Xue Huairen is the only son of the Xue family in Luoning County, Luoyang Prefecture, the Xue family has a lot of wealth, many fields, many shops, and herds of cattle and sheep. Xue Huairen has a long figure, a face like a crown of jade, handsome and chic, is the male god in the minds of all girls, at the age of seventeen, there are countless people who come to the door to propose marriage, each of them is either rich or expensive, and the daughter is also the fragrance of the country, but Xue Huairen was unmoved.
Until he was eighteen years old, he met Su Xiaowan in a restaurant called "Drunken Fairy", this Su Xiaowan is not a lady, just a woman who sells songs.
Su Xiaowan, a native of Yuhang, Jiangnan, was born in a wealthy family, and later lived in Luoyang because of her family's downfall, and made a living by singing.
Xue Huairen's good friend Wang Wencai learned that there was a Jiangnan singer in Zuixianlou, with a beautiful appearance and a pleasant voice, so he took Xue Huairen to a ** event.
Xue Huairen was not interested in this, but he couldn't stand Wang Wencai's stubborn fighting, so he followed, and the moment he saw Su Xiaowan, he was like a demon, and he was restless, such a woman was simply the woman he had been thinking about for a long time!Just to his taste.
When Wang Wencai saw him, his eyes stared directly at Su Xiaowan, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xue, could it be that you fell in love with this girl at first sight?"If you want, I can be a matchmaker for you!”
Xue Huairen's voice sounded: "Fate is here, I've been waiting for a long time!."”
With Wang Wencai's help, Xue Huairen and Su Xiaowan met privately, and Su Xiaowan seemed to have a good impression of him, so the two decided to get married.
When Master Xue learned that his son had fallen in love with a singer, he was immediately furious and scolded: "The son of the Xue family, educated, but so ignorant, such a woman is also worthy of our Xue family, you will soon give her a break!."”
Mrs. Xue also said: "You look at the identity of the Xue family, what kind of woman do you want, why do you have to pick a dusty woman, you are ruining the reputation of my Xue family." ”
Xue Huairen suddenly spoke: "Although Su Xiaowan is just a singer, she is from a famous family, this is not the point, the point is that she has good conduct and sincere feelings, she is the lover in my heart, she must be!"If you stop me, I will never marry a wife in my life!”
In order to sever the connection between his son and Su Xiaowan, Xue Yuanwai took extreme measures, not only forbidding her to go out, but also placing her under house arrest at home. Xue Huairen used a hunger strike to express his dissatisfaction. For several days, he did not eat a drop of water, and he was forced to faint. Xue Yuanwai and his wife were moved and changed their original thoughts.
Xue Yuanwai agreed that his son would marry Su Xiaowan as his wife, but insisted that Su Xiaowan could only be a concubine, and the main room must be a woman with the right family. Xue Huairen said resolutely, he only marries one wife in this life, and does not accept concubines, which must be Su Xiaowan!
Xue Yuanwai and his wife are only children, and their hearts are dripping blood. In the end, I couldn't resist my son's insistence, so I had to agree to Su Xiaowan's marriage.
Xue Huairen married Su Xiaowan, but Xue Yuanwai and his wife did not appreciate it, they were kind on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were full of difficulties, saying that she was climbing the dragon and the phoenix, and she didn't know how to lift, so she wanted her to act carefully, and not to fall into the prestige of the Xue family.
Su Xiaowan knew very well what her in-laws thought, but she didn't want to embarrass Xue Huairen, nor did she complain to him, she just endured it silently and served her best.
Xue Yuanwai's husband and wife's biggest wish is to hug their grandson one day earlier, but it's a pity that Xue Huairen and Su Xiaowan have been married for several years, but Su Xiaowan has not moved, and Xue Yuanwai and his wife have become more and more disgusted with her, thinking that she is an unfilial daughter.
