Pan Yuanliu, the emperor of Kaifeng City, was a descendant of an official eunuch. He had a son, named Pan Xiu, who was weak in age and handsome in appearance.
On the day of the Qingming Festival, Pan Weng prepared the sacrifice and went to the grave alone to visit the grave.
See father gone. Pan Xiu couldn't stay at home, so he took a pair of precious red tooth balls and went out to play. This red tooth ball was a treasure given to the ancestors of the Pan family by Emperor Zhenzong of Song that year, and it was very rare and precious.
Pan Xiu played with the ball in his hand and unconsciously walked to the door of Liu Chaofeng's house diagonally opposite. The door of the Liu family was open, the curtain was hanging down halfway, and the red skirt under the curtain was seen swinging, revealing a pair of embroidered bow shoes.
Pan Xiu guessed what kind of beautiful lady behind the curtain, and her heart couldn't help but feel anxious.
Just at this moment, a frivolous doorman passed by, and seeing that Pan Xiu had lost his soul, he went forward and asked, "Pan Gongzi is wandering here, for what purpose?"
Pan Xiu told him about the troubles in his heart, and the doorman said, "How difficult is it that you want to see this woman." ″
After saying that, I gave Pan Xiu an idea: let him deliberately throw the tooth ball into the goal, go in and find the ball himself, and then you can see the person behind the curtain?
According to the plan of the doorman, Pan Xiu did indeed see the woman behind the curtain. The woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with white skin and red lips, and a beautiful face. Pan Xiu waved at her and said, "I was playing with tooth balls, and I accidentally threw the ball into the door of your house, offending Miss, hoping to forgive the crime." "
This woman is the daughter of the Liu family, called Liu Hua shy, and today her parents are going out to qingqing. When I was young, when I saw that my parents were not at home, I stood in the doorway and looked out the street through the curtain.
The flower shy girl saw Pan Xiuqi Yuxuan, her appearance was extraordinary, and her heart was suddenly full of love. She smiled and said, "I was fortunate to meet you, it must be fate, I don't know how to go inside, I talk while drinking, I don't know what the prince intends?" ″
Pan Xiu listened, and her heart was both excited and doubtful, this Miss Liu Family was extraordinary, and it was difficult to open her mouth when she hesitated.
Hua Shy saw that Pan Xiu hesitated and twisted, and even pulled Pan Xiu's shirt and said, "If you refuse, I will go to the official palace to sue you." ″
Hua Shy's bold move made Pan Xiu throw out his tongue in shock. Helpless, with a nervous heart, they obeyed the meaning of Miss Hua Shy; the two came to Hua Shy's boudoir, sat down to drink, and looked at each other with affection. Hua Shy asked Pan Xiu, "Are you GuiGeng this year?" "
Pan Xiu replied, "I am Pan Xiu of your family's oblique opposite the door, and I have wasted nineteen springs." "
"Did you marry a wife?" ″
"Not yet married."
Hua Shy said boldly, "I don't have a match for anyone, if the prince doesn't dislike the little girl, I am willing to marry you!" ″
Pan Xiu was shocked to hear this, and said: "The girl is not disgusted, and invited me to the girl's boudoir to drink, which shows the girl's sincerity to the bottom." But you and I meet for a drink in private, and if your parents know about it, I'm afraid they'll blame us. ″
Hua Shy waved her hand and said, "Gongzi is in my room, my parents will not know, Gongzi please don't worry and be afraid." ″
The two men exchanged heartfelt words, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and Hua Shy said: "Today's meeting with gongzi is a divine fate, I am not married, you are not married, the prince might as well let the matchmaker come to the door to propose to him, you and I are married."
Pan Xiu readily agreed. So the two knelt side by side and swore to heaven that they would never renege on their promises.
After returning home, Pan Xiu, day and night love and flower shyness of the scene of cups, so intoxicated, although close to the flower shy, but like a thousand miles away. But it is difficult for me to talk to my parents. It didn't take long for people to be tortured to the point of being haggard.
Pan Weng and his wife saw their son like this, and after repeated questioning, Pan Xiu told him about his love and appointment with the daughter of the Liu family who was obliquely opposite the door.
Mr. and Mrs. Pan Weng loved this son very much, and rushed to the Liu family to propose to the Central Matchmaker.
