Chapter 251 Young Woman from Qingxian County
In the last years of Kangxi's reign, there was a young peasant woman in Qing County (now part of Cangzhou City, Hebei Province). She had a lively and frivolous temperament. She often worked with her husband. The couple was deeply in love and inseparable.
The couple often laugh and flirt with each other and never shy away from others. Sometimes, even in summer, we have to sleep together in the melon garden at night with thin clothes.
Everyone in the village looked down upon her, thinking that she was lascivious and behaved inappropriately.
But the young woman only does this to her husband, and to other men, she is as cold as iron and ignores her.
If there are those with bad intentions who want to tease her in private, they will definitely be severely rejected by her.
Later, this young woman was robbed by robbers. Seeing her beauty, the robbers wanted to rape her, but she refused to obey.
The robber became angry and slashed with his knife.
The young woman was stabbed seven times, but she still cursed. In the end, she was not tainted by the robbers, and she died because of her steadfastness.
When the villagers found out, they were all surprised by her loyalty and steadfastness.
Mr. Liu Junzhuo, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, commented: "This is the so-called reason for being beautiful in nature but not receiving a good education.
This young woman, because she was loyal to her husband, would rather die than abandon her husband. It shows that her essence is good.
But because she has not read books and does not understand etiquette, her emotions and desires are shown on her face, and the intimacy between husband and wife is not taboo, and is reflected in her words and actions. People will think that her behavior is inappropriate. . "
However, Mr. Xin Tongfu commented: "Chengzi (Cheng Ben, also known as Zihua) was born in Guogong of Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is now Gongyi County, Henan Province. He was knowledgeable, good at debating, and well-known among the princes. Later generations respectfully called him " Cheng Zi".) There is a saying that goes well: Anyone who avoids suspicion with words and deeds is because his heart is not strong enough and his psychology is lacking. This woman has no distracting thoughts in her heart, so she can act on her own wishes openly and honestly. Take action. This is the reason why she can stick to her integrity. I have seen many sanctimonious and arrogant people, but they are not necessarily nobler than this young woman!"
Ji Xiaolan's father, Yao Angong, said: "Mr. Liu's comments are orthodox, while Mr. Xin's comments are a little extreme."
Soon after, the young woman's husband built a temporary round thatched house in the field to guard the soybean field, and slept alone in it at night.
Suddenly one day, while the husband was sleeping, he saw his wife coming and being intimate with him as usual.
The husband was surprised and happy, thinking that his wife was not dead.
The young woman told him: "I was indeed killed by a robber. However, because I was a chaste and martyr woman, the underworld decreed that after my reincarnation, I could pass the imperial examination and be appointed as a county magistrate somewhere.
But I missed my husband and didn't want to reincarnate, so I begged the officials of the Underworld to let me resign from my official position and become just a wandering ghost. In this way, I can stay with my husband for a long time.
The officials of the Underworld sympathized with my plight and agreed to my request, so I could come to meet my husband. "
When the husband heard what she said, he was so moved that he cried. He hugged the young woman and swore that he would only treat her well and never marry another woman in this life.
From then on, the young woman disappeared during the day and appeared in bed with her husband at night.
About twenty years passed like this, and my husband died without any illness.
It is said that during this period, some children secretly went to see it out of curiosity, and they actually saw the ghost of the young woman.
This is a true story that Ji Xiaolan heard from his father Yao Angong when he was a child. At that time, I still remembered the names of the young woman and her husband, but later, as time passed, I forgot them.