Xue Yuanwai gave Xue Huairen a final order, if Su Xiaowan is not pregnant with a child within a year, she must marry another wife, otherwise she will cut off the father-son relationship with him. In order to keep Su Xiaowan's position, Xue Huairen looked for Langzhong everywhere and looked for a prescription, wanting to make Su Xiaowan pregnant, but a year later, Su Xiaowan still didn't move at all, which made him very depressed.
One day, he went out alone to relax, and when he walked to the western outskirts of the city, he passed a small bridge, and saw on the bridge a ragged old man named Hanako, who was dressed in tattered clothes.
When the old beggar saw it, he said, "This lord, you have a very good heart, can you lend me a little silver and let me eat something?"I haven't eaten anything for the past few days, and I'm dying of hunger. ”
Xue Huairen was in a bad mood and didn't want to deal with him, but seeing that his legs were covered with blood, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured, he moved his heart of compassion, took out a few coppers, and said, "Take it and buy something to eat!."”
The old beggar refused, saying, "My leg is seriously injured and I can't walk, you can buy me a steamed bun!"”
Xue Huairen saw that he was pitiful, so he ran to the bun shop next to him and bought him a few.
Xue Huairen was about to leave, but Lao Minghua spoke again: "This son, you are really good, please do me another favor and send me to the hospital to see my legs, otherwise my life will be gone." ”
Xue Huairen looked at the old beggar in front of him and only felt that he was insatiable. But looking at his pitiful appearance, his heart softened again. So, he found a carriage on the side of the road and took Lao Zhaohua to the hospital. In order to express his gratitude, he also rewarded Lang Zhong with a few taels of silver, and left in a hurry.
Xue Huairen had just walked a few steps when he heard an old man called Huazi behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the old man was running wildly. One second he said that his leg hurt to death, and the next second he was like a person who had nothing to do, jumping around. Xue Huairen felt that the other party might be joking, and he didn't bother to argue with him, so he sped up and walked forward.
He chased after him and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with my leg. I'm testing your mind, and if you can get through it, I can tell you a secret. ”
Xue Huairen became anxious when he heard this, "If you want money, just say it, don't hide it from me." As he spoke, he took out a few coppers, "It's bad luck to meet you today!."”
Lao Zhaohua shook his head, and did not accept the copper coin, but said seriously: "This is a secret about your child, if you don't listen, you will regret it!."”
Xue Huairen ignored him and walked on his own. After walking for a while, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he turned to Hanako, hoping that he would tell him the secret about his child.
The old beggar said: "It's hard to say, let's find a place to be quiet first, and I'll tell you slowly!."
Xue Huairen was very interested in the secret told by the old beggar, so the two went to a nearby teahouse together. In a small box, the old beggar told Xue Huairen the secret.
Xue Huairen originally didn't believe in such a thing as reincarnation, but listening to what the old beggar said made him a little suspicious. Perhaps, this is the truth.
The old name Hanako said: "The two husbands and wives have not had children for many years, all because of the unsolved problems in their previous lives. It is rumored that there is a deserted house in the west of the city, and a peony is said to have a history of 1,000 years. You have to go to that tree and lay down the cause and effect of the previous life, so that you can cut off the bonds of the previous life, so that you can have a future as a couple. ”
After the separation, Xue Huairen had been thinking about the old beggar's words, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not.
This mansion was originally the residence of a general. Later, General Zuo moved to the capital, and the mansion was abandoned. Some people say that there will be women crying at night, so no one dares to come.
Xue Huairen thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to do what the old beggar said. He pretended to go to the capital to do business, but in fact he went to the descendants of General Zuo to buy a house.
After several inquiries, I found the descendants of General Zuo. I paid a lot of money to buy the old house. It can be seen that he doesn't have much affection for that old house.
After Xue Huairen bought this old house, he couldn't wait to rush over, but he didn't expect that it was a mess inside, overgrown with weeds, and it was quite gloomy. However, to his surprise, the peonies in the backyard were still standing tall and blooming with colorful flowers.
