Chapter 402 Mr. Jiaping

A prince in Jiaping, 17 or 18 years old, is handsome. He went to the county to take the college examination and wanted to be a scholar. Occasionally, when I passed by the brothel and saw a beautiful man in the door, fifteen or sixteen years old, I couldn't help staring at her. The woman smiled at him and asked, "Where does the prince live?" The prince told the truth. The woman asked again, "Is there anyone else at home?" The prince said, "No." The woman said, "I'll come to you tonight. Don't tell anyone."

The prince went back and left the servant. At dusk, the woman really came and said, "My name is Wen Ji. I admired the prince's romantic style, so I came to meet him behind my mother's back. If you don't mind, you are willing to follow. The son is overjoyed. Since then, women have come every two or three days.

This night, the woman came in the rain, took off her wet clothes and hung them on the wooden frame. She also took off her leather boots and asked the prince to help remove the mud. She went to bed and covered her body with a quilt to keep warm. The prince checked the leather boots and saw that they were very luxurious. They were covered with mud and the damage was serious. Even if they were wiped clean, they could not be used again. It was a pity.

The woman laughed and said, "As long as you can meet the prince, what is it to break a pair of boots? I'm infatuated with you. How can you repay me? The prince smiled and said, "The girl's kindness can't be rewarded with just a few words, but only by making a promise with your body and doing your best." While talking, he walked to the bedside, gently hugged the woman, and reached out to untie her underwear.

The sound of rain outside the window is pattering, and the woman's poem is flourishing, chanting, "The sad wind and cold rain are all over the river city." Please ask the prince to check the upper and lower sentences. The prince can't refuse. The woman said, "You are talented, why don't you know the elegance! It's really disappointing." He was advised to study hard, and the prince agreed.

The two have frequent exchanges, and everyone knows them. The prince's brother-in-law's surname is Song, and he is also a son of the family. When he heard about this, he wanted to meet Wen Ji and asked him to make an affair on his behalf. The woman didn't allow it. After Song's invisible room, waiting for the woman to come, he lay in the window to peep and turn his heart upside down. He shouted and pushed the door in. The woman saw a stranger at first glance, got up and left, and turned over. The wall came out.

Song couldn't forget her, so he went to the brothel to see the woman by name. The old lady said, "There used to be a Wen Ji here, but she has been dead for a long time." Song was stunned and retreated. When he went back, he mentioned this matter to the prince. The prince knew that the woman was a ghost.

It was night. The woman came as promised. The prince questioned the origin. The woman said, "I really am a ghost. But the prince likes beautiful women, and I also like beautiful men. What's the difference between people and ghosts? The prince thought so. Then after the exam, the prince set out to return home, and the woman followed all the way.

When she came home, the prince placed her in the study, and her family could not see her. The prince linger in the study every day and rarely goes home. His parents are secretly suspicious. Later, the woman went home to save her parents, and the prince told his parents the truth about the matter. When the parents heard that the woman was a ghost, they were very surprised and advised their son to cut off contact with her, but the prince did not listen. His parents couldn't bear to see him drown, so they invited the Taoist priest to catch ghosts, but the method was exhausted and it didn't work at all.

On this day, the prince had something to tell the servant to write a post and put it on the table. There are a lot of mistakes in the post: the word "pepper" is written as the word "shu", the word "ging" is written as the word "jiang", and "hateful" is written as "kelang". The woman shook her head repeatedly and wrote on the post: "What's the matter? The flowers are born in the river. If you have a son-in-law like this, it's better to be a prostitute!" I found the prince and said to him, "I thought you were a talented man from a family, so I surrendered to him. Who thinks you are empty! Judge people by their appearance, humiliate themselves, and make jokes!" After saying that, he disappeared.

The prince was ashamed of her, but he couldn't understand the woman's poems, and he didn't know what it meant. He took the calligraphy to the servant to watch. This matter was spread from person to ten to another. After dinner, it became a joke.
