Chapter 25 Fox Marries a Daughter

Shandong Licheng Yin Shangshu, a young man is poor and courageous. There is a family house in the county, covering an area of dozens of mu. The buildings are connected, and strange things often happen. Therefore, people go to the empty building and gradually become abandoned. Over time, weeds grew everywhere. Although it was broad daylight, no one dared to enter.

One time, Mr. Yin had a banquet with his friends, and a good man joked, "Who has the courage to stay in a desert house for a night, let's give him this table." Mr. Yin jumped up and shouted, "What's the difficulty? I'll go!" After saying that, he moved into the old house with a table of banquets.

The friends sent them to the gate and said with a smile, "Brother Yin, we are waiting outside. If you encounter a ghost, you can shout for help."

Mr. Yin said, "If there is a ghost fox, just capture it as a witness." As he spoke, he walked into the house and saw that the grass was thick and the wormwood was like hemp. At that time, it was night. The first string moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight was dim yellow, and the door could be vaguely identified.

Mr. Yin groped all the way and broke into the back building. Seeing the bright and lovely platform, he immediately sat down and rested. Looking at the bright moon in the west, there is only a lingering afterglow. Sitting for a long time, there was nothing strange, and he sneered in his heart, "What bullshit fox demon rumors are all deceptive." The pillow stone on the floor, lying down to look at the morning weaver girl.

At the end of the day, Mr. Yin was tired and sleepy. Suddenly, he heard a slight sound of footsteps downstairs. In the silence, he heard it clearly and uploaded it all the way along the stone steps.

Mr. Yin was overjoyed in his heart, "The master is finally here." When I peeped, I saw a woman in blue carrying a lotus lamp. Suddenly, I saw the young man's face. She was shocked and retreated and whispered, "There is a stranger."

Under the stone steps, someone asked, "Who is it?"

The woman replied, "I don't know."

Or, an old man walked up to the platform, stared at Mr. Yin's face, and said with a smile, "This is Mr. Yin. He will be a minister in 20 years. At present, we can't wake up. We just do business. The prince has a good personality, and he may not be blamed.

He waved and led the guests into the building and opened the doors one by one. After a while, the guests gathered and shuttled back and forth. The lights upstairs were as bright as day. Mr. Yin turned around in his sleep, coughed gently, and slowly stood up.

When the old man heard the sound, he came out to check. Seeing that the prince woke up, he quickly fell to his knees and said, "The little old man is getting married tonight. He doesn't want to disturb the nobles. Please don't blame him."

Mr. Yin stretched out his hand to help the old man and said with a smile, "I don't know if there is a happy event in your house at night. I didn't have time to prepare a congratulatory gift in a hurry. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

The old man said, "The distinguished guest is coming, and the little old man is flattered. If you don't dislike it, please come into the room and drink a few glasses of water and wine. It will be glorious."

Mr. Yin was overjoyed and walked into the hall side by side with the old man. Looking at it, I saw that the furnishings in the room were luxurious and fragrant. A woman in her forties came forward to salute Wanfu. The old man said, "This is a clumsy thorn." The prince nodded and returned a bow.

Not many times later, the drums and music were played together, and a servant shouted, "The groom is here."

The old man went out to greet him. Guided by the gauze lamp outside the house, a 17- or 18-year-old teenager came slowly and saw that he was handsome and a rare beautiful man.

When the teenager entered the house, the old man pointed to Mr. Yin and ordered the young man to salute. The teenager opened his eyes and looked at him. Seeing that the prince was extraordinary, he thought he was a guest of the ceremony and greeted him politely.

Soon, there was a big banquet in the hall. Many maids and girls were dressed in pink gauze, served with wine, and were busy inside and outside. The mellow wine-flavored meat, jade bowls and gold cups, and utensils for hospitality are all treasures.

After several rounds of wine, the old man ordered the maid to invite the young lady to come out to meet the guests. He could only hear the ring Dingdong, and the bead curtain was lifted. A twenty-eight beauties came, with a phoenix hairpin in her head, a pearl pendant, and her face was peerless, and her body exuded a faint fragrance from time to time.

The girl sat down beside her mother, and the old man drank wine with Jinjue and invited the prince to drink. Jinjue is huge, a cup is full, and it can accommodate a bucket of good wine. The prince thought to himself, "This Jinjue is very valuable. It's just a waste of time to hide it for his companions to watch."

So when everyone was unprepared, he secretly put Jinjue into his sleeves, lying down on the table and pretending to be drunk, with a heavy nose. Seeing this, all the guests said, "My father-in-law is drunk."

After a while, the banquet ended, and the groom got up to say goodbye. With the sound of gongs and drums, the guests dispersed one after another. The old man ordered the maid to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but he didn't see a Jin Jue alone. He whispered in private, "It must have been stolen by Yin Xianggong."

The old man quickly shook his hand, told the maids to whisper, "Don't talk nonsense, so as not to wake up the distinguished guests and embarrass them." The maids were submissive, withdrew from the banquet, and a group of masters and servants quietly left.

People went to the tea to be cold, and there was silence on all sides. Mr. Yin stood up gently and was dark around him, but the powder and meat in the house were fragrant and did not retreat for a long time.

The East was white and it was dawn. The prince went out calmly and put his hand into his sleeve. Jin Jue was still there. There was a small crowd outside the door, and a group of friends were waiting. Seeing that the prince came out safe and sound, they all said, "Your boy must come back early at night to deceive us."

Mr. Yin smiled, talked about the strange news in the evening, took out Jinjue and gave it to everyone a closer look, and asked, "So how can I explain this thing in my hand?"

The companions thought, "Jinjue is precious, and Brother Yin's family is poor. In this way, he really lived in a haunted house for a night." Only then did I believe that what the prince said was not false.

Later, the prince was admitted as a scholar and went to Feiqiu County, Hebei Province to be an official. There was a noble family in the place. The master's surname was Zhu, and he held a banquet to meet the prince. During the banquet, the host ordered his servants to take a wine glass to treat guests, but there was no reply for a long time. The host was anxious and asked what was going on. A servant whispered, "Go back to the master, one of the eight golden glasses is missing."

The owner nodded and said, "Don't worry about this in advance. Don't you still have seven wine glasses? Bring two up."

Soon the wine glass was delivered. Mr. Yin saw that the wine glass was made of gold and carved with carved flowers, which was exactly the same as the one he had stolen from the barren house in the past. He couldn't help but be full of doubts and hurriedly asked the reason.

The owner said, "To tell you the truth, there are eight golden lords in the collection of the small family. It was created by my father when he was a Beijing official. It has been passed down from generation to generation. It is a treasure of the family and has always been reluctant to use it. Today, the adults went to the humble house and specially took it out to meet the guests. I didn't want the servant to be ordered to take it in the wooden box. There were eight golden lords, only seven left, and one of them disappeared. I thought it was a servant who stole, but the copper lock on the wooden box was still sealed and the box was full of dust, which was really difficult to explain.

Mr. Yin smiled and said, "Maybe it's Jin Jue's cultivation and flew away by himself. Coincidentally, there happens to be a Jinjue in the lower house, which is very similar to the style of your house. If you don't refuse, I will give it to you.

The banquet dispersed, and Mr. Yin returned to the mansion and ordered his servants to give Jin Jue to Master Zhu. Master Zhu looked at the game and wondered, "This Jinjue is obviously the one I lost." So I went to Yin's house to ask for the reason.

Mr. Yin laughed and said that the story of meeting a fox in the barren house was originally said, and Master Zhu suddenly realized, "It turns out that everything is a fox demon. Hey, this fox demon is not small. It's easy to take things thousands of miles away.
