Luoyang City live in an official family named Jin. Because Jin Yuanwai is old, he retires and leaves the court and returns home.
He has been an official for many years and has a wealthy family. He is a famous family in Luoyang City. The old couple had only one girl, named Mudan. The old couple treated her like a pearl in their palm and loved her in every way.
Peony looks very handsome. When he was young, Jin Yuanwai made a marriage with Zhang Zhen, the son of the Zhang family, to the Tongliao Zhang family.
Zhang Zhen lives in a certain place in Jiangsu and is also a prominent family. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected situation in the sky. A big fire burned the Zhang family without any tiles. Dozens of people in the family were killed in the sea of fire, and only Zhang Zhen escaped from the sea of fire.
Zhang Zhen, who was desperate, had to go to Luoyang to find his father-in-law. He climbed mountains and waded in the water, wandered day and night, and arrived in Luoyang almost begged along the way. After several questions, I found my father-in-law Jin Yuanwai's home. When Jin Yuanwai heard about the unfortunate experience of the Zhang family, he was deeply saddened and took Zhang Zhen in and asked him to temporarily live in a small and medium-sized room in the back garden to study poetry and prose, and prepare to take the big exam in the future and achieve fame.
After Jin Yuanwai took in Zhang Zhen, he gradually regretted it after a while.
He thought, Zhang Zhen’s family has no hope at all now. Isn’t marrying his daughter to him equivalent to pushing her into the fire pit? Besides, if he is not lucky and fails to pass the exam, wouldn’t he lose his daughter’s life? He discussed with his wife and decided to regret the marriage. He talked to his daughter again.
Although this Jin Mudan is beautiful, she also likes her parents to be poor and loves the rich, and says she will never marry Zhang Zhen. Jin Yuanwai said: "My daughter's intention is the same as her father thinks. But you have to find an excuse to withdraw from the wedding."
Zhang Zhen has been studying in the small garden room since he arrived at Jin Yuanwai's house. He wandered around the garden to watch flowers and plants in his spare time to relieve his worries. There is a fish pond in this garden. Zhang Zhen often tells his misfortune to the fish pond, and also misses his fiancée and wants to see Peony. However, my father-in-law always refused to agree to the meeting and even said that he was afraid of having a difference in his study. Zhang Zhen thought, is his father-in-law having other things to do? He was also depressed by this.
One day, Jin Mudan and his maid came to the garden and saw a young man by the fish pond from afar. The clever maid told her that it was the son-in-law Zhang Zhen. Jin Mudan had no mind and knew Zhang Zhen and wanted to turn around. But the little maid said, "Since the girl has seen the son-in-law, she should come forward to see a gift!"
She called Zhang Zhen again. Zhang Zhen heard from the maid that the fairy standing in front of him was Peony whom he missed day and night, so he went up to see him, but who knew that Peony ignored him. The maid hurriedly said, "Girl, my aunt is giving you a gift! Aren't you thinking about him day and night? Now that you are in front of you, why not give me a gift?" In fact, the maid was determined to match this marriage.
The peony had no choice but to deal with the gift quickly, and then pulled the maid away. When Zhang Zhen saw the girl leave, he felt very unhappy.
Zhang Zhen slept in a small garden room. After thinking about it, she was puzzled by her attitude towards Peony. Does she like me and do she think I am poor? If this is the case, why should I stay at her house? As I thought about it, I fell asleep in a short while.
Suddenly, he was woken up by a woman's voice and saw a graceful woman standing in front of the bed. He hurriedly asked, "Who are you from which family?"
The woman said, "What, can't Zhang Lang even hear the voice of his slave family? I am Mudan! Today, due to the little maid, I can't talk to Zhang Lang. I came to have a secret meeting with Zhang Lang tonight!"
Zhang Zhen was half-believing, but when she heard her sincere words, she grabbed her and told her about her loneliness, told her about her missing the girl, and said, "Mudan, you came secretly, and your parents would know what to do?"
The woman said, "Zhang Lang, I'm going to say that my father has decided to destroy your and my marriage. Although I am fighting with reason, my parents are in charge of the marriage."
