The Maharaja of Jiangjin County was good-natured and liked to eat things in the cup. Although his family was wealthy, his only son, Wang Cai, had an eye-catching black birthmark on his face despite his excellent eyebrows. In this way, although his family was of good character, he was still unmarried at the age of 30, and the Maharaja and his wife were very sad.
One day, the Maharaja went out to do business, and because he liked what was in the cup, he carried a bottle of wine as usual on the road. He walked into the wilderness, and it was already dusk. At this time, he was not in the village or in the store. Tired and hungry, he sat on the ground to rest, took out the wine and drank it. Suddenly, a whirlwind swayed up from far to near, and the dust was flying. The maharaja was so shocked that he covered his face with his sleeves, but the whirlwind surrounded the wine bottle for a long time and refused to disperse.
When the prince saw it, he suddenly laughed heartily and said: It turns out that you also love what's in this cup! In this way, Your Excellency and I are like-minded. Well, well, how about our brothers getting drunk today?
After saying that, he generously sprinkled the wine in the bottle on the ground. After a while, the whirlwind suddenly disappeared. The prince was also slightly drunk and saw the whirlwind leave.
When he woke up, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He was lying on a bed, the room was very luxurious, and a man in white was looking at him with a smile. Seeing him wake up, he hurriedly said: Brother is awake, how do you feel? Seeing that he was very affectionate to him, the prince couldn't help but say in amazement: I just remembered that I was drunk, but when I woke up, I was here, bothering you! Then I got up and saluted again and again.
The man in white laughed and said, Brother, since we have already worshipped brothers, why are we so polite! Worshiped brothers? The prince asked in surprise, " I just saw your face, when did I worship my brothers? The man said: Did my dear brother forget what happened just now so quickly?
To be honest, I am an alcoholic! My father was in business and my family was wealthy when I was alive, but I was as drunk as my life. When I was drunk one day, I stumbled and fell into the river and drowned! It is very pitiful to leave my wife and children behind! Fortunately, my parents are alive and my family is wealthy. After I died, I became a lonely ghost, but I never repented. I loved what was in the cup, but I had no wine to drink on weekdays, and I could only wait for Qingming. During the Mid-Yuan Festival, when my parents and wives paid homage to the river, they could satisfy their cravings.
It's just that my wife hates this oblivion that took my life, often just a little bit, so I'm very unhappy, but I can't help it. Yesterday was Qingming Festival, and I drank the wine my wife gave me, so I searched the cemetery today to see if any of them had any leftovers in the cup to satisfy my cravings.
I never expected to meet my brother here. I was overjoyed to see the wine bottle in your arms, so I disturbed my brother. I didn't expect my brother to be a generous person, and he made me drink happily! I also worshiped my brother because of my brother's love. It's really a blessing for three lifetimes! I admire my brother very much in my heart, and when I see you drunk, I carry you to the humble house to rest.
When the Maharaja heard this, he was immediately stunned and saw that although Shi Guo was a ghost, he had no difference from others except for his pale face, and was very polite and amiable! He was no longer afraid, so he explained his life experience to him. After hearing this, Shi Guo said with a solemn expression: "In this way, my brother is worried about his nephew! In this way, my younger brother can help you.
Then he told the Maharaja that there was no wine for him at home now, so he could only make tea for wine! Stay here tonight, and tomorrow he can pick some grass and trees in front of his house, and fry water at home for the king to serve. After a month, the birthmark will disappear. After listening to this, the Maharaja was half convinced. Then he thanked me again and again! One person talked a lot about ghosts for a while. It was very speculative, and I felt that I met each other too late, and I didn't go to sleep until it was ugly.
When the prince woke up, the sky was already bright, and he slept in front of a lonely grave. Remembering the scene last night, it was like a dream, so he looked in front of the grave and saw a lot of grass with white flowers, so he picked some. At this time, he had no intention of doing anything, and his heart was like an arrow. He hurried back home and ordered his servant to fry it for Wang Cai to take. His wife Wang and Wang Cai saw that the water was light yellow and tasteless, and asked him why. After listening to his account, although both of them were deeply surprised and thought it was absurd, Wang Cai had to obey.
From then on, the first thing the prince and his wife did when they got up every day was to check Wang Cai's face for any changes. But to their disappointment, the eye-catching birthmark was still on their faces. The couple were very disappointed. The Wang family often said that the prince did not know when to start making up lies to comfort them! When the prince heard this, his face did not show anger, but his heart was extremely upset.
A month later, when he went home from outside, he found that Wang Cai's birthmark , which had come to greet him, had disappeared. The whole Pan An Song jade-like appearance couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he congratulated Wang Cai again and over again. Wang Cai was inexplicable, and when he went to the room to look in the mirror, there was indeed a handsome face in the mirror.
After that, Wang Cai quickly proposed to marry a wife. On the night of the candle in the bridal chamber, the maharaja was busy for a day, very tired, lying on the bed in a trance and wanting to sleep. Suddenly Shi Guo fluttered to the bed and said with a smile: "My dear brother, today's nephew's big day, the younger brother came to beg for a bowl of wedding wine. When the Maharaja saw this, he suddenly felt guilty in his heart, and he was so happy that he could not forget his benefactor! He hurriedly got up and said with a guilty look on his face: Welcome to my little brother's humble house, I am so happy that my brother has been very dizzy because of the disappearance of his birthmark these days, and I have been busy with marriage, but I have forgotten you as a benefactor! I am really ashamed! I am ashamed! Please forgive me!
When Shi Guo heard this, he laughed heartily and said: It's a big deal for my brother! It's a trivial matter, what's the matter! We are brothers, why be so polite! Drink to your heart's content tonight! Okay, okay, the prince replied happily. Then he brought wine and food. One person and one ghost drank heavily. When the rooster crowed, Shi Guo staggered and reluctantly left with a jar of wine in his arms.
When the prince woke up, it was already dawn, and when he saw the jar of wine that had disappeared, he couldn't help laughing. Wang shi, who was asleep, woke up and hurriedly asked why he was laughing so much, and the prince told him what had happened. After listening to it, Wang shi was very emotional! Dao is such an unforgettable benefactor! After that, although the prince looked forward to Shi Guo's appearance every night, he did not come. I couldn't help but be very depressed. I felt that although he was a ghost, I sang wildly with him and talked happily. It was very speculative. I have been alive for so many years, and I have many friends, but I don't have a close friend who feels the same, understands tacitly, and talks about everything like that. I don't know how he is now! From then on, the Maharaja would bring his family to pay homage to his grave every ghost festival and peace day. Of course, he would never forget to bring him a jar of fine wine until he died.