Xue Huairen would come to the old mansion every day, just for fear of being discovered by the people in the family. He cleaned up the house himself, weeded and watered and fertilized the peony trees. More than a month has passed, and the old house has taken on a new look.
When the old house was cleaned, it was the night of the full moon. On this day, Xue Huairen brought some good wine and food, and at the stone table under the peony tree, he drank wine and looked at the blooming flowers.
As the night deepened, Xue Huairen's alcohol consumption was not good, and after a few glasses of wine, he felt a trace of drunkenness. He leaned against the stone table, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he was about to fall asleep, but he was shivered by a cold wind, and suddenly sobered up a lot.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a petal falling. Among the petals, a woman in white stood. Her face is peerless, and her green silk is like a waterfall. Xue Huairen looked at the woman in front of him, and always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. He couldn't help but froze.
The woman looked at Xue Huairen, her eyes full of sadness and helplessness. She slowly walked to the stone table and sat opposite Xue Huairen. Suddenly, Xue Huairen remembered the words of the old beggar before, could this woman be the love of his last life?But he forgot all about it.
He hurriedly picked up a wine glass and carefully filled it for the woman. However, the woman did not drink it immediately, but said softly: "It's been a thousand years, and I've finally waited for you!."Xue Huairen felt a sense of fear, and his heart beat uncontrollably.
The woman said gloomily: "You promised me to see me here, and we will be together forever." I've been waiting for you for a long time, I've been waiting too long......”
The story goes back to the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil. Not far from Luoyang Mansion, there lived a man named Zuo Dakui, who was tall and powerful, and had excellent martial arts. He led a group of heroes to rise up and made great contributions to support the new emperor.
The emperor admired his merits and decided to give him the highest honor. was even named a general, and even married his sister to him. What a privilege it is to be a courtier!This is a marriage that many people dream of, but in Zuo Dakui's opinion, it is a little difficult.
It turned out that Zuo Dakui had a confidante named Liu Qiaoyun, who was from a humble background and was trafficked into the Qinglou, and his fate changed greatly. One day, a seriously injured man broke into her boudoir, it was Zuo Dakui, who was bent on pacifying the world, who was chased and killed by the enemy at that time, and he hid under Liu Qiaoyun's bed for the night, and survived.
Zuo Dakui sympathized with Liu Qiaoyun's experience, and was moved by her kindness, and made a promise that after he became famous, he would marry her and let her live a happy life.
Ten years have passed, the world is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, Zuo Dakui has also become a feudal official, he did not forget the original promise, built a big house in his hometown, ransomed Liu Qiaoyun, got married, and planted a peony with his own hands, as a witness.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Zuo Dakui entered Beijing, and the emperor wanted to marry his sister to Zuo Dakui, what a grace this is, if Zuo Dakui doesn't agree, it is a big rebellion, it is a capital crime, if he agrees, it is unfaithful to his beloved Liu Qiaoyun.
Zuo Dakui had no choice but to accept the emperor's will and marry the princess, but Liu Qiaoyun was the only one in his heart, so he kept it a secret, not wanting the second daughter to know the existence of the other party.
However, this matter was finally discovered by the princess, she felt very embarrassed, so she sued Zuo Dakui to the emperor, and when the emperor heard it, he was furious and put Zuo Dakui in prison for the crime of bullying the king.
The princess was very angry, but she couldn't bear to see him die, so she went to beg the emperor, who read her kindness and spared his life, but asked him to go back and break off Liu Qiaoyun before he could come back as a concubine.
Zuo Dakui returned home and talked to Liu Qiaoyun about it, the two hugged their heads and cried, Zuo Dakui said: "I only love you in my life, but the emperor's order, I can't disobey ......."”
Liu Qiaoyun said: "Xianggong doesn't have to be sad, you divorced me, I don't blame you, we have no chance in this life, see you in the next life!."As she spoke, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into Zuo Dakui's arms.
