Snowflakes are falling one after another, like Qionghua broken jade. Lin Zige walked out of the study slowly, ready to admire the snow and recite poems. Suddenly, a girl ran over in a panic and bumped into him. The girl was terrified, and hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, save me quickly." While speaking, several servants with sticks in their hands shouted and chased after her. Lin Zige asked them what was going on. The leading servant replied: "Her name is Qingyi, and she was recently bought to serve the seventh wife. Because she broke something belonging to the wife, the wife ordered…" Seventh wife has always been harsh on servants, so she didn't wait for the lady. After finishing speaking, Lin Zige said impatiently: "I have explained it to your wife."
Lin Zige is the master's favorite only son, so when he told the master that he wanted to take Qingyi as a girl, the master readily agreed and said with a smile: "What is a girl? In the future, the Lin family's ten thousand wealth will be all yours." Yes." At this moment, Seventh Aunt cast a venomous look at the young man.
On this day, Lin Zige was playing the piano in the study, and Qing Yi came over with tea and stood aside to listen. After the song was over, Lin Zige saw how fascinated she was listening, and couldn't help asking her if she could play the piano. Qingyi smiled, sat down happily, flicked her fingers deftly with both hands, and there was a beautiful sound coming from the strings.
It turned out that Qingyi was also a lady of the family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially good at playing the piano. Just because my father was convicted and his home was ransacked, a poor daughter of a thousand gold was sold as a slave and suffered a lot under the hands of the seventh concubine. Fortunately, Lin Zige rescued her, and this is the end of suffering.
Since then, Lin Zige has a confidante. The two recited poems and painted paintings every day, talked about piano and chess, and were loving and harmonious.
Time flies, winter goes to spring, Lin Zige starts to take over some family business, he becomes busy, and the time to see Qingyi every day is pitifully seldom.
In the evening of this day, Lin Zige had some spare time and came to Qingyi's room. A melodious sound of the piano came from the house, and the tunes were full of loneliness and sadness. Lin Zige felt sour and hurried in. Seeing him suddenly, Qingyi was startled, and broke one of the strings of the zither with a raised hand. Seeing her distressed look, Lin Zige smiled and said, "I'll give you a good piano another day, and let it stay by your side instead of me."
Soon, Master Lin passed away, and all family affairs fell on Lin Zige, who was very busy. On this day, he went to work in other places, and it was already late when he returned, and he got lost while walking in the wilderness.
The servant pointed to some lights in the distance and said: "Look, there are people over there, why don't we rush there to stay." After approaching, they saw a tall mansion, and the owner warmly welcomed them to stay.
When he came to the courtyard, the Qingyue piano sound attracted Lin Zige's attention. He stopped and listened quietly. When the song was over, he couldn't help but comment on the skill of the piano player. As soon as he finished speaking, a little girl came over and asked him to meet his master—Miss Jiangzhu.
Through a layer of veil, Jiangzhu's beautiful figure looms, and she asks Lin Zige about Qin art. Lin Zige talked eloquently, hearing Jiangzhu nodding repeatedly, sighing inwardly: this Mr. Lin is really a bosom friend.
Lin Zige always remembered to give Qingyi a good piano, and begged: "The sound quality of the Guqin used by Miss is very good, I wonder if you can sell it to me, I would like to give it a lot of money."
Jiangzhu laughed and said: "The little girl and the young master hit it off right away, and they hit it off very much. I don't take any money from this piano, but give it to the young master." Lin Zige was overjoyed, and thanked him hurriedly. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhu continued, "But there is one more condition – the son must marry me."
Lin Zige was stunned, so he had no choice but to tell the story of his love with Qingyi, and declined the marriage. Jiang Zhu walked out from behind the gauze curtain, and said softly: "Look carefully, am I not beautiful?"
Under the light, Crimson Pearl's bright eyes and white teeth are beyond fair. Lin Zige only took one look, but dared not to look again: "Although the young lady is more beautiful than Qingyi, and her talent is better than her, but I still only love her." Jiangzhu felt ashamed and walked away disappointed.
Back home, Lin Zige decided to marry Qingyi as soon as possible. On a good day, a bridal sedan chair carried the bride into the Lin family. In the lively atmosphere, Lin Zige and the bride worshiped heaven and earth and entered the bridal chamber. However, the moment he closed the door, his eyes widened in surprise—two identical brides appeared in front of him. What is going on?
There is only one real bride, and Lin Zige decided to distinguish it by playing the piano. He is most familiar with the sound of Qingyi's piano, and he can tell the truth from the first time he hears it. Two bead curtains separate a pair of brides, each holding a zither, and start a competition. Lin Zige sat in the middle and listened carefully. The bride on the left played a song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River", and the bride on the right played a song "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms".
