Shangqiu There is a wealthy family named Wu, who only gave birth to a daughter named Wu Linggu, which is very loved by their parents. Wu Linggu was very smart. When she was a child, she went to a private school and competed with her brothers at home, and always surpassed them.
Her parents looked at Wu Linggu, and the more they looked at her, the more they liked her, and every time they boasted to others, "This is my Linggu, a daughter with talent."
Linggu is not only good at reading, but also a skillful girl. She writes poetry, writes lyrics, and embroidery, and is outstanding in everything.
Linggu's little brother went to the neighbor's private school and studied with their children. My neighbor's surname is Lu, and there is a young master named Lu Meishi, whose nickname is Meisheng, who is quite talented in literature. Moreover, this young master Lu was extremely dignified, elegant and elegant, as if he was in the wind.
Meisheng and Linggu’s elder brother are in good relationship. Linggu's elder brother, Ziyu, was excellent in his peers, but occasionally studied literature in class a few times, but he was at a disadvantage of Meisheng. The two of them appreciate each other and become good friends who urge each other to learn from each other.
One day, they were preparing to try out the best and compare it to poetry. Mei Sheng thought that his poems were well written, while Ziyu had never been very particular about the rhymes, but unexpectedly, his poems were superior this time. The essence of the title is the essence of the poem, and the exquisiteness of his poems is also slightly better than that of Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi .
This made me secretly suspicious. He read the poem carefully, savored the meaning of the poem, and guessed that the poem was written by a woman on his behalf, but it was not convenient to ask Ziyu directly.
Once, Mei Sheng accidentally turned over the homework that Zi Yu placed on the table and found a thin piece of paper sandwiched in the homework. The grid on the paper is hairpin book format, which is written by Ziyu's poem, with the same words and extremely beautiful handwriting.
So he took this piece of paper and asked Ziyu: "This is clearly written by a woman. If you don't tell me, I'll show it to the teacher!"
Tiyu blushed, embarrassed to say that it was written by his sister, and said concealedly: "This is written by me imitating my sister Linggu's poem. I hope you don't tell it and keep it secret for me."
Earing Ziyu's words, Meisheng knew that this poem must be Linggu's. Mei Sheng couldn't help but feel longing in his heart.
Meisheng has not been engaged yet, and he heard from Ziyu that Linggu has not betrothed by others. He really wants to marry Linggu, but he always begs for this matter to her parents.
Meisheng was also worried that although Linggu was talented, she could write poetry, and her appearance and temperament might not be good. I thought I had to calm down and slowly find out the details before making a decision.
It was summer. Meisheng climbed up to his own pavilion to enjoy the cool air. He paced back and forth, looking into the distance. Suddenly, with a "ah" sound, a window opened in the building next door. Meisheng saw a woman in the boudoir, leaning against the railing, holding her cheek with one hand, her eyebrows and eyes full, and she was thinking.
It turns out that Meisheng's house and Linggu's boudoir were separated by a wall, and his home was in the west wing, facing Linggu's bedroom. Meisheng and Linggu were both surprised when they suddenly saw each other.
Meisheng suddenly saw the beauty and was amazed that Hua Gu was like a celestial girl descending to earth. When Linggu saw Mei Sheng's appearance and handsome appearance, she couldn't help but feel admiring her. One of them was upstairs and the other was in the pavilion, looking at each other. Although they could not speak, their eyes were filled with affection and could not be entangled. It was not until a long time before Linggu was willing to close the window and leave.
Brow returns to the study without any sense of soul, unable to contain his inner excitement, and he lifts his pen and writes a regular poem. He copied the poem on an exquisite silk fan and gave it to Ziyu, and indicated the writing time at the end of the poem.
poem is written like this:
The peach blossom door and alley are lush, and you can see a branch when you understand the spring breeze.
The good mountain across the river appears first, shining on the crescent moon.
The shadow of the storm broke the mystery, and thought about it in the deep deer forest.
I am sad without waiting for the search again, and I am blowing my white hair on my temples for a while.
Linggu saw this poem in her brother's fan. She knew that Mei Sheng loved her and wrote a poem to express her feelings.Linggu wrote a quatrain on the letter paper with gold edges. While his brother was not in class, he asked the maid to secretly throw the letter paper on Meisheng's desk. When Meisheng saw the poem, he read it carefully and decided that it was written to him by Linggu after receiving the poem he wrote. Linggu knew his feelings, and Linggu also loved him, and Meisheng was very happy.
That night, a faint moonlight shone into the curtain, as gentle as a pair of affectionate hands. The bright stars flashed at the window, as hazy as a fairyland. Linggu sat alone with a lamp on her back, feeling unhappy, and sighed. Meisheng held her shoulders from behind and said tenderly, "Why did you feel so much sorrow out of thin air?"
