Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 264 Jiangcheng

Gaobo, Linjiang County, young and intelligent, handsome, was admitted to the county school at the age of 14. He was very popular, and the rich ladies all scrambled to marry him. However, Gaobo's vision is extremely high, and he has never had a favorite partner. His father, Gao Zhonghong, is in his sixties. He has only one son, Gao Yu, and he loves him very much.

At the beginning, there was an old man Fan in the East Village who once lived in Gaofu. The old man Gao had a daughter named Jiangcheng, the same age as Gao Fan. At that time, both of them were only eight or nine years old. They played together every day, and there was no guess. Later, old man Fan moved to other places. After four or five years in a row, he didn't hear the news.

On this day, Gao Pan saw a beautiful girl on the street, accompanied by a little maid, who was only six or seven years old. The girl first saw Gao Jian and secretly opened her eyes and looked at it. She seemed to have something to say. Take a closer look, the girl is none other than Jiangcheng. When the old man met again, they were very happy with each other. They said a few words. Gao Yu said goodbye and left. When he parted, he deliberately dropped a red scarf.

Jiangcheng picked up the red scarf and put it in his arms. In addition, he took out a white silk scarf and told the little maid, "Sir Gao dropped something. You can take it and return it to him." The little maid was young and ignorant, so she did it immediately.

Gao Pan took down the silk scarf and was overjoyed. He went back and said to his mother, "I want to marry Jiangcheng as my wife." The mother said, "Jiangcheng's family is poor, and his family has nothing. Besides, he has been wandering all year round. How can he be worthy of you?" Gaofan's attitude is resolute, "This is my own meaning. Even if I choose the wrong one, I will never regret it."

My mother pondered for a while and said, "Since you have no hesitation, I will explore the news for you first. If Jiangcheng is really beautiful, let's talk about it then." The next day, my mother went to visit Jiangcheng's residence and met Jiangcheng. Seeing her bright eyes and beautiful face, she was overjoyed and immediately gave a lot of bride price gifts to marry Jiangcheng.

After the two got married, they got along well at the beginning. However, Jiangcheng is irritable and often angry, and his words are sharp, which is unbearable. Once, his parents scolded their daughter-in-law's shortcomings in front of Gao Bo. After Jiang Cheng knew it, he scolded loudly. Gao Ban said a few words. Jiang Cheng was furious and was about to expel him from the bedroom and not allowed to sleep.

When the parents heard the news, they were indignant and ordered their son to write a letter of divorce and send Jiangcheng back to his mother's home. When his daughter was dismissed, the old man Fan was ashamed and secretly pleaded with Gao Zhonghong, but Gao Zhonghong did not listen.

After a year like this, once Gaobo went out and passed by his father-in-law's house. His father-in-law invited him to enter the house and entertained him warmly. He also ordered Jiangcheng to come out to meet the guests. The husband and wife met, and they were sad. Gao Yu's old feelings rekindled. He drank a few glasses of wine. Under the arrangement of his father-in-law, he slept in the same bed with Jiangcheng and made up as before.

Old man Fan was overjoyed and immediately went to Gaofu to meet Gao Zhonghong. He asked him to take back his order and allow his daughter-in-law to go home. Gao Zhonghong couldn't stand Fan's chatter and said, "If my son is willing to accept Jiangcheng, I naturally have nothing to say." Old Fan smiled and said, "There is no problem with my son-in-law. He stayed at my house last night and fell in love with Jiangcheng."

Gao Zhonghong was surprised and sighed, "Since my son's old love is not yet, what else can I say? That's it. That's it." Then old man Fan left. Gao Zhonghong summoned his son and said, "I don't object that you want to reunite with Jiangcheng. However, the daughter-in-law has a fierce personality. The old man is old and can't be stimulated. From now on, the father and son have separated, and the eyes are not seen. At that time, he bought a separate courtyard for his son and sent a maidservant to serve him.

After Jiangcheng came back, he was safe for the first month, but as time went by, he began to be cute again. From time to time, he insulted and beat his father-in-law. Gao Pan was bullied, and his cheeks were torn and scratched by Jiangcheng, full of finger marks. On this day, Gao Bo couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to his parents' residence to complain. When Jiangcheng heard the news, he carried a wooden stick and beat Gao Bo in front of his parents-in-law. He hit more than 50 sticks in a row, and then he left. Seeing his son suffering, Gao Zhonghong felt sorry for him and hated him. He said, "You chose the way by yourself. You deserve to suffer. Don't come to me in the future."

