Ming Dynasty During the Jiajing period, there was a scholar in Zhejiang, and everyone called him Mr. Fu.
Mr. Fu was lively and cute when he was a child. At the age of fifteen, he had already looked handsome, handsome, handsome, handsome, and as white as snow. He looked one of the few beautiful men in the local area.
A good poem he wrote, and people around him think that Mr. Fu will definitely do something.
Just that year, the province held the imperial examination. He failed again and did not obtain the qualification to go to Beijing for the provincial examination. He felt very regretful.
So Mr. Fu decided to pay the money to buy the exam qualification and go to Beijing to participate in next year's provincial examination.
His parents usually spoiled Mr. Fu and regarded him as the pearl in his hand. They never could bear to go against his wishes, so they had to go and pack up their cars and let Mr. Fu prepare to go to the capital to take the exam.
At that time, two scholars were going to Beijing to participate in the provincial examination, one with the surname Luo and the other with the surname Niu.
Mr. Fu's parents gave them a lot of money and entrusted them to take care of Mr. Fu.
Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Niu Luo and the others: "You two take me, Mr. Fu, to the capital, and you must bring it back. As for whether you can pass the imperial examination, to be honest, I don't care much."
The two scholars nodded in agreement. After arriving in the capital, the group saw an ancient temple on the side of the road and planned to go in and have a rest.
After entering the temple, I saw an silk painting hanging on the wall of the monk's room, depicting a beauty holding a red bean in her hand, smiling slightly, and her appearance was lifelike.
Mr. Fu was fascinated by the portrait of this beautiful woman and couldn't bear to leave, so he rented the monk's room alone and lived there.
The two scholars who came with him couldn't persuade him, so they found another nearby inn, which was only one mile away. The three of them often gathered together to talk about the past and present, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
One day, Mr. Fu was waiting for two scholars in the temple, but they were gone.
In order to pass the boring time, I planned to go to the Qinlou Chuguan to visit.
But when Mr. Fu walked out of the temple gate and saw that the road was well connected, he stood at the intersection, not knowing where to go.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a group of people coming with cars and horses, and someone in front was shouting to lead the way.
Mr. Fu thinks this should be a noble person.
Inside the car is an old man with white hair, long eyebrows and big beard, wearing wide robe and sleeves, and his clothes are light and fluttering.
The old man asked Mr. Fu, "Young Master, who is your last name?"
Mr. Fu replied, "My last surname is Fu."
The old man was startled and said, "Are you Mr. Fu? I have been looking for you for several years, and I almost missed it today! I hope to go to your house now."
After saying that, the old man got out of the car and took Mr. Fu's hand enthusiastically, and walked towards the monk's room together.
The old man speaks boldly and generously, has a handsome temperament and is not aging at all.
The young master had a great time talking to the old man and became friends with the old man.
The old man said happily: "It's so good!" Then he ordered people to put on the wine and food, and prepared to have a long talk with Mr. Fu for a night and have a good drink.
During the meal, the two of them drank and had a great time. The old man introduced himself, "My surname is Hu, I am from Shaanxi. I have been in the capital for many years. I have a relationship with the young master in his previous life. If the young master does not dislike me for being old and stupid, then we will have more days to gather in the future."
Soon, the rooster cried and it was the fifth update.
The old man stood up and said goodbye. He and Mr. Fu made an appointment with him to meet in the future.
finished speaking and got out and got in the car.
Outside the temple gate, the servants waiting guard were holding a torch in front of them, and the blazing flames shone around as bright as a fire city.
The two have been in contact since then, sometimes they go to the theater in the south of the city to watch operas, and sometimes they go to the restaurant to drink and eat meat together.
This old man was very generous and tried every means to pay every time.
Sometimes Mr. Fu wants to treat him and become the master once, the old man always smiles and doesn't want to.
Soon, Mr. Fu found out that the exam was about to be taken. During this period, he only cared about having fun with the old man every day and forgot all the important things.
So Mr. Fu was about to cram for a while and review his homework to take the exam. Then the old man disappeared during this period.
One night, the old man suddenly knocked on the door and walked into Mr. Fu's study.
After sending the others away, the old man took out fourteen written test papers from his sleeve.
They have excellent literary talent and standardized writing styles, and are indeed wonderful articles. , The old man said, "These documents are hard-won. I have spent a lot of effort. You must keep the secret. It may be useful to bring them into the examination room in the future."
Mr. Fu suspected that these articles were old articles from previous generations. The old man said, "You idiot, just copy them."
repeatedly reminded him and then left quietly.
After Mr. Fu entered the examination room, he was surprised to find that the questions of the three exams were all in fourteen manuscripts, so he copied the contents and handed over the papers, and soon handed over the papers.
As soon as he left the examination room, he saw the old man running up, panting and sweating, and asked in a low voice: "Have I copied the manuscript for you?"
Mr. Fu said: "I really have no shame to write a copy this time."
