QINGFENG

 Shanxi Taiyuan Geng family, this is a famous family, the House courtyard is very spacious and large. Later gradually declined, no one lives in the building, most of the deserted. As a result, strange things often happen, no one in and out, but the hall door automatically open or close, family members are often awakened in the night, screaming in fear. Master Geng was alarmed by these strange things. He then moved to a country house with his whole family, leaving only an old servant to guard the house. From then on, the courtyard became even more desolate and cold. But sometimes you can still faintly hear the sound of laughter, playing and singing coming from the house.

 Master Geng had a nephew named Geng Daizi, who was a wild and unruly man. He instructed the old man who watched the door to tell him quickly if he heard any movement. At night, the old man saw the lights upstairs flickering and flickering, so he rushed to tell Geng Sheng. Geng Sheng immediately wanted to go into the building to see what strange things were happening. The old man dissuaded him, but he was not willing to listen. Geng Sheng has always been familiar with the gateways and roads in the building. He pushed aside the tall weeds with both hands, circled around the corridors, turned left and right, and entered the inside. He went all the way up the stairs, and didn't see any strange phenomena along the way. But when he passed through the hall, he heard a soft voice inside. He tiptoed over and peeked in through the window eye, only to see a pair of huge red candles lit inside, illuminating the room as brightly as the day. An old man with a square scarf on his head was sitting with his face facing south. Opposite him was an old woman. Both of them were in their forties. To the east sat a teenager, around his early twenties. To the right of the teenager was a girl, only fifteen or sixteen years old. A table in the center was filled with wine and meat. The four people ate and drank and joked around the table, very joyful.

 Geng Sheng suddenly pushed the door and barged in, shouting with a smile, "A guest has come uninvited!" This sudden yell, the people in the house scared to run around, only the old man came out, scolded: "What are you, how dare you break into the inner room?" Geng Sheng said, "This is my family's inner room, for you to occupy. Isn't it too mean to have fine wine and just drink it yourself without inviting the master of the room?" The old man took a closer look at Geng Sheng and said, "You're not the master here!" Geng Sheng said, "I'm Geng Deiqi, the nephew of the master of the house." Upon hearing this, the old man hastened to make a polite bow and said, "I've heard a lot about you!" Arching his hand to Geng Sheng, he invited him to take a seat, and greeted his family members to change the wine and add tea. Geng Sheng asked the old man not to be so polite, but he still poured the wine and invited him to drink it himself. Geng Sheng said, ''We are worldly friends, not outsiders. There is no need to avoid everyone here just now, so please ask them to come out and drink together." The old man shouted, "Xiao'er!" A moment later, the young man walked in from outside. The old man introduced, "This is my son." Xiao'er arched his hand to Geng Sheng and took his seat. Geng Sheng then asked the old man about his family history. The old man said, "Yi Zu's surname is Hu." Geng Sheng had always been a brash talker. That filial son was also a spontaneous and straightforward young man. They talk to each other, love each other, very opportunistic. Geng Sheng was twenty-one years old, two years older than Xiaoer, and treated Xiaoer as his younger brother. The old man said to Geng Sheng: "I heard that your ancestor once compiled the Tushan Gaidian, do you know about this?" Geng Sheng said, "Yes!" The old man said, "I am a descendant of the Tu Shan Clan, and I can still remember the family lineage after the Tang Dynasty, but before the Fifth Dynasty, it was lost, so I still hope that Your Excellency will teach me more." Geng Sheng briefly recounted the achievements of the Tu Shan woman who assisted Great Yu in curing the water, doing his best to whitewash the descriptions in a wonderfully entertaining and gushing manner. The old man listened with a fluttering brow and said to Xiao'er, "I'm so lucky today to be able to hear these never-before-heard stories of our ancestor's entrepreneurial endeavors. Duke Geng is not an outsider, so you might as well invite your mom and Qingfeng to come along and listen to them, so that they can also understand the feats of my ancestors."

 Hyoe got up and went inside the curtain. After a while, an old woman led the girl out. Geng Sheng took a closer look at the woman, her slim waist looked extraordinarily delicate, her eyes overflowed with autumn waves, she had not seen such a beautiful woman in the human world. The old man pointed at the old woman and said, "This is my old wife." And pointing to the female, he said, "This is Qingfeng, my niece. The person is quite smart and can remember and not forget anything she has heard and seen. So call her here so she can listen to it as well." Geng Sheng finished his story and drank, gazing at Qingfeng without stopping his eyes, Qingfeng noticed and shyly lowered her head. Geng Sheng again secretly with his foot to step on Qingfeng's small feet, Qingfeng hastily retracted his feet, but could not see that there is angry look. Geng Sheng more and more soulful, can not help themselves, patting the table and said: "To have a wife like this, is to take the emperor's throne in exchange, I would not want to change!" The old woman saw Geng Sheng gradually drunk, speech and behavior, more and more crazy, then with Qingfeng together stood up, hastily lifted the tent into the inner room. Geng Sheng was very disappointed, so he took his leave of the old man, but the shadow of Qingfeng kept surfacing in his heart, and he couldn't forget it.

