Thirty-two        Hui Niang

During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a young scholar in Liangjiazhai, Yuanyang, Henan Province. His surname was Liang Chao, who was handsome and elegant. His family was poor and he lived on a few acres of thin land. His parents saved money to support his studies. The Liang Dynasty studied hard, worked hard and made progress. He won the provincial examination in one fell swoop and passed the scholar.

When the Liang Dynasty sought an official again. When he wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam, his hometown was unfortunately flooded. The Yellow River broke its mouth, the house collapsed, and the countryside was destroyed. His parents were both lost. The Liang Dynasty was helpless when he saw the flood, and left his hometown. He followed the victims to escape and wandered to Yuncheng, Shanxi. In order to make a living, he sold books and characters in the street market during the day, barely survived, and lived in the land and temple outside the city at night.

There is a Fan Village near the Tudi Temple. There is a wealthy family in the village. The head of the household Fan Ji is over the age of time and has two grandsons of Shilong. Seeing that the Liang Dynasty was quite talented, he discussed with him and wanted to set up a private school in the village and hire him as a teacher. The Liang Dynasty was desperate and happily agreed to it.

The private school was set up in several idle rooms at the entrance of the village. The school children raised funds to repay the Liang Dynasty. More than ten children entered the school were devoted to teaching them. Since then, the Liang Dynasty has no worries about food, clothing and housing.

There is a temple in Yuncheng. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, a temple fair is held. This year, two major dramas are duet. People go to the temple to go to the temple to beg for children and burn incense. It is very lively. The school is on holiday for three days so that everyone can go to the temple fair. When the Liang Dynasty is idle, he also goes to the temple fair. He follows the crowd and walks around. When he arrives at the temple temple, he walks into the temple and sees a tall statue of Guanyin who sends his son in the middle of the hall. The hall is filled with cigarettes. Those who seek children are in rows and kneel down in turn.

Then he also burned incense and knelt down to ask for peace. After Liang worshipped, he stood up and saw the colorful paintings on the side walls of the hall. The fairies held Guanyin's paintings and looked at them briefly. The fairies were beautiful and beautiful, as if they were smiling at the audience. Liang Chao looked at them carefully and suddenly saw an ugly woman inside the fairies, with hair like yellow leaves, face like purple eggplant, teeth were exposed, and nostrils were turned up. It was really disgusting! Liang Chao thought to himself: How could Guanyin Bodhisattva use this ugly woman to accompany him? He must have done it as he wished. Liang Chao looked at him for a long time and laughed at the ugly woman in the painting.

Liang Chao returned to the temple and returned to the school. That night, Liang Chao was reading books under the lamp, and suddenly a gentle wind blew, and the lantern swayed on the desk. He felt someone enter the house. Liang Chao looked up and looked at it and was shocked. He saw the ugly girl in the painting entering the house. The ugly girl bowed and said, "Mr. Liang, don't be shocked, I have no evil intentions. Today, you are incense in the temple of the Queen Mother and stand in front of the colorful paintings. I smiled at me for a long time and I will be fond of me. I have come here and I am willing to serve the young master for life." Liang Chao stood up in shock and asked, "Who are you? Why do you recommend yourself to me?

"I'm called Huiniang, who is the maid of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I am not recommended by myself, but God's will." Liang Chao was relieved and said politely, "I am poor and hard to live by teaching, and it is difficult to take slaves and raise them." Huiniang said, "I bring my own money and make a living, so there is no need for a young man to spend it." Liang Chao thought: Although this girl is ugly, she is the maid of Guanyin who sends her son Guanyin, which is not an ordinary person. She said that she is the will of God to help me. How dare I disobey her? Then she agreed to say, "Well, if you don't dislike me, please feel wronged and settle down."

Since then, Huiniang lived as a slave in the woodshed, cooking fires, washing clothes and purifying the house every day, and serving Liang Chao very diligently. One day, Liang Chao was occasionally cold and could not get up. Huiniang served in front of the bed, brought water and feeding medicine, and took good care of the care. The things that surprised Liang Chao were very surprised were Huiniang's outstanding literary talent and knew all the Four Books, Five Classics, Three Arts and Six Arts. During the Liang Chao's ill, Huiniang taught in substitute classes, which was even better than Liang Chao, and was praised by students.

