Chapter 246 Xiao Qi
Xu Jichang, a native of Mofangzhuang, Linzi County, has not been famous, and he is a small official in the county government. On this day, I went to a relative's house as a guest. When I came back, the road was over the cemetery, and I saw that the attic was gorgeous. An old man sat in front of the door. Xu Jichang drank too much wine during the day and was thirsty. Now he asked the old man for tea.
The old man took him into the hall, served him with fragrant tea, and said, "It's dark. Why don't you stay here for one night and come back tomorrow morning?" Xu Jichang nodded and agreed, and the old man ordered his family to prepare a banquet and entertain the guests. During the meal, the old man said, "There is a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not at the sight of speculation between the old man and the prince?"
Xu Jichang said, "Please say it." The old man said, "The prince's character is admirable. There is a young girl under the old man's knee, who hasn't been married yet. She wants to be a good friend of Qin and Jin with the prince. What do you think? When Xu Jichang heard the words, he was surprised and happy. For a moment, he didn't know how to say it.
The old man smiled and ordered the servants: "Go and tell the young lady to dress up and come out to meet the guests." After a few, a girl came out in style, with light makeup, and her face was gorgeous. When Xu Jichang first saw the girl, he was fascinated and couldn't wait to go to bed with her immediately. He drank a few glasses of wine and said, "I can't drink any more."
The old man understood and said with a smile, "Come on, send Mr. Xu and the young lady back to the room to rest."
The two maids agreed with a smile, pushed and sent the couple into the bridal chamber. After Yunyu, Xu Jichang asked the girl's name, and the girl said, "My surname is Xiao, and I'm the seventh." Xu Jichang nodded and asked about the girl's family background in detail. Xiao Qi said, "Although the little woman's status is despicable, she marries the prince as a concubine, and she won't humiliate you. Why ask?"
Xu Jichang indulged in beauty, was greedy for pleasure, and was no longer wordy when he heard the words. Xiao Qi said, "This is not home. Su Wen's wife is virtuous, and may not be jealous. Please clean the bed for me and make an empty room when you go back, and I'll be there later. Xu Jichang agreed, hugged the girl in his arms and loved her freely.
The next day, Xu Jichang woke up. The girl in his arms had long disappeared. She was surrounded by pines and soft grass cushions under his buttocks. He actually slept in the wild. He couldn't help but be full of suspicion. He was horrify and hurried home. After going back, he told Xiao Qi's words to his wife and asked her to prepare an empty room. His wife obeyed him. Now she cleaned the bedroom, made the bed and folded the quilt, did everything, closed the door and came out with a smile, "Is Miss Xiao really coming?" The words are full of unbelief.
At dusk, his wife went to Xu's residence and said with a smile, "Let's go to the bedroom to have a look. The bride should also arrive." When the two entered the bedroom, they saw ** a beauty with a fairy-like face. It was Xiao Qi. Both husband and wife were stunned. Xiao Qi covered his mouth and smiled and saluted.
Since then, Xiao Qi has lived in the Xu family, handling labor and being diligent. On this day, Xiao Qi said to Xu Jichang, "Sisters told me that they want to visit their home. Please prepare for a moment." Xu Jichang said, "The family is shabby. What kind of hospitality do you take in a hurry?" Xiao Qi said, "Don't worry about this. They will bring their own wine and vegetables, but they just need to trouble the elder sister to cook."
In the morning of the next day, someone brought vegetables, meat, snacks, water and wine, which was full of a load. The wife cooked the fire and quickly cooked a table of banquet. At noon, six or seven girls came to visit. The elderly man was in his forties. A woman sat around and chattered, and the room was full of laughter.
The wife peeked through the window and only saw Xu and Xiao Qi in her eyes. As for the other guests, they didn't see any of them. I thought that the women were not human beings. They had secret skills and could be invisible. Sitting until the middle of the moon, the women just got up to say goodbye, and Xiao Qi went out to see them off. The wife saw that the wine and food on the table were run out, the cup and plate were clean, and there was no leftovers left. She smiled and said, "These women are really starving to death."
Suddenly, Xiao Qi came back to see the guests off. He thanked his wife for her cooking and took the dishes to the kitchen to wash. The wife said to Xu, "When the guests come to the door, there is no way to bring their own wine and dishes. It's really too lazy. It's atonement to invite them again another day.
A few days later, the women visited again. This time, they still ate and drank to their heart's content, but they restrained and left four plates of dishes. Xu Jichang asked the reason, and the women laughed and said, "My sister-in-law disliked that the sisters ate too much. These dishes were specially reserved for her."
During the banquet, a young girl, eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in white and plain clothes, claimed to be Xiao Qiqi and Liujie, who lost her husband and was widowed. Xu saw her charming appearance, talked and laughed, and had a good impression. The host and guests have a drinking order, ask Xu to be the referee, and set a rule: during the drinking order, don't laugh. Sister Xiao Liu kept laughing and frequently fouled. She was fined more than ten glasses of wine in a row. Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were dizzy. She smiled and said, "I'm so dizzy. You go on. I'm going to bed." Say goodbye and leave.
