Chapter 14 "Geng Niang"

Jin Dayong was a son of an old official family in Zhongzhou, and married the daughter of Taishou You, named Gengniang, who was both beautiful and virtuous, and the couple had a deep relationship.At that time, it was a year of war and chaos, and Jin Dayong's family was far away from their hometown and fled to the south.On the way, I met a young man who also fled with his wife. He claimed to be from Yangzhou, his name was Wang Shiba, and he was willing to lead the way.Jin Dayong was very happy, and the two families lived together. One day, when they came to a river, Geng Niang secretly told Jin Dayong, "Don't go on the same boat with that young man."He always stares at me, his eyes roll around, and his expression is abnormal, as if his mind is not right!Jin Dayong agreed.Wang Shiba graciously hired a large boat to help the Jin family carry their luggage, he was very busy and thoughtful.Jin Dayong couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, and thought that he still had a young woman with him, so there shouldn't be any problems.The young woman lives with Gengniang, and she also looks very docile and kind.Sitting on the bow of the boat, Wang Shiba talked intimately with the boatman, as if they were relatives and friends whom he had known for a long time.Not long after, the sun set, and the vast water surface stretched as far as the eye can see, making it difficult to distinguish east, west, north, south.When Jin Dayong saw the desolation and sinister surroundings, he was very puzzled.After the boat sailed for a while, the moon rose, and there were reeds everywhere.After the boat stopped, Wang Shiba invited Jin Dayong and his son to the bow of the boat to look at the scenery, and took the opportunity to squeeze Jin Dayong into the water.When Jin Dayong's father saw that he was about to shout, the boatman knocked him into the water with a pole.When Mother Jin heard the sound, she came out to check, but was kicked off the boat again. Only then did Wang Shiba call for help.When Mother of Jin came out just now, Gengniang was behind and had already noticed what happened just now.Hearing that the whole family fell into the river, he didn't panic. He just cried and said: "My parents-in-law are all drowned, where am I going?"Wang Shiba came in and advised her: Don't worry, lady, please go to Nanjing with me.My family has a house and land, and is very rich. I will ensure that you will not worry about food and clothing.Geng Niang stopped crying and said: If I can do this, I will be satisfied.Wang Shiba liked it very much, and served Gengniang attentively all the way.At night, Wang Shiba grabbed Gengniang to beg for sex, and Gengniang pretended to have menstruation, so Wang Shiba went to sleep with the young woman.At the beginning of the day, I only heard Wang Shiba and his wife quarrel, and for some unknown reason, I only heard the woman say: You are afraid that the thunder will smash your head if you do this kind of thing!Wang Shiba beat the woman, and the woman shouted: "Forget it if you die!"I really don't want to be the wife of a murderer!Wang Shiba roared and dragged the woman out of the cabin, only heard a thud, and then heard the woman fall into the water.

A few days later, when they arrived in Nanjing, Wang Shiba led Gengniang back home and went to see his mother.The Queen Mother was surprised that she was no longer the original daughter-in-law.Wang Shiba said: The original daughter-in-law fell into the water and drowned, but this one is newly married.Back in the room, she wanted to get close to Geng Niang again, Geng Niang smiled and said: A man in his thirties still doesn't understand the world?Ordinary people have to drink a glass of beer when they get married; your family is so rich, of course it is not difficult to do so.If you don't feel a little bit drunk and act rashly, what will it look like?Wang Shiba was very happy and arranged a banquet, and the two sat opposite each other to drink.Geng Niang held the jug and tried to urge him to drink, Wang Shiba gradually became a little drunk, so he refused to drink.Gengniang changed the big bowl, smiled coquettishly and forced him to drink it, Wang Shiba couldn't bear to refuse, and drank it again, he couldn't help getting drunk, took off his clothes and fell asleep on the bed, urging Gengniang to sleep quickly.Gengniang took out the candles, excused herself to relieve herself, walked out of the room, and came in with a knife; she came to the bed in the dark, reached out to touch Wang Shiba's neck, Wang Shiba was still holding Gengniang's arm, and said affectionate words .Gengniang slashed down hard, but she didn't kill him, Wang Shiba screamed to get up; Gengniang slashed again, and Wang Shiba died.Seemingly hearing the noise, the Queen Mother came over to ask what happened, and Geng Niang killed her too.Wang Shiba's younger brother Wang Jiujiu found out, Gengniang knew that she would die, and immediately committed suicide with a knife.But the blade was curled and couldn't cut in, so she opened the door and ran out.When Wang Shijiu chased her out, she had already jumped into the pond.Nineteen hastily called the neighbors to bring Gengniang up, and found that she was dead, but her complexion was dignified and beautiful, as if she was still alive.Everyone examined Wang Shiba's body together and saw a letter on the window. When they opened it, it turned out that it was written by Gengniang. The letter described in detail the grievances of her family.Everyone thought Geng Niang was a strong woman, and they agreed to collect money for her funeral.After dawn, there were thousands of people who came to see Gengniang. Everyone admired and worshiped Gengniang.In one day, he collected hundreds of taels of silver.Well-meaning people bought her a beaded and crowned robe, gold and silver jewelry, a high-quