Kong Xueli, a descendant of Kong Sheng, was a generous and elegant man, and was proficient in poetry. At that time, a friend was an official in Tiantai County, and he wrote a letter to invite Kong Sheng to come for a reunion. Kong Sheng happily set off. After arriving, his friend unfortunately passed away and was in a foreign land.

Not familiar with the place where he was born, Kong Sheng was poor and had no money to return home. He had no choice but to live in Botuo Temple and make a living by copying scriptures.

A hundred steps west of the temple, there is a mansion, which is the residence of Mr. Shan. Mr. Shan was originally a son of a wealthy family, but his family was in ruins due to a lawsuit, so he had no choice but to move to the countryside. As a result, the mansion was idle and decayed without anyone to take care of it.

It snowed heavily that day and there were no pedestrians on the road. Kong Sheng happened to pass by the door of Shan's house and saw a young man who was out. He was elegant and well-mannered. The two met and greeted each other. The young man invited Kong Sheng to come into the house to talk, and Kong Sheng graciously agreed.

.

When I arrived at the mansion, I passed by many houses that were not very spacious, with brocade curtains hanging everywhere. When I came to a hall, there were many ancient paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls. There was a book on the desk called "Lang Huan's Trivial Notes".

After reading it briefly, the records were all strange and unheard of.

The two exchanged pleasantries. Kong Sheng took the lead and took it for granted that the young man was the owner of the house. He did not inquire about the young man's family background. Instead, the young man asked questions and asked about all the information about Kong Sheng in detail. He heard that Kong Sheng was homeless and homeless.

When he was wandering around, he felt very sympathetic and advised: "Brother is so talented, why don't you set up an account to accept disciples and make teaching a career?"

Kong Sheng said: "I live outside and hate that no one recommends me."

The young man said: "Brother, if you don't despise me for my foolish qualifications, I would be willing to accept you as my teacher."

Kong Sheng was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "I don't dare to be a master, but a friend." He asked the young man, "Why is your residence always locked and the door closed?"

The young man said: "This is a single mansion, which has been deserted for a long time. My surname is Huangfu, and I live in Shaanxi. Because my house was burned down by wildfire, I had nowhere to stay, so I temporarily stayed in this courtyard." Kong Sheng suddenly realized that the two of them talked and laughed happily that night.

, the young man persuaded Kong Sheng to sleep with him on the same bed.

In the early morning of the next day, Kong Sheng got up. The weather was cold at that time, but the young man was considerate and had already arranged for the children to light a charcoal fire indoors.

After a while, the book boy came in and reported, "Master is here." Confucius greeted him hurriedly, and saw an old man walking into the house, with snow-white hair on his temples, and thanked him diligently, "Sir, you don't despise children who are naughty, and you teach them knowledge with all your heart. I am very grateful to you."

. But for children who are new to graffiti, the etiquette between teachers and students should not be taken lightly. I hope that in the future, we will not talk about friendship as equals." After saying this, he ordered his subordinates to give him a coat, hat, shoes and socks as a gift to Kong Sheng. At the same time, he set up a banquet with wine and invited Kong Sheng to share.

The tables, chairs, cups and saucers during the banquet were all luxurious and dazzling, and there were many items that Kong Sheng could not even name.

After the meal, the old man said goodbye and left. The young man handed in his essay assignment. The content was all ancient poems and lyrics, without any reference to current art, and the format was not the popular eight-legged essay in society. Confucius was puzzled and asked the reason. The young man laughed.

He said: "I am studying literature for the sake of self-cultivation. I have no intention of participating in the imperial examination and seeking fame."

At dusk, the young man invited Kong Sheng to drink and said, "You can get drunk tonight and then you can rest. You can't drink anymore tomorrow." Then he said to the boy, "Go out and see if Master has slept well? If he does, wake him up."

Xiangnu comes out to accompany the guest."

The book boy took the order, and after a while, he took a pipa and entered the room. After a while, a woman came in, with bright red makeup and indescribable beauty.

The young man said to the woman: "Play a piece of music and listen to it." The girl nodded in agreement, plucked the strings with ivory, and the sound was exciting and mournful. She played a song "The Resentment of the Concubine of Hunan" with a unique tune that she had never heard before.