The old man said: "Then you will definitely go to high school this time! Don't reveal this matter, otherwise you will have big trouble when you are known."
More than a month later, the result was revealed that Mr. Fu actually won the fourth juren.
Niu and Luo, who were with him, failed. After reading the article written by Mr. Fu, they were all surprised and said, "Is this really your article? Most people can't write such articles!"
After Mr. Fu visited the examiner, the gentleman admired Mr. Fu's talent very much, thought he was a rare talent, and sincerely advised Mr. Fu to stay in the capital and prepare to take the imperial examination.
Niu Xiucai and Luo Xiucai suggested that Mr. Fu go back to his hometown first, so Fu told them what the examiner said to him.
In fact, he doesn't want to leave the old man.
Two scholars urged Mr. Fu to go home as soon as possible day and night.
The old man seemed to have known about this for a long time, and said to Mr. Fu privately: "This problem is not difficult to solve. I have a lot of money, so I will give the two scholars some travel expenses to let them live in the capital."
Fu told the old man's words to the scholar Niu and Luo. They stayed in the capital with peace of mind and never mentioned the matter of returning to their hometown again.
One day, the old man suddenly came to visit Mr. Fu and asked him, "The young master is an outstanding talent. He is in high school in the new science exam. I happened to have a distant relative who is willing to marry his youngest daughter to you and let me be a matchmaker." Mr. Fu replied, "Thanks to my father-in-law's wrong love, I promised the daughter of a high relative, but I can't make decisions about the marriage. I have parents in my hometown, so I have to write a letter to discuss it first."
The old man seemed to see his concern and said, "Why do you go to his house with me and see how the lady is going? Then get engaged?" Mr.
thought this was a good idea, so he agreed.
Two people will go out together.
At this time, two carriages had been parked outside the door, and the old man and Mr. Fu each took one.
Healthy mule runs in front and handsome servant in back.
After crossing a few streets, I came to a luxurious mansion, which looked like a wealthy mansion.
The old man got out of the car with the help of the servant, and then asked Mr. Fu to get out of the car and enter the house.
After entering the door, I saw winding corridors and bright houses. I don’t know how many heavy doors I walked through, how many beautiful flower beds and bamboo fences I walked through, and then walked through the winding path to the hall.
The hall is decorated with a new look and is dazzling.
Pairs of dragon and phoenix candles are lit on the tables on both sides of
, and the ground is covered with a red carpet.
looks like the owner is holding an in-law party.
After the two of them sat down, they saw that the servants in front of the door were all wearing new clothes and standing neatly, but they never saw the master come out to welcome the guests.
Fu walked to the old man and asked in a low voice, "Why haven't the master arrived yet?" The old man smiled and said, "I am the master!"
Mr. Fu was shocked. Before he could ask, he saw an old woman in gorgeous clothes walking in surrounded by beautiful palace maids.
The old man said, "This is my wife."
The old lady saluted Mr. Fu and said with a smile, "Young Master is so elegant, handsome, and has the style of everyone."
The young man Fu immediately knelt down and thanked him for his praise.
After the three of them sat down, the old man said, "Actually, I have a daughter named Cui Qiao. I hope to marry me Mr. Fu. This is the fate of my previous life.
It's just that my wife feels sorry for her daughter and doesn't want to marry far away, so she tricked you.
You really make my family shine."
When Mr. Fu heard this, he felt a little inexplicable. He stood up and said, "I'm very happy to marry a pure and pure person. But I have already told you the reason. How could I get married without telling it from my parents?"
The old man smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Fu to be so pedantic!"
He asked his servant to take Mr. Fu to take a bath in the secret room.
After taking a shower, I put on a juren's dress and walked into the hall.
After a while, the tent in front of the new house was completely renewed and the band played a cheerful song. At this time, the maid walked out with red candles, incense and green gauze.
Cui Qiao is wearing beautiful clothes and jade beads, gentle and charming, and looks like a fairy.
Mr. Fu was peeking, so fascinated that he couldn't come back to his senses.
Such a beautiful world, in this warm and festive atmosphere, Mr. Fu and Cui Qiao worship the world as husband and wife. The two were very loving after marriage.
Three days after the marriage, Mr. Fu accidentally looked through Cui Qiao's carved makeup box and saw a volume of "Scented Nest Songs" inside. The handwriting was beautiful and graceful, very similar to a woman's handwriting. So he asked Cui Qiao with a smile: "Did you write such beautiful words?"
Cui Qiao said shyly: "Yes."
Mr. Fu looked at the manuscript of the poem again and found that the poet's talent was too high, not much different from the ancient talented people.
In his spare time, Mr. Fu took a bus to pass by his original residence. The monks in the temple asked him where he had been, and he casually told him a place to go.