Liu Qiaoyun understood that her fate was doomed, and she didn't want to involve her husband Zuo Dakui, so she had to choose to commit suicide. She stabbed her own throat with a sharp hosta, and blood stained her clothes red. When Zuo Dakui arrived, he saw her lying on the bed, her eyes full of helplessness and reluctance.
He wanted to call someone for help, but Liu Qiaoyun took his hand and said softly: "It's too late, Xianggong, I can't accompany you anymore......."She pointed to the peony flowers blooming outside the window and said, "Xianggong, you bury me under the peony flowers, I will wait for you there, and we will meet again in the next life!"With that, she broke off.
Zuo Dakui was grief-stricken, he hugged Liu Qiaoyun's body and cried loudly, but he couldn't save her life. According to her last wishes, he buried her under the peony flower, and then left here, returned to the capital, and never returned to this mansion again.
After Liu Qiaoyun died, her soul did not leave, she has been guarding under the peony flowers, waiting for Zuo Dakui's return. However, when Zuo Dakui died decades later, he forgot her existence, and he drank Meng Po soup at Naihe Bridge, and he lost the memory of his previous life and was reincarnated.
When Liu Qiaoyun heard the news, her heart was like a knife, she wanted to go to him, but she was trapped by this house and couldn't take a step. She could only cry under the peony flowers, telling her grievances and thoughts, and her crying alarmed the people around her, who all said that this place was haunted and did not dare to approach.
Liu Qiaoyun longed for someone to help her, so that she could meet Zuo Dakui, she prayed day and night, and finally ushered in an old man on a stormy night.
This old man is not an ordinary person, he is a Taoist who has been cultivating for many years, he came to this house because he was sheltered from the rain, and when he heard Liu Qiaoyun's cry in the middle of the night, he used a spell to catch her. Liu Qiaoyun saw the old man, not only was she not afraid, but she was very happy, she told the old man her story, the old man was very emotional when he heard it, and said: "The love is shallow, the hatred is endless, and this hatred is endless......."He decided to help Liu Qiaoyun free herself so that she could reunite with Zuo Dakui.
After Liu Qiaoyun said this, Xue Huairen cried, and he sighed: "Such a girl who values love and righteousness, General Zuo can have you, it is really a blessing for three lives, but it's a pity that you have a fate with him, but you still have to guard him for a thousand years, it's really not easy!."”
Liu Qiaoyun stood up, looked at Xue Huairen with teary eyes, and said, "I am very satisfied to see you again, and the wish of this life can finally come true." ”
Xue Huairen knew that his predecessor was Zuo Dakui, so he also stood up and said to Liu Qiaoyun: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." ”
Liu Qiaoyun smiled slightly: "It's no wonder you, I will leave first, if there is fate, we will have a period later." ”
Xue Huairen reached out to grab it, but he didn't catch anything, he could only see her disappear into the night......
The next day, Xue Huairen woke up and found himself lying on a peony tree, covered with colorful petals, full of fragrance, everything that happened last night was like a dream.
Since then, the huge mansion has been quiet, no one cries in the middle of the night, and the people nearby are surprised, and later learned that it was the son of the Xue family who bought this mansion, saying that it was blessed, and the ghosts did not dare to provoke.
A year later, Xue Huairen's wife Su Xiaowan gave birth to a pair of twins, and the Xue family was very happy, but the little girl kept crying, and no one could calm her down.
Just when everyone was at a loss, an old Taoist came over, held the child in his arms, and said: "The two of them owe each other in the previous life, and they can't see each other in this life, and when they see each other in this life, they will definitely owe in the previous life." Xue Huairen was said by the old way, so he named his daughter Xue Qiaoyun.
The two children are as beautiful as flowers, smart and clever, and they are deeply favored by Xue Yuanwai and her husband, and they also look at their daughter-in-law Su Xiaowan differently, and accept this daughter-in-law from the bottom of their hearts.
Xue Huairen and Su Xiaowan have a total of four sons and a daughter, each of whom is rich and noble, and their daughter has become a generation of empresses, loving husband and wife, and living a happy life.
