There is a Meigu Temple in Huiji, and the goddess surnamed Ma was originally enshrined, from Dongguan. When she was not married, her fiancé died, so she vowed not to marry for the rest of her life. When she died at the age of thirty, the clan built this ancestral temple in honor of her, and honored her as Aunt Mei.
In the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, Shangyu Jin Sheng went to the exam, passed through here, entered the temple to visit, and some fantasies arose in his heart. At night, he dreamed that a maid invited him to Aunt Mei's appointment. Jin Sheng went with the maid, and when she saw Aunt Mei waiting under the eaves, she smiled and said to Jin Sheng: "Mr. Meng favors me, and I am quite attached." If Mr. does not dislike it, I am willing to commit myself to be your concubine. Jin Sheng readily agreed.
When Aunt Mei said goodbye, "Mr. will go back first, and when the seat is ready, I will greet you." After Jin Sheng woke up from the dream, he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
That night, the locals dreamed of Aunt Mei and said, "Shangyu Jinsheng has now become my husband, and you should make a statue of him." ”
The next day, the villagers talked about the same dream. The patriarch was worried that it would damage Aunt Mei's chastity, so he did not accept it. Soon, the whole family fell ill, and the patriarch was frightened, so he made a statue of Jin Sheng on the left side of the statue of Meigu.
After the statue was completed, Jin Sheng told his wife, "Aunt Mei has come to pick me up." "He was dressed and died. Jin Sheng's wife hated Aunt Mei so much that she went to the ancestral temple, pointed at the statue of Aunt Mei and scolded her, and ascended to the throne to slap Aunt Mei's cheek before leaving. To this day, the Ma family still refers to Jin Sheng as Jin Gufu.
Yi Shi said: The fiancé died and insisted on chastity, which can undoubtedly be described as loyalty. However, it is shameless to be a ghost for hundreds of years to suddenly change his morality. In general, loyal people do not necessarily live in statues in temples. This temple seems to be effective, and such a shocking act happened because of the ghost fox in the way.
