Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 35
Do not plant weeping willow branches when planting trees, and do not make frivolous friends when making friends.Poplar branches are not resistant to autumn winds, they are thin and easy to knot and separate.Don't you see, the two of you remember each other in the book yesterday, and you don't know each other when you meet today!It is not as good as Yang Zhi, which can last for a long time, once the spring breeze looks back.

This speech is "Make Friends", and it is the most difficult to make friends.Today I will talk about a scholar who was born in the time of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty. His surname is Zhang Mingshao, and his character is Yuanbo. He is from Nancheng, Ruzhou.The family is based on agriculture, and he studies hard; he is 35 years old and has never been married.His mother is nearly [-] years old, and his younger brother Zhang Qin works hard to farm for two meals.At that time, the emperor of Han Dynasty sought talents.Shao resigned from his mother, left his brothers, and went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to apply for the exam.It's not just one day in Lufei.It's not far from Luoyang. On the evening of the same day, I stayed in a shop for a rest.It was night, and I often heard voices from the neighbors.Shao Zhiwan asked the waiter in the shop, "Who is the voice calling from the wall?" The waiter replied, "It's a scholar, suffering from a chronic disease, and dying here." Shao said, "Since you are gentle, you should see it." The waiter said Said: "Plague has passed through people, we still don't go to see him; scholar, you stop!" Shao said: "Death and life have fate, and there is a reason why sickness can surpass others? I have to look at it." Xiao Er couldn't persuade him. .Shao Nai pushed the door and entered, and saw a man lying on his back on an earthen couch, his face was yellow and thin, and he only called out, "Save me!" : "Don't worry, gentleman, Zhang Shao is also a candidate. Now that you are seriously ill, I will do my best to save you. I will offer medicine, bait, porridge and food myself, and I will be relieved." The man said: "If a gentleman saves you I'm sick, and I'll be rewarded generously." Shao immediately asked people to ask for medical treatment.Flea night soup, porridge, and food are provided by Shao.

After a few days, the sweating and sickness subsided, and gradually he died, and he was able to stand up and walk.Shao Wenzhi was from Shanyang, Chuzhou. His surname was Fan, his given name was Shi, and his courtesy name was Juqing. He was 40 years old.A businessman in the world, his parents died when he was young, and he has a wife and children.Nearly abandoned merchants, came to Luoyang to apply for the exam.When Fan Juqing died, he missed the trial period.Fan said: "Nowadays, because of the illness, I have mistaken the name of my step, and I feel very uncomfortable." Shao said: "A man puts loyalty as the most important thing, and fame and wealth are trivial. It has been determined, so why is there any mistake?" This and Zhang Shao are like flesh and blood, and they become brothers.Shi Shi was five years older, and Zhang Shao worshiped Fan Shi as his elder brother.

After becoming sworn brothers, they stayed with each other day and night, unconsciously for half a year.Paradigm thought about returning, Zhang Shaohe calculated the rent and returned the money to the shopkeeper.The two walked together for several days, and when they arrived at the parting point, Zhang Shao wanted to send Fan Shi back.Fan Shi said: "If that's the case, I will send it back. Why don't we just say goodbye and meet again." The two drank together in a wine shop, saw yellow flowers and red leaves, and decorated them with autumn lights to help the parting.There is a cup of dogwood in the wine room, and I asked the restaurant, and I knew it was the Double Ninth Festival.Fan Shi said: "My parents died when I was young, and I was in business. Although the scriptures are careful, I am tired of my wife. Fortunately, my brother has an old mother in the church. Your mother is also my mother. On this day in the coming year, I will go to the house of my brother to pay homage. Mother, to show the friendship of the whole family." Zhang Shao said: "But the village has nothing to pay for. If the elder brother does not abandon it, we should set up chickens and millet to wait for it. Fortunately, we will not lose our faith." Fan Shi said: "How can you break your trust with a good brother? Yeah?" The two drank several cups, unable to bear to part with each other.Zhang Shao bid farewell to Paradigm.After Fan Shi left, Shao gazed and wept; Shi also looked back and wept, and the two left disconsolately.There are poems as evidence: Hand-picked yellow flowers are used to spread wine, and the hospitality is first set for every other year.Lin Qi couldn't bear to separate lightly, holding hands Yiyi each shed tears.

