Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 158 Xin Shi Niang 2

On the auspicious day, Feng Sheng cleaned the house and looked forward to it. Until midnight, there was no sign of the bride. Feng Sheng was desperate. Suddenly, he heard an uproar outside the door and hurriedly put on his shoes and went out of the house to check. The gift car was parked in the courtyard. Two maids helped the bride out and sent her into the wedding room. The makeup is very simple, with only one big tile urn, and there is nothing else.

Feng Sheng was happy to get a good couple. He was not unhappy because the fourteenth mother was an alien. He asked his wife in private: "The county is just a female ghost. How can the wife's whole family be obedient to her?" Shi Niang said, "After Xue Shangshu's death, he was appointed as the patrol envoy of Wudu, and the ghost fox was dispatched by him, but he was busy with official business and rarely went home."

Feng Sheng did not forget the kindness of the county. The next day, the couple went to the old lady's grave to pay tribute. When I returned, I saw two maids holding silk as a congratulatory, put them on the table, and left without saying hello to Feng Sheng. Feng Sheng was puzzled and asked his wife, "What's going on?" The fourteenth mother went into the room to examine the congratulatory gift and said, "This is from the county magistrate."

Mr. Chu, the county seat, has a prominent position, and his father works in the General Affairs Department. Mr. Chu and Feng Sheng are classmates, and they have a good relationship. Hearing that Feng Sheng got married, he immediately went to the hall to congratulate him. A few days later, he invited Feng Sheng to the house for a banquet. When the Siniang heard about this, she said to Feng Sheng, "Last time Mr. Chu came, I secretly observed him. This man's eyes are like ape and his nose is like an eagle. He can't live with him for a long time. It's better to cut off contact." Feng Shengnuo agreed.

The next day, Mr. Chu came to the door to question the crime of breach of contract, and presented a new article, asking Feng Sheng for advice. When Feng Sheng commented, he laughed at him, and Mr. Chu was ashamed and disgraced. Feng Sheng told his wife about this matter. When the fourteenth mother heard the words, she changed her color and said, "Mr. Chu's wolf nature is not a joke. If the father-in-law doesn't listen to the advice, he will be in trouble sooner or later. Feng Sheng smiled and didn't care. After that, he and Mr. Chu made fun of each other, and the previous feelings were relieved.

There will be a hospital examination, Mr. Chu is the first and Feng Sheng is the second. Mr. Chu was complacent and invited Feng Sheng to go to the meeting to have a drink. Feng Sheng refused. Mr. Chu invited him again and again. Feng Sheng had no choice but to go. When I arrived at the house, I saw a gathering of guests. It turned out that today was Mr. Chu's birthday. During the banquet, Mr. Chu took out the test paper for everyone to watch. Everyone praised it. After drinking several times, the drumming music was a masterpiece, and the guests were happy.

Mr. Chu suddenly walked to Feng Sheng and said, "As the saying goes: 'Don't make a paper in the field.' Now I know this big fallacy. In this scientific examination, the reason why the young student is better than Brother Feng is only because of the words that break the topic, which is slightly better. The eight-part article is divided into eight parts: breaking topic, undertaking topic, starting lecture, starting, starting stock, middle stock, back stock, and bundle stock.)

I didn't finish speaking, and I applauded. Feng Sheng was drunk and couldn't stand it anymore. He laughed and said, "Brother Chu is really stubborn. Do you think you rely on strength to win the first place? It's just a relationship." After saying that, the seat is full of color. Mr. Chu was ashamed and angry, and he was angry about it. The guests gradually dispersed, and Feng Sheng also slipped away. After waking up, she regretted it and discussed it with her wife. Shi Niang was unhappy when she heard the words and said, "My father-in-law is frivolous and thin, and I don't know how to repent at all. I don't know that if you treat a gentleman in a frivolous manner, you will lose your virtue; if you deal with a villain, it is easy to kill yourself. The prime minister's disaster is not far away. I can't bear to see you exile. Let's separate.

Feng Sheng cried, "Madam, don't go, I know it's wrong." The fourteenth mother said, "It's not difficult for me to stay. But we must make an appointment with three chapters: From now on, it is better to close the door and stop drinking. Feng Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's all up to you."

