During the Zhengde period, Feng, a scholar in Guangping, was young and frivolous, and indulged in drinking and drinking. On this morning, Feng went out and met a young girl on the road, wearing a red dress, with a beautiful face. Followed by a maid, the master and the servant were running around.

Dew wetted his clothes and shoes. When Feng Sheng saw the girl at first sight, he fell in love with her. Returning drunk in the evening, he saw a temple by the roadside that had been abandoned for a long time. A woman came out of the temple, and it was the beauty in the morning.

The girl met Feng Sheng by chance and turned around to enter the temple. Feng thought to himself: The temple is a place for monks to cultivate, so why is there a woman hidden there? Thinking of this, she tied the donkey in front of the door and entered the temple to check. All she saw was broken walls and debris on the stone steps.

The grass was overgrown, and while he was hesitating, a white-haired old man walked out slowly, neatly dressed, and asked: "Where did the young master come from?" Feng Sheng said: "I occasionally passed by the ancient temple and wanted to admire the scenery. Where is my father-in-law from?

?" The old man said: "I am homeless and have settled here for the time being. It is rare for a distinguished guest to come. If you don't mind, please come in and have a cup of tea."

The two walked side by side and came to the backyard of the main hall. A stone road led to the hall. The road was clean. They entered the room with bead curtains and incense. They sat down and exchanged names. The owner called himself: "My surname is Xin."

Feng Sheng was still drunk, half drunk and half awake, and asked: "I heard that my husband has a daughter who is not yet married. I am not presumptuous and want to marry my daughter-in-law. I don't know what to do?" The old man smiled and said: "I will do this.

If you can't get the master, you have to ask your wife for advice." Feng Sheng nodded and said, "It should be so." He asked the master for pen and ink, and wrote a poem: "A thousand gold pieces of gold are spent looking for a jade pestle, and one's own hands are diligent in handling it. If Yunying wants to, she will pound the xuanshuang herself.

." The owner smiled and said nothing, passing the poems around to watch.

After a while, a maidservant said a few words in the old man's ear. The master stood up and said, "Master, sit down for a moment, and the old man will come back as soon as he leaves." He opened the curtain and entered the bedroom, and vaguely heard whispers and a few words in the inner room.

, the old man turned back immediately, Feng Sheng thought to himself: "The big thing should be done." Unexpectedly, the old man chatted here and there and kept silent about marriage. Feng Sheng became anxious and asked: "What are my father-in-law's plans? I hope I can tell you directly."

."

The old man said: "The young master is outstanding, and the old man has admired him for a long time. It's just that he has some secrets and cannot speak out." Feng Sheng said: "But it doesn't matter." The old man said: "The old man has nineteen daughters in total, twelve of whom are already married. All major marriage events are planned.

It is decided by Zhuo Jing, and I will never take part in it." Feng Sheng said: "I have no interest in such trivial matters. I only want the girl in red this morning." Old Man Xin remained silent and ignored it, but the underlying meaning was obvious:

If you want to marry my daughter, there is no way.

Suddenly he heard a soft voice coming from the room. Feng Sheng couldn't bear it any longer. He took advantage of the drunkenness and shouted: "Since we can't become husband and wife, then it's okay to see your beautiful wife." While talking,

At the same time, he opened the bead curtain and broke into the boudoir. As expected, he saw a girl in red, standing tall and graceful.

Feng Shengmao came in uninvited, and all the female family members in the house were shocked. Old Man Xin was even more furious, and ordered his servants to throw him out, flying straight into the grass, with rubble and rocks flying.

Feng Sheng was drunk and felt no pain. He could hear the donkey eating grass and chewing loudly, so he got up from the grass, got on the donkey, and staggered away. The night was so groggy that Feng Sheng made a mistake.

When we entered the deep valley, we were surrounded by the howling of wolves and the cries of owls, which were so shrill and harsh that we couldn't help but feel our hair standing on end. We looked around in confusion, and we didn't even know where we were.

Looking into the woods, the lights were flickering, and Feng Sheng thought: There must be a village here. So he went to stay, and saw a high-walled compound. He knocked on the door with a riding whip, and someone inside asked: "Who is outside, coming here in the middle of the night?"

Feng Sheng said, "I hope you've lost your way." The person who asked the question said, "Please wait a moment while I report to the master." Feng Sheng stopped and waited. After a while, a servant came out and held the donkey for him.

Feng Sheng entered the house and saw that the hall was gorgeous and the lights were bright. After sitting down for a while, a woman came out politely and asked the guest's name. Feng Sheng told the truth. After a while, several maids in green clothes held a hand.

The old lady came out and said, "The Lord is here." Feng Sheng stood up and stood up. Yu knelt down and saluted. The old lady waved her hand to stop him and asked him to take a seat. She asked, "Is the young master the grandson of Feng Yunzi?" Feng Sheng said, "That's right."

The wife said: "It turns out that you are the son of my nephew. You are in your old age and your legs and feet are inconvenient, so there is little contact between your relatives."

Feng Sheng said: "I have lost my parents since I was a child. Most of my grandfather's old friends are unknown to me. I don't know how to call the old lady?" The county prince said: "No need to ask more, you will know later." Feng Sheng did not dare to say more, thinking in his mind.

There was no clue about the origin of the master. The prince asked, "Why are you here late at night, sir?" Feng Sheng was always bold and arrogant, so he immediately described his experience in the temple in detail. The prince smiled and said, "It is a good thing for a man to marry a woman. Besides,

The young master is a famous person today, but he will not humiliate the woman. Why is the wild fox jing so arrogant? Don't worry, I will make the decision on this matter." Feng Sheng was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly.

The prince looked around and said, "I didn't know that the daughters of the Xin family were so beautiful." The maid in green clothes said, "Old man Xin has nineteen daughters in total, and they are all as beautiful as flowers. I wonder which one the young master wants to marry?" Feng Sheng said: "

The one in red is about fifteen years old." The maid said: "This is the fourteenth mother. In March, she came with her mother to pay homage to the commander-in-chief on his birthday. How could she have forgotten it?"

The prince smiled and said, "I remembered, could it be the one with a veil on her face, lotus flowers embroidered on her shoes, and spices stuffed in them?" The maid said, "That's her." The prince said, "This little girl knows how to do it.

The dress is naturally charming, but the figure is indeed slim, and the young master has good taste." Then he ordered the maid: "Go and invite the Fourteenth Lady to come." The maid took the order and left. After a short meeting, she returned and said, "The Fourteenth Lady is here.

arrive."

Feng Sheng raised his eyes and stared, only to see a woman in red, bowing down to the old lady. The county prince stretched out his hand to help her up and said, "My daughter-in-law, you are welcome." When the woman heard this, her face turned red and she stood tall.

, did not dare to say anything. The prince touched her hair and asked, "What are you doing at home recently?" The woman lowered her head and replied, "I have nothing to do, just embroidery." She looked up and saw Feng Sheng, feeling shy and uneasy.

The prince said: "This is my nephew. He has good intentions to marry the young lady. Why do you drive him out and make him get lost?" The woman bowed her head and was speechless. The prince said: "I invite the girl here for no other reason. I just want to help you."

My nephew is a matchmaker." The woman remained silent. The prince acted resolutely and immediately ordered his men to clean the bed and prepare the wedding ceremony for the two of them. The woman said in shock, "I can't make the decision in this matter, so I have to report it to my parents." The prince said, "I will make the match for you.

, will there be any mistakes?"

The woman said: "My parents would not dare to refuse the Jun Jun's order. But if we get married in such a hasty manner, even if I die, I will never agree." The Jun Jun said with a smile: "Young women should not take away ambitions. It's very good. You are worthy of being Feng."

My daughter-in-law." She picked a golden flower from her head, handed it to Feng Sheng, and said: "Put the token away, go home and choose an auspicious day, and I will send the bride to get married." Pointing to a maid, he said: "Send it to you.

Nephew, go back." The rooster crowed outside the window, and the servant brought the donkey. Feng Sheng reluctantly said goodbye. He went out for a walk, a few steps away, and when he turned around, the village was gone. Instead, he saw a dense pine forest and a few lonely graves among the tangled grass.

Feng Sheng thought for a long time and finally realized: Isn't this the tomb of Xue Shangshu?

Xue Shangshu had been dead for a long time, and he was the younger brother of Feng Sheng's grandmother, so the prince kept claiming that he was his nephew. So it is speculated that the prince is also a ghost? What about the Fourteenth Mother? Where did she come from?

Feng Sheng sighed and returned, choosing a date at random, just waiting to get married. Sometimes he couldn't help but think: "Can the ghost's words be accurate?" He went to the temple again, only to see the desolate temple, and asked the nearby people about the whereabouts of the Fourteenth Mother.
