Whether it is the Son of Heaven or a commoner, a bully or a good person, everyone has their own dream in their hearts. When dreams can also be bought and sold, the story happens...
Sell dreams
A long time ago, I don't know which dynasty, in the capital at the foot of tianzi, suddenly appeared an old man who sold dreams. The old man was dressed in worn-out coarse cloth clothes and held a porcelain pillow in his arms. He said that this is not an ordinary pillow, this is called "dream pillow", pillow on it, do what you want to dream at night, do what you dream, the price of buying dreams is also cheap, a penny a dream, there is nothing cheaper than this.
At first, everyone didn't believe it: can dreams still be sold? Eighty percent of this old man is a lunatic. The old man did not mind at all, and still shouted in the downtown streets every day: "Sell dreams, sell dreams, a penny a dream!" ”
On this day, the old man was shouting and drinking vigorously, when suddenly a person walked over with the wind at his feet and said to the old man in a menacing manner: "Old man, can your pillow really do any dream?" The old man replied unashamedly, "Exactly! The man said, "I want to dream of a dead mother, can I do it?" The old man nodded and said yes. The man then asked, "What if I don't see my mother in my dreams?" The old man was still tepid: "If you don't see the dream, leave it to the guest officer to deal with it." The man seemed to be waiting for this sentence, saying, "Well, if you dream of my mother, a piece of money will be indispensable to you; if you don't dream, you don't want this porcelain pillow." The old man nodded, didn't say anything, and then drew a strange charm and pasted it on the porcelain pillow, asking the man to meet here the next day.
As soon as the man took the porcelain pillow on his front foot, the people around him who were watching the bustle said to the old man, this porcelain pillow he wanted to come back, just now the man was not easy to mess with, he was a famous scoundrel in the capital. Who knows what happened in the dream, he obviously dreamed, and his mouth said that he didn't dream, what can you do with him? The old man just smiled faintly and said nothing.
Unexpectedly, the next day the rogue came with a storm, and he respectfully handed the porcelain pillow to the old man, and when he spoke, he still had tears in his eyes: "Your pillow is too smart!" Last night I really dreamed of my mother, who was exactly the same as when she was alive, and she also told me to be a good person and not to occupy other people's things. Tears flowed out. It turned out that although this scoundrel was overbearing, he was a filial piety, and it seemed that he really dreamed of his mother. Before leaving, the scoundrel did not forget to give the old man a piece of money, and the old man calmly put the money into his pocket.
Since this incident, everyone has believed that the porcelain pillow is not ordinary, so many people come to the old man to ask for a pillow. There are students who want to dream of their wives in their hometowns, and there are young women who want to dream of their husbands who are fighting abroad... Whoever came to ask for a pillow, the old man would draw a symbol and paste it on the pillow. These people took the pillows and returned them the next day, saying that they had indeed dreamed of the people they wanted to see...
The story of the old man selling dreams soon spread throughout the capital. On this day, the old man was shouting and selling in the street again, and several high-headed horses stopped in front of the old man, jumped from the horse and a few people in official clothes, and said to the old man, "Are you the one who sells a dream for a penny?" The old man nodded and said yes, and the man said, "Come with us!" "Carrying the old man to his horse like a chicken, turning the horse's head and leaving."
The old man walked for a while on his horse in a daze, and when he stopped, he realized that he had actually entered the palace. The emperor personally summoned the old man, asked the eunuch to sit down, and then asked the old man about his origins.