Xu Jichang was thinking about the beauty. He casually found an excuse and hurriedly left the table and looked around for the sixth sister. He saw that she closed her eyes and was resting. Xu Jichang secretly kissed her on the lips, but the sixth sister did not respond. Xu Jichang's heart was itchy. With courage, he stretched out his hand to the sixth sister. I touched it, and when I was about to take advantage of people's danger and indulge in the carnival, I suddenly heard someone calling his name in the hall. Xu Jichang secretly scolded and spoiled the fun. He hurriedly tidyed up his clothes. He saw a silk scarf in the sleeve of the sixth sister, holding the sheep and putting it in his arms.
In the middle of the night, the women left one after another. The sixth sister was asleep and did not wake up. Xiao Qi entered the room to urge. The sixth sister slowly opened her eyes, yawned, tied her skirt, combed her hair, and went out. Xu missed the beauty and couldn't fall asleep. He put his hand into his arms and wanted to take out the silk scarf to play with. Unexpectedly, there was no trace of the silk scarf when he touched it. He thought to himself, "Did you accidentally lose it?" Light up the lantern and look around.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Don't look for it. The silk scarf has already been taken away by the sixth sister." Xu Ji grew up in shock and said with a salivary face, "Good girl, your sixth sister is so beautiful. Is there any way for me to be with her..." Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "You have no relationship with the sixth sister. The sixth sister was a prostitute in her previous life, and the prince was a scholar in her last life. You fell in love with each other, but because your parents stopped you, it was difficult to stay together in the end. Later, the prince was lingering in the sickbed. When he was dying, he hoped to touch the skin of the sixth sister. The sixth sister didn't have time to see you for the last time because of common things. So come to make up for it in your life and make your wish come true. Now that I have touched it, the sixth sister won't see you again.
Xu Jichang didn't believe it. He held several banquets in a row and invited all the girls, hoping to see the sixth sister again. As a result, he was naturally disappointed. Xu Jichang secretly suspected that Xiao Qi was jealous and deliberately blocked it, so he was indifferent to her. On this day, Xiao Qi said, "My father-in-law always blames me because of the sixth sister. What does it have to do with me if she refuses to see you? You and I have been together for eight years, and the fate is coming to an end. Since you want to see the sixth sister, I will help you for the last time. Come with me.
Xu was so happy that the two of them went on the road and came to Xiao Qi Niang's house. The father-in-law and mother-in-law came out to greet him. The father-in-law said, "Thank you very much for taking care of the little girl for a long time. The old man is old and has inconvenient legs and feet, so he rarely has contact with his son-in-law. Isn't it strange? While laughing, there was a banquet.
During the dinner, Xiao Qi asked about his sisters how they were doing. The old man said, "They went back to their husband's house, and only the sixth sister was still there." He immediately ordered the maidservant to "go and invite the sixth girl out to meet the guests." When the sixth sister heard the words, she refused to show up for a long time. Xiao Qi was anxious and went into the house to pull him. The sixth sister was willing to come out. At first glance, Xu nodded slightly and looked indifferent.
Suddenly, the old man and his wife left. Xiao Qi said, "My sister is pretentious and always refuses to meet her husband. Her husband is in a bad mood and often blames me." The sixth sister said coldly, "The thief who steals the silk scarf, who wants to associate with him?" Xiao Qi smiled and said, "You have kissed both of you. Why are you so ruthless?" He changed the glass in front of them, persuaded them to drink a few glasses of wine, and left.
There were only two men and women left in the room. Xu Jichang got up to beg for sex. The sixth sister was not allowed. Xu Jichang played a scoundrel, grabbed the corner of the sixth sister's skirt, knelt down and cried. The sixth sister's heart softened and no longer refused. The two went to bed hand in hand. When they were taking off their clothes, they suddenly heard the shouting outside the sky and the fire shone. The sixth sister was shocked and jumped up and said, "What should I do?" Xu Jichang was confused and didn't know what was going on. The sixth sister stamped her feet repeatedly, and suddenly her figure was ethereal and disappeared.
Xu Jichang was sadly disappointed and stared at it. The house and the platform were nowhere to be found. The place he was in was in the cemetery of his family. When he was wondering, he could only hear the sound of footsteps. More than a dozen famous ornives with eagles and knives swarmed in and asked, "Deep in the middle of the night, who is here?" Xu Jichang said perfunctorily, "I'm lost." The hunters asked, "I just chased the prey and lost a fox. Did you see it?" Xu Jichang said, "I didn't see it." The hunters stopped talking and turned away.
Xu Jichang returned with chagrin and melancholy. He has never seen Xiao Qi since then.
