Chapter 17 Volume 15

●The rest of my nature is lonely, but I can't be free.The scroll, pen and inkstone have not been separated for dozens of days since they were tied together.Thirty years ago, he taught the study of textual research, and the place where he sat was surrounded by classics like otter sacrifices; after thirty, he galloped with the world with his articles, drew pornographic dialogues, and conceived all night; after fifty, he received secret books and refolded them Talk about textual research.I am old now, and have no desire to return to the old days. I just pick up paper and ink from time to time, and record old news, just to pass the time.Therefore, it has become three books such as Luanyang Xiaoxialu, and this collection is reproduced.Burmese writers in the past, such as Wang Zhongren and Ying Zhongyuan, quoted scriptures from ancient times, and they were extensive and comprehensive; Tao Yuanming, Liu Jingshu, and Liu Yiqing, in a few words, were naturally wonderful.Sincerely dare not imitate previous revisions.However, the general purpose period is not to obey the morality. If you hold grievances and resentments and reverse right and wrong, as Wei Tai and Chen Shanzhi did, then you are self-confident.Shi Shengzi Songyun wanted to be a Jijue, because he led the number of books in the first place, so as to get more rumors.So I picked up Zhuangzi's words and called it Guwang Listening to it.On the 25th day of the seventh month of the Qianlong Emperor Guicho, a Taoist who watched the game himself wrote the title.

●A servant of Feng Yushi's Jingshan family suddenly went mad from Laos, uttering delirium: "Although I died in vain, I am still dressed in clothes."What kind of villain is arrogant and does not avoid the road, and now I will punish you to know.Jingshan looked at it from the past and said: "Your appearance in the daytime?"I am afraid that it is not appropriate to reason because of the dark and different roads; the king is invisible?Then you can see this generation, but this generation cannot see you, so why avoid each other.His servant is like falling asleep, and if he wakes up for a while, he has returned to normal.Tongcheng, a disciple of Geng Shouyu, is self-centered and likes to compete with others for etiquette. I have tried to discuss this matter, saying: Confucianists are always arrogant, and they invite people to respect them, which is called self-respect.I don't know what is important and what is not important, I regard what I do for myself, and my morality is worthy of the sages. Although princes and marquises can't be honored, although Xu Xun's buildings can't be humiliated, the valuable ones are in me, but the outsiders are not worth mentioning.If it is important to be outside, it is honor to be respected by others, and humiliation to be disrespected by others. Even servants and concubines can take advantage of my honor and disgrace.Shouyu said: The public grows rich and honored, so he holds the theory like this.If poor people are not poor and arrogant, they will not stand on the cliff, and they will be despised by others.Yu said: Zhu Zi has already refuted what Tian Zifang said.It is not to be debated that it is polite, that is to say, it is also said that morality is important, and one should not be humbled by poverty.It's not that there is no morality, but poverty can be proud.If you believe in what the king says, beggars are poorer than the king, slaves are lower than the king, and the king is proud of the crowd, does the king say that he can stand up?Mr. Chen Baiya, the first teacher, tasted a couplet inscribed by his hand in the study room and said: "If you can be content with things, you will always be happy. People are self-exalting when they have no pursuit. The theory of exploring the truth of this truth can last through the ages."

●Gong Jisheng said that Qianlong had not yet met a Taoist priest in the Yulingyou Palace in the capital. They drank together, watched dramas for a day, and invited them to go together. , no reward, is it okay to watch a puppet tonight?At night, in the living room, there is only a big square, with a little wine and fruit near it, and a chess game is displayed in the center, and the boy is called to close the outer door, and the guests are invited to sit around a few times. It is eight or nine inches long, and it is played in chorus, yo yo ying ying, the sound is like a four or five-year-old boy, and the men and women are decorated, and the tone is closed, one by one is no different from the theater, and it ends when it comes out - the legend is discounted As soon as it came out, there was no such character in ancient times. I first saw the supplementary notes of Wu Renchen's vocabulary, saying that it reads like a ruler, and it has been used for a long time, so it cannot be discarded. .The crowd was horrified and delighted, and drank until the night. The Taoist ordered the boy to sit on the table outside the door, put hundreds of chicken eggs, and a few pops of white wine.Asked what kind of technique it was, the Taoist said: Anyone who has obtained the five thunders can serve a fox. The fox can be big or small, so I sent this play for a night's entertainment.However, it can only be used for driving. If you serve the robbers or the evil people, or call the fox girl to recommend the pillow mat, then the punishment of heaven will come.Everyone has seen what they have never seen, begging to see it again at night, the Taoist promises it, and the next night they will go to the place where they live, and they will get up early and take the boy to go.

●Tong Xijian, the divinationist, said that there were two people playing chess, and one guest pre-ordered a game picture, such as black nine three white six five and so on, and sealed it in the box.Yi Bi made a fool of himself, but he didn't know what to do.According to the previous record, Wang Sheng of Xuanpingfang in Kaiyuan Zhongxuan, who made progress for Li Kui, gave him a seal, which can be dozens of papers, and said: "You send this on the day you get rid of the relics. Later, Kui recommended Li Kui and ordered the minister to try it." The texts, one titled Fu with Zisi Shenglu Bag, one titled Answering Tubo Book, and one titled Presenting a White Peacock Biao on behalf of Nanyue, were formed from noon to unitary.The next day, I gave Zuo Supplements, more than ten days later, I sent Wang Sheng's seal, and looked at it, all three articles were included in it, and the same was true for the annotators.The husband is in charge of management and thinking, and Lin Ping cloth, although the people in the authorities, there are those who cannot preside over themselves, but the divination is able to foretell them.Is it impossible for someone who takes clever tricks and insists, and fights with his heart every day?

Gang Chaorong, a prisoner dispatched from Urumqi, said that there were two people who were trading in Tibet. They each rode a mule. They lost their way on the mountain and couldn’t distinguish things. Suddenly, more than ten people jumped off the cliff. It was suspected that it was a dam——Xifan took robbers as a reason. Jiaba, the Mahaqin of Uerut, is seven or eight feet long when you approach it, with a hairy body, yellow or green, with a face that looks like a human but not a human, and its words are indistinguishable. Trembling and falling to the ground.More than a dozen people were smiling at each other, without the appearance of biting, but they held people under their flanks, and drove their mules to a mountain depression, where they put people on the ground. Blow the fire and burn it, sit around and devour it.He also mentioned that the two of them sat down and put the meat in front of each other. They didn't seem to have any malicious intentions. They were hungry and tired, so they ate it.After they were full, more than ten people touched their stomachs and whistled upwards, the sound was like the neighing of a horse. The two of them still carried one person each, and flew three or four times over the steep mountains, swift as apes and birds, and sent them to the side of the official road. go.The stones are as huge as melons, and they are all green pine trees. If you bring them back, the price you get is twice as much as what you lost.During the period of Yiyou and Bingxu, Chaorong once saw one of them, and he knew everything about it.This unknown person is a mountain spirit and a wood charm. Looking at his behavior, he does not seem to be a monster. In the hidden rocky valley, there is this kind of savage, who has never been familiar with the world since ancient times.

