Chapter 86: Qiao Niang III
Sanniang saw that the two women were quarreling, one was her mother and the other was her good sister. She didn't want either party to get hurt, so she had to be patient and mediate with sincerity. After a lot of talking, she finally settled the matter.
Although Qiao Niang's words were fierce, she was open-minded and forgot about the quarrel. She still treated Aunt Hua and her daughter well afterwards. However, after this incident, Aunt Hua took strict precautions against Qiao Niang and never let her get close to Fu Lian.
The lovesickness is buried deep in my heart, and I occasionally look at each other with affection, just looking at the plum blossoms to quench my thirst.
On this day, Hua Gu said to Fu Lian: "My daughter and Qiao Niang have already bent down to serve the young master. It is not an option to live here forever. The young master should return home early and make an engagement." She immediately prepared her bags and urged Fu Lian to set off and return.
Township.
After hearing the news, the two girls looked sad, and Qiao Niang was even more heartbroken, with tears rolling down her face. Hua Gu waved her hand to stop the two girls from crying, and dragged Fu Lian out of the door. Looking back, she saw that the courtyard was gone, only a deserted building.
mound.
Aunt Hua sent her to the ferry and said, "The young master is coming home this time. I will take the Sanniang sisters to visit him soon. If the young master does not forget his old love, he can come to Li's Abandoned Garden in the county to propose marriage."
Fu Lian agreed wholeheartedly and reluctantly returned home. The old father was overjoyed to see his son return and asked: "Bad boy, where have you been these past few months?"
Fu Lian briefly recounted his experience, and finally begged: "Father, my child has made a marriage agreement with Sanniang, please make it happen."
The old father said: "How can you believe what the fox ghost says? You survived by chance only because you were born an eunuch. Otherwise, your bones would have been gone long ago."
Fu Liandao said: "Although the three sisters are not human beings, they are sincere towards their children. Moreover, the two girls are smart and beautiful. If they marry into the family, they will not disgrace father's reputation."
A trace of sadness flashed across the old father's face, and he said softly: "My child, you have been handicapped since you were a child. Even if you get married, the bride will remain a widow. You cannot force this matter, and that's the end of it."
Fu Lian shouted: "Father, the child has recovered from his condition a long time ago, you can rest assured about this." Mr. Fu shook his head in disbelief, sighed, and turned around to leave.
In order to prove that he was not lying, Fu Lian secretly had sex with the maid, and even had sex with his maid. This incident was soon known to his parents. The old mother asked the maid to ask, and she cried with joy when she learned that her son was fine.
, discussed with Mr. Fu in private, "My son has grown up, it's time to find him a wife."
Mr. Fu pondered: "Well, if you want to find a wife, you must be from the right family, preferably a daughter of a wealthy family. Go and ask Lian'er to come over, I want to ask him personally."
When father and son met, Fu Lian said: "I won't marry a girl who is not a Chinese girl."
Mother said: "There is no shortage of beauties in the world, why should we be obsessed with ghosts?"
Fu Lian said: "The child's illness was cured by Aunt Hua. A man must repay his kindness. Besides, I have promised to marry Sanniang's sister. I cannot break my promise."
Mr. Fu nodded and said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, okay, I promise you." He then sent his servant out to look for Aunt Hua and her daughter. The servant asked around and learned that the Li family's abandoned garden was five miles east of the county town.
Not daring to delay, he rushed right away without stopping.
When I arrived at the manor, I saw a thatched hut in the green bamboo forest hidden by broken walls. Smoke was curling from the kitchen. I pushed the door and walked in. Inside, a mother and daughter were wiping tables and chairs with rags in their hands. The servant explained his purpose and looked at Sanniang with surprise.
As a heavenly being, he praised: "Is this my young lady? I really feel pity for you. No wonder the young master is thinking about it day and night." He then asked, "Where is Miss Qiao Niang?"
Aunt Hua sighed and said, "The little girl was unlucky and passed away three days ago." While sighing, she prepared a banquet to entertain the servants.
After a simple meal, the servant said goodbye and left. After returning home, he reported in detail what he had gained from the trip. Mr. Fu and his wife heard that Sanniang was beautiful and could not help but be overjoyed. Fu Lian couldn't help but couldn't help hearing the news of Qiao Niang's death.
She cried with sadness, but always doubted in her heart, "How can Qiao Niang die again now that she has turned into a ghost?"
On the wedding day, Fu Lian personally asked Hua Gu, "Is Qiao Niang really dead?"
Hua Gu said: "Yes, Qiao Niang was reborn in the north, and she has already been reincarnated as a human being." Hearing this, Fu Lian couldn't stop sighing. He gathered himself together and married Sanniang. After the two got married, Fu Lian never forgot Qiao Niang.
Visitors from Qiongzhou must visit in person and inquire about Qiaoniang's whereabouts. One of them revealed the news: There are often female ghosts crying next to Qiaoniang's grave.
Fu Lian was overjoyed and hurriedly discussed the matter with Sanniang. After hearing this, Sanniang lowered her head silently and pondered for a long time. Suddenly she sobbed softly and cried: "I'm sorry, sister."
Fu Lian asked: "What's going on?"
Sanniang said: "When I came with my mother, I secretly hid it from my sister and didn't let her know. It must be because of this that my sister cries every night. She must be angry and hateful towards me. My husband, I have always wanted to tell you the truth.
, but you are afraid of being scolded by your mother. If you feel unhappy, just beat me to vent your anger."
When Fu Lian heard this, he let out a long sigh and said, "It's not your fault. Let's go to Qiongzhou and take Qiao Niang home for reunion."
The couple rode horses, sedans and boats, and rushed to the cemetery at starry night. They dug up the soil and revealed the coffin. Fu Lian knocked on the coffin lid with both hands and shouted: "Qiao Niang! Qiao Niang! Here I come."
There was a loud bang, the coffin lid was opened, and Qiao Niang walked out of the tomb with the baby in her arms. She looked at Fu Lian infatuatedly, her eyes full of resentment. Fu Lian also felt sad, forced a smile, and asked, "What a cute child."
, who is his father?”
Qiao Niang said with a straight face: "Isn't he the little evil son you gave birth to? He's already three months old, and he doesn't even recognize his own flesh and blood?"
Fu Lian sighed and said, "I misunderstood Aunt Hua's words and buried your mother and son in the ground. It's all my fault."
Qiao Niang said: "Forget it, you and Sanniang came all the way to see me, your conscience is not bad enough, I will forgive you this time." The three of them reconciled and returned to Guangdong by boat together.
After returning to meet her parents-in-law, the old lady was very happy to see that her grandson was handsome and not tainted with ghost energy. The two daughters worked together with one husband, got along harmoniously, were filial to their elders, and the family was happy.
A few years later, Mr. Fu was ill in bed, and his family asked a doctor for treatment. Qiao Niang shook her head and said: "I am terminally ill and my soul has left my body. There is no need to waste my time." Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Fu died. Fu Lian endured his grief and stood up for him.
After the father took care of the funeral, he stayed at home to observe mourning, thanked guests behind closed doors, and devoted himself to teaching his son knowledge.