 The next night, Geng Sheng went upstairs again, the house orchid musk odor is still very strong, but staring and holding his breath waiting for an all-nighter, but quiet no sound. Geng Sheng went back to discuss with his wife, to move the whole family to live in the building, hoping to have the opportunity to see Qingfeng again. His wife was not willing to go with him, so Geng Sheng moved in by himself and read downstairs. At night, he leaned against his desk and closed his eyes. Suddenly, a ghost walks in with his head cloaked, his face as black as paint, staring at Geng Sheng with wide-open eyes. However, Geng Sheng wasn't scared at all, instead he laughed out loud. He put his finger into the ink stone, dipped it into the ink, and painted himself with a big black face, glaring at the ghost with shining eyes. Seeing that the ghost could not scare Geng Sheng, he slipped away in shame.

 The next night, in the middle of the night, Geng Sheng blew out the candle and was about to go to sleep. Suddenly, he heard someone behind the building rattling the door latch, and with a bang, the door was pushed open. He hurriedly got up to look, only to see the door of the building half open. Then, he heard a small footsteps, and then a candlelight shot out from the room. Geng Sheng borrowed the light and took a closer look, and it turned out to be Qingfeng standing in front of him. When she suddenly saw Geng Sheng, she was so frightened that she fell back a few steps and hurriedly closed the door behind her. Geng Sheng knelt in front of the door and pleaded, ''Little Sheng, I didn't avoid the danger and stayed here, it's really for your sake. Now fortunately there is no one else, if I can shake hands with you and kiss you, I will have no regrets even if I die." Qingfeng stood at a distance through the door and said, "How can I not know your deep love for me! But my uncle's family is very strict, I really dare not agree to your request!" Geng Sheng begged bitterly, "I don't dare to harbor the delusion of intimate intimacy, as long as I can meet you, I will be satisfied!" Qingfeng seemed to agree to this request, opened the door and walked in, took Geng Sheng's arm and helped him up. Geng Sheng was very happy and led her downstairs, holding her on his lap. Qingfeng said: ''Fortunately, I have a bit of old karma with you. After this night, it is useless to think about you day and night." Geng Sheng asked her, "And why is that?" Qingfeng said, "My uncle was afraid of your madness, so he turned into a severe ghost to scare you, but you weren't afraid at all. Now that a residence has been found elsewhere, the family has moved their things to the new residence, leaving me to look after the house at this time. To-morrow I must also move away from here." After saying this, she was about to leave, and explained, "I'm afraid my uncle is coming back." Geng Sheng pulled her back to prevent her from leaving, wanting to make love to her. While the two were arguing, the old man suddenly dashed in. Qingfeng was so scared and ashamed that she had no place to go, lowered her head, red-faced, rubbed her sash, and didn't say a word. The old man huffed and said: "Bitchy girl, spoiled my family's style! Still not quick to roll! See how I turn around and beat you with a whip!" Qingfeng lowered her head and hurriedly slipped away. The old man also followed and chased out. Geng Sheng followed behind and heard the old man reprimanding Qingfeng, while Qingfeng was sobbing in a low voice. Geng Sheng's heart was like a knife, so he said loudly: "The sin is all on me, what does it have to do with Qingfeng? If you're willing to forgive her, I'm willing to bear it as much as you want!" After a long time, Geng Sheng went back to sleep when he heard nothing more. From then on, nothing strange happened in this house. Geng Sheng's uncle was so amazed that he was willing to sell the house to his nephew, regardless of the price. Geng Sheng was very happy, and moved the whole family in. After living there for more than a year, life was very comfortable, but he always missed Qingfeng.