●Crystal crystals are produced in Zhangzhou, and all five colors of clouds are available, but red ones have never been seen, so the most expensive one is purple.There are so-called golden crystals, which are very different from topaz, and are the most difficult to obtain.Or if you get it occasionally, it is as big as a cowpea, and it is like a melon seed.Only Haicheng's family has a three-legged toad, which can be used as a fan pendant, and it is regarded as a rare treasure, like molten gold, with clear holes.Yangzhi's mansion Jingsu, when he was an official in Zhanglongdao, he tasted more than words.However, it is also said that this is the case, and I have not witnessed it, so I recorded it to hear a lot of strange things.

Mr. Chen Laizhang, Yu's in-law's family also tasted an ancient inkstone, engraved with the shape of a phoenix in the cloud, Liang Yaofeng's Xiangguo inscribed it, saying: "It sings loudly, rides the clouds and soars, has the auspiciousness of Gui, and its song returns to prosperity. Clouds travel in all directions to emit virtue.At that time, Gui Chou was already in the third month, and it was stolen by Geng Zi. Mr. Ding Wei, Mr. Zhong Zi, heard about it, and bought it from many sources. In June, Gui Chou begged and inscribed it in Yu, and Yu inscribed it, saying: Lost and found again, like a big bow of precious jade. , who makes it so, the old things are just in time, such as the majestic phoenix's chongyun, which disappears in the distant sky, and its return must still stop at the phoenix tree.The descendants of the old family live in the ancestors' hands, and there are many people who are scattered and discarded.I have seen a matchmaker carrying a jade pendant to count things, saying that a certain public house is asking for sale, and it is wrapped in scrap paper. It is four pages of the biography of Gongyang in the Northern Song Dynasty.I heard that the lost utensils of my ancestors were purchased eight years later, and I begged others to inscribe them in order to pass them on. People's intentions are far away.

●Ding Jin, a tenant in Dongjiazhuang, gave birth to a son named Erniu, and another daughter-in-law, Cao Ning, as her son-in-law.The two cows gave birth to a son called the Three Treasures, and the daughter also gave birth to a daughter. Because they lived in their mother's house, they were jointly named the Four Treasures. They were born in the same year and the same month, a few days apart.Aunts and sisters-in-law hug each other, breastfeed each other, married in their infancy, three treasures and four treasures love each other very much, a little longer, and they can't leave each other, and the little family doesn't know who they are. When the two children are playing, they point to each other: This is your husband, this is your husband. Wife, although the second son doesn't know what to say, but he has heard it well.After the age of seven or eight, he will take care of things a little, but they will all lie down and rise with the mother of the two oxen, and they will not avoid each other.From Xin Chou of Kangxi to Guimao of Yongzheng, he apologized repeatedly at the age, and Jin and his wife died together. Cao Ning was transferred to the capital first.After Er Niu arrived, he asked the boy in the hall to ask for the three treasures in his house, and told him not to say that he and the four treasures were married. .The doctor suspected it, and transferred the four treasures to the Zheng family, or it was said that Zheng Ye was the mink fur, and chased the three treasures.Sanbao still voted for the old matchmaker, and introduced a family as a house boy.After a long time, I heard little about the location of the Four Treasures, so I entered Zheng's family by chance. A few days later, I saw the Four Treasures holding each other and crying bitterly. It was already thirteen or fourteen.The Zheng family is strange, but they think that brothers and sisters meet each other, and the Zheng family is connected by their names and ranks, so they don't doubt it, but they are isolated from the inside and outside, only when they go in and out, they match their eyes.In the later years, Ren, Er Niu, Cao Ning, went to Beijing to redeem their children, and went to the Zheng family. Zheng's first knowledge of the original couple was very sympathetic.The teacher of the library, Yan Mou, is also a lecturer. He doesn't know the difference between ancient and modern things. It is an adult's evil to take morality as one's own responsibility, and not to be discouraged by seeing incest and incest, which is not a gentleman.In the past, we will strive hard. The Zheng family is good and cowardly, and the Erniu Cao Ning is also a fool. Hearing that the crime is serious, they all stop in awe.The last four treasures were selected as concubines, and died of illness within a few months, and the three treasures went out in a frenzy, without knowing where they would end up.Or say: Although the Four Treasures were forced to go away, disfigured and weeping, they did not share the house with the selected person, but unfortunately they did not know the details. Those who don't look at me in peace.But Yan did this evil karma without knowing what his intentions were, nor did he know what was going on. However, the divine principle is clear, and there should be no good rewards.Or he said: It is not ancient, nor is it a good name, and I covet the four treasures in order to serve myself.If so, the establishment of hell is just for Sri Lankans.

●Wuwu of Qianlong, the water in the canal was shallow, and the grain boats could not enter with their tails attached.All the transport officials were there, and as soon as Fang Yan Jingchai Ji threw himself into the river, the person pretending to be Qian Yulian suddenly knelt down and wailed, crying along with the sound, and murmured incessantly. Possessed by a ghost, ask why.Ghosts can't understand human language, or throw paper and pens, shake their heads as if they can't read, but point to the sky and the earth, knock their foreheads and cry bitterly.Nothing to do, tucked on the bank, still whimpering and jumping, until people scattered.After a while, I suddenly saw a woman coming out of the water from the cloud, holding her head in her hand, she was so terrified that she lost her soul, and became unconscious like a drunk, and she didn't know what happened afterwards.This must restrain the soul at the bottom of the water. Seeing the gathering of officials, he came out to complain, but he was invisible, unable to speak, and sent a good swimmer to ask for the corpse, but there was no trace.Banner Ding has no new lost woman, so there is no way to question him, but he is burned in the Temple of the City God with the title.After four or five days, if there is a sailor who kills himself without reason, or kills this woman immediately, God will punish him.

● Zheng Taishou is a cautious man. He said that many friends commented on Fujian poetry. Yu Lin Ziyu was quite dissatisfied.The next day, I saw that there were two lines of words on the table, saying: "It's like the rain in the ancient pool is dark, and the Li Xinghan Hall is opened. It's like Qian Lang and the princes. They haven't been able to reach it. Can you think it is a copy of the Tang Dynasty and Jin Dynasty?"At that time, there were several people in the same room, and the books were all different. Apart from a few people, no one could write this sentence. Knowing that scholars are fighting for fame, and death is not over yet. Zheng Kang became a serious matter, is it true?

