Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Jia Zhen widened her eyes, staring at the fire in horror, stepped back again and again, yelled "a ghost" and turned around and ran. He ran all the way back to Mantao's residence, but found that the small courtyard was empty, and the people in the corridor The lights were also extinguished, only the main room was lit with candles, the light was flickering, and it was a bit penetrating.

Jia Zhen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked back nervously, but saw the flame rising from the black sky moving towards her from a distance.

Jia Zhen was so frightened that she jumped into the house in two or three steps.As soon as he closed the door to catch his breath, he saw a woman in white with disheveled hair standing on a round sandalwood table and pointing a sword at him.

"You - bear - me!" The female voice was shrill, and the ending was trembling with shock.

Jia Zhen sat down on the ground in horror, "Who are you? Come here!"

"Spring mud! Spring mud! Spring mud..."

The woman kept yelling and suddenly flew towards Jia Zhen, scaring Jia Zhen out of her wits, and fled to the west with both hands.

Jia Zhen hid in the corner with a pale face, covered her eyes and dared not look at the woman.

After being quiet for a while, Jia Zhen opened her fingers tremblingly. When she looked over, she saw the woman in white turned sideways, with only a blood-red mouth exposed on her face covered by black hair. , Swallowing the sword.

This is not something that humans can do, it is clearly a ghost!

Jia Zhen tightly closed her eyes not daring to look, covered her face and yelled, telling the female ghost not to come to him.

He cried and shouted for a long time, until he became hoarse, and the room was as quiet as before.But Jia Zhen didn't dare to look, he was afraid that he would see a more frightening scene than before.So he kept covering his face and shaking his body.

After a long time, he heard the sound of the door opening, and he was even more afraid that his legs could no longer move.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" The soft female voice carried infinite charm.

Jia Zhen shouted in fright: "Don't look for me! Don't look for me!"

"Master, what are you talking about?" Man Tao stroked Jia Zhen's hand lightly.

Jia Zhen was taken aback, seeing clearly that it was Mantao, her pale cheeks only slightly softened to a little blood.

He was relieved to see that there were several other women in the room.Going to look at the place where the female ghost is, she has long since disappeared.

He really must have, met a ghost.

Jia Zhen got up with the help of the maid and mother-in-law, and then told Man Tao about what happened to him just now in fear.

Man Tao's eyes widened, "Master, you just ran into a ghost!"

"Where did you all go just now? There is no one in the room, otherwise how could I have bumped into that kind of dirty thing."

"The uncle is not here anymore. I am bored, so I played cards with a few women in the next room. It is strange that when the master came, there was a little maid outside, and no one informed me."

"Nonsense, there is no one at all. What kind of wing, the lights are not on, how do you play cards?"

"Master, we were really playing cards just now, so many people can testify."

Seeing the women nodding their heads, Jia Zhen felt that this matter was really evil.Maybe it was really unlucky for me, and I met a ghost.

Jia Zhen dared not go out again tonight, so she stayed with Mantao.

Mantao smiled and waited for Jia Zhen to rest, she leaned tightly beside Jia Zhen, occasionally moving a few times, after all, she caught Jia Zhen's interest.Although Jia Zhen was still shocked, he needed to distract himself from thinking about what happened just now.It might not be a good choice to vent, and the two of them turned upside down fiercely.

On the second day, Jia Zhen went out and specially invited a magician to exorcise ghosts. It cost a lot of money and planned to do six rituals in one day.

After Yan Liang heard about it, he disagreed, "You do these things to find bad luck on New Year's Eve, how can you tell people to celebrate the New Year? Go and get rid of them."

Jia Zhen was reluctant, and hurriedly told the master how she had run into a ghost, euphemistically saying that it was not only for her own good, but also for the good of the whole family.

"I think you're playing tricks and blasphemy. You insist on disturbing the whole house during the New Year's Eve festival." Yan Liang firmly disagreed with Jia Zhen's nonsense at this time.Jia Zhen had no choice but to obey.

