Chapter 163 Ghost Fever

Scholar Du Jiuxuan, his wife is ill. On the Double Ninth Festival, his friend invited him to the banquet to drink. The scholar got up early to wash and said goodbye to his wife. He was about to go out when he suddenly saw his wife nagging, as if he was talking to someone.

Du Jiuxuan was very strange. He asked in bed when his wife called him "son". His family knew something different. At that time, Du's mother had just died, and the coffin had not yet been funeral. Du thought to himself, "This must be the mother's ghost manifestation." So he knelt down to say hello and asked, "Are you my mother?"

The wife scolded, "Beast. I'm your father, why don't you know? Du Jiuxuan said, "Since he is my father and not an outsider, why do you be a daughter-in-law?" His wife called Du's nickname and said, "I came here for my daughter-in-law this time. Why do I resent me instead? My daughter-in-law's longevity is over, and she should die. Just now, the four people came to seduce, and the leader was Zhang Huaiyu. I pleaded in every way before they were willing to show mercy. I have promised to give them a gift of filial piety and burn something for them. Du Jiuxuan immediately burned paper money outside the door.

The wife said again, "The four have left. In my face, they expressed their willingness to let their daughter-in-law go. Three days later, I'm going to hold a banquet to reward, but your mother is old-fashioned and can't cook wine and vegetables. On the day of the banquet, please ask your daughter-in-law to help.

Du Jiuxuan said, "How can my daughter-in-law take care of me? Please forgive me." The wife said, "My son doesn't have to be afraid. Go and come back. This is my daughter-in-law's business. You can't be lazy. After a pause, he said, "I'm leaving." After saying that, his wife closed her eyes and didn't wake up until a long time.

Du asked about the right words, and his wife was at a loss and couldn't remember it. He just said, "I just saw four people coming to catch me and go to Yin Si. Fortunately, their father-in-law pleaded for help, and bribed the messenger with two pieces of silver, so they were willing to leave. I saw that there were still two ingots of silver in my father-in-law's pocket. I wanted to steal an ingot to make a living, but he was found by the old man and scolded, "What are you doing! Can you spend this kind of money?' I was shocked and gave up quickly. I didn't dare to act rashly. Du was afraid that she would be confused and unable to speak clearly because of his wife's long illness.

Three days later, the husband and wife were talking and laughing. The wife suddenly stared and said nothing. She just looked at the scholar and couldn't help looking at it. After a long time, she said, "Your daughter-in-law is so greedy. When I saw that I was carrying a silver ingot the day before yesterday, I immediately coveted it. But because of her long-term poverty, she is not to blame. At present, please ask my daughter-in-law to go to hell with me. After cooking the banquet, I will send her back. Don't worry. As soon as she finished speaking, his wife was unconscious. After half a day, he woke up and said to his father-in-law, "The father-in-law invited me to go and told me, 'I have invited the chef. You don't need to operate it yourself, you just need to command. The banquet in the hell is no better than that of the Yang world. When it is loaded, it must be full. Remember, remember. I nodded and remembered that when I came to the kitchen, I saw two women cutting vegetables with knives and cooking. Both of them were dressed in red and embroidered with green edges, calling me sister-in-law. Whenever the food is served, I must ask for review. During the banquet, the previous four messengers were all there. After the wine and dishes were served, my father-in-law called me back.

Du Jiuxuan was shocked when he heard the words and publicized this matter when he met everyone.
