Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

A scholar named Zhang Junsheng, who was preparing for the imperial examination, rented a dilapidated courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, intending to study hard and win the first prize.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a strange noise.

The scholar didn't care.

After a while, the candles became dim again, and the windows began to open by themselves. The wind blew in and almost blew out the candles.

The scholar still didn't care and kept reading with his head down.

The mischievous female ghost Xie Wanying felt a little discouraged when she saw that the scholar did not react.

So he showed up, walked up to the scholar, and wanted to scare him.

Unfortunately, the scholar still didn't respond.

Instead, he saw the female ghost suddenly appear and started chatting: "My name is Zhang Junsheng. May I know your name, young lady?"

Duoduo【This scholar is so brave! 】

Female ghost: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Scholar: "Why should I be afraid?"

"Everyone knows that ghosts are the most yin things in the world. That's why everyone trembles with fear when they mention ghosts and gods. Why are you different from others?"

"No. Lao Tzu said: 'All things in heaven and earth are transformed by qi.' This means that all things are half yin, half yang. After death, all things transform into spirits. So, in reality, there is no difference between humans and ghosts and gods."

Humans' fear of ghosts and gods stems from a fear of the unknown, not a genuine fear of ghosts. The ancients said, "If you possess righteousness, ghosts and gods will not invade you." Although I'm not a gentleman, I'm not afraid of ghosts either.

After a pause, the scholar continued, "Besides, people say ghosts are treacherous and evil, but who dares to read a person's heart? I'm afraid they are even more treacherous, hypocritical, and evil than ghosts, right?"

The female ghost fell silent when she heard such words for the first time.

The scholar asked, "After death, most people go to the underworld and are reborn. But you are staying in the human world. What difficulties do you have?"

The female ghost had been trapped here for nearly 20 years. When she heard someone asking her for the first time, she told them about her experience.

"My real name is Xie Wanying. I'm the only daughter in my family. One day, the governor was out and about, and he saw me and immediately wanted to take me as his concubine. I refused, so he had my parents killed and forced me into his mansion. I endured the humiliation and tried to please him, knowing that one day I would poison him and avenge my wrath.

But I was discovered by his wife. She was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to kill me, so she gave me to the prime minister as a concubine in exchange for her own career.

The Prime Minister's wife was a jealous person. She hated anyone who was more beautiful than her. She ordered my appearance to be disfigured and brought me here to destroy my body.

Unfortunately, even though I've transformed into a ghost, I don't have any powerful magical powers. I wanted to seek revenge at the Governor's Mansion, but was scared away by the door gods and ghost-suppressing talismans at the Governor's gate. The same thing happened at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

I am unwilling to reincarnate, so I have no choice but to stay here."

After hearing this, the scholar felt sympathy and made a promise: "Don't worry, young lady. If I pass the imperial examination in three years, I will definitely clear your name."

So during these three years, the two of them spent every day together and secretly fell in love with each other, but because they were humans and ghosts, they had different paths, so they never revealed their true feelings, and only expressed their feelings within the bounds of propriety.

Three years later, the scholar was admitted to high school.

But he was still too naive. Without any foundation, he wanted to touch the big tree of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The result was predictable - he was thrown into prison and died with hatred.

"Ginger Immortal, I dare not ask for anything else. I only hope that you can help Miss Xie clear her name."

Sheng Jiang teased, "Don't you want to live with Miss Xie?"

"If possible, I would naturally think about it."

"Wait!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.

When Sheng Jiang came over, she saw countless women on the city wall screaming and throwing handkerchiefs, flowers,

Holy shit, there's even someone throwing away a bellyband? Are the women here so open-minded? Even though it's newly made, this is still not good, right? Jiang quickly dodged, and the bellyband fell to the ground.

Looking at the big white horse under him, he saw its steady steps and a very proud look on his face.

"Oh wow? I'm the top scorer!" Sheng Jiang and Duo Duo said excitedly.

"I won the top spot for free without taking an exam. Who else but me?" Sheng Jiang started to show off again.

Duoduo rolled his eyes and said nothing. I just watched you show off quietly.

Sheng Jiang continued to brag: "You said that I am now handsome, suave, talented, and gentle. Will many girls fall in love with me? Then how can I refuse? Will it hurt their fragile hearts? I am such a loving person, and I can't bear to see them sad. But I can't marry them, what should I do?"

Get more sleep and play dead.

After enduring for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore and said slowly: [Ginger, do you want to see your expression now?]

Jiang looked over and thought, "Huh? Why is no one paying attention to me all of a sudden? Are they all running behind to throw handkerchiefs to those two people?"

【What's going on, Duoduo? 】

[Isn't it because your expression is too vulgar that it scares people away?] Lots of ridicule.

"Oh, I see. That's good, I don't have to worry about not being able to marry them. Duoduo, actually, that was my plan just now. Pretty clever, right?"

Duoduo turned off the microphone again and went to sleep.

