Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 120 Fox Concubine

Laiwu Liu Dongjiu, is Guanfenzhou. Sitting alone in the house, the smile outside the pavilion was approaching. I entered the room to check and saw four women: about forty, about thirty, one twenty-four five, the last one drooping, twelve or three years old, four women stood side by side a few times, looking at each other and smiling.

Liu Dongjiu knew that there were many fox demons in the government, and he didn't pay attention to it. Younger, the drooping girl took out a red scarf from her arms and threw it on Liu Gong's face. Liu Dongjiu picked it up and threw it into the window, but still ignored it. The four women laughed and left.

One day, an older woman came and said to Liu Gong, "My sister-in-law is predestined to you. Please don't dislike her." Liu Dongjiu is vague and perfunctory. The woman went. Suddenly, the woman led a maid and surrounded the drooping girl. She sat side by side with Liu Gong and said, "A pair of good partners, round candles tonight. Take good care of Liu Lang. I'll go."

Liu Gong looked at the girl and was gorgeous, so he was happy with her. Asked about his whereabouts, the girl said, "I'm stained with fox air. I don't look like a human. In fact, I'm a human. The concubine was the daughter of a former official. She was bewitched by the fox demon and was buried in the garden. The fox girls resurrected me with spells, so they floated like foxes. When Liu Gong heard the words, he explored the girl with his hand. Hips.

The girl noticed and smiled, "Do you think the fox demon has a tail?" He turned around and said, "Touch it slowly. It's your ability to touch it." Since then, the girl can't stay. But wherever you sit, you will be inseparable from the maidservant. Her family respects her very much and serves her with the courtesy of a little lady. Every time a maidservant worships a slave, she is rewarded a lot.

Soon after Liu Gong's birthday, the guests were annoyed and set up more than 30 banquets, and many chefs were needed. Only one or two chefs hired in advance came. Mr. Liu was very angry. The girl knew about this and said, "Don't worry. The chef is not enough, so the future will be dismissed. Although the concubine is only short, it is not difficult to set up 30 banquets. Liu Gong was so happy that he ordered the fish and ginger osmanthus to be moved to the inner courtyard. His family heard the knife cutting the cutting board, and the sound was endless. There was a wooden table in the door, and the servant put the dishes on it. When he turned around, the dishes were full. More than a dozen people shuttled in an endless stream of people, sending wine and vegetables into the hall, coming and going endlessly.

Finally, the food came to ask for soup cakes. The girl said in the room, "The host didn't tell you, where to prepare in a hurry?" Then he said, "Don't worry, I'll borrow it." After a while, the girl called the servant to get the soup cake. She looked at it, more than 30 bowls, and put them on a few, and the heat steamed.

When the guests dispersed, the girl said to Liu Gong, "You can take out gold and silver to compensate for a soup cake." Liu Dongjiu sent a servant to a house. His family really lost the soup cake. He was surprised. The servant had arrived and his doubts began to be solved.

One night, the couple drank at night, and Liu Gong missed the wine in his hometown. The girl said, "It's not difficult. I'll get it for you." So he went out and returned soon. He said, "There is a whole jar outside the door, which is enough to drink for three or four days."

Liu Gong regards it as a fruit wine, which is really the spring of the family. A few days later, the first lady sent two servants to visit. On the way, the servant said, "Mrs. Hu's reward is generous. If you go here, you can buy a leather coat." The girl knew about this matter in advance and said to Liu Gong, "My family is coming. I hate the servant for being rude. I have to punish him a little." Tomorrow, the second servant just entered the city with a headache. When he came to the house, he hugged his head and wailed, and discussed with each other to buy medicine to cure the disease. Liu Dongjiu smiled and said, "There is no need for treatment. When the time comes, you will recover."

Everyone suspected that they had offended the little lady, and the servant thought to himself: When I first came here, the salute has not been solved yet. What's wrong? There was nowhere to complain, but she knelt down and begged for forgiveness. The girl said through the bead curtain, "You can just call me madam. Why do you add a fox character?" The servant understood and couldn't help kowtowing. The girl also said, "If you want to get fur, why are you rude?" After a while, he said, "I'm well." After saying that, the servant was sick and no longer had a headache. He said goodbye and left. The girl suddenly toss a package from the curtain and said, "Take this lamb's mand." The servant untied the package for inspection and got five taels of silver, which was just enough to buy a sheepskin coat.

