Folktale Judge brother-in-law
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Sun Jiuding in Xinzhou, the word Guozhen, Dingxiang, born in the Northern Song Dynasty Yuanfeng three years (1080), died in 1165, more than 80 years old.
His ancestral home is on the West Village of Qingshi North Street, Dingxiang County, Shanxi Province.
Although Sun Jiuding was a scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, he finally became the champion of the Jin Kingdom.
He was in the sixth year of Jintianhui (some say that it is seven years) (Taizong's year name), and his younger brother Sun Jiuchou, Sun Jiuyi, and the three of them were the same as Zhongji Youke Jinshi, that is, the champion, the list, and the flower. Sun Jiuding was appointed as the first Jinshi, that is, the champion. At that time, he was quite old.
There is also a story that has been passed down from generation to generation, which has been passed down by the time and hundreds of years to come.
In the third year of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, in 1113 AD, Sun Jiuding was just an ordinary student at that time. During this year's Qixi Festival, he was bored at home, so he temporarily decided to go out to visit his good friend Duan Junyi.
The afternoon sun was very dark, Sun Jiuding walked slowly along the sheep intestine path, just past the fork on the north bank of the Bianhe River, and suddenly heard someone shouting his name.
Sun Jiuding looked around, and sure enough, he saw that some of the tourists on both sides were waving to him.
Jiuding stepped forward to identify it carefully, and it turned out to be his brother-in-law Zhang Xu.
Looking at the brother-in-law in front of him who was wearing a purple and gold robe, and there were many followers on tall horses, he was quite surprised.
Zhang Xu dismounted, greeted Jiuding very warmly, and then pointed to a luxurious tavern not far away and said to Jiuding: "Brother Xian, how about you ask Brother Yu to have a few glasses of water and wine in this tavern?" ”
Jiuding smiled and replied: "Brother-in-law Hugh wants to make fun of the little brother, looking at your dress, you are either rich or expensive, how can you still let the shy little brother treat him?" ”
Zhang Xu raised his finger and pointed at Jiuding and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, although I have money, but Brother Fool's money can't be spent in this realm, let's spend it today!" As he spoke, he pulled Sun Jiuding into the wine shop.
The brother-in-law and brother-in-law chatted while eating, but they didn't realize that it was slowly getting dark. And Jiuding, who was chatting happily, suddenly remembered something, and was so frightened that the chopsticks in his hand "clicked" and fell on the table.
It turned out that at this moment, he remembered that his brother-in-law Zhang Shu had passed away early in the morning, did he meet a ghost today?
Jiuding boldly asked: "Brother-in-law Immortal has been dead for a long time, how can he appear here today?" Am I dying of the end of my life? ”
Zhang Shu laughed when he heard this, and when he saw Jiuding's trembling appearance, he comforted him again and again, and then said to him: "Brother Xian, what you said is right, although you and I are separated by yin and yang, I will not harm you." Not only does your yang life have a long life, but you will also have a lot of official luck in the future. ”
Jiuding put down his heart and asked about Zhang Xu's current situation.
Zhang Shu said to Jiuding: "After I passed away, in fact, Shenzhi stayed at home for three days, and I heard the funeral held for me at home and what everyone said.
Later, when the Chenghuang Division found out that I had accumulated a lot of Yin Virtue, they appointed me as the judge of the Huangcheng Division, to manage the fame and fortune of everyone in the local jurisdiction.
Last year, when I passed by the door of the house, I went home to visit your sister, but found that no one in the family thought of me. ”
When Jiuding heard that his brother-in-law was now managing the fame and fortune of the world, he was very happy and immediately asked about his future.
Zhang Shu said: "The fame of the virtuous brother is still unclear at the moment, because this kind of thing is handed down by God every ten years, and I have not seen your name on the fame book at the moment." All I know is that you will have a great fortune in the future. As for when he will be in high school, I really don't know at the moment. ”
Jiuding asked again: "You have been a good drinker and greedy for a cup all your life, and you have visited the place of Fireworks Willow Lane many times, how can you be a judge in the underworld?" ”
Zhang Shu replied: "I did these things in my life, but the small ones do not affect the great good, although I am nostalgic for the place of fireworks in my lifetime, but I spent a lot of money to redeem many poor people, everything should be aware of his heart." If a person is selfless and upright in his heart, how can it affect his future? ”
The two of them were talking, when suddenly an attendant came in and reported, "Lord Qiyu, it's time to be on duty." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Xu got up and left the tavern with Sun Jiuding, he pointed to many hurried people on the road and said to Jiuding: "These are our people from the underworld, but the people of the yang world can't see it." ”
Jiuding sent Zhang Shu to Lichun, Zhang Shu thanked him again and again, and said when he parted: "Brother Xian, go back from here, don't look back on the road." Once you look back, you will lose your longevity, and you will lose your life. Now that you are contaminated with yin qi, it will definitely cause diarrhea when you go home, please remember not to take other medicines, just take it alone. Remember, remember. ”
After the separation, Sun Jiuding slowly sobered up and began to feel very scared. Hurried to Zhuzha Lane to see Duan Junyi.
Duan Junyi saw that her friend's face was very bad, and even asked the reason. Jiuding told what happened, and Duan Junyi immediately let him drink to suppress his fright, and he didn't go home until Zhang Deng.
On the second day, Sun Jiuding really had diarrhea dozens of times, so he asked his family to find a flat stomach and eat it, and his body was ** two days later.
Sun Jiuding had no official fortune in the Great Song Dynasty, until he finally won the top prize after being exiled in the Jin Kingdom for more than ten years, and the official was the secretary and young eunuch.
