The mystery of Liang Zhu's reincarnation

When Chuhe became the magistrate of Fengnan County, it was the time when the country was rich and the people were safe. One day, Chuhe was reading in the mansion, and his good friend Min Yuan visited. Min Yuan is a classmate of Chuhe in Fengnan County. This time, I heard that Chuhe was a magistrate of a county, so I came to visit. Old friends met again, poured wine and chatted happily.

Chatting, Min Yuan suddenly asked, "Brother Chu, do you believe that people will become butterflies after death?"

Chu River was asked one leng, and smiled, but I heard that there are legends of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in the world.

Min Yuan said: "This legend has been repeated in the local area. Brother Chu hasn't heard of it? "

Chuhe shook his head: "I'm new here. I have never heard of it. "

Min Yuan quickly told this anecdote to Chuhe: A scholar named Li Zong in Fengnan met Luo Shuqing disguised as a man on his way out to college. They became friends as soon as they met, and then they went to the Confucius Institute together. In the academy, the two get along day and night, and their feelings are getting deeper and deeper. Later, after Shuqing came home, Li Zong's proposal to Luo Jia was rejected, so he fell ill and died. Shu Qing was heartbroken when she heard that Li Zong died for herself. Luo Jia betrothed Shu Qing to Yang Zhifu's son. Soon, Yang Jialai married her, and Shu Qing was forced into the sedan chair with tears in her eyes. At the tomb of Li Zong, Shu Qing insisted on getting off the sedan chair and cried and worshipped me. The sparrow lowered its head and answered slowly, "Tell the bird king that I have something to do on the road and delayed my time!" " The tomb of Ling suddenly opened and swallowed Luo Shuqing. Then, two butterflies suddenly flew out of the grave, and they walked together, even like Liang Zhu. ...

Chu river one leng, ask this is not the same as the story of Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai? He has been familiar with poetry books since he was a child and never believes in ghosts and gods. Liang Zhu's story is just a legend. Hearing Min Yuan's words, he couldn't help frowning and asked, Early the next morning, the old fisherman built a shed on the top of the thatched mountain and hung his seal in the shed. The sea around Maocaogang suddenly calmed down. Fishermen found this good place and came to settle down one after another, and Maocaogang became a fire. "Did anyone see this with their own eyes?" Min Yuan said: "The people who got married that day did see it. So the facts are bizarre, so it spreads quickly. "

Chuhe asked about the background of these two families. Min Yuan said, "This Li Zongjia is not a big family or a scholarly family. His father is a famous carpenter in Fengnan county, and his craftsmanship is outstanding. It is said that he has Luban's ability. This is indeed different from Liang Shanbo of the scholarly family. "

Chu he asked Luo Shuqing's life story again. Min Yuan said that Luo Shuqing had a good family and his father Luo Yuande was the owner of a large family. At that time, he took a fancy to the son of Yang county magistrate, regardless of the opposition of his daughter Luo Shuqing. In addition, during the war, many officials and ordinary people often died in cities and villages because of defeat. In this martyred city, all the thieves are pale and terrified. There are many cases of collective suicide, and there are also many governments. For example, after Li Zicheng captured Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan Park, many ministers claimed that the martyr's wife and daughter died together and directed the tragedy of "Shen Jia's martyrdom". In, after Yangzhou city was captured by Qing soldiers, many officials, doctors, sailors and Confucians at that time died in the city, and many people died in the government. After the fall of Jiangdu City, more people died for the city, and they were known as "Jiangdu Lie" and "Sun Men Jie Lie" in the government. Betrothed to him, the story of later becoming a butterfly.

Chuhe was very angry and complained that the Luo family should not be too poor and love the rich, which ruined the marriage.

Min Yuan also said that this magistrate Yang had a bad reputation, and presumably Miss Luo would not be happy if she really married in the past.

Chuhe was very curious at the thought of becoming a butterfly, so Cai said with a smile, "Even the Qiongge in Xianshan is tired of coming here every day, not to mention the ordinary lotus pond, which has such a great attraction to you? I don't believe it. " It turns out that this woman surnamed Chen is the daughter of a wealthy businessman. The rich businessman has a lot of money, but his son is unfortunate. He only gave birth to a daughter, and now his face is pockmarked. My mother blamed herself for seeing her daughter infected with smallpox and loved her very much. She died last year. Yuan said that he wanted to visit the Confucius Institute where Luo Shuqing studied.

