Strange Tales of the Ghosts

The third aunt didn't answer. She looked at her son and sighed: "Can't you do less things to make your father unhappy?"

"What did I do again?" When Geng Jinhua heard his third aunt say this, he couldn't remember what wrong thing he had done, nor did he think about Qingfeng's mother.

The third aunt had no choice but to point it out and asked: "What happened to the woman who was brought back from the brothel?"

"...You know everything...? Mother." Geng Jinhua was a little surprised. During these days, except for going to the street to buy medicine, he didn't go anywhere, and he never mentioned it to anyone, let alone Qingfeng. Qingfeng spent the whole day They are all in the small building, never leaving each other.

"You think you can hide it?"

"Who told you, mother?"

"If no one told you, you weren't going to tell mom? Have you been hiding it all this time?"

"That's not what I meant, I just didn't find the right time." Geng Jinhua replied with a smile. He knew that his third aunt loved him too much, so he spoke frankly.

The third aunt was too angry, neither annoyed nor annoyed, so she hurriedly asked: "Stop being so smiley, tell me quickly, what is going on?"

"Hmm..." Geng Jinhua nodded and told Qingfeng's life experience.

When the third aunt heard this, she stood up and asked loudly: "What did you say? That the woman picked up from the brothel is Qingfeng's biological mother?"

"Exactly, Qingfeng's mother was sold into a brothel by Qingfeng's father. In the past ten years, mother and daughter have not seen each other." Geng Jinhua replied.

This news is not good news for the third aunt. Master Geng was already angry with Geng Jinhua. It is no longer a good thing for a dignified young master to marry a maid. Now there is a scoundrel father and a wealthy man. Hualiu Bing’s mother, the third aunt is afraid that Master Geng will be pissed to death if she hears this.

"Then what are you going to do next?" The third aunt has been so angry that she has lost her temper. Now she just wants to help Geng Jinhua hide this matter and solve the matter. Otherwise, she doesn't know when Geng Jinhua will be able to return. Geng family.

Geng Jinhua thought for a while and then replied: "Qingfeng doesn't know that her mother has this disease yet. I want to wait and see if the disease can be cured. If it can't be cured, it can be considered as a filial piety."

"Let her live in a small building?"

"Of course, where else could I live?"

"No." The third concubine immediately retorted: "I have no objection to your filial piety, but Qingfeng's mother is determined not to live in the small building. If your father finds out about this, he will have to skin you."

"Isn't it better not to let him know?"

"You, you, if your father didn't know that you brought a woman back from the brothel, would I know? Besides, the Hualiu disease is not a wind-cold disease. There is hope that it can be cured. If it is infected with Qingfeng, what will happen to you two in the future? But what should I do? Do you want to piss your mother off to death?" The third aunt couldn't help but feel sad when she saw that her son only cared about Qingfeng and never thought about herself. Thinking about it, her son was fulfilling his filial piety to others and didn't care at all. Who can think of how worried I am without feeling chilled.

Geng Jinhua was a filial man, and he didn't want to make his third aunt too angry, so he said awkwardly: "Mom, just this once, I will listen to you from now on, okay? Dad, help me talk to you, I know dad listens best It’s yours.”

Geng Jinhua did not expect that Qingfeng's mother heard the conversation between their mother and son. Only then did Qingfeng's mother know that her son-in-law came from a wealthy family. Originally, she should be happy that her daughter could have such a good home, but Now she was even more hindered because of her. The words "Hualiu Disease" were deeply imprinted in Qingfeng's mother's heart. She knew exactly what kind of disease it was. In order not to drag her daughter down, she struggled to get up.

With a splash, a splash of water rose from the lake. The water droplets hit the lake surface, forming a circle and spreading in all directions. At this time, Qingfeng came in with tea and asked with a smile: "Jinhua, what's the sound?" "

Geng Jinhua was not deaf, so of course he heard it. He hurriedly walked in and saw that the bed was empty. He looked at the open window again, and before he had time to think about it, Geng Jinhua jumped from the window into the lake. The third aunt came up and exclaimed: "Jinghua!"

"Mother..." At this moment, Qingfeng came in and saw the empty bed. For a moment, Qingfeng's mind went blank.

By the time Geng Jinhua rescued Qingfeng's mother ashore, the already frail woman had stopped breathing. Qingfeng's legs softened and he knelt in front of the body.

"mother….."

Geng Jinhua shed tears of regret. He knew that Qingfeng's mother must have heard the conversation between him and her mother and was so troubled. He didn't know how to explain to Qingfeng.

When the third aunt saw this situation, she was a little panicked and could only stay there...

Qingfeng's mother died and everything was solved. In the heart of the third aunt, she still felt that she owed Qingfeng something. After all, Qingfeng's mother's jump had solved a lot of trouble for the Geng family. In order to make up for Qingfeng, the third aunt whispered in Master Geng's ears day and night. Finally, Master Geng recognized Qingfeng and took Geng Jinhua and Qingfeng home. She still lived in Geng Jinhua's old house, with maids and servants waiting on her. Her days were much more leisurely. During her free time, Qingfeng also learned to embroider. Under the guidance of her third concubine, she embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks. Qingfeng wanted to say He made the pair of mandarin ducks into pillows and wanted to show Geng Jinhua the embroidery. Unexpectedly, he went to the study and saw that Geng Jinhua was not in the study. This was not the first time that Qingfeng began to feel that something was wrong with Geng Jinhua. She couldn't explain it. After Qingfeng's mother died, Qingfeng felt that Geng Jinhua seemed to be avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't know the reason.

Things were as she thought. Geng Jinhua was indeed avoiding Qingfeng. Although Qingfeng's life was better now, he felt guilty in his heart. This guilt made him feel very uncomfortable when facing Qingfeng, so he gradually fell in love with Qingfeng. Restaurant. From time to time, go alone

He would drink a few drinks in a restaurant late at night before going home. Most of the time, when he came home, Qingfeng had already fallen asleep, which made him feel more at ease.

One day, Geng Jinhua came to the restaurant to hide from Qingfeng. The waiter in the restaurant greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Master Geng, are you still a Huadiao today?"

"Yes." Geng Jinhua nodded and found a seat to the side and sat down.

There were not many people at night. Looking at it, there were only two or three tables of guests. Geng Jinhua was drinking alone. He felt a little dizzy while drinking, but he had no intention of going home. At this time, from the restaurant A person came in, wearing silk clothes, with a pearl necklace hanging around her neck, and her eyebrows hinting at coquettishness. This person was Hua Mei Hongxiu from Yichun Courtyard. She didn't look at anyone else. She stared at Geng Jinhua as soon as she came in and smiled. Finally, he walked towards this side and asked delicately: "Aren't you bored drinking alone?"
