The story of Meng Jiangnv

This year, a pair of Qiao Yan lived in the Meng family hall. At that time, it was said that whoever the swallow lived in was blessed. Therefore, the Meng family loves Qiao Yan very much. In the third year of Qiaoyan's residence, it has arrived in the spring of March. Swallows living in other people's homes have all flown back, but those living in their own homes have not returned, and the whole family is very worried.

Just as the Meng family was anxious, suddenly a clever swallow flew straight to the first room and landed on the square table in the middle of the room. Lord Meng is very happy. When he came near, he was surprised to see the swallow's right leg wrapped in red cloth. He thought, oh, is it because someone caught it and hurt his leg?

He hurried forward to catch the swallow and untied the red cloth carefully. At first glance, the red cloth was wrapped in a small paper bag with the word "plant" written on it. Lord Meng was very surprised. He slowly opened the paper bag and saw a full gourd seed inside.

Without saying anything, he planted the seeds at the root of Chaoyang wall and watched them every day. A few days later, a green and strong gourd seedling grew out, and the family named Meng was very happy. Rich water, careful maintenance.

The gourd seedlings grew stronger and stronger, longer and longer, and soon climbed up the wall and dragged them to the head of Jiang's yard. The ginger family is also carefully taken care of. Coincidentally, there is a gourd on the top of the wall in the middle of the seedlings, which Meng and Jiang like very much. The discussion is that when the gourd is ripe, it will be sawed in half, and half of it will be used as a gourd at home.

In autumn, the gourd has matured. When the two families were about to pick up the gourd ladle, they heard a bang. The gourd cracked and a little girl jumped out of it. This girl is very handsome and lovable. Jiang Meng and his wife were very happy. They discussed the name of a little girl.

Speaking of it, both families have contributed to this woman, and they grew up between them. People think that both families have a girl, so they named her Meng Jiangnu after two surnames. Meng Jiangnv grew up slowly, with intelligence and respect, which made Xiao very wise. Women's universities have changed eighteen times, and the more they become, the better they look.

When I was twenty-nine or eighteen, the marriage proposal broke the threshold. Have a plenty of prince, have a plenty of rich children, Jiang Meng two families to discuss to discuss who also haveno.. The old people of the two families are also worried about Meng Jiangnv's marriage. One day, a scholar selling poems and begging came to Meng's door. When Meng's adult saw the written words, they looked like flowers from a distance, and looked like words from a distance. Look at that man. Although his clothes are worn out, he still looks handsome.

I can't help admiring. Let the family call him into the house, give him good tea and food, and slowly pull the family up. It turns out that this scholar is Fan Xiliang, the son of Fan Shi and a close friend of Jiang Meng. Because Qin Shihuang listened to the traitor's slanderers and killed his father, his mother also died, leaving Fan Xiliang alone.

Two adults in Jiang Meng expressed deep sympathy for Fan Xiliang's misfortune, immediately took him in, and betrothed Meng Jiangnv to Fan Xiliang, relieving one of their worries. Unforeseen things happened. On the third day of Fan Xiliang's marriage to Meng Jiangnu, Qin Shihuang ordered the whole country to send mature laborers to the north to build the Great Wall. Fan Xiliang was caught working in the field. Meng Jiangnv cried her eyes out when she heard this.

It is winter in a blink of an eye, and this winter is particularly cold. People keep writing from the north, saying that the emperor only cares about repairing the Great Wall as soon as possible, regardless of the lives of migrant workers, and countless people freeze to death and starve to death. Meng jiangnu was even more uneasy when she heard the news. I made some cotton-padded clothes overnight to bid farewell to the two parents and set off.

Along the way, Meng Jiangnv was hungry to eat steamed bread, thirsty to drink cold water, and walked day and night. On this day, I finally came to the Great Wall and asked about my husband's whereabouts. Ask a question to Shandong migrant workers, saying that Fan Xiliang was buried in the Great Wall after being frozen and hungry. Hearing this, Meng Jiangnv was very sad and burst into tears. I cried for 7749 days in a row and was moved to heaven.

On this day, Meng Jiangnv was crying and only heard a "jump". The Great Wall collapsed, revealing a corpse. Meng Jiangnu stepped forward and saw that it was her husband Fan Xiliang. She hugged her husband and burst into tears.