●Huang Xiaohua said that there is a shaman in the west city, and he wrote a poem on the altar: Cece the westerly wind, the leaves fly, the heartbroken flowers fade away, and Wu Niang's room is cold at dusk, and she still wears exquisite white ramie clothes.They all didn't understand what was going on, and the ghost wrote again: "When I passed by a certain house, I saw a new concubine, locked up the vacant room, lived in exile and divorced, and decided my own destiny, but the hunger and cold can be remembered, and the sorrow touches people's hearts, so I chanted this with compassion.I would like to tell you all, if you have no talent in taming lions and adjusting elephants, don't take this thought lightly, it is also a sinister skill.May I ask the name of the fairy, the book says: Wuchen.If you ask again, you don't answer.According to Li Wuchen, a famous prostitute in the late Ming Dynasty and a native of Xiangfu, the city of Kaifeng fell and was submerged in water.There is a collection of poems with beautiful language, and the poem of crying Wang Lie's daughter said: I think I have tears, and dare to say that there is no one in the world.The wording is decent, especially what the author claims. ●Legacy of stagnant fringe, benefit of widows, far-sighted in Zhou Ya.When the wheat is ripe in the countryside, there are dozens of women and children in groups. After those who follow the mower, they harvest the leftovers, which is called picking up wheat.Farmers are used to it as a vulgarity, and they will not look back, just like the old fashion.The favor of people is getting weaker, the pursuit of profit is like greed, and what is left is not enough to give, so there are quite a few people who steal and plunder, and those who are immersed in sex and lose their original intentions.Therefore, in April and May, there are women sleeping in the fields, and there are a few people in the east of the Sea of ​​Tranquility. After sunset, they take advantage of the cool night to walk. When they see a lamp in the distance, they go to beg for a drink. The lights are designed for music, like Yanbin.Looking at the three nobles sitting on the couch from a distance, Fang entered the wine and roasted it. All the Chen voted to stop their intentions.The guard came out, and a woman whispered: "It's a little far away from the city, and you can't get a prostitute in haste. The master wants to choose three of the female companions who are upright. They will recommend you to sleep with wine. Each will give a hundred gold, and the rest There are also rewards for each.媪 is a common word, and the reward should be doubled.The woman told the public, and the public benefited, and encouraged the young woman to accept her invitation, so she led three people in, bathed and dressed, changed clothes and dresses to serve the guests.All the women were placed in other rooms, and there was a lot of food and drink. At night, the three nobles each embraced one woman and entered the other courtyard. The whole family went to sleep after putting out the candles. Then the people in the mansion can see nothing, only weeds and weeds, which are endless.Looking for the three wives, they were all naked in the grass, and the changed dresses were gone, but the old clothes were thrown more than ten steps away, and fortunately they survived.Seeing that everything and gold are paper collars, I suspect it is a ghost, but the food and drink are real things, and I suspect it is a fox, or the place is near the seashore, what did the Jiao Chi water monster do?Greed for profit and loss of body is just to gain a full meal, thinking about it, but facing each other at a loss, remembering this night, it is as big as a pillow in Handan.The elder brother Qinghu said: "Dancing shirts and singing fans, with a myriad of manners, with a flick of a finger, the prosperity always flows with the water. On the day when the mandarin ducks and society are separated, looking back, the old things are all empty."Also naked in Kusama with the three women, awakening ears from the same dream.Not only a mirage, but an instant illusion. ●Urumqi Counselor Dejun Leng forehead, said that he was in Ganzhou, and saw those who controlled each other under the Zhangye order.Jiayun slanders, Yyun has evidence, and the matter is heard, and the two of them are in the same table. A and his wife went out of the fortress, and B also went with him. They went to the east of Ganzhou for dozens of miles. They lost their way at night and met a man who looked like a noble servant. There are few people on this out-of-the-way path, my master is not far from here, it is better to stay for one night, and guide the official road tomorrow.After traveling for three or four miles, there was a small fort. The man had been in for a long time, and he waved his hand and said: "The official calls you to come in."There are many times when you enter the door. When you see a person sitting in the hall, ask for his name and place of origin.The conductor said: "There is no food in the middle of the night, so we can only stay overnight. The small room by the door can accommodate two people, and the woman's order can sleep with the maidservant."After the two went to bed, they faintly heard the woman's calling, and looked out from the dark, but they couldn't find the door.When I wake up from sleep, I am in the wilderness, looking for a wife urgently, and I am naked under a tree half a mile away, with my hair on the sideburns and my clothes hanging on the high branches.It is said that a maidservant leads here with a lamp. There are several couplets in a luxurious house, and several maidservants and wives.If you refuse, the maidservant will hold her with her hands together, untie her clothes and put her arms on the couch, and those who don't respond to her shouts will be polluted by it.When the sky was about to light up, the master put two things by his neck, and the house suddenly disappeared, and his body was already lying on the sand and stones.Looking at the things around the neck, there are two silver collars, each weighing fifty taels. Its year name is Chongzhen, and its county name is Yuci. The soil is black and dark, and it was really cast a hundred years ago.Don't say anything when A quits B, the agreement is divided evenly, and later the contract is violated, and B is angry and criticizes the dispute, and the matter is vented.Although A and his wife insisted on not accepting it, if