Love telling stories: the old man under the moon

There was a scholar named Gu Wei in the Tang Dynasty. His parents died when he was very young, and he became an orphan. So he always wanted to get married early and start his own family. Unfortunately, marriage never came true.

One night in the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep and went out for a walk.

When he came to a temple, he saw an old man sitting on the steps, turning pages by moonlight, with a big cloth bag beside him.

Wei Gu saw that the old man was studying hard, so he went quietly to see what he was reading.

Who knows that when he looks at it, he doesn't know any words in the book.

So he said to the old man, "I have read many poetry books, but how come I don't know a word of your book?"

The old man smiled and said, "This is a heavenly book, not a terrestrial book. Of course you don't understand. "

Gu Wei asked the old man what was written in the book.

The old man said, "This book is about the marriage of men and women in the world."

Wei Gu asked him with a grain of salt what was in the bag next to him.

The white-haired old man said, "The red line is in the bag. As long as the red line is tied to the feet of husband and wife, from then on, even enemies, rich and poor, regardless of separation from each other, will eventually form a husband and wife. "

Wei Gu was even more surprised and asked, "I just want to ask a question about marriage. I am not young, but I have never been able to get married. I always run into obstacles. Recently, I was introduced to the satrap's daughter. Do you think this marriage will work? "

The white-haired old man flipped through the books, shook his head and said, "No, your wife is only three years old now. She won't marry you until she is sixteen. Wait patiently! "

Wei Gu can't wait to ask the old man to take him to see his future wife.

The old man took him to a vegetable market, pointed to the baby in the arms of a one-eyed woman and said, "She is your future wife."

Wei Gu was very angry. He said: "I was born in a doctor's family. How can such a family get married? I want to kill her! "

The old man said, "It's destiny takes a hand. Don't do this! "

After that, the old man disappeared.

Wei Gu ordered his confidant to kill the little girl.

Year after year, although someone found a matchmaker for Wei Gu, it was useless.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten years later, Wei Gu received the attention of the Secretariat and married his daughter.

Wei Gu was very happy. After waiting for so many years, he finally got married. Besides, the bride is as beautiful as a fairy.

He thought to himself, the old man is a pure liar. My wife's family belongs to the secretariat, and she is a prominent person, not a vegetable seller in the vegetable market.

But strangely, the bride always inserts a paper flower between her eyebrows and never takes it off.

Wei Gu couldn't help it. One day, while he was not looking, his wife tore off the paper flower and saw a scar between her eyebrows.

The wife cried and said that her father was originally a county magistrate, but when she was a baby, her parents and brother died one after another. The wet nurse pitied her and took her home. The wet nurse sells vegetables. One day she hugged her, but I didn't expect a bad guy to come and stab her eyebrows, leaving this scar, so I had to cover it with paper flowers.

Later, her uncle came to meet her. Later, her uncle became a secretariat and married her to Wei Gu in the name of her daughter.

Hearing this, Wei Gu broke out in a cold sweat, and he quickly found his confidant to ask.

His confidant quickly knelt down and said, "My Lord, I really couldn't do it, so I stabbed her eyebrows and ran away."

Gu Wei was surprised and regretted. Surprisingly, what he said to the old man who used to turn over books was true. What he regrets is that he was confused and sent someone to kill his wife, leaving a scar on his beautiful wife.

This miracle has also been handed down, and everyone believes that the old man is the fairy who is in charge of human marriage this month.
