Fushoushi legend
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a rich man in Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi. This person's name is Zhu Fu, who is usually charitable and charitable, and also likes to make friends. One of his biggest habits is to collect all kinds of strange stones.
He lived a very comfortable life, and at the age of 62, he suddenly felt stuffy and panicked when he woke up one morning. He searched for famous doctors nearby, but he didn't see a famous one. Although he also grabbed several pairs of medicines, none of them treated the disease, and his condition became more and more serious.
He lay on the bed, thinking about it, and always felt that it was because of the lack of a Shouzi stone. Because he had already collected the Fuzi Stone, but he had never seen a Shouzi Stone that satisfied him in his life, was it because of the lack of this Fang Stone? Did it lead to his own life being short-lived?
So he called his son Zhu Lin and ordered him to offer a reward for finding the stone, willing to spend 20 taels of silver to buy a Shouzi stone. After the news came out, many people held the Shouzi stone, and as a result, the old man lay on the bed and looked at it and shouted, throwing it out, it was all artificial fake stones, all fake.
Zhu Fu's condition was getting more and more serious, and his son Zhu Lin saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. So the bounty was raised to 30 taels, but a month passed, and still no real Shouzi natural stone was found.
This year, there was a flood in Henan, and many refugees from Henan arrived in Shaanxi. When Zhu Fu heard the news, he asked his son to distribute the family's grain to the refugees. Soon the family's surplus grain was all distributed, and Zhu Fu ordered his son to take Yin Liang to the county town to buy grain and come back to relieve the refugees.
On this day, Zhu Fu was uncomfortable in bed, and a ragged man came in outside the door, holding a stone in his hand. Zhu Fu fixed his eyes on it, a huge Shou character loomed on the stone, the most important thing was that the size of the stone was almost the same as the Fuzi stone he had collected before, and the material was also very close. Zhu Fu was overjoyed at the sight and jumped out of bed, and his chest did not hurt anymore.
He hurriedly ordered his son to bring 30 taels of silver to the ragged man, but the refugee resolutely refused, saying that he had fled from Henan, and when he was starving to death, he ate the grain that Zhu Lin had given him, so that he could live until now.
This stone was seen by him at the Wei River during his escape. Hearing that Zhu Fu had been looking for such a stone, he went back and took the stone to repay the Zhu family's life-saving grace and resolutely did not want anything.
Zhu Fu heard that and asked his son to arrange for this Henan person to live in his home, and from then on, when he had time, he would go to the river with this Henan person to pick up stones, and his life would be relaxed and comfortable.
The Qianlong Emperor had a hobby, that is, micro-service private visits. I heard about it on this day and appreciated it. He summoned Zhu Fu to bring the Fushou Stone to show him, and when he saw these two natural strange stones, the Qianlong Emperor Long Yan Was pleased.
As we all know, Qianlong was also a stone fool, so he rewarded Zhu Fu for his disaster relief behavior, and bought Zhu Fu's two Fushou Strange Stones at a high price, and Zhu Fu later lived until the age of 88 before passing away.
This is really true: blessed for the good, the heavens have made strange stones to prolong life. #Xi'an Headline# #文化 #
