Dong guochang, a person of the state Qi, had always dreamt to be a millionaire, and planned how to spend the imaginary1 money.
One of his students wanted to borrow some money from him because he could barely2 make a living. Not only did Dong Guochang refused him, but also he told his student, "I am going to use this money to buy a position in the government, so that I can bring glory to my family. So I cannot lend you the money."
Angered by his word, the student left him in a pet and went to state Song.
齊人東郭敞一直夢(mèng)想擁有萬(wàn)貫家財(cái),并時(shí)時(shí)計(jì)劃如何花掉這些未來(lái)的還沒到手的錢。
他的一個(gè)學(xué)生因生活困難,想請(qǐng)老師周濟(jì)一下,借他兩個(gè)錢用用,東郭敞不但不答應(yīng),而且還認(rèn)真地說(shuō):“我正準(zhǔn)備用這些計(jì)劃中的錢去買個(gè)官兒來(lái)做,以便光耀門庭,錢不能借給你。”
學(xué)生聽后,大為憤怒,一氣之下,便離開他,投奔齊國(guó)去了。
