During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a family of readers in Shaanxi named Ma, who usually lived by teaching children in private schools, and this reader was called Ma Yunzhi, the word Haode. Earlier, the family was very rich, its ancestors were in business, by selling groceries in Jiangnan made a fortune, they specially bought a batch of local rare items from Jiangnan to sell, because the quality is high and the price is not expensive, there is a market in the local area, so three or four years to get rich.
But later because of the local bandits, their family's shop was also looted by bandits one night, although people were fine, but the belongings in the grocery store were robbed, went to the official, the government also took this gang of bandits no way, and eventually led to the Ma family's collapse, the family fell in the middle of the road. When This Ma Yunzhi became an adult, Gary had no money left, only two acres of thin land to cultivate for his father, and he himself made a living by teaching his children homework.
Ma Yun was very smart since he was a child, he could read the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of seven or eight, and at the age of fifteen, he passed the child exam and became a xiucai, but since then, he has repeatedly participated in the provincial city examination and failed to pass the exam, so he had to become a teacher in order to make a living. He taught very seriously, and many parents were satisfied with sending their children to private schools, but his income was not high, and he could only barely maintain the cost of food until one day he encountered an adventure.
It was an incident that happened in the summer of Jiajing's forty years, when Ma Yunzhi had something to do with a friend in a neighboring county, and this friend was very enthusiastic to stay at home for a long time, until the sun seemed to be about to set before letting him go home. Ma Yunzhi had to pass through a mountain on the way home from here, and it took a long time, and it was late that day, so he hurried home and walked very fast.
But halfway through the mountain walk, he suddenly encountered a schoolboy, in his twenties, lying on the side of the road saying that his feet hurt, and begged him to help transport the goose cage. Ma Yun only saw that his situation was a little pitiful, anyway, he didn't bring anything, the goose cage was no problem, so he agreed. Unexpectedly, after that, this scholar actually entered the cage, the cage was not wide, and the scholar sat with two geese, but he did not feel heavy when he carried it.
After walking for a while, I came to a tree, and the scholar in the cage said let's eat, so I spit out a large gold plate full of delicious wine and drank a few drinks. Later, the student said that he had taken a woman with him and now called her out. So spit out a woman, fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance. After a while, the scholar lay down drunk, and the woman said that she had also brought a person with her, and now called him out not to be surprised, so she also spit out a man, more than twenty years old, smart and cute, and Ma Yunzhi's greetings.
After Ma Yunzhi saw that Shusheng seemed to be about to wake up, the woman spat out a barrier to block Shusheng. After a long time, the student woke up, and the woman swallowed the man and sat alone with him. At this time, the scholar got up and said, "I am drunk and take a break, but now it is late and I am leaving." So he swallowed the woman and the small plates, leaving only the large gold plates for Ma Yunzhi as a souvenir.
He just wanted to ask what this multi-reader was called to live in, this reader suddenly disappeared out of thin air, Ma Yunzhi already knew in his heart that he was not a mortal, and then went home with a gold plate, sold it, and then sold a lot of land, became a landlord, and then continued to study, and finally was admitted to the juren, once worked as a zhixian in a certain place.
