Ghost Story of Liaozhai

The grandson Chu of western Guangdong, a young celebrity, has six fingers and a dull personality. Others believe lies.Whenever there is a banquet with friends, if there is a singer at the table, Sun Tzu Chu will run away in a panic. Beads trickle down.Because of his stupid behavior, the scholars secretly nicknamed him "Sun Chi".

A certain rich man in the county seat, who is richer than a prince, has a daughter, Po, who is beautiful. The rich man chooses a son-in-law for his daughter. There are an endless stream of applicants, but none of them are very satisfied.Coincidentally, Sun Zichu's wife passed away, someone advised him to come to propose marriage, Sun Zichu didn't think much about it, and he did as expected.

The rich man has always heard of his name, but because of the poverty of his grandson Chu's family, he hesitated for a while.Weng's wife was out, met A Bao, and asked, "Son Tzu Chu came to propose marriage, what are you going to do?"

A Bao joked: "If Mr. Sun can cut off the extra finger, I will marry him."

Weng's wife told her daughter's words to Sun Tzu Chu, and Sun Tzu Chu smiled and said, "It's not difficult." After Weng's wife left, Sun Tzu Chu picked up an ax and cut off his finger.After a few days, he was able to get up and walk. He visited the rich man's house and showed his severed finger to his future mother-in-law. , I will definitely promise it with my body."

Grandson Chu was furious when he heard the words, and thought, "I'm not stupid." But it's hard to prove this, and thought, "Maybe A Bao is not as beautiful as a fairy, why should he be willing to be at the mercy of her for the sake of women?" Dejected, he left on his own.

Soon after the Ching Ming Festival, according to the custom, women will go out for an outing on this day. After hearing the news, the frivolous teenagers paired up and accompanied them, taking the opportunity to flirt with wanton.A friend invited Sun Zichu to join in the fun, but Sun Zichu shook his head, unmoved.The friend laughed and said: "A Bao will come too, don't you want to see the beauty?" Sun Tzu thought to himself, "A Bao teased me in every possible way back then, hum, I'd like to meet her for a while." Thinking of this, he immediately decided out and about.

When I came to the outskirts, I saw a woman resting under a tree from a distance, and all the young people formed a human wall inside and out, and my friend said, "This woman must be Po." He stepped forward to look, and it was really her.

Grandson Chu stared at him, and saw that A Bao was beautiful and unparalleled. After a while, more and more rascal boys gathered, the woman stood up and left gracefully.Everyone was fascinated and commented like crazy, only Sun Zichu remained silent.

The crowd didn't care, they dispersed slowly, and looked back at Sun Zichu, only to see that he was standing there in a daze, and didn't respond to his shouts.The friend was in a hurry, pulled the hem of his clothes, and said with a smile, "Has the soul been hooked by Ah Bao?" Sun Zichu remained silent.

The friend shook his head secretly, thinking that "Brother grandson has committed a dull illness again." No wonder, he took him by the arm and sent him home, and put him on the bed. How to call, is not awakened.His family suspected that he had lost his soul, so they invited a witch to summon his soul, but he didn't feel any improvement.The witch patted him on the head and asked, "When will the soul not return?" Sun Zichu replied in a daze, "I'm at Abao's house." The witch waited to ask again, but Sun Zichu closed his eyes and remained silent .Seeing this, the family members were all puzzled.

At the beginning, when grandson Chu saw A Bao leave, he felt sad, and suddenly felt that his soul floated up, landed in A Bao's skirt, followed the girl in a parade, and finally came to the boudoir.Po sits, he sits, Po sleeps, he sleeps.At night, I had fun with Abao, happy and content, but I was hungry, and couldn't help but miss my former residence, want to go home and have a look, thinking about it, but I didn't know the way.

Abao dreamed of having sex with a strange man every night, asked his name, and replied, "I am Sun Zichu." He was surprised, and dared not tell others such a shameful thing.

Grandson Chu slept at home for three days, his breath dying, and his family panicked, so he entrusted someone to tell the rich man that he wanted to go to his house to summon his soul.The rich man smiled and said, "If we don't see each other on weekdays, how could grandson Chu be at my house?"

The witch took the old clothes worn by her grandson Chu, slept on the old mat, and came to summon the soul. When Ah Bao heard the news, he was shocked, and hurriedly dragged the witch into the boudoir, asking her to cast a spell.

After working for a while, the witch bid farewell and left, and returned to Sun's house. As soon as he reached the gate, Sun Zichu was already moaning on the bed, and soon woke up.He muttered words in his mouth, describing the furnishings in Abao's room, no matter the tables, chairs, beds, mirrors, dowry, no matter the color and name, they were all vivid and vivid, without any mistakes.

Knowing this, Ah Bao was even more frightened, but on second thought, Sun Tzuchu was devoted to him, deeply emotional, but also moved.

After his grandson Chu recovered, he was restless and in a trance every day. He often sent people to inquire about Abao's news, hoping to see the beautiful woman again.Soon after the Buddha Bathing Festival came, Sun Zichu heard that Abao would go to Shuiyue Temple to offer incense. He couldn't help but ran to the temple and waited early in the morning. His eyes were dry and his throat was smoky until noon. Ah Bao came late, poked his head out from the curtain of the carriage, looked at Sun Tzu Chu with affection, Sun Tzu Chu was fascinated, followed behind the carriage obsessively, never leaving.

