The first anecdote about Xinghuashi Baisha

This is an old thing in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is said that in the first year of Chonghe, Emperor Huizong had inherited the Datong for [-] years. With the meritorious service of the Western Division, Cai Jingen was added, and Cai Xiangsui entered the court three times.He also took Tong Guan as the Taibao, and Lin Lingsu as Mr. Yuanmiao, a master of the truth.Wang Fu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, was promoted in succession, and successively changed to Zuo Cheng of Shangshu and Minister of Zhongshu.Wars continued frequently in the north, and Huizong sent Wuyi doctor Ma Zhengyu Haidao to envoy Jurchen to attack Liao.Half of the country is in turmoil. After the earthquake last year, there was another solar eclipse.Therefore, the birthday of Emperor Hunyuan Shangde of Taishang was regarded as Zhenyuan Festival, which was celebrated by the world and the world was amnesty.

The war in the north is in full swing, but the south has not been affected by the flames of war, so it can still be called rich.However, under the whitewashing of peace with singing, dancing and feasting, the common people could not bear the increasing levies and miscellaneous taxes, coupled with the prosperity of Hua Shi Gang, public grievances arose everywhere.Like a piece of calm sea water, undercurrents are surging.

Baisha County, Xiuzhou is a county seat adjacent to the sea.It was night, and the magistrate He Fengzhi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

His wife, Zhou Shi, was sleeping beside her. She was already snoring, but she was awakened by his turning over. She was very annoyed, and said to the magistrate, "What's the trouble?"

He Zhixian was already unhappy, and he was even more worried about being reprimanded by Zhou's tone.However, this Zhou family is a complete tigress and cannot be provoked.His teeth itch with hatred in his heart, and he planned to get rid of this shrew sooner or later, but the words he said were flattering.

"My lady doesn't know something. Zhang Xiancheng moved to the right and invited me to a banquet. As a husband, I really..."

The Zhou family didn't want to see a man talking about his mother-in-law and mother-in-law. He was dissatisfied with his husband's displeasure on weekdays, so he asked, "Which one is Zhang Xiancheng?"

"Suzhou Mansion..."

Zhou said: "Hey - which one should I be, it turns out to be Zhang Pengshan!"

"It's him! I think he was the same age as me. He offered a stone a few days ago, and he won the great joy of the dragon's heart, and he was immediately promoted to his official position." He Zhixian finally said what he had held back for a long time.

Mrs. Zhou was puzzled, so she asked, "Stones? Don't you also send them to Beijing every day?"

"How can it be the same? That stone, huh!" He Zhixian then said sourly: "Skinny, weak in the wind and weak in the willow, with a graceful posture and very handsome. The Holy Majesty bestowed a viscount upon seeing it."

Mrs. Zhou was surprised: "Stones can also confer titles?"

"What do you know, you woman... Doesn't this title depend entirely on the meaning of the Holy Spirit?" He Zhixian came to the spirit: "Now that the Holy Spirit likes this, all the adults in the court like it, and the adults outside Beijing also like it." Everyone loves this. The whole world, hey, everyone has to love this! We don’t expect to have the same luck as that Zhang, but let’s not talk about pleasing the emperor, we have to show our face in front of Lord Zhizhou... ..."

The more He Zhixian talked, the more fascinated he became, but Zhou Shi was sleepy: "I don't understand. With so much effort, it's better to think about how to cook tomorrow."

After a while, there was another slight snoring sound in the room.

Zhou fell asleep, but He Zhixian couldn't sleep.Just now, the word "fire" in Mrs. Zhou's words reminded him of an anecdote.

There is a Wan family in Fengjingping, Baisha County, who have lived here for generations. In the past three generations, there was a privy deputy envoy.

At the end of summer more than ten years ago, there had been no rain in the county for ten days.At the third watch of the night, the night wind was thick, the south of the city suddenly caught fire for some reason, and the Wan Mansion was almost burned to the ground.Neighbors in the neighborhood rushed to rescue them one after another, but the fire was so fierce that the yard was completely burned in a short while, except for a bare stone with a piece of scorched clothes on it.How it happened, no one knows; but the stone and clothes were seen by everyone present, and it was spread all over the alley for a while, saying that the stone god appeared, and the family was punished.

This incident happened during the tenure of the predecessor of Hezhi County, and he only mentioned it while listening to the yamen servants chatting.When He Zhixian first took office, he was also invited to Wanfu for a banquet. He vaguely remembered that there was indeed a stone standing in the backyard. It was three feet three inches high and more than a foot wide.At that time, the Wan Mansion had already been rebuilt, Master Wan didn't understand stones, and just left them as waste by the side of the road.He Zhixian tried his best to recall what was particularly attractive about that stone, but in the end he couldn't remember anything.

Having said that, this stone is ordinary in appearance, but it is quite possible to make some fuss about its origin.

He Zhixian was thinking in his heart and couldn't sleep.

There is more than one strange thing about this Wanjia.