But Liu Weng said: "My family does not have a son, only Hua Shy, this daughter, and she must not be allowed to marry outside." Either into my home, you can also consider. ″
The matchmaker replied to Mr. and Mrs. Pan Weng with Liu Weng's words, and Pan Weng said, "I only have this one son, how can I possibly join his Liu family?" It must be the Liu family deliberately pushing back. "
Pan Xiu begged his parents to go to the Liu family again to say goodbye, and his father reprimanded: "Since he Liu family is not willing to get married, the rich and noble families in Kaifeng City have a lot of money, and they are not worried about finding someone to marry." I will negotiate for you to marry another family. ″
Pan Xiu has a cowardly personality, and when he heard his father say this, he was just silent. The matter of saying relatives was delayed, so that later, Pan Xiujing obeyed his parents' wishes and married the Zhao family, and also cut off his thoughts of Hua Shame.
On the day of Pan Xiu's marriage, the family was blowing and beating, and the joy was noisy.
Poor Hua Shy stood in the doorway and looked out, seeing the lively scene of the Pan family, heartbroken, remembering the scene where he and Pan Xiu knelt and swore to the sky, and couldn't help but cry like rain.
Thinking of that day, Hua Shy ignored the shyness of the young girl and took the initiative to propose marriage to Pan Xiu, but did not expect that he was actually a negative boy?
Since then, the bitter, sad, and desolate flowers have been depressed, and in the autumn rain, they have died of melancholy.
When Liu Weng and his wife learned the reason for their daughter's death, it was too late to regret it. Grieving, they let two servants bury their daughter outside the south gate of Kaifeng City.
One of the two servants was Li Xin, who was usually close to Hua Shy, and the young lady was particularly kind to him. Thinking that the young lady was so young and beautiful, and she had passed away like this, I really couldn't bear it in my heart.
After Li Xin returned home, he thought that Miss Was so lonely and alone in the deserted suburbs, his mind was moved, and he returned to Miss Hua's grave, dug open the grave, split the coffin, and saw Miss Hua's moon look like she was asleep. I thought to myself: It is a pity that the young lady died so young, even if I used my life to exchange her life, I was willing. "
Thinking about it, Li Xin felt tired, drowsiness struck, lost for a while, trance, under the bright moonlight, he saw the flowers in the coffin, his body twisted a few times, his eyes actually opened, and whispered: I Who is next to me? How do I sleep in a wooden box? ″
Li Xin was stunned: Miss actually came back to life! He hurriedly leaned down and said, "I am the servant Li Xin, Miss, you have woken up, it is very good!" Today, after you were out of breath, the old man asked me to bury you in the desolate suburbs south of the city. After returning home, thinking of your young lady, alone buried in this desolate suburb, the little man really can't bear it, so he came to dig up the coffin and wanted to see you for the last time. Heaven forbid, the young lady actually woke up! ″
Hua Shy, who had come back from the dead, remembered everything that had happened before, and said to Li Xin: "Because Pan Xiu has a negative oath, coupled with my parents' refusal to propose to the Pan family, I am depressed and die." Today, fortunately, you have not forgotten the old grace, and you have the opportunity to open the grave and let me be born again. I don't want to go home again, I'm willing to marry you and take back all the clothes and jewelry in the coffin. ″
Li Xin was full of joy, and after carrying Hua Shy out of the coffin, he re-piled up the grave.
At this time, the east was already glowing. Li Xin returned to his home with Hua Shame, and he said to his mother, "This girl was originally a singer, and she has known me for several years. Now I am willing to get out of the wind and dust, marry me, and bring it home today to meet my mother. ″
When the old man saw that his son could marry such a beautiful girl, he was happy in his heart, so he went forward to hold his daughter-in-law's hand and asked for warmth.
Therefore, Hua Shy and Li Xin, married as a couple, had a deep affection for each other. He sold the ornaments for the funeral of the flower shy, rented a shop, and started to sell them. The flower shame changed its name to xiaocao, which means that the grass roots wither and spring.
The couple got up early and went dark, and the family gradually became rich.
A year later, in the middle of the night before a cold winter, the neighbors of Li Xin's family accidentally caught fire due to a roasting fire, and the whole fire burned down the street where Li Xin's family was located. In the middle of the night, Li Xin and his wife and their old mother, in a panic, fled for their lives wearing only single clothes.