they questioned what the silver was from, they would pick it up;Ling Xiao sent Jia and said: "Yu Lv has lost things, and he will be an official. Gu Nian Er is poor, so he can go."He also glared at B and said: "What you have told is false, and you will find it together, and you will be sent to the official together, and you will have no part."If the report is true, then this is a ghost who rewards a woman, and I have no part in you. If you say more, you will be flogged.It can be said that it is good to drive them out and ignore them.This is similar to the matter of women who pick up wheat. One uses ingenuity to lure them, and the other uses benefits to shift their hearts.One uses coercion, and one uses benefits to quell his anger.It speculates on human feelings and does what it likes, and its tricks are also slightly equal. ●Golden heavy ox fish, that is, Shenyang sturgeon, is still the most important today.It was heavy on swans again, but not now.Liao emphasized Pili, also known as Pilingbang, that is, the Xuanhua ground squirrel. Ming people still valued it, but it is not so important today.In the Ming Dynasty, Xiaoxiong and deer were re-raised, and the deer should be raised in the warehouse. Today, it is still important, but Xiaoxiong does not know what it is.The weight of the cover depends on the preference of the time, and there is no definite standard.I remember that when I was young, ginseng, coral, and lapis lazuli were not expensive, but now they are expensive; , the strong name is jade ear, but now it is considered a treasure, and the price is far higher than that of real jade.White squirrels used to be more expensive than white, but now they are more expensive than black. Mink used to be more expensive than long sables, so it is called Feng mink, but now it is more expensive than short squirrels; silver squirrels used to be slightly more expensive than squirrels, and far less than Tianma, but now they are almost as expensive as sables; corals are old. Bright red is as expensive as durian flowers, but light red is as expensive as cherries today.And there are those who take the white car canal as the most expensive one.Because of the difference of 50 or 60 years, the price difference is already the same. How about hundreds of years?Confucianists read Zhou Lijiaojiang, secretly doubting it, and they have not yet reached the ancient and modern differences. ●Bazhen, but bear's paw and deer's tail are common, while the hump outside the Great Wall is rare.The single-humped wild camel is very double-humped.Scarlet lips are only known by name.Qianlong Yiwei, Min Fujun Shaoyi, and more than two pieces, made of brocade letters, seem to be very precious, but from the forehead to the chin, all peeled and waxed, the mouth, nose, eyebrows, and eyes, one by one, like a theater mask, not only the two Lip, the cook can't cure it, so if you give it to another friend, the cook doesn't know it.Don't give it to others, I don't know whose family it will be transferred to, and I don't know how to cook it yet. ●Mr. Li Youdan said, Duke Bi of Dongguang, I forgot his name. When the official in Guizhou passed the sentence, he met the bandits in the delivery of salary, and those who died in the bloody battle were also offered to survey the boundary of Miaodong. Put the cup with a magnetic cover in front of it, and the native official holds the Qishi in his hand, and then stores a Gu, wriggling like a centipede.The translator said: This Gu orchid will live when it blooms, and die when the orchid withers, but it is not easy to get it because it feeds on orchids.Today, at the time of Xizhilan, I searched the rocks and picked the caves, and found the second one, so I must sacrifice my life to show my utmost respect.Sprinkle a little salt powder, sprinkle it into the cup, cover it with a lid, and look at it for a moment, it has turned into water, clear and green, as clear as glass, with orchid air, it is used to replace acyl, and the fragrance permeates the teeth and cheeks, half a day later There is still an aftertaste, but unfortunately I haven't asked what its name is. ●The fruit of the Western Regions, apples do not flourish in Turpan, and melons do not flourish in Hami.The green apples are the most precious in the capital, and the color of the ears is chosen. In fact, the green is slightly ripe, not very sweet, gradually ripening will be yellow, more ripe will be red, very ripe will be purple, and the sweetness is also very sweet.This Fusongyan forehead son-in-law, named Fu Zengge, is also the son-in-law of Yifu.The melons that serve as tribute really come from Hami, and the melons presented are all produced in Jinta Temple.However, the tribute products are only ripe to six percent. It is strange that they are sealed and bundled during the journey, and the melon gas is steamed from each other. When they arrive in Beijing, they can be cooked to eight percent.Yu Chang asked King Su Laiman of Hami, the son of Emin and Zhuo, a gardener in the capital, and a grower of melon seeds. In one year, the shape and flavor coexist, but in the second year, the taste has changed, but the shape is thick and close. After three years, the shape and flavor have completely changed. How can the air be different?Su Laiman said: The soil here is warm and the springs are sweet, but there is no rain, so the melon flavor is strong.If planted in the interior, it should be reduced, but there is no way to raise children. For example, if you plant melon seeds this year next year, although the taste here is not good, and the energy is weak, the method is to cultivate melon seeds with ashes and store them in a place that is neither wet nor dry. Short positions will be available in three to five years.The longer the year, the better, and the energy will be sufficient.If it is cultivated to fourteen or five years, there will be a king's garden, and the people can't wait for it, and it can't last forever.His words seem to be reasonable, but the method of gray cultivation must have restraint, and there must be taboos. I am afraid that China will do it according to its will, and it may not be as it is said. Edited by Qiu Chaoran, when Mr. Yang Qinkui was young, he went to and from the school, and there was a woman in a green shirt. He would peep at her from time to time by the wall, or occasionally avoid it. She would always look back and smile. See.One day, he picked up a piece and threw it at the public, saying: "Such