One day in early winter, Yan ran away from home because of the string orchestra, and didn't get home until dark. When he was walking on the mountain road with the peddler's shoulder and passing through a forest, he suddenly heard the sound of reading poems in the forest, flickering in the night wind. Yan was not surprised, thinking: It's getting late, whose son is still reciting poems in this forest? Is it crazy? He put down the goods and listened carefully. I found that the sound of this book seemed to be right beside me. Yan thinks there is a ghost in the forest, and he is afraid. He got up the courage to cough twice and shouted, "Lang Lang Gan Kun, the sun, the moon and the stars are in the sky. Whose ghost is making trouble in the forest and threatening passers-by? " Come out and see me, or I'll be rude! "
When Yan drank so loudly, the sound of reading stopped abruptly. In an instant, he saw a cloud of smoke coming out of the new grave not far from his eyes, and a white-faced scholar wearing a wide robe and big sleeves appeared. The scholar looked around and asked Yan, "Brother, it's so late. Aren't you afraid of tigers, wolves and ghosts when you walk through the forest alone?" Please forgive me for disturbing you when I was reading a poem just now. "The scholar then shouted," Miss Twist, shoot a bowl of lights quickly. I want to see who this passerby is. At this time, a beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen came to Yan with a bowl of oil lamp and a scholar in her hand. She saluted. "Eldest brother was frightened just now. It's all my fault for reading poetry. I apologize. It's polite. "
After the scholar's ceremony, the girl said happily, "Didn't Lang Jun say every day that he wanted a passer-by to help you with things? If you meet this kind brother tonight, why not ask him to handle it? What are you hesitating about? " The scholar repeatedly said, "OK, OK, please ask this big brother to do three things for me."
"Do three things, three what things? I am a vendor selling needles, threads and brains. I am rude and illiterate. What can I do for you? " Yan waited for a while and asked.
"Where are the words?" The scholar smiled and said, "Brother, don't be modest. In my opinion, only you can help Xiao Sheng. " He asked Yan to sit down on the stone bench by the side of the road and humbly said to Yan, "To be honest, eldest brother, I just read a poem to get your attention. I want something, and I hope my big brother will help me generously. "
Yan unknown so stood up quietly, bowed to the scholar and said, "Son, if you want anything from me, just say so."
It turns out that this scholar is a young juren in Wancheng named Zhu Bao. More than two months ago, a new examination was held in Beijing, and he went to Beijing with two boy servants. Because there is a state official in Nanyang who is a close friend of the scholar's father, the master Zhu wrote a letter asking his son to bypass Nanyang on his way to Beijing and visit the state official Uncle Jin. Unexpectedly, Zhu Bao revealed a large sum of money, which was discovered by bandits. The gangsters ambushed Zhu Bao in the forest where they had to pass. Zhu Bao, a scholar, and his servant were stopped by bandits when they passed by. They killed Zhu Bao, a scholar, and his two servants, buried them in a newly buried grave, and then robbed them of all their belongings and fled.
At this point, scholar Zhu Bao burst into tears, and the girl standing by was also very sad. She said, "Lang Jun need not be sad. You have to make this big brother do something. Hurry up, people should hurry. "
Dry your tears, point to the girl holding the lantern and introduce to Yan: "Her name is eighteen years old. She is the owner of the new grave and my landlord. Three months ago, Miss Ma was assassinated by her stepmother and buried here. I met her in the grave and saw her elegant and intelligent, sharing my destiny. We all admire each other very much. Although we were buried in the same grave and had different coffins, we were not married by a matchmaker. Under the grave, what we lack is an iceman axe, which is very shameful. Therefore, I am eager to find a kind-hearted teacher of Yin and Yang to be our matchmaker. It is our luck and our wish to meet our eldest brother tonight. Can you ask my eldest brother to be our matchmaker? "
"I am your matchmaker?" After the scholar finished speaking, Yan inexplicably asked, "You and I are separated by Yin and Yang. How can I finish what you asked?"
"Eldest brother, don't be impatient. I have a marriage document here, which says I am willing to marry a twist girl. Let Mr. You burn this document in the Chenghuang Temple, and pray that you will match Zhu Bao and Mahua. Besides, I also have one hundred and twenty sycamore trees prepared by Miss MCA. Please buy us a big coffin, come here in the middle of the night, dig up this new grave, put our bones in the new coffin, put them together, and bury them here, and we'll be fine. If you can finish this, my wife and I will always thank you for your great kindness. " With these words, the scholar turned and took a big bag of money and handed it to Yan. He said, "Big Brother, there is plenty of money. If you buy a big coffin, you can buy land, do business and enjoy your old age. "
