Tao went to clean the house. In the evening, he put the book on the table in his room and went out to get other things. When he turned back, the book was gone. It felt strange. I lay in bed, quietly waiting for anything strange. After a while, I heard footsteps. Looking sideways, I saw two women coming out of the room and returning the lost books to the table. One is almost 20 years old, and the other is just seventeen or eighteen. Both women are very beautiful. Two people hesitate to go to the front of the bed and smile at each other. Shen Tao lay motionless in bed. The older woman lifted one foot to support Shen Tao's stomach, while the younger woman covered her mouth and snickered. Sheng Tao felt his heart tremble, and he couldn't hold it. He quickly corrected his mentality and no longer cared about them. The older woman came and stroked Shen Tao's beard with her left hand, and patted his cheek with her right hand, making a little noise. The young woman smiled more happily. Shen Tao suddenly jumped up and shouted, "How dare you, kid!" The two women ran away in a hurry. Tao was afraid of being teased by them again at night and planned to move back, but he thought that he had said to Jiang Brown, "What is a ghost?" Because if this sentence moves back like this, it must be a joke. I have to light a lamp to read. Ghosts wandered around in the dark, and Shen Tao ignored them. At the end of the evening, he lit a lamp to sleep. As soon as he closed his eyelids, the Lord felt that someone had stabbed him in the nostril with something very small, which made him itch and sneeze. There was a faint laugh in the darkness. Shen Tao said nothing and waited for a while to see what had happened. After a while, I saw the young woman roll a piece of paper into a small note and crept over. Shen Tao suddenly jumped up and scolded 1, and the woman walked away again. No sooner had she fallen asleep than the girl came and poked him in the ear with a note. Shen Tao's noise was unbearable all night. Until the rooster crowed, it was quiet and Shen Tao was able to fall asleep. He didn't see them making trouble all day.
As soon as the sun went down, the ghost appeared vaguely again. Shen Tao decided to cook in the evening and prepare to study all night. The older woman came and bent her arm on the table to watch Shen Tao read. After a while, I closed Shen Tao's book. Shen Tao went to get her angrily, but she walked away again. After a while, she came to turn over the books again. Shen Tao had to hold the book by hand and read it. The young woman slipped behind Sheng Tao again, crossing her hands and covering Sheng Tao's eyes. For a moment, she stood in the distance and smiled. Shen Tao pointed at them and scolded them: "Little devil! If I catch you, I will kill you both! " Seeing that they were not afraid, Shen Tao jokingly said, "I don't know anything in the room. It's not good for you to pester me." Hearing this, the two women smiled and turned to the kitchen to help Shen Tao chop wood and cook rice. Shen Tao looked at them and praised them and said, "Isn't it much better for you to do this than to jump around stupidly?" After a while, the meal was ready, and two women scrambled to put spoons, chopsticks and ceramic bowls on the table. Shen Tao said, "Thank you for your hard work. How can I repay your kindness? " The second woman smiled and said, "We mixed arsenic and alcohol in the rice." Shen Tao said, "I have never had any hatred with you. How can you harm me with poison? " After eating a bowl, they went to fill it, and two women rushed to fill it for him. Shen Tao was glad that they did things for themselves in this way and gradually got used to getting along with them.
As the days passed, Shen Tao got to know them better and better, and pulled them together to chat. Tao Shenghua asked their names, and the older woman said, "My name is Qiao Qiurong. Her name is Ruan. "Shen Tao asked their origin again. Xiao Xie smiled and said, "What a scholar! Don't even dare to give yourself to us. Who asked you to ask where we came from? Do you want to marry us? " Hearing this, Shen Tao said seriously, "How can I not be emotional in the face of you two beautiful women?" But the yin on you is too heavy, and strangers will definitely die if they are contaminated. If you don't want to live with me, just go. If you like living with me, stay. If you don't love me, why should I defile you two beauties? If you like me, why did you kill me, a crazy scholar? "After hearing this, the two ladies were deeply moved. After that, they didn't play tricks on Shen Tao much, but some of them would put their hands into Shen Tao's arms and sometimes take off his pants, so Shen Tao wouldn't blame them.
