After the child got out of prison, I heard that Wang Muzhen saved his life, but I didn't understand what was going on in my heart. He went to the hotel to visit Wang Muzhen, asking questions and thanking him. When asked about this in the hotel, Wang Muzhen said, "There is no reason, just pity that your mother is an old man." The child was greatly frightened and said, "My mother has been dead for many years!" "Wang also thought it was strange.
In the evening, the old woman came to thank Wang Muzhen, who accused her of telling lies. The old woman said, "To tell you the truth, I am an old fox from Dongshan." I made friends with my child's father twenty years ago, and I couldn't bear to see his father cut off his children and no one filled his grave. Hearing this, Wang Sheng was awed and was about to ask a few more questions when she saw that the woman had disappeared. "。
At the beginning, Wang Muzhen's wife was very virtuous, believed in Buddhism and never ate meat. I cleaned up a clean room at home for the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Because I have no son, I burn incense and pray every day. Moreover, God is also very clever, and often gives her dreams to prevent people from opening this home, so everything in the home is done according to God's will. Later, Wang was ill, very ill, so he moved the bed to this room, arranged other bedding in the back room, and closed the door all day, as if waiting for someone. Wang Muzhen wondered, but because she was very ill and couldn't bear to hurt her, she didn't go into it. Wang's wife can't afford to be ill for two years. She often makes noise and drives others out to sleep alone in the house. Everyone else is listening quietly, as if someone were talking to her; Open the door and see, there is no one quietly. During her illness, she thought nothing but one daughter, who was only fourteen years old and never married. She urges her daughter to get married every day. Later, when her daughter got married, she had nothing to worry about, so she called Wang Muzhen to the bed and took Wang's hand and said, "Today we will say goodbye forever. When I first got sick, the Bodhisattva told me that I should die early. Because my daughter was unmarried and worried, she gave me some medicine, which delayed me for a while. Last year, the Bodhisattva returned to the South China Sea, leaving the maid Xiaomei to wait on me. I'm going to die today. I'm a poor man and I didn't give you a son. Bao Er is a child. I like him very much. I'm worried that you will marry a powerful daughter-in-law in the future. Their mother and son haven't come home yet. Xiaomei is a delicate and beautiful woman, very gentle and virtuous. You can marry her as your second wife after I die. "Wang Mu really had a concubine and gave birth to a boy named Bao Er. Wang Muzhen thought his wife's words were ridiculous and said, "You have always respected the gods. Isn't it insulting to say this now? " The wife said: "Xiaomei has served me for more than a year and is close to each other. I begged her. " Wang Muzhen asked, "Where is Xiaomei?" The wife said, "Isn't that her in the back room?" Wang Muzhen just wanted to ask again when his wife closed her eyes and died.
Wang Muzhen wakes up for his wife at night. When he heard a faint cry in the back room, he was greatly surprised and suspected a ghost. When I called the maid to open the door, I saw a beautiful sixteen-year-old woman in mourning. Everyone thinks he is a god. Let's kneel down and worship together. The woman closed her tears and helped everyone up. Wang Muzhen looked at her intently, and the woman just looked down. Wang Muzhen said to her: "If what my dead wife said is true, please go to the court immediately and accept my children's visit;" If not, I dare not think about it, so as not to blame myself. " The woman came out shyly. Climb the north hall. The king ordered the maid to move the chair to the south. Wang Muzhen bowed first, and the woman also answered; Going down, I knelt down and kowtowed in turn, and the woman received the ceremony with dignity. Only when Wang Mu's concubine really came to worship, did the woman come down to hug. Since the death of Wang Muzhen's wife, the maids, maids and servants in the family have been lazy and stealing, and the family has long been out of shape. After today's memorial service, everyone stood on both sides in silence. The woman said, "I thank my wife for her kindness, letting me stay on earth and entrusting me with housework." You should turn over a new leaf. I will let bygones be bygones, otherwise, don't say nobody cares about you! " Everybody look up. That woman is like a hanging Guanyin portrait, always blown by the wind. After listening to the woman's explanation, everyone was awed and agreed together! Women began to arrange funerals, and everything was in good order. Since then, no one dares to slack off as long as she points out topics of all sizes. Women are strict in managing internal and external affairs. Even if Wang Muzhen wants to do something, he should tell her before doing it. Although they meet several times a day, Wang Mu really dare not whisper to her.