Zhang Zhen was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Mudan, you..."
The woman said, "Don't worry, Zhang Lang, Mudan is infatuated with her husband. If my father really ruined this marriage, I will run with Zhang Lang to the ends of the world and accompany Zhang Lang for the rest of my life..." The woman felt affectionate, and Zhang Zhen was very grateful. The woman said, "Zhang Lang, I will visit you often. "
Zhang Zhen didn't know that the woman who had a secret meeting with him was transformed from a carp spirit. Her appearance and clothing were the same as that of a golden peony. She was originally a Guanyin Bodhisattva in the fish basket of Guanyin Bodhisattva. She was about to achieve the right result after practicing the Nikkei for thousands of years. But she was deeply in love with the world and secretly ran away from the Guanyin Bodhisattva's basket. It came to the fish pond of Jinfu. The poor Zhang Zhen often told the pain in his heart to the fish pond by the pond. He also knew that Jin Yuanwai's father and daughter were going to destroy the relatives. She was afraid that Zhang Zhen would not be able to withstand this blow, so she pityed him and loved him very much, so she turned into a golden peony appearance and met with Zhang Zhen to heal his spiritual wounds. . Of course, Zhang Zhen is hard to know all this.
On the Lantern Festival night, Zhang Zhen sighed to the sky in the garden again, missing her parents. The carp spirit appeared in front of him again and wanted to accompany him to watch the lanterns on the street. Zhang Zhen was very happy when he saw Mudan coming, so he went to watch the lanterns with her. They walked and watched, chatting and laughing warmly. Unexpectedly, he was seen by Jin Man Wai, who was also watching the lanterns. Jin Man Wai was so angry that his seven orifices were inflamed. However, he was not easy to attack on the street, so he immediately went home.
When he returned home, he called Mudan out and cursed: "What a stupid talent who is not guarding the boudoir, he dared to watch the lanterns on the street with Zhang Zhen. I have to beat you to death today. "I ordered my family to adopt the family rules.
Mudan was scolded for no reason. Just as she was about to argue, her father wanted to hit her again. She immediately knelt down and said, "Dad, I haven't walked out of the mansion tonight. How could I watch the lantern with Zhang Zhen? "
The old lady also blocked Jin Yuanwai and said, "Master, Mudan has been by my side tonight. You are afraid that you are dizzy and have seen the wrong person. Why not call Zhang Zhen to ask? "
Jin Yuanwai had to send someone to call Zhang Zhen.Jin Yuanwai asked, "Zhang Zhen, why did you seduce my daughter Peony to go out to watch the lights? "
Zhang Zhen saw that Jin Yuanwai had already known, but he didn't know how to answer.
Mudan also cursed: "I, Jin Mudan, follow the way of women. When did I go to the street with you? Why did you implicate me? "
Zhang Zhen saw that Mudan had changed his face, and he couldn't care much, so he accused him in person: "It turns out that you are false to me. The father and daughter colluded and harmed me, you..."
Jin Yuanwai even got angry and asked his family to whip Zhang Zhen.
At this time, a woman suddenly heard a shouting, "Go and do it slowly. "The woman who everyone thinks looks exactly the same as Jin Mudan.
Jin Yuanwai was also shocked: "Who are you...? ”
The woman said, “Dad, mother! Why can’t I even recognize your daughter Peony? "
Jin Yuanwai and his wife looked at the two peonies again and again, but which one was true and which one was fake was impossible to tell at all. Jin Yuanwai asked, "Who is the peonies of you? "
Both peonies said they were peonies in the same voice. They asked about their age, birthday, sun and moon, and the answers were the same. There was a black mole on their neck. The wife saw it, and both peonies were also there.
This time it was difficult for Jin Yuanwai to ask who went to the street to watch the lanterns with Zhang Zhen tonight. Later, Peonian said: "Dad, it was her daughter who went to the street to watch the lanterns with Zhang Lang. Just after her daughter left, the fairy turned into a daughter and came to her home. Dad, please drive her away quickly. "
The Zhuang Dan also tried his best to do it, pointing to the other one, and they all said that the other party was a fairy. Jin Yuanwai had no choice but to ask his family to arrange the two peonies to live in a room.
