During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a wealthy businessman surnamed Jin Mingtai, known as Jin Yuanwai. His wife, Wang, has never been able to give birth to a boy for Jin Yuanwai, and only has two daughters, named Jin Zhu and Jin Cui. One day, Jin Yuan went out to the City God Temple to burn incense, which coincided with the birthday of the City God, and the incense in the temple was prosperous, and the pilgrims were endless.
Jin Yuanwai prayed sincerely to the city god and said: "City God, you are the protector of Hangzhou Prefecture, and your kindness is widely praised by the people. Although my family is rich, I have never had a son, which is the regret of my life. I am willing to donate half of my family property to build water conservancy, build bridges and pave roads, and help students and the poor. After saying this, he threw another hundred taels of silver into the censer, and then respectfully withdrew.
When the city god heard Jin Yuanwai's prayer, his heart was very moved, so he said to the land god beside him: "This Jin Yuanwai is a virtuous man, he is not only filial to his parents, cherishes his wife and daughter, but also is willing to benefit the people, and I must fulfill his wish." You go to his house, use mana to make his wife pregnant with a boy, and then come back and tell me. ”
The land god took the order and went away, and after a while he returned, saying, "Lord Chenghuang, I have already done as you instructed, Jin Yuanwai's wife has already conceived a boy, and the due date is the first day of the first month of next year." ”
Lord Chenghuang said happily: "Very good, very good, you have done a good job." This boy must be a lucky star and will definitely do great things in the future. You remember that on the day he was born, go to his house again and give him a good name, called Jin Sun, which means the grandson of the Jin family, and it also means that he shines like the sun. The god of the land agreed, and withdrew.
When Jin Yuanwai returned home, he told his wife what he had seen and heard in the temple of the city god, and his wife was very happy to hear it, and felt that she would definitely conceive a boy. Sure enough, after a few months, Wang's belly gradually bulged, and her complexion became better and better, and she felt as if she had been favored by the gods, and her heart was full of joy and expectation.
In order to celebrate his wife's pregnancy, Jin Yuanwai set up a sumptuous banquet at home and invited relatives and friends to share. He also announced that if his wife could give birth to a boy, he would give half of his family fortune to do some good deeds and repay the grace of the gods. When everyone heard this, they were all happy for Jin Yuanwai, and congratulated him, saying that he would definitely have a noble son.
In this way, as the days passed, Wang's belly became bigger and bigger, and in winter, she was about to give birth. Jin Yuanwai invited the most experienced old woman to prepare to deliver the baby. He also asked his daughters to take care of their mother more and not let her suffer any grievances. He himself is busy taking care of his business outside, earning more money and preparing for his upcoming son.
Finally, on the first day of the first lunar month, Wang began to have labor pains, and she was sent into the inner room, where she was served by the old woman and a few maids. Kim waited anxiously outside, praying that everything would go well. After a while, he heard the cry of a baby, he ran in excitedly, only to see the old woman holding a red fluttering child, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, outside the staff, your wife gave birth to a big fat boy, mother and child are safe, what a great joy!"
When Jin Yuanwai saw his son, tears welled up in his eyes, he took the child excitedly, kissed his face, and said: "My son, my son, you are finally here, you are Daddy's heart, Daddy's hope, you must grow up healthy and become a useful person in the future." With that, he handed the child to Wang and asked her to nurse him. Wang looked at her son, she also cried with joy, she said gratefully: "Thank you, husband, you gave me a son, you are my favorite person, we must raise him well, let him inherit your career, continue our incense." ”
Jin Yuanwai put his arms around his wife and said, "No, thank you, wife, you gave me a son, you are the person I respect the most, we must educate him well and make him a virtuous and talented person." ”
At this moment, the land god appeared, and he said to Jin Yuanwai: "Congratulations, Waiwai, your son was given to you by the Chenghuang Lord, he is a lucky star, and he will definitely do great things in the future." Lord Chenghuang asked me to give him a name, called Jin Sun, which means the grandson of the Jin family, and also means that he shines like the sun. You should remember that this is the grace of Lord Chenghuang, you should always be grateful, do some good deeds, and do not disappoint Lord Chenghuang's expectations. ”
When Jin Yuanwai and the Wang family heard this, they were very surprised, and they quickly knelt down and bowed to the land god and the city god, saying, "Thank you for the kindness of the city god, we will always be grateful, do some good deeds, and do not disappoint the expectations of the city god." ”
The land god nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave." Enjoy this joyful moment. With that, he vanished.