That night, the whole family watched the New Year's Eve until midnight, except for Xichun, who naturally had to go to bed early because she was still young.

After the whole family paid their respects happily, Yan Liang went back to the room with Xichun, who was already asleep, and You Shi stepped forward to take over and took Xichun with him.Yan Liangcai told everyone to leave earlier, and reminded Jia Zhen to pay attention earlier, and not to delay entering the palace to thank her tomorrow morning.

Jia Zhen hurriedly agreed, and went back to the room under the guidance of several maids. He was still a little frightened by the scare the night before, and he was a little scared walking on the night road, so he walked among the servants, Look left and look again, for fear of what might happen.

After returning to the room, Jia Zhen asked people not to turn off the lights, and Fang lay down on the bed alone. After an unknown period of time, when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, the window suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind blew out the candles in the room. .Jia Zhen looked back and saw a touch of white clothes, she hugged her head and yelled, but no one answered him.Gradually he became quiet and kept silent.I don't know if he fainted from fright or really fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next day.

The master sent someone to urge him, Jia Zhen remembered that she was going to enter the palace today, hurriedly changed her clothes, and went to meet Yan Liang.

Yan Liang looked at Jia Zhen's face, but said nothing. The father and son got into the car together, and worshiped together with all the officials.

On the way back, Jia Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, leaned her head in the car and fell asleep.After a while, when he woke up again, he found himself lying on the cold ground, surrounded by a wilderness.

"Where is this?" Jia Zhen asked, but no one answered. He got out of the car, only to realize that he was the only one here, surrounded by a wilderness, and there were forests a little farther away, but there was a dirt road leading to the distance.

Jia Zhen cursed angrily, got up, and planned to ask someone for help, but when she turned around, she suddenly found a grave, and she was so scared that she took a few steps back.

After calming down for a while, Jia Zhen found a tombstone standing in front of the grave, with the word Chunni written crookedly on it.Jia Zhen immediately thought of the female ghost, and turned around and ran away in fright.After finally walking to the mainland, he promised money and was sent back to Ning Mansion.

Before Jia Zhen had time to settle accounts with the coachman and others, Yan Liang called her over and scolded her severely.

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you just came back from the palace, and you ran out to play around? How decent!"

"I--"

"You're still in collusion with your boys!" Yan Liang said in a heavy voice.

"Father, I really didn't, I fell asleep in the car..."

"No need to explain." Yan Liang sent Jia Zhen to kneel in front of his mother's memorial tablet for an hour to think about it.

When Jia Zhen was leaving, she just saw his coachman and two other chauffeurs coming out of the wing.

The boys rushed to him to complain, and only then did Jia Zhen realize that they were completely ignorant, and she must have run into a ghost again.

Jia Zhen was terrified, and went back to Yan Liang in a panic to explain clearly.

"Chunni? Who is it?" Yan Liang asked.

"I don't know." Jia Zhen said casually, her eyes widened suddenly, her mouth trembling, "Chun, Chunni...could it be that Chunni?"

"Which one?" Yan Liang looked at him seriously.

"It's normal for the master not to remember for so many years, even I almost forgot. She was the maidservant next to the wife. She was young at that time, and when she saw him looking good, she just..." Jia Zhen panicked and let him down to the first one. Tell Yan Liang what happened to the woman.

Jia Zhen read a lot, and Yan Liang went to the middle to listen to the beginning and the end. It was nothing more than he coaxed people to sleep and was irresponsible.

"Since you have been sent to marry by your mother, how can you become a female ghost?"

Jia Zhen also didn't understand, and shook her head to express that she didn't know.

Mrs. Song stood up at this time, "I have heard that Chunni died not long after she was sent away to marry far away."

Jia Zhen was shocked and couldn't catch her breath for a moment.

Yan Liang promised Jia Zhen: "If it's true as you said, you met a ghost, then you can call those magicians here."

