Li Ming, whose parents died when he was a child and had no support, could only make a living by selling some gadgets. He carried a heavy bamboo basket on his back and traveled all over the large and small towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but he always had a meager income, insufficient food, and no warm clothing. In his heart, there is only one wish, that is, to be able to find a wife who loves him and live a stable life.
One day, he came to a place called Jinhua, and heard that there was a rich family there, and there was a young lady in the family, who looked like a flower and jade, and was smart and clever, but because of the bad birthday, she never got married. Li Ming thought to himself, how good it would be if he could marry such a girl, but unfortunately he was just a poor man, how could he have such a blessing?
He was so frustrated that he had spent a day selling in the streets of Jinhua that he had only sold a few copper coins, so he found a large tree outside the city and planned to spend the night there. He put the basket under the tree, covered himself with a rag, and fell asleep.
He had a dream that he had come to a country of golden splendor, where the houses, the clothes, and the utensils were made of gold, and even the stones on the road were gold. He felt as if he had entered heaven, and he couldn't help but be amazed. He walked along a golden avenue to a palace, and saw a woman in a long golden dress, wearing a golden crown, with a beautiful face and an elegant temperament, standing at the door of the palace, looking at him and smiling.
As soon as he saw this woman, he felt his heart flutter, and he felt that she was the ideal object of his dreams. He stepped forward and greeted her, and she answered him as well, saying that she was the princess of the country, and her name was Jinna, and that she had been waiting for him for a long time. She said that she saw him in her dreams and fell in love with him, and she hoped that he would stay here and be her husband. She said that everything here was his, and that he could have endless wealth and glory as long as he wanted to.
When Li Ming heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, he felt that this was a great luck, how could he refuse? He immediately agreed to her, saying that he was willing to marry her and live here with her. When Ginna heard this, she was very happy, she took him by the hand, led him into the palace, changed him into a golden garment, and made him sit on the throne, and then she herself put a golden crown on him, and declared him to be her king, the king of the country.
Li Ming suddenly became a king, he felt that he had never been happy, he hugged Jinna, and thanked her for giving him such an opportunity. Jinna also responded to him gently, saying that as long as she had him, she didn't care about anything. They looked at each other and smiled, snuggled up to each other, and forgot everything.
Since then, Li Ming has lived a carefree life in this El Dorado, he enjoys luxurious material and sweet love with Jin Na every day, he feels that he is the happiest person in the world, he doesn't want to return to reality, he just wants to stay here forever.
However, the good times didn't last long, one day, Li Ming suddenly woke up and found that he was still lying under the old tree, with the rag on his body and the bamboo basket by his side, he had just had a dream. He was stunned, he couldn't believe that all this was fake, he hurriedly closed his eyes, and wanted to enter that dream again, but it was useless, he could no longer find that Golden Country, never see that Jinna again, he could only continue to live his miserable life in reality.
He was grief-stricken, he cried, he felt that he had lost everything, he felt that there was no point in living, that he wanted to end his life. He took out a knife and wanted to cut his throat, and at that moment he heard a familiar voice, it was Kinna's voice, and she said in his ear: "Don't be like this, I love you, I am always there for you, I will bless you, you will be strong, you must live, you will have good luck." ”
Li Ming was startled, he put down the knife, he looked around, but he couldn't see Jin Na's figure, he only saw the old tree, he suddenly found that on the trunk of the old tree, there was a golden light, he walked over, took a closer look, it turned out to be a gold medal, engraved with a few words: "Jinhua County Magistrate, Zhao Wenhua".
He remembered that this Zhao Wenhua was the owner of the rich family, and the father of the young lady, he was named the magistrate because of his contribution to the imperial court, and this gold medal was his official seal, I don't know why, it will be hung on this tree.
Li Ming's heart moved, he felt that this was an opportunity, maybe this was the guidance that Jin Na gave him, he decided to take this gold medal and go to that Zhao Wenhua to see if he could get his help, or, to be able to meet that young lady, maybe she was the Jin Na in his dreams.