a beautiful skin is wrapped in the bones of idiots."The public cupped their hands and said to each other: "Drilling the hole and the wall is really incomprehensible. Why don't you look for someone who is not crazy."The woman suddenly stared straight at her and said, "You are so cunning, can you claim your life from me?"And wait for the next generation of ears.Scattered and tongue out, never to be seen again.This shows that he has a correct heart, even if he is wronged by ghosts.It also shows that a generation of famous ministers has established itself in this way in their infancy. ●Mr. Wang Zhongying in Hejian, Mr. Li Wenzhen of Anxi changed the character to Zhongtui, but the original character has been around for a long time, and no one calls him the changed character. His name is Rui, the senior brother of Li Wenzhen.The scriptures are profound, but the friendship is upright, just like the ancient gentleman.Between Yimao and Bingchen, Yu accompanied Yao Angong in the capital, and Mr. Yu was an assistant teacher at the Guozijian University.According to legend, Mr. Occasionally went to the empty courtyard behind the mansion at night, pulled out vegetables and drank wine, and seemed to see a figure in a trance.I heard the words of the people in the bamboos: Mr. Yi is deep in Yi, one yin and one yang, and the way of heaven. People come out in the daytime, and ghosts come out in the night. The land is a different road.Therefore, there is no place without people in the world, and there is no place without ghosts, but they are irrelevant, so they can be cultivated together.It is also the responsibility of the husband to make ghosts enter the husband's room during the day.It's deep now, and the ground is a gap. When the ghosts come out, they enter the place where the ghosts live. They neither shine candles nor raise their voices. They are caught off guard and meet suddenly. That's enough, sir, what is the responsibility?Mr. Xiao said with a smile: "Your words are straight, so let's ignore it."After plucking the cabbage and returning, I talked to the disciples, who said that ghosts can speak, and the master is not afraid, why don't you knock on his surname, temporarily fake the color of the words, and ask the underworld to say whether it is false or true, or it is also the way of things.The master said: "It is true that humans and ghosts are having sex again. How can you understand the idea of ​​a different way?" ●Zheng Shen said that he once went to Jiuli Lake with several friends, stayed at Xianyoushan’s house, stayed up in the cool night, and went out to walk in the moonlight. Suddenly, the breeze passed through the forest calmly, the leaves rustled, and the roosting birds flew away.Feeling the fragrance of all kinds of flowers, which is refreshing, I leave the forest and go along the stream.The waterfowl also chirped chaotically, as if they had seen something, but stared at it and saw nothing.The heart knows that it is the exchange of fairies.The next day, looking into the forest, there was light rain and fresh sunshine, the green moss was like a mat, every step was bowed, and there were traces of feet, but there was never a three-inch one.The same goes for the mud tracks by the stream.There were more than twenty people in number, pointing and wandering, and sighing at each other, I don't know what kind of goddess it is.Shen Ren has recorded four poems, but he forgot to keep his drafts, so he cannot recall them. The Shenren also said that one day when the garden flowers were in full bloom, they heard the servant girl calling out to each other in surprise, opened the window to look at it, and pointed at the osmanthus tree. It was a small butterfly as big as a palm, and a woman in a red shirt was sitting on her back, as big as a thumb. , dancing lightly, Si must go over the wall.The children next door called each other in surprise.I don't know why this is so strange, is it the so-called demon of Huayue?When talking about this matter, at Liu Jingnan's house, Jingnan said: "An Zhi is not a boudoir game, but the characters in the grass and flowers are tied to the back of the butterfly and let them go?"It is also said.Shen Ren said: I actually see that the villain is on the back of a butterfly, with the appearance of controlling a chime, looking up and looking forward, with a vivid mood, it is not like a puppet.It is unknowable. Uncle An Gong said that when he followed Mr. Liu Bosi of Gaoyang to visit Ruizhou, he heard that there was a mud ghost suddenly falling on the ground in the West Earth Shrine in Wencheng, and another ghost with a green face and black hair, whose clothes and appearance were the same as the mud ghost, was under him.If you look at it, a young man in the middle of the house pretends to be a ghost, and has died with a broken spine.The people were astonished, and they couldn't understand why. After a long time, someone who knew about it said: "A certain neighbor's wife is young, and she picks her up. She goes to her mother's house every day, and she will return to the shrine at night. Far away, after pretending to be a ghost-like crouching statue, wait for it to come and cover it suddenly, and take advantage of its fright and faintness to try to succeed.Not afraid of God's condemnation.Gai's wife and younger brother were plotting in advance, so they didn't dare to tell anyone at first, but after the matter was settled, they let it out a little.Jie Ran also said that there was a crazy boy and a slut who met in front of the Confucian Temple in Hejian.The morality of a husband and a sage is as good as heaven and earth. How can it be like the teaching of the second family? You must first believe in the supernatural, and you must wait for the guardian to respect it.However, gods and ghosts are as they should be. It must be said that Zhu Jin was the Huiyuan. Because he built a Confucian temple in his previous life, he regarded the saint as too small.It must be said that there are no spiritual guards in the palace walls, which is another Confucian detour. ●Three towers——Mongolian name Guerban Subar.Liucheng County of Yingzhou in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and Xingzhong Prefecture of the Liao Dynasty, is now the right wing of Kaciqin.Jin Xunyan's statement—the nephew and son-in-law of Lord Qiu Wenda, whose name I forgot.A woodcutter met a tiger while traveling in the mountains, and hid in the stone cave, and the tiger followed him.The