In the late Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar named Lu Yu in the Jianghuai area. He was smart by nature and kind-hearted, but his family was poor and often worried about taking the exam trip.
once took the exam, and there was no travel fee when he returned. Helpless, I just have to find things to do.
In the chaotic era, odd jobs were not easy to find. Lu Yu walked for most of the day and not only did he not find a job, but he was also hungry.
Passed by a large mansion and saw the yellow pears on the branches all over the yard. He couldn't stop his index finger from moving.
"The pears are ripe but not picked. I believe the owner of the family has no children." Lu Yu thought quickly, and soon he had an idea in his mind.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door. The one who opened the door was a capable old man.
"What's wrong with the young master?" The old man couldn't help but feel a little respectful and asked softly.
Lu Yu smiled faintly, "Senior, the young man went to the temple to burn incense a few days ago. The abbot gave the young man a few talismans. It is said that it is very effective. The young man is not able to use it before marrying a wife, so he wants to exchange the talisman for a few pears to quench his thirst."
Two years ago, Lu Yu was lucky to see the abbot drew the talisman for a child. He had a good memory and learned it at first sight. Now it comes in handy.
The old man was happy and politely invited him into the house, and hurried to the inner hall to report.
The owner of this family is Fang. The rich man in Fang is a famous local charity. He has done a lot of good things to the local people, but he has no children over the age of forty and has no results in searching for good prescriptions everywhere.
The old man is the housekeeper of the Fang family and is loyal to his master. He is naturally very happy to hear that the scholar has a talisman for a child.
Soon, rich man Fang walked out of the inner hall. He saw that the scholar had a bright eyes and a heroic spirit was hidden between his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but nod.
He was very polite and asked the servant to serve tea. Lu Yu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Thank you for your warm hospitality."
After saying that, Lu Yu took out a few talismans and handed them over. After taking it, the rich man Fang smiled and said, "Then I'm not polite."
Then, the servant brought a plate of pears. After eating a few, Lu Yu was already full and prepared to leave.
The housekeeper was kind-hearted and saw that Lu Yu had a yellow face and thin skin, so he secretly gave him a few cakes. Lu Yu accepted it with great gratitude.
At this time, he looked up and accidentally saw a painting hanging on the wall. In the painting, there was a beautiful woman walking on the bank of the Qingqing River. She was wearing a green dress, with a slim figure and graceful appearance. Autumn flowed, and the spring in her beautiful eyes was rippling...
For a moment, Lu Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
The housekeeper coughed twice before Lu Yu recovered and realized that he was incompetent. He bowed and left embarrassedly after bowing again.
Walking on the road, Lu Yu was filled with emotion, "If Lu could marry such a beautiful woman, there would be no regrets in this life." After
, he fell into deep self-mockery again.
Study hard for ten years, and even the fame of a scholar was not achieved. His parents worked hard for most of their lives, and both died of illness before they could enjoy their old age...
When thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but have moist eyes and was extremely depressed. He walked forward listlessly.
I don’t know how far I went, but my stomach started to croak again. He took out the cake given by the housekeeper and bit it.
Who knew that after just taking a few bites, a thin old man suddenly appeared in front of him.
The old man looked at the cook cake in his hand. Lu Yu did not hesitate and handed over another cook cake that had not eaten yet.
"Thank you, young master." The old man ate in big mouthfuls after thanking him. After eating
, the old man still felt hungry. Lu Yu smiled and gave the cooked cake in his hand half to the old man.
After eating, the old man nodded to Lu Yu frequently, "Young man, you are so kind-hearted, you will definitely be a rich man in the future."
Lu Yu did not take this sentence to heart, thinking that it was just a compliment from the old man.
continued to walk forward for a while, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed, "I did a good thing and I'm hungry."
saw a big tree with a crooked neck in front of him, he decided to sleep first.
may be because he was too tired, so he fell asleep soon.
In the dream, a woman in a green dress came. Lu Yu was shocked and quickly took a few steps back.