Let's say that when Zhang Yuanbo comes home, he sees his mother.The mother said: "As soon as my son left, I didn't hear from him. It made me look forward to it, like hunger and thirst." Zhang Shao said: "The unfilial man met Fan Juqing in Shanyang on the way, and became brothers, and stayed for a long time." The mother said: "Juqing Who is it?" Zhang Shaobei explained in detail.Mother said: "Fame and fame are all determined. Since I make friends with people of faith, I am very happy." After a short engraving, my brother returned, and I also learned from the beginning of this matter, and everyone was happy.

From then on, Zhang Shao stayed at home and continued to study the history of books to pass the time.Time is passing quickly, approaching the Double Ninth Festival.Shao Nai raised a fat chicken in advance, and Du brewed turbid wine.On that day, fleas rise up and sweep the thatched cottage; in the middle there is a female seat, next to Fan Juqing's seat; chrysanthemums are placed in vases all over the place, and letter incense is burned on the seat.Call my brother to slaughter chickens and cook rice for Juqing.The mother said: "Shanyang is here, and it is thousands of miles away. I am afraid that Juqing may not come as expected. When he comes, it is not too late to kill the chicken." Shao said: "Juqing, a believer, must arrive today, and I will miss the chicken." The covenant with millet? When you enter the door, you can see what you promised, which shows that I have been waiting for a long time. If you wait for a giant to come and then slaughter him, you don’t see my intention to kill him.” The mother said: “My son’s friend must be a good scholar. "Then cook and wait.

It was a sunny day with no clouds in the sky.Shao adjusted his clothes and looked at the independent village.Look at near noon, but you don't see it.The mother was afraid that she would miss the farm and mulberry, so she ordered Zhang Qin to go to the field to harvest.Zhang Shao heard the dogs barking in front of the village, and then looked at them again. This happened six or seven times.Seeing the red sun sinking to the west, and a half-round new moon appearing, the mother went out of the house and ordered the younger brother to call Shao and say: "My son is tired after standing for a long time!

Could it be that Juqing is not coming today?And since dinner. Shao said to his younger brother, "How do you know that Juqing is not here?"If Brother Fan doesn't come, I swear not to return.You farmer is tired, you can rest yourself. "Mother and brother repeatedly persuaded him to return, but Shao finally refused.

Wait deeper and rest each.Shao leaned on the door and was intoxicated, and the sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees, could not be Fan Lai, everyone was surprised.Seeing the Milky Way Geng Geng, Yuyu Yuyu Chengcheng, gradually to the third watch, the moonlight is gone.Faintly seen in the shadows, a person came with the wind.Shao regards it as Juqing.Then I worshiped enthusiastically and said with great joy: "I have been waiting since the fleas, and I know that my brother is not trustworthy, and my brother has come to fruition. The chicken and millet that I promised in the old year have been prepared for a long time. The road is far away and dusty, don't people come with me?" " Then please go to the thatched cottage to meet your mother.Fan Shi didn't answer, and walked into the thatched cottage.Zhang Shao pointed to the couch and said: "This seat is specially set up for my brother, who is the high seat." Zhang Shao smiled, and then bowed to the ground and said: "My brother has come from a long way, and the journey is tiring, and I can't see my mother. See you. Du stuffed chicken and millet, let's talk and satisfy our hunger." After saying that, he bowed again.Paradigm stood still, but covered his face with the sleeves of his shirt.Shao Nai rushed into the kitchen, took chicken, millet and wine, put them in front of him, and worshiped before entering.Said: "Although the wine confusion is slight, Shao's heart is also there. Fortunately, brother, don't blame me." But seeing Fan Yuying in the shadow, he used his hands to play with his breath and didn't eat.Shao said: "Brother, don't you blame my mother and younger brother for not being close to each other and refusing to eat it? Please ask my mother to come out and punish the crime together." Fan shook his hand and stopped.Shao said: "How about calling my brother to worship my brother?" Fan Yi waved his hand and stopped.Shao said: "Brother, how about drinking after eating chicken and millet?" Fan frowned, as if telling Zhang to back off.Shao said: "Chicken and millet are not enough to serve the elders. It is Shao's appointment on that day. Fortunately, there is no suspicion." Fan said: "My brother backed up a little bit, and I should complain to my heart's content. I am not a person in the mortal world, but a ghost." Shao was startled and said, "Why did you say that, brother?" Fan said, "After parting with my brother, I returned home because of my wife's hunger, and drowned in merchants. The world is rolling, and the years are rushing, and it is another year before you know it. The appointment with the chicken and millet in the past is not without concern; I was caught by the fly, and I forgot the date. Today, I sent cornel wine to the right, so I knew it was the Double Ninth Festival. I suddenly remembered the appointment with my virtuous brother, and my heart was drunk. Shanyang So far, thousands of miles away, it is not possible to arrive in a day. If it is not as expected, what do you think of me? The covenant of chicken and millet is self-confidence, let alone a big event? There is no way to think about it. I often hear the ancient saying: people can't do it Thousands of miles, the soul can travel thousands of miles a day. So he told his wife: "After I die, don't bury me. I can only go to the ground when my brother Zhang Yuanbo arrives." Tell me, I slay myself and die. The soul is shattered by the wind, and I come to the chicken millet. Promise. My virtuous brother Wanwang has pity on the foolish brother, forgives his negligence, and learns from his ferocious sincerity; he is willing to say goodbye to my relatives without traveling thousands of miles, and when he sees my dead body in Shanyang, he will die with no regrets." The end of the speech , burst into tears like a spring, left the couch in a hurry, and went down the stairs.Shao Nai followed him step by step, but suddenly stepped on the moss and fell to the ground upside down.With the wind blowing, I don't know where Juqing is.There are poems to prove it: the wind blows and the moon night is three o'clock, and the ghosts of thousands of miles reminisce about the old alliance.I only hate how many people in the world break their promises, so I will see my life in death.