woodcutter was in distress. He saw a small sinus next to him, which was barely enough to accommodate himself, so he snaked in. Unexpectedly, he meandered for a few steps, and suddenly saw the sky, but turned back out of the cave. Burn it, the tiger will be smoked and scorched, its roar will shake the rocky valley, and it will die in an instant if it does not eat.This matter is also enough to stop and stop. ●The gold inspector also said that there is a Taihu stone in the inspection office, which is higher than the eaves.Kao Jin tried to dismantle the strange rocks of Genyue Mountain, and transported them to the north. Is this the so-called Qingyun Wantai Qifeng?However, Jin took Dadingfu as Beijing, and today's Daning City is also the same.Liao Xing Zhongfu, the gold was reduced to the state, and stones should not be placed in the state governance.It is doubtful and incomprehensible.It is also said that the Tuer mountain rocks in the capital are all relics of Genyue, and I saw them when I was young.The Yuhufang bridge house is the former residence of Duke Weixin. The hall is seven or eight feet high with one stone to the east.Of all the Taihu stones in Nancheng, this one is the first, and Yu is also known as the old man of the lonely stone. ●The most ancient flowers and trees in the capital are the wisterias of Lu's family in the Gusi, followed by the tung trees of the Yu family, all of which are hundreds of years old.The body of the tung tree is five inches in diameter, towering and tall.Xiayue’s gardens are all blue, but unfortunately, there is a hole eaten by insects, and the rain soaks it inside. After a long time, it rots to the root, and it withers.Lu's house was later sold to Gao Taishou Zhaohuang, and then resold Cheng Zhenjia, the principal. The rattan is still there, and its frame is made of beams and beams, so it can support it. The first courtyard of the side study room.When it blooms, it is like a purple cloud hanging down to the ground, and its fragrance hits the clothes.Mutang Xiaolian Zairi—Mutang’s name is Yuanlong, Gengwu Juren, Zhu Shijun’s sister-in-law, and Yu Tong was employed by Dong Wenkegong—he entertained guests himself, or borrowed banquets from friends. More than forty years.When it came to Zengyou, he was no longer the old owner, and he was deeply saddened by the neighbor flute.Ni Suichou's old patriarch tasted a couplet on the title, saying: "A garden is surrounded by fresh green grass, and ten acres of vine flowers are full of ancient fragrance."The calligraphy is exquisite, like a thirsty horse angry, and I don't know where it is. ●Senior Chen Jushan, when he moved to a house and moved furniture, he first put more than ten boxes of books in the courtyard, and he seemed to hear a whisper from the back of the tree: "For more than thirty years, I haven't seen this thing here."Treat it like a scorpion.Or it must be a fox.Gou Shan dropped his head and said: "The fox is also very good at interpreting this language." ●Ancestor Guanglu Gong, Emperor Kangxi set up a quality warehouse in Cuizhuang, and Shen Yubo was also in charge.There are two boxes of puppets held by the person who carried the puppets. They are more than a foot high, and they are quite exquisitely made.One night and the moon was bright, Uncle Yu saw puppets dancing in the courtyard, acting as if they were performing a play, and listening to them also babbled like a song.The next day they set fire to it, and it was no different.The cover has been a demon for a long time, and when it is burned, the essence will flicker and disperse, and it will never gather again.It may be a demon if it has something to rely on, but if it is burned, it will lose its attachment, and it will not be spiritual, and it will solidify the natural ear of physics. ●Xianxian county order, waiting for the officials to be kind, the family members are still in the office after death, and there is no one to ask the officials.Forced to call out several people, all facing each other ferociously, when they turned back.Madame was angry, weeping in front of the coffin, tired and dozed off, saw the command saying in a trance: "This generation is unscrupulous, it is its duty. I hope that it is a big mistake to be grateful for its virtue. You are responsible for its morality. Isn't it wrong?"Huo Ran woke up suddenly, so he had no complaints. At the end of Kangxi, Zhangge Bridge——Hejian County, there is Liu Heng——Hengdu Qusheng, because of his strength, he got this name, not his real name——Located on the side of the river, the river is full of water, and the boat is heavy Carriers often drift away.Occasionally, I saw a woman in the middle class, holding a broken oar, floating in the waves, crying for help, none of the people dared to help, and the alone said: "You Cao is not a husband."There is no such thing as death.After falling into the boat, chasing for three or four miles, the number of those who were almost wiped out was rescued.The next day gave birth to a son.After more than a month, he suddenly fell ill, and he ordered his wife to take care of the funeral. At that time, he was able to walk and stand, and everyone blamed it.Heng Taixi said: "I can't afford it."On the night of my rescue, I went to a government office in a trance, and the officials brought them in. The officials showed me the book and said: "You have accumulated all kinds of evil in your life. You should die on a certain day in this year, fall into the body of a pig for the fifth life, and be slaughtered and circumcised."Fortunately, I live two lives in one day, and do great yin gong, and I will extend the second period in the law of the underworld. Today, the longevity register is cancelled, and the karma is used to pay for it.The time limit for fate has been pressed, and I am afraid that people in the world will be ignorant, suspect that there is a good thing, and promote its life, so I call you to prove it, so that I can know the reason.The karma in this life is over, and it is okay to work hard in the next life.Wake up and hate it, but don't tell others.Is it still hopeful that the fruit disease will survive this year?And so it did as it said.Seeing that the divine principles are clear, nothing is wrong, multiplication, division, advance and retreat, and constant combination for several generations are counted. Don't rely on chance to fail to verify, so it is said that the way of heaven is ignorant. ●Zheng Suxian said that if a neighbor's