The number one scholar had his own mansion, with servants and maids. Sheng Jiang didn't have to do anything but protect the mansion.

"Duoduo, I've seen a lot of animal worlds. Male animals, like lions and tigers, often go out to patrol their territories, while female animals are responsible for raising children at home."

【Um? 】

[I think this is quite similar to ancient society, but simpler than ancient society.

When male animals fight for territory, they're simple and brutal: they fight, and the loser goes away. Humans, on the other hand, engage in all sorts of intrigue, hypocrisy, and hypocrisy, often spouting so-called morality and righteousness, ultimately leaving them unaware of their fate.

Female animals take care of their children and hunt for food, and males are often not at home, so they don't have to compete for favors. Instead, some can help each other. They also don't have to deal with various matters in the backyard. After all, they don't have elders, don't have to pay their respects or serve them every day, and there are no moral constraints to hold them hostage.

For a moment, I didn't know whether it was better to be an animal or a human.

Duoduo also fell into deep thought. Well, I am just a cat, no, not even a cat, why should I think about these things?

In the morning, there was a sudden loud noise in Zhuangyuan Mansion, followed by a white light, and then a colorful auspicious cloud slowly floated up. On the auspicious cloud, Sheng Jiang sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and remained silent, with clouds and mist swirling behind him.

There are also cranes flying and then soaring above it. This scene is so beautiful that it makes people marvel.

There is a poem from the Tang Dynasty:

Colorful clouds rise from the distant mountains and sway into the clear sky.

Take advantage of the changes and expand and contract as you wish, without any intention of starting or ending.

Ginger: [Duoduo, is this awesome enough?]

Duoduo also smiled proudly: [So, who is this meow-sama? ]

"That's right. As long as I become a figure more powerful than the Emperor, Xie Wanying and Zhang Junsheng's affairs will be handled naturally without my intervention. Hehe, I'm really too smart."

Many people saw the living gods and began to kneel down and worship, praying for the gods' favor.

The current emperor also wanted to seek immortality. When he heard about this, he quickly made arrangements and personally visited the No. 1 Scholar's residence.

Seeing the Zhuangyuan Mansion bathed in a radiant glow, he was filled with awe and knelt down to pay his respects. "I am the Emperor of the Cloud Kingdom. I was unaware that Mr. Zhang was an immortal who had descended to earth. This was my fault. I hope the immortal will descend to speak to me."

When the pretense was almost over, Sheng Jiang descended from the clouds, walked up to the emperor, and gave him a light hand. "It's not your Majesty's fault. I was meditating last night and had a sudden enlightenment. I wandered away for a while and forgot to come back. This morning, my soul returned to its place, and I felt ecstatic and couldn't control myself for a moment. I hope your Majesty will not blame me."

How could His Majesty be surprised? He would have loved to have an immortal guide him and help him achieve immortality.

As for the throne, he quickly passed it on to the people below and enjoyed some leisure time.

"You are joking, Immortal. I wonder if you would be willing to return to the palace with me?"

"can."

Seeing Sheng Jiang agreed, the emperor was extremely happy and quickly made arrangements. He rode in the same chariot with the immortal. The emperor felt that his breathing became smoother and his mind became clearer. The fatigue from reviewing memorials in recent days was gone, and he felt that he could live another 50 years.

That's right, I added a lot of brain-stimulating pills. More complaints.

As for breathing smoothly? Isn't it because the emperor himself has a cold and a stuffy nose? Anyone with a little common sense knows that when the nose is blocked, put some ginger next to it, and it will be smooth after a while.

Alas, if I had a kindergarten diploma, I wouldn’t be deceived by Jiang and would be willing to help her.

Is this what it means to be sold and still have to help count the money? For a moment, Duoduo felt sympathy for the emperor.

Back at the palace, the emperor took Sheng Jiang in his arms and asked happily, "Immortal, what do you think of my talent? Can I become an immortal? If so, can you guide me? How about giving me this position?"

Sheng Jiang: "Why are you still cheating me? You don't want to be the emperor, and neither do I. Everyone knows that sitting in this position means being in fear every day. But my qualifications..."

The emperor looked uneasy for a moment, and Sheng Jiang smiled. "Speaking of which, I've been to many mortal realms, and there aren't many people with your aptitude for cultivation. If you can let go of wealth and fame and practice diligently, you will achieve immortality sooner or later."

After a pause, Sheng Jiang said, "But..."

The emperor's heart was lifted, just put down, and then lifted again... Is this immortal so fun? Or he followed the ginger's words and asked, "But what?"

"Your Majesty also knows that my name in the mortal world is Zhang Junsheng..."

The emperor looked at her in disbelief: "He was the number one scholar I personally selected. I know his knowledge and character. How could he become an immortal overnight?"

"Bao Yisi, did you find out? But it doesn't matter. I came here because of him. In the house where he studied in the suburbs of Beijing, there is a female ghost named Xie Wanying."