Second, Confucius Institute.

The Confucius Institute is seven or eight miles away from Fengnan County, and it took the Chuhe couple half a day to get there. The college is managed by an old man named Mo, who is a teacher with Luo Shuqing. At this time, some scholars who failed last year are still studying in the academy, many of whom are classmates of Li Zong and Luo Shuqing.

When he mentioned Luo Shuqing, Mr. Mo was deeply moved because their stories had already spread all over the Confucius Institute. Mr. Mo told Chuhe that he came to study in Confucius Institute last year and stayed there for half a year. They were inseparable when they were at the police academy. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be lovers.

Chu He asked, "What does this Li Zong look like?" Mr. Mo said: "The appearance can only be said to be average, and the skin is slightly dark, which is a bit like a cultivator." Chuhe asked again, "How did Li Zong learn?" Mr. Mo said: "He is not talented, but he is not a talented person either. He usually recites poems slowly, but if he is given enough time, the articles he takes out will be ok. "

"What about Luo Shuqing?" Teacher Mo said that Luo Shuqing is very talented, although not very showy. She has always liked peach blossoms and wrote many poems about them. I have another pair here. Chuhe hates her more and more. The sea is so cruel. I don't know how many people will like her. So she stopped, picked up the stones in the mountains, turned and flew to the sea, threw the stones into the boundless sea, and vowed never to go home until the sea was filled up. I asked him if he could show it to him. After a while, a student took out a piece of rice paper with a poem written on it. When Chuhe saw it, it was really beautiful and literary.

Mr. Mo sighed, but later I heard that she was a woman. If it is a man, it will be the first.

In a short time, some people in the college who knew Li Zong also stood out.

Chu he asked them, "You have been classmates with Luo Shuqing for half a year. Did you find out that she is a woman? " A scholar named Gongsun Yan said that he doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he is a little shy and looks like a woman. Some people think that he is white and clean, has no beard, and has a Zhu Shazhi between his eyebrows. Joke with him about being husband and wife. Luo Shuqing dodged this kind of joke very sensitively.

A scholar said: "This Luo Shuqing's whereabouts are also very strange. His clothes are always tight, even in summer. According to the regulations of our college, they are in the same room, so he and Li Zong share a room. I have never seen him go to the toilet, take a shower or even wash his face on weekdays. "

But all this is strange. One winter night in Luo Shuqing's Woman, Lao Zhang invited his great-grandfather to drink. Two people had a good time drinking, and both of them were a little drunk. At this moment, Lao Zhang suddenly said to Grandpa, Brother, you are a good man and an honest man. I have lived in the mountains for so many years, and you have taken care of our family. I know you want to know me, but there are many little people in the world. I came to your place to take refuge because I was afraid of disaster. For more than ten years, we have been good relatives for more than ten years. Today, brother, I want to tell you something. In case I die that day, no one in the world will know me. It's not hard to explain after the identity is exposed.

On the carriage back to Fengnan, Chu River said that Li Zong was not outstanding in his studies and his appearance was average, but how did he win Luo Shuqing's heart? Min Yuan said that they met on the way to school. Luo Shuqing, female, lives in seclusion on weekdays. When she first met a young man, she had a good impression, probably because of Li Zong's preconceptions.

Chuhe shook his head and said the question in his heart: "Li Zongruo and Luo Shuqing are in the same room. Don't you find that Luo Shuqing is a woman?" Is there something hidden in this? "

Three. Li Zongzhi's tomb

The Li family is in Liangzhuang, Fengnan County. Li Zong's father Li Shiqiong, at first glance, is an honest craftsman. When I heard that Grandpa County was coming, I couldn't use my hands and feet.

Chuhe told him not to be nervous, saying that he just heard the story of Li Zong and came to see it. The Li family has three brick houses. Mr. and Mrs. Chuhe walked around the house and saw many unfinished woodwork in the room, all of which were wonderful, showing that Li Shiqiong had extraordinary craftsmanship.

