When a magistrate of a county in the Tang Dynasty was handling the case of Hui people, two people came to sue Yan, one accused Yan of robbing someone else's pig, and the other accused Yan of forcing others to take profits. The county magistrate ordered the arrest. Yan escaped for fear of sin.

His brother Yan Jiansheng sued for him, paid his own compensation and managed it himself. Later, Yan Jiansheng's wife Wang became seriously ill, and my concubine was helped as the first wife. On the wedding day, Wang died of illness. Later, Yan Jiansheng also died. The article reflects Yan's overbearing, Zhao's calculation and Yan Jiansheng's meanness.

This article mainly tells the story of Yan Jiansheng's younger brother, the first wife, who can't afford to get sick, and the second wife, who takes good care of him. One day, the king said to Zhao, "If I die, I will stand you up and fill your house." Zhao hurriedly invited Yan Jiansheng and told his grandmother what he said. The next day, Yan Jiansheng called his two uncles and decided to "worship heaven and earth together" when Wang saw them.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jane Yan was unable to speak for three days in a row. In the evening, he crowded a room and lit a lamp on the table. Jian Yansheng put his hand out of the quilt and held out two fingers. Everyone is confused, but only Scott knows.

Yan Jiansheng shook his fingers with two hands before he died. They asked him what he wanted to say. Finally, Zhao cut off a lamp grass, and Yan Jian died. From this we can see that Yan Jiansheng is stingy by nature and loves money like life.

According to this article, Yan Jiansheng's love for money is manifested in "the phlegm in Yan Jiansheng's throat keeps ringing and he is always angry."

It turns out that burning one more rush will make a dying person feel worried, unable to let go of his heart and difficult to give up his life. This vivid and exaggerated description vividly depicts the image of a miser and leaves a deep impression on people.