One day, Cui Qiao said to Mr. Fu: "My parents don't have a son, only me, a daughter. My Zuoku has piled up a lot of money, and I am responsible for the door key. If you need anything, you can use it. Don't tell the two elders."
Several months have passed, and Niu and Luo went to visit Mr. Fu, but they never saw each other.
asked the monk, but the monk said he didn't know.
One day, they hid in the monk's room and waited for Mr. Fu.
When they were about to come out to ask questions, their Mr. Fu came. It happened that the young master came here, so he quickly came out to inquire. The young master knew that he could not hide the matter anymore, so he told them the truth.
The two found it strange, but they couldn't guess what was going on, so they were ready to find out, so they followed them quietly.
After that, when the young master returned to Cuiqiao's house, the two of them secretly followed behind.
When I saw the young master get off the car, I walked into an abandoned house, and after entering the door, I disappeared. Looking back, there was no trace of a car outside the door.
The two of them hurriedly ran into the abandoned house to search, but found that the house was abandoned and the road was overgrown with weeds.
is very desolate and cannot be seen by a single person.
The next day, when they met the young master again, they told the young master what they saw yesterday, saying, "This family must not be a human being. You'd better break up with them as soon as possible, otherwise you will be in danger, and we can't explain it to your parents when we go home."
The young master insisted, "It's a rich family, a big house. How could it be like the two of you said! But as you said, desolate and dilapidated, but his family has a lot of money."
As he said, the young master took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it on the ground, with a clang; I also showed the silver to the store owner, and they all said, "The bright silver is full of colors."
The two scholars were also surprised and advised Mr. Fu: "Since you often go to his house, why not hide it here to see what changes?"
The young master was silent. The two persuaded him many times, and the next day, the young master did what they said.
In more than two months, I actually received more than 2,000 taels of silver, and after taking it, they all gave it to the monk to collect it. One night, Cui Qiao frowned at the light with tears on her face and asked Mr. Fu: "I am all yours. I didn't care about anything at all, but I often saw you go out with money in the past two months, but I never saw you buy anything. Are you half-hearted about me? If so, I can only die."
After saying that, tears flowed out like river water that opened the gate.
Young Master felt embarrassed when he saw his wife's pitiful appearance. He tried to comfort and explain it many times, but Cui Qiao was still unhappy.
Young Master was embarrassed to face her and began to be scared.
Since then, Mr. Fu often returned to his residence to stay for a few days.
Cui Qiao's servant came to invite him, and he always pushed him and stopped him, and was really afraid of seeing ghosts.
One day, Mr. Fu suddenly saw the old man coming over and said to Mr. Fu very seriously: "I thought my Mr. Fu and I were in a similar mood, so I promised my only daughter to you. I think I treat you well, I think I treat you well, and this sincere heart is meticulous. If you really have any suspicion about us, then you should leave quickly without hiding like this and panic. "
The young master was told by him, he hesitating and silent.
After that, the young master went to and from his father-in-law's house intermittently for a while.
But Cuixiao often shed tears and did not drip by the pillow. Mr. Fu always sighed, looking very sad, and life lost its joy in the past.
Not long after, one day, Mr. Fu returned to the temple and was leaning against him chatting with two scholars. At this moment, the weather suddenly became gloomy, and the heavy rain with hail fell like an arrow. Lightning and thunder were roaring like a landslide.
Not long after, the rain suddenly stopped again. At this time, a woman outside the door walked into the temple with a maid.
Both of them were disheveled, their faces were covered in blood, ragged clothes, and they were in a mess.
As soon as she entered the door, she hurriedly shouted: "Is Mr. Fu here? "
The two scholars hurriedly hid the young master and then came out to answer, "Where is the young master Fu here? "The woman said, "Oh, this enemy!" "After saying that, she burst into tears.
She cried and said, "This Mr. Fu repays his grudges with kindness, which hurts my whole family. I didn't expect that the scholar's heart was so vicious.
Now he hides and refuses to see me. It seems that our relationship ends here today!
My parents violated the law because of cheating in the exam, and the whole family was killed. Only this maid and I escaped this disaster. Because we were not in essence, we were only recovered by God and punished us to go to the snow mountain to serve hard labor. We could only be released after fifty years.
Today I will say goodbye to the young master. Now the Golden Armor God is waiting outside the door, and I can't stay for a moment. "
After saying that, the woman disappeared. Niu and Luo all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
It turned out that three days ago, they secretly wrote a piece of paper, asking Mr. Fu to burn it in the Guandi Temple and sue the gods.
The next day, Mr. Fu went to his father-in-law's house again, and saw blood pouring out, even the stone steps were dyed red.
Facing this scene, the young master couldn't help but feel sad, as if he had lost his soul.
In the spring of the next year, Mr. Fu barely took the imperial examination, but failed the exam.
Finally, he had to bring the hidden silver back to his hometown. After
, three people divided the money.
Since then, Mr. Fu has never dared to go to the capital once, and he is still a juren until his death.