In the darkness, Hua Shy and Li Xin were separated,
Dressed in a thin shirt, she stumbled through a few streets and alleys before suddenly coming to her house. Hua Shy couldn't care less about anything, so she went forward and knocked on the door, and the servant asked inside, "Who is knocking on the door?" ″
Hua Mi replied, "I am Hua Mi, miss!" Come home and see my grandmother. ″
The servant inside heard this, trembled with surprise, and said, "Miss Flower and Flower Shame have been dead for a year!" You, you're her ghost, right? Tomorrow I will definitely tell your father and mother that they will burn more paper money for you. Let's go! "
The servant was too frightened to open the door, and let the flower shyly explain it again and again, but the servant just refused to open the door.
In the cold, Hua Shame and tears were in her eyes, and for a moment there was nowhere to go. She stood under the eaves of the door, and saw the lights flickering diagonally across from the Pan family's house, and the sound of drinking and guessing fists.
Hua Shy stiffened her scalp and went to knock on the door of the Pan family. Who is the person inside, Hua Mi said that she is the opposite Hua Mi, and there is an urgent matter to ask him for help.
The servant went upstairs and informed Pan Xiu, who was drinking with a group of friends, that there was a woman outside the door named Hua Shy who was looking for him.
Pan Xiu listened to the newspaper, frightened, hua shame she is not dead for a year, how can she come to the door to find herself, can she resent me for breaking the oath and marrying someone else? Ghosts come to the door to settle accounts?
Pan Xiu asked the servant to bring the lamp and bring the Zhu Meditation paper money, while he himself took a Longquan sword from the wall and held it in his hand to strengthen his courage.
When he opened the door to look, it was indeed a poor flower shy, wearing a summer shirt, Pan Xiu thought to himself: This cold winter waxing moon, is the ghost not afraid of the cold? He said to her, "You can't resent me. Why bother me? Burn more money for you now, and you're leaving! "
When you're done, let the servant close the door quickly. Hua Shy cried out in shame, refused to leave, and said to the door: "Pan Xiu, you are a negative person, treacherous, you must not die!" ″
Pan Xiu, who was behind the door, was furious when he heard this, opened the door and raised his sword, stabbed a few swords at the flowers in the cold wind, and then did not look at it, closed the door and went back upstairs to continue drinking.
At dawn, a group of Yamen officers and soldiers patrolling the streets found Hua Shame who had fallen in a pool of blood, saw that she was still breathing, and rushed back to Yamen for rescue.
Maybe it was fate that should not be desperate, the heavens saw pity, Pan Xiu's swords, because of drinking wine, drunken eyes, stabbed several swords, all stabbed at the shoulder.
After treatment and conditioning, Hua Mi once again returned from the brink of death. She was in a coma for two days, and when she woke up, she cried and told her what had happened to her, Yin Baosheng, who had come to ask questions.
After Bao Zheng listened, he felt both sympathy and pity. The next day, he ascended to the church and summoned all the people related to the flower shame to the church.
When Hua Shy appeared above the lobby, everyone present except Li Xin thought they were blind.
When Bao Zheng told Hua Shy's encounter in the hall, Hua Shy's parents and Pan Xiu looked at Hua Shy with a miserable face in surprise.
Liu Weng and his wife, in tears, went forward to hug their poor daughter tightly and hugged the group and cried together, while Pan Xiu went to Hua Shame and knelt down, squeezed his mouth with his hand, and said guiltily: "Hua Shy Girl, I Pan Xiu am sorry for you, I broke my oath, and I also stabbed you with a sword." I, I'm ashamed of you! ″
Liu Weng and his wife also said guiltily: "Poor daughter, they all blame their father and mother for not being good, violating your wishes, and making you suffer a lot!" Daughter, come home with us, after that, Daddy will treat you well! "
Hua Shy walked up to Li Xin and said, "I'm already his wife, how can I go back to my mother's house?" ″
Bao Zheng's final verdict: Li Xin stole the grave, according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and should be beheaded. He should remember his Savior's heart, and save Hua Shame's life, and his merits and deeds were offset, and he was exempt from punishment.
Pan Xiu, who was armed with a sword and injured someone, was in trouble, and then he was lucky to hurt people's lives, and he was instructed to take out two pieces of silver and give it to Li Xin and his wife, whose house had burned down, as a means of redemption.
Liu Weng and his wife reflected on themselves well, and because of the stubbornness of their parents, they harmed their daughter twice through life and death.
None of the people in the church had any objection to Bao Zheng's verdict. Li Xin and his wife Hua Shy, thanked Lord Bao, and went out to find a suitable house.
With tears in their eyes, Liu Weng and his wife watched their daughter and son-in-law go away, and a smile appeared on their faces.