When Fan Ji heard this, he was very surprised and came to visit the school. When he entered the Liang Dynasty's bedroom, he saw an ugly girl sitting in front of the bed. He asked, "Mr. Liang, who is this woman?" Liang Chao stood up, how could he say it was true. He lies, "I feel uncomfortable recently and are afraid that the serious illness is coming, so he hired this woman as a maid. He did not report to the palace and asked Mr. Fan to forgive him." After hearing this, Fan Ji was not able to ask questions, so he comforted the Liang Dynasty and asked the doctor to treat him.

Liang Dynasty had not recovered for several days, and Hui Niang was busy all day long. One day, when cleaning the house, she accidentally wiped the inkstone on the table on the ground and smashed the inkstone. This inkstone was something Liang Chao loved and was bought by Mr. Fan. Although she felt a pity, she did not blame him. Hui Niang said, "Everything is destroyed. If the old things don't leave, where will the new things come?" After being broken for several days, Hui Niang accidentally knocked down the candlelight and burned a book on the table. Liang Chao felt distressed and cried. However, he thought: Hui Niang was not intentional, and it was useless to resent it. After burning it, he stopped it. Then he comforted and said, "It's helpless to burn it, please be careful in the future."

One day and night, Hui Niang saw that Liang Chao had recovered from his illness and said to him, "Your illness has been cured. However, I have not been sympathetic to you, destroying inks and burning books. However, you have no complaints. I feel ashamed of it. I am willing to marry my ugly daughter. Is it fun?" Liang Chao said, "Although you are ugly, you are kind-hearted and can't buy a thousand gold coins. Why do you feel ashamed of it? During my illness, you teach substitutes and teach without misleading people's children. My life depends entirely on your strength. If you can marry you as your wife now, I will be lucky in my three lives!" Hui Niang laughed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liang, please look at it!" After saying that, Hui Niang shook her body and saw Hui Niang becoming a beauty. She saw her black hair, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, pink face and peach blossoms, which were extremely beautiful. She was wearing green clothes and red skirts and had a slim figure.

, with all kinds of tenderness. Liang Chao asked in surprise, "Who are you?" Hui Niang smiled and said, "I'm telling you that I am the flower fairy in the imperial garden of the Heavenly Court. Because of my hair, I accidentally knocked over the flower bed and was demoted to Guanyin Bodhisattva to atone for sins. On the day of the temple fair, you went to the temple to stand in front of the painting wall and looked at me for a long time. I was moved and admired your talent and appearance. So I came here to help him. I would like to marry you. Can you please?" Liang Chao saw Hui Niang so beautiful and affectionate, and he was overjoyed and said, "I am willing, I am willing,..." and said passionately: "Tomorrow is an auspicious day, I will marry you with my wife!" Hui Niang reminded, "You must not tell outsiders of my original body." The two of them were full of passion, hugged and kissed each other, untied their clothes and laid their belts, slept together in the same bed, and spent Wushan together.

The next day, the Liang Dynasty told Fan Yuanwai that the Liang Dynasty wanted to marry Hui Niang. When Fan Ji heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, no, even if Hui Niang is talented and has no appearance, how can he match his husband? If the gentleman marry, I can choose it for the gentleman, and all the expenses will be paid to me." However, Liang Dynasty had decided that Hui Niang would not marry him. Fan Ji was helpless and sighed, "It's better to persuade those who are obsessed with good words!"

Fan Ji then helped Liang Dynasty marry Huiniang. Since then, Huiniang still looked ugly during the day. At night, she returned to her beautiful original body and slept with Liang Dynasty and was happy. Liang Dynasty taught during the day, studied hard under the evening lamp, and prepared for the year of the competition. He wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam to seek officialdom. Huiniang saw that Liang Dynasty read all the books of sages, but her writing was not appropriate. He said, "Your Majesty, although you have read all kinds of schools of thought, but your articles are not pure. If you go to Beijing to take the exam, you will inevitably lose your name." Liang Dynasty asked for advice, "Where am I not enough? Please tell me about it." Huiniang said, "Your articles are more confident, but your spiritual energy is insufficient. You should work hard on spiritual energy in the future."

Liang Dynasty was a humble and progressive person. Since then, he was humble and asked Hui Niang for advice. Whenever he wrote an article, he would ask Hui Niang to correct him. In order to refresh his mind, Hui Niang specially prepared Gui Lingcao drinks for Liang Dynasty. Drinking them often can improve his memory and never forget them for a long time. A few months later, Liang Dynasty's writings became more and more prosperous. Hui Niang saw it and was happy and encouraged him again.

