Strange Marriage

Chu Xiucai from Dengzhou was only twenty-two or three years old and handsome, but his family was poor and he usually had no friends. One year, during the Qingming Festival, he and his family went to the suburbs to visit the graves of his ancestors. One of the graves was not on the same route. To save time, the family told Chu Xiucai to go to worship the ancestor alone, and then gather together.

Chu Xiucai divided some paper money tributes and went alone. Because he had been here in previous years, he was still familiar with the road. When he arrived at the grave of his ancestors, Chu Xiucai cut off the weeds and kowtowed. Because he took too much paper money for tributes, he didn't use it when he left.

Chu Xiucai wanted to leave, but when he was about to leave, he thought again, whose ancestral grave was too miserable. Suddenly, he couldn't bear it, and worshipped the remaining paper money tributes in front of the dilapidated grave, and then returned home. That night, Chu Xiucai dreamed that an old man in green clothes saluted him, my younger generation had forgotten me, but it wasn't intentional, and I can't blame them. You can sacrifice me, a lonely ghost, that really touched me. I really don't know how to repay you! Now my great-grandson is the prefect of Laizhou, and his daughter is about the size of you. I have the heart to make the decision to betroth you. I don't know what you think. Chu Xiucai replied in a dream, "Thank you for your kindness, but your great-grandson is the prefect." How can you see me as a poor scholar?

The old man smiled and said, "Youu don't know that his girl is crazy and not like an ordinary person. If you tell me about you and me again, how can he not agree? Chu Xiucai said, "Thank you for your kindness, but my family is poor." How can I marry a patient to go home? This is not appropriate. The old man laughed after listening, you can rest assured that Langzhong in this sick world can't be cured, and now there is a cyan herb on my grave. Take him home and wait until his leaves turn yellow, there will be bugs on it. At this time, the leaves will roll up the bugs. You wait three more days, take it off and fry it with water, which can cure the crazy disease. This is not a lie. Please believe me. After Chu Xiucai woke up, he felt that the dream was too real, so he went to the old man's grave to inquire. Sure enough, he saw a green seedling with a strange shape and had never seen it before, so Chu Xiucai transplanted it at home.

After some time, Chu Xiucai found out the name of the prefect of Laizhou and heard that the daughter of the prefect was a lunatic, which was no different from what the old man in the dream said. After thinking about it again and again, Chu Xiucai still went to visit the prefect. After the prefect heard about it, he was also very surprised. He hurriedly went to the grave with Xiucai to take a look, and found that what was recorded on the tombstone was consistent with his family tree. Crying, my great grandfather was a famous doctor at that time. Because of his long age, there is no trace of the tomb, and he actually visited today. He really has a spirit in the sky! After saying that, he asked Xiucai what requirements he had, and he would try his best to satisfy them. Chu Xiucai told him about the marriage, and said that this was your great grandfather's intention! After hearing this, the prefect sighed, if this is really his intention, how dare he disobey, but the little girl is crazy, how can I implicate you? Chu Xiucai smiled and said, I have known these things for a long time, and I don't dislike it, I just hope you can agree to this marriage.

When the prefect saw this, he was also very happy, so he chose an auspicious day to marry the woman to Chu Xiucai's house, and married a lot of property. The neighbors laughed at him, saying that he had found a madman to marry. Chu Xiucai did not argue with others, and took good care of the green seedlings every day. As autumn approached, he saw that the leaves were turning yellow. One day, Chu Xiucai just walked in front of the green seedlings, and saw a bug with light all over, the size of a mosquito, and stopped on the yellow leaves. At this time, the leaves suddenly rolled into a ball, and the bug was squeezed to death inside. Chu Xiucai was overjoyed when he saw this, and waited another three days before plucking the bug and frying the water, and his wife really recovered after taking it. Such a thing is really amazing.