 On the day of the Ching Ming Festival, Geng Sheng came back from sweeping the graves and saw two little foxes being closely chased by dogs. One was desperately trying to escape to the wilderness, while the other was panicking and scurrying along the road. Seeing the hounds chasing up, the little fox saw Geng Sheng, ran over, wailed and chirped, hanging ears and head, as if begging him to save his life. Geng Sheng felt pity for it, so he undid his clothes and carried it home. After arriving home, closed the door, put the little fox on the bed, a look, but it turned out to be the day and night miss the green phoenix. He was overjoyed, and quickly calmed her down, asking her if she was scared. Qingfeng said: "Just now I was playing with the maid, accidentally suffered this big disaster. If it wasn't for Lang Jun who saved me, I would have been buried in the belly of a dog. I hope you don't dislike me just because I'm not of my own kind." Geng Sheng said, "I have been thinking of you day and night, dreaming of you. Now that I see you, it's really like I've gotten a strange and exotic treasure, so what's there to say about disliking you!" Qingfeng said, "It seems that this is the fate of heaven! If I hadn't run into this crisis, how could I be with you? What's also worth celebrating is that that maiden must have thought I was dead, and that uncle would never come looking for me again, so I can be reunited with you forever." Geng Sheng was very happy to hear this, and packed another house for Qingfeng to live in.

 After more than two years, one night, Geng Sheng was reading when Xiaoyi suddenly walked in. Geng Sheng put down his book and asked him where he had come from. Xiao'er knelt on the ground and said sadly, "My father has been struck by a terrible disaster, and only you can save him. He wanted to come and beg you in person, but was afraid that you wouldn't see him. So he asked me to come." Geng Sheng busily asked, "What is it?" Xiao'er said, "Sir, do you know Mo Sanlang?" Geng Sheng said, "Recognize! He's also quite familiar with his father, his father and my father were successful in the imperial examinations together." Xiao'er said, "Tomorrow Mo Sanlang will be passing through here, if there is a wounded fox among the prey he hunts, please find a way to leave it behind." Geng Sheng said, "The humiliation I suffered downstairs that year is still fresh in my mind. I dare not ask about other people's affairs. I must do something, I must ask Qingfeng to come out and intercede!" Xiao'er shed tears and said, "It's been three years since Sister Feng died in the middle of nowhere." Geng Sheng threw up his sleeve and said, "If that's the case, then my resentment is even deeper." After saying this, he picked up the book and chanted loudly, not even glancing at Xiao'er. Xiao'er stood up, let out a loud cry, and walked away with her hands covering her face.

 Geng Sheng went to Qing Feng's residence and told him what had just happened. Upon hearing this, Qingfeng's face suddenly changed, and he urgently asked, "Are you going to save my uncle or not?" Geng Sheng intentionally slowed down his speech and said, "Save - of course I will! The reason why I didn't agree just now was merely to get back at him for his rough interference the time before!" Qingfeng was then happy and said, "I lost my parents when I was young, and it was my uncle who raised me. Although he offended you in the past, it's still a family rule that he should do that ah!" Geng Sheng said, "It's also right for you to say that, but after all, it makes one's heart ache. If you really die, I will definitely not save him." Qingfeng smiled and said, "You're so cruel!"

 The next day, Mo Sanlang really came. Riding a horse decorated with gold, carrying a bow bag made of tiger skin, followed by a large number of attendants, very impressive. Geng Sheng went to the door to meet, saw him hunting a lot of prey, among them there is really a black fox, blood wet through the fur, with a hand touch, the flesh is still a little warm. Geng Sheng then pretended to say that his leather robe was torn and he needed the fur of this black fox to mend it. Mo Sanlang graciously unhooked the fox and gave it to him. Geng Sheng immediately passed it on to Qingfeng and then entertained the guests with wine. After the guests left, Qingfeng held the black fox in her arms. After three days, the black fox woke up, turned around and became the old man again. He lifted his eyes and saw Phoenix, suspecting that this was no longer the earth. Qingfeng told him what he had experienced. The old man immediately bowed down to Geng Sheng with a shameful face, apologizing for his former misdeeds. Then, he said to Qingfeng in a giddy manner, "I had said that you were not dead, and today I have indeed confirmed it." Qingfeng said to Geng Sheng, "If you truly care for me, I must also ask you to lend the building to my family, so that I can also do some filial piety to repay my uncle for raising me." Geng Sheng promised, and the old man, deeply ashamed of Geng Sheng's tolerance and generosity, bowed his thanks once more, and bid farewell and left. At night, the whole family moved back again. Afterward, the old man and Geng Sheng, like father and son, no longer have suspicion and scruples. Geng Sheng lived in the study and often drank and chatted with Xiaoyi. The son of Geng Sheng's wife grew up, and worshiped Xiao'er as his teacher. Because Xiao-er was good at coaxing and educating children, he had the demeanor of a teacher.
