Chapter 278 Aunt Jin

There is a Meigu Temple in Huiji County. Aunt Mei's original surname was Ma. Her hometown was in Dongguan. She married a scholar as her wife. Before she passed the door, her husband died. Since then, she has been determined not to marry. At the age of 30, Miss Ma died of illness. In order to commemorate her, the people specially built an ancestral hall named Mei Gu Temple.

During the Bingshen period, Mr. Jin from Shangyu County entered the province to take the exam. He passed by the Mei Gu Temple and wandered around the temple. He looked at the statue of Mei Gu and fantasize about it. That night, Mr. Jin saw a maid in his dream and said to himself, "On Aunt Mei's order, please come to the appointment."

Mr. Jin followed the maid to the ancestral hall. Aunt Mei had already waited under the eaves and said with a smile, "I'm favored by you. If you don't dislike it, I'm willing to stay with you for a long time." Mr. Jin promised. After talking for a while, Aunt Mei waved her hand to see the guests off and told him, "Mr. Let's leave for the time being and wait for me to build a statue for you. It's like a successful day, come and greet again.

At night, the people near Mei Gu Temple had the same dream. They dreamed of Mei Gu Xianling and said, "Jin Shusheng in Shangyu County is my husband's son-in-law. Please take care of his statue." The villagers told the patriarch about this matter. The patriarch was worried about damaging Mei Gu's chastity and resolutely refused to agree. Not long after, the patriarch's family was all sick, and they were very afraid. Knowing that it was Mei Gu's spiritual punishment, he hurriedly made a statue for the scholar.

After the statue was built, the scholar said to his wife, "Aunt Mei came to pick me up." Put on your clothes and die calmly. The wife hated it so much that she went to the ancestral hall in person, pointed to the statue of Aunt Mei, scolded loudly, climbed up the throne again, bowed left and right, and slapped Aunt Mei several times in the face, and then left with hatred.

As for the scholar, because he became Aunt Mei's son-in-law, the Ma family respectfully called him "Aunt Jin".
