Chapter 162 Fox Fairy Cultivator
Chapter 162 Fox Fairy Cultivator
According to legend, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a scholar named Li in Linqiong County, Sichuan (now Qionglai City). He was very young and came from a very poor family. He had neither obtained any honors nor married, and he studied hard at home all day long.
One day, Li Sheng was too tired from studying, so he sat at home and rested for a while.
At this moment, an old gentleman suddenly came to his house.
Li Sheng was surprised. Before he could ask a question, he saw the old gentleman bowing to him and saying, "The old man calculated with his fingers that my daughter and my husband were destined in the past life! I know that my husband has not married yet, and I am willing to form a good relationship with him." !”
Li Sheng saw that it was someone who came to propose marriage, so he didn't dare to neglect him. He immediately returned the favor and politely declined, embarrassed: "Thank you, Mr., for your love! But, Mr., you have also seen that my family is too poor and we really have no money." Come and get a wife and start a family!”
The old gentleman smiled and said: "Sir, all you have to do is agree to the marriage. As for all the expenses of getting a wife, you don't need to worry about it."
Li Sheng was surprised and doubtful, but mostly happy.
He thought: People say they dream of marrying a wife, but I haven’t even dreamed yet, and this pie-in-the-sky thing is falling on my head? Regardless of whether he is true or not, just agree first and then talk about it. Anyway, I won’t suffer! Even if this old man is a liar, I have nothing I can let him lie to.
So, he hurriedly agreed.
The old gentleman was very happy and said: "Sir, please wait a moment, my daughter will be here soon!"
Sure enough, after a while, a huge team came outside to see off the bride.
There was a fragrant carriage at the front, carrying a beautiful girl.
Li Sheng took a look and found that the girl was seventeen or eighteen years old. She was very beautiful and could be described as a goddess.
The car behind was filled with the dowry she had brought, and it looked very luxurious. There are also all the desks and other household items needed in daily life, all brought.
Li Sheng was ecstatic: Is this old gentleman a god? Have you prepared the dowry so soon?
Without Li Sheng's help, the old gentleman immediately prepared flowers, candles, etc., decorated the wedding scene, and invited his son-in-law and daughter to come to the wedding hall to get married.
After the ceremony was over, the old man said to his daughter and son-in-law: "I have arranged the wedding for you. You can live a good life from now on! I'm leaving!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old gentleman disappeared. Not only that, the escorting teams also disappeared at the same time.
Li Sheng became even more suspicious: Could his father-in-law really be an immortal? Or a fox fairy?
People are in high spirits during happy events, and the doubts in Li Sheng's heart were quickly washed away by the joy of the wedding.
He couldn't wait to hold his wife's hand and enter the bridal chamber, wanting to take off her clothes and go to bed with her to perform the courtesy of Duke Zhou.
But the woman disagreed and said: "My family has never had a commoner son-in-law! I will not consummate the marriage with you until you have passed the exam!"
Li Sheng said reluctantly: "It's still early before the exam. Even if I can bear it, how can you wait so long?"
The woman said: "No! I only need to look at the articles Lang Jun has written to see if he can get the honor. In fact, you don't have to wait long!"
Li Sheng asked in surprise: "Madam, does she have such talent? By the way, my father-in-law disappeared just now. You must be gods, right?"
The woman said: "Since I am married to my husband, I won't hide it from him! I am indeed not a mortal, but a fox fairy. Because I am destined to marry my husband, I came here to get married."
Hearing this, Li Sheng was not only not afraid, but also very happy.
He took out the articles he usually wrote after reading the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" and gave them to the woman.
The woman read it carefully for a long time and said, "Does Lang Jun usually read the manuscripts of Yuan Taishi (this Yuan Taishi should refer to Mr. Yuan Mei)?"
Li Sheng replied: "Yes."
The woman said: "Yuan Taishi's writing is magnificent, which is originally beneficial to scientific examinations. You should read more. But his talent is so high that it cannot be learned by someone like Lang Jun."
Li Sheng hurriedly asked: "What should we do?"
The woman picked up her pen, changed a few sentences on Li Sheng's manuscript, and then asked Li Sheng: "Mr. Lang, do you think my concubine's style after such modifications looks like Yuan Taishi's style?"
Li Sheng took a look and said, "Like."
The woman said: "Then when you write an article in the future, you should first ask me for my opinion before you write it down. Don't do it in a haphazard manner."
Li Sheng admired the woman so much that he did everything as she said.
From then on, Li Sheng's writing, talent and thinking improved by leaps and bounds, and he passed the Jinshi examination in the Renwu year.
The woman was very filial to her mother-in-law at home and managed the housework very well. She had a deep love for Li Sheng and his wife and lived happily ever after.
Gradually, people also forgot that she was a fox fairy!