Lin Zige suddenly remembered that when he was away from home, Qingyi was often worried about him, and he once composed a song "Lovesickness" by himself, played and sang. Thinking of this, he ordered the two to play this piece of music. The bride on the left put her hands on the qin, and a piece of "Lovesickness" flowed from the strings, which made Lin Zige burst into tears. Then, the bride on the right stretched out her fingers, and the same tune reached Lin Zige's ears. Lin Zige didn't wait for her to finish playing, he stood up and took the bride's hand on the left and said, "This is the real Qingyi, only she can play the real lovesickness rhythm."
Silver bell-like laughter sounded, and the other bride changed back to her original appearance, which turned out to be Jiangzhu. She presented an expensive gift to the couple, and praised: "You guys are really affectionate!"
Qingyi took Jiangzhu's hand and said with infinite joy: "My sister plays the piano really well, you will come over often to learn piano skills with me in the future." Jiangzhu smiled and agreed, and then turned into a puff of smoke and left. Lin Zi didn't expect that Jiang Zhu turned out to be a fairy sister.
From then on, Jiangzhu often came to accompany Lin Zige when he was not at home. On this day, the two sisters were happy for a while and drank a lot of wine. Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Jiang Zhu played her newly composed piece for Qing Yi to listen to. Qingyi was fascinated by what she heard, and closed her eyes comfortably, and was taken aback when she accidentally opened them. It turned out that Jiangzhu drank too much, and she showed her original shape. She turned into a red fox, and she was playing with her big tail with two sharp claws. And the sound of the zither came from above the fox tail, Qingyi was so frightened that she fainted.
After Seventh Auntie heard about this, she pretended to come and said that she could ask a Taoist to catch the fox. Qingyi felt that Jiangzhu had no malicious intentions, so she did not agree. Seventh Concubine walked away resentfully, but quietly pasted a charm by the door.
That night, in the dim moonlight, Jiangzhu came to find Qingyi to reminisce, just as she walked to the door, she was hit by a golden light suddenly with a "swish", she fell to the ground, showing her original shape. Seventh Aunt Tai's subordinates hurried over to catch her, locked her in a cage, and went to ask for help. When Qingyi heard about this, she hurried over…
Lin Zige was talking about business outside, when he heard that something happened at home, he rushed back day and night. However, he was still one step too late. The mourning hall has been set up at home, and Aunt Qi told him cryingly that Qingyi was killed by that vixen.
Lin Zige was furious, and he prepared a sword. If Jiangzhu appeared again with the ghost bride's accompaniment , he would never let her go lightly. On this day, Aunt Qi sent someone to call him in a panic, saying that the red fox was making a fuss in her room. Lin Zige picked up the sword and ran over. As soon as he entered the house, he was pinned to the ground by the ambushing people, arrested, and then he was turned away to the government in a daze.
Aunt Seven cried and told the county magistrate in the lobby that Lin Zige coveted her youth and beauty, and had molested her time and time again. She resolutely refused, but Lin Zige threatened him with a sword. The county magistrate had already collected money from the seventh wife, and Lin Zige was convicted of a felony and thrown into prison. All of the huge family property of the Lin family fell into the hands of Seventh Aunt.
On this day, the moon was shining like water, and the magistrate Zhang ordered his subordinates to hold a banquet in the garden to serve him, and even let his beloved concubine play music to add to the fun. Unexpectedly, the concubine played a piece of music that the adults had never heard before, and the sound of the piano was so sad that it made people cry. Master Zhang was also very sad when he heard it, but he couldn't bear to let her stop. At the end of the song, Master Zhang asked her what was on her mind. The concubine went forward and bowed deeply, and then reported that her cousin Lin Zige had been wronged at the moment and was suffering in a prison. Master Zhang was very angry when he heard about this. The next day I personally transferred the file to check and found many doubts. He decided to reopen the case.
It turned out that Qingyi couldn't bear to frame the red fox, so she opened the cage and let her go. In this way, Seventh Aunt was angered. Seventh Aunt had an affair with the butler on weekdays, so the butler ordered someone to kill Qingyi and put the blame on Red Fox. Poor Lin Zige didn't notice for a while and fell into the trap.
Master Zhang tried the case clearly, and Seventh Aunt and the housekeeper finally fell into the law. After Lin Zige returned home, he heard that Master Zhang's concubine had saved him, and he wondered why the ghost bride accompanied him, why had he never heard of such a cousin before? He brought a gift to thank him, and when the two met, Lin Zige was stunned, this woman was clearly Jiang Zhu.
Back home, Lin Zige had a strange dream. Jiangzhu came to him, and spit out a red pill from her mouth – this is the panacea she has practiced for thousands of years, and said that as long as Qingyi takes this medicine, she will be able to bring the dead back to life. After speaking, Jiang Zhu turned into a red fox and ran away.
After Lin Zige woke up, he found the red pill. He asked someone to dig up the grave, and Qingyi in the coffin looked as if alive, he put the red pill into the mouth of his beloved wife, after an hour, Qingyi woke up. The husband and wife bowed to the sky, thanking the red fox for saving his life.
Although Lin Zige didn't get the foxtail violin as a gift to his beloved wife in the end, Honghu's affection for the couple surpassed all the treasures in the world.
