Feng Xian's Translation

Liu Chishui, a Pingle, grew up smart and handsome. At the age of fifteen, he was admitted to the official school to study. Because his parents died early, he wandered, indulged and neglected his studies every day. His wealth can't reach the level of a middle-class family, but he naturally likes to dress up. Even the bedding furniture at home is very exquisite and gorgeous.

One night, Liu Chishui was invited to drink, forgot to put out the candle and left. After several rounds of drinking, he remembered and hurried home. Suddenly, he heard someone whispering in the room. He leaned down and sneaked in, only to see a teenager lying in bed hugging a beautiful girl. Liu Chishui's home is near an abandoned mansion of a powerful family. Strange things often happen in the mansion. He knows in his heart that the couple are foxes, and he is not afraid. He rushed in and had a drink. "Can someone else sleep in my bed?" The two men panicked, picked up their clothes and ran naked; However, I lost a pair of purple silk trousers with a purse tied with a needle and thread on my belt. Liu Chishui was overjoyed, but he was afraid that they would steal it back, hide it in the quilt and hug it tightly. After a while, a girl with fluffy hair came in from the door and asked Liu Chishui about the lost things. Liu Chishui smiled and asked for a reward. The maid promised to give him wine, but Liu Chishui refused. The maid also said that she would give him gold, but he refused. The girl smiled and left. Then he came back and said, "My aunt said that if you want something in return, I will definitely find you a beautiful wife in return." Liu Chishui asked, "Who is your elder sister-in-law?" The maid replied, "My surname is Pi, my elder sister is nicknamed Eight Immortals, and Hu Lang is sleeping with her. My second aunt Narcissus married an official in fuchuan county. Third aunt impatiens is more beautiful than those two girls. I haven't seen it before and I'm not satisfied. " Liu Chishui was afraid that she would break her promise, so she asked to sit here and wait for news. The maid walked for a while and came back and said, "My aunt asked me to tell my husband: How can a good thing be done at once? No sooner had I told my third aunt about it than she scolded me. As long as we wait for a few days, our family is not a family that promises easily and reneges. " Liu Chishui, give it back to her.

After several days, there was no news at all. One night, Liu Chishui came home from the outside and just sat down after closing the door. Suddenly, two doors opened automatically. Two men came in with a girl in their arms and said, "Here comes the bride!" " Put it on the bed with a smile and left. Liu Chishui looked at it carefully. The girl is still sleeping and reeks of alcohol. Her red face is drunk, and her beautiful face can overwhelm all the people in the world. Liu Chishui was very happy. He took off his socks for her and gently took off his clothes while holding her body. At this time, the girl was a little awake and opened her eyes to look at Liu Chishui, but her limbs were still unable to move at will. She only said bitterly, "The prodigal girl of the Eight Immortals betrayed me!" Liu Chishui gave her a deep hug. The girl suspected that his skin was cold and said with a smile, "How about tonight? It's so cold! " Liu Chishui said, "Purple Xi, purple Xi, so cool!" So they fell in love. After a while, Feng Xian said, "The Eight Immortals are shameless. They soiled someone's mattress and traded me for her pants! I must get back at her! " Since then, impatiens has been coming for a night, and they are very affectionate.

One day, Impatiens took out a golden shovel from her sleeve and said, "This is the Eight Immortals'." A few days later, impatiens came with a pair of embroidered shoes. Embroidered shoes are inlaid with pearls and embroidered with gold thread. They were beautifully made, and Impatiens told Liu Chishui to put them out for publicity. Liu Chishui boasted about his embroidered shoes among his new friends. Everyone who asked to see them used money and wine as gifts. Since then, Liu Chishui has regarded embroidered shoes as a rare commodity. One night, Feng Xian came and said some parting words. Liu Chishui was very surprised and asked her: Feng Xian replied: "My sister hates me because of embroidered shoes, and she wants to leave here with her family and isolate me from your lover." Liu Chishui was afraid and was willing to return her shoes. Feng Xian said, "Don't give it back to her. She threatened me in this way. If I give it back to her, it's just her trick. " Liu Chishui asked, "Why don't you stay alone?" Feng Xian said, "My parents are far away, and a family of more than ten people entrusted Hu Lang to take care of them. If I don't follow, I'm afraid the gossip of the Eight Immortals will cause me trouble. " Impatiens never came again.

