Once upon a time, there was a scholar who grew up to be eighteen and married his daughter-in-law. When the bride found that the bride was like a toad, she cried bitterly. Unexpectedly, the groom was drunk and took off his skin and turned into a handsome and beautiful man.
Wang Jia Dazhuang had a royal member, a well-known good man, but he was in his fifties and had no heirs. When the Jade Emperor found out, he sent the Golden Boy to his house. Unexpectedly, she was pregnant in October and gave birth to a leper toad.
Wang Yuanwai looked at this two-eyed toad with red eyes, and he was so angry that he thought: I am good at heaven, and I actually gave birth to such a thing, what a shame! Since then, he has run away from home and gone to teach in Zhangjia Dazhuang, leaving only the two women at home to rely on each other.
Dad didn't want it, but the mother was reluctant to throw it away, and kept feeding the little toad until he was fifteen years old. Wang Yuanwai had not returned home for fifteen years, not even a letter to his home, and the little toad had never seen what his father looked like.
On this day, his mother said to the little toad, "Toad, you have grown so big, go to your father today." The toad nodded, and his mother put a note on his forehead, and he crawled away. When no one was there, the little toad took off his skin and turned into a handsome teenager, asking for directions as he walked.
On this day, he finally came to Zhangjiazhuang, and at the mouth of the village he asked a person who was working, saying that he was looking for his father, that is, Wang Yuanwai. When the man saw that his son who dared to love the king was so handsome, he said to him, "Your father is teaching in the private school, so go and find it." ”
The little toad went to the outside of the private school to put on the skin, and then turned into a small toad, and entered the house and shouted "croak, quack, croak" three times outside the king. Wang Yuanwai looked angry, so he said to the little toad, "Toad, if you go home and tell your mother, I will go back soon." ”
The toad nodded, climbed out the door, and turned into a beautiful teenager again, coming to the place where he had just inquired about people. When the people who were working saw that he had returned, they asked, "Student, why did you leave so quickly, and your father didn't leave you to eat?" He said, "Yeah, my dad told me to hurry home." ”
When the little toad returned, the people who were working found Wang Yuanwai and said, "Wang Yuanwai, your son has come, why don't you ask for two more days and leave?" Wang Yuanwai said, "Don't mention it, my son is not a human." "How could it be?" Weird looking, do I want to marry my girlfriend to him? "How does that work?" He's not human! "I'm not human, I'm happy."
The king was reluctant, but the man was very happy, so he chose a good day and an auspicious day, and the church became a relative. Cave room flower candle night, toad bouncing will come, the bride look, really not a person! I was so sad that I cried for days. The little toad narrowed his eyes and crouched at the head of the bed looking at his daughter-in-law.
On this day, his mother made a table of wine and asked her daughter-in-law to eat, but the daughter-in-law had the heart to eat, but she just cried vigorously. But the toad climbed on the table and ate and drank, but he did not expect to be drunk, and when he was drunk, he took off his skin and went to bed.
His daughter-in-law took a look, yo! How did the husband become so handsome, did not cry, and quickly called the mother-in-law. His mother was also very happy to see that her son had really become a beautiful man, so she said, "Hurry up and throw his skin into the well in the back garden, so that he can change back." "As soon as the daughter-in-law lifted it up, she threw it away."
When the toad woke up, she asked her daughter-in-law, "Where is my fairy coat?" The daughter-in-law said, "I haven't seen it." "The toad had no choice but to live with her." After a year, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, and he and his daughter-in-law asked for fairy clothes, and the daughter-in-law did not give it. After another year, the daughter-in-law gave birth to another son, and he wanted the fairy clothes again.
The daughter-in-law thought about it for three or four years, and her clothes should be rotten, so she told the toad that she had thrown it into the well in the back garden. The toad retrieved the immortal clothes, and then said to his mother, "I was originally a golden boy in heaven, and it was only after reading your two old sons that they accumulated virtue and done good deeds, and the Jade Emperor sent me to your house." I've left you two grandchildren, and it's time to go now. ”
After saying that, he rolled in place, and after a cloud of fog, the toad disappeared.
This story comes from a "folk tale": "The toad marries the daughter-in-law", which tells the story of an old couple who accumulated virtue and good deeds to move the Jade Emperor, sent a golden boy to be born in his home, and continued the incense for his family.
It seems that the accumulation of virtue and good deeds in ordinary days will still touch the heavens, and the Jade Emperor sent the golden boy Xia Fan to give birth to two grandchildren to the old two, completing the great task of continuing the incense. The ancients attached great importance to incense, no filial piety has three, no queen is greater, and this practice of the Jade Emperor is the best reward.
It's just that the golden boy's behavior is a bit confusing, you say that you are under the mortal, why do you have to become a toad? Is it to test others? Or is it because he is too handsome and afraid of provoking right and wrong?
Wang Yuanwai did not go home for fifteen years because he gave birth to a toad, and his daughter-in-law cried all day because she married a toad, which is actually a common human feeling. Only his mother, the most disgusted son is a toad, treating him no differently.
This is also the greatness of maternal love, no mother under the heavens will not recognize her child. This is why in the end the toad only said goodbye to the mother, not the father and daughter-in-law.
