Anecdote

Xiao Nanyuan, the concubine son of King Xiao, ranked second.Her mother was a singing girl in Yangzhou. She was very popular for a time, and she became a side concubine because of her son.However, with a very poisonous heart, he wanted to win the favor of the concubine, and made Nanyuan his son.Not long after, she got sick and died. Because the concubine hated her, she treated Nan Yuan poorly.

When Nanyuan was seven years old, he was pure and kind, not like his mother.One night, while admiring flowers in the lotus pond, he accidentally fell into the water and fell unconscious.Meng Xianren said: "A white horse is not a horse, and a beautiful woman is not a human being." For a long time, Su, lying on the couch, heard the doctor sigh and said: "The second son fell into the water to catch the cold, and I am afraid that he will not be humane in the future." When he was beaten, Nan Yuan persuaded him: "It's the destiny, how dare you implicate the innocent." Knowing that it was the aunt's trick, he ordered the little maid to push him into the pool, but he didn't care about it, but was delighted, and felt that he didn't need to be disturbed in the mansion. fight.

As a result, I became bored, chanted Buddha and chanted scriptures all day long, and lived some quiet days.The little maid hurriedly reported to the main concubine, upon hearing this, she felt a little bit guilty, and thought about the rudeness of the side concubine, and the position of the son was not secure, so she suppressed all kinds of thoughts and only took care of her a little.Seeing that food and clothing are several times better than before, Nan Yuan didn't say much.Gai Zhizheng's concubine is pitiful, and her birth mother is domineering, so it's hard to feel resentment, jealousy, or gratitude.

On the thirteenth day, Nanyuan begged repeatedly, and King Xiao Fang agreed to let him move out of the palace and live in another villa.Then he went to Qizhou, where the other village was remote, and only two or three old servants looked after him.Seeing it, Nanyuan was more happy, often wandering among the mountains and rivers, eating wild grasses and vegetables, several cups of green tea, and spending another day.I just don't know what the words "beauty on the white horse" meant in the past.

One day, when he went to the street market, he occasionally saw a fan selling horses.One of the foals was covered in welts, covered in mud, and howled endlessly.Nan Yuan couldn't bear it, so he took a close look at the horse and saw tears streaming from the eyes of the horse. He felt even more sympathetic and bought it for a hundred taels.Then I took it back to the other village, and the old servant washed the dirt, but I saw that my whole body was black, and it turned into snow white in a blink of an eye.Suddenly recalling a dream when I was young, Nan Yuan was suspicious, and ordered someone to take care of him, and he took care of everything from tying grass, drinking water, cooking, scrubbing and so on.

After several years, the foal has grown into a horse, the whole body is snow-white, good at running, and it is called Xuefeiyan.Nanyuan was very happy, and often rode out of the city to enjoy the scenery in the countryside.

Xue Feiyan is also tame, and seems to be psychic. When she sees Nan Yuan's face, she raises her head and neighs;For a long time, Nan Yuan regarded him as a friend, rather than livestock or mounts.

It was the turn of spring and summer, and the Nanyuan general was weak. On the night of his birthday, he held a banquet at the village.It was also a coincidence that a monk wandered here and knocked on the door for a night, and Nan Yuan invited him to the table.There was only rough tea and vegetarian food on the table, the monk suddenly shook his head and said: "Master's destiny is not related to Buddhism, why is he so persistent?"

Nan Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Why is there no fate?"

Hearing this, the monk laughed and got up, saying: "A good couple is together, and the world is hard to break. I don't dare to break the destiny, and I will say it here." Then he went to rest in the wing room, and did not answer again.

After pondering for a while, Nan Yuan laughed at himself and said: "I am a useless person, and I am no longer humane. How can I harm a good woman?" Sitting alone until midnight, he returned to his room, but he couldn't sleep and was upset.

The next day, the Taoist disappeared without a trace, and Nan Yuan became more anxious, so he rode a snow-flying swallow into the mountain to clear his mind.At the bank of a stream, because the horse was thirsty, he loosened the rein and let him drink water.However, Xuefeiyan looked back frequently, seeing that Nan Yuan was not paying attention, and took the opportunity to jump over the stream, and disappeared instantly.Nanyuan Fang called several times, but he didn't return, and he regretted it too late.

Unconsciously, after more than a month, he searched everywhere but could not find it. Nan Yuan lost his soul all day long, sighing and panting.Shi Bie Zhuang bought a new servant, eighteen years old, handsome and lovely, who helped in the kitchen.He seems to admire his talent and appearance, and often picks him up with his eyes when he is delivering a fast meal, with affection.However, Nan Yuan's heart is on the white horse, and he has no time to care about it, so he reprimands him and doesn't allow him to enter the house without permission.

Then the little servant was very infatuated and refused to follow his words. He thought for a while, imitating the beauty in the storybook, and recommended himself as a pillow mat.When Nanyuan went to bed, he saw a person on the couch hiding under the quilt, and said angrily, "Who are you?"Then he opened his mouth and said: "I am in admiration early, and I am willing to sleep with the master and be a loving couple."

Nan Yuanqi laughed back, and said: "Why did you fall in love early? I have never known a person like you, and you are also a new servant. If you don't ask for money, how can you dedicate yourself?"

The little servant's eyes turned red, and he muttered for a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "In the past, I was a white horse, because my master rescued me, so I didn't become lowly."

Hearing this, Nan Yuan frowned and said, "Your man, the white horse has been lost, how dare you pretend to be a fake name!" After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and wanted to leave, but the servant stood up naked, grabbed his clothes, and said, "It's all true, It's definitely not a lie." So he stood on the ground, transformed into his original body, and feared that the person would come in a different way, so he fled and returned in human form.

Knowing that what he said was true, Nan Yuan was overjoyed at first, then bowed his head and sighed, "I can't be humane. Even if you have a heart, you might as well find another ghost and make a marriage alliance."

Instantly turned into a human body, Xue Feiyan hugged her into her arms, hugged her to the couch, and said: "If, if the master agrees, it will be easy to be happy." rosy.Not long after, Xue Feiyan smiled lightly, her cheeks were flushed, and she kissed her neck.Nan Yuan burst into tears, covering his body with numbness and swelling to the bone.Although he was sick in the old days and couldn't be humane, he could be happy.

So lingering at night, until dawn.

Knowing the meaning of "a white horse is not a horse, and a beautiful woman is not a human being", Nan Yuan suddenly fell in love with Xue Feiyan.A few years later, King Xiao died, and his eldest son succeeded him.When Nanyuan heard about it, he had no sorrow or joy, but he took his family to travel around the mountains and rivers, playing in the daytime and going crazy at night.