This woman actually came out of the painting at Fang Qianzhu’s house.
"Young master, the little girl Cuicui , didn't you say you wanted to marry me? Why did you avoid it?" The woman's voice was gentle and pleasant, like the sound of nature.
Lu Yu's voice trembled a little, "Girl, are you a human or a ghost?"
The woman giggled, "The little woman is the daughter of Fang Caizhu's family, how could she be a ghost?"
Lu Yu felt relieved after hearing this.
The two chatted, and Lu Yu learned that Fang Cuicui did not agree to marry Mr. Zhao in the town, so she ran out secretly.
Suddenly, Fang Cuicui knelt down for Lu Yu, "Young Master, please take the little girl away."
"A beautiful lady is a gentleman." Lu Yu couldn't ask for it, so he naturally agreed.
After waking up, it was already dark. When I recalled the beauty in my dream, Lu Yu laughed at herself, saying that it was a toad that wanted to eat swan meat.
However, when he was about to get up and leave, he didn't know if there was a hallucination in front of him. In the dream, the woman in green dress actually walked towards him lightly.
"Young master, since you promised to take the little girl away, you can't regret it." The woman looked serious.
Lu Yu was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a long time, he asked, "Is the girl really a lady in the Fang family?"
the woman nodded.
confirmed that it was not dazzled. Lu Yu was overjoyed and said a few "good" in a row.
What made Lu Yu even more ecstatic was that there was a lot of money in Fang Cuicui's package, and she no longer had to worry about food and accommodation issues, which was enough for him to go back to his hometown.
That's it, the two of them traveled all the way and returned to Lu Yu's hometown with deep affection.
When people in the village saw Lu Yu bringing back a woman who looks like a fairy, they all came to watch the fun. They all said that he was very blessed and his ancestors had accumulated virtue.
Of course, there are also jealous people, saying that Lu Yu, a poor scholar, could marry such a beautiful girl?
Hearing this, Lu Yu remembered the old man's words, saying that he was a rich and powerful person. It seemed that he was really working on his own time.
: Fang Cuicui, after returning with Lu Yu, she was not as a lady as a lady, and was used to being pampered. On the contrary, she was thrifty and skillful, and the shoes she made were both durable and beautiful. The women in the village came to study one after another.
For a moment, Fang Cuicui quickly got into a relationship with the villagers and her relationship became more and more harmonious.
Lu Yu saw it and was happy in his heart. Their marriage was set to be half a month later.
One night, Lu Yu offered to inform his prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law about this matter. Unexpectedly, Fang Cuicui shook her head when she heard this.
Lu Yu saw that she was so persistent, so she had to give up.
On the wedding day, the villagers came to help, and it was very lively. When the meal started, a thin old man walked over, holding a shabby ceramic bowl. The villagers stared at him with disgust when they saw it. Because the old man not only wore ragged clothes, he also had a sour smell on his body.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the old man, Lu Yu put down the toasted glass and walked towards him with great strides.
Everyone was puzzled when they saw it, but Fang Cuicui looked scared.
"Old senior, I'll lend you auspicious words. Although the young student is not rich and noble, he also married a beautiful wife." After saying that, Lu Yu bowed respectfully to the old man and asked someone to bring a bowl of meat.
The old man was not polite and ate the meat in big mouthfuls. After finishing his meal, he spoke a strange thing, "Young man, you can't live for three days." Then he added, "The bride has passed away long ago."
Everyone looked sarcastic after hearing this, saying that the old man was a lunatic and was so rude on the day of great joy. After saying that, someone was about to drive the old man out.
Lu Yu waved his hand and told the villagers not to do anything randomly. He asked the old man politely, "Senior, you said this wrong. Xiaosheng's wife is fine, why did he die?"
The old man smiled faintly, "I want to ask your wife for this matter." After
, the old man strode away.
At this time, Lu Yu discovered that his wife was missing. Some people said that when he saw the bride enter the inner room, Lu Yu quickly ran over.