Zhang Shao was drunk like a dream, and wept loudly.The crying sound alarmed his mother and younger brother, who looked at it anxiously, and saw that chicken, millet, wine and fruit were displayed in the hall, and Zhang Yuanbo passed out on the ground.Wake him up with water and help him to the hall. He couldn't speak for a long time, and cried until he died.Mother asked: "Your brother, Juqing, if you don't come, what good or bad is it? Why bother to cry like this!" Shao said, "Juqing made an agreement with chicken and millet, and he died of an untimely death." Mother said, "How do you know it?" Shao said: "I saw Juqing coming in person at the right time, and invited him to sit down. He was greeted with chicken and millet. But seeing that he didn't eat, I begged again and again. Juqing said: I have been working hard for merchants, and I have forgotten the date. Now the fleas are awake, and I am afraid of losing money. I made an appointment, so I slayed myself and died. The ghosts are thousands of miles away, and I came to see you. The mother can let the son go to Shanyang to bury the brother's body, and the son can pack the luggage." The mother cried: "The ancients said that the prisoner dreamed of forgiveness, Thirsty people have dream milk. This is my son who has been thinking about it, so I have this dream to alert my ears." Shao said: "It is not a dream. My son saw it in person, and the wine and food were there. If you can't chase it, it suddenly turns upside down. Is it a dream? Juqing is a man of integrity, how can you repay him in vain!" My younger brother said, "This is unbelievable.

If someone goes to Shanyang, he should ask him whether it is real or not. Shao said: "Humans are born with heaven and earth. Heaven and earth have five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, while humans have five constants, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith to match them.To match benevolence with wood, choose its business; to match righteousness with gold, choose its firmness; to match ritual with water, choose its modesty; to match wisdom with fire, choose its clarity; to match faith with earth, choose its thickness. .The sage said: "The big cart has no legs, and the small cart has no legs. How can it be done?" ’ You said: ‘Everyone has died since ancient times, and the people cannot stand without faith. "Since Juqing has died for his faith, how can I not go if I don't believe it?"My younger brother specializes in agriculture, so I can serve my mother; after I go, I will be more respectful; Then he bid farewell to his mother and said, "Zhang Shao, an unfilial man, is now his righteous brother Fan Juqing, who died for his faith. He must be hanged."He has repeatedly urged Zhang Qin to serve his mother.The female beard flea is forced to eat at night, don't worry about it, and take good care of your body.Shao could not be loyal to the country, and could not be filial to the family, so he was born between the ears of heaven and earth.I should resign now, with all confidence. "The mother said: "My son went to Shanyang, thousands of miles away, and returned after a month or so. Why did you say unfavorable words? Shao said: "Life is like a float, and the matter of death and life cannot be guaranteed overnight." "Weeping and worshiping. Brother said: "Qin and brother go together, how about it? Uncle Yuan said: "My mother has no one to serve her. You should do your best to serve her and don't make me worry." "Farewell brother who shed tears, carry a small book bag, just come to fleas. There are poems as evidence: Saying goodbye to brother to Shanyang, the dream of traveling thousands of miles away is long. Is it for friends to despise flesh and blood? It is only because of faith. Along the road When I was hungry, I didn’t choose food, and I didn’t think about clothes when I was cold. I stayed in a shop overnight, and cried even in my dreams. I started to rush every day, wishing I could have two wings. After a few days, I arrived at Shanyang. At the head of his house. Seeing that the door was locked, he asked a neighbor. The neighbor said, "Juqing has been dead for twenty-seven years. His wife helped the coffin and went to Guowai for burial.The mourners have not returned yet. Shao asked where he was going, ran to the outside of Guo, and saw a new earthen wall built in front of the mountain forest. There were dozens of people outside the wall, looking at each other in amazement. Shao sweated like rain, and went to watch it. See one The woman, wearing heavy filial piety, had a son, about seventeen or eighteen years old, who lay in the coffin and cried. Uncle Yuan shouted, "Is this the coffin of Fan Juqing? "

