Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 86 Qiao Niang 3

San Niang saw that the two women kept quarreling. One was her mother and the other was her good sister. She didn't want any of them to get hurt. She had to be patient, worked hard to mediate, and finally calmed down the matter.

Although Qiao Niang's words were fierce, she was open-minded and forgot after the quarrel. She still treated Aunt Hua well afterwards. However, after this incident, Aunt Hua took strict precautions against Qiao Niang and no longer let her get close to Fu Lian. A man and a woman could only bury their lovesickness in the bottom of their hearts. Occasionally, they just looked at Mei to quench their thirst.

On this day, Aunt Hua said to Fu Lian, "My daughter and Qiao Niang have bowed down to serve the prince. It is not a way to live here for a long time. The son should return home early and make a marriage contract." Immediately prepare bags and urge Fu Lian to set out to return home.

When the two women heard the message, their faces were sad, and Qiao Niang was even more heartbroken, and tears rolled down. Aunt Hua waved her hand to stop the two women from crying. She forcibly dragged Fu Lian out of the door. Looking back, there was no courtyard, only a barren mound.

Hua Gu sent her to the ferry and said, "When the prince comes home this time, the old man will soon take the Sanniang sisters to visit. If the prince does not forget the old love, he can come to the county Li family waste garden to propose marriage."

Fu Lianman replied and was reluctant to return home. When the old father saw his son's return, he was overjoyed and asked, "Bad boy, where have you been in the past few months?"

Fu Lian briefly talked about his experience and finally begged, "Father, my child has made a marriage with the third sister. Please be sure to complete it."

The old father said, "How can you believe the words of the fox ghost? You can survive by chance, just because you are a natural eunuch, otherwise, the bones will have been gone for a long time.

Fu Lian said, "Although the Sanniang sisters are not human beings, they have a true love for their children. Moreover, the two daughters are smart and beautiful. If they marry into the family, they will not humiliate their father's reputation."

A trace of pain flashed on the old father's face and said softly, "Son, you have been defective since you were a child. Even if you marry, you still let the bride stay a widow. This matter cannot be forced. That's all."

Fu Lian shouted, "Father, you can rest assured that the child has already recovered." Mr. Fu shook his head and didn't believe it. He sighed and turned away.

In order to prove that he did not lie, Fu Lian was indulged with the maid in private, promiscuous, and even announced in the day. ** This matter was soon known by his parents. The old mother came to the maid to ask. When she learned that her son was normal, she cried with joy and discussed with Master Fu in private, "My son has grown up. It's time to find a daughter-in-law for him."

Master Fu muttered, "Well, if you want to find a daughter-in-law, you must be the right one, preferably the daughter of the big family. Go and ask Lian'er to come over. I'll ask him in person.

When the father and son met, Fu Lian said, "The child is not married."

The mother said, "There is no shortage of beauties in the world. Why are you obsessed with ghosts?"

Fu Lian said, "The child's condition is treated by Hua Gu, and a man will repay his kindness. Moreover, I have promised to marry the third sister as my wife. I can't be treacherous."

Master Fu nodded and muttered, "Your words make sense. Well, I promised you." At present, he sent a servant out to look for Hua's aunt and daughter. The servant inquired around and learned that the Li family's waste garden was five miles east of the county. He did not dare to delay, so he immediately rushed there without stopping.

When I came to the manor, I saw a hut in the green bamboo forest. The cooking smoke curled and pushed the door in. A mother and daughter in the room were holding rags and wiping the tables and chairs. The servant explained his intention, looked at San Niang, was shocked, and praised, "Is this my young lady?" It's really pitiful for me to see it. No wonder the prince thinks about it day and night, and his soul haunts. He asked again, "Where is Miss Qiao Niang?"

Hua Gu sighed, "The little girl's life is thin. She passed away three days ago." While sighing, he prepared a banquet to entertain the servants.

After a casual meal, the servant left. After returning home, he reported in detail about the harvest of the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Fu couldn't help but be happy when they heard that the third mother was beautiful. When Fu Lian first heard the news of Qiao Niang's death, he couldn't help crying, but he always doubted in his heart, "How can Qiao Niang die again since she has turned into a ghost?"

On the day of the marriage, Fu Lian asked Hua Gu in person, "Is Qiao Niang really dead?"

Hua Gu said, "Yes, Qiao Niang was reincarnated in the north. At this moment, she has already been reborn." When Fu Lian heard this, he couldn't help sighing. Force yourself to be energetic and marry San Niang. After the two got married, Fu Lian never forgot Qiao Niang. Whenever there was a visitor from Qiongzhou, he would visit Qiao Niang in person and inquire about Qiao Niang's whereabouts. Some of them revealed that there are often female ghosts crying next to Qiao Niang's cemetery.

Fu Lian was surprised and hurriedly discussed this matter with San Niang. San Niang bowed her head silently and meditated for a long time. Suddenly, she sobbed softly and cried, "I'm sorry, sister."

Fu Lian asked, "What's going on?"

Sanniang said, "When I came with my mother, I secretly hid it from my sister and didn't let her know. It must be because of this that my sister cried at night. She must be angry and hateful for me in her heart. My father-in-law, I have always wanted to tell you the truth, but I'm afraid of my mother's scolding. If you are not happy, just beat me out.

Hearing this, Fu Lian sighed and said, "It's not your fault. Let's go to Qiongzhou and pick up Qiao Niang home to reunite.

The couple rode in a sedan chair and took a boat. They rushed to the cemetery on a starry night, dug open the soil, and exposed the coffin. Fu Lian knocked on the lid of the coffin with both hands and shouted, "Qiao Niang! Qiao Niang! I'm coming."

I only heard a shock, the coffin lid opened, and Qiao Niang held the baby in her arms and walked out of the tomb. He looked at Fu Lian infatuatedly, and his eyes were full of resentment. Fu Lian also felt sad, forced a smile and asked, "What a lovely child, who is his father?"

Qiao Niang said with a straight face, "Isn't it the little evil seed you gave birth to? I'm three months old, and I don't know my own flesh and blood?"

Fu Lian sighed, "I misheard Aunt Hua's words. It's my fault that your mother and son are buried deep in the ground."

Qiao Niang said, "Forget it, you and San Niang have come all the way to see me. Your conscience is not bad yet. Forgive you this time." The three of them made up and took a boat back to Guangdong together.

When she came back to visit her parents-in-law, the old lady was very happy to see that her grandson was magnificent and not stained with ghosts. The two women work together, get along well with each other, be filial to the elders, and have a happy family.

After a few years, Master Fu was sick in bed, and his family asked for medical treatment. Qiao Niang shook her head and said, "I'm terminally ill. My soul is out of my body. I don't have to waste my time." Without finishing his words, Master Fu died. Fu Lianqiang endured his grief, finished the funeral for his father, kept filial piety at home, closed the door to thank the guests, and was dedicated to teaching his son about learning.

After seven or eight years, the son grew up, his appearance was similar to his father, and his personality was intelligent. At the age of 14, he was admitted as a scholar and became famous.
