There is a small market town near the river about 30 miles away from Meizhou, Sichuan, there are hundreds of families in the town, the goods of merchants are endless, people from all walks of life gather, and the business is very prosperous. There is an ancient temple on the river, which is still often manifested to this day, and it is said that it is the ancestral hall of Mrs. Fei of the flower stamen. In the vicinity of the temple, there is a large family called Zhong Shengyuan, the family is rich and benevolent, advocating etiquette and righteousness, and often hires famous teachers. Zhong Shengyuan's sister is also the daughter-in-law of a large family, and she has a son named Xie Lian, so he came to his uncle's house to study. Xie Lian was born with a handsome appearance, elegant demeanor, and no pedantic appearance like a poor scholar at all, everyone liked him very much, playing chess, drinking, and talking about poetry with him, I was afraid that Xie Lian would leave. At the back of the private school, the Zhong family built a particularly large garden, which has buildings such as Biyi Hall, Shuiyue Pavilion, Wanfang Pavilion, Zuichun Pavilion, and Cuiping Xuan. The quiet and elegant in the garden is what Xie Lian particularly likes, and he has been resting and staying here for nearly a whole month.
came to have a tryst with you, violated etiquette and did not hesitate to elope, and came to sleep for you alone. After speaking, I will ask Xie Lian to enjoy the joy of fish and water. Xie Lian jokingly asked her, "Those three sisters are in **?" Why are you alone? The girl said, "Wait for tomorrow night, and I will share the joy of the bed with my sisters." Then, casually recited a poem.
After a while, the moonlight faded, and the rooster crowed, and the woman got up with her clothes in her hand and said, "I'm going back!" Then he quietly left. The next night, Xie Lian opened the window and waited, and burned another pot of good incense. Sure enough, the girl and a person came, smiled and comforted Xie Lian and said, "That kind of joy last night, I hope to try it for my little sister too." Then he turned back to his sister and said, "You take good care of Lang Jun and be a good bride." Then he stepped out of the door and went back. Her sister and Xie Lian talked and laughed, became intimate, and shared the same bed with Xie Lian like her sister. My sister is witty and dexterous, and she can also compose poems, and she also made a poem for Xie Lian.
After chanting, the little sister said goodbye and walked back slowly. Xie Lian told her to come again. Xiaomei said: "Needless to say, I promise that I will not let Lang Jun sleep alone." That night, the eldest sister sent the third sister to the room. Xie Lian wanted both of them to stay, but the eldest sister excused herself and said, "After Lang Jun has been the groom four times, our sisters will sleep separately and repeat the cycle." Xie Lian immediately made love to the third sister and asked her for a psalm. The third sister replied: "I'm ashamed, I don't have Cao Zhi's talent for reciting poetry in seven steps, and I am not the opponent of the two sisters, how can I have this ability?" Xie Lian insisted, and the third sister recited.
After a while, the clouds and rain were over, the night was already very late, the third sister still had residual makeup, hairpins and sideburns, got up and straightened her sleeves, and said to Xie Lian: "The fourth sister will be Lang Jun's spouse tonight, our sisters can't all come, the eldest sister will send her here." At about the second watch that night, the fourth sister dressed in costume really came with her eldest sister, and Xie Lian made a husband and wife ceremony, swore an oath to the mountains and seas, secretly expressed her heartfelt feelings, and also made a close poem.
Since then, the four girls have been divided into two groups, taking turns to divide into two groups, and two of them will sleep with Xie Lian every night. Xie Lian privately thought that he was a scholar in cloth, and it was already very rare for him to have such an affair, let alone four girls. So he made a "Emei Ancient Meaning" to congratulate himself.
After the poem was written, Xie Lian passed it on to the girls. The girls passed on the tasting and praised it, thinking that it was a masterpiece that few people could sing and harmonize. Only the eldest sister was silent, and sighed for a long time: "The four of us are cousins, all girls in the boudoir, and they have not yet been married. I am only worried that the years will be difficult to stay, and the good time is easy to lose, and Lang Jun will inevitably marry a daughter-in-law, but we can't marry again. I want to weave brocade and send it to my husband, but we only have Su Ruolan's talent; I want to leave my soul and run away with my husband, but we don't have Zhang Qianniang's ability. I can only watch Luan Feng fly apart, Yan Hong say goodbye to each other, the hatred of the ages, the deep thoughts, and think carefully about today's joy, I am afraid it will become a catastrophe for him. When the three younger sisters heard this, they all sighed and sobbed and went back.