Sure enough, the bride Fang Cuicui hid in the inner room and cried.
Lu Yu was puzzled and asked his wife what was going on.
Fang Cuicui whispered, "Husband, I deceived you. The Taoist is right. The lady of the Fang family you want to marry has passed away. I am just a monster."
"What's going on?" Lu Yu opened his mouth wide and almost couldn't speak.
"Miss Fang died of illness three years ago. Although Fang Qianzhu is a great charity, he is actually a bandit, and he is a robber. He came here to live in seclusion after robbing an official bank. Someone cursed them in their house for revenge. Miss Fang has been weak and sick since she was a child and cannot stand the invasion of yin energy. She died of illness soon after."
"Miss Fang is versatile, especially in painting. Her paintings are vivid and the characters are full of spirituality. I accidentally got the opportunity to practice Taoism and become a demon, but my magic power is still weak and I need to practice dual cultivation with a person with infinite merits. That day, I met my young master and heard that the young master was going to marry the young master, so I appeared..."
Qing'er said this, Lu Yu understood everything.
"As long as you have no harm to others, what's wrong with being a demon?" Lu Yu held his wife's little hand tightly, his eyes full of tenderness.
Qing'er was moved and shed tears of happiness.
Soon, the wedding banquet continued.
When the banquet ended, the half-drunk Lu Yu was about to enter the bridal chamber, the thin old man suddenly appeared.
"Young master, the shemale is different, you can't do things that are foolish. If you enter the bridal chamber tonight, there will be no more time." Hearing this, Lu Yu and Qing'er were shocked at the same time.
"You flower demon, ignorant, you just passed the tribulation and became a demon, and you just need merit. You two of you have sex, and he will not survive for three days." When the old man said this, Qing'er immediately understood.
"Senior, is there a way to rescue me?" Lu Yu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
The old man pondered for a moment, and after a long time he said, "There is a way." After
finished speaking, he looked at Qing'er meaningfully.
Qing'er was very smart and immediately understood the meaning of the old man and hurriedly thanked him.
At this time, the old man quietly pulled Qing'er aside and asked softly, "You have finally succeeded in overcoming the tribulation. Are you really willing to abandon your cultivation and turn into a mortal?"
Qing'er nodded without hesitation, and the old man sighed slightly and stopped talking.
Qing'er suddenly asked, "Senior, please help me."
"If you have anything to say, just say it." said the old man.
"Although the rich man Fang has done a lot of bad things, he has completely repented. He has been doing good deeds in recent years. He also asked his senior to take action to abolish the formation in the courtyard."
The old man nodded slightly after hearing this, "I can promise you this."
Qing'er was happy and bowed and bowed. If she hadn't had the eldest daughter of the Fang family, she would not have become a painting demon. This move could be regarded as a repayment of kindness.
That night, Qing'er abandoned her cultivation and turned into a mortal, and the two entered the bridal chamber.
The next day, Qing'er was worried that the rich man below and asked her husband Lu Yu to go and have a look.
Lu Yu nodded, he was thinking that way.
If the rich man Fang had not brought a plate of pears with kindness and the housekeeper gave him a cooked cake, he might not have had this good marriage.
When the couple rushed over, they were suffering from heavy yin energy in the house, and the rich man was sick in bed, and the housekeeper had already passed away.
At this time, the old man appeared again and said that the formation had been removed. Lu Yu and his wife thanked each other again.
After Lu Yu and his wife saw Fang Qianzhu, they explained their purpose. Fang Qianzhu regretted when they heard this and said that this was retribution. When he learned that the formation had been removed, he wanted to kowtow to the two of them and thanked him, Lu Yu quickly helped him up.
Later, Lu Yu and his wife gave Fang Qianzhu a care of his old age and sent him to see him off, but Fang Qianzhu has been living in guilt and died soon after, which was retribution.
, Lu Yu, a few years later, passed the Jinshi exam and became a high-ranking official, and did a lot of good things for the people. His honest and upright reputation has been passed down to this day.