The mother was soft-hearted and couldn't see her son suffer. She secretly bought him a house and said, "I live here first. My wife can't go back for the time being." While comforting his son, he sent someone to invite old man Fan and ordered him to discipline his daughter well.

Old Fan went to his daughter's residence and persuaded him painstakingly. Jiangcheng did not listen. He sneered and sarcastically between his words, and did not give his father face at all. Old Fan was angry and disappointed. He returned with hatred and secretly said to his wife, "My daughter is so unfilial. Don't deal with her in the future."

Not long after, Old Fan and his wife died one after another. Jiang Cheng was still angry and refused to attend the funeral. I go to my parents-in-law's house every day and scold them through the wall.

On the other hand, Gao Pan lived alone and was lonely, so he begged the matchmaker Mrs. Li and said, "Mom, you often walk around outside. I don't know if there are any talented and beautiful girls in the brothel. Can you introduce some to me?" The matchmaker agreed.

Since then, Gao Ben has often dealt with prostitutes, and this matter soon came to Jiangcheng's ears. Jiangcheng was furious and went to Gaobo Study in person and scolded loudly. Gao hunch tried his best to argue, pointed to the oath of heaven, and repeatedly complained about injustice. Jiangcheng did not find evidence for a while. At present, he turned back indignation, but secretly waited for the battle and searched for Gao's handle carefully.

On this day, the matchmaker just came back from the study and happened to meet Jiang Cheng. When the two met, the matchmaker was guilty and her face turned pale. Jiang Cheng became more and more suspicious and said angrily, "Old man, I can see your secret things at a glance. It's better to be honest. If not, pull out your eyebrows. The matchmaker trembled and said, "In the past half month, Mr. Gao has little contact with women. Only Li Yunniang has been in the brothel twice. Mr. Shicai told me that he had met Tao's daughter-in-law on Yuqi Mountain, and said that Miss Tao's feet were very beautiful. I didn't know if she could arrange it for him.

Jiang Cheng said coldly, "It's good that you are willing to tell the truth. Listen, I want you to help me do something. At dusk today, you went to the study, put out the lights, and then told a little lie and said, 'The Tao girl has arrived'. You don't have to take care of the next thing. Leave it to me. The matchmaker agreed. When it was dark, she went to the study to deceive Gao Tan according to Jiangcheng's instructions and said, "Your son, I have brought you the person you are looking for."

Gao Pan was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Yes, please invite Miss Tao to come in." Jiang Cheng winced at the matchmaker and ordered her to leave. Then he walked into the house without saying a word. Gao bun was still in the dark, grabbed Jiangcheng's arm, asked her to sit down by the bed, and said, "Miss Tao, since the last time I glanced at Yuqi Mountain, I have been dreaming about you." As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and gently stroked Jiangcheng's ankle. Jiangcheng suppressed his anger and said silently. Gao Bo said, "After many days, my long-cherished wish has finally come true. It's just that it's a pity that the room is dark and I can't see the girl's face. He got up and lit the lights. He looked carefully under the candlelight. At first glance, Jiangcheng himself was scared. His hands trembled, and the candle fell to the ground.

Jiang Cheng reached out and grabbed Gao Ben's ear, dragged him home, took out a silver needle, and stabbed Gao Ben's legs. Blood surged, Gao Pan was in pain, and killing pigs seemed to be wailing.

Since then, Gao Fan has been afraid of his wife like a tiger. He has been worried all day long and is heartless. Even if the pillows are happy, they are still perfunctory and unssuming. Jiangcheng hated that the iron could not become steel. He slapped Gao in the face several times and punished him to sleep alone.

There are two sisters in Jiangcheng, both of whom are married to Xiucai. The eldest sister is kind and unsociable, so Jiangcheng doesn't like her very much. The second sister married Ge Shusheng as his wife. She is cunning and eloquent. Although her appearance is not as good as Jiangcheng, her style is fierce and fierce.

On this day, Gao Pan went to Gefu as a guest. The two of them were drunk. Ge Shusheng took advantage of the wine and said, "I heard that Brother Gao is afraid. Why is this?" Gao Tan smiled and said, "Many things in the world are difficult to explain. For example, if I am afraid of the inside, it is because my wife is beautiful, so I tolerate it everywhere; but some benevolent brothers, whose wives are obviously plain-looking, but they are also like me. They are afraid of their wives like tigers. How can I explain this?

When Dong Shusheng heard this, he was ashamed. His maidservant waited beside him and secretly told Dong's wife about it. Dong's wife was furious and immediately raised the wooden stick and came to Gao Pan to settle accounts. When the man and woman met, Dong's wife was rude. She hit Gaobo's head with one stick, and the blood flowed like a note. Then a stick hit Gaobo's waist and ribs. Gaobo grinned in pain, limped and fled in confusion.

