks, and continued to squander, generously to the king.Twenty full days had passed and there was still no sign of his own pack.At this time, the treasury manager felt a little embarrassed. He was very worried and doubtful, and while Melruf was away, he secretly begged to see the king, knelt down and kissed the ground, and then played: "My lord, there is not much property left in the treasury. If this continues, it will take less than ten days for all the property to be exhausted. In this case, I have no choice but to inform Your Majesty first, otherwise, Your Majesty will blame me afterwards. " At this time, only the prime minister was with the king.After hearing the report, the king turned around and said to the prime minister: "My love, the package with the horses has not expired, and there is no news about it. What do you think is the reason?" "My lord, may Allah take care of your majesty!" The prime minister sneered and said, "Because your majesty is stupid and foolish, he has been deceived by that liar. I swear by your majesty's head, he has no cargo at all, not even a piece of cloth." can comfort us. All this is nothing more than his trickery to deceive His Majesty, wanting to squander His Majesty's property and marry the princess for free.I think how long will His Majesty be so stupid before he can come to his senses? " "Ai Qing, what method can we use now to understand his real situation?" "My lord, only wives can inquire about the secrets of their husbands. Your majesty can find the princess and let her hide behind the curtain. I will talk to her and ask her about the situation of the horse. As long as she is willing to talk, we can grasp The details of Meyerroof." "It's absolutely possible. I swear on my head, if it turns out that he is really a liar, then I must use the cruelest punishment to execute him to death." The king came to the harem with the prime minister and kept him in the drawing room, and while Meyeruf was away, he sent for the princess to hide behind the curtain, and said to her: "Daughter, the prime minister has something to say to you." "Master Xiang, do you have something to say to me?" the princess asked. "Miss, you have to know that your husband spent all of your father's belongings. He married you without paying a penny as a dowry, but he often made promises to us without shame, but he couldn't keep them. The cargo pack has never arrived, and there is no news at all. All in all, now, I have to ask you to tell us his actual situation, so that we can deal with him." "He promised a lot. Every time he met me, he made a wish that he would give me precious stones, silk and satin, and gold and silver clothes. what come?" "Miss, will you have a frank talk with him to-night? Say to him thus: 'Tell me the truth! Just rest assured that you have nothing to worry about; I will not forsake you as my husband. You. You tell me the truth of the matter, and I will find a way to save you.' When you talk to him, you must master your senses and be flexible. In this mood, stabilize him with all your affection. Put in some effort like this, and after finding out the truth, you can come and tell us." "Father, my daughter already knows how to inquire about the situation." The princess agreed to the prime minister's order and assured the king in person before returning slowly. That night, when Meyerruf returned to the dormitory on time as usual, the princess, according to the prime minister's instructions, showed her husband great hospitality, flattered and flattered him with sweet words, tried her best to seduce him, and finally fascinated him.At this moment, she saw that Meerruf was prostrating himself under her pomegranate skirt, and with a certain degree of certainty, she opened her mouth and said: "My dear! You are my life and everything to me. I pray to Allah to bless us so that our husband and wife will grow old together and never be separated, because love has occupied my heart, and the flame of love makes people's blood boil. I have been following you for the rest of my life. But now I beg you to tell me the whole truth. Paper can never contain fire, and it is impossible for people to maintain a normal state forever without showing their feet. You are a swindler, deceitful, and defrauded a large amount of your father’s property When do you plan to end this act? If I don't quickly find a way to save you and let you rein in the precipice, I'm afraid that once your father sees through your fraudulent behavior, then you will die without a place to bury you, and then I can't help you anymore. You. Now tell me the truth! It will do you no harm. You