Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Jinan Qi Anqi is frivolous and loves piaoji.His wife advised him politely, but Qi Anqi didn't listen.His wife, Lin, is beautiful and virtuous.At that time, the Qing soldiers entered, and Lin was taken captive. When they camped at night, a Qing soldier tried to invade. Lin pretended to agree, and when the Qing soldiers were unprepared, he pulled out the bedside saber and killed himself to protect his innocence.

The next day, the Qing soldiers left, and before leaving, they threw Lin's body in the wilderness.Someone told Qi about this, and Qi Anqi was inexplicably sad, and went to the wilderness to search, but saw his wife's breath was weak, and immediately carried her home.Lin's eyes turned, and she moaned softly. Qi Anqi poured soup into the bamboo tube, fed his wife to eat, and prayed: "If my wife can be resurrected, from now on, I will never be responsible."

In the blink of an eye, half a year later, Lin's illness was cured, but the middle nerve in his neck was injured by a sharp knife, his head was tilted to the left, and his beauty was greatly reduced.Qi Anqi is not disgusted by his wife's ugliness, he is gentle and loving, even better than before, keeps his promise, and never asks for flowers again.

Ashamed of herself, Lin planned to take a concubine for Qi, but Qi refused.After living for several years, Lin's infertility caused her to repeat the old story again.Qi Anqi said: "I have already vowed not to find a second woman, and ghosts and gods can testify. If it is destined to have no children, I dare not complain. If you shouldn't have no children, wife, you are still young, can't you bear children by yourself?"

Mrs. Lin remained silent, pretending to be sick, and let Qi sleep alone, secretly assigning a maid, Haitang, to attend the bed.After a few days, Mrs. Lin asked Haitang: "How are you two doing? Are you sharing the same bed?" Haitang shook her head and said, "No." Sleepy head, snoring like thunder.

Mrs. Lin quietly got on the bed and touched Qi with her hand. Qi Anqi woke up in shock and asked, "Who is it?" Mrs. Lin leaned close to his ear and said, "I am Haitang." Qi Anqi said solemnly, "I have already stood up. Make an oath: Be faithful to your wife, please come back, girl."

Lin had no choice but to get out of bed and leave, but still did not give up, and asked Haitang to pretend to be herself and go to serve Qi.Qi Anqi pondered: "My wife is always dignified and would never take the initiative to seduce her husband." Suspicion in his heart, he stretched out his hand to touch Haitang's neck, but there was no scar, knowing that she was a maidservant, he sternly reprimanded her, Haitang blushed and retreated in shame. .

At dawn the next day, Qi Anqi said to his wife: "This servant girl has a wicked heart, and she came here to flatter me in the middle of the night. Hurry up and send her away and let her marry me." Lin smiled and said, "It's rare that a servant girl is willing to sacrifice herself, isn't that good? Why be too stubborn. If Haitang is pregnant with your flesh and blood, the Qi family will have a descendant from now on, wouldn't it be a wish?" Qi Anqi said: "If a man breaks the covenant and keeps his word, how dare he hope to continue the incense?" After hearing the words, Mrs. Lin stopped arguing .

A few days later, Mrs. Lin said to Qi with a smile: "Whenever ordinary people farm, they never dare to delay the farming time. The same is true between husband and wife, but you, a farmer, have not visited the field for a long time. Tonight I'll go find you." Qi Anqi understood, smiled and nodded.

It was night, Mrs. Lin extinguished the candle, and secretly ordered Haitang to sleep in her quilt. After a while, Qi Anqi came to the appointment on time, undressed and went to bed, and said with a smile, "The farmer is here. During these days, farm tools are rarely unsheathed. If it's not sharp enough, please forgive me." Haitang didn't dare to speak, and then the man and woman were happy, Haitang whispered: "The concubine is weak and delicate, I can't bear to be attacked, please be gentle." Qi Anqi nodded in agreement, and his movements really restrained a lot.

Afterwards, Haitang made an excuse to go to the toilet and left in a hurry. Lin secretly counted the time, and after about a cup of tea, she returned to the bed calmly. Beside, I didn't feel suspicious at all.

Since then, the master and servant have frequently changed, and Qi Anqi has been keeping it in the dark, ignorant of it.Not long after, Haitang became pregnant, and Mrs. Lin secretly tested her husband's tone and said, "I have been advising you to love Haitang before, but you always refused to listen. If one day Haitang pretends to be my servant and becomes pregnant with your flesh and blood, what are you going to do?" manage?"

Qi Anqi pondered for a while, and said: "Even if Haitang's plan succeeds, I won't like her. At most, I will keep my son. As for the mother, I will sell it to the government." Lin sighed and said nothing more.

A few months later, Haitang gave birth to a son, and Lin secretly hired a nanny to take the child back to her natal family to raise.Four or five years later, Haitang gave birth to another son and a daughter.The eldest son named Changsheng, who is seven years old, is studying at his grandmother's house, and Mrs. Lin returns to her mother's house every half a month to visit her children.

Haitang was getting older and older, Qi Anqi urged his wife from time to time, asking her to dismiss the maid, but Lin promised.Haitang misses her children every day, and Lin said to her husband, "You often complain that I don't let Haitang marry. My mother has a adopted son and betrothed Haitang to him." So he dressed Haitang and sent her away. < ren.This day is Qi's birthday, and Mrs. Lin prepares a banquet and waits for the guests to come.During the dinner, Qi Anqi sighed and said: "Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is already over half a hundred years old. The good news is that you and I are in good health and have a wealthy family. The only regret is that we have no children under our knees." Lin said: "Mr. I advise you to take a concubine, but you always refuse to listen, who is to blame now? But if you want sons, two are not difficult, let alone one?"

Qi Anqi showed his face and smiled, and said: "Okay, you can send me two sons tomorrow." Lin said: "It's easy." The next morning, Lin drove to her mother's house by car, dressed up the three children, Take them all home.When they came to the hall, Mrs. Lin ordered the children to stand in a row to celebrate Qi's birthday, calling him father.

After the birthday celebration was over, the children stood up and played with each other, Qi Anqi was puzzled, Lin said: "My husband asked me for a second son, and I added a daughter to you by the way." After telling the whole story, Qi Anqi was overjoyed and said with a smile "It's hard for you to keep it from me, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin said: "I told you earlier, but I was afraid that you would drive away the mother of the child. Now that the children have grown up, they will never bully Haitang again."

Qi was grateful and said with a smile, "No, no, never again." At that moment, the husband and wife took Haitang home, and the family lived in harmony and grew old together.