Jin Yuanwai and Wang held their son, their hearts were full of gratitude and happiness, and they decided to name their son Jin Sun, just like the land god said, meaning that he is the grandson of the Jin family, and also means that he is as radiant as the sun.
In order to celebrate the birth of his son, Jin Yuanwai set up a three-meter-long flowing water mat at home and invited relatives and friends from all over the city to participate in the grand event. He also invited a band and an opera troupe to present wonderful music and opera for everyone. He also took his son out and let everyone see his blessings, and everyone was amazed, saying that Jin Sun was a dragon and phoenix fetus, and he would definitely be a rich man in the future.
Jin Yuanwai was even more generous, and gave each guest a tael of silver and a piece of silk, which surprised and delighted them. He also announced that he would donate half of his family property according to his promise to build water conservancy, build bridges and pave roads, help students and help the poor, benefit the people, and repay the grace of Lord Chenghuang. When everyone heard this, they were moved by Jin Yuanwai's benevolence and righteousness, and praised him as a virtuous man, wishing his son to grow up safely and live a long life.
At this moment, the voice of the city god came down from the sky, saying: "Jin Yuanwai, you are a virtuous and talented person, your son is given to you by me, he is a lucky star, and he will definitely do great things in the future." You are not only filial to your parents, cherish your wife and daughter, but also willing to benefit the people, I know your wishes. I have come today to beg for a glass of wine and food, to celebrate with you the 100th anniversary of your son's birth, and to wish your family happiness, prosperity and glory. ”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned, and they quickly knelt down, bowed to the city god, and said: "City God, you are the protector of Hangzhou Mansion, and your kindness is widely praised by the people. Your visit to Jin Yuanwai's home today is a great honor to him and a great favor to us. We are all grateful to Zero and don't know how to repay you. ”
Lord Chenghuang smiled and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome, you are all the people I shelter, and your happiness is my happiness." I'm here today just to have a drink with Jin Yuanwai, and I don't want to disturb your joy. Outside of the Golden Staff, bring out your best wine and let me taste it. ”
When Jin Yuanwai heard this, he hurriedly ran to take out his treasured old wine, poured a glass for Chenghuang Ye personally, and said: "Chenghuang Ye, this is the best wine in my family, which was left to me by my father, and it has a history of 100 years. Please enjoy it, I hope you enjoy it. ”
Lord Chenghuang took the wine glass, drank it all, and said: "Good wine, good wine, this is the best wine I have ever drunk, it is really sweet and mellow, and the aftertaste is endless." Jin Yuanwai, you are really a blessed person, your wine is also blessed wine, I drank your wine today, and I have blessed you. Your son will be a rich man in the future, and your family will prosper from generation to generation, your business will prosper, and your good deeds will be rewarded by Heaven. As long as you remember, be virtuous, do things righteously, don't forget to be grateful, don't forget kindness, don't forget awe, don't forget kindness, don't forget kindness, you will have peace and happiness all your life. ”
When Jin Yuanwai heard this, he was moved to tears, he knelt down, and said, "Lord Chenghuang, I will never forget your teachings, and I will never forget your kindness." I am so grateful that you have given me so many blessings today, and I will definitely follow your teachings to be a virtuous and talented person, a person who is beneficial to society, and a person who is blessed to the people, and live up to your expectations and grace. ”
Lord Chenghuang smiled and said: "Good, good, good, you are a person who understands, you are a person with ambition, you are a blessed person." I am here today with you to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of your son, and to wish your family happiness, prosperity and glory. Continue to rejoice, and I will not disturb you. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. ”
After speaking, the city god turned into a golden light, flew into the sky, and disappeared.
Everyone looked at the figure of Chenghuang Ye, and they all felt extremely awe and moved, they were all happy for Jin Yuanwai's luck, and they were also grateful for their own happiness. They all said that it was a rare good day, a rare good story, and a rare good ending.