Shi Niang is diligent and thrifty, weaving and embroidery every day, and subsidizing the family. Although I often go back to my mother's home to save my relatives, I never spend the night. He also issued gold and silver to make money in business. Every time there is a profit, all of them are invested in Waweng. Close the door and close the window during the day. If there is a guest to petition, he will order the old servant to refuse.

One day, Mr. Chu sent a letter inviting Feng Sheng to get together. The fourteenth mother didn't look at it and directly burned it. The next day, Feng Sheng went out of the city to express his condolences. He met Mr. Chu unexpectedly at the deceased's home. Mr. Chu was invited again, and Feng Sheng refused. Mr. Chu didn't give up and ordered the groom to drag the reins. Feng Sheng couldn't do it, so he had to sit down.

In the house, Mr. Chu set up a banquet and ordered his concubine to play the kite for fun. Feng Sheng has always been wild and unrestrained. He was idle at home and did not touch the wine. He felt quite depressed. At this moment, the wine is in front of you, and you can't stop drinking, expressing it with great pleasure, and leaving the words of the Fourteen Niang behind. After drinking a few pots of wine, Feng Sheng lay drunk.

Ruan Shi, the wife of Mr. Chu, is fierce and jealous. The day before yesterday, a maid accidentally entered the study and fooled around with Chu Sheng. After Ruan Shi knew it, she was jealous and smashed the maid's head with a mess, causing her death. Mr. Chu had long held a grudge against Feng Sheng. He turned his eyes and came up with a poisonous trick: planting and framing.

While Feng Sheng couldn't wake up, the husband and wife carried the maid's body to **, helped Feng Sheng into the bedroom, and then closed the doors and windows. Feng Sheng woke up from the table and looked around for pillows and quilts. In a daze, he felt that there were fetters on his feet. When he touched it with his hand, he was a woman. I thought to myself: Brother Chu is really interesting. He was afraid that I would be lonely, so he specially sent a maid to sleep with him. I kicked the woman with her feet, but she didn't move at all, like a zombie.

Feng Sheng was shocked. He went out to call. The slaves heard the news and lit the lights to check. Suddenly, he saw the dead body on the ground, and everyone was shocked. They all said, "Mr. Feng killed people." Feng Sheng shouted that he was wronged. Soon, Mr. Chu came out to have an autopsy and falsely accused Feng Sheng of being raped and killing people. He commanded his men and escorted him to Guangping Mansion to see the official.

A day later, the news came to the Fourteen Niang's ears. The girl burst into tears and sighed, "I knew there was today's disaster." I go to the county government to visit Feng Sheng every day. Feng Sheng was taken to the public court for interrogation, met the government official, complained unreasonably, was tortured, and his skin was completely removed. The fourteenth mother went to visit, and Feng Sheng was full of grief and indignation, but there was nowhere to argue. The fourteenth mother knew that his father-in-law had been falsely accused, and the trap was very deep, so she advised him to plead guilty for the time being and avoid punishment. Feng Sheng cried and agreed.

Every time the fourteenth lady goes to the prison, although it is within easy reach, no one can notice it. After returning home, he sighed and sent the maidservant, and asked the matchmaker to buy a good girl named Lu'er. She was 15 years old and beautiful. The master and servant ate and slept together, and their feelings were deep.

Feng Sheng was killed according to the crime and was sentenced to be hanged. The old servant went to inquire. When he learned about this, he cried, but Shi Niang faced it calmly and didn't mind. In the blink of an eye, after autumn, there was not much time for Feng Sheng to ask, and Shi Niang began to worry. She walked around, went out early and returned late, and ran back and forth. Every time there is no one, I am sad alone, so that I can't sleep and eat.

One afternoon, the maidservant suddenly came, and the fourteenth mother got up to greet each other. The two talked. The fourteenth mother smiled and changed her previous troubles and took care of the housework as usual. The next day, the old servant went to visit the prison. Feng Sheng said, "Say goodbye to my wife for me and say goodbye from now on." When the Fourteenth Niang heard the words, she was not sad. Looking at it casually, her family secretly said, "The hostess is too ruthless."