tell me the truth, and I'll keep you safe. You don't have to worry about it. How many times have you boasted that you are a merchant, You are a rich man with a load. For a long time, you have said: "My load! My load!" The shouting has not stopped, but what is the truth? There is no news of the load. You look like Sorrow and distress, because you duplicity your heart, and you are telling lies. If you tell the truth, if Allah wills, I will try to save you." "Ma'am, I have already talked about this, so I have no choice but to tell you the truth. You can do whatever you want to do afterwards." "Then you speak, but try to tell the truth! Honesty is a virtue of life. Don't lie anymore, or it will bring you an irreparable disaster!" Inspired by the princess' sweet words, Meyerruf trusted her with all his heart, so he said: "Ma'am, you must know that I am not a businessman. Not only do I have no goods, I don't even have a piece of cloth. I used to be a cobbler in my hometown, and I made a living by mending broken shoes for others. My wife Vatwimer, People called her Elei, she was a mean, lazy shrew..." So he narrated in detail his wife's aggressive personality, his unbearable abuse by her, his experience of escaping, and her deception.The princess laughed out loud. "How clever you are at lying and deceiving!" said the Princess. "Ma'am! If you can hide evil and promote good, and rescue the poor, Allah will bless you with a long life." "You are bluffing and cheating, telling lies to deceive and confuse the father, so that the father was deceived and betrothed me to you as a wife out of greed for money. In the end, not only did you not get the property, but you also took your own money in it. Only the prime minister can see this. He didn’t believe that you were a businessman, and told his father many times that you were a liar who was good at lying, but his father didn’t believe him, thinking that he was revenge and sabotage. The reason was that he once proposed to me, but I didn’t want to to be his wife, and thus categorically rejected him, causing him to hold a grudge. For a period of time after we got married, my father was always worried. He didn't know what you were like, so he asked me to find out about you. Now that I know the truth, if I tell my father, he will be furious and hurt you.But you are my husband after all now, and of course I don't want to lose you.Therefore, no matter what you are, and no matter how ugly your deceit is, I have to marry a chicken and follow a chicken, and marry a dog and follow a dog.I am destined to be your person in this life.If the royal father wants to kill you, he will definitely marry me to someone else. I'm not willing to die for such a thing. " After knowing all the details of her husband, in order to help him, the princess took the trouble to analyze the interests and relations in detail, and then taught him how to avoid disasters, enjoining: "Go and change into a palace uniform, take my private money totaling 50,000 gold coins, ride a fast horse, try to escape to a place that is not under the jurisdiction of the father, and use the money to do business in the local area. Once in a foreign country Once you settle down, write to me as soon as possible to let me know your situation, so that I can help you at any time, and you can live in a different place with peace of mind. Once the father dies, I will tell you the news immediately, and you will come back at that time You will be equally respected. In case of misfortune, you die before me, or I die before you, then we have to wait for the next life to meet again. I think this is the right way to deal with it. After parting, as long as you and I live in peace In this world, I can keep sending letters and money to you. Now you go and prepare quickly, escape in the starry night, don’t wait for the dawn to fall into their hands, and it will be too late to regret.” "Ma'am, it seems that there is no better way than this at present." Meerruf was very grateful to the princess, and immediately got up, changed his clothes, and ordered the groom to equip a horse, bid farewell to the princess hastily, and left overnight.People who met him during the journey thought he was a prince and general who was on a tour on business, so they dared not stop him. In the early morning of the next day, the prime minister accompanied the king to the waiting room, and then sent someone to invite the princess. The princess came behind the curtain by name, and the king asked, "Daughter! What is the matter I ordered you to inquire about?" "Father, the facts are clear, but the first thing I want to say now is, may Allah expose the ugly face of the prime minister, because he has been changing ways to vilify me and my husband!" "Oh? What's going on, can you explain more clearly?" "Last night when my husband came back to the room, before I had time to talk to him, the eunuch Fei Le rushed to me with a letter and said to me: ’ Ten servants stood outside the palace gate, handed me this letter, and said to me: Please kiss our master Meerruf for us, and please give him this letter.We are his servants, and we have brought him loads.It is said that he married the princess, so we have come here to report what happened on the way. 