After the maid finished playing the song, she silently poured wine and served the guests. They drank until the third watch, and then the banquet was removed.

The next day, he got up early to study. The young man was smart and had a photographic memory. After two or three months, he was able to compose poems and lyrics. His writing style was excellent, and Confucius praised him repeatedly. The two agreed to drink wine every five days. Anyone who drank alcohol would be punished.

Xiangnu will accompany you.

That night, he was drinking heavily and Kong Sheng stared at Xiangnu without taking his eyes away. The young man understood and said: "Xiangnu was adopted by his father when he was a child. With his figure of a willow tree, he is not a beauty. Brother Kong is single. I plan day and night to find a girl for you."

Couple.

Kong Sheng said: "If you really have a partner, you must find someone like Xiangnu."

The young man smiled and said: "Brother Kong is really rare and strange. There are countless beauties in the world. Who is Xiangnu? There are many more beautiful women than her."

Half a year later, Kong Sheng and the boy met for an outing. When they walked to the door, they saw the door was closed and asked, "What door is closed in broad daylight?"

The young man said: "My father was worried that too much socializing would distract his energy, so he closed the door and thanked guests." After hearing the explanation, Kong Sheng nodded and had no doubts.

On this summer day, the weather was hot, and Kong Sheng occasionally contracted an illness. A pustule the size of a peach swelled up on his chest. After one night, the pustule grew wildly and became the size of a bowl. He moaned in pain and was very uncomfortable. The boy took care of him day and night, sleeping and eating.

They were both dead. He comforted Kong Sheng and said, "Sir, don't worry. I have a little sister named Jiaona who is good at curing all kinds of diseases. I have sent someone to invite her immediately. I will wait for my sister to arrive and I will guarantee that the disease will be cured."

While we were talking, Tong'er came to announce, "Miss Jiao Na is here, my aunt is here, and Miss Song is here."

I could hear the faint sound of footsteps outside the door, and three women walked in. A girl in the middle, about thirteen or fourteen years old, charming, smart, and graceful, was none other than Jiao Na. A woman about thirty years old on the left,

Mature and charming, that is the young aunt; the woman on the right is seventeen or eighteen years old, very beautiful, but she is Miss Song.

The young man led his sister Jiao Na to the bedside. When Kong Sheng saw the girl's face, he was so fascinated that he even forgot about her moans. The young man told his sister, "This brother Kong is my teacher, and we have the same flesh and blood. Please treat him well."

, don’t neglect it.”

Jiaona nodded shyly, gently stretched her long sleeves, stretched out her slender hand to feel Kong Sheng's pulse, and when her palms touched, Kong Sheng felt that the girl's breath was like blue, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Jiao Na smiled and said: "Brother, your friend has a rapid heartbeat and is seriously ill. But don't worry, although his condition is serious, he can still be saved. But his skin is clotted. If you want to treat it, you have to cut off the skin and flesh."

As he spoke, he took off the gold bracelet on his arm and slowly wrapped it around the affected area. The tip of the pustule protruded a few inches, higher than the bracelet, and the remaining part was tightly bound by the gold bracelet.

Jiao Na fixed the gold bracelet with her left hand, took out a paper-thin knife with her right hand, and gently cut the root of the pustule. With just one stroke, purple blood overflowed and stained the bed mat. Kong Sheng looked at the girl infatuatedly, greedy for beauty, and the knife

Even if you cut your skin, you won't feel any pain at all.

Soon, the carrion was removed. Jiao Na ordered the servant to bring water, carefully cleaned the wound for Kong Sheng, and spit out a red pill from her mouth, the size of a glass bullet, and slowly rotated close to the wound. It only made one circle, and Kong Sheng's arm

The skin feels like steaming from hot fire. After another round, the wound will become itchy. After the third round, the body is cool and refreshing, and it penetrates into the bone marrow.

Jiao Na put away the red pills and said, "The condition has recovered." She turned around and left. Kong Sheng jumped up from the bed, feeling light and healthy, and in better spirits than before. He wanted to say thank you to Jiao Na.

, but the trace of the girl’s beauty is elusive, where to look for her?