One day, Shen Tao went out without finishing copying the book. When he came back, he saw Xiao Xie lying on the table, copying for him with a pen. When Shen Tao came in, he threw his pen aside and looked at Shen Tao with a shy smile. Shen Tao looked at it carefully. Although the handwriting is not very good, the spacing is neat. Shen Tao praised: "I didn't expect you to be an elegant person! I can teach you if you like. " I held Xiao Xie in my arms and taught her to write hand in hand. Qiu Rong just came in from the outside. When she saw this scene, her face suddenly changed, like jealousy. Xiao Xie said with a smile, "I learned to write with my father when I was a child, but I haven't written for a long time now. Today, writing is like dreaming. " Qiu Rong didn't answer. Shen Tao knew she was jealous, but pretended not to know, so she went over and picked her up, gave her a pen and said, "Let me see if you can write." Holding her wrist in her hand, she taught her to write a few lines, stood up and said, "Miss Qiu writes really well!" " "Qiu Rong is very happy. Then Shen Tao folded two pieces of paper, wrote it down, told them to copy it down, and lit another lamp to read. I am glad that both women have their own things to do and don't bother themselves anymore. When the two women finished copying, they stood at the table and listened to Shen Tao's comments. Qiu Rong hasn't read a book, but she just scribbles and her handwriting is illegible. Shen Tao finished marking with a pen. Qiu Rong looked at it, knowing that her handwriting was not as good as Xiao Xie's, and she showed a face of shame. Shen Tao praised and comforted her, and her face turned from cloudy to sunny. From then on, the two women regarded Shen Tao as a teacher, scratching him while sitting and massaging him while lying down. Not only did they dare not play tricks on him, but they also tried to please him. A month later, Xiao Xie's calligraphy was very correct and beautiful. Shen Tao once praised her. Qiu Rong felt ashamed, and her face was full of tears. Shen Tao tried every means to comfort her and help her clean up before she stopped. Shen Tao taught her to read, and Qiu Rong had a strong understanding. She said it once and immediately remembered it. She didn't ask again. Qiu Rong often stays up late to play games and read books with Shen Tao. Xiao Xie also asked his younger brother Saburo to learn from Shen Tao. Saburo was fifteen or sixteen years old and handsome. I gave A Jin Ruyi to Shen Tao as a gift. Shen Tao asked him to take a course with Qiu Rong. From then on, the room was full of reading sounds, and Shen Tao set up a ghost school here to teach children to read. Jiang Brown was very happy when he learned that, and often paid him a salary. A few months later, Saburo and Qiu Rong can write poems and often sing to each other. Secretly told not to teach Qiu Rong attentively, Tao was afraid that Qiu Rong would be unhappy and pretended to agree. Qiu Rong also secretly told Shen Tao not to teach Xiao Xie seriously, and Shen Tao pretended to agree. One day, Shen Tao wanted to catch the exam, and Qiu Rong and Xiao Xie saw him off with tears. Saburo (Xiao Xie's younger brother) said, "You can continue to be ill this time, otherwise it will be bad for your trip. Shen Tao thought it was shameful to pretend to be ill, so he went anyway. In the past, Shen Tao liked to satirize current events with poems, which offended the powerful people in the city. They always wanted to frame Shen Tao. This time, I bribed the examiner at the right time, framed Shen Tao for misconduct and sent him to prison. Sheng Tao's travelling expenses are glowing, so he has to ask other prisoners in the prison and thinks there is no possibility of survival. Suddenly, a man floated over. It turns out that Qiu Rong brought him food. They burst into tears as soon as they met. Qiu Rong cried and said, "Saburo was worried that your trip would be bad, and now it really is. This time, Saburo came with me. He went to the Academy Hall to complain for you first. "Qiu Rong said a few words and went away, and others could not see her. The next day, the Ministry went to Saburo to block the road and called for the correction of the situation taken by the Ministry. Qiu Rong went to prison again to tell Sheng Tao the news, and then went back to the Ministry for information. Didn't come back for three days in a row. Shen Tao was sad and hungry, without any support, as if it had been a year. Suddenly, Xiao Xie came. When he met Shen Tao, he