The ancients said that picking up gold should be unfamiliar, because strange things may happen when picking up things, such as the following scholar who picked up a bronze mirror.
During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar named Zhang Baojun in Chengji County, Longxi. When he saw a tuft of grass gleaming, he took a look at it. It was a bronze mirror with the size of a palm. It was really exquisite. He picked it up and wiped it. He saw a flour-white scholar who was himself. Zhang Baojun couldn't help but take another photo. Suddenly there appeared a rich lady Ye Danmei who he admired and became ill.
Before Zhang Baojun could react, Miss Ye in the mirror smiled at him and turned to leave. He was anxious and could not help shouting: "Miss Ye, don't go!" Then he stretched out his hand and took a step forward.
Zhang Baojun only felt that he had stepped into the door. Isn’t this Miss Ye’s home? It's exactly the same. Zhang Baojun was unsure. He thought that his father could not bear his pleading a few days ago. He took out most of his savings and bought a gift to the Ye family to propose marriage. He was kicked out by Miss Ye’s father. He came by himself today. I’m afraid Will be bombed away again.
Zhang Baojun was thinking. Suddenly a servant asked him to go in. He was sitting on the chair and said: "The young man Baojun, I was wrong when I threw your betrothal gift last time. I see that you really love my daughter. I agree with your marriage!"
Zhang Baojun was happy and suspicious, and said that he should go home and tell his father. Ye's father said: "My daughter missed you last time and became sick and almost became seriously ill. If you want to save her, get married early and notify my father later.” After that, I sent someone to dress him, and beat the gongs and drums to marry the two.
Zhang Baojun saw the bride,Isn't it Ye Danmei? But at this time, he looked sick and lost a lot. The bride was extremely shy and shy when he saw him, saying that she had known the gentleman's affection, but her parents' orders could not be violated. Today, since her father agreed to get married, she was also ecstatic. When Zhang Baojun heard this, he felt that his bones were crisp.
Just like this for three days, Zhang Baojun and everyone in the Ye family had a good drink and food every day, exchanged glasses for a drink, and lingered with Miss Ye at night. It was a fairy scene!
Zhang Baojun got up to go to the toilet one night, and suddenly saw the fire spreading in the distance. He was shocked and hurriedly called someone to put out the fire. He went into the house and picked up Miss Ye, and went to the room to call his father-in-law and mother-in-law. After a while, everyone gathered, but the fire had already burst into here.
Zhang Baojun is also wondering why a large courtyard burns so fast, probably because the wooden roofs are connected to each other. The crowd gathered on the open ground in disgrace, and the mother-in-law said gratefully, "My son-in-law, thanks to you, my family can save my life." People who got drunk and fell asleep when they were close to their sons. Only when Zhang Baojun was worried about his wife and deliberately drank less, he could detect the fire in time and wake the others up.
The father-in-law then ordered the servants to go out to find some fruits, and then whispered to Miss Ye. After a while, Miss Ye held a black pill the size of a sycamore tree, and asked Zhang Baojun to take it, saying that this was his father. The Xingshen pills hidden somewhere secretly can calm the mind and prolong life. Today, they are specially used to reward the son-in-law.
Zhang Baojun saw that his father-in-law was smiling and nodded. He did not doubt that he was there. After eating, he felt that the pill had a pleasant aroma in the mouth and immediately melted away, and he fell to the ground.
wait for Zhang Baojun to wake up,Where is Miss Ye? She was still on the grassy slope, but there were traces of fire everywhere. He saw that he was also in ragged clothes, dirty hands and black neck, and under his feet was the bronze mirror he had picked up. It has been destroyed by fire and shattered as soon as it was taken.
Zhang Baojun returned home uncertainly, and soon heard from people in the county that someone went to the grave and caused a big fire. At that time, people watching the fire saw a group of civet cats lined up to the depths of the barren mountain. migrate. Zhang Baojun pondered over and over, even if the civet cat is deliberately tempted, how can he know his thoughts, even what happened in the past?
After that, Zhang Baojun became seriously ill, but perhaps due to the effect of "Xing Shen Wan", the root cause of the disease did not fall. He seemed to have realized that he no longer coveted female sex, but studied hard. Later, his descendants prospered and became a famous local squire.
Editor's note: Zhang Baojun was curious when he picked up the bronze mirror, but the strange incident that happened next was puzzling. What kind of blinding trick was this? Probably people have a desire in their hearts, and the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth are in their eyes, and it is hard to hide it at all! And since the transformed Miss Ye family can take out the Xingshen Pills for Zhang Baojun, it is also a good news.