'I took the letter, opened it, and saw that it was written to him jointly by five hundred of his servants.The letter said: The villain waits to bow his head again, and I would like to write to Your Excellency Meyerruf: After my generation broke up with the adults, unfortunately, I was robbed and killed by gangsters on the way.Due to the fact that there are so many bandits, waiting for work at ease, and their ferocious flames are aggressive, our generation is in a dilemma. Although everyone worked bravely and worked together, with 500 people against 1,000 strong men, resisted tenaciously and fought hard for 30 days, but in the end we were at a disadvantage. As a result, my generation sacrificed 50 people and lost 200 packs of cloth.Therefore, our generation failed to reach the destination on time. I am afraid that adults will be uneasy today, so I hereby read it first. When my husband heard the news, he sighed, "Oh!They shouldn't be like this, why bother to fight with the bandits because of two hundred loads of cloth?What is a mere two hundred packs of cloth?It's a big deal to postpone it because of such a small matter.Two hundred packs of cloth are worth seven thousand gold coins at best.It seems that I have to go out and urge them myself.The number robbed by the bandits is not a loss at all to the whole batch of cargo, so just treat it as a charity from me. ’ So he left me as if nothing had happened, not caring about the loss of goods and the sacrifice of his servants.At that time, I looked down from the window and saw the ten servants who brought him letters, all of them were handsome, lively, well-dressed, and very well-dressed.It seems that the guards in our palace are far inferior to them.Later he went to pick up the load with the messenger servants.Praise be to Allah, fortunately I did not rush to tell him what my father asked me, otherwise he would discriminate against me and hate me.All in all, the matter almost fell on the prime minister. He was the one who slandered my husband with rumors. " "Son! I'm glad things didn't come to that. Your husband has a lot of money, so he doesn't think about any loss. Since he came to us, he has donated his money generously to help the poor and poor. If Ann Ra's will, once his load arrives, we shall have much to gain." The king comforted the princess energetically, and at the same time put on a straight face, scolding the prime minister mercilessly. Besides, according to the arrangement of the princess, Meerruf rode a horse and galloped through the wilderness all night. He didn't stop until the next morning.He raised his eyes and looked around, suddenly felt that the future was bleak, and he didn't know where to find his home.Thinking of the farewell last night, he couldn't restrain his surging mood. After a burst of moaning and sighing, he felt more and more sad, and then burst into tears, as if the god of death had come.He felt hopeless. In the midst of hesitation and confusion, he trekked like a dream for a while.At noon, I came to a small village and saw a farmer driving two buffaloes in the field.He was so hungry that he had to approach the farmer to ask for some food to satisfy his hunger.He greeted the farmer and greeted him.The farmer saw a man with the appearance of an official standing by the field, so he hurriedly left his farm work and asked: "Welcome, my lord! Are you a dignitary?" "Fine," Meyeruff replied. "Please dismount, I will treat you as a distinguished guest!" The farmer thought he was a kind traveler. "Man, I think you have nothing, how can you entertain me?" "My lord, my home is in a small village not far ahead. You can dismount and rest for a while, and I'll go back to prepare lunch for you and bring some fodder for your livestock." "Since the village is not far away, I don't need to bother you to go back and forth. I'll go and buy some food myself." "Sir, the village is very small, there are not many people, there is no market, and there is no business. I swear to Allah, it is