said sadly, "When Qiu Rong went back, she passed the Chenghuang Temple and was forcibly taken away by the black-faced judge in the west corridor of the temple, forcing her to be a concubine. Qiu Rong refused to give in and has now imprisoned her. I ran more than a hundred miles and was very tired. When I arrived in the north of the city, I was pricked by a thorn, which hurt my bone marrow. I'm afraid I can't come to see you next time. " Then he put his foot into Shen Tao, and all his shoes and socks were red with blood. Xiao Xie took three taels of silver to Shen Tao and limped a few steps and disappeared. The minister inquired about the relationship between Saburo and Shen Tao, complained for him for no reason, and tried to beat him with a stick. Pushed saburo to the ground, but saburo was gone. The Ministry feels very strange. Look at his complaint carefully and make it sad. He ordered Dee Sheng Tao to interrogate him face to face: "Who is Saburo?" Shen Tao pretended not to know him. Knowing that he had been wronged, the minister released Shen Tao. Shen Tao came home and didn't see anyone all night. After going deeper, Xiao Xie came. He said sadly, "Saburo was sent to the underworld by my official god, and Yan Luowang sent him to a rich family because he was very loyal. Qiu Rong has been detained for a long time. I went to the city god with a complaint and was arrested by his black-faced judge. I don't know what to do? " Shen Tao said angrily, "How dare this old nigger do this! Tomorrow I will knock down his statue, trample it into pieces, and then criticize the fault of the city god. My officials are so violent, I still don't know in a drunken dream? "The two of them were outraged and didn't think four watches would run out. Autumn let suddenly came back, Sheng Tao and Xiao Xie saw pleasantly surprised, quickly asked her how to come back. Qiu Rong said with tears: "I have suffered so much for you this time! The black-faced judge threatened me with a knife and stick every day, and suddenly asked me to come back tonight, saying, "I didn't mean anything else, it was because I loved you." Since you don't want to, I have never defiled you. Please tell Mr. Tao not to blame. "Shen Tao smiled and wanted to sleep with them. He said, "I am willing to die for you tonight." The second daughter said sadly, "We have always been taught by you and know a little truth. Because we love you, how can we have the heart to hurt you? " The two women strongly disagreed. But they put their heads on Tao's shoulders and felt like husband and wife. Xiaoxie and Qiu Rong also experienced this ordeal because of * * *, and their jealousy completely disappeared. On one occasion, Shen Tao happened to meet a Taoist priest on the road. The Taoist priest looked at Shen Tao and said, "You are haunted. Shen Tao said something strange and told the Taoist about himself and his second daughter. "。 The Taoist priest said, "These two female ghosts are really good ghosts. Don't let them down. Then, he drew two symbols and gave them to Shen Tao, saying, "When you go back, give them to these two women according to their blessings." If you hear someone crying for a woman outside the door, tell them to swallow the symbol and run out so that the first one can come back to life. Shen Tao thanked the Taoist priest, and when he came back, he gave the operator to Qiu Rong and Xiao Xie, and told them what the Taoist priest said. "。 After more than a month, I heard a woman crying outside the door, and Xiao Xie and Qiu Rong rushed out. Xiao Xie was in such a hurry that he forgot to swallow the symbol and ran out. Seeing a funeral car passing by the door, Qiu Rong ran straight into the coffin and disappeared. Xiao Xie couldn't get in outside and ran back crying. Going out to have a look, it turned out that a rich man named Hao sent a woman to attend the funeral. Everyone was surprised to see a woman enter the coffin. They heard a voice in the coffin. Just put down the coffin and opened it, and the woman inside woke up. I temporarily put the coffin outside Sheng Tao's door and watched over her. When the woman opened her eyes, her first sentence was to ask where Shen Tao was. Hao hurriedly asked what was going on, and the woman replied, "I'm not your daughter. "So tell the truth. Master Hao was not convinced and wanted to carry her back. The woman refused to go back and went straight into Shen Tao's room. When she entered the room, she couldn't stand up. Hao had to admit to being a son-in-law and go back by himself.