After Wang's funeral was over, Wang Muzhen wanted to get a commission on the marriage, but he was afraid to say it himself, so he asked his concubine to make a slight gesture. The woman said, "I am entrusted by my wife, and I am duty-bound." But in marriage, you can't be careless. Mr. Huang is highly respected. If I ask him to marry, I will listen. " At this point, Yishui Huang Taifu has resigned and lived at home. He is a good friend of Wang Muzhen's parents and has close contacts. Wang Muzhen went to invite him personally, met Huang Taifu and told him the truth. Huang also felt strange, so he came to the Wangs with him. When the woman heard that Dr. Huang was coming, she hurried out to visit. When Huang Taifu met Xiaomei, he was surprised to think that she was a fairy and humbly dared not accept the gift. Then I bought her a generous dowry, held a wedding and went home. Xiaomei gave him pillows and shoes, which made the two families closer.
After marriage, Wang Muzhen has always regarded Xiaomei as a god, and she is also very serious when making out, always asking about the living conditions of Bodhisattva. Xiaomei smiled and said, "You are so stupid. How can a real man of God descend to earth to marry a layman? " Wang still asked about Xiaomei's life experience. Xiaomei said, "Don't insist! Since you regard me as a god, you will support me sooner or later, and naturally there will be no disaster. "
Xiaomei's servant is very kind and generous, not laughing or talking; But when the maids were fighting, they saw Xiaomei from a distance and immediately fell silent. Xiaomei smiled and said to them, "Do you still regard me as a god? I'm not a god! Actually, it's your wife's aunt and cousin We have been good friends since childhood. My sister missed me after her illness and secretly asked Grandma Wang of Nanzhuang to call me. Just because I am with my brother-in-law every day, I am afraid of suspicion between men and women, so I am locked in the house under the guise of God. In fact, where is God? " People still don't believe that serving her every day and observing her every move are no different from ordinary people. Since then, the legend of God has gradually subsided. But in front of those naughty handmaiden, Wang didn't get a good education when he was alive. Now Xiaomei says a word, and no one doesn't listen. Everyone said, "We don't know why. To tell the truth, we are not afraid of her.": But as long as I see her face, my heart softens, so I can't bear to go against her wishes. "
After Xiaomei was in charge of housework, after several years, the land was contiguous and there were more than 10 thousand stones in the warehouse. A few years later, Wang Muzhen's concubine gave birth to a girl and Xiaomei gave birth to a boy. The boy was born with a red dot on his arm, so he was named Xiaohong. On the day of the full moon, Xiaomei invited Wang Muzhen to give a big banquet and invited Huang Taifu. Huang Taifu also gave a generous gift, but he refused to come because he was too old. Xiaomei sent two old women to invite her, and Huang Taifu personally came to congratulate her. Xiaomei held the child in her arms, revealing the child's left arm, telling Dr. Huang why she was called Xiaohong, and repeatedly asking if the name was good. Huang Taifu smiled and said, "This red dot is Xihong. You can add a word to the name, which is Xihong." Xiaomei is very happy, thank humbly again. On this day, the sound of drum music filled the courtyard, and Fu You's relatives came and went like a busy city. Huang Taifu stayed for three days before leaving.
After Xihong's birthday, a team of chariots and horses suddenly came outside the door, saying that they would take Xiaomei back to her family. For ten years, Xiaomei didn't have any relatives or friends. Why did she suddenly have a family? Everyone is talking about it, and Xiaomei seems to have heard nothing. After I finished washing and dressing myself, I held the child in my arms and asked Wang Muzhen to send it. Wang agreed. Twenty or thirty miles away, there are no pedestrians on the road. Xiaomei stopped the car and told Wang to dismount. She said to Wang privately, "Wang Lang! Wang Lang! Isn't it tragic to meet for a short time and walk for a long time? " Wang asked in a panic what happened, and Xiaomei said, "Who do you think I am?" Wang replied, "I don't know." Xiaomei said, "In Jiangnan, you once saved a condemned man, didn't you?" The king said, "That's true." Xiaomei said, "It was my mother who cried on the road. She appreciates your loyalty and wants to repay you. Because your wife believes in Buddhism, let me pretend to be a fairy and be your concubine in return. Now fortunately, I gave birth to this child, and my wish has come true. I think you will have bad luck. I'm afraid you can't raise this child, so I'll take him away by going back to my parents' house to relieve my son's distress. When you go back, remember: if someone dies at home, you should go to Liu Di, Xihe at the first crow in the morning. When you see someone picking sunflower lanterns, you should quickly block the road and beg him to avoid getting into trouble. " Wang promised, "Yes." Asked when Xiaomei would come back, Xiaomei said, "I'm not sure. Remember what I just said. Goodbye won't be long. "When parting, hold the hand of the king and exchange tears. Then I got on the bus and left like lightning. Before Wang came home, he was out of sight.