Jin Yuanwai told the Luoyang Prefect's incident. The prefect came to Jin Yuanwai's house to check and ask, but it was difficult to determine whether it was true or not. Luoyang Prefect had no choice but to ask Jin Yuanwai to Kaifeng to ask Bao Gong , because Bao Gong could cut off the evil evil of yin and yang, and had a demon-slaying sword.
This fake peony turned into by carp spirit. I originally wanted to mix the water and try to rescue Zhang Zhen. Now I feel panicked when I see Mr. Jin going to Kaifeng to invite Bao Gong. She knew that Bao Gong was so powerful that if he arrived, she would be unable to escape the Demon-Slaying Sword.
After thinking about it, she had a plan. At night, while the Jin Mansion family was unprepared, she casts spells and invites her aquatic races. They are fish, turtles, , sea shrimps, that have been practicing for many years. The carp spirit explained the situation and turned the aquarium into Bao Gong and his followers. After the real Bao Gong arrived, he also appeared in court to make a big fuss about the Jin Mansion. Let's see how they made a mistake?
Three days later, Bao Gong brought the yamen runners to the Jin Mansion. After he asked about the situation, he set up a hall in the Jin family to check the authenticity of the peony. Just as Mr. Bao was sitting behind the case and was about to settle the case, his family suddenly came to report it, and Mr. Bao and his entourage came outside the mansion.
Their appearance and their entourage are exactly the same as Bao Gong who came early. When Mr. Jin heard this, he was shocked. He thought to himself that the real and fake Peony had not yet figured out, and another real and fake Bao Gong came. It was difficult to deal with it now, so he immediately reported to Bao Gong. When Bao Gong heard this, he was shocked. He knew that they were transformed by the fish spirit sea monster, but he could not explain it clearly for the time being, so he asked Jin Manwai to set up another case, and the two Bao Gongs were both examined and asked.
Jin Yuanwai had to do as he did. At this moment, the Jin Mansion was very lively, and two Baobao public trials two peony. After the two Bao Gong went to the hall, they called the real and fake Peony and Zhang Zhen to come to the hall to reply. The real Bao Gong first asked about two peonies. Both of them said that they were real peonies and that the other party was transformed by monsters. He also asked Jin Yuanwai about his attitude towards his daughter and Zhang Zhen’s marriage.
Jin Yuanwai informed Zhang Zhen’s family one by one, and said that he did not want his daughter to marry Zhang Zhen. Bao Gong asked the two Mudans again what attitude they had towards Zhang Zhen’s marriage.
zhenmudan said: "My marriage with Zhang Zhen was made when I was young. I had no feelings for him. Besides, his family was in a big fire and had no place to stand. I don't agree with this marriage."
fakemudan said: "Dad has taken the initiative to marry Zhang Zhen for me. I am Zhang Lang's person. No matter how poor his family is, I will still live with him until old age. My father dislikes the poor and loves the rich, but I, Jin Mudan, never changes my heart until death, so I had a secret meeting with Zhang Lang without hiding it."
true Bao Gong said after hearing this: "This mansion has been cleared. The true love is false, and the false love is true."
false Bao Gong immediately objected: "The words are different. Don't you know that one woman will not marry two men? Since Mudan is Zhang Zhen's fiancée, she vows to live with Zhang Zhen until old age. She has deep feelings for Zhang Zhen. According to our mansion, the true love is true, and the false love is false."
Bao Gong asked Zhang Zhen to see it in the hall again. Zhang Zhen said: "Two sirs, in Zhang Zhen's opinion, the true love is the real peony, and the false love is the fake peony. Even if it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, I will be inseparable from her life and death."
In fact, the true Bao Gong has a clear mind like a mirror, and he can see the true and false peony. But he was unwilling to let those who were sentient and interested, and he couldn't stand Jin Yuanwai's father and daughter who despised the poor and loved the rich. He shirked and said, "Mr. Jin, it is really difficult for me to determine the true and false peonies in my house. Please ask me for another clever!"