Two years later, Liu Chishui missed Impatiens very much. One day, he met a girl on the road, riding a horse slowly, and an old servant passed by him holding the reins. The girl turned to lift the veil and looked at him secretly. Her plump figure is beautiful. After a while, a teenager came up from behind and asked him, "who is this woman?" It seems pretty good. " Liu Chishui praised it. The boy gave him a gift and said with a smile, "I'm flattered, that's my wife." Liu Chishui apologized to him in fear and shame. The boy said, "It doesn't matter. But among the three Zhuge brothers in Nanyang, you have Wolong, and the other two villains are not worthy of praise? " Liu Chishui was surprised at his words. The boy said to him, "don't you know the man who used to sleep in your bed secretly?" Liu Chishui realized that he was Hu Lang. So they talked about each other's friendship and were very happy to talk and laugh. Hu Lang said, "My parents-in-law just got back and we are going to visit. Would you like to go with us? " Liu Chishui was very happy and followed them into the mountain. There is a mansion on the mountain, where the local people lived when they fled the war. Hu Lang dismounted and went in. After a while, several people came out to have a look and said, "Officer Liu is here, too." They entered the door and met their parents-in-law. Another teenager has arrived first, his boots and robes are gorgeous and dazzling. The father-in-law said, "This is fuchuan county's son-in-law." They greeted each other and sat down separately. After a while, wine and tea came up one after another, and everyone was laughing and very harmonious. Father-in-law said, "Today, three sons-in-law come together, which can be said to be a rare party. There are no outsiders. Tell the daughters to come out and reunite. " Soon all the sisters came out. The old man ordered to sit down next to his son-in-law. When the Eight Immortals met Liu Chishui, they just covered their mouths and laughed. Impatiens joked with her. Narcissus's appearance is almost outrageous, but she is steady and gentle. Everyone in the room is talking and laughing enthusiastically, but she just laughs with wine. So the boots and shoes staggered, the blue musk smoked people, and everyone drank happily. Liu Chishui saw all kinds of musical instruments lying beside the bed, so he picked up a flute and asked him to play a tune for his father-in-law's birthday. The old man was very happy to let those who are good at musical instruments offer their skills. Except for Xu Ding and Feng Xian, all the people in the room rushed to get the musical instruments. The Eight Immortals said, "Ding Lang is not familiar with melody, so I don't care; Are you a person who can't bend his fingers? " With that, he threw the clapper into impatiens' arms. So everyone played all kinds of songs in an endless stream. The old man was very happy and said, "The family happiness is great! You sisters can sing and dance well, why don't you try your best to perform your skills? " The Eight Immortals stood up, pulled the daffodils and said, "Impatiens always put more emphasis on words than gold, and dared not work for her. We can sing a song "Luo Fei". " Just after their singing and dancing, a maid came in with fruit on a golden plate. Everyone doesn't know the name of this fruit. The old man said, "this is a fruit brought from the real wax country, called' snail'." I caught some and sent them to xuding. Feng Xian said impatiently, "Do you like and hate your son-in-law differently because of the difference between the rich and the poor?" The old man was a little unhappy, but didn't say anything. "Dad is a guest, because Ding Lang is from another county," said the Eight Immortals. In terms of seniority, is it only Xifeng who has a son-in-law with a sour fist? " Feng Xian has been impatient, took off his gorgeous clothes, handed the drums to the maid, and sang a song "Broken Kiln" at a discount, with tears streaming down his face. After singing, he waved his sleeve and left, which made everyone unhappy. "This girl is as headstrong as ever," said the Eight Immortals. I'm going after impatiens. I don't know where I went. Embarrassed, Liu Chishui backed away. On the way, he saw impatiens sitting on the roadside. Impatiens told him to sit beside him and said to him, "You are human, too. Can't you fight for your wife? " ? Fame and fortune are all in the book, I hope you work hard! "I lifted my foot and said," I went out in a hurry, and thorns pierced my shoes. "Do you have anything I gave you before?" Liu Chishui took out embroidered shoes and impatiens put them on. Liu Chishui asked to give him his old shoes. Impatiens smiled and said, "Lang Jun is a big rascal, too! Where have you seen someone whose wife's things are still hidden in her arms? If you love me, I have something for you. " Immediately took out a mirror and gave it to him, saying, "If you want to see me, just look for it from the book;" Otherwise, if you want to meet again, there will be no days. " With that, he disappeared. Liu Chishui came home very depressed. When I took out the mirror, I saw impatiens standing with her back to the mirror, as if looking at people a hundred paces away. So I remembered Feng Xian's instructions, so I refused the guests and studied hard behind closed doors.

One day, Liu Chishui saw impatiens suddenly appear in the mirror, all smiles, so he cherished the mirror more and more. When no one is around, look at impatiens in the mirror. After more than a month, my ambition to study gradually declined, and I often forgot to go home when I was playing. When I got home, I saw the shadow of Impatiens in the mirror. She looked sad and seemed to be crying. Look at it every other day and stand on the back, just like at the beginning. Only then did I understand that it was because I neglected my study. So I studied hard behind closed doors and stayed up all night. After more than a month, the shadow of Impatiens turned outward again. From then on, Liu Chishui used this mirror to test his studies: whenever he neglected his studies, Byakki Smoker's face was sad; After several days of hard study, Byakki Smoker showed a smile on his face. So he hung the mirror in front of him day and night, as if facing the teacher. After two years of hard study, Liu Chishui was accepted as a juren. He said happily, "Now you can live up to my impatiens!" "When I looked in the mirror, I saw Impatiens' black eyebrows were bent and long, their white teeth were slightly exposed, and they were still laughing, as if they were standing in front of her. Liu Chishui liked it very much. He stared at it for a long time without moving his eyes. Suddenly Impatiens in the mirror smiled and said, "The lover in the shadow, the lover in the painting", which means today's scene. Liu Chishui looked out in surprise. It turned out that impatiens had stood beside him. He holds the hand of impatiens and greets his parents-in-law. Feng Xian said, "Since I left you, I haven't gone home, hiding in a nearby cave and sharing your hard work. "

Liu Chishui went to Fucheng for dinner, and Impatiens asked to go with him. They both went to dinner in the same car, and others across the street couldn't see her. After the banquet, when impatiens went back, she consulted Liu Chishui privately and pretended that she was Liu Chishui's daughter-in-law in the county. After impatiens came back, she began to come out to meet guests and do housework. People are surprised by her beauty, but they don't know that she is a fox.

