During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, not far from the county seat, there was a beautiful town with a academy in the town. The college was founded by an old gentleman surnamed Kong, and Mr. Kong was hopeless, so he opened this college and trained many high-ranking officials and celebrities, it can be said that peach and plum are all over the world, so the fame is relatively loud, and many readers come here to study.
Suo Xingshu lived on the edge of the town, and on this day, he saw a scholar, sitting under a tree on the street with a sad face, as if he had something to do. He was a kind man, so he stepped forward to inquire.
Shusheng said with a bitter face, "I lost the money." "It turned out that the student's name was Song Zhitan, who came here from other places to study, and when he knew that after arriving here, he found that the money was lost. With no money to pay the tuition, he ran away in vain, so he sat here worrying.
Suo Xingshu chatted with Song Zhi for a while, and saw that he was gentle and elegant in his speech and demeanor, had some knowledge in his belly, and had the heart to help him, so he said: "Well, I will help you pay the tuition fee first, and when you come back next year, I will pay it back to me." ”
Song Zhitan was overjoyed, and quickly stood up and bowed down to salute and express his gratitude. Suo Xingshu smiled and said, "When you meet, you have a fate, and everyone helps each other, so you don't have to be polite." After saying that, he took Song Zhitan home, took out the silver, and gave some living expenses in addition to the tuition. Song Zhitan wanted to write an IOU, and Suo Xingshu smiled and waved his hand and said, "I don't see that you are not like a person who cheats money, so you don't have to write an IOU." If you are determined not to repay the money, what is the use of the IOU? If you repay the money sincerely, the IOUs are completely redundant. ”
Speaking of this, Song Zhiyan was no longer reluctant, and he jumped to the ground and resigned. When I arrived at the academy, I paid the tuition fee and began to study.
When the academy is on holiday, Song Zhiyan will come to visit Suo Xingshu. Suo Xingshu was gracious and did not treat him as an outsider. Over time, the two became good friends and had a long friendship.
In the blink of an eye, at the end of the year, the academy was suspended, and Song Zhitan packed up his bags and came to Suo Xingshu's home. Suo Xingshu put wine for him, and after three rounds of wine and five tastes, Song Zhitan suddenly stood up, bent his knees and half knelt in front of him, hugged his fist and said: "Brother Suo, I'm sorry, I lied to you." Actually, I'm not human. ”
Suo Xingshu pulled him up and asked, "Brother, why did you say that?" Song Zhi talked about it.
It turned out that he was a ghost. In his previous life, he was a well-educated student, fell ill and died, and has always been reluctant to reincarnate, so he wandered in hades. In the spring of next year, the Yin Division will recruit grass-roots officials, select land or city gods, and fill vacancies. He wanted to take the exam, worried about the lack of talent, and planned to study in the academy. However, the money in his hands was all dark money, and he could not pay the tuition, so he sat on the street and worried. Luckily, he met Sohang Shu and solved his problem.
Suo Xingshu smiled and said, "Brother, you have hidden feelings, you can't be deceived, the words are the same." Song Zhitan said: "I will not be able to get the tuition fee advanced by the eldest brother for a while and a half, and after I am admitted to the official, I will find a way to repay you." Suo Xingshu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, the silver I gave you, there is no need to return it." ”
Song Zhi said, "Then how to do it?" Debt repayment is a matter of course, and this money must be repaid no matter what. After drinking, the two snuggled up and said goodbye.
Fast forward to the following summer. In the middle of the night of this day, suoxing saw a figure coming to the bedside in the hazy haze, and fixed his eyes on it, and it was Actually Song Zhitan, full of sadness. He asked, "Brother, have you been admitted?" ”
Song Zhitan sighed and said, "Alas, big brother, fate is not good." When I was alive, I was full of poetry and books, but because of my fate, I died young, and I did not have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination to show my ambitions, which was regretted. Originally, I wanted to be admitted to the official examination in hades, but I had a wish, but who knew that I was named Sun Shan. You say look, why is my life so bitter! ”
Suo Xingshu exhorted: "There are thousands of roads in the world, and there is no need to enter the army. Song Zhitan sighed and said, "What are you talking about?" I want to be reincarnated as a human being again, but the money I owe you cannot be repaid, and I am worried about this. Suo Xingshu said, "Brother, I will give you the money, brother, I don't want you to pay it back, you go to reincarnation, and strive to live a beautiful life in the next life." ”
Song Zhitan said, "No, a gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse, and I must honor what I have said." I came today to tell you that your money will be paid back to you for a while. Without waiting for Suo Xingshu to answer, he disappeared.
Suo Xingshu woke up, and his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time. His wife asked the reason clearly and said, "Song Zhitan is a person who talks about credit, if he had changed into someone else, he would have run to reincarnate a long time ago, where would he still be thinking about repaying the money?" Besides, you already said you didn't want him to pay him back. The two sighed at each other.
Two or three months later, in the middle of the night, Suo Xingshu dreamed of Song Zhi talking again. Song Zhitan said happily: "Big brother, I have thought of a two-pronged strategy, reincarnated as a son, not only repaying your debts, but also repaying your favor, the best of both worlds." ”
Suo Xingshu said, "Brother, I have already said that I don't want you to pay back this money, so why do you still remember it?" Song Zhitan smiled and said, "It is natural to repay debts and repay money." Suo Xingshu said: "I am already in my thirties, my children are already in their teens, and when they are older, it may not be easy to have children again." ”
Song Zhitan said, "You don't have to resign, I applied to the Yin Division, and the Yin Division has approved it." "Say it, jump on the bed and disappear." Suo Xingshu woke up and talked to his wife about this matter, but her wife did not believe it, and said: "I have not been pregnant for many years, I am old, where can I still get pregnant?" ”
Who knew that after a while, Suo Xingshu's wife was indeed pregnant. At the end of the October period, a big fat boy was born, named Suo Nian Song, which means to miss Song Zhi talk.
Suo Nian Song was talented and intelligent, and at the age of seven, he quarreled about reading, and Suo Xingshu's family, whose ancestors had never been a reader, let him read books. Suo Niansong won xiucai at the age of eighteen, married at the age of nineteen, and was admitted to the yuan in his twenties. Suo Xingshu and the two old people, followed by Suo Nian Song to raise heavenly years, are all people with high life.
Debt repayment, righteousness, gratitude and retribution, of course. This story adopts an absurd penmanship, which lies in borrowing things to persuade the world, and has nothing to do with feudal superstition.