On the second day, Taoist priests, monks, and half-immortals all came to Ning Mansion, and they were asked to use their housekeeping skills. As long as they can get rid of ghosts, it is better than anything else.

In the next two days, it really worked. Jia Zhen didn't touch the strange thing, thinking that it was over.On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Liang began to work in the Ministry of Officials.Jia Zhen started playing tricks when she was in class during the day, and half an hour before the lunch break, he held his stomach and pretended to be in pain.Seeing this, the old gentleman had to let him go to rest early.Jia Zhen ran to Mantao's room in a hurry.

Just as they took off their clothes and Jia Zhen was about to kiss, she heard someone shouting leisurely from the same place.

"You - negative - me!"

Jia Zhen shivered and asked Man Tao, "Did you hear anything?"

Mantao shook his head.

Jia Zhen lost her interest and pulled up her trousers to eat.

Another day passed, calm as usual.In the evening, Jia Zhen was full of food and drink, thinking about lust, and came to the mantao he was thinking of.

Just as the two were about to turn their backs on each other, the window was blown open by the wind suddenly, and a ball of fire floated in from the window and went straight to the head of the bed.

Jia Zhen was so frightened that she immediately softened. She was at the foot of the bed, covering her eyes with trembling hands, not daring to look over there.

Mantao screamed, got off the bed with her clothes in her hands and fled.

Jia Zhen was even more frightened, and shouted: "Chunni, I was wrong, don't look for me, don't look for me."

Looking up after a while, everything returned to normal.

Jia Zhen was so frightened that the next day she summoned those sorcerers and scolded them, and then asked someone to invite even more powerful masters.However, after exorcising the ghost, whenever he wanted to have sex, all kinds of weird things always happened.Until the beginning of the first month, this time.

Jia Zhen is going crazy, but now he absolutely dare not think about that aspect anymore, because when he thinks about it, he will think of the female ghost, and he will be so frightened that he can't arouse any interest.

On the second day of February, Yan Liang brought back a Taoist priest who was quite immortal and introduced him to Jia Zhen.Jia Zhen heard that he was an expert in exorcising ghosts, so she rushed to see him and begged him to find a way to get rid of the female ghost.After the Taoist walked around the Ning Mansion, he finally stopped in the courtyard where You Shi was located.

"The deepest resentment here must be where you blamed her."

Jia Zhen froze for a moment, then nodded to the Taoist priest, "Master is amazing."

After all the people in the courtyard avoided, the Taoist priest walked around the courtyard with a compass, and finally walked into the main room.Jia Zhen originally wanted to go in with her, but when she heard that the priest was going to force the female ghost to show up, he was so scared that he just waited in the courtyard.

As soon as the Taoist priest entered, the door closed with a bang.Then, Jia Zhen, who was waiting in the courtyard, saw a fire flickering in the house, and then he heard a familiar female voice crying, and then yelling after crying.

Jia Zhen trembled with fright.After about a stick of incense, the Taoist came out sweating profusely, and said to Jia Zhen: "That female ghost is extremely powerful, and I can't help it."

Jia Zhen firmly believed in the Taoist's words, after all, no matter how many famous warlocks he had invited in Beijing before, it was useless.But at any rate, this is telling the truth, much better than those god sticks who swear by their promises and are unreliable.

Jia Zhen hurriedly bowed and begged the Taoist priest to help her.

"Fortunately, I invited the Patriarch to come out of the mountain, and the female ghost frightened the power of the Patriarch, so she agreed to negotiate terms with me. As long as you sincerely apologize, change your mistakes with your heart, and swear with your life that you will never lewd|sexually hurt women again, she will be honest I don’t want to trouble you. But she refuses to leave, saying that she will wait for you to reincarnate together, she will keep her eyes on you, and once you break your promise, she will reappear and take you away in advance.”

