Nie Xiaoyu had almost sorted out the stories at this time, and there were thousands of them. He nodded, found "A Chinese Ghost Story" and started telling it.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" is a very classic story about a person's unresolved ghostly love in Liaozhai. In later generations, it has been remade several times in movies and TV series. Of course, the director and screenwriter will definitely make some changes, but what Nie Xiaoyu found is Pu Songling's "Liaozhaozhai".
The most original story in the novel, and translated into vernacular that even people who have never read the book can understand.
Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio has been very popular for more than 300 years since it was written by Pu Songling in the Qing Dynasty. Wang Junlin believes that these stories appeared in front of people of this era more than a thousand years in advance, so the effect should not be bad.
"Once upon a time, there was a scholar named Ning Caichen. He often said to people: 'I have never lusted after women in my life.' Once, he went to a place called Jinhua and unloaded his luggage to rest at a temple called Lanruo Temple. Lanruo
The temple is very magnificent, but it is overgrown with weeds and there are no traces of people everywhere. It looks very ghostly. The doors of the two places where the monks live in the east and west are ajar. There is only a small house in the south, and the door latch is as new...
…”
There was an interested expression on the girl's face, "Is it a ghost story? It sounds pretty good..."
Nie Xiaoyu ignored her and continued: "... Ning Caichen was just about to go to sleep when he suddenly realized that someone had come to where he lived. He quickly got up to take a look and found that it was the young and beautiful woman he had just seen in the North Courtyard.
Ning Caichen hurriedly asked the woman why she came. The woman smiled and said, "I can't sleep at night. I hope to marry you." Ning Caichen said righteously: "I'm afraid that others will say that if I make a mistake, I will be hated forever."
, moral integrity is lost.’ The woman said: ‘No one knows at night’…”
Nie Xiaoyu is actually the worst storyteller in the world, because her tone of voice has no fluctuations, let alone matching facial expressions and gestures, but the stories she tells are the best that Zheng Shuyi has ever heard.
story.
"...The woman said: 'Whoever touches me, I will prick his feet with an awl when he is not paying attention. Then he will feel dazed, and I will suck his blood and feed it to the monster. Or use
Gold is confusing. In fact, it is not real gold but Rakshasa ghost bones. If people stay, they can take people's hearts and livers. Generally, these two methods are used to seduce them. Ning Caichen told the woman
After thanking him, he asked when he would be on guard against monsters coming, and the woman said tomorrow night. When leaving, the woman cried and said: "I am now in the mysterious sea and cannot be reincarnated. You are upright and you will definitely be able to save me from the sea of suffering. If you can,
If you can take my ashes and bury them somewhere with people, I will..."
When talking about this, Wang Junlin suddenly said: "Okay, let's stop talking about it today!"
Nie Xiaoyu stopped obediently, but she paused and said: "Why is this female ghost called Nie Xiaoqian, and you named me Nie Xiaoyu? Could it be that in your mind I am also a ghost?"
Wang Junlin said with a smile: "You are so beautiful. If you are not a ghost, are you still a human being?"
Nie Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and said: "If you think about it this way, I am really a ghost."
"Ah!" Suddenly Zheng Shuyi screamed, but then she blocked her mouth again, but when she looked at Nie Xiaoyu again, her expression was full of horror.
She was engrossed in the story just now, and the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian described in the story was very beautiful, just like the sister in front of her who she had long noticed was a woman disguised as a man, but she overheard Wang Junlin's deliberate conversation with Nie Xiaoyu.
, somehow she really believed at that moment that Nie Xiaoyu was not a human being, but a ghost or something like that...so she screamed out.
Zheng Shuyi looked around and saw that the people next to her who had been disturbed by her had turned their heads, so she patted her chest and exhaled, saying: "Keep talking, what did that female ghost say about me? What happened next...
…”
"Okay, let's stop here today! You can tell your grandpa the story I just told and let him try to tell it. In a few days, I will send someone to bring you the follow-up story and discuss a business deal with you.
." After Wang Junlin finished speaking, he took Nie Xiaoyu and left.
Seeing Wang Junlin leaving with the beautiful sister who really didn't seem to be human, the figure quickly disappeared at the gate of Wa Shi. Zheng Shuyi, who was standing at the door of her home, had an already cute and cute face that was even more stunned.
The story is only half told, and it stops at the most critical moment, unable to hear the rest of the story, which makes people feel itchy and uncomfortable.
"Business talk? What kind of business can you talk to us about..." The girl looked confused and murmured in a low voice.

When Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu returned to Qin'anhou Mansion, they met Changsun Wuji who came to invite him to a banquet.
The banquet we went to was not the banquet of Changsun's family, but the banquet of General Han Qinhu. The reason why I didn't send a name card was because the banquet was tonight, and it was just the right time to set off at this time.
It has to be said that at this juncture when he fell out of favor and lost his official position, and severely offended the King of Han, Han Qinhu first spoke out and supported him at the court meeting, and now invited him to a banquet at his home. This gesture and friendship were indeed worth it
Wang Junlin is grateful.
Nie Xiaoyu was asked to go back to the house by himself. Wang Junlin didn't even have time to change his clothes before he was pulled into the carriage by Changsun Wuji and went straight to the Han Mansion.
The two arrived at the Han Mansion. After the servants of the Han Mansion passed the news, not long after, they saw a burly figure striding out. Without saying a word, he pulled Wang Junlin and walked towards the mansion...
"Wahahahahaha, this is your first time coming to my house, don't talk nonsense, drink three bowls of wine and then chat with me..."
Wang Junlin was pulled by Han Qinhu. Considering that the old guy was old, and although his spirit was still very good, his physical condition was obviously not good, so it was difficult for him to struggle, but he could not lose his courtesy. He cupped his hands and used a slightly
He saluted Han Qinhu with a embarrassed posture.
"Boy... I paid my respects to Uncle Han. Uncle Han is polite. This..."
"Stop giving me such a sour gift. You sit high in the hall, drink a lot of wine and eat meat to please me. If you do this again, I will kick you out!"
"Yes, Uncle Han..." Wang Junlin smiled bitterly in his heart, but he was good-natured and had a humble attitude.
When they arrived at the hall used by the Han Mansion to entertain guests and hold night banquets, Wang Junlin discovered that Sun Sheng, the general of Zuowei, and Yang Lin, the patron king, were also here, so he came forward to see them one by one.
The banquet in the Han Mansion was very consistent with his status as a military commander. It was bold and unrestrained. The wine was a large bowl of Sanlejiang, and the meat was beef, venison, and a whole chicken cooked into large pieces.
Although cattle were equally valuable at this time, they were not as illegal as during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty decades later when privately slaughtering cattle was illegal.