When Liu Gong asked about the news at home, the servant said, "Nothing else is to hide a jar of wine and fly away." Liu Gong calculated the date of losing the wine, which was the night for the girl to get the wine. Hearing this, the family became more and more respectful to the little lady as a god and called her "Holy Immortal".

Liu Gong painted a portrait of the girl. At that time, Zhang Daoyi was a scholar, and he was a fellow villager with Liu Gong. Hearing that the girl was strange, he came to visit her and pleaded for the girl. The girl refused. Liu publicized the portrait, and Zhang Daoyi forcibly took it away. After going back, he hung it on the wall and prayed day and night: "With the beauty of you, who can't you do with? Why do you need to support Zhang Dongjiu, an old man? What's worse than him? Why don't you want to patronize him? The girl said to Liu Gong in the house, "Mr. Zhang is rude. He should be punished."

One day, Zhang Daoyi was praying again. He seemed to feel that his forehead was hit with a ruler, and the pain was unbearable. With great fear in his heart, he rolled up the portrait, sent a servant to return it, and returned it to the original owner. Liu Gong asked the reason, and the servant concealed the truth and just lied casually. Liu Gong laughed and said, "Does your master's head still hurt?" The servant knew that he could not hide it, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

Nothing, the son-in-law Qisheng came to visit and asked to meet the little wife. The girl refused. Qi Sheng insisted again and again. Liu Gong said, "The son-in-law is not an outsider. Why do you have to refuse?" The girl said, "When my son-in-law sees me, there must be a gift, but he has a big appetite. I don't want to be satisfied. It's better not to meet him."

Mr. Liu said, "If you don't see him, your son-in-law's face must not look good."

The girl sighed, "Okay, ask him to come to see me in ten days."

On the agreed date, he entered the room, bowed through the curtain, and greeted him. Seeing the girl's graceful appearance, I didn't dare to look at it carefully. Immediately retreated, a few steps away, I couldn't help looking back. The girl said, "The son-in-law turned around!" After saying that, he laughed loudly, like an eagle.

Hearing this, his legs were weak and shaky, like a lost soul. It took him a long time to set his mind and said to himself, "I can hear laughter, like listening to a Thunderbolt, but I don't feel that I have it."

In a short time, the maidservant was ordered by the girl to give twenty taels of gold to Qisheng. Qisheng took it and said to the maidservant, "I live with my father-in-law on the Holy Immortal Day. Don't you know that I'm squandering by nature and I'm not used to using small money?" The girl said, "Why don't I know? It's just that the bag is out. Last time I went to Bianliang with my companions, the city was occupied by Hebo, and the gold and silver stored in the treasury were flooded. Although it was a little fished in the water, the son-in-law was insatiable. How can this family be filled? What's more, he is blessed. Even if he can give a generous gift, he can't afford it.

The girl is unpredictable in everything. When she encounters any difficulties, she will discuss with her and solve all of them. One day, the husband and wife sat together, and the girl looked up to the sky and said, "The disaster is coming. What can I do about it!" Duke Liu was shocked to ask if his family were safe. The girl said, "Much of them are safe, but the lives of the two sons are worried. This place will soon be a battlefield. You should look for a job and go away to avoid disaster.

Liu Gong listened to the advice, begged his superiors, and was allowed to transport grain to Yungui. The road was far away. Everyone was worried, and only the girl congratulated. Soon, Jiang Yu rebelled and Fenzhou became a thief's cave. The second son of Duke Liu came from Shandong and happened to be in chaos and unfortunately killed. The city fell, and all the bureaucrats were robbed. Only Liu Gong went out and survived.

The theft calmed down, and Liu Gong returned to Fenzhou. Soon after, he was implicated in a big case and was punished. The family failed, and the poverty was unable to make himself. The person in power took advantage of the fire to rob and blackmail him in all kinds of ways. Liu Gong was worried to death. The girl said, "Don't worry, there are three thousand yuan under the bed. It can be an emergency." Duke Liu was overjoyed and asked, "Where did you steal it?" The girl said, "There are endless things in the world. Do you still need to steal them?" Liu Gong took advantage of this scheme to escape and return to his hometown, and the girl followed all the way.

A few years later, the girl suddenly left, leaving a package and opening it. There was a white haw, two inches long, which was used for funerals, and everyone thought it was ominous.

Soon after, Liu Gong really passed away.