The old man said tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, the grass people's surname is Yuan, named Yuan Meng, because of the famine in their hometown, they came out to eat mixed food." I don't have any skills, so I rely on this dream pillow handed down from my ancestors, so I am not hungry. The Emperor listened to the deep groan and said, "If you want to have a dream, can you sell it to you?" ”
Yuan Meng said, "The grass people dare to ask, what dream does the emperor want to have?" The emperor thought for a moment and said, "I want to see someone in my dream." ”
Yuan Meng asked again, "What is the name of the person the emperor wants to dream of, and where does he live?" ”
The Emperor sighed, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, and I don't know what that person's name is, where he is now." Then, the emperor said one thing to Yuan Meng:
Recently, the emperor's beloved concubine died, and he was very sad. Just in time for the Seven Temple Fairs in July, the Emperor wanted to go to the temple fair to relax. The temple fair was crowded, the emperor's palanquin was moving slowly, and he impatiently opened the palanquin curtain to look out, only to see that the palanquin was crowded with people, but most of the women were not proud. The emperor remembered the deceased lady and could not help but sigh. At this moment, a woman flashed in front of his eyes, only to see her graceful posture, turned back to the palanquin and smiled softly, and squeezed into the crowd and disappeared. This laugh ticked off the emperor's soul. Returning from the temple fair, the emperor always flashed the shadow of the woman smiling back in his mind, and he didn't even think about the tea and dinner. At this time, the news of selling dreams for money came into the palace, and it spread very divinely, and as soon as the emperor moved in his heart, he let people find Yuan Meng...
Yuan Meng listened to the emperor's narration, thought about it and said, "I will try my best, I will definitely let the emperor dream of that woman tonight." Saying that, he drew a very strange charm and attached it to the porcelain pillow.
After a night without words, the next morning before Yuan Meng got up, he was dragged out of the bed, and the Five Flowers were tied up and taken to the Golden Ruan Hall. The emperor sat high on the dragon chair and said angrily, "Good you Yuan Meng, you dare to tease Yuan, do you know your sins?" Yuan Meng knelt on the ground and trembled, he really didn't know what crime he had committed.
Dreaming
It turned out that last night the emperor fell asleep on the pillow of the dream, and in the middle of the night he did dream, and there was really a woman in the dream, but the woman looked very strange: just look at half of the face, it was delicate and matchless, but then look at the other half of the face, it was simply unbearable to see. As soon as the emperor saw that look, he was scared away without even saying a word...
Yuan Meng listened to the experience and said, "With all due respect, this porcelain pillow has never dreamed of missing people." How could the emperor be sure that the man in the dream was not the woman he had seen at the temple fair? ”
The emperor thought about it too, the woman at the temple meeting smiled sideways, he did not see her face, thinking of this, the anger also subsided, and he couldn't help but say disappointedly: "It seems that Lady Shufei will no longer find a suitable beauty!" ”
Yuan Meng boldly said, "Since the emperor is related to that woman, I can send the emperor another dream." If you dream of that woman again tonight, why doesn't the emperor ask for clarification? The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll have another dream." ”
The night passed quickly, and Yuan Meng waited for the emperor to summon him, but he never heard from him. After a few more days, a eunuch finally summoned Yuan Meng to face the saint. As soon as the emperor saw Yuan Meng, he said, "Mr. Yuan, thanks to your pillow, you have found the right person!" ”
Then the emperor said what he had dreamed of this time: he was not afraid to see the woman in this dream, sat down to talk to her for a long time, felt that although she had a strange appearance, she was kind-hearted, and she had the same heart as his own heart, so he had the heart to accept her as a concubine, so he asked her where her family lived in the dream. When he woke up the next day, the emperor sent someone to look for her according to the address in his dream, and he actually found the woman, so he immediately took her into the palace and made her a concubine.
After the emperor finished speaking, he smiled at Yuan Meng: "Sir is the big medium of Yuan and Huifei, come here, please ask Huifei to come and thank Mr. Hui." ”
Princess Huifei quickly came to the palace, and when Yuan Meng saw Princess Hui, she couldn't help but be secretly shocked, and then said to the emperor: "Forgive the grass people, I have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have never seen a person with half beautiful face and half ugly face." When I saw Niangniang today, I dare to conclude that the ugly half of Niangniang's face was fake, and it was only when a grass root called human fur was boiled and pasted on the face. ”
The emperor was stunned, looked straight at Concubine Hui, and asked, "Is what he said true?" ”
Huifei did not answer, slowly lowered her head, and then raised her head, and there was more thing in her hand that resembled human skin. Looking at it again, Where Huifei is an ugly woman, she is simply like a heavenly immortal. The Emperor looked at Princess Hui's true face and was stunned, and only then did he say, "You, you are Lady Shufei!" "It turned out that after taking off the mask, Huifei looked too similar to the dead Shufei, and she was simply a person."
