Chapter 108 Liancheng

Qiao Nian, the character is Da Nian, more than 20 years old, Jinning, less talented, poor family, and courageous. His good friend Gu Shusheng died, his wife was lonely and helpless, and Qiao Nian was always carefree. Qiao Nian's literary talent was outstanding and was deeply appreciated by the county magistrate. The two talked about poetry. Soon after, the county magistrate died in office. The family stayed in Jinning and was unable to return home. Qiao Nian became a seller and escorted the county magistrate's coffin and a family home for more than 2,000 miles back and forth.

There is a Shi Xiaolian in the county, who has a daughter, Liancheng. She is good at embroidery, knowledgeable and reasonable, and is quite spoiled by her father. Lian Cheng once stabbed a "Tired Embroidery Picture". Shi Xiaolian specially took it out to display and solicited poems by talents, with the intention of choosing a son-in-law. Qiao Nian presented a poem, "The high bun is green, and the blue lotus is embroidered on the blue window. The pierced mandarin duck's soul was about to break, and he secretly stopped the needle and thread to frothe two moths. Another poem praised the beauty of Liancheng's embroidery. "The embroidery thread is picked up like a sketch, and the flowers and birds in the frame are made from nature. In those years, brocade weaving was not a long skill, but fortunately, the Huiwen was sacred.

Liancheng was happy with poetry. He praised Qiao Nian repeatedly in front of his father. His heart was secretly, but filial piety thought his family was poor. Liancheng was praised by people, praised Qiao Nian's talent, and privately sent maids to give gold and silver to help Qiao Nian study. Qiao Nian sighed, "Liancheng is really my confidant." Missing a beautiful woman is as hungry and thirsty.

Not long after, Liancheng was promised by his father to Wang Huacheng, the son of a rich businessman. When Qiao Nian heard the news, he was sad and desperate. He was haunted and infatuated. In a few days, Liancheng couldn't afford to get sick. A western region head said that it could cure the disease, but it took a man's chest and meat for a penny to dispense medicine as an introduction. Xiaolian sent someone to discuss this matter with his son-in-law and asked him for help. Wang Huacheng smiled and said, "Dead old man, do you want to cut my heart?" Reveto it and send a messenger back.

Filial piety and helplessness, he came out to the list for medical treatment and made a promise, "If there is a person who can bear pain and cut meat, he is willing to marry his daughter as his wife." Hearing this, Qiao Nian went there, took out a dagger, cut off the meat on his chest, and gave it to the monk in the Western Regions, a blood-stained robe. The monk applied medicine to stop the bleeding for him, used human flesh to make three pills, and took it to Liancheng three times to get rid of the disease.

Filial piety wanted to keep the promise, married his daughter to Qiao Nian, and sent someone to inform Wang about this. Wang Huacheng was furious and was ready to sue. Xiaolian had no choice but to hold a banquet to entertain Qiao Nian, put a daughter in the banquet, and said, "I'm really sorry to fail your great kindness. Please accept this thousand taels of gold as a little compensation." The reason for the back alliance is stated in the mouth.

Qiao Nian was unhappy and said, "The reason why I don't hesitate to cut meat is to repay my confidant. Keep the money for yourself. Am I a meat seller? Go away with your sleeves.

When Lian Cheng heard about this, he couldn't bear it. He sent his maidservant to comfort Qiao Nian and said, "With his talent, he will never be buried for a long time. Why is there no wife in the world? Recently, I often have nightmares that I will die in three years. Why should I fight for the person who is about to die? Qiao Nian said righteously, "It's not lustful to die for a confidant. If Liancheng really knows me, he should understand that men and women love each other, not forever, but only in their hearts. The maid said, "The young lady is sincere to the prince, and the world can be seen." Qiao Nian said, "If it's true, when we meet again, if Liancheng can smile for me, I will die without regret."

A few days later, Qiao Nian went out and met Liancheng returning from his uncle's house. The two stared at each other. Liancheng fell in love and smiled. Qiao Nian was overjoyed and said, "Liancheng is really my confidant."

Soon after, Wang Huacheng came to discuss the wedding date. When Lian Cheng heard the news, the old disease relapsed and died in a few months. Joe went to mourn before the New Year and burst into tears. Xiaolian sent his body home. Qiao Nian knew that he was dead and was not sad. He went out of the village and still expected to see Lian Cheng again. Looking at the north-south road from afar, pedestrians are like ants, and they are also mixed in.

Suddenly, Qiao Nian entered a government house and met his old friend Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng asked in shock, "This is the underworld. Why are you here? Let's go. I'll take you back." Qiao Nian sighed, "I'm not worried." Gu Sheng said, "I'm in charge of the copywriting in hell. I'm quite trusted by my boss. I don't hesitate to do anything where I need to work." Qiao Nian asked, "Where is Liancheng?" Gu Sheng said, "I don't know. Let's look around." The two rotated many places and came to a corridor. They saw Liancheng and a girl in white, with tears in their eyes and crying in the corner.

Liancheng suddenly saw Qiao Nian, sad and happy, and asked, "Son, why are you here?" Qiao Nian said, "How can I be alone when you are dead?" Lian Cheng cried, "I'm such a righteous person. I'm grateful that I don't spit on him. Why should I die for me? I have no chance to accompany my son in this life, and I will marry you in the next life.