After more than a year, sure enough, Xie Lian's parents sent someone to invite Xie Lian back to complete the marriage. After the girls heard the news, they all came to say goodbye to Xie Lian and stayed in the study that night. Xie Lian made love to them one by one, and the rain and dew were wet. The sky was about to turn white, and the fourth sister said to Xie Lian: "The prophecy of the eldest sister in the past has been fulfilled today. According to the number of qi set by God, we still have a year to do. May we be as well together as the piano, and the couple be in harmony; There is no happiest thing in life that can surpass this moment. I hope that I deeply cherish those of us who come from humble backgrounds, and don't turn our backs easily. After Lang Jun got married, as long as it was convenient to come here to find us, we should still stand on tiptoe, look through our eyes, and wait for Lang Jun's return under Cuiping Xuan. Then he plucked a pair of golden hairpins as a parting gift. The other three sisters also took out Cuidian, silver bracelets, and earrings and gave them to them, saying, "When I go back, I will give them to your wife, and I will convey our deep affection a little." Then the four girls said goodbye to Xie Lian in tears. Xie Lian kept their gifts in a bookcase.
After Xie Lian arrived home, the wedding date had come. After getting married, although the family was very harmonious, he never stopped missing the four girls. After the full moon of marriage, his wife went back to her parents' house to say hello, Xie Lian couldn't sleep alone, and actually met the four girls in a dream, and they were happy as before. After the clouds and rain, the third sister got up and said, "I have been separated from Lang Jun for a long time, there is nothing to entertain, just let me dance back to the wind dance." So he raised his emerald clothes and danced his sleeves, even Zhao Feiyan's lightness and Gongsun's aunt's agility were not enough to compare with the wonder of her dancing. After dancing, the eldest sister composed "Song of the Returning Wind".
The second sister also said to the fourth sister: "Singing and dancing are enough to comfort our abandoned grievances." What should you and I do? So he took out a jade flute and handed it to her: "The fourth sister is good at this, don't be stingy with your skills." Wouldn't it be nice for me to sing to your tune? The fourth sister happily said, "This is great! So the two of them played it three times calmly, and the sound of the flute was quiet and harmonious, tactful and delicate, resentful and silent, just like the night dew makes the cicada feel cold, just like the autumn clouds riding the fresh wind straight into the blue sky. The second sister also frowned, singing Ying He, singing three times.
Xie Lian was listening quietly, when suddenly the bell and drum rhyme came, he pushed away the pillow, got up and stretched, it turned out to be a sweet dream. He could recall the words and songs in his dreams, so he copied them from memory. Xie Lian was always worried about these four girls, so he pretended to finish his studies and go to his uncle's house to study. The four girls were glad that Xie Lian was back and loved and cared for her more than usual. Xie Lian told them about the dream, and the girl said: "This is the deep longing of the couple, and it is reflected in the dream, which is not surprising." Xie Lian cherished these four girls, and only stayed in the study for more than half a month, and did not meet his uncle. The uncle was suspicious of his whereabouts and wanted to see what his nephew was doing, so he secretly came to the garden one night. I saw Xie Lian and the girls admiring the moon, laughing and laughing. The uncle hurried in to call his nephew, and the girls suddenly fled in shock. The uncle immediately questioned Xie Lian strictly, but Xie Lian still refused to give details. His uncle said to his wife: "The back garden is wide and has many flowers and trees, and even if there is no demon of the flower moon, there are monsters of water stones. Xie Lian is very handsome and personable, won't he be confused by monsters? It's better to send him home quickly, for fear that he will get sick after a long time. So he ordered the servant to send Xie Lian home.
After Xie Lian arrived home, because he missed the girl, in less than half a year, he was seriously ill, his expression was in a trance, he spoke intermittently, and lay on the bed dying, unable to heal for a long time. Zhong Shengyuan personally went to visit his nephew, and at the same time told Xie Lian's parents all about the moon viewing in the garden. His father asked again and again, and Xie Lian confided the truth, and took out the poems and gold hairpins and other items he got to show his father, it turned out that they were all muddy. His father knew that his son had suffered from the scourge of demons, so he went to the garden with Zhong Shengyuan to investigate, but found no trace, so he went to the Flower Stamen Temple to ask for a lot. When they passed a small room in the inaccessible east corridor, they found that the tent was covered, and when the tent was opened, the tablet read "The Position of the Goddess of Wushan", and there were clay statues of four beautiful women, and one of the people sitting on the east side was missing a pair of sideburns, two bracelets were missing from the arms of the two people on the right, a pair of earrings were missing from the ears, and two flowers fell off the face of the person on the left. Xie Lian's father was very panicked, took out the mud items, and put them back one by one, all of which matched. He then smashed the statues of the four beauties with his hands, and ordered the servants to sink them all into the river and go home. After more than a month after that, Xie Lian's illness recovered, and the strange ghost has disappeared since then.
