There was a famous novelist and playwright
in China's Ming Dynasty, his name was (Feng Menglong).
He wrote a collection of short stories.
One of the stories is a fictional story he
created with a very famous person from the Ming Dynasty as the protagonist.
This famous person is called Tang Yin. When
he was growing up, all his friends called him (Tang Bohu).
He wanted to get close to a maid called
Qiuxiang in the family of a minister called Hua in the central government, so
he pretended to be unemployed and widowed.
He went to work in the house of the
minister named Hua.
A few months later he married (Qiuxiang) as
he wished.
A few days after they were married,
Qiuxiang discovered his true identity, and he told Qiuxiang.
Let's go back to Suzhou together, okay? I
want to take you home with me.
Qiuxiang replied after listening to Tang
Yin's words.
I think you really love me and I am willing
to go back to Suzhou and live with you.
The next morning, Tang Yin sorted out the accounts
of a shop he was in charge of that belonged to Minister Hua. He also sorted out
the accounts of the gifts given to him by all the people who worked in the Hua
residence when he got married. He also made a list of all the things he used
while working in Huazhai.
He put the three lists on the table in his
room and then wrote a poem in his room.
The next night, Tang Yin and Qiuxiang did
not take anything from Minister Hua's house. They took advantage of everyone to
fall asleep and left quietly.
The next morning after they left, when
Minister Hua heard the news that Tang Yin and Qiuxiang had suddenly left his
house, he immediately rushed to the room where Tang Yin and Qiuxiang were
staying. The Minister surnamed Hua felt very confused.
When he saw the three lists, he knew that
Tang Yin had not taken anything from his house. He saw the poem written by Tang
Yin, and he knew that the poem contained Tang Yin's true purpose for coming to
his house, but he could not decipher the secret hidden in the poem.
He wanted to know the truth, and he knew
that the only way to find the answer was to find Tang Yin and Qiuxiang.
He ordered his servants to post notices in
Wuxi City. He offered large rewards for finding Tang Yin and Qiuxiang. But
after a year, there was no trace or message of them.
A year later, the matter was gradually
forgotten by the minister named Hua.
The literal translation of this idiom is
that there is no trace or message at all.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Have you ever experienced a friend suddenly
leaving for no apparent reason? Are you good at interpreting the true meaning
hidden in what others say?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.

中國的明王朝有一個著名的小說家與劇作家，他的名字叫做(馮夢龍)。
他寫過一本短篇故事集。
其中有一個故事是他以明王朝一個非常著名的名人為主角所創造的一個虛構的故事。
這個名人的名字叫做唐寅。當他成年後他的朋友都稱呼他為(唐伯虎)。
他想要接近中央政府內的一個姓華的大臣家中的一個名字叫做秋香的婢女，所以他偽裝成一個失業的喪偶的男子。
他到了這個姓華的大臣的家中去工作。
幾個月後，他如願地娶了(秋香)。
他們兩個人結婚之後幾天，秋香發現了他的真實身分，他對秋香說。
我們一起回到蘇州市好嗎?我要帶妳回到我的家。
秋香聽完唐寅的話後回答。
我認為你是真的愛我，我願意跟你回到蘇州市一起生活。
隔天上午，唐寅把他負責經營的一間屬於華大臣的店鋪的帳務整理清楚，他又把自己結婚時所有在華宅中工作的人送給他的禮金的帳務也整理清楚，他還把他在華宅工作時所使用的所有物品列出清單。
他把這三份清單放在他的房間的桌上，接著他在自己的房間中寫了一首詩。
隔天晚上，唐寅與秋香兩個人沒有帶走姓華的大臣的家中的任何一件物品，他們兩個人利用大家都睡著之後，他們悄悄的離開。
他們離開後的第二天早上，當這個姓華的大臣聽到唐寅與秋香兩個人突然離開他家的消息之後，他立刻趕到唐寅與秋香所住的房間內，這個姓華的大臣覺得非常疑惑。
他看到這三本清單，他知道唐寅沒有從他的家中拿走任何財物。他看到唐寅寫的詩，他知道這首詩中隱藏著唐寅來到他家的真實目的，但是他又無法解讀這首詩中隱藏的秘密。
他很想弄清楚這件事情的真相，他知道只有找到唐寅與秋香他才可以得到解答。
他便吩咐他家中的僕人去無錫市內張貼公告，他懸賞高額的獎金要找到唐寅與秋香兩個人，但是經過了一年卻始終沒有出現他們倆個人的蹤影與訊息。
一年之後，這件事情也漸漸的被這個姓華的大臣所遺忘。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是完全沒有蹤影與訊息。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你曾經經歷過朋友的不明原因的突然離開嗎?你是否擅長解讀別人說的話中隱藏的真實意思呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