my honor to provide services to people like you, please take a break, I will be very happy Get your lunch ready soon." Meyerruf accepted the farmer's warm invitation, dismounted and stayed by the field.The farmer also hurried back to the village to get food. Meerruf sat on the edge of the field, waited for a while, and said to himself: "This kind farmer has delayed the plowing time for me. I should plow for him for a while and try to make the time he wasted as much as possible." Fill it up." So he picked up the plow handle and urged the oxen to plow.But just after plowing for a while, the plowshare was stuck by something. The old cow dragged it hard, but still couldn't move it. He put down the handle of the plow, looked carefully, and saw that the plowshare was firmly inserted in a gold ring.He dug open the soil and checked, and saw that the golden ring was attached to a piece of marble as big as a stone millstone.With curiosity, he took a lot of effort to lift the marble, and found that there were steps under the stone to reach a spacious basement.He inspected it carefully, and saw that there were four houses inside, and the architectural style was like a gorgeous bathhouse.The first room was filled with gold, the second room was filled with emeralds, pearls, and corals, the third room was filled with sapphires, rubies, and various kinds of jade, and the fourth room was filled with diamonds and other precious treasures.In the center of the house is a transparent crystal box containing rare and precious gemstones, each as big as a coconut.In the crystal box, there is a small and exquisite gold box the size of a lemon. When he saw the gold box, he was very surprised and almost went crazy with joy, thinking: "There must be rare treasures in that box." He walked over, picked up the gold box, and opened it. It turned out that there was a gold ring engraved with a spell on it, and the pattern was like the footprints of ants. He took out the ring, love is like a treasure, his finger accidentally touched the ring, and then a voice said to him: "My master, your faithful servant has come at your command. Tell your needs! You want to build A city or destroy a city? Do you want to destroy a kingdom or build a kingdom? Move a mountain or dig a canal? Say it! Whatever you need, with the permission of Allah, the Almighty God who created day and night, I will satisfy all your requests!" "It can be seen that you are probably a creature created by the master, right? Can you tell me: who are you and what do you do?" Mayruf asked. "I am the god king who protects the ring in your hand, and I am responsible for serving the owner of the ring. No matter what its owner needs, I must meet his requirements. I must follow his orders. I rule seventy-two races, each There were seventy-two thousand members of this race, and the members of each race ruled over a giant, each giant ruled over a thousand servants, each servant ruled over a thousand elves, and each elf ruled over a thousand land gods. They all Follow my command, and no one dares to disobey my order. Now that you have the ring, I will be your servant from now on. If you have anything to do, you just order. What you say is an imperial edict to me, and I must obey it. No matter when and where you need me, just rub the ring, and I will appear in front of you immediately. But you must not rub twice in a row, otherwise I will be burned by the sky fire. If I am burned, then It will be too late for you to repent. I have told you my situation without reservation, and I wish you well.” "So, honorable name?" Meyeruffe asked. "My name is Abby Serdotu." "Abby Serdotu, what is this place? Who told you to guard this ring?" "My master! This is an underground treasure house named Shand Ben Onton. Its owner, Chandot Ban Onton, once built a rare stone mansion in the deserted desert. When he was alive, I am his faithful servant. This ring is what he bequeathed, and has been kept in the treasury. It is now yours." "I need all the treasures in this treasure house, can you move them out for me?" "Absolutely. It's an easy task." "Okay then, you just move out all the treasures as required, and don't leave any of them." The Ring God stretched out his finger, and the ground suddenly cracked.He got in and disappeared for a while, and then countless smart, lively, and cute children came out, holding gold baskets and silver baskets, and began to move the gold, silver and jewels in the treasure house.It was all gone in a short while. At this time, the Ring God appeared again and said to Meerruf: "Report to the master, all the treasures in the treasury have