Abao ordered the servant girl to ask his name, and grandson Chu told the truth, his soul was shaken, and he reluctantly returned home until the carriage returned.Once at home, grandson Chu fell ill again, neither drinking nor eating, and kept calling Abao’s name in his dream. It happened that a parrot in the house died, and grandson Chu thought, “If I can attach myself to the parrot and fly to Abao’s boudoir, that would be nice."

Thinking about it, the soul floated in the air, merged with the parrot, and turned into a flying bird.Grandson Chu was overjoyed, and without thinking, he flapped his wings and flew to Abao's bedroom.

A parrot suddenly appeared in the room, Ah Bao was full of interest, he caught the bird with a smile and tied it with a rope, the parrot called: "Sister, don't tie me up, I am Sun Zichu."

Terrified, Ah Bao untied the rope, and the parrot wandered around, refusing to leave for a long time.A Bao sighed: "Young Master's love is deep, and this concubine will always remember it in my heart, but you and I are different, how can we get married?"

The parrot said: "It's enough to be able to stay with my sister."

Others brought food and drink, but the parrot would not eat or drink. Only Po, who raised it himself, was willing to speak.A Bao sits, the parrot sits on her lap; A Bao sleeps, the parrot rests with her.Three days later, Ah Bao fell in love with the parrot more and more, and sent someone to his grandson Chu's home to inquire about the news, and when he came back, he reported: Grandson was lying on the bed, dead for three days, but there was still a little warmth in his chest.

Ah Bao prayed sincerely: "If the young master can turn back into a human being, I will definitely follow him to the death."

The parrot said: "Didn't you lie to me?"

Abao said seriously: "Never." His tone was firm.

The parrot looked sideways thoughtfully. After a while, Ah Bao bent down and took off the embroidered shoes. The parrot suddenly swooped over, grabbed the shoes in one bite, and went through the window, disappearing into the clouds in a blink of an eye.

Abao sent his maid to visit, and happened to see the parrot enter the house, with embroidered shoes in its mouth, and fell to the ground to die.Er'er's grandson Chu woke up, and shouted, "Shoes, where are the embroidered shoes?"

The family picked up the embroidered shoes for him, and grandson Chu stroked them in his hand, his expression fascinated, and the maid came into the room and asked, "My lord, where did these embroidered shoes come from?"

The grandson said clearly: "It was Abao who gave me the token, you tell her for me, the lady promises a thousand pieces of gold, and you are not allowed to go back on what you have said."

The maid said goodbye and left, telling what she had seen and heard one by one. Ah Bao also felt strange, and went to his mother to discuss countermeasures. Weng's wife murmured: "The grandson Chu's name is not bad, but his family is poor. If he is recruited as a son-in-law, I'm afraid Shame on the rich."

A Bao said: "I have made a covenant with Mr. Sun, and this love will never change."

Weng's wife said: "Since my son is infatuated, I have to fulfill you. But there is one condition, if grandson Chu wants to marry you, he must marry you."

A Bao said: "No way. Although Mr. Sun is poor, he is a man of integrity. What will others think when his mother lets him into the family? How can he bear the contempt, contempt, and criticism? My daughter just wants to be with Mr. Sun, Simple tea and light food, as for other things, I dare not expect extravagantly."

Weng's wife sighed: "Girls are extroverted, you choose the path yourself, bear the consequences yourself, and don't regret it in the future." Saying this sentence, it is an invisible compromise with Abao.

Not long after, his grandson Chu came to propose marriage. The talented man and the beautiful woman finally get married, and the reunion seems like a lifetime away.

There are many dowry gifts for Abao, and there is no shortage of gold and silver. The two have a worry-free life after marriage.Abao is careful and good at managing money. He doesn't need his grandson Chu to ask about housework. He just buries his head in the pile of books and studies hard day and night.

Three years later, his grandson Chu suddenly contracted a sudden illness and died of illness.Abao wanted to die in grief, and hanged himself in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the servant girl found out in time and rescued her.But Ah Bao has made up his mind to die. He doesn't eat or drink every day, and his face is haggard.This day, Ah Bao was burying his grandson Chu. He suddenly heard groans and vibrations from the coffin. He hurriedly opened the coffin lid to check, and saw that his grandson Chu had a lifelike appearance, and he came back from the dead. Said that my life was honest and simple, and wanted to promote me to be Cao. At this time, someone said, "The wife of Sun Bucao is coming soon." Pluto inspected the book of life and death, and said, "This girl's life should not be terminated. What's going on?" Someone replied: " I have been on a hunger strike for three days, and my life is not long.' Pluto nodded, and said to me, 'Your Madam is deeply affectionate, and I bestow on you the return of Yang, and the reunion of husband and wife.' Just like that, I came back to life."

After grandson Chu Huanyang, his body gradually recovered.Not long after the township examination began, before the examination began, many teenagers played around and drew up seven partial questions. They said to Sun Tzuchu: "This is the examination question for this subject. It took me a long time to get it. If you go back and memorize it by heart, you will surely become famous in one fell swoop."

Sun Tzuchu was so convinced that he pondered over the test questions day and night, carefully preparing seven essays, and when the exam started, the chief examiner went against the rules to prevent cheating, and the test questions were biased and tricky. What's more, the test questions When it came out, Jing Er and Sun Tzu Chu coincided.

After the examination, Sun Zichu won the championship in one fell swoop. He took part in the general examination the next year, and was awarded a Jinshi, and he was officially appointed as a Hanlin Bachelor.The emperor heard his story and summoned him to inquire. His grandson Chu played it truthfully. The emperor was overjoyed and ordered to summon A Bao and reward the couple with a lot of property.