After going back and mentioning this matter to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng was furious. "My father-in-law, no matter how bad it is, there is no need for outsiders to discipline him." Without saying a word, he took a pole and went to the second sister's house to find the scene. Dong's wife came out to greet him with a smile. Jiang Cheng was full of anger. He picked up the shoulder pole and shot it down fiercely. He only heard a scream. Dong's wife was hit on the cheek and fell to the ground. Four or five teeth were shot down, his legs were sprained, and the urine flowed.

Dong's wife was humiliated and her hatred was hard to dispel, so she encouraged her husband to take revenge. Dong Shusheng went to Gaofu according to his words and said to Gao Pan, "My wife has always been arrogant. It's rare for Jiangcheng to teach me a lesson. Thank you very much. Don't worry, I won't bother you."

Before he finished speaking, Jiangcheng rushed out angrily and scolded, "Dirty thief! His wife was bullied and indifferent. Such a man is better to kill with a stick!" When he mentioned the broom and wanted to fight, Dong Shusheng was so afraid that he did not dare to linger. He ran wildly and disappeared in an instant.

Gao Pan has a classmate named Wang Ziya, who opened a hotel and planted a lot of plum blossoms in the store. On this day, Wang Ziya came to Gaofu to visit friends and chat with Gao Fan. His words involved the wind and the moon, and his tone was obscent and unbearable. Jiangcheng happened to pass by the door and was unhappy when he heard the words. He secretly put the bean into the soup. Wang Ziya drank the soup and went to the toilet seven or eight times. He was weak and his breath was dying. Jiangcheng sneered and said, "Do you dare to be rude?"

Wang Zi Yalian shook his head and couldn't help begging for mercy. Jiang Cheng smiled, took out the antidote, mixed it with mung bean soup, and said, "The girl's heart is soft. This time she won't investigate it. If she commits again, it won't be as simple as diarrhea." When she met such a female evil star, Wang Ziya could only admit that she was unlucky. With a sigh, she drank the mung bean soup in three or two mouths, and the toxicity was immediately relieved.

This night, Wang Ziya held a banquet in her restaurant and invited Gao Pan. The host and guests drank to their heart's content. During the dinner, Wang Ziya said, "There is a famous prostitute in Nanchang in my house. I wonder if Brother Gao is interested?" Gao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "No, if you have a tough wife in your next family, how dare you pick flowers and make trouble?" Wang Ziya said, "The girl in Jiangcheng is not here. Why should Brother Gao be afraid? Unless... you're not a man."

Gao Pan said angrily, "Well, you don't have to provoke me. Isn't it just a prostitute? It's not like I've seen it before. You asked her to come out. Who the hell is Jiali? I'm going to meet her. Wang Ziya patted her hands with each other, and only heard Huanpei Dingdong. A 17- or 18-year-old woman came out with a neat face and unparalleled appearance. At the sight of Gao Ben, his heart wavered and asked, "What's your name, beautiful girl?"

The woman smiled and said, "My surname is Xie, and my name is Fanglan." The words are charming and exhale like orchids. Gao Tan was overjoyed and shouted, "The surname is good, and the name is better." Miss Xie, come and sit next to me." Xie Fanglan agreed, and Yingying came to the table and sat down next to Gao Fan. The two fell in love with each other and fell in love with each other.

Xie Fanglan gently grasped Gao Fan's palm, stretched out her index finger, rubbed it in his palm, stroked stroke, and wrote the word "su". Gao Pan understood and intended to linger with the beautiful woman. He was worried about the incident in the east window, and the rouge tiger at home was powerful. For a moment, I was confused. I couldn't bear to go, and I didn't dare to stay.

At that time, the night was already dark, and the guests in the restaurant dispersed one after another, leaving only a young man who did not leave. The young man was elegant, followed by a book boy. The two drank candles together and drank three pots of wine in a row. The young man took out an ingot of official silver, threw it on the table, and left. The book boy also followed closely.

After a long time, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. The book boy went back and came to Gao Fan and said, "This husband, my master has a request." Gao Yu smiled and said, "Who is your owner? I don't know him. Why should I listen to him? As he spoke, his eyes rose and fell between the eyebrows of the book boy. Just like this, Gao Tan's face changed greatly and he shouted, "Xiaohuan, is it you?" It turned out that this book boy was none other than Jiangcheng's maid Xiaohuan.

