At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a rich brother named Xu Zhiwen who visited relatives and friends in the county town. Relatives and friends took him to drink flower wine and called for a few beautiful women to accompany him. Mei Se accompanied by wine, the mood is comfortable, Su Zhiwen unconsciously has a drunkenness.
At this time, I overheard the woman's crying from upstairs, accompanied by the old bustard's scolding. Su Zhiwen asked why? The woman next to her whispered, "This is a new woman, surnamed Dong, named Qiushui, and I heard that she is the daughter of an official eunuch." Because he refused to show his face, he was often scolded by his mother. Su Zhiwen nodded, did not take it seriously, and continued to drink.
After a while, the woman's cries came from upstairs, as well as the sound of scolding, and the sound of leather whips on the clothes, which was particularly clear. Su Zhiwen could not sit still, stood up and rushed upstairs, only to see a strong man beating a woman with a leather whip, and the woman sat on the ground, crying mournfully.
Xu Zhiwen grabbed the leather whip and scolded, "Bullying a weak woman is a skill!" The old bustard hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Grandpa Gongzi is angry, my daughter is disobedient, I am adjusting her, sweeping away Grandpa Gongzi's drinking Yaxing, I'm really sorry." Xu Zhiwen said disapprovingly: "Less nonsense, where are you tuning?" It was clear that he was forcing her on the road to death. ”
The old bustard said unhappily: "I spent a lot of silver to buy it, eat my house and wear mine, the cost is not small, if I don't do things, I won't buy a money-losing goods!" Grandpa Gongzi, I see that you are a person who cherishes the incense and pities the jade, so it is better to help her redeem herself, and save me the trouble. I've had enough. ”
Xu Zhiwen looked at the woman, about fifteen or sixteen years old, born with a flower and moon appearance, the tear marks on her face were not dry, which made people especially love and pity, and even some reluctance.
Xu Zhiwen said angrily, "I see that she is the daughter of a good family, and sooner or later you will destroy her." I'll redeem her, and you'll make a price. The old bustard asked for three thousand taels of silver, and Xu Zhiwen agreed, went downstairs to find relatives and friends, explained the reason, and borrowed three thousand taels of silver from him.
Relatives and friends hurriedly ordered their servants to go home and bring three thousand taels of silver. The old bustard was overjoyed, delivered the paperwork, and instructed the servants to carry the woman to the house of relatives and friends with a small warm palanquin.
That night, relatives and friends vacated a house, posted a big red happy word, and let the two enter the cave room. Xu Zhiwen asked about the woman's origins, and the woman wiped a handful of sad tears and spoke slowly.
Her name is Dong Qiushui, her father was originally a government official, and she had only one daughter under her knees. His father was an official and honest, and he did not flatter the powerful, so he offended his superiors and was remembered by him. Last year, there was a drought in the localities, and the imperial court allocated money and grain to help the poor people. There was an official under his subordinate who secretly used a small bucket to release grain when distributing disaster grain. Later, the East Window Incident occurred, the father was implicated, was deposed and sentenced to death, and the family property was confiscated. Her mother was also imprisoned, and she was sold by the government.
Because she received good upbringing from an early age, she did not want to fall into the dust. Tonight, the old bustard asked her to go out and sing to the guests, but she refused, so she was beaten and scolded.
After listening to her tragic life, Xu Zhiwen said excitedly: "I will be good to you, and from now on let you live a stable life and no longer suffer!" Dong Qiushui nodded shyly.
After a few days, Xu Zhiwen rented an ox cart and brought Dongqiushui home. When his father learned that he had redeemed himself for Dong Qiushui and became close to her, he was furious and forbade Dong Qiushui to enter, and gave her to Xu Zhiwen's grandmother as a handmaiden.
Xu Zhiwen argued on the basis of reason, but his father could not listen, and resolutely forbade the wind and dust woman to be a daughter-in-law, believing that it was insulting to the court. Xu Zhiwen was sick, bedridden, and taking medicine was ineffective. Half a month passed, and he was as thin as wood and as strong as a gossamer.
