Folk story: reincarnation

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a rich man named Xu who visited relatives and friends in the county.

Relatives and friends took him to drink Huasan and asked several beautiful women to accompany him. Beauty with wine makes people feel comfortable, but Xu feels a little drunk.

At that moment, I suddenly heard a woman crying from upstairs, accompanied by the bawling of the procuress.

Xu asked why? Next to the woman whispered:

"This is the new woman, surnamed Dong, called Gu Qiushui. I heard that she is the daughter of an official. Because I refuse to show my face, I am often scolded by my mother. "

Xu Wenzhi nodded and didn't take it seriously. He continued to drink.

After a while, there was a woman's crying upstairs, as well as the sound of swearing and whipping clothes, which was particularly clear.

Xu couldn't sit still, stood up and rushed upstairs. I saw a strong man beating a woman with a whip, and the woman sat on the ground and cried sadly.

Xu Wenzhi grabbed the whip and shouted, "Bullying a weak woman is nothing!"

The procuress hurried forward, smiled apologetically and said, "Calm down, my daughter is disobedient. I'm trying to train her and spoil the fun of drinking. I am really sorry. "

Xu said discontentedly, "Cut the crap, where did you train? Obviously pushing her to the road to death. "

The procuress said unhappily, "I spent a lot of money on it." It costs a lot of money to eat, live and wear my clothes. If I don't do anything, I won't buy products that lose money! " Sir, I think you are a man of passion, so you might as well help her to be redeemed and save me trouble. I've had enough. "

Xu looked at this woman, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a handsome face and wet tears on her face, which made people particularly fond of it and even reluctant to part with it.

Xu said angrily, "I think she is a good family, and you will destroy her sooner or later." I will redeem her. You can make an offer. "

The procuress asked for three thousand two hundred pieces of silver, and Wenzhi agreed. She went downstairs to find relatives and friends, explained the reasons, and borrowed 3,200 pieces of silver from him.

Relatives and friends quickly ordered the servants to go home and carry three thousand two hundred pieces of silver.

The procuress was overjoyed, delivered the documents, ordered the servants to warm the sedan chair with a small chair, carried the woman and sent it to the homes of relatives and friends.

That night, relatives and friends vacated a room, posted red happy characters and let them enter the bridal chamber.

When Xu asked about the woman's life experience, the woman wiped a handful of sad tears and spoke slowly.

Her name is Dong Qiushui, her father is a prefect, and she is an only child. My father is an honest official and doesn't flatter powerful people, so he offended his boss and was hated by him.

Last year, there was a drought in the local area, and the court allocated money and food to help the poor. There is an official under him who secretly puts food in a small bucket when distributing disaster food.

Later, it was discovered that his father was involved, and he was dismissed from office and sentenced to death, and his property was confiscated.

Mother was also thrown into prison and sold by the government with a straw label. Because she received a good upbringing, she didn't want to fall.

Tonight, the pimp asked her out to sing for the guests, but she refused, so she was beaten and scolded.

After hearing her tragic experience, Xu said excitedly, "I will be kind to you and let you live a stable life without suffering!" " "

Oriental colchicine embarrassed nodded. A few days later, Xu rented an ox cart and took Dong Qiushui home.

When my father learned that he had redeemed Dong Qiushui and married her, he flew into a rage. Dong Qiushui was not allowed to enter, and she was given to Xu's grandmother as a maid.

Xu argued that his father wouldn't listen and resolutely refused to let a dusty woman be his daughter-in-law, thinking it was humiliating.

Xu is ill, bedridden and unable to take medicine. Half a month passed, and he was skinny and so weak.

Xu's mother found her father and cried. At this rate, his son will die sooner or later. They are the only children. If they die, who will carry on the family line? Who will die of old age?

Xu's father thought for a long time, sighed and said, "that's it. Let's follow this rebellious son. "

Mother was overjoyed and quickly sent a small sedan chair to pick up Dong Qiushui.

When Xu saw Dong Qiushui standing in front of him, he suddenly jumped out of bed and took her hand and refused to let go. The condition has improved.

After a period of nursed back to health, Xu recovered. On an auspicious day, the family held a wedding for them.

Dong Qiushui is very virtuous, filial to his in-laws, kind to his servants, and very fond of Xu.

After a long time, Xu's father softened his face, praised his daughter-in-law and accepted her completely.

Two years later, Dong Qiushui became pregnant. 10 expires, which is the time of delivery, and dystocia appears. Although the mother and son were finally saved through the efforts of the midwife, she fell behind the root of the disease.

In the cold winter, the disease broke out and dragged on until the next spring, as if it were not working. The family quietly prepared for her funeral.

That night, as I lay dying, Dong Qiushui took Xu's hand and said weakly, "You and I are not married enough, and we are unwilling. How pitiful God is to me! "

Say that finish, give up. Xu jumped on Dong Qiushui and cried several times.

A few nights later, Xu Wenzhi dreamed that Dong Qiushui came in and said with a smile:

"The nether world sympathizes with me and allows me to marry you in the afterlife. I was born in the Yao family in Jiangbei. Sixteen years later, if you want to marry me, remember to remember. "

Say that finish, and went away. Because of this agreement, Xu no longer has a second wife, not even a concubine, and raises his children with peace of mind.

Parents advised him that the dream was not credible and asked him to remarry as soon as possible. After talking too much, Xu was shaken and decided to go to the Yao family in Jiangbei to find out the truth and make a decision.

When I arrived at the Yao family in Jiangbei, there was a woman named Yao, six or seven years old, who looked like Dong Qiushui. When asked about the date of birth, it was the day when Dong Qiushui died.

When Mr. Yao learned that Xu was standing in front of him, he was shocked and said, "There really is a man named Xu in the world!" "

It turns out that Yao has been talking about marrying Xu since he was a child. Mr. Yao is very surprised that there is really a Xu who comes to the door now.

Mr. Yao was even more surprised when Xu told the ins and outs in detail. When Yao learned that Xu was coming, he came out and took his hand, trying to go back with him.

Xu said that she would marry her when she was over 16 years old, but she was persuaded. He immediately made a betrothal gift and set an engagement. Since fate has long been doomed, Mr. Yao did not refuse and promised.

Ten years later, Yao turned sixteen, married her and went home.

When he got home, Yao found that the layout of the bedroom was still the same as that of that year, and he couldn't help crying.

Yao can name those old servants, and people are convinced that she is the reincarnation of Dong Qiushui.

At this time, Xu's son is actually older than Yao. Yao is very virtuous. He gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and the family lived a happy life.
