During the period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a rich man named Meng Shentong in Xuanzhou. He was only in his early twenties and made a fortune by selling salt. After that, he handed over the business affairs to his subordinates and immersed himself in romantic places and followed a group of The prostitutes hang out together, eating, drinking and having fun all day long.
One day, Meng Shentong met a goddess on his way home from Fengyue Place. The goddess grabbed Meng Shentong and gave Meng Shentong a fortune. After the calculation, she told Meng Shentong that he was a blessed person and wanted to give Meng Shentong a fortune. Introduce a marriage, and you will be able to benefit from Meng's magical power in the future.
Meng Shentong threw away the Goddess. He was wandering alone in the land of romance. If he didn’t have any kind of woman, why would he marry a wife at home and hang himself from a tree? He didn’t pay a word to the Goddess and nodded. He left without looking back.
A few days later, Meng Shentong bumped into the Goddess on the street again. The difference from before was that the Goddess was accompanied by a veiled girl. The Goddess saw Meng Shentong from a distance and walked towards Meng Shentong enthusiastically. , Meng Shentong was a little impatient. In order not to be entangled by the goddess, he ran away.
Meng Shentong ran for several streets before getting rid of the goddess. When he stopped to catch his breath, a girl suddenly appeared next to him. She poked Meng Shentong's shoulder with her slender fingers.
Meng Shentong turned around and glanced at the girl, and was stunned on the spot. He had never seen a woman with such an elegant temperament. She was simply a fairy from heaven.
At this time, the goddess also emerged from the corner. She told Meng Shentong that this was the girl she was planning to marry to Meng Shentong. Her appearance would definitely satisfy Meng Shentong. If she married her back home, Meng Shentong would definitely make a profit.
After all, marriage is a major event in life and should not be taken lightly. Meng Shentong brought the girl home and learned from the girl that her name was Nan Le. After getting along with Nan Le for a while, Meng Shentong found that Nan Le had a very gentle and reserved temperament. Apart from keeping everything in order, she would not interfere with anything Meng Shentong did.
Meng Shentong was mainly attracted by Nan Le's lack of meddling in other people's business, and could even tolerate him having sex with other women outside, so Meng Shentong reluctantly married Nan Le back to his home, and treated it as a helper. , it can also be regarded as a tool to carry on his family lineage.
In order not to look too stingy, Meng Shentong gave Nan Le a valuable betrothal gift and reimbursed all Nan Le’s food and drink expenses. But on the third day after the wedding, A strange thing happened to Nan Le.
That night, Meng Shentong was lying on the bed to rest. He suddenly heard the sound of a cow braying. After he woke up, he glanced at Nan Le beside the bed and found that Nan Le was changing shapes at a speed visible to the naked eye. During this period It also made the sound of a cow braying, and Nan Le turned into the appearance of a cow.
Meng Shentong was so frightened that he crawled out of bed. He asked someone to find a Taoist priest outside that night.
When the Taoist priest came to Meng’s house and saw the cow, he frowned tightly. He didn’t find any smell related to Nan Le on the cow. This was a living, authentic cow. .
Meng Shentong was so angry that he wanted to question the Goddess, but when he came to the Goddess's house, he found that the Goddess's house was empty. The villagers told him that the Goddess had just moved away from home yesterday and did not say where she went.
So Meng Shentong reported it to the government. When the people in the government knew about it, they were very surprised. They sent dozens of people to find the goddess fifty miles away and brought her to the court.
The goddess was forced to reveal the truth. This matter started twenty years ago. At that time, the goddess learned a technique from ancient books that could temporarily transform animals into human appearances. Because the goddess Being greedy for money, she used this technique to make money.
The goddess transformed various animals into the appearance of beauties, and then introduced them to wealthy people, using this method to defraud dowry gifts. Over the years, the goddess has defrauded thousands of taels of silver in this way, and Meng Shentong was just the person she deceived. one.
Although Meng Shentong has some business acumen, he is still a young man after all, so he was targeted by the Goddess and was easily deceived by the Goddess. However, the Goddess did not expect that Meng Shentong would report it to the government so quickly. After all, she could escape outside the city if she fled for dozens of miles, and it would be very difficult to find her by then.
After the truth came to light, the goddess was imprisoned in a cell, and Meng Shentong also learned a lesson and no longer lingered in the romantic place. He found a gentle and virtuous girl and lived a happy little life together.
