Yutang Spring
Wang Shunqing of Henan, whose father was a high official, interrupted his career because of something and returned to his hometown. His son stayed in the capital for the time being, receiving the unfinished money from the imperial court. During the time that the prince was stranded in the capital, he met a prostitute named Su in Yutangchun.
He bought a house for Su Nu and bought things, and in less than a year, his pocket was empty. The mother bustard often complained that Wang Sheng had no choice but to leave the Yutang Spring Courtyard and live in a temple. One day I met a fruit vendor, and the vendor said, "The boy is here!" Su Nu because you swore not to pick up customers again, let me look for you everywhere! Fortunately, I met here. So he went back and told Su Nu.
Su Nu deceived the mother of the bustard and said that she would go to the temple to make a wish, and after seeing Wang Sheng, she hugged her, tears fell like rain, and said: "Lang Jun is the son of a famous family, and it is all my sin to fall like this, why don't you go back to your hometown?" Wang Sheng said there was no travel fee. Su Nu took out some silver and said, "Buy some good clothes, and then go to Yutang Spring, I will find a way for you." The next day, Wang Sheng was refreshed and came with his servants. The mother bustard was overjoyed, arranged a banquet, and received respectfully. Late at night, Su Nu wrapped up all the valuable things in the house and asked Wang Sheng to take them away. The next day, when the mother bustard found out, she beat Su Nu half to death, then cut off her hair and let her work barefoot in the kitchen.
Soon after, a Shanxi businessman heard about this and admired it very much. He gave a hundred taels of silver to Redeem Su Nu. After a year, Su Nu's hair grew long and her face was still the same, and the merchant took her as a concubine and took her back to Shanxi. The businessman's wife, Pi Shi, hooked up with a neighbor inmate during the time the businessman left home, and was the line that an old woman gave her. Pishi was very jealous when he saw her husband bring back a concubine. At the same time as drinking, he poisoned Su Nu's cup. It just so happened that Su Nu did not want to drink that day, and the merchant drank it for her and was poisoned to death. The prisoner instigated Pi Shi to sue the official, saying that Su Nu had killed her husband. In court, Su Nu said that the wine was arranged by Pi's family. Pi Shi framed her: "When my husband married her, he agreed to be the main chamber, but now he has become a concubine, so she killed her husband and wanted to marry another woman." The prisoner secretly paid bribes, and the government convicted su nu for poisoning her husband.
Speaking of Wang Sheng, after he returned home, he was scolded by his father. From then on, he studied hard, passed the examination, and later promoted to the position of imperial history, and went to Shanxi to inspect criminal cases in various places. When the case of Su Nu's husband was examined, he quietly solved it and knew the truth of the matter. Pi Shi, the prisoner, and the old woman were all arrested, and as a result, they were all hard-mouthed and disobedient. Therefore, Wang Shengren beat all three of them and tied them to a large cabinet. Then he withdrew from the hall, and the servants also walked away.
After the old woman was tortured, everyone who looked around couldn't help but complain to Pi: "You killed people but it bothered me, but I only got five or two pieces of silver and two pieces of cloth, but I followed this great punishment." The other two pleaded with her: "Bear with me a little longer, and wait until you get out of the cage to be rewarded." There was a servant hiding in the cabinet, and when he opened the cabinet, he came out and shouted, "They confessed!" "Wang Sheng and the small officials ascended to the hall, and the servants in the cupboard testified, and the three of them bowed to the law." Wang Sheng found another person who pretended to be Su Nu's brother, took her back to her hometown, and bought another house as his side room.
If Wang Sheng did not have Su Nu, he would fall to the end of the world, and If Su Nu did not have Wang Sheng, she would die with injustice. Someone wrote "The Record of Jin Ju" accordingly, and in the script, Wang Sheng was renamed Wang Hu, Su Nu was called Chen Linchun, the merchant was called Zhou Bo, and the prisoner was called Mo Youliang.
Love Shi Shi said: A one-night encounter is also the result of a meeting of deep fate, let alone a husband and wife. The concubine (the famous ugly woman in ancient times) can be turned into Xi Shi, and the rubble can be turned into gold and jade. Feelings are something that some can't ask for, some have no intention of promoting a good relationship, some are separated for a long time and reunited, and some want to separate but eventually grow old. Although thin affection is not advisable, do not force the amorous!
