Chapter 317 All Life

Chen Xiucai, Shuntianfu, was sixteen or seventeen years old, studying in a temple, but his qualifications were mediocre and he had nothing to do. There are many disciples under his name, one of whom is a scholar surnamed Zhu, who calls himself a Shandong native. He studies hard day and night and works hard. He lived in the study all year round and never went home. He asked him why and replied, "I'm so poor in my next family, and it's hard to get a chance to study. If you always go home, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

When the scholar heard this, he appreciated it very much. He wanted to accompany him, stay in the temple for a long time, and learn from each other. The scholar said, "No, our teacher has limited knowledge, and this is not a place to live for a long time. I heard that Mr. Lu is so talented. It's better to prepare a reward and worship him as a teacher. The scholar nodded in favor.

Mr. Lu was originally a Confucian student from Zhejiang Province. He was exiled and depressed, and it was difficult to return home. He was overjoyed to see the two talents coming to worship their teachers. Among them, the scholar is particularly smart, reads and can't forget it. In the blink of an eye, more than a month later, the scholar suddenly asked for leave to go home, and disappeared for more than ten days.

On this day, Xiucai accidentally went to Tianning Temple and met the scholar unexpectedly. He saw that he was working in the temple. At first glance, Xiucai was uneasy. Xiucai asked, "Why did you drop out of school halfway?" The scholar sighed and said, "I have no money and can't afford to pay the tuition, so I have to go out to do chores and earn wages every once in a while. When I save enough money, I will return to the school." Xiucai muttered, "There is no way to go on like this. You go back to study first. I'll figure it out about the tuition.

The scholar's father opened a hotel with small savings. Recently, there has been no silver at home. Naturally, it was stolen by the scholar. He was furious and scolded him severely. When the scholar heard about this, he was panicked and didn't want the scholar to be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to drop out of school.

Mr. Lv asked him the reason, and the scholar told the truth. Mr. Lv said unhappily, "Since you are poor in your family, why didn't you say it earlier?" Am I an unincisant person?" At present, he returned the remuneration as it was and said, "Don't think nonsense. I will study at ease in the future. I won't charge your tuition fee."

Half a year later, Mr. Lu's son came to Shuntian and took his father back to his hometown. After the old gentleman left, the scholar and the scholar became more and more diligent, and he was dedicated to becoming famous and outstanding. A few years after, the scholar entered the county school and said to the scholar, "There are still a few months left, which is the scientific examination. With my qualifications, I probably didn't pass the exam. What should I do?

The scholar said, "Don't worry, I'll participate in the imperial examination for you. It's easy to get the title of the golden list." Xiucai asked, "You and I are different in appearance. How can we replace it?" The scholar smiled and said, "I have my own way." On the day of the scientific examination, the scholar brought a man and said, "This is my cousin Liu Tianruo. He is hospitable. His home is not far away. You can go and sit down." While talking, he stretched out his hand and pushed the scholar. The scholar was caught off guard and fell to the ground. In an instant, his soul came out of his body. He was shocked and shouted, "What's going on?"

Liu Tianruo smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Come with me." The two came to a house and lived in it for a few days. Unconsciously, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Liu Tianruo said, "Today, there are many tourists in Li Huang's garden. Let's also go to see the bustle and send the prince home by the way." At that moment, the child prepared wine and vegetables, got up, stood up, and stepped out.

Through a sluice, there was a painting boat under the willow tree, and the two boarded the boat hand in hand. Liu Tianruo told Tong Er, "A prostitute came to the plum blossom hall recently. Go and invite her here." The child took the order and went away. After a good time, a beautiful man came and said that his surname was Li, his name was Yu Yun, and he was a famous prostitute in the capital.

Liu Tianruo ordered her to sing a song, and Li Yuyun gently showed his voice. His voice was gentle and seductive. After singing the song, the host and guest clapped his hands. Xiucai asked, "I heard that the girl wrote a song 'Huanxi yarn', which is very interesting. Can you read it?" Li Yuyun nodded and recited, "Tears filled the mirror table. When I opened the curtain, I suddenly saw my sister-in-law coming. I lowered my head and turned to look at the bow shoes. He forced the green moth to smile and frequently wipe his red sleeves and cheeks. Be careful that he is afraid of being guessed. Xiucai listened and finally praised, "Good words." Liu Tianruo said, "Words are good words, but they are too resentful."

While talking, the ship docked, and the three of them crossed the corridor. They saw that the walls on both sides were inscribed with poems. The scholar was very interested. He took a brush and engraved the word "Ruanxi Sha" on the wall. Suddenly, when the sun was setting, Liu Tianruo said, "It's not early, so I'll send the prince back."

When he came home, Liu Tianruo left. The scholar stepped into the room and saw a person walking in from outside. He looked exactly like himself. He smiled and said, "Brother Chen, are you all right?" The voice was gentle and elegant, which was made by the scholar. The scholar only heard it once, and then sensed it and shouted, "Are you brothers?"

That man was a scholar. Hearing the words, he said, "Now, I can't hide it from you anymore. At that time, I was not a human, but a ghost. Because of my deep friendship with Brother Chen, in order to repay you, I specially borrowed your body to participate in the scientific examination. Now that the exam is over, it's time for me to be reincarnated and give it back to you. Xiucai asked, "What is the result of this scientific examination?"

The scholar said, "It's a smooth sailing, and it's easy to talk about it." Xiucai begged, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. It's not too late to leave after the exam for me." The scholar said, "Brother Chen's blessing is too thin. You don't deserve the title of scholar." The scholar was silent and asked for a long time, "Where are you going to be reincarnated?" The scholar said, "Mr. Lu and I have a father-son fate. My cousin Liu Tianruo is working in Yinsi. With his help, Pluto has approved me to go to Lv's house for life." After saying that, he fell to the ground.

There was silence around. Xiucai asked, "Brothers, are you still there?" The scholar shouted, "I'm still there. Don't talk and blend with the body quickly. The scholar nodded, and his soul penetrated into his body and slowly stood up. At this moment, the light in the room flashed, and the scholar appeared again, stretched out his hands and said, "Take the pen and ink, and write a word 'Zhu' on the left and right palms of my hand, so that we can recognize each other in the future."

After finishing the handwriting, the scholar took out the wine and gave it to the scholar. The scholar shook his head and said, "Don't bother. If Brother Chen doesn't forget the old good, please come to Zhejiang to talk about it after the list is released. After saying that, he disappeared.

A few days later, Xiucai really won the exam. Now he prepares his luggage and goes to the Lu family in Zhejiang. Mr. Lu's wife, who is over 50 years old, has been unable to have children for a long time. On the day of Xiucai's visit, he suddenly gave birth to a baby boy. He clenched his hands and refused to let go. Xiucai smiled and said, "These are my friends. If he doesn't believe it, there is a word 'Zhu' on each of his hands. As soon as he finished speaking, the child spread out his hands, and there was a word "Zhu" for each.