Chu River asked, "As the saying goes, you can't starve craftsmen in famine years. Your carpentry skills are among the best, enough to feed a family. Why did Li Zong go to school instead of carpentry? "

Li Shiqiong sighed and said, "My son loved reading since he was a child, but he refused to teach him carpentry. He only cares about reading. Later, I felt that reading can achieve fame, and I agreed without working for a living like me. "

Suddenly, Chuhe found a middle-aged man burning incense in the hall. He asked, "Is this your father?" Li Shiqiong was shocked and said, "I have been an orphan since I was a child. I don't remember what my parents were like. This man is my benefactor Chun Yu Kun. "

Chuhe couldn't help praising: "You are a sentient and righteous person." Li Shiqiong said: "Without benefactors, I wouldn't be where I am today. I fell ill in the street that day and was penniless. It was the benefactor of Chunyu who cured me of my illness and introduced me to do some woodworking business. Later, I gradually became famous in the local area with my skills, earned some money, and finally got married and had children. "

After a while, Chuhe offered to visit Li Zong's tomb, but Li Shiqiong didn't dare to answer, and hurried with them. The cemetery is not far from Li's home. I saw a tombstone in front of the grave, which read the tomb of Li Zongzhi. Chuhe asked Min Yuan to buy some paper money to burn in front of the grave. I didn't know that Li Shiqiong waved his hand so hard that he couldn't even speak. When Chu He asked him why, Li Shiqiong said, "The son of a dog is humble, why should he condescend to light incense? This really makes me unbearable. " Chuhe only said it was a little respect, but Li Shiqiong refused, so they had to give up and get up and leave.

On the way back, Min Yuan was puzzled: "When you were going to burn paper money, Li Shiqiong's nervous appearance was somewhat exaggerated. Did you really kill him? " Chu River pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's not that simple."

Fourth, Laurence's daughter.

The Luo family looks like a big family, a big yard and a bunch of servants. Luo Shuqing's father, Luo Yuande, is a famous local rich man. Understandably, when it is not famous, it is inevitable that the marriage proposal to Luo Jia will be rejected. However, Luo Yuande seems to be a reasonable person. When she mentioned her daughter Luo Shuqing, Luo Yuande burst into tears: "I really regret sending her to the Confucius Institute!" His words revealed a little resentment against Li Zong. If Li Zong hadn't died halfway, I'm afraid he would have been the magistrate's in-laws.

However, when it comes to her daughter Luo Shuqing, Luo Yuande looks proud. Shuqing will not only shine, but also make friends and relatives shout. The sedan chair came slowly, and the drums sounded, which made my father cry. She is good at writing poems and songs, and her embroidery is lifelike. When Chuhe asked to see it, Luo Yuande's wife took out a dozen silk handkerchiefs embroidered with peony and plum blossoms, which was really wonderful.

When Chuhe took the handkerchief, he glanced at Luo Yuande's wife. Luo Yuande hurriedly said that he forgot to introduce it to adults. This is the surname of Chunyu in my wife. Hearing this surname, Chuhe immediately remembered Li Jiagong's teacher Chunyu Kun and asked, "Do you know Chunyu Kun?" Chunyu's family replied, "Chunyu Kun is my brother."

Min yuan asked, "listen to the accent. Is your wife from Pingchao Township of this county? " Busy spring rain nodded.

Chuhe suddenly remembered something and asked, "Miss, do you have Zhu Shazhi between your eyes?" Luo Yuande nodded: "Zhu Shazhi is my daughter's characteristic. How do adults know? "

Not long after leaving Luo Jia, Min Yuan rushed to Pingchao to inquire about a family named Chunyu. Later, after many twists and turns, he found the only family in the village called Chunyu. When he saw the big plaque at the gate of Chunyu House, he couldn't see anyone. Min-yuan quickly asked her neighbors about the whereabouts of the spring rain. A neighbor named Aunt Zhang said that Chunyu's grandfather died of illness last year, and his son Chunyuxiu entered school this year.