(The story is from Feng Menglong's "Love History" and has been adapted into a play and movie.) There is an enhanced version of the "Cautionary Tale", called Yutang Spring Fall, which has a visual estimate of 20,000 words. I can't read too long articles, so I didn't look closely, thinking that the plot should not be much different. ）
[sic] Wang Shunqing of Henan, whose father was a prominent eunuch, sent to the government. Born to stay in the capital, the branch was given to the gift, because of the courtesan Yutang Chun surname Su Zhi fox. Create a house, set up a decoration, not a load, exhausted. The bustard has a lot of rhetoric. Born had to be discharged from the hospital, exiled, living in a temple. In the corridor, a fruit seller saw it: "The prince is here!" Yutang Chun swore not to receive guests for the prince and ordered me to visit the place where the prince was. Fortunately, there is no other way forward. "It's a report to Sue. Su Yu and his mother went to the temple to make a wish. Seeing sheng, he wept and said, "Prince of the Emperor's famous family, once you come to this point, what will the concubine say?" Why not? Sheng Yue: "The road is far away, and I can't return." The prostitute and Jin Yue said: "Put this dress, and then come to my house, when Xu District painted." "The servants of the shengsheng are repeated. The bustard is overjoyed, treats each other well, and sets up a feast.
Nightshade, life swept through all and returned. The bustard knew that the prostitute had died several times, and because of cutting his hair, he was reprimanded as a. Before long, Shanxi merchants became famous for seeking to see, know their own things, and become more virtuous, and redeem themselves with hundreds of gold. Over the years, his hair is long, his color is the same, and he is returned to the concubine. In the beginning, the merchant woman Pi Shi came out as a husband, and there were prisoners in the neighborhood, and there were concubines and tongs. And the husband married a prostitute, Pi Zhizhi. Drink at night and put in poisoned wine. The prostitute did not drink, and the husband drank it in his place, and died. The prisoner wanted to marry Pi, but instigated Pi to sue the official, and the prostitute poisoned and killed her husband. Prostitute: "The wine is leather." Pi Yue: "The husband is the main room, not willing to be secondary, so he kills the husband and wants to remarry." "The inmates are left and right, and the prostitutes become prisons."
When he was born, the Father rebuked him. Sui Zhizhi studied, dengjiake, and later promoted to imperial history, and was imprisoned according to Shanxi. Sneaking to the prison to supervise the affairs of the neighbor, since the arrest, do not ambush. Because he was hiding in the cabinet under the court. The prisoner, Pi shi and the concubine were all tortured on the side of the cabinet. Officials retreated, and officials scattered. The concubine was old and could not bear to be tortured, and privately said to Pi Yue: "Er kills and tires me, I will stop the hardware and two pieces of cloth in prison, can Ann be tortured?" The two pleaded, "If you put up with me again, I will be freed from my sins and should be repaid." When Xu Xu heard this, he said loudly: "The three of them have done their best." "Officials are proof of this, and they are all in charge of the law." Wang Lingxiang pretended to be a prostitute brother, took him back to his hometown, and set up a mansion in the shadows, which was a side room.
If you are not a prostitute, you will eventually fall to the end of the world; if you are not born, you will eventually be unjust hell. They are one another, and they are husband and wife. The good deeds were written as "The Book of Jin Jun". Born as Wang Hu, prostituted as Chen Linchun, shang as Zhou Bo, and adulterer Mo Youliang.
Love Shi Shi said: "When the lady meets one night, there will be a chance to make it up, and the husband and wife will be concerned!" The mother-in-law can be a West Son, and the fate is not to ask good and ugly; the rubble can be golden jade, and the fate is not to ask about good and low. Or ask for everything but do not get, or do not have the heart to come to it, or reunite for a long time, or want to cut and finally join. The fate is fixed in heaven, and the love is also yin and yin, and it is turned into ignorance. sigh! Although it is ruthless, it cannot be broken; although it is at best sentimental, it cannot be strongly combined. Sincerity can not be strong also. The amorous one does not have to take profits, and the heartless ones are also willing to be self-righteous! ”