Linggu did not expect Meisheng to suddenly come to her boudoir. She couldn't help but be surprised and happy and asked where he came from. Mei Sheng smiled and replied, "I came here to meet the promise in your poem. Do you want to imitate the double-text and regret the promise in your poem?"
Linggu lowered her head shyly, her hands just caressed her skirt, and remained silent. Meisheng got engaged to her privately. From then on, the two of them had quietly come and go every night, but no one in Linggu's family noticed it.
There is a young man named Di Sheng in the neighboring province who can write beautiful articles at the age of 20, and his reputation has reached the ears of Uncle Ling's father. Uncle Ling's father fell in love with him and wanted him to be his son-in-law.
Di Sheng also heard of Linggu's talent and he specially sent a matchmaker to the Wu Mansion to propose. Linggu's father readily agreed to the marriage, chose a good day, and prepared to formally engage Huagu and Disheng.
Linggu was very anxious after hearing this, so she hurriedly came to discuss with Meisheng. Mei Sheng thought about it without any plan. Linggu couldn't help but burst into tears. She had tears in her eyes and said to Meisheng, "You are a dignified man, and you can't protect a woman who truly loves you!"
Meisheng was both ashamed and embarrassed, speechless, and actually ran away from Hua Gu's boudoir. Hua Gu was very disappointed. In the middle of the night, she took two silk handkerchiefs, tied a concentric belt, and sent her away, and hanged herself under the tree of pear blossoms.
Only after dawn did her parents know about this, but it was too late to save it. My parents thought about it and didn't know the cause of their beloved daughter's death, so they could only cry. They temporarily stored the coffin in the temple and waited for the funeral place to be chosen before they were buried with her.
Meisheng suddenly heard the bad news and was shocked and worried. He covered his head and lay in bed, feeling in pain. In a trance, his soul left his body and walked floating around. Mei Sheng saw a graceful woman walking in front of her, looking like Linggu.
Meisheng hurriedly chased forward, trying to hold her, but in the blink of an eye, he was far away and could not keep up. So he cried and called Linggu's name. The woman seemed to hear Mei Sheng's scream, so she stopped and waited for him. When they met, the woman was indeed Linggu.
Linggu was shocked when she saw Meisheng and hurriedly said, "How could you come here? This place is the heaven of Liheng, not the world on earth, not the place you should come. I have a weak life and cannot combine with talented men. I just went to the mortal world temporarily to end a period of old grudges with you. Now I have to go back. Your future is still very broad, and your parents have high expectations for you. You should go back quickly!"
Meisheng cried and refused, saying, "If I can't return to the world with you, I'm willing to go back from it." This place has been living underground for a long time! "Linggu said movedly, "Then you are here for the time being. I will explain this matter to the host. If God pity us, there will be good news."
Linggu left floatingly and came back after a while. She said happily, "Things have been done! The host pity you for your affection and ordered us to return to the mortal world together and become a husband and wife. If you go back now, just quietly open the lid of my coffin, and I can come back to life by myself." After that, she patted Mei Sheng's shoulder with her hand, and Mei Sheng suddenly woke up.
Meisheng recalled the dream he had in a trance, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't bear to let go of Hua Gu. So he used the excuse that he was sick and had to avoid people in recuperation, so he moved to the temple to study.
In the middle of the night, Mei Sheng secretly opened Linggu's coffin. Linggu is as bright and beautiful as before.Meisheng loved her in his heart, and was not afraid. He carried her to his bed and fed her a few sips of Shenling Decoction with his mouth.
Meisheng sat by the bed and guarded Linggu. When it was dawn, Linggu had a slight sound, her tightly closed eyes opened slightly, and her rosy lips were about to speak but stopped. Three days later, Linggu returned to her usual appearance. Mei Sheng saw it and felt like he had found a treasure. Because this incident was too shocked, he planned to take Linggu to another place to stay away from his hometown to avoid acquaintances.
Just when there was no choice, Meisheng's parents received a letter from Meisheng's mother's uncle who lives in Jinling . When the mother's uncle saw that the three-year provincial examination was about to arrive, he sent a letter to Meisheng to live in his house to prepare for the exam. Meisheng then left his parents and went to Jinling.
Meisheng's boat was also quietly carrying Linggu. After arriving in Jinling, Meisheng rented a house by Mochou Lake. The three houses I rented were close to the lake, quiet and spacious. The green waves of the lake reflect the red thresholds of the houses, and the brilliance of the green tiles and the bead curtains shine together, which is of a unique interest. Linggu was wearing a red gauze shirt and looking away from the railing, she was as elegant as a fairy. Everyone who saw her was shocked.
