Talk about Zai Zhiyi - Ainu

There is a scholar in Hejian Province, surnamed Xu, who works as a private school in Encun. Entering the Waxing Moon, Xu Sheng went home from winter vacation, and met an old man on the way. The old man looked at him and said, "Mr. Xu is no longer teaching in Encun, where will he go to teach next year?" Mr. Xu replied, "I still teach." The old man said, "My name is Shi Jingye, I have a nephew, I want to find a good teacher, just now he asked me to go to Dongyan Village to ask Mr. Lu Zilian, but the family has already accepted the dowry of Jimen Street." If you come to my house, sir, you will be paid twice as much as in the village of En. Xu Sheng resigned and said that he should keep his promises when he had an appointment with Encun. The old man said: "Trustworthiness is a gentleman's demeanor, but it will be early to start school next year." I will give you one or two gold as a dowry first, temporarily come to me to teach for a few days, and then discuss it in the New Year, how about it? Xu Sheng agreed. The old man got off his horse and presented him with both hands of the dowry, saying, "My house is not far away, the house is small and simple, and it is impossible to feed the cattle." Can you send the servants and horses back, and we'll be fine walking next. Xu Sheng agreed and put the luggage on the old man's horse.

After walking for three or four miles, the sun was about to set, and I arrived at the old man's house. Xu Sheng saw that there were rows of large nails drummed out of the gate and door knockers decorated with the heads of wild beasts, which were obviously the homes of people with identities. The old man called his nephew out to pay respects to the teacher, and Xu Sheng looked at him as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager. The old man said: "My brother-in-law's name is Jiang Nanchuan, and he was a commanding envoy before he was born, so he left this child behind, but he was not stupid, but he was more coddled." Having sir you teach him for a month must be better than reading books for ten years. After a while, a sumptuous wine feast was served, but it was all women who poured wine and served it. A maid waited with a wine jug, she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, her demeanor was very beautiful, and Xu Sheng was a little moved. After the feast, the old man ordered Xu Sheng to prepare a bed to rest before resigning. Before dawn, the teenager came to study. As soon as Xu Sheng got up, a maid came with a towel washbasin. This maid was the one who took the pot last night. Three meals a day, all of which she serves. In the evening, she came again to clean the bed. Xu asked, "Why are there no male servants?" The maid only smiled and did not speak, laid out the quilt and left. The next night came again, Xu tried to test her with flirtatious words, she still laughed, and did not refuse, Xu Sheng slept with her. The maid said to Xu, "There are no men in my family, and everything outside depends on Uncle Shi." My name is Ainu, and Madame respects you very much, and is afraid that other maids will not work cleanly, so she sent me here. Today, this matter must be kept secret, so as not to be discovered, and we are both humiliated. ”

One night, the two overslept, and the boy came to class and met. Xu was embarrassed and uneasy. In the evening, Ainu said, "Fortunately Madame values you, otherwise it would have been bad." The prince went in and exposed our affairs, and Madame hurriedly covered his mouth, as if afraid you would hear, and merely warned me not to stay too long in your study. "After saying that, I left. Xu Sheng was very grateful to Madame. But even her son did not want to study and criticize him, and his mother often told a story; at first, she sent a maid, and slowly came forward in person, talking to the teacher through the window, and even shed tears. Every night, she must ask how her son is studying during the day. Xu Sheng was very impatient and said angrily: "You are lazy by your son again, and you ask me to teach my child well, I can't be this teacher!" I quit! Madame sent a maid to confess her mistake, and Xu cai calculated.

Since Xu Sheng came to be a gentleman, he often wanted to look at the scenery outside to relax, and his wife always locked him up at home. One day, Xu Sheng drank wine, a little drunk, and his heart was not happy, and he called the maid to ask why. The maid said, "There is no other meaning, that is, I am afraid of delaying my son's studies." Sir, if you really want to go out for a walk, it's not impossible, please in the evening. Xu Sheng listened and got angry: "If you take a few gold from others, you should suffocate to death?!" Where do I go at night? I have been ashamed for how many days I have been eating people's meals, and the dowry paid for me is still in my bag. So he took out the gold and put it on the table, and immediately packed his bags and left. Madame came out and didn't say a word, only covering her face with her sleeve and choking. Asked the maid to return the gold to Xu Sheng, opened the lock, and opened the door to send him away. Xu Sheng went out and felt that the door was very narrow; after taking a few steps, he shot the sun, only to find himself coming out of a collapsed lump of earth. Look around, it is very desolate, it turned out to be an ancient tomb. Xu Sheng was very frightened, and grateful for his wife's kindness to him, so he used the gold she gave to hire someone to cultivate the grave and plant trees around him before going home.