Chu asked Zhang Er menstruation if he could tell her the details of Chunyu's son. Aunt Zhang Er said that Chunyu's son was very handsome, talented and courageous. This high school really deserves it.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Legend or Truth?

When they came to Luojia again, Chuhe found that Luojia's servants were much less. Opposite Tianjiatai in Zhangjiajie, there are two natural peaks. These two mountains are very strange. One is like a man, and the other is like a woman. Their heads are next to their heads, and their bodies lean upward. They have noses, eyes, hair, lips and even eyebrows and teeth. They stand on the high mountain, love each other, wait for each other and never part. It is said that the lotus flower in Huaxian Mountain and the beekeeper Tian Hualang went through all kinds of hardships and died several times before they finally turned into it. But Luo Yuande is as polite as ever.

As soon as Chuhe gave up, he said straight away, "Brother Luo, can you listen to me tell a story? Maybe it has something to do with your family. "

Luo Yuande one leng, nodded.

So Chuhe told the story.

Luo Shuqing, the young lady of Luojiazhuang, is both talented and beautiful. Since childhood, she has been engaged to her cousin Chunyuxiu for life. However, something unexpected happened. On that day, Yang Zhifu and his son Yang visited the mansion. When Yang met Miss Luo, she fell in love at first sight and sent someone to propose to Zhu Fu. Yang's family is very powerful, and Yang Zhifu is a ruthless man. Laurence family can't refuse. If they elope, they will certainly offend the Yang family.

So they came up with a plan overnight, borrowing the story of Liang Zhu, pretending to answer Yang's first, and then assuming that the young lady would go to the Confucius Institute to study and come back six months later before she could get married, and Yang agreed.

In fact, Miss Shu Qing has never been to the Confucius Institute, but has been hidden. Going to Confucius Institute is Shu Qing's cousin Chun Yu Xiu. Because neither of them has a portrait, under the investigation, all appearances can only be described orally. Shen Zhou lost the most obvious original "Fuchun Shan Jutu", like a stone sinking into the sea, for a long time no news. Later, it was collected by Dong Qichang, Fan Shun and Tan Zhiyi, great painters of Ming Dynasty. Dong Qichang, a great painter, made a key event for this painting because of his hard life. He pawned it to the rich Wu, but he could not redeem it for life. Fuchun is split in two today, that is, this madman who is fascinated by painting is the first generation handed down by Dong Qichang's minion Wu. On his deathbed, he was too weak to stare at the treasure box by the pillow. The family understands that before the master died, he was still obsessed with his beloved landscape painting. Someone took out a painting and unfolded it in front of him. Wu Wenqing's eyes rolled out two lines of turbid tears. After a long time, he struggled to spit out two words: burn. Say that finish, slowly closed his eyes. Everyone present was stunned. Because Master cherishes Fuchun Shan Jutu too much, this is a burning painting for human sacrifice! There is one between Zheng's eyebrows, as long as there is one between Chun Yu's eyebrows. In addition, the spring rain show was born in vain, like a woman. They are cousins, but they are somewhat similar, so it is easy to get away with it.

Luo Yuande heard that, and his face was a little livid.

Chun Yu Xiu's father Chunyu Kun is very kind to Li Shiqiong's family. In order to repay his kindness, Li Shiqiong asked his son Li Zong to accompany Chun to the Confucius Institute. Suppose he met halfway and then married for life. In fact, Li Zong is not a scholar at all.

Six months later, Li Zong came back to propose marriage, but Shuqing's father pretended to refuse. Li Zong "died of illness". All this completely conforms to the legend of Liang Zhu.

Li Zong's tomb was originally made of wood. There is no problem with the craftsmanship of the Li family to make such a tomb. On Shu Qing's wedding day, she deliberately passed by Li Zong's tomb. Li Zong was in the grave at that time. When she saw Miss Luo coming, she pressed the switch and the tomb opened automatically. Miss Luo was admitted, and since then, she has gone up in smoke. Then release the two butterflies caught in advance and seal the tomb. I thought the tortoise turned and hit Zhang Shusheng, and Zhang Shusheng was knocked away. At the moment when Wen Gongzi was distracted, turtle essence actually bit his arm. Wen Gongzi screamed in pain, and swarms of mosquitoes flew frantically towards the turtle essence overhead. I only heard the turtle whisper, "plop" and fell to the ground, never getting up again. In fact, people who saw this scene and saw the farewell party spread all over the world. Because of the legend, the Yang family will not pursue this matter.

