Chapter 148 Wu Ziyun’s Fox Fairy Wife
It is said that in the early years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, one night in spring, Wu Ziyun, a scholar from Tongcheng, Anhui Province (now Anqing City, Anhui Province), was admiring the moon alone in the garden of his home after dinner.
Suddenly, he heard a voice in the air saying: "Wu Ziyun should get the [-]th place in this year's provincial examination!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to recite an article, the title was "What a gentleman is to the world", which sounded catchy.
Although Wu Ziyun's memory is not very good, and he could not remember everything after hearing the voice read it aloud, he felt that the article was well written. In addition, he believed that the man in the sky would not recite such an article to himself for no reason, so he also wrote an article with this title in advance. The article used a lot of good words and passages that he had remembered, to prepare for any eventuality. This question came up during the exam, so it came in handy.
Not long after, the day of the provincial examination arrived.
Wu Ziyun entered the examination room as scheduled and took the exam. When the examiner handed down the test questions, it turned out to be this.
Wu Ziyun was overjoyed and immediately completed the answer according to the article he had conceived earlier.
When the exam was over and the results were released, it turned out that Wu Ziyun had indeed passed the exam and ranked [-]th!
Soon after, Wu Ziyun took the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. He was appointed Hanlin by the imperial court and went to Hunan to take up the post of inspector (another name for admiral of academic affairs. An administrative official who inspects and supervises teaching work).
In this way, he can be regarded as smoke rising from his ancestral graves, and he has returned home with a full load.
At night, Wu Ziyun stayed in a hotel. I slept until midnight and was woken up by peeing. When he got up and wanted to take the chamber pot, as soon as he stretched out his hand, someone suddenly handed the chamber pot into his hand.
The fingers looked very slender, like a woman's hand.
Wu Ziyun was shocked. Why did a woman come into his room? He asked loudly who she was.
Just listen to the owner of the hand say: "I am the Fox Fairy! But don't be afraid, sir. I have a fate with you, and I will not harm you, but come to serve you."
After hearing this, Wu Ziyun was no longer afraid. He lit the candle and took a look, only to see a beautiful woman with a charming smile in the room.
Wu Ziyun was overjoyed without realizing it. He pulled her to bed, performed the courtesy of Zhou Gong, and married her.
After an in-depth exchange, the fox fairy and Wu Ziyun explained: "I once encountered a disaster caused by lightning. It happened that the husband's carriage passed by, and I was able to escape by hiding in the husband's car. I am grateful. There is no way to repay the kindness of the husband, so I can only come here to express my love! Now I have a premonition that the husband will have a big disaster soon, so I must take precautions in advance!"
Wu Ziyun quickly asked what kind of disaster he would encounter and how to prevent it.
The fox fairy said: "What kind of disaster is it? It is a secret that must not be leaked. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you directly. But as long as you do what I say, you can turn the disaster into a good one."
Wu Ziyun promised: "I will definitely obey my wife's words. Please let me know clearly!"
The fox fairy said: "If Lang Jun goes a little further, the next time he stays, he will definitely stay in a hotel owned by a person named Lu!"
That Lu Mou has a little daughter, whom he loves very much. He holds it in his mouth for fear of melting, holds it in his hand for fear of falling, and regards it as the apple of his eye.
That little girl is just nine years old this year. She is indeed smart, beautiful and cute. When your husband stays, he must call her out, hug her, and love her. Then he told Lu that as soon as he saw this girl, he couldn't help but feel close to her. He must be destined to her and consider her his goddaughter. And take out valuable treasures and give them to her as gifts. In this way, Lang Jun can avoid causing trouble. "
Wu Ziyun agreed wholeheartedly.
The next day, Wu Ziyun hurried until night and found a hotel to stay. After asking, he found out that the owner of the hotel was indeed named Lu, and Lu did have a nine-year-old daughter.
At this moment, Wu Ziyun admired the fox fairy so much that he did everything she said.
When it was midnight, the shop owner Lu suddenly walked into Wu Ziyun's room, took his hand and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I am the leader of the thieves. When the gentleman came out of the official office, he carried it with him There is a lot of baggage and treasure, and my minions have long noticed it and have been coveting it for a long time. Now I know that your husband is a truly respected elder, so I can't bear to seek your wealth and harm your life!"
After saying that, the shopkeeper took off the bell-ringing whip hanging on the wall and whipped it three times. Immediately there were many robbers coming in from outside.
Lu held Wu Ziyun's hand and said to the gangsters: "Wu Xueyuan is my god-in-law. You are not allowed to be rude, you are not allowed to take his money, and you are not allowed to harm his life! You must escort him home for me." "
Wu Ziyun actually survived unscathed. My heart couldn't help but be filled with gratitude to the fox fairy.
Later, Wu Ziyun's fox fairy wife failed to give birth to a son for him, and everyone in the Wu family wanted to adopt their children to him.
Wu Ziyun couldn't make up his mind, so he asked the Fox Fairy: "Who do you think should be adopted?"
The Fox Fairy answered him and said, "Good luck to the boy who herds the cows."
The next day, sure enough, there was a shepherd boy riding on the back of an ox passing by the door of Wu's house.
Wu Ziyun called him over for questioning. It turned out that this child also had a surname of Wu and was from Wu Ziyun's family.
So Wu Ziyun adopted him as his own son.
The Wu clan members were all dissatisfied because Wu Ziyun did not adopt his child. On the surface he didn't dare to say anything, but secretly he laughed at him for adopting a shepherd boy from a humble background.
After Wu Ziyun's death, his loyal and honest stepson became more cautious and protected the family business for him, and even managed Wu Ziyun's family property to become richer.
Even so, there are still those who are jealous of him because he was born as a shepherd boy, and instead of calling him by his name, they call him "Wu Niu".
I remember that once, the stepson asked for a couplet from a virgin named Fang Zhenguan (a virtuous and talented person who lived in seclusion and did not serve as an official).
Fang Zhenguan was influenced by the Wu clan and looked down on his stepson, so he wrote in a joking way:
"I often play with the moon in front of the window,
Sitting alone and playing the piano. "
The honest stepson was very happy to see the couplet, so he took it home, framed it and hung it up.
But he didn't know that this was the so-called "virgin scholar" who was secretly mocking him with the allusion of "playing the piano to a cow"!
*********************************
Paint a tiger into a cat and think:
People who love to treat others as fools are often a fool themselves!
"Wu Niu" who looks honest and honest is actually very wise and foolish!
If not, how could the Cowherd, who came from a humble background, stand out among many competitors with superior conditions and become the stepson of the Hanlin Mansion? !