The emperor looked at her speechlessly: "Is this true? Is this the real-life version of Ghost? Quick, how far have they progressed? Is there that…"

Ginger: This style of painting is not right. The emperor also likes to eat melons?

"In fact, Zhang Junsheng's success in becoming the new top scholar was entirely thanks to Xie Wanying. When Zhang Junsheng first arrived in the capital, Xie Wanying accompanied him through his late-night studies. Zhang Junsheng had promised that if he passed, he would redress Xie Wanying's injustice.

Therefore, Your Majesty, since I came here because of Zhang Junsheng, I must naturally bear the brunt of his karma. Because not only did he fail to avenge Xie Wanying, but he also died unjustly.

"How touching! What a great couple! Such a star-crossed couple. I'm going to order people to write their story into a play and pass it down." The emperor's eyes were red.

That’s not right. Shouldn’t the emperor not show his emotions on his face?

"Hey, you are an emperor. Is it really okay to be so sentimental?" Sheng Jiang saw that the emperor had been crying for a while and had not stopped.

"I...separated!"

"Why is this even tagged as a tearjerker? Is it really that touching?"

"I... yes, tears, wet wipes, physique"

Sheng Jiang realized: "It must have been difficult for you these past few years, right?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't asked, but once he did, the emperor cried even harder.

For so many years, over 40 years, no one has ever asked me if I'm doing well, not even my father, the emperor, and my mother. They just think I'm a prince, and crying easily is a disgrace to the royal family, so they only scold me. This is the first time someone has thought my life is not easy, sob.

Sensing the emperor's thoughts, Sheng Jiang wanted to persuade him again, but... the more she persuaded, the more tears she shed, and finally she burst into tears.

I simply stopped trying to persuade him and just stood by and handed the emperor tissues.

The emperor finally stopped crying after using a large pack of tissues.

Then I saw a tissue I had never seen before: "What is this? It's quite useful?"

Ginger: "I brought it here. If you want, I can give you some?"

Emperor: "I want to see if it can be produced domestically. What raw materials are these made of?"

Ginger: "It's easy, trees. I'll send you the instructions. But don't cut down too many trees."

Duoduo's real-time reminder: "Ginger, are you getting off topic?"

"Oh, weren't you interrupted by the emperor's crying?" So Sheng Jiang asked the emperor about Xie Wanying.

The emperor looked at Sheng Jiang with a smug look on his face: "I just gave the order."

"Oh my god! When? Is it fast enough?"

"While we were discussing the story of the new number one scholar and the female ghost, my secret guards usually knew the matter was settled when they heard I wasn't angry. It didn't matter whether we did it sooner or later, so we might as well investigate sooner rather than later."

Sheng Jiang and Duo Duo were stunned. "Is this the legendary story of the emperor not being anxious while the secret guards are? We're not even in a hurry yet, and the secret guards have already finished their work?"

"Aren't you afraid that the secret guards will misunderstand?"

"No. If that were the case, then I would be nothing more than a tyrant, and Heaven would bring about the downfall of my country.

If Heaven does not decree the destruction of my country, it means I will not be a tyrant, and the secret guards will certainly not misunderstand my meaning."

It makes sense.

But he has a really big heart.

But it is also true that not taking everything to heart is the most important thing in spiritual practice.

Sheng Jiang was still thinking about how to avenge Zhang Junsheng himself, but a moment later the secret guard came back and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has been imprisoned for corruption and bribery, his wife has been a loan shark, and his son has abducted a woman. They have all been thrown into prison and are awaiting sentencing.

In addition, the case of Xie Wanying has also been thoroughly investigated. The governor was found to have embezzled and bribed officials. Here is the list, please review it, Your Majesty."

Sheng Jiang and Duo Duo once again marveled at the efficiency of the secret guards.

To be precise, they are the secret guards and the imperial guards.

The secret guards were responsible for gathering intelligence, and the royal guards were in charge of the prisons.

The emperor acted very quickly. He exiled those who should be exiled, confiscated the property of those who should be confiscated, and beheaded those who should be beheaded in public.

"Duoduo, I feel like this is the world, I'm just pretending to be cool, I haven't done anything else, is that all?" Ginger was petting the cat.

"That's not bad. Even the emperor has become your employee. Who else is there?"

The emperor was reluctant to let Jiang go.

Sheng Jiang was about to take back the books on spiritual practice. "Then I won't leave. I won't leave the books with you."

The emperor took her away and said, "I won't send you off. I need to go and cultivate myself quickly. If I can hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening."

Thinking of something, he said to Sheng Jiang: "Hurry up and let Zhang Junsheng come back. Although he is a scholar, he has a lot of good insights. I want to keep him to handle state affairs."

Ginger: It was a mistake after all. I thought he would try to keep me.

Zhang Junsheng: Migrant workers, migrant workers’ spirit, migrant workers are the best. It is indeed so.

I just hope I can meet Miss Xie in the next life.