A year passed, and Xu Sheng passed by here again, saluted and hurried to the grave. In the distance, he saw the old man surnamed Shi coming, smiled and greeted Xu Sheng, and earnestly invited him to be a guest. Xu Sheng knew in his heart that he was a ghost, but he wanted to ask his wife about the recent situation, so the two went into the village and bought wine in the tavern to drink together, and before they knew it, it was late. The old man got up and paid for the sprinkler and said, "My house is not far from here, my sister just happened to come back to her mother's house, and Mr. Pan will take a trip to drive away the evil for the old man!" A few steps out of the village, another courtyard, knocked on the door and went in, lit a candle and sat opposite the guests. After a while, the old man's sister, Madame Jiang, came out of the inner chamber, and Xu Sheng saw her for the first time, and carefully examined it, it turned out to be a beautiful woman of about forty years old. Madame Jiang thanked Xu Shili and said, "My family, which has fallen out like this, the door is cold, sir, you can give Enderbu to the dead, I really don't know how to repay." "After saying that, I fell into tears. After a while, Madame Jiang shouted, "Love slave! He also explained to Xu Sheng, "This maid is something I usually like, and giving her to my husband now can also comfort you with the loneliness of your journey." What you need, she can understand what you mean. Xu Sheng agreed one by one. Not long after, the old man's brothers and sisters were gone, and Ainu left to wait for Mr. Torella to sleep. The chicken crowed all over the place, and the old man came to urge him to get up and send him off. Lady Jiang also came out, instructed Ainu to serve Mr. Xu well in the future, and said to Xu: "From now on, you should be careful to keep secrets, the exchanges between our two families are very strange and mysterious, and it is not good for people who are afraid of good things to make some rumors." Xu Sheng agreed and said goodbye. Riding a horse with Ainu, he went to the teaching library, asked for a room for himself, and lived with Ainu. Occasionally, there were guests coming, and Ainu did not shy away from her, and others could not see her. If Xu Sheng wanted something, she thought about it, and she brought it. She was good at witchcraft again, a little sick, and as soon as she massaged, she was immediately fine.

It was the Qingming Festival again, Xu Sheng returned to the ancient tomb place, and Ainu resigned and dismounted. Xu instructed her to greet madame on her behalf, and Ainu said, "Yes." So it was gone. A few days later, Xu Sheng came back to look for her, just to observe the grave, when he suddenly saw Ainu sitting under a tree in a gorgeous dress, so he went on the road with her. In this way, I get used to coming and going together every year. Xu Sheng planned to take her home with him, but she firmly disagreed.

At the end of the year, Xu Sheng resigned from the library and returned to his hometown to make an appointment with Ainu for another meeting. Ainu took him to the tree where he had sat, pointed to a pile of stones, and said, "This is my grave." Before my wife got married, I waited by her side, and I was buried here after I died. Sir, if you pass by again and burn a pillar of incense to hang me, we will be able to meet. ”

Xu Sheng bid farewell to Ainu and returned home, missing her very much, and went to the grave to burn incense with respect, but did not see her shadow. He bought a coffin, dug a grave, and planned to take the bones home and rebury them to express his love. After the grave was excavated, Xu Sheng personally went in to see that Ainu's face was the same as that of a living person; although the skin was not rotten, the clothes were as rotten as ash, and the gold and jade jewelry on his head was as fresh as what he had just made. Looking at the waist, there is a bag wrapped in a few pieces of gold. He rolled up the bag and carried it into his arms, then took off his robe, covered the body, carried it to the coffin, rented a car and pulled it home. Stopped in another house, changed her into a new embroidered dress, and slept next to her, hoping for a miracle.

Suddenly, Ainu came in from outside the door, smiled and said, "The thief who dug people's graves is here!" Xu Sheng greeted her with surprise, she said: "I arrived in Dongchang Mansion a few days ago, and when I came back three days later, the house I lived in was gone. I have been invited by you several times and did not follow you because I had been greatly favored by my wife since I was a child and could not bear to leave her. Now that you have snatched me and buried me, that is your greatest kindness to me. Xu asked her: "The ancients died and then lived, and now your body is the same as before you died, why don't you imitate the ancients to come back to life?" Ainu sighed and said, "This is all destiny." Most of the legends of resurrection after death are false. What is the difficulty in getting up and walking again? But it can't be exactly the same as the living, so there is no need for that. After opening the coffin and entering, the body stood up on its own, its slender figure was very cute, but it was as cold as snow when it touched her arms. So Ai nu wanted to go into the coffin and lie down again, and Xu Hao easily stopped her. She said: "Madame is too fond of me, my master brought back tens of thousands of gold from foreign countries, I secretly took some, and the master did not ask." Later, I was critically ill and had no relatives, so I hid on my body and made a funeral offering. Madame mourned my death so much that she buried me with gold and jade jewelry. My body can not decay, only because I have the qi of The Golden Treasure, if in the world, how can it last? If you really want me to keep my body alive, don't force me to eat. Otherwise, as soon as the aura dissipated, my wandering soul would disappear. Xu Sheng built a beautiful house and lived with her. Her speech and laughter were all the same as ordinary people, except that she did not eat or sleep, and did not see strangers.

A year later, once Xu Sheng drank some wine, a little drunk, raised a glass to force the remaining few drops of wine into her, she immediately fell to the ground, bleeding from her mouth, and the corpse of Kung Fu rotted in one day. Xu Sheng regretted it too late and buried her with a solemn funeral.
