The legendary story of Zhang Guolao riding a donkey across the Yellow Bridge

Zhang Guolao used to be an official in the court and saved a lot of money. Later, he felt that it was not easy to be an official, and he was afraid that he would not succeed and be laughed at, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. Walking and walking, I came to the edge of my hometown camp. I saw a slender girl in the distance picking cotton in the field. He started talking to others:

"Who owns the land and whose flowers are grown? Which family's girl picks cotton?"

The girl heard someone ask and replied: "My mother planted flowers on the land of the Zhang family. Girls from the Zhang family came to pick flowers!"

Zhang Guolao said again: "Why are you picking flowers? Aren't you afraid that the flower shells will prick your hands?"

Zhang Guolao said again: "Why are you picking flowers?"

The girl said: "Pick cotton for spinning. Farmers' hands are not afraid of getting pricked!"

Zhang Guolao saw that this girl was very generous, so the more he said, the more unpleasant he said:

“Young flower girl, silly girl,

You are obedient and don’t know the reason.

Look at your strange appearance and outstanding appearance.

You have a lot of intentions. You come to rescue me.

As long as you are willing to obey me,

I will be rich and wealthy.

The maids and maids are at your disposal.

I will never pick up cotton in my life!"

That girl was not easy to mess with, so she immediately launched a series of firecrackers:

"You are so shameless,

Don’t be afraid of the wind blowing your words.

You can enjoy the glory and wealth.

The little girl of the Zhang family doesn’t care.

My father’s name is Zhang Guolao.

I am also an official and receive a salary.

My mother is the daughter of the Li family.

I have not seen her enjoy any blessings. ”

When Zhang Guolao heard this, he was disqualified. The girl was his biological daughter! For a moment, he wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground, but he was too embarrassed to go home, so he quickly turned around and went to practice in the mountains. Later, he corrected his evil ways and became an immortal. Although Zhang Guolao did not return to his hometown, he always kept the mistakes he made in mind. He felt ashamed to see people, and from then on, he rode the donkey with his back straight.