His wife said: "Could it be Zhang Yuanbo who came here?" Zhang said: "Zhang Shao has never been here before, why is he known by name?" , I often talk about the virtue of the virtuous uncle. On the day of the first Chongyang Festival, the husband suddenly lost his behavior. He said to the concubine: I have lost the great faith of Yuan Bo. What good is life in vain! It is often heard that people cannot travel thousands of miles. I would rather die than dare to make mistakes. The covenant of chicken and millet. After death, I can't be buried. I can't put it in the ground until Uncle Yuan comes to see my corpse. Today is the [-]th, and people persuaded: "I don't know when Yuanbo will come. I will be buried first, and then I will report to the unknown. It's late.' So the coffin came here. They dragged the coffin into the golden well, but couldn't move, so they stopped in front of the grave, and everyone was surprised. Seeing that uncle came so quickly from afar, it must be so." Yuan Bo fell to the ground crying .The woman also mourned greatly, and all the mourners shed tears.

Uncle Yuan took money from his bag and ordered him to buy sacrifices, incense, candles, paper and silk, and display them in front of him.Take out the sacrificial oration, pour wine and worship again, and read it while weeping.Wen said: "Wei's year, month and day, Qidi brother Zhang Shao. I would like to sacrifice to the spirit of Fan Junzhi, my brother and great minister, with roasted chicken flake wine. Poor way, hairpin in a deserted shop. Yellow flowers for nine days, liver and diaphragm allied; Green sword for three autumns, head can be broken. Pity the desolation under the moon, seems to be nostalgic during the day. My brother is leaving his mother today, and he is looking for clear water and green pines; brother also Tell your wife to wait for the plain car to practice in vain. The old friend is so farewell, who will be the gold and stone alliance?

The husband is naturally light, and wants to press Kunwu's neck.Through the ages without grinding, we must practice what we say.If the spirit is still there, it is expected to be a long-term companion on the way to death.Woah!Shang Yang. " Uncle Yuan sent out the coffin and looked at it, weeping and mourning. Looking back at his sister-in-law, he said: "A brother died for his brother, how can he be the only one?I already have the cost of the coffin in my bag. I hope my sister-in-law will show mercy and never abandon my humbleness. It is a great fortune in my life to bury Shao next to my brother. "Sister-in-law said: "Why did uncle say this? Shao said: "My will has been decided, don't be surprised." "After speaking, he drew his saber and killed himself. Everyone was astonished, and made a sacrifice for him, and buried him in Juqing's tomb with a coffin.

The prefect of this state heard about it and played it out.The Emperor Ming pitied him for his deep faith, and although his two lives were not ranked, they can still be commended and given to encourage future generations.Fan Juqing presented it to Uncle Shanyang, and Uncle Zhang Yuanbo presented it to Uncle Runan.A temple was built in front of the tomb, named "Ancestral Hall of Xinyi", and the name of the tomb was "Tomb of Xinyi".Jing Biao door Lu.Officials give food and clothing to feed their sons.Fan Chunshou, the son of Juqing, and the first Jinshi, the official Honglu Temple Minister.Up to now, the historical sites in Shanyang still exist, and there are many inscriptions.Only Anonymous's "Traveling on Shasha" is the best. The word cloud: Thousands of miles away, every year is far away, and a few words promise to keep the heart unchanged.Rather entrust your faith to wandering souls, and work in the hall.

The moon is dark and the lights are dim, and the tears are like threads. Although life and death are separated by love, there is no limit.If the soul is waiting for an old friend to come, Huang Quan will meet again with a smile.
