Story ‖ Magic Mirror

At the end of Qing Dynasty, there was a man named Qian Sheng. He has some skills, but he has no family. Sick in bed in his later years, his neighbor Jinsheng took good care of him. Before he died, Qian Sheng gave Jinsheng a mirror as a reward and told him that the mirror was magical and Jinsheng regarded it as a treasure.

The diameter of this mirror is 7 inches. There is a circle of copper lace on the edge of the mirror, and some simple patterns are carved. On the back of the mirror, there is a pattern similar to gossip. Because of the copper edge, Jinsheng called it a bronze mirror.

There are some words engraved on the mirror, which are obviously engraved, but I have never seen them before. Jinsheng looked it up in the dictionary specially, but he couldn't find a word.

If you pat it gently with your hand, it will make a crisp sound and make you feel refreshed.

I don't know the origin of the mirror, except that Jinsheng said it was sent by Qian Sheng, and nothing else is clear.

This mirror shines with the sun and the moon. When the weather is good, the mirror will shine, and when the weather is bad, the mirror will dim. Therefore, Jinsheng regards the mirror as a barometer to predict the weather and provides a lot of help to families who are fishing for fish crops nearby.

That day, Jinsheng's son was playing on the stairs. His left foot stepped on the shoelace of his right foot and was about to roll down the stairs. Scared, the child began to cry. Just then, he saw the golden light of the bronze mirror flash, and the child turned around and sat on the steps of the stairs safely, without movement, and giggled.

From then on, Jinsheng took good care of the bronze mirror, rubbed it several times a day, and often said some intimate words to the bronze mirror. Every time he speaks to the bronze mirror, Jinsheng feels relaxed. When you have troubles, you feel that your troubles are swept away. When you are happy, you feel that your happiness is doubled. Slowly, Jinsheng and Bronze Mirror spend their lives together.

In order to dress up the mirror box, Jinsheng specially made up a China red tassel and put it in the mirror box to make it look more agile and lively. The playful simplicity and the modern elements in the tradition complement each other. Jinsheng couldn't help saying, "Wonderful! Wonderful! " At this time, the bronze mirror was faintly golden, as if it felt the same way.

Time passed unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, Jinsheng had reached his twilight years. During his nap that day, Jinsheng had a strange dream. In the dream, the bronze mirror said to him, I am the queen mother's toilet mirror, knowing the past and the future. Now that you have completed your practice and are about to leave, you can gather some aura on the tassel, which you can pass on to your descendants, so that your descendants can live in this troubled times for three generations.

Say that finish, 1 of "Mao", dazzling golden light at first sight, instantly disappeared in the sky. Jinsheng suddenly opened his eyes and immediately went to the front of the mirror box. When he saw that the mirror was gone, there was only a faint light left. Seeing this, Jinsheng pinned the tassel on his waist and felt refreshed.

In the next 200 years, there was no food and no war, but the Jinsheng family was happy and safe!