From then on, Kong Sheng missed Jiaona so much that he didn't even think about food or tea. The young man saw it and said with a smile: "Brother, there is no need for unrequited love. My brother has found a good match for you."

Kong Sheng asked, "Which girl is she from?"

The young man said: "Speaking of which, you have met this girl. She is my relative."

Kong Sheng thought for a long time and sighed: "No need. Once upon a time, the sea was difficult to deal with, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud."

The young man smiled and said: "My father admires my brother's talent and wants to marry you. But I only have one sister, who is too young. My aunt has a beloved daughter named Asong. She is eighteen years old and has peerless appearance. If you don't believe it, Song

My cousin is admiring the flowers in the garden pavilion right now, you can go and have a look."

Kong Sheng muttered: "I remembered, the last time I saw a doctor, a total of three women came. This cousin Song must be Miss Song."

The young man said: "Yes, it's her."

Kong Sheng smiled happily and said, "Okay, I'm going to see Cousin Song." When he walked to the garden pavilion, he saw Asong and Jiao Na talking and laughing together. They stared closely at Miss Song, who had beautiful eyebrows and beautiful feet.

She is really not inferior to Jiao Na, and she is in her prime. Compared with Jiao Na who is still developing, she has a more mature charm.

Kong Sheng was overjoyed and asked the young man to match him. The young man agreed and came back the next day to reply, "It's done, we will get married tonight."

That night, drum music was playing in unison, and Kong Sheng was marrying Miss Song. He saw his wife floating out of the dust, like Chang'e in the moon, and couldn't help feeling that her bones were numb and her muscles were numb. There was a lot of love in the bridal chamber, and the harmony of the Luan and the Phoenix was wonderful.

On this day, the young man said to Kong Sheng: "Brother Meng taught me knowledge. I will never forget this kindness or virtue. I recently heard that Mr. Shan has returned from the countryside. It is necessary to return the house to its original owner. From now on, you and I will go our separate ways.

I don’t know when we will have to meet again.”

Kong Sheng asked, "Where will my virtuous brother Yu go?"

The young man said: "Go all the way west, wherever you go."

Kong Sheng said: "I'll go with you."

The young man smiled and said: "My elder brother has a family and a wife, how can he wander around with his younger brother? Besides, my elder brother still has an old mother at home who needs to be taken care of, so he must not act out of loyalty."

Kong Sheng thought that what the young man said was reasonable, so he stopped talking.

After a while, Mr. Huangfu led Miss Song over. The young man held Kong Sheng's right hand and held Miss Song with the other hand, saying, "Brother, I will leave my cousin to you. Treat her well."

Mr. Huangfu didn't like to talk much, so he gave Kong Sheng a hundred taels of gold and said, "Go."

The young man said: "I will see the eldest brother off." He looked at Kong Sheng and said, "Brother, please close your eyes and don't move. I will see the eldest brother and his wife home."

Kong Sheng closed his eyes as he was told, and felt his body rising up into the air. The wind whistled in his ears. After half a cup of tea, he put his feet on the ground and heard the young man's voice: "We're here."

Kong Sheng opened his eyes and saw that he had indeed returned to his hometown. Only then did he realize that the young man and his family all possessed special powers and were by no means ordinary mortals.

Kong Sheng pushed the door open and entered the house. His mother was overjoyed. Seeing that her daughter-in-law was very beautiful, she was even more happy from ear to ear. Kong Sheng looked back and saw that the young man had already drifted away.

Miss Song lives a settled life with her husband, is virtuous and filial, is famous far and wide, and is praised by everyone.

Later, Confucius passed the Jinshi examination and went to Yan'an to serve as an official, taking his beloved wife with him. Soon after, Miss Song gave birth to a boy, named Xiaohuan.

Later, Kong Sheng offended the imperial censor Xingtai because of his outspoken words, and was dismissed from office. On this day when he was out hunting in the suburbs, he met a handsome young man on the road with a familiar face. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be Mr. Huangfu.

When old friends met, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. The young man invited Kong Sheng to his home for a chat. They went to a village with thick trees and thick shade. When he opened the house, it was magnificent and magnificent, as if he belonged to a rich and noble family. When Kong Sheng asked about Joanna's current situation, the young man said

: "The girl is already married."