wife has a private meeting, and his wife is at home due to illness, he owes his wife thousands of money, so he sends his wife to return it, and the wife happily goes.Unexpectedly, the neighbor's wife was out of date, but his wife was raped on the way. She took all her clothes, hairpins, and tied them to a bush.All guests are refugees, so there is no way to ask questions, but her husband is paralyzed and breathless, without saying a word.People don't know about their neighbor's wife.In the next few years, there was a son of a village woman who picked up women, and she was aware of it, and repeatedly warned her against it. She used this incident to clarify the cause and effect, and people know a little bit.Because this man and his neighbor's wife have heard about it, in fact, this woman is familiar with words, so she knows the trial.As for the name of the neighbor's wife, the wife has always refused to reveal it, but fortunately she has not been defeated. ●Wu Seng Huizhen said that there is a Zhejiang monk who is determined to be diligent, vows to be hard, and has never threatened to come to the banquet.One night, a beautiful woman peeped out of the house, knowing that the devil was coming, as if she hadn't heard of it.The woman is bewitched in all kinds of ways, and she can't get close to the Zen couch in the end, and she will come every night, and she can't make a thought in the end.The female skill is poor, and she said in a remote way: "The master's concentration is so strong, I should definitely cut off my delusions."Although, the teacher is also a man in the sky, knowing that if you approach me, you will lose your way, so you fear me like a tiger and wolf.Even if you strive to attain the heaven of non-non-imagination, it’s just as soft as your body, like hugging ice and snow, with a charming posture that reaches your eyes, like seeing dusty dust, you can’t separate yourself from the form; The moon reflects itself on the water, and the water does not know the moon, because it is separated from the form; when it comes to the bodhisattvas, the flowers have no flowers, the mirror has no mirror, the moon has no moon, and the water has no water. They are colorless and formless. It is incredible to be free.If the master dares to allow me to come close, and the vacuum is not stained, Matanga will take refuge wholeheartedly and will not disturb Ananda any more.The monk thinks that the power of the Tao is enough to defeat the demons, and he calmly promises it, leans on him and caresses him, but destroys the body of the precepts, regrets and loses his will, and dies.Husbands grind without phosphorous, nirvana without burnt, only saints can do it, even the great sages can do it.When this monk was agitated, he opened the door and bowed to the robbers. The world believed that he could do it, so he did what others dared not do. Those who died until they were defeated and broke up were all monks. ●Deshenzhai Fushi, whose celestial descended to the altar, did not write poems, and signed himself as Liu Zhongfu, but no one knew who it was.There is a national player on the side saying: It is the Southern Song Dynasty national player who has written four chess formulas.Please play chess, and the judge said: If you play chess, I will lose.I beg you, Nai Xu, but you will lose half of your son.The crowd said: "The great immortal is humble, and wants to reward the name of the underachiever?"The Judgment said: Otherwise, later generations will not be as good as the ancients in everything, but pushing steps and playing chess are all better than the ancients.Or it can be said that due to what the ancients have achieved, they have become more refined, so they have reached the top and can make progress again. This is for pushing the steps, not for playing chess.Gai's atmosphere is getting weaker and human feelings are getting better, and his technique of overthrowing and attacking, the two machines are fierce and ever-changing, so strange that there is no room for it.The ancients were often willing to do things that they were unwilling to do; the ancients often dared to take risks that they did not dare to take;Therefore, all the scheming in the world comes from the ancients.Playing chess is also one of the scheming, so the players of the Song and Yuan Dynasties have been one way away since the Ming Dynasty, and now they are half a way away.However, the ancient national players could only lose one way, and today's national players may lose to two ways and three ways.Is there any way to win in chess?It was also judged: There is no way to win forever, but there is a way to never lose, and if you don't play, you can never lose.With Su Hui's wisdom, the servant can become a ghost and fairy, idle in the world, with all his fame and aspirations exhausted, acting in every scene, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses.If the authorities are fighting for gains and losses, they should be cautious.Those who have experienced the world in the four seats sighed and breathed too much. ●Ji Cangzhou said that there was a fox who lived in a certain family's library for decades. In order to sort out the scrolls and expel insects and rats, those who were good at storing 砄 couldn't do it.Can talk to people, but never see the shape.When guests gather at banquets, they may leave a seat empty, and they also come out to socialize with each other. The tone of the words is quiet and elegant, but the conversation is subtle, and they often favor the people in their seats.One day, the wine rectification announced the wine policy, and it was about what everyone feared. Those who were unreasonable were punished, and those who were not alone were also punished.Some people are afraid of scholars, some people are afraid of famous scholars, some people are afraid of rich people, some people are afraid of noble officials, some people are afraid of kind and flattering people, some people are afraid of people who are too modest, some people are afraid of people with strict etiquette and laws, some people are afraid of silence Be careful, those who want to say nothing.Finally, he asked the fox, and he said: I am afraid of the fox.The crowd laughed and said: "It's okay for people to be afraid of foxes. You are of the same kind. What are you afraid of? Please clarify."The fox said: "Only the same kind can be feared in the world."The people of Ouyue do not compete with Xi Di for land; the people of Jianghai do