Jin, Mr. Jin, said, "I heard that Mr. Bao has a demon-slaying sword, why not try it on the spot."
real Bao Gong hesitated for a moment and said, "Although my demon-slaying sword is very powerful, it cannot kill this innocent monster."
real Bao Gong did not determine the true and false peonies in my house. Jin Yuanwai had to send two Bao Gong away and asked someone to send the two peonies to their respective rooms. Yuanwai Jin was helpless and suddenly remembered Master Zhang Tian. He was a specialist in catching fairies, so he went to invite Master Zhang Tian.
Fake Peony was very anxious to learn that Jin Yuanwai wanted to invite Master Zhang Tian. She also called the aquariums to discuss and let them stop Master Zhang Tian at the right time. I'll avoid it for now.
Home a few days later, Master Zhang really came. Before he entered the Jin Mansion, he saw that the sky above the Jin Mansion was covered by demon fog. After entering the mansion, he had to cast a spell to subdue the demons. The carp spirit had already escaped from the Jin Mansion. Master Zhang set up an altar to sacrifice his ways, waved his sword in his hand, and chanted something. When Jin Yuan reported to him, "A peony has escaped from the mansion, it must be a fake."
Zhang Tianshi said, "She can't run away! I'll go and catch it now."
Zhang Zhen heard that the peony he loved escaped from the Jin Mansion, and she understood a lot in her heart, but she was sincere to herself. Even if the monster is a monster, she should love her. He shouted behind her: "Myon, Peony, wait for me, I, Zhang Zhen, are chasing you..."
Fake Peony heard Zhang Lang's shouting and could no longer walk. Zhang Zhen caught up with Mudan, and the two hugged their heads and cried. The fake Peony had to explain her life experience. Zhang Zhen hugged her and said, "My wife, I don't care whether you are a monster or a monster. I will live with you until old age. "
Fake Peony said: "Zhang Lang, this is not OK! Master Zhang Tian wants to capture me, please leave quickly. I can't let you be ruined by them, you can run away! "
Zhang Zhen pulled her tightly, and the fake peony was helpless. He reluctantly pushed Zhang Zhen to the ground and wanted to run forward again.
Zhang Tianshi caught up, and Zhang Zhen also caught up with the fake peony, and the two hugged each other. Zhang Tianshi said, "Zhang Zhen, she was transformed by the carp spirit. You should leave quickly, or you will die under the sword. "
Zhang Zhen said: "If you have the Demon-Slaying Sword, it is difficult to cut off the love between me and me. "
Zhang Tianshi said: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless." "As he said that, he was about to raise his sword.
Fake Peony said: "Tianshi, don't hurt Zhang Lang. "
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva fell from the sky with a fish basket in his hand. She hurriedly shouted, "Master Tian, please do it slowly. "As soon as Master Zhang Tian saw that it was Guanyin Bodhisattva, he took the sword. The Bodhisattva said, "She was originally a carp spirit that I have practiced for thousands of years by my side. She has not yet achieved the right result. She was also eager to think about the ordinary and slipped to the lower realm. Please give her to me, and I will deal with it myself. "Zhang Tianshi agreed.
Bodhisattva said: "Carp spirit, I ask you, are you willing to follow me to practice in heaven, or are you willing to marry Zhang Zhen as your wife. "
Carp spirit said: "The father and daughter of Jin Yuanwai despised the poor and loved the rich, and she felt sorry for Zhang Lang. I have a deep affection and friendship with him, and I wish to grow old together with him. I hope the Bodhisattva will be compassionate and fulfill his disciple's wish. "
Bodhisattva said, are you willing to discard the merits of thousands of years of cultivation?"
carp essence nodded. The Bodhisattva said, "Since that's the case, you can take off the fish skin and let him go."
carp spirit endured the pain and took off the fish skin. The Bodhisattva picked up the fish skin into the basket and disappeared in the sky. The two were surprised and happy, and their eyes were filled with tears, and they slowly walked towards the golden sun.