been moved out." "Who are these lovely children?" asked Meyeruffe. "They are my children. As this is a small task, they are competent, so I have called them to serve you, and they will be honored. What else do you need now? Please order." "Can you get me some mules and horses and boxes in which to transport the treasure?" "This matter couldn't be easier, and it can be done right away!" Abby Serdotu promised and shouted loudly, and his 800 children appeared around him after hearing the sound, waiting for orders. He told the children: "Well, most of you will become mules and horses for me, and the rest will become very beautiful slaves that cannot be found in the palace, half will become grooms, and half will become servants." , and then come to accept the mission." They obeyed the order, and in an instant, everything changed.Seven hundred of them became mules and horses, and the rest became grooms and servants respectively.Afterwards, the God of the ring called out to his servants again, and the servants heard the sound and came to him.Then he bade some of them become steeds, equipped with jeweled saddles and silver bridles. Meyerruf looked at all this and asked, "Where's the cage?" The ring's servant immediately brought him the cage. He ordered them: "Sort the gold, silver, and jewels into boxes and cages!" The servants followed the order, sorted and packed the wealth into three hundred packs, ready to be transported away. Meerruf suddenly remembered that he still needed cloth, so he said to the ring god, "Abby Serdotu, can you prepare some precious cloth for me?" "Where do you want cloth? Egyptian? Syrian? Persian? Indian? Or Roman?" "Get a hundred packs of cloth for each place." "My master, if this is the case, then I'm afraid I will ask you for a period of time, because I will send my servants to collect cloth from various places immediately, and turn them into mules and horses to fulfill your wishes." "How long will it take before and after?" Mayroof asked. "One night is enough. At dawn tomorrow, all the cloths you need will be there." "Then it's settled, I'll give you a one-night time limit." The God of the ring immediately ordered his servants to set up a tent and set up a banquet, let Meerruf sit inside to rest, eat and drink, and said: "My master, please sit in the tent and let my children serve you and protect you." , don’t worry, I will immediately recruit servants and send them to various places to collect cloth for you.” Meerruf sat happily in the tent, with a rich banquet in front of him, and the children of the ring god were busy serving him like loyal slaves. At this time, the farmer who had returned to the village to prepare meals had arrived, bringing with him a large bowl of lentils and a horse nose bag full of fodder, ready to entertain Meerruf and help him feed the animals.When he reached the edge of the field, he looked up and saw that a tent had been set up, and many servants were standing in the tent respectfully with their arms folded on their chests.He immediately realized that this might be the emperor passing by here and temporarily resting here, so he was stunned and sighed secretly: "If I had known this, I should have killed two hens and braised them with yellow butter to flatter the king." So he turned around and went home to kill the chickens, preparing to entertain the king. Meyerruf, seeing the behavior of the farmer, called to him loudly, and said to his servants: "Go and invite him into the tent!" The servants followed the order, rushed out of the tent, brought the farmer himself into the tent together with his big bowl and horse nose bag, and placed the lentils and fodder in front of Meerruf. Meyerruf pointed and asked, "What is this?" “这钵扁豆是给你预备的午餐，这袋里的草料是给你喂牲口的。请原谅我吧！先前我并不知道主上御驾光临，否则我会杀两只母鸡好好招待陛下的。” “大可不必。其实国王并未到此，我不过是国王的姻亲罢了。只因我经受不起委屈，才愤然出走。现在国王派他的仆从前来接我，他和我之间彼此解释了误会，已好如初，因此我不再在外面流浪，打算明天一早便回朝去了。你我萍水相逢，素昧平生，你却像老朋友一样盛情款待我，让我不知说什么才好。你的饮食虽然只是一钵扁豆，但盛情可嘉，我是没齿难忘的，现在我愉快地接受你的盛情，一定要品尝你带来的这些食物。” 于是他吩咐农夫把扁豆摆在席间，边吃扁豆，边请农夫享用席中的山珍海味，直至宾主都吃饱喝足，才退席洗手，将吃剩的饭菜赏给仆从们。迈尔鲁夫又吩咐仆从们盛了一钵金子，送给农夫，说道：“带回去吧！有机会你上京城去，我会好好答谢你的。” 农夫满心欢喜地带着一钵金子，赶着耕牛回庄去了。 当晚迈尔鲁夫在帐篷中舒适、愉快地过夜。仆从们怕他寂寞，因而预备了一批窈窕美丽的女郎，为他通宵达旦唱歌、跳舞，表演节目。迈尔鲁夫一直陶醉在歌舞声中，感受生平不曾梦想过的欢欣和快慰。 第二天一大早，迈尔鲁夫就看见远方腾起灰尘，弥漫在空中。过了一会，灰尘下面出现一个马帮，驮着大量的货物向他走来。 他仔细打量，见是戒指神按要求运来的各色布帛，总计七百驮，除驮布匹的骡马外，还有许多奴仆护送。而艾比·塞尔多图俨然是个大老板，骑着骡子，在马帮前开道引路。他还带来一顶镶珠宝玉石的金质驼桥，预备让迈尔鲁夫乘坐。 戒指神到帐前下马，跪在迈尔鲁夫面前，吻了地面，说道：“报告主人，布帛已按要求运到。这里还特地为你准备了一座金质驼轿以及一套从宝库中取来的名贵袍子，这件袍子是帝王宫中所没有的。现在请主人穿起袍子，坐上驼轿，起驾回朝吧。” “我打算写封信，派你送到无诈城，亲自交给国王，报告消息。你必须扮成温顺的差役，和气些，不可鲁莽从事。” “明白了，愿意效劳。”艾比·塞尔多图同意迈尔鲁夫的意见。 迈尔鲁夫写好了信，递给戒指神，让他立刻赶往无诈城，送交国王。艾比·塞尔多图领命迅速赶到城中，立即入宫，此时国王正和宰相坐在一起谈话。