After more than a year, the emperor and the king opened a college entrance examination. Liang Dynasty said goodbye to Huiniang and went to Beijing to take the exam. Before leaving, Huiniang sent her husband a jade bead that looked like the size of a peach pit. She said that she could avoid disasters and the other was that when answering the paper, she would hold this bead in her mouth, which would make her feel surging. Liang Dynasty was dressed up and rode a horse to the north. When she arrived at the boundary of Hejian Prefecture in Jizhong, she suddenly encountered a horse robbery. The bandits surrounded him and spoke, leaving Liang Dynasty to buy money. Liang Dynasty was shocked and was holding his hands.

When he was helpless, a sudden light flashed, and the jade bead flew out of his pocket and hit the bandit's forehead. The bandit's leader fell to the ground. Yuzhu attacked several bandits again, all of whom fell to the ground and wailed. The bandits saw it and fled in fear. Liang Chao escaped from danger and went all the way to the capital. During the exam, Liang Chao held the jade beads in his mouth. Sure enough, his writing was endless, and his writing was brilliant. He won three yuan in a row and was pointed as the top scholar by the emperor. Liang Chao then became an official in the capital, and Huiniang was also taken to the capital.

Less than a year in the capital, the emperor appointed Liang Chao as the Sichuan Procuratorate. Liang Chao took office with his wife. When he passed by Yuncheng, Shanxi, he went to Fan Village to visit his benefactor Fan Ji. Fan Yuanwai welcomed him. Liang Chao was taken into the living room of Fan Mansion. After sitting down, Liang Chao pointed to the beautiful and luxurious wife and asked, "Who is Fan Wu know?" Fan Ji looked at him for a long time and shook his head but didn't know. Liang Chao smiled and explained it, "This is Hui Niang at the beginning." Fan Ji blinked and looked at him carefully, denied it. Hui Niang saw that he didn't believe it, so he brushed his face with his hand, which turned into an ugly face. He brushed his face with his hands again, and turned back to beauty. Fan Wu and his family were all surprised to see it.

Just when Fan Ji was about to ask Hui Niang who was a fairy, suddenly a silk fell from the sky and floated into the living room. When Hui Niang read it, she was shocked and saw Silk Sweetener writing: "The flower girl in the garden of the Imperial Garden is not punished and escaped from the lower world. She is here to seek pleasure. She is now destined to return to the heavenly court quickly, and there must be no mistakes!" After reading, Silk Sweetener took off her hand and returned to the air. Hui Niang was sad and said in tears: "My fate with my husband has ended. Heaven ordered me to go back. I hope my husband will take care of me." Liang Chao shouted angrily to the sky: "I will never be separated from my wife, and I will be old all over my head. Please ask the Jade Emperor to take back the imperial edict!" Hui Niang cried and said, "The destiny of heaven is difficult to violate, so you can't make mistakes." Then she arranged for him: "I see Xiulan, the daughter of Fan Yuanwai, who is beautiful and beautiful. I am a matchmaker.

You can marry him as your wife. After I leave, please set up my tablet in the school. If you encounter any trouble, you can pray to me. I will help you with all your strength..." Before he finished speaking, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, shaking the house. A strong man in golden armor appeared in the air. He waved his hammers with his hands, raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly: "I am on the order of the Jade Emperor to urge you to return to the heavenly court quickly. If you dare to disobey, I will capture him. Don't be lazy!" The strong man's voice was like thunder, shaking all over the world. Fan Ji's family hid in his head. Huiniang was afraid that he would take action and hurt Liang Chao, and shouted: "I will leave immediately!" Huiniang was helpless and reluctant to leave, shed tears and shed tears. She replied in the air three times: "My husband, please remember, please do not forget it!" Liang Chao cried bitterly, and Fan Ji's mourning voice continued.

Zun Huiniang recommended the matchmaker and chose a good day. Liang Dynasty married Fan Xiulan. Three days later, Liang Dynasty stayed to build a school and set up tablets, and took office with his newlywed wife to Sichuan.

Liang Dynasty was as loving as Hui Niang, and gave birth to her second sons Liang Hong and Liang Wei. After she grew up, her two sons worked hard to study, but failed many tests. Liang Dynasty recalled Hui Niang's words before leaving, so he took his two sons back to Fancun and went to the Book Hall to pay his help. After she worshipped her, the two sons really passed the imperial examination. In order to repay Hui Niang's kindness, the two sons built a Hui Niang Temple on the side of the school. Anyone who had no progress in his studies would pay homage to the temple. Those who were sincere would be spiritual.
