A girl who has suffered too much. She is a beautiful girl.
Once upon a time, there was a scholar named Cheng in Jinling, who was generous and married a very beautiful fox and gave birth to a daughter named Cheng.
Later, because Cheng Sheng married a concubine, his wife was so angry that she left home and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, sixteen years have passed, and Mei Qing has grown into a slim girl, smart, beautiful and natural and graceful. Her father was seriously ill and entrusted her to his uncle before he died.
I didn't expect my uncle to be a gambler, so I sold my plum to Wang Quanyou, a new scholar, and gave it to Miss Ashi as a servant girl.
Xi is about the same age as her childhood. She is also a beautiful girl. They hit it off immediately and got on well with each other. Mei Qing is clever and diligent, and the Wangs like her very much.
There is a scholar named Zhang, who lives in a poor family and rents in the Wang family. Zhang Sheng is very filial, virtuous and studious. I've been fixing him up with Asi since I was a child.
However, when Wang Jinshi and his wife heard this, they not only scolded the matchmaker, but also humiliated their daughter Asi.
When Mei Qing saw this situation, she considered marrying Zhang Sheng. She firmly believes that Zhang Sheng is brilliant and filial to her parents, and she will have a bright future. Even if you are not rich, you will not be wronged with such a man for a lifetime.
After making up his mind, Mei Qing proposed to Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng is very happy, but he is worried about no dowry.
At this time, an Xi man took out his private money and gave it to Mei Qing as a dowry. Mei Qing was very moved and knelt down with tears to thank Asi for his kindness.
Soon, Wang Jinshi was selected by the imperial court as the magistrate of Quwo, Shaanxi Province, and Axi took the opportunity to encourage his mother to marry his childhood.
The next day, the Zhang family asked the matchmaker to entrust relatives to marry their childhood friends. Wang Jinshi and his wife agreed as soon as they discussed it. They also said with a smile, "The Zhang family only deserves to find a servant girl as a wife. Want to marry our daughter is simply daydreaming! "
After marriage, Mei Qing was careful to honor her in-laws and diligent in housework. In order to supplement the family, Mei Qing began to embroider, and it sold well. Finally able to cope with the poor days at home.
It is said that Wang Jinshi's family took office in Shaanxi. In less than two years, he and his wife died of illness one after another, and their property was sold out by domestic servants. In the end, Axi was left alone.
In order to bury her parents, she married a businessman named Li as a concubine before burying her parents. However, within a few days, Axi was beaten homeless by Li's wife.
Just when Axi was in a dilemma, a kind old nun took her in.
But a dude heard that there was a beautiful woman in a nun, and he often came to flirt with Axi, which made Axi disheartened and thought about this kind of life.
This is a few years later.
One night, Asi dreamed of his father. Wang Jinshi said sadly in her dream, "Daughter, it's all my fault. My father didn't listen to you and brought you here. Your mother and I regret it! However, as long as you persist for a few days, the good days will come, remember! "
After waking up, Axi thought the dream was strange, but she decided to give up the idea of suicide.
The next day, it rained cats and dogs. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door, and people were very satisfied with Ma Si.
The old man opened the door in the heavy rain. Twenty or thirty people sit in sedan chairs and want to go into buddhist nun for shelter from the rain.
A beautiful young woman, assisted by several maids, got out of the car and walked into the hall. Old ni quickly moved over the sofa and respectfully asked her to sit down. After a while, the lady stood up and looked around. When she saw Asi, she was shocked at once.
It turned out that this lady turned out to be a childhood friend, and the two knew each other and cried.
After Zhang Weng's death, Zhang Sheng, egged on by his wife Mei Qing, took part in the imperial examination, and got good news one after another. After leaving Hanlin, he was appreciated by the emperor, and in a few years, he was already the third place. This time I went back to my hometown to visit my relatives and to transport my father's coffin to Beijing.
Axi was envious and regretful, and said, "The difference between the original ideas made you and me very different today!" Mei Qing said with a smile, "It's a good thing that you haven't got married after all this work. This is waiting for our reunion. "
After childhood, she ordered Axi to wear gorgeous clothes. After the rain stopped, she plunged into the sedan chair and went back to her home.
When Zhang Sheng learned of Axi's tragic experience, his reunion with his former dream lover made him feel sad.
A few days later, under the arrangement of childhood, they chose an auspicious day to get married.
Since then, Mei Qing has been respectful to Axi as usual, which makes Axi very nervous. When Zhang Mu saw this, he ordered the whole family to call them ladies.
Later, Zhang Sheng gave the nun two hundred and twenty pieces of silver to rebuild the Antang. The two women have children and their careers are thriving. He also wrote to the emperor about his family experience, and the court gave the Zhang family three wives at a time.
-This story comes from the seventh volume of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. As a fox, Mei Qing is unique among many foxes in Pu Songling's works, and has experienced all the sufferings of a girl.
In all kinds of hardships in life, Mei Qing persisted in his ideals and guarded kindness, and finally gained sweet love and a happy life with the beauty of adults.
Reading through the original works, it is not difficult to find that there is only one word that can make Mei Qing fall in love with the poor scholar Zhang Sheng at first sight, and then suffer for him, and that is filial piety.
As the saying goes, there is no dutiful son in front of the hospital bed, but Zhang Sheng has served his bedridden father for many years, which moved Mei Qing deeply and made him do everything for it. So childhood love for her husband includes more respect.