Six or seven years later, Xiaomei has been missing. This year, the plague suddenly spread in four townships, killing many people. One of Wang Muzhen's maids was ill for three days and died. So Wang remembered what Xiaomei said before she left and began to care. On this day, he was drinking with his guests, only to get drunk and fall asleep. When he woke up, he heard a rooster crowing, so he got up quickly and went to Xihe Bank. He saw a light flashing as if he had just passed by. He hurried to catch up with it. It was a hundred paces away from the light, but the farther he chased it, the more it disappeared. He went home with great regret. A few days later, he got an acute illness and then died.
There are many scoundrels in the Wangs. Because Wang Mu really died, they bullied others. The crops and trees of Wang Muzhen's family were openly cut down, and the life of the Wang family gradually declined. Another year passed, Bao Er died again, and there was no decision at home. Rogues are also more overbearing, dividing the fields of the Wang family and taking away the cattle and horses of the Wang family; And carve up the Wangs' house, because Wang Mu really lived in it, they gathered several people and sold her to others. My concubine fell in love with her little daughter, and the mother and daughter cried bitterly, which was terrible. When I was in extreme danger, I suddenly heard a sedan chair coming outside the gate. When everyone saw it, Xiaomei led her son out of the sedan chair. Xiaomei looked around and saw so many people. She asked, "Who are these people?" My concubine cried and told her all the reasons. Xiaomei facial expression, a received a phone call from people, ordered to lock the door. The hooligans tried to resist, but they were limp and had no strength at all. Xiaomei had them tied up one by one, tied to the pillars of the corridor, and gave them three bowls of gruel every day. Then send an old servant to tell Huang Taifu, and then go into the house and cry. After crying for a while, Xiaomei said to her aunt, "This is also a few days! I was supposed to come back last month, but my mother was ill and delayed for a few days, so there was today's scene. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, our home became a ruin! " I asked my former maid again and said that they were all robbed by hooligans. Xiaomei regretted it even more! The next day, the maids heard that Xiaomei had come back and fled back by themselves. When the master and the servant met, they were all in pain.
The scoundrels tied to the post are clamoring that Xiaomei's son is not Wang Muzhen's own flesh and blood, and Xiaomei will not argue with them. Later, Dr. Huang came, and Xiaomei came out to meet her with her son. When Huang Gong saw the boy's arm, he opened the sleeve of his left arm for everyone to see. Seeing Zhu Shazhi is clear, which proves that the boy is really a descendant of Wang Muzhen. Then the lost things were inspected and registered in detail, and Huang Gong personally took them to the county magistrate. The county magistrate ordered people to arrest rogues, each with 40 boards, and strictly trace the whereabouts of things. In a few days, the fields, cattle and horses were returned to the Wangs.
When things are done, Huang Taifu wants to go home. Xiaomei led her son to kneel and kowtow, crying and saying, "I'm not from that world, uncle, you know." I entrusted this child to your uncle today. "Huang Gong said," as long as I have breath, I will try my best to take care of him. "
After Huang Gong left, Xiaomei arranged everything, left the children in the care of my concubine, prepared wine and sacrifices for herself, and went to Wang Muzhen's grave to worship. Didn't come back for a long time, people went to have a look, only saw the sacrifice, but Xiaomei was gone.
Yi Shi said: "People who don't give up their offspring will not give up their offspring. Although the situation mentioned above belongs to personnel, it is actually an act of god. When the host's family is rich, there are good friends in the seat, and a person enjoys the wealth of horses and chariots. However, after the death of the master, his family declined, and in a few years, new grass grew on the grave. Not only did his former friend refuse to take care of his survivors, but his high-ranking friend looked at his survivors, fearing that he could not walk far and hide quickly. Is it just a person or a fox who never forgets his friends and is grateful and wants to repay them? If you have a lot of wealth, I will be your housekeeper. "
