There was a man named Chen Qing in Jiangxi who often sold horses to Sanshan Street in front of Chengen Temple in Nanjing. At that time there was a fine silver horse, worth about forty gold. Suddenly there was a stick holding a good umbrella, wearing colorful clothes, and came gracefully. He looked at it benevolently and couldn't bear to let go. Then he asked, "How much does this horse cost?" Qing said, "Forty taels." Gun said, "I'll buy it, but I have to go home to pay for the deed." Qing asked, "Where do you live?" Gun said, "I live in Hongwu Gate." Gun then rode his Yinhe horse, and Qing followed him on horseback. Halfway through the journey, Guan saw a satin shop, so he dismounted, put an umbrella next to the wine shop, and told Qing, "Keep a lookout while I buy a few pieces of satin, and I'll be back with you in a while." Qing thought, "This man wants to be a rich man, and Ma Liang can buy it successfully." Guan entered the satin shop, and deliberately competed with him for the price. When the satin guest said he didn't know the price, he pretended to say, "How about I come and make a counter-offer if I see someone who knows me?" The satin guest said, "There is such a good thing, I can see it with you, but you can't go far away." The stick said, "I have a horse and a companion, so what should I worry about?" He took the satin in his hand, went out and ran away. The guest felt at ease when he saw that the horse and his companion were still there.

This book is very interesting. They are all stories about preventing fraud, which is a bit similar to "Jianghu Congtan". The stories in the book are all warnings. Like this story about the lost bag and scammer, it tells us not to be greedy for petty gains and not to trust strangers easily. I think this book is very suitable for mothers who have just given birth, because there are many scammers nowadays, and we must learn to protect ourselves and our children. This book can be used as a practical life guide to help us spot scams.