Qiao Nian looked back at Gu Sheng and said, "Brother Gu, you are busy with business. Please take care of yourself. I don't want to live when I'm happy, but please check for me: where is Liancheng's reincarnation? I want to be reincarnated with her." Gu Shengnuo agreed and turned around and left.

The girl in white asked about Qiao's history. Liancheng said briefly. When the girl heard the words, she became more and more sad. Liancheng told Qiao Nian, "She has the same surname as me, the little character Bin Niang, the daughter of Changsha Taishou. Take care of each other all the way. Qiao Nian looked at her appearance and was also a beautiful woman.

Just as he was about to say a few words, Gu Sheng had already turned back and said with a smile, "It's done. I'll plead for you two in front of Pluto, and I'll send the little lady back with you. How about that?" The two of them were happy when they heard the words. Fang General said goodbye, and Bin Niang cried, "Sister is gone. What should I do? Please help me, sister. I'll repay you as a slave and repay your kindness.

Lian Cheng was sad when he heard the words, but he couldn't do it. He discussed a plan with Qiao Nian. Qiao Nian turned to begged Gu Sheng, "Brother Gu, please help me again." Gu Shengwei said, "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do." Qiao Nian said, "Do your best. I'm grateful for success or failure." Gu Sheng said, "Okay, I'll try."

After a meal, Gu Sheng went back and waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I've tried anything. I can't help." When Bin Niang heard the words, she turned around and cried. She grabbed Liancheng's arm and was afraid that she would leave her alone.

Gu Sheng saw that her face was miserable and touched her soft heart. He couldn't bear it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Qiao, you take Bin Niang with me. If there are any consequences, I will bear them." Bin Niang was overjoyed and the three of them resigned. Qiao Nian was worried that Bin Niang would return home this time. The road was far away and there was no companion. Bin Niang said, "I'm going to rely on the prince and won't go home." Qiao Nian shook his head and said, "Don't mess around. How can you return the sun if you don't go home? At most, I promise you that when I am free another day, I will go to Hunan to see you with Liancheng. Coincidentally, a ghost went to Changsha to seduce. Qiao Nian asked them to take care of Bin Niang and leave with tears.

On the way back, Liancheng's action was slow. He couldn't walk for a long time and rested once. After resting more than ten times in a row, he returned to the village and said, "This rebirth is unpredictable. In order to be thorough, it's better to ask for the bones for me and go to the prince's house to return the sun, so as not to regret it. Qiao Nian thought so. The two returned to the man's house. Lian Cheng trembled. Qiao Nian helped her to the door. Lian Cheng said, "At this point, my limbs trembled and I had no opinion. If the marriage is not successful, it will be too late to repent. At present, we must plan carefully, otherwise once you come back to life, you will not be free.

The two entered the wing room and sat silently. Lian Cheng suddenly asked, "Does the prince dislike me?" Qiao Nian said with a serious look, "This is absolutely not the case." Lian Cheng smiled and said, "That's good. I'm worried that things will change. Just cook rice. Let's go to the bridal chamber." Qiao Nian was overjoyed, and the two of them were extremely lingering.

After that, the two sides wandered in the house and did not dare to go out. They hid for three days in a row. Lian Cheng said, "There is a saying: 'The ugly woman must finally see her parents-in-law.' It's not a good idea to hide all the time. After thinking about it, it's better to return the sun first. Qiao Nian nodded in favor, and his soul penetrated into the spiritual sleep and suddenly woke up. The family was surprised and took the soup.

Qiao Nian sent someone to inform Shi Xiaolian and said, "Please give me the body of Liancheng. I have a way to bring her back to life." Xiaolian was overjoyed and sent someone to send his daughter's body. As soon as he put it in **, Liancheng woke up and said to his father, "The child has been privately determined for life with Qiao Lang. There is no change. If there is any change, there is only one death." Xiaolian sighed, "You chose the road. It's up to you. I don't care."

When the Wang family heard about this, a lawsuit was sued to the government. The county magistrate took bribes and sentenced Liancheng to Wang Huacheng. Qiao Nian was sad and angry, but there was nothing he could do. Liancheng married to the Wang family. He did not drink or eat, but only asked for death. In the dead of night, he hung a beam. Although he was saved, his body was haggard and dying. Wang Huacheng was so angry and afraid that he had to return his wife to his mother's house. Shi Xiaolian sent his daughter to see Qiao Nian, and a lover finally got married.

After Liancheng recovered from his illness, he often missed Bin Niang and wanted to send letters and greetings, but he had to give up because he had a long way to go. On this day, the couple lived at home, and the servant came in and reported, "There are many carriages outside the door." The couple went out of the house to check, and Bin Niang had arrived at the courtyard. The three of them met again and couldn't help but be happy. Shi Taishou personally sent the girl to the door and said, "The little girl depends on the help of the prince to come back to life. She vowed not to marry an outsider and was dedicated to serving her son, so she had to follow her wishes. Hearing this, Qiao Nian thanked him repeatedly.
