There is a scholar in Fengyang, Anhui Province, who took a bookcase to study in other places. When he left, he promised his wife that he would return in six months. But 10 months later, there was no news. His wife eagerly awaited his return.
One night, as soon as his wife lay down, she saw the moon shadow swaying outside the window screen, and her parting thoughts lingered in her heart. When he was tossing and turning, there was a beautiful woman with beaded flowers on her head, wearing a red dress, who lifted the curtain and came in. She smiled and asked, "Sister, don't you want to see Lang Jun?" The wife hurriedly got up and agreed. Beauty invites you to go with you. The wife was afraid that it would be difficult to walk away, and that beauty relieved her.
The beauty took her hand and walked out, stepping on the moonlight. The two walked about a hundred steps, and the wife felt that the beauty was walking fast and she was slow, so she asked the beauty to wait for her to go home and change her sandwich shoes. The beauty pulled her to sit on the side of the road, took off her shoes by holding her feet, and lent her clothes. The wife happily put on her shoes, but fortunately they were the right size, and they got up again and walked faster.
After some time, I saw the scholar coming over on a white mule. When the scholar saw his wife, he got out of the mule and asked, "Where are you going?" The wife said, "I am going to visit you." The scholar asked again who this beauty was. Before she could answer, the beauty covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't inquire anymore, it's not easy for the lady to run on the road, and Lang Jun rides a mule in the middle of the night, everyone must be tired to death." My house is not far from here, so please stop and rest and leave tomorrow morning. ”
A few steps away, there was a village, so everyone went together. After entering a courtyard, the beauty woke up the maid who had fallen asleep and got up to wait for the guests, and said, "The moonlight is so bright tonight, there is no need to light a fire, you can sit on the small stone bed." The scholar tied the mule to a pillar in front of the eaves and sat down. The beauty said to her wife, "My shoes are big and fit your feet, and I'm a little tired on the road, aren't they?" You can ride a mule when you get home, so please give me back your shoes. The wife thanked her again and again and returned the shoes to the beauty.
In an instant, the snacks and snacks had been arranged, and the beauty said while pouring wine: "Your husband and wife have been separated for a long time, and now they are finally reunited, and a glass of turbid wine is used to congratulate you." "The scholar also holds a wine glass in return. The host chats and laughs with the guests and has a very good relationship. The scholar just stared at the beauty, and repeatedly teased him with words about floating waves, but the husband and wife just got together, but they didn't say a word of greeting. Beauty is also affectionate, and the gossip is confusing. The wife just sat silently, pretending to be stupid.
After a long time, the two seemed to be drunk, and their words became more ambiguous. The beauty took out a big wine glass to persuade the guest, and the scholar excused himself with drunkenness, and the beauty was even more persuasive. The scholar smiled and said, "You sing me a song, and I'll drink it right away." The beauty did not refuse, and immediately plucked the strings with the tooth board and began to sing.
After singing, he said with a smile: "This is a very popular ballad, not enough for you to enjoy, but because of the advocacy of the times, let's follow suit." The music and singing were soft, and the speech and demeanor were very ambiguous, and the scholar's heart was shaking, as if he could not control his feelings.
After a while, the beauty disguised herself as drunk and left the table; The scholar also stood up and followed out. A long time has passed, and they have not returned. The maid was tired, so she fell asleep in the porch. The wife sat alone, resentful and unbearable. She wanted to sneak back, but it was too dark for her to remember the way. Tossing and turning, without assertions, I couldn't help but walk to their room. As soon as I approached the window, I vaguely heard the intimate voices of the two, and then listened carefully, I heard the intimate whispers that my husband usually said to me, and confided in them to my heart's content.
When the wife reached this point, her hands trembled with anger, she couldn't bear it, and she really wanted to go out and jump into the ditch and die.
His wife was about to commit suicide in anger, when she suddenly saw her younger brother Saburo arrive on horseback. Saburo dismounted and asked, so his wife told him about it. Saburo was furious and immediately followed his sister back and broke into the courtyard directly. The door to the room was closed tightly, and the whispers of the pillow on the bed could still be heard. Saburo picked up a large rock and smashed the window, breaking several at once. Suddenly, I heard a shout from the room: "Lang Jun's head is broken!" What to do! When his wife heard this, she was shocked, and then she began to cry and said to her younger brother, "You killed Lang Jun without consulting me, what should you do now?" Saburo glared and said, "You kept crying and calling me, and just now you spit out a bad breath, and you protect him again, complaining about your brother, you are directing me like a slave!" After saying that, he turned around and left. His wife tugged at his clothes and said, "Why don't you take me away, what should I do alone?" Saburo pushed his sister to the ground and walked away.
The wife suddenly woke up, and only then did she know that it was a dream. The next day, the scholar really came back, riding on a white donkey. The wife was amazed, but did not speak. The scholar also had a dream that night, and the two of them verified that the things in the dream were completely consistent, and they were very surprised and frightened by each other.
Soon, Saburo heard that his brother-in-law had returned from afar and came to greet him. As he spoke, he said to his brother-in-law: "I had a dream last night and saw you come back, and today I see that it is really not bad, it is really a big strange thing." The scholar smiled and said, "Fortunately, your big rock didn't kill me." Saburo was shocked to ask why, and the scholar told him about the situation in the dream. Saburo was even more surprised. It turned out that this night, Saburo also dreamed about the same thing. The dreams of the three people are exactly the same, but I don't know who the beauty is.