Suddenly, passers-by rushed to the news: the father of Mr. Chu's dismissal was investigated, and the imperial envoy was ordered to reiterate Feng Sheng's case. When the old servant heard the news, he couldn't help but be happy. He quickly told his mistress that the fourteenth mother was also happy to hear the words and sent someone to visit the house. Feng Sheng had already been released from prison. Soon after, Mr. Chu was arrested and tried. He confessed one by one, and Feng Sheng was acquitted.

After returning home, the husband and wife met and met again after the disaster. Feng Sheng asked, "I have been wronged. How did the emperor know about this?" Fourteen Niang pointed to the maidservant and said with a smile, "It's all her credit."

At the beginning, the fourteenth mother dismissed the maidservant, but in fact, she was ordered to go to Beijing to complain for Feng Shengming's injustice. The maidservant came to Kyoto, and there were gods guarding the palace. She was a fox demon and was not allowed to enter. Wandering in the ditch, months passed in a blink of an eye. The maidservant was worried about something wrong and was about to return. By chance, she heard that the emperor was going to parade Datong, so she went here in advance and became a prostitute.

Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was lustful and went to the brothel. The maidservant showed all her strength and was deeply favored by the emperor. The emperor was smart and saw at a glance that the maidservant was not like a man in the dust, so when he asked about the origin, the maidservant just cried and did not say anything.

The emperor asked, "What's wrong with the beauty?" The maidservant said, "The cheap concubine was originally from Guangping Prefecture. She was the daughter of a scholar Feng. Her father was unjustly imprisoned and was about to be executed. The little woman's family was unfortunate and had no choice but to go to a foreign country. Please ask the emperor to make the decision for me. When the emperor heard the words, he was very sympathetic and rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. Before leaving, he asked the cause of the matter, recorded his name with pen and paper, and said, "Beauty does not need to worry. If your father is really wronged, I will return your justice. When this matter is over, I will share the wealth with you. The maid said, "I just want the reunion of father and daughter, and I dare not ask for wealth." The emperor nodded and left.

When Feng Sheng heard about what had happened, he knelt down to thank him and burst into tears. Soon after, Shi Niang said to Feng Sheng, "If you are not tired of love, how can you have so many troubles? When the father-in-law was arrested, the concubine ran between her relatives, and no one was willing to help. It's sour and unbearable to mention. Now that I have seen through the world, I have found another good match for my father-in-law. Let's make a difference.

Hearing this, Feng Sheng burst into tears and said, "If my wife has the heart to leave, I can only kneel down." He really fell to his knees and said something to stay. Seeing this, Shi Niang sighed and had to give up. At night, Lu'er was arranged to sleep, but Feng Sheng refused to accept it. When I got up in the morning, I saw that the fourteenth lady's face declined, and after more than a month, she became more and more old. Half a year later, the fourteenth lady's skin was dry, dark and ugly. Feng Sheng's infatuation did not change, and he did not change his mind.

The fourteenth mother said goodbye again and said, "My father-in-law has his own spouse. Why is my old lady by my side?" Feng Sheng didn't listen, just cried. A month later, Shisi Niang suddenly contracted a disease. She did not eat or drink, and was bedridden. Feng Sheng asked for medical treatment, but it did not work. In the end, Shi Niang died of illness, and Feng Sheng was heartbroken. Take care of the funeral for your wife. A few days later, the maidservant also left.

Feng Sheng was lonely and helpless, so he married Lu'er and gave birth to a son a year later. However, the field failed and his life was difficult. The husband and wife have nothing to do and are relatively sad. In desperation, Feng Sheng suddenly remembered: The Wan Weng in the corner of the wall used to see Shi Niang invest money in it. I don't know if it's still there?

When I approached the corner, I saw that the debris piled up on the ground, and the bean basin salt jars were listed. I didn't know where the tile urn was placed. Looking for it one by one, I finally found that when I inserted it with chopsticks, it was hard and difficult to do it. I broke it hard, and the money flowed out. There were countless.

Since then, Feng Sheng's family has been rich. Later, the old servant went to Taihua Mountain and met Shi Niang by chance. She rode a green mule. The maid stepped on a bad horse and followed her left and right. The fourteenth mother asked, "Is your father-in-law safe and sound?" Go back and tell him that I'm listed as an immortal, so you don't have to miss me anymore. After saying that, he disappeared.