From the Wan family to the previous generation, Mr. Wan, he had a very close relationship with his wife. Unfortunately, two of the three sons died young, leaving only one single seedling.The little son Jinhua was also weak and sick when he was young. He sought medical treatment for many years but found no results, so he had to rest at home.The young master has never been outside the mansion, so he is very curious.There should be an accident, when the young master was eight years old, a servant at home made a mistake and let him slip out.Although he was found by his family later, he was unconscious.

It so happened that a blind Taoist passed by and said that it was weak from the womb and contaminated with evil spirits.Master Wan hurriedly asked Zensheng. The Taoist pointed out a bright way and asked him to find a little boy at the back door of his house. Good physical weakness disease.Everyone didn't believe it. There was only a stubborn stone at the back door, and it was connected to a dead end. Where would anyone be?

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went there, there was actually a person standing by the back door.This boy is dressed in white and has white hair, white teeth and red lips, just like a fairy boy, with a silk scarf tied around his eyes, making it difficult for people to see his full appearance.Master Wan was very surprised, but when he looked back, the Taoist priest had disappeared, only the boy was still standing in the courtyard.The Wan family hurriedly invited the little boy into the hall to entertain him and make him always serve the young master.

The little boy called himself "Gen Yue", and he didn't speak much after that.Although he wore a silk scarf over his eyes, he walked freely, which was really hard to see through.From then on, Gen Yue ate, lived and grew up with the young master, and he looked like a young man in a blink of an eye.And the young master's health has improved, he is full of energy, and his body is strong.Years ago, Mr. Wan passed away, and Mr. Wan presided over the affairs of the mansion. No one could see his old state of being a sick child.

The words are divided into two parts.

Just when Hezhi County had the idea of ​​the stone in the backyard of Wanfu, and the dream was hard to come true, there were still people in Wanfu who hadn't rested yet.

The second is to avoid talking about right and wrong at night in Wanfu

Just when Hezhi County had the idea of ​​the stone in the backyard of Wanfu, and the dream was hard to come true, there were still people in Wanfu who hadn't rested yet.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

Wan Jinhua had just fallen asleep when he heard a knock on the door.

The Wan family has been running restaurants and tea shops for many years. They have been suffering from a lot of illnesses and numerous accounts. Since Master Wan left, the livelihood of the young and old in the family depends on him alone, so he dare not slack off; It is not only the common people who are exploited layer by layer, but the merchants especially suffer from it. Not only do they have complicated taxes, but they also have to send various tributes to benefit the upper and lower levels.When Master Wan was there, he watched the business shrink a little bit, and there was nothing he could do. Sometimes he even had to take the initiative to sell part of the property, and he was worried that no one would take it over.When the family business of Wanfu was handed over to Wan Jinhua, seven or eight out of ten had already gone, that is to say, there was still some business in the local area.Wan Jinhua thought hard day and night, but he really had no solution, and could only count it as a passing moment.

Today, he was still dealing with business until late at night, and he was about to turn off the lights, and when he heard the knock on the door, he put on his clothes and got up.

A young man in white clothes and white hair stood at the door, and when he heard Wan Jinhua open the door, he showed a somewhat anxious expression on his face.The reason why it is "listening" instead of "seeing" is because the man tied a ribbon to cover his eyes.

The person who came was none other than Gen Yue who entered Wan Mansion more than ten years ago.He and Wan Jinhua lived together since they were young, shared meals at the same table, and slept together on the same bed.After Wan Jinhua became an adult, he moved into the outer wing, which was still the closest.

Wan Jinhua only felt that there was something unusual about Gen Yue tonight.In all these years, except for that time, I have never seen him so flustered.

Gen Yue was wearing a middle coat, and he obviously came here in a hurry.He adjusted his clothes slightly, made a bow, and said: "Master treats Gen Yue with a kindness that is as heavy as a mountain. Now is the time for Gen Yue to repay his kindness."

As soon as this remark came out, Wan Jinhua was startled, and even a little bit of drowsiness was awakened, not knowing what Gen Yue was talking about.Even though the Wan family treated Gen Yue well, speaking of it, Gen Yue should be kind to him.

Gen Yue said: "At that time, the emperor was obsessed with sundries and liked flowers and rocks. If the superiors are good, the inferiors must follow suit. The localities are even more violent and extortionate. They don't know how to restrain themselves. I'm afraid it will cause disaster here. I hope the master will destroy the rocks in the backyard."

"Yue Bao..." Wan Jinhua was even more surprised, and actually called out Gen Yue's childhood address.

When Gen Yue entered the Wan Mansion, it was obvious to all that the young master's health was getting better, and it was difficult for the Wan family to call him by his first name.Over the years, Wan Jinhua has regarded Gen Yue as his own brother.

He still remembered Gen Yue's inexplicable love for this stone.When he was young, a fire broke out in Wan's house, and his family fled everywhere. Only he noticed Gen Yue standing in the middle of the backyard, refusing to leave no matter what.At that time, Yue Bao was also like this, even flustered, his snow-white face was tense, biting his lips, as if he was about to cry.

...as it is now.

Gen Yue bit his lower lip, unexpectedly he was bowing down in court