Meisheng's uncle sent someone several times to ask Meisheng to live in his house. Meisheng even used the excuse of living with the people who came to participate in the exam and refused to move in. But my uncle heard that there was a woman in red in Meisheng's room. She suspected that it was the prostitute he summoned. She was very worried about him, so she secretly wrote a letter to tell Meisheng's mother.
Meisheng's mother was secretly frightened when she heard this and asked a confidant old woman to visit her. The old woman found Meisheng's home, went in and saw Linggu. She was so scared that her face turned pale, she staggered back out, and shouted loudly that she was a ghost in the sun. As a result, Linggu's traces gradually became exposed.
Meisheng saw that he could not live here anymore, so he took Linggu across the river to Weiyang and wrote a letter to his close friend Zheng Sheng, writing the whole story clearly and asking him to help mediate.
Linggu's parents always cry and cannot relieve their worries whenever they think of their daughter. Zheng Sheng has always had a good relationship with Ziyu. After receiving Meisheng's letter, he found an opportunity to say to Ziyu: "I know there is an Yiren, just like Li Shaoqing of the Han Dynasty . He will use immortal techniques to make the dead return to life and make muscles grow on the bones. Your parents miss their daughter. If they are sad for a long time, they may get sick. I have learned this technique from Yiren. I can call Linggu's soul to comfort your parents' hearts."
Ziyu told his parents about Zheng Sheng's words. His parents did not believe it at first, but his mother had already fallen into illness. She begged, "Why not try it? Even if his method doesn't work, it doesn't matter." Seeing his wife like this, Ziyu's father felt pity for his old wife and really missed his daughter, so he agreed.
So Ziyu handed over the items collected by her mother, Linggu’s past life, her bedding, curtains, clothes and entertainment, etc., to Zheng Sheng, and agreed on a date with Zheng Sheng to meet Linggu.
Zheng Sheng had made a secret arrangement and called Mei Sheng and Ling Gu quietly. In the middle of the night, Zheng Sheng set up in the hall, lit candles on the table, and burned spices in the cauldron. The location of the items in the room and the placement of the bed were the same as Ling Gu's boudoir.
The room was full of sandalwood, and Zheng Sheng took staggering steps, burning the talismans while walking. Linggu's parents stood outside the room, supporting each other, holding their breath and waiting quietly.
After a while, they vaguely heard a woman's sorrowful cry coming from afar, as if the woman was walking forward in pan fragrant . Linggu's parents opened their eyes wide and looked at the man carefully. It was indeed his daughter Linggu.
Zheng Sheng warned on the side that Ling Gu’s soul was weak and she must not approach her, she could only talk to her through the window.
Linggu cried to her parents about her suffering after her death, and said that she should not die when she saw that her life was not over, so she was still allowed to return to the world. After examining the marriage charts of each of her marriage, the divine servant in charge of marriage said that she had a fate with her neighbor Lu Meishi and had not yet settled. If Ling's parents promised to marry each other, Ling's parents could stay in the world.
So Zheng Sheng encouraged Ziyu to call Mei Sheng, saying that he would still be willing to act as a matchmaker and help the two families organize various matters of property transactions and engagement. Mei was born, and he sincerely proposed to Ling's parents, asking them to marry his daughter Ling's parents.
号 Ling's parents were too shocked to be resurrected after their daughter died, which disturbed others and attracted outsiders to come and see the fun. They did not dare to take their daughter home directly, so they pretended to be Zheng Sheng's sister. The two families had the same family as a family, so they regarded her as their goddaughter and married her to Meisheng, the son of the Lu family.
On the night when Linggu got married, there were lanterns and attendants coming and going. It was so lively, and the hall was filled with guests coming to congratulate him. As soon as the bride's red headscarf was opened, among the people she looked around, there was a female family member who had seen Hua Gu, and her eyes widened in shock.
From then on, Linggu went between the Hua family and the Zheng family, like a real relative. Another year later, Linggu told her parents that they wanted them to choose a good place and bury the coffin to conceal their traces.
When the burial was released, the coffin carried the coffin felt that the coffin was empty and had no weight, as if it was not loaded, and suspected that the corpse had been dissolved, so he called the female tomb a fairy tomb.
ah! Linggu started to have a thought, but unfortunately died early, and later she was able to get married with Meisheng. This is God's deep affection that makes them pity. After a lifetime of death, their relationship became deeper.
What is commendable is that Zheng Sheng worked hard for his friends, not only used magical strategies to make Ling Gu come back to life, but also used endless ways to be his matchmaker to make her united with Mei Sheng. Linggu and Meisheng can only remember this affectionate and righteousness forever, and I want to repay Zhengsheng again in the future.