Liu Chishui is a student of fuchuan county county magistrate. Once, he visited his teacher and met Ding Sheng. Ding Sheng warmly invited Liu Chishui to his home and gave him a generous and thoughtful reception. He said, "My in-laws have recently moved to other places. My wife is going home to visit relatives and will be back soon. I will definitely write to them, tell them the good news of your high school, and visit with them to congratulate them. " Liu Chishui suspects that Ding Sheng is also a fox. He didn't know he was the son of a big businessman in fuchuan county until he inquired about his family background carefully.

At first, one night, Ding Sheng came home from the villa and met Narcissus on his way alone. Ding Sheng saw that she was beautiful and stole a look at her. Narcissus asked to follow him on the road. Ding Sheng was so happy that he took her back to the study and lived with her. Narcissus can get in and out through the gap in the window lattice, and Ding Sheng knows that she is a fox. Narcissus said to him, "Lang Jun doesn't have to doubt me. I am willing to marry you because you are honest. " Ding Sheng doted on her, but she never married again.

When Liu Chishui returned home, he borrowed a big house abandoned by the powerful family next door to prepare accommodation for the guests who came to congratulate him. The house is clean except that there are no curtains to use. When I went to see it again after a night, the furnishings in the room were completely new. A few days later, as expected, more than 30 people came with wine and gifts, and an endless stream of horses and chariots filled the streets. Father-in-law, Ding and Hu were invited into the guest room, and impatiens invited his mother and two sisters into the inner room. The Eight Immortals said, "Little girl, now that you have money, you don't blame me for being a big matchmaker, do you? Do you still have my gold shovel and embroidered shoes? " Feng Xian knew it and gave it to the Eight Immortals, saying, "Embroidered shoes are still the same, but millions of people have seen through them." The Eight Immortals patted Impatiens on the back with embroidered shoes and said, "I'll take you to Liulang." So I threw embroidered shoes into the fire and made a wish to tell them: "the new time is like a flower, and the old time is like a flower;" I never cherished it, and Heng E came to borrow it. " Narcissus went on to say: "There was once a jade bamboo shoot in a cage, which was known by thousands of people;" If Sister E sees you, you should feel too thin. "Feng Xian lit a fire and said," Every night, if you are blue in the sky, you will be rewarded once. Leave a slender shadow and see the world. " So he put the burnt ashes in a plate and piled them into dozens of piles. When he saw Liu Chishui coming, he gave him a plate. I saw a plate full of embroidered shoes, all in the same style. The Eight Immortals rushed out and pushed the plate to the ground. There are one or two embroidered shoes on the ground. The Eight Immortals fell to the ground and blew it again, and the embroidered shoes disappeared. The next day, due to the long journey, Ding Sheng and his wife went back first. The Eight Immortals are eager to play with their sister. Father and Hu Sheng repeatedly urged her to come out of the back room at noon and go back with everyone. When I first came, the etiquette servants were very imposing, and the people who came to watch it were like going to the market. Two robbers saw such a beautiful woman fly away with her soul, so they plotted to hijack her on the road. Found that they left the village, they followed, less than a stone's throw away. The carriage ran too fast for the robbers to catch up. When I arrived at a place, there were cliffs on both sides, and the horses and chariots walked slowly. A robber caught up with them and shouted with a knife, and everyone ran away. The robber got off the horse and raised the curtains. It turned out to be an old woman sitting inside. Suspected that the girl's mother was robbed by mistake. She looked around and the flying knife cut her right arm and was tied up in an instant. The robber looked carefully and saw that the cliff was not a cliff, but the gate of Pingle County. The old woman in the car is Li Jinshi's mother and is coming back from the countryside. Another robber arrived later and the horse's leg was cut off. Soldiers guarding the city gate tied them to the Taishou yamen. Once interrogated, the robbers confessed. At that time, a thief was not caught, and it was these two people who were interrogated. In the second year, Liu Chishui was admitted to Jinshi. Impatiens declined the congratulations of their relatives and friends for fear of causing trouble. Liu Chishui will never marry another woman again. When I was promoted to Langguan, I married a concubine and gave birth to two sons.

Yi Shi said, "alas! A cold and warm attitude, whether immortal or mortal, makes no difference! Young people who don't work hard are pathetic. Unfortunately, there is no beautiful woman who is competitive and makes a sad smile in front of the mirror to encourage the spur. I am willing to send beautiful women to the world like so many immortals in the Ganges sand, so that all beings will suffer a lot less in the sea of suffering. "