At this moment, Gao Pan returned home honestly. When the husband and wife met, Jiangcheng masked with frost, picked up the whip, aimed at Gao Pan's key point, and twitched hard. Since then, Gaobo's freedom has been restricted, and he is under the control of his wife every day.

On this day, Gao Pan chatted with Xiaohuan in private and talked happily. Jiang Cheng was furious and secretly suspected that his father-in-law had an affair with the maidservant, and he was too lazy to be polite. He directly covered the maidservant's head with a wine jar and beat her. After that, he tied Gao Bin's hands and feet with a rope, took out the scissors, cut off a piece of human skin the size of a palm on Gao Bin's lower abdomen, and then cut off the human skin on the lower abdomen of the maidservant's lower abdomen, and adjusted each other. The maidservant's skin was attached to Gao Bin's wound, and Gao Bin's skin was attached to the maidservant's body, which was still sewn with needle and thread. After more than a month, the two people's wounds healed, and the human skin matched the muscles, which was flawless and did not even leave a scar.

In the future, Jiangcheng's attitude towards his father-in-law became more and more bad. He often threw the big cake into the dust, stepped on it with his feet, and then ordered Gao Pan to swallow it. There are so many pranks.

Once my mother came to visit Gao Pan and saw that he was skinny. When she went back, she was heartbroken. That night, my mother saw an old man in her sleep and said to herself, "The old lady doesn't need to worry. This is the karma of the previous life. Jiangcheng was originally a white mouse raised by the monk Jingye in his last life. Linglang was a scholar and doctor in his previous life. He accidentally went to the temple and accidentally trampled the white mouse to death, so he had today's report. From today on, the old lady has read the Guanyin Mantra a hundred times every morning, and someone will relieve her.

After the mother wakes up, she recites the scriptures devoutly every day according to the instructions of the dream. More than a month after that, there was an old monk outside the door on this day, preaching the Dharma and the audience gathered. Jiangcheng also ran to see the bustle, but the crowd was like a wall, which was difficult to get close to. In a hurry, they moved a chair and stood on the chair to watch. Everyone reported cold eyes. Seeing that Jiangcheng was so careless, as a woman, she showed her face in broad daylight and moved the chair on the stool. It was really unconformity. When they thought of this, they shook their heads one after another. .

Jiangcheng didn't realize it. He watched the old monk's words. He looked disdainful. He poohed and said to himself, "The old monk pretended to be a ghost and grumbled. I really don't know what to do." The old monk's ears were clear. He smiled slightly when he heard the words. He took out a bowl and filled it with a bowl of clear water. He walked slowly to Jiangcheng and suddenly roared and shouted, "Don't be angry, don't be angry!" The previous life is not fake, and this life is not true. What! The mouse shrinks its head and don't let the cat look for it. After saying that, he took a sip of water, and his luck spewed out. It was all sprinkled on Jiangcheng, and his clothes were all wet.

Everyone was terrmented and thought, "The old monk is tired of living and dares to provoke the female demon. Now I'm afraid he will die miserably." However, Jiangcheng looked confused and didn't say a word. He reached out to wipe the beads of water. He turned around and turned back to the house.

Jiangcheng returned home and didn't eat all day. He cleaned the bed alone and went to bed. In the middle of the night, Jiangcheng suddenly got up and sat down, calling Gao Yu's name and saying, "For so many years, my father-in-law has suffered." As he spoke, he took off Gaobo's coat and underwear, revealing his scarred chest.

Jiangcheng's eyes were full of tears. He slowly stretched out his right hand, gently stroked Gao Ben's chest, and choked, "There are a total of 121 scars. At present, I will return it to you." While talking, he took out a dagger, waved his wrist, and sneered. The dagger cut the skin, cut out a wound several inches long, and the blood flowed.

Gao Pan was shocked. He grabbed the dagger, threw it out of the window, and said angrily, "What are you doing? Jiangcheng, listen carefully. If you dare to self-harm again, I will divorce you immediately. After a pause, he reached out and hugged Jiang Cheng in his arms. He said softly, "The past is written off, and no one is allowed to hold grudges anymore. You are the wife I am marrying. No matter what others say about you, in my heart, you will always be my wife.

Since then, Jiangcheng has changed his past, is filial to his parents-in-law, considerate, gentle and virtuous, and the family is harmonious, and there is no longer estrangement. Jiangcheng is good at financial management. In just a few years, he has accumulated a lot of money at home. Later, Gao Fan won the fame, and under the mediation of Jiangcheng, he married Xie Fanglan as his concubine. He went to the examination room and went to the bridal chamber. He was very proud.