Su Zhiwen's mother found his father and complained that if this continued, her son would die sooner or later. If they are such an only son, if they die, who will pass on the lineage? Who will give them the end of their lives?
Su Zhiwen's father pondered for a long time, sighed, and said, "That's it, just rely on this rebellious son." The mother was overjoyed, and quickly sent a small flower palanquin to bring back the Eastern Autumn Water.
As soon as Xu Zhiwen saw Dong Qiushui standing in front of him, he jumped off the bed violently, took her hand and refused to let go again, and the disease was eight or seven minutes better. After a period of recuperation, Xu Zhiwen recovered his health. An auspicious day was chosen and the family held a wedding for them.
Dong Qiushui is very virtuous, filial piety to his in-laws, benevolent treatment of his subordinates, and love for Xu Zhiwen. After a long time, Xu Zhiwen's father's face eased, praised the daughter-in-law, and completely accepted her.
After two years, Dong Qiushui became pregnant. At the end of October, when it was time for childbirth, there was a difficult birth. Although through the efforts of the midwife, the mother and son were eventually saved, but she fell ill. In the cold winter, the illness broke out, dragged to the spring of the next year, and it seemed that it would not work, and the family quietly prepared for her.
On this night, when it was time to die, Dong Qiushui took Xu Zhiwen's hand and said weakly: "You and I have not been husband and wife enough, and we are unwilling, and God is so thin to me!" "After saying that, let's go west." Xu Zhiwen pounced on Dong Qiushui's body and fainted from crying several times.
A few days later, in the evening, Su Zhiwen dreamed that Dong Qiushui walked in, smiled and said, "YinJi sympathizes with me and allows me to marry you in my next life." I was born in the Yao family in Jiangbei, and sixteen years later, you will marry me, remember. "After saying that, it's gone.
Because of this agreement, Xu Zhiwen did not continue the string, and even the concubine did not accept it, and raised the child with peace of mind. His parents persuaded him that the things in his dreams were not credible, so he should marry again as soon as possible. After saying too much, Xu Zhiwen was shaken in his heart and decided to go to Yao's house in Jiangbei to explore the truth and make a decision.
When I arrived at the Yao family in Jiangbei, there was indeed a daughter named Yao Zhiqiu, who was six or seven years old, and her appearance was quite similar to that of Dongqiushui. When I asked the date of birth, it was the day that Dong Qiushui died. When he learned that it was Xu Zhiwen standing in front of him, Yao Yuanwai was stunned and said, "There is indeed a person named Xu Zhiwen on him!" ”
It turned out that Yao Zhiqiu was young, but he always said that he wanted to marry Xu Zhiwen as his wife. Now that there was really a Xu Zhiwen coming to the door, Yao Yuanwai was very surprised. Xu Zhiwen explained the causes and consequences in detail, and Yao Yuanwai was even more amazed.
When Yao Zhiqiu learned that Xu Zhiwen had come, he came out and took his hand and did not lose it, and wanted to go back with him. Su Zhiwen said that he promised her to marry her again after she reached the age of sixteen, and only then persuaded her to stay. He immediately made a dowry and made a marriage contract. Since the fate had long been predestined, Yao Yuanwai did not resign and agreed to come down.
Ten years passed, and after Yao Zhiqiu turned sixteen, Xu Zhiwen married her home. When he arrived at home, Yao Zhiqiu found that the layout of the bedroom still preserved the appearance of that year, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Those elderly servants, Yao Zhiqiu could call out their names, and people were convinced that she was reincarnated by Dongqiushui. At this time, Xu Zhiwen's son was actually more than half a year older than Yao Zhiqiu.
Yao Zhiqiu was very virtuous, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter to Xu Zhiwen, and the family lived a happy and happy life. A woman married the same man as a wife, and it was passed down as a good story for a while.
The Buddha said that a hundred years of cultivation came to cross the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation came to sleep together. As the saying goes, not a family, not a door. Those who can walk into the marriage hall together are all blessings cultivated in previous lives, and I hope that everyone will cherish the people around them. This story adopts an absurd penmanship, which lies in borrowing things to persuade the world to cherish hard-won love, which has nothing to do with feudal superstition.