Kong Sheng was disappointed, stayed for one night, and left. The next day, he brought his wife and children to visit again. Jiaona had received the message and came to greet her. When the cousins ​​met, they were always laughing and joking. Jiaona picked up Song.

The girl's son, the young eunuch, teased her gently and said with a smile: "My sister has messed up my bloodline." (It has messed up the family bloodline.)

Kong Sheng came forward to thank him for his kindness in treating the illness. Jiao Na smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for a few years. My brother-in-law has become a noble man. The wound has healed and you haven't forgotten the pain?" While he was talking, Jiao Na's husband Wu Lang also came out to pay his respects.

After staying one night, Kong Sheng said goodbye and went home.

On this day, the young man's face was full of sorrow, and he said to Kong Sheng: "A disaster has come from heaven, please help me, big brother."

Kong Sheng suddenly asked: "What's going on?"

The young man said nothing and went out. Soon he brought his sister Jiaona and the rest of his family into the hall, and fell to his knees on the ground. Kong was shocked and asked why.

The young man said: "The matter has come to this, and we can no longer hide it. I am not a human being, but a fox demon. There is a catastrophe like thunder. If I am willing to risk my life, the lives of the whole family will be saved. Otherwise, please leave with your son in your arms."

, to avoid being implicated.”

Kong Sheng said with emotion: "Who do you think I am? Needless to say, I swear to live and die with my virtuous brother. How do you want me to help?"

The young man took out a sword and said, "Brother, please hold this sword and stand in the courtyard. Don't move it despite the thunder."

Kong Sheng nodded, went out and stood upright with his sword in hand. He saw black clouds rolling in the sky. He looked back at the mansion where he lived. There were no bricks and tiles on the door, only a fox cave with a huge mouth and no bottom. Just as he was stunned, there was a loud thunderclap.

Earthquakes shook the mountains, heavy rains and strong winds blew, and old trees were uprooted and broken.

Kong Sheng was dazzled and deafened, but he was not afraid. He stood tall and motionless. Suddenly, a ferocious god appeared in the dark clouds and thick fog, with a sharp beak and sharp claws. He reached into his cave, grabbed a woman, and laughed.

Kong Sheng saw that the woman's clothes and figure looked very familiar. He took a closer look and saw that it was Jiao Na. He jumped up in a hurry and swung the sword in his hand, hitting the vital part of the ghost fairy. The ghost fairy felt pain and had to let go of Jiao Na.

, went away bitterly.

At this moment, thunder roared in the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck Kong Sheng in the middle, killing him immediately.

The clouds in Er stopped and the rain dispersed, and the weather cleared up. Jiao Na woke up leisurely and saw Kong Sheng dead beside him. She cried: "Kong Lang died for me, I can't live alone."

At this time, Miss Song, the boy and others all crawled out of the cave. Jiaona asked her cousin to hold her husband's head with her hands, use a gold hairpin to open the holes for the teeth, pinch his cheeks with her hands, and put a red pill into Kongsheng's mouth with her tongue.

, breathe mouth-to-mouth.

After blowing several times, the red pill fell into his stomach and rattled. After a while, Kong Sheng groaned and opened his eyes, as if he was waking up from a dream.

After the disaster, the family reunited. Kong Sheng said that the cave was too deep for living, so he asked everyone to return to his hometown with him. Everyone praised the idea in unison and said it was a good idea. Only Joanna was unhappy.

Kong Sheng asked Jiaona to go to his hometown with her husband Wu Lang, but he was worried that Wu Lang's parents would not let him go. While they were arguing, a servant of the Wu family came to report that "something bad happened, a thunderstorm fell from the sky, Mr. Wu's family is old"

All the young ones were killed." Jiao Na's face changed drastically when she heard this, she stamped her feet in sadness, and started to cry. After everyone persuaded her for a long time, she gradually calmed down.

After her husband died, Jiao Na was left alone and had no choice but to go to Kong Sheng's hometown to live with her brother. From then on, Kong Sheng, his wife and Jiao Na's brother and sister lived in seclusion in their hometown, drinking and playing chess in their free time, and lived a happy life.