He took the gold medal and rushed to Zhao Wenhua's mansion, he wanted to go in, but was stopped by the guards at the door, they said that he was a liar and wanted to impersonate an official, and they wanted to drag him out and beat him to death. Li Ming was anxious, he said that he had something important to tell him and wanted to see Zhao Wenhua, and he said that he had evidence to prove his identity. He took out the gold medal and showed it to the guards, the guards were startled when they saw it, they recognized that this was the official seal of the county magistrate, they didn't dare to slack off, and quickly invited him in and informed Zhao Wenhua.
Zhao Wenhua was also surprised when he heard that someone was coming with his official seal, he hurriedly came out, and when he saw Li Ming, he recognized him at a glance, and he said: "You are the merchant, how can you have my official seal? Did you steal my official seal and want to frame me?" As he spoke, he handed over Li Ming to the yamen and let him be punished by law.
Li Ming hurriedly explained, he said that he found this gold medal when he was sleeping under the tree, he didn't know what was going on, he just wanted to come and return it to him, and by the way, ask him if he had a daughter named Jin Na. When Zhao Wenhua heard this, he became even more angry, he said: "You are talking nonsense, I only have one daughter, named Zhao Na, she is the pearl of my palm, how dare you mention her, do you want to seduce her and defraud me of my property?"
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded, saying, "Daddy, don't hit him, what he said is true, he is the king of my dreams." As soon as Zhao Wenhua turned around, he saw his daughter, Zhao Na, who was wearing a golden dress, a golden crown, a beautiful face, and an elegant temperament, looking at Li Ming and smiling. Zhao Wenhua was stunned, and he said, "Na'er, how can you wear such clothes, how do you know this merchant, what is the relationship between you?"
Zhao Na walked to Li Ming's side, took his hand, and said: "Daddy, I want to tell you a secret, he and I are actually a couple, we met in a dream, fell in love, got married, we are the king and princess of the Golden Kingdom, and our names are Jin Na and Jin Ming." Zhao Wenhua was even more surprised when he heard this, he said: "You met in a dream, fell in love, got married, what kind of nonsense is this, are you crazy, how can you mess around like this, do you know, how much trouble you will bring to me if you do this, how much misfortune will it bring you?"
Zhao Na said: "Daddy, I know you don't believe it, but it's true, our love is destined by God and given by God, we can't betray or give up, as long as we have each other, we are not afraid of anything, we just want to be together and live a happy life." ”
Li Ming also said: "Lord Zhao, I also know that you don't believe it, but I didn't lie to you, I didn't steal your official seal, and I didn't have any other intentions, I just really love your daughter, I just want to marry her and live with her, I am willing to do anything for her, I am willing to give up everything for her." ”
Zhao Wenhua looked at them, looked at their eyes, looked at their expressions, he felt their sincerity, he felt their firmness, he felt their happiness, and there was a trace of wavering in his heart.
He remembered that when he was young, he and his wife, and he had such a love, and he used to be desperate for such a love, he remembered his wife, who had been dead for many years, he remembered his loneliness, he remembered his helplessness, there was a trace of softness in his heart, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes.
He let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, since you love each other so much, I can't stop you, I'm just an old man, and I don't want my daughter to be sad, I just hope that you can be happy, loyal, and filial, are you willing to promise me?" Zhao Na and Li Ming listened and were very grateful.
They knelt down and said, "Daddy, thank you for your forgiveness, thank you for your blessings, we will definitely promise you, we will be happy, we will be loyal, we will be filial, we will not let you down." Zhao Wenhua looked at them, nodded, and said, "Okay, then get up, I'll get you married now, even if you are an official husband and wife, you have to get along well in the future, don't let me worry." ”
As he spoke, he asked people to prepare for the wedding, and he also gave his official seal to Li Ming, saying: "This official seal is your dowry, and if you hold it, it is my son-in-law, the magistrate of Jinhua County, you will do good deeds for the people in the future, serve the court, and don't live up to my expectations." Li Ming took the official seal and was grateful, he said: "Lord Zhao, I will never forget your kindness, I will definitely do good deeds for the people, serve the court, and will not live up to your expectations, nor will I live up to your daughter's love." ”
In this way, Li Ming and Zhao Na got married smoothly, they became the magistrate of Jinhua County, they lived a happy life here, they also got the love of the people, the appreciation of the court, their reputation, spread all over the world, their story, also became a good story, people say, they are a match made in heaven, God-given couple.