Shen Tao approached and looked at the woman. Although her appearance is different from Qiu Rong's, her beauty is not lost to Qiu Rong at all. The two were overjoyed and told their own life stories with deep affection. Suddenly, I heard a ghost crying. It turned out that Xiao Xie was crying in a dark corner. I felt sorry for her, so I went to comfort her with a lamp. However, Xiao Xie cried her sleeves wet and she couldn't convince her. Xiao Xie didn't leave until dawn. After dawn, the Hao family asked the maid and the maid-in-waiting to send a dowry, and Master Hao and he became Weng Xu. In the evening, when Sheng Tao and Qiu Rong just entered the room, Xiao Xie began to cry again. After six or seven nights, Shen Tao and Qiu Rong were very sad and not in the mood to share a room. Shen Tao was worried, but couldn't figure out a way. Qiu Rong said, "That Taoist priest is really a fairy! If you ask him again, you may get his pity and help. " Shen Tao felt very reasonable, so he found a Taoist priest, knelt on the ground and asked him for help again. The Taoist strongly expressed that there was no way. Shen Tao pleaded. The Taoist priest smiled and said, "You silly scholar, what a nuisance! We are also destiny takes a hand, so I will do my best. " Then he followed Shen Tao home, asked for a quiet room, meditated with the door closed, and warned Shen Tao not to be disturbed. I always don't eat or drink after more than ten days. Peeking under the door secretly, I saw the Taoist priest with his eyes closed, as if he were sleeping. One morning, a young girl came in with curtains. The girl looks radiant with bright eyes and teeth. He smiled and said to Shen Tao, "People are exhausted after running all night. I couldn't get rid of you. I ran a hundred miles to find my health and came with you. Give her the body when you see the person you mentioned in the future. " After dusk, Xiao Xie came, and the girl suddenly greeted and hugged Xiao Xie. They merged into one and fell to the ground. At this time, the Taoist priest came out of the room, pulled Shen Tao and left. Shen Tao obediently escorted him to the door. When she came back, the girl was already awake. Shen Tao helped her to bed, and her breathing gradually relaxed. She just rubbed her feet and moaned that her toes and thighs were sore and she couldn't get out of bed for a few days.
Later, Shen Tao passed the exam and became a scholar. There is a man named Cai, and he is of the same ancestry. He just came to Shen Tao on business and stayed at Shen Tao's house for a few days. One day, when she came back from her neighbor's house, Cai saw her and hurried to catch up with her. Xiao Xie sideways to avoid, the in the mind dark hate their frivolous. Cai said, "One thing is really shocking. I wonder if you can tell me the truth? " Shen Tao hurriedly asked what was going on. Cai replied: "Three years ago, my little sister died unfortunately. After two nights, the body disappeared again, and I still have doubts about it. I happened to see your wife just now. Why do you look so much like your little sister? " Shen Tao smiled and said, "My wife is ugly. How can she compare with your sister? However, since we are on the same list and have deep feelings, there is no harm in letting my wife come out to meet you. " Go to the inner room and ask Xiao Xie to change into his shroud. Cai was shocked and said, "It's really me and my sister!" I shed tears with excitement. Shen Tao told him what had happened. Cai said happily, "My sister is not dead yet. I have to hurry back and tell my parents the news so that they can be happy. " Say that finish and left. A few days later, Cai's whole family came to the Tao family. Later, Cai Tao's relationship with these two families was as good as Hao Tao's.
Yi Shi said: "A stunning beauty, one is very rare, let alone two at the same time?" This kind of thing happens once in a thousand years, and only gentlemen who don't agree with running at night can meet it. Is that Taoist really a fairy? Why is his magic so magical? If there is such a clever spell, even ugly ghosts can make friends "