not compete with chariots and horses for roads.Classes are different, those who compete for property must be with the father's son, those who compete for favor must be with the husband's wife, those who compete for power must be with officials, and those who compete for profit must be with the merchants of the market. Rolling ears.And those who shoot pheasants match with pheasants, but not chickens; those who catch deer use deer, not sheep and hogs.Any internal response must be of the same kind, and if it is not of the same kind, one cannot join in with one's preferences, and wait for the gap to resist.From Yisi, is the fox not afraid of the fox?Virgos who have experienced dangers and obstacles are often called the truth.The only guest drinking wine, the fox said: "Your words are true, but what the world fears is not what you are alone, so it is still appropriate to make it clear."But he left with a smile.Yu said that the fox's penalty should be reduced by half, because it hinders and crushes each other, and everyone in the world knows it.Between the elbow and armpit, it is a serious trouble for the confidant; if the contract of supporting water and milk is hidden, there are many people who don't know the deep plan of hiding the distance between the hook and the hook. ●The old Confucian Zhou Maoguan, who speaks Nanyin, does not remember who he is. He has been trapped in fame and fortune for a long time, and he has been living in poverty. He has been in Zhou Xiqing and He Huafeng's house.Huafeng's original surname was Zhou, or the family of the two monarchs?At the beginning of Qianlong, Yu Shangji saw it, he was clumsy and blunt, and he was also an ancient gentleman.Every time I took an exam, I was posted because of a small mistake in strokes, or I was sold and was dismissed with one or two characters, and I was also flattered. The last pen comes out with a sharp edge, that is, it is mistakenly pasted as a word, which is especially depressed and injustice.One day, he burned the Wenchang Temple and complained that he had never done any evil in his life, and he was depressed.数日后梦朱衣吏引至一殿，神据案语曰：尔功名坎坷，遽渎明神，徒挟怨尤，不知因果。尔前身本部院吏也，以尔狡黠舞文，故罚尔今生为书痴，毫不解事；以尔好指摘文牒，虽明知不误，而巧词锻炼，以挟制取财，故罚尔今生处处以字画见斥。因指簿示之曰：尔以曰字见贴者，此官前世乃福建驻防音德布之妻，老节妇也，因咨文写音为殷，译语谐声，本无定字，尔反覆驳诘，来往再三，使穷困孤嫠，所得建坊之金，不足供路费；尔以已字见贴者，此官前世以知县起服，本历俸三年零一月，尔需索不遂，改其文三字为五，一字为十，又以五年零十月移计，应得别案处分。比及辨白，坐原文错误，已沉滞年余。业报牵缠，今生相遇，尔何冤之可鸣欤？其他种种，皆有夙因，不能为尔备陈，亦不可为尔预泄。尔宜委顺，无更哓哓。傥其不信，则缁袍黄冠行，且有与尔为难者，可了然悟矣。语讫挥出，霍然而醒，殊不解缁袍黄冠之语。时方寓佛寺，因迁徙避之。至乙卯乡试，闱中已拟第十三。二场僧道拜父母判中，有长揖君亲字，盖用傅弈表不忠不孝削发而揖君亲语也。考官以为疵累，竟斥落。方知神语不诬，此其馆步丈陈谟家——名登廷，枣强人，官制造库郎中，自详述于步丈者。后不知所终，殆坎砆以殁矣。 ●虞倚帆待诏言，有选人张某，携一妻一婢至京师，僦居海丰寺街，岁余妻病殁，又岁余婢亦暴卒，方治砇，忽似有呼吸，既而目睛转动，已复苏，呼选人执手泣曰：一别年余，不意又相见。选人骇愕，则曰：君勿疑谵语，我是君妇，借婢尸再生也。此婢虽侍君巾栉，恒郁郁不欲居我下，商于妖尼以术魇我。我遂发病死，魂为术者收瓶中，镇以符咒，埋尼庵墙下，局促昏暗，苦状难言，会尼庵墙圮，掘地重筑圬者砈土破瓶，我乃得出，茫茫昧昧，莫知所往。伽蓝神指我诉城隍，而有魇法者皆有邪神为城社，辗转撑拄，狱不能成，达于东狱，乃捕逮术者鞫治，得状，拘婢付泥犁。我寿未尽，尸已久朽，故判借婢尸再生也。阖家悲喜，仍以主母事之。而所指作魇之尼，则谓选人欲以婢为妻，故诈死片时，造作斯语，不顾陷人于重辟，汹汹欲讦讼。事无实证，惧干妖妄罪，遂讳不敢言。然倚帆尝私叩其僮仆，具道妇再生后，述旧事无纤毫差，其语音行步，亦与妇无纤毫异。又婢拙女红而妇善刺绣，有旧所制履未竟，补成其半，宛然一手，则似非伪托矣。此雍正末年事也。 ●范衡洲——山阴人，名家相，甲戌进士，官柳州府知府——之侄女，未婚殉节，吞金环不死，卒自投于河。曾太守——嘉祥人，曾子裔也，偶忘其名字——之女以救母并焚死，其事迹始末，当时皆了了知之。今四十余年，不能举其详矣。奇闻易记，庸行易忘，固事理之常欤？附存姓氏，冀不泯幽光。孔子家语载弟子七十二人，固不必一一皆具行实尔。 ●蘅洲言其乡某甲，甚朴愿，一生无妄为。一日昼寝，梦数役持牒摄之去，至一公署，则冥王坐堂上，鞫以谋财杀某乙，某乙至亦执甚坚。盖某乙自外索逋归，天未曙，趁凉早发，遇数人，见腰缠累然，共击杀之，携赀遁弃尸岸旁。某甲偶棹舴艋过，见尸大骇，视之识为某乙，尚微有气，因属邻里抱置舟上，欲送之归。某乙垂绝忽稍苏，张目见某甲，以为众夺财去，某甲独载尸弃诸江也。故魂至冥司，独讼某甲。冥王检籍，云盗为某某，非某甲。某乙以亲见固争，冥吏又以冥籍无误理，与某乙固争。冥王曰：冥籍无误，论其常也。然安知千百万年不误者，不偶此一误乎？我断之不如人质之也，吏言之不如囚证之也。故拘某甲。某甲具述载送意，照以业镜，如所言，某乙乃悟。某甲初窃怪误拘，冥王告以故，某甲亦悟，遂别治某乙狱，而送某甲归。夫折狱之明决，至冥司止矣。案牍之详确，至冥司亦止矣。而冥王若是不自信也，又若是不惮烦也。斯冥王所以为冥王欤。 ●仲尼不为己甚，岂仅防矫枉过直哉，圣人之所虑远也。老子曰：民不畏死，奈何以死畏之。夫民未尝不畏死，至知必死乃不畏，至不畏死则无事不可为矣。小时闻某大姓为盗劫，悬赏格购捕，半岁余，悉就执，亦俱引伏。而大姓恨盗甚，以多金赂狱卒，百计苦之，至足不蹑地，胁不到席，束缚不使如厕，裤中蛆虫蠕蠕嘬股髀，惟不绝饮食，使勿速死而已。盗恨大姓甚，私计强劫得财，律不分首从斩。轮奸妇女，律亦不分首从斩。二罪从一科断，均归一斩，万无加至磔裂理。乃于庭鞫时，自供遍污其妇女，官虽不据以录供，而众口坚执，众耳共闻，迄不能灭此语。不善大姓者，又从而附会，谓盗已论死，足蔽罪，而不惜多金，又百计苦之，其衔恨次骨正以此。人言籍籍，亦无从而辨此疑，遂大为门户玷。悔已无及。夫劫盗骈戮，不能怨主人；即拷掠追讥，桎梏幽系，亦不能怨主人。法所应受也。至虐以法外，则其志不甘。掷石击石，力过猛必激而反。取一时之快，受百世之污，岂非已甚之故乎？然则圣人之所虑远矣。 ●霍养仲言，雍正初，东光有农家，粗具中人产。一夕，有劫盗不甚搜财物，惟就衾中曳其女，掖入后圃，仰缚曲项老树上，盖其意本不在劫也。女哭詈。客作高斗睡圃中，闻之跃起，挺刃出与斗，盗尽披靡。女以免，女恚愤泣涕，不语不食，父母宽譬，终不解。穹诘再三，始出一语曰：我身裸露，可令高斗见乎？父母喻意，竟以妻斗。此与楚钟建事适相类。然斗始愿不及此，徒以其父病，主为医药，及死为棺，敛葬以隙地，招其母司炊煮，故感激出死力耳。罗大经鹤林玉露载咏朱亥诗曰：高论唐虞儒者事，负君卖友岂胜言，凭君莫笑金椎陋，却是屠沽解报恩。至哉言乎？ ●太白诗曰：徘徊映歌扇，似月云中见，相见不相亲，不如不相见。此为冶游言也。人家夫妇有睽离阻隔，而日日相见者，则不知是何因果矣。郭石洲言，中州有李生者，娶妇旬余而母病，夫妇更番守侍，衣不解结者七八月。母殁后，谨守礼法，三载不内宿。后贫甚，同依外家。外家亦仅仅温饱，屋宇无多，扫一室留居。未匝月，外姑之弟远就馆，送母来依姊。无室可容，乃以母与女共一室，而李生别榻书斋，仅早晚同案食耳。阅两载，李生入京规进取，外舅亦携家就幕江西，后得信，云妇已卒。李生意气懊丧，益落拓不自存。仍附舟南下觅外舅，外舅已别易主人，随往他所。无所栖托，姑卖字糊口。一日，市中遇雄伟丈夫，取视其字曰：君书大好，能一岁三四十金，为人书记乎？李生喜出望外，即同登舟，烟水渺茫，不知何处。至家供张亦甚盛，及观所属笔札，则绿林豪客也。无可如何，姑且依止，虑有后患，因诡易里籍姓名。主人性豪侈，声伎满前，不甚避客。每张乐必召李生，偶见一姬酷肖其妇，疑为鬼姬，亦时时目李生，似曾相识，然彼此不敢通一语。盖其外舅江行，适为此盗所劫，见妇有姿首，并掠以去。外舅以为大辱，急市薄砇，诡言女中伤死，伪为哭敛，载以归。妇惮死失身，已充盗后房，故于是相遇。然李生信妇已死，妇又不知李生改姓名，疑为貌似，故两相失。大抵三五日必一见，见惯亦不复相目矣。如是六七年。一日主人呼李生曰：吾事且败，君文士，不必与此难，此黄金五十两，君可怀之，藏某处丛荻间，候兵退，速觅渔舟返，此地人皆识，君不虑其不相送也。语讫，挥手使急去伏匿，未几，闻哄然格斗声，既而闻传呼曰：盗已全队扬帆去，且籍其金帛妇女。时已曛黑，火光中窥见诸乐伎皆披发肉袒，反接系颈，以鞭杖驱之行，此姬亦在内，惊怖战栗，使人心恻。明日，岛上无一人，痴立水次良久，忽一人棹小舟呼曰：某先生耶？大王故无恙，且送先生返行。一日夜至岸，惧遭物色，乃怀金北归，至则外舅已先返，仍住其家。货所携，渐丰裕，念夫妇至相爱而结砊十载，始终无一月共枕席，今物力稍充，不忍终以薄砇葬，拟易佳木，且欲一睹其遗骨，亦夙昔之情。外舅力沮不能止，词穷吐实，急兼程至豫章，冀合乐昌之镜。则所俘乐伎，分赏已久，不知流落何所矣。每回忆六七年中，咫尺千里，辄惘然如失。又回忆被俘时，缧绁鞭笞之状，不知以后摧折，更复若何，又辄肠断也。从此不娶，闻后竟为僧。戈芥舟前辈曰：此事竟可作传奇，惜末无结束，与桃花扇相等。虽曲终不见，江上峰青，绵邈含情，正在烟波不尽，究未免增人怊怅耳。 ●金可亭言——此浙江金孝廉，名嘉炎，与金大司农同姓同号，各自一人——有赵公者，官监司，晚岁家居，得一婢曰紫桃，宠专房，他姬莫当夕，紫桃亦婉娈善奉事，呼之必在侧，百不一失。赵公固聪察，疑有异，于枕畔固诘，紫桃自承为狐，然夙缘当侍公，与公无害。真爱久，亦弗言。家有园亭，一日立两室间呼紫桃，则两室各一紫桃出，乃大骇。紫桃谢曰：妾分形也。偶春日策杖郊外，逢道士与语，甚有理致，情颇洽，问所自来，曰为公来，公本谪仙，限满当归三岛，今金丹已为狐所盗，不可复归，再不治，虑寿限亦减。仆公旧侣，故来视公。赵公心知紫桃事，邀同归，道士踞坐厅事，索笔书一符，曼声长啸，邸中纷纷扰扰，有数十紫桃，容色衣饰，无毫发差，跪庭院皆满。道士呼真紫桃出，众相顾曰无真也。又呼最先紫桃出，一女叩额曰婢子是。道士叱曰：尔盗赵公丹已非，又呼朋引类，务败其道，何也？女对曰：是有二故，赵公前生，炼精四五百年，元关坚固，非更番迭取不能得，然赵公非碌碌者，见众美沓进，必觉为蛊惑，断不肯纳。故终始共幻一形，匿其迹也。今事已露，愿散去。道士挥手令出。顾赵公太息曰：小人献媚旅进，君子弗受也。一小人伺君子之隙，投其所尚，众小人从而阴佐之，则君子弗觉矣。易姤卦之初六，一阴始生，其象为系于金柅，柅以止车，示当止也。不止则履霜之初，即坚冰之渐，浸假而剥卦六五至矣。今日之事，是之谓乎？然苟无其隙，虽小人不能伺，苟无所好，虽小人不能投。千金之堤，溃于蚁漏，有罅故也。公先误涉旁门，欲讲容成之术，既而耽玩艳冶，失其初心，嗜欲日深，故妖物乘之而麇集。衅因自起，于彼何尤，此始此终，固亦其理，驱之而不谴，盖以是耳。吾来稍晚，于公事已无益，然从此摄心清静，犹不失作九十翁。再三珍重。瞥然而去，赵公后果寿八十余。 ●居卫河侧者，言河之将决，中流之水必凸起，高于两岸，然不知其在何处也。至棒椎鱼集于一处，则所集之处，不一两日溃矣。父老相传，验之百不失一。棒椎鱼者，象其形而名，平时不知在何所，网钓亦未见得之者。至河暴涨乃麇至，护堤者见其以首触岸，如万杵齐筑，则决在斯须间矣。岂非数哉。然唐尧洪水，天数也，神禹随刊，则人事也。惟圣人能知天，惟圣人不委过于天，先事而绸缪，后事而补救，虽不能消弭，亦必有所挽回。 ●蒋心余言，有客赴人游湖约，至则画船箫鼓，红裙而侑酒者，谛视乃其妇也，去家二千里，不知何流落到此，惧为辱，噤不敢言，妇乃若不相识，无恐怖意，亦无惭愧意。调丝度曲，引袖飞觞，恬如也，惟声音不相似。又妇笑好掩口，此妓不然，亦不相似，而右腕红痣如粟颗，乃复宛然。大惑不解，草草终筵，将治装为归计，俄得家书，妇半载前死矣，疑为见鬼，亦不复深求。所亲见其意态殊常，密诘再三，始知其故。咸以为貌偶同也。后闻一游士来往吴越间，不事干谒，不通交游，亦无所经营贸易，惟携姬媵数辈闭门居，或时出一二人，属媒媪卖之而已。以为贩鬻妇女者，无与人事，莫或过问也。一日，意甚匆遽，急买舟欲赴天目山，求高行僧作道场，僧以