Come true
At this time, Concubine Hui slowly knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Emperor Qi, Concubine Shu is the sister of the concubine." The emperor wondered, "Why are you making yourself so ugly?" ”
Concubine Hui said, "If I don't, I'm afraid I won't even see the emperor's face!" He said and looked at the eunuch beside the emperor. The eunuch knew that he could not hide it, so he knelt down and confessed that the last time the emperor went to the temple fair, the queen ordered that women with a slight posture were not allowed to go out that day. Princess Hui would not have been allowed to enter the temple fair without wearing an ugly mask.
The emperor was a little annoyed when he heard this, and was about to speak, when Concubine Hui suddenly knelt down and said, "Emperor, the concubines have gone to the temple fair in every possible way, but they have not had the opportunity to talk to the emperor." For two consecutive days, the concubines saw the emperor in their dreams, but the emperor actually sent someone to pick up the concubines into the palace. In fact, the concubines entered the palace with all their hearts, not for the sake of glory and wealth, but for the sake of my sister who was humiliated to death--asking the emperor to avenge my sister!) ”
The emperor was a little surprised, frowned and said, "Does your sister have any grievances?" ”
Princess Hui said calmly, "My sister did not die of illness, but died of poisoning, she was killed!" ”
The Emperor jumped up from the dragon chair in shock, and Concubine Hui continued, "Not only Concubine Shu, but also the former Concubine Zheng and Concubine Xiao... They all died mysteriously soon after they were favored. ”
The emperor recalled, and it was true. He couldn't help but look back at the few eunuchs around him, who were already frightened and their legs and stomachs were twisted, and they fell to their knees and shouted in unison: "The emperor spares his life, it is not our business..."
After the confession of those eunuchs, the matter finally came to light: it turned out that the empress was jealous by nature, and all the beautiful and favored concubines, she ordered the eunuchs around the emperor to let them drink chronic poisonous wine. Lady Shufei and the others were all poisoned by poisoned wine, but Princess Hui, the empress saw that she was so ugly, she did not let her drink poisonous wine for the time being, and finally escaped the disaster...
After the truth came out, the queen committed suicide by taking poison. The Emperor summoned Yuan Meng again and said, "Your dream-seeking pillow has solved a big case for yuan, and you have also found a good concubine for yuan, and now it is time for you to thank you well." Say, what reward do you want? ”
Yuan Meng thought for a moment and said, "Emperor, the grass people have already said that a dream only needs one penny, and the emperor only needs to give me a piece of money." ”
The emperor couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud: "Mr. Yuan is really a strange person!" So he ordered Yuan Meng to be rewarded with money. Unexpectedly, after the eunuch went down, the reward was not taken for a long time. It turned out that the palace was extremely luxurious, that is, to buy a small object, but also to hundreds of silver, the great palace, even can not find a penny of copper plates!
The emperor could only say to Yuan Meng, "Well, I will give you a thousand taels of gold, and you don't have to look for it." ”
Even thinking of this Yuan Meng, he was a stubborn seed, he said: "Emperor, the grass people have been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, and each dream only needs a penny, never greedy, but you can't break the rules!" ”
Now that the emperor is embarrassed, where can he find a piece of money for him? Yuan Meng said, "Since the emperor can't come up with a piece of money, it is better to write an IOU." ”
The emperor was helpless, and actually wrote an IOU stating that he owed Yuan Meng a piece of money. Yuan Meng took the IOU and left the palace.
As soon as Yuan Meng left the palace, the emperor patted his head and said that he had been deceived. You think, the emperor is rich all over the world, who does he owe money to? Now he owes Yuan Meng money, and it is a piece of money, if this matter is spread out, what will make the emperor's face save? Therefore, the emperor immediately followed up with a holy decree, telling the officials of the prefectures and counties that as long as Yuan Meng arrived at the place under their jurisdiction, he would have a good reception, and he must not be allowed to lack money to spend, lest he take out the IOU.
After Yuan Meng left the palace, he still walked the rivers and lakes, selling dreams everywhere, and a dream was still a penny. However, his value has increased a lot, and those local officials have seen him as if they had seen his father, and they have changed their ways to persuade him. Yuan Meng was not greedy, he was still wearing that torn dress, and there was always only one penny in his pocket.