Jia Zhen trembled twice in horror, and asked the Taoist priest if there was any other way to get rid of it.The Taoist shook his head and asked Jia Zhen if he would agree. If not, he had no choice but to leave without receiving any money. But tonight the female ghost immediately claimed his life, and the Taoist said that he would never help.

Jia Zhen didn't have a second choice, so she had to agree.Under the arrangement of the Taoist priest, he cut his fingers, mixed blood and cinnabar, wrote a letter of commitment on paper, folded it and put it in an envelope with Chun Ni's name on it, and then burned the letter into a brazier.

When Yan Liang returned home, Jia Zhen was still studying with her husband.

Probably when it was time to set the meal, Jia Zhen came over to say hello.

"I think you don't know how to be moderate. During these days, you spend almost every day at Mantao's place, disregarding your daughter-in-law's dignity. If you continue like this, you will spoil your concubine and destroy your wife. This kind of scandal should never happen in our family. In view of your extremely poor performance these days, I plan to withdraw the reward and send Mantao away, do you have any objections?"

Jia Zhen likes Mantao very much, she is beautiful, gentle and polite, and it is very comfortable to do that kind of thing with her.But when she thought of the female ghost, Jia Zhen didn't dare to intercede anymore, she just begged Yan Liang to help Man Tao find a good home, and don't treat her badly.

"It's natural." Yan Liang sent his mother-in-law to deal with the matter, and arranged for Man Tao to leave the house that night. As for where he was going, Yan Liang refused to tell in the name of fearing that Jia Zhen would show mercy.

Jia Zhen's heart was twisted twice, so she didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, the housekeeper Yu Lu entered the door and happily reported to Yan Liang the arrangements for the spring planting in each Zhuangzi for several years.

"You look happy, but is there a happy event at home?" Yan Liang asked.

"Of course, the youngest second daughter is engaged to Hong Fu, the master. It is a farm family in the west of Beijing. It has a little wealth. The family also has four or five servants. It is considered rich. She married, maybe not. will suffer."

"It's a great thing. Go to the cashier and get 100 taels of silver to buy more dowry for your daughter."

Yu Lu thanked Dade and went.

Jia Zhen's complexion was very bad.He was engaged to the second girl of Yu Lu's family before he had time to make a move.Really... But thinking of that female ghost, Jia Zhen felt that Yu Lu's second daughter would not be blessed for him either.

After Jia Zhen left, Yan Liang sent Wu Qiumao to tell the owner of the juggling class that he could get money and leave.The only one who knew the whole thing was the boss of the juggling class, and the others were ordered to do things. They all thought it was their boss's conspiracy, and they didn't understand the reason.After Yan Liang asked the boss to sign a confidential document, he let him leave.In the future, if any inappropriate news comes out, we will use this to bring him to court.The boss of the juggling class knew the pros and cons of it, so he naturally kept it in mind, and promised not to talk too much into trouble to offend the Ningguo Mansion, so he took the money and went there contentedly.

Yu Lu turned to look for his master again, and kowtowed in every possible way to thank Yu Yanliang, Yu Lu was lucky to escape this time.If it is said that if the master counts the daughter of a servant, his status is high, and it is difficult for the servants to do so.For example, when Uncle Zhen fell in love with his daughter, even if the old man helped to stop him, if Uncle Zhen loses face, he will become unhappy and bear a grudge, and no one can prevent him from doing bad things secretly.But it's a good way now, don't say it clearly, let Uncle Zhen quietly give up his thoughts.

Besides, Mrs. You, ever since she met Yan Liang years ago, she has never forgotten this calm and elegant handsome master.When she went to the Ning Mansion to visit the house a few years later, she heard that Youshi hadn't inquired about her father-in-law's intention to remarry, so she euphemistically reminded her.After the Lantern Festival, she came again, but she still didn't get any news, so she urged her.Now half a month has passed, Mrs. You couldn't sit still at home, so she cleaned up and brought her two daughters to the door.