Luo Yuande said nervously, this is not the story of my family.

Chu He said that everything has flaws. Men and women are different. Women disguised as men, especially beautiful women, can be seen anyway. Liang Zhu's story is just a legend. This story is so in line with the legend of Liang Zhu that I was skeptical at first.

Li Zong is not a scholar. When I went to the Li family, I didn't find a study in the Li family, nor did I see any books. According to my classmates, Li Zong is slow and not good at reciting poems on the spot, but the article is well written. Give me three to five days, and I'm sure I can write a good article. But can the article published in three or five days prove that it was written by Li Zong? Maybe it was written by Chunyuxiu!

In addition, the Li family provided their benefactor, which shows that the Li family is a formal person. Their son is dead, so why not provide a memorial tablet? This shows that they may not be dead at all.

Chu He went on to say, I heard from Confucius Institute that Teacher Luo likes peach blossoms and wrote many songs about them. But in the embroidery that your family showed me, it was all plum blossoms and peonies. I have never seen peach blossoms. Aren't they the same person? I heard from their old friends in the academy that Luo Shuqing didn't let anyone see him go to the toilet, take a bath or even wash his face, and he didn't let outsiders see him, which made people puzzled. You can imagine there must be something hidden. The hidden story is that if he washes his face in public, Zhu Shazhi between his eyebrows will be washed away!

Li Shiqiong was nervous when he saw that Chu and he were going to burn paper money on the grave that day. Chu he went to dig out the upper eluvial soil again. Sure enough, he found that the tomb was made of wood, and Li Zong's father was a carpenter. It is very possible to build an organ grave.

He heard about Chunyuxiu from Aunt Zhang. Last year, Chunyuxiu didn't show up for several months. That time, Luo Shuqing went to Confucius Institute. When Miss Luo went to Chunyuxiu, she was seen by Aunt Zhang several times.

Luo Yuande, who was already ashen, muttered to himself, "That's because on this day, Shan Li and Li Hua went to a restaurant near Xiangjing for dinner at the same time, and both of them spoke at the same time:" Small ones, two beef pots and wine bowls, and Huimian Noodles. "Why do you want to make up the legend of butterflies? This is the most incredible. Is everything the same as the legend of Liang Zhu? "

Chu He said: "We talked about their double suicide for a while, and Lu Degui changed the subject and said that he wanted to lend some money to Deng Qiusheng. A few days ago, Deng Qiusheng spent all his savings to treat his wife. Now Lu Degui is suddenly willing to lend him money. He couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised and immediately asked Lu Degui how much money he was willing to lend him. Lu Degui said, "I am willing to lend you one hundred and twenty pieces of silver! "Yu Peng, in the future, if there is a dried dragon, just say," Little girl, please step out of your upper body. " The girl pointed to the distant mountain and said, "The mountain is covered with clear clouds and there is no ink painting." Ganlong smiled.

I blurted out: "Bamboo knocks on autumn rain, and sounds like poetry." People will be suspicious when they open the museum and find that there are no bodies in the tomb. If they become butterflies, they naturally have no bodies. Rogo really means well. "

Luo Yuande fell to his knees and pleaded, "Master Chu, I have to do this because I have to do it. I hope that Master Chu will be fulfilled! "

Chuhe hurriedly lifted him up with his hand and said, "Brother Luo is a benevolent man. How can I frame him? If I guess correctly, Miss Luo should have married her cousin Chunyuxiu, so she must have followed Chunyuxiu. The scholar was the first person to be an official in a different place. Brother Luo, do you want to go to the son-in-law's? You have fewer servants than last time, so you must move soon? "

Luo Yuande nodded.

Chu River sighed: "It would be a tragedy if it is really like the legend of Liang Zhu, but the real ending is much better than that story!" Say and burst out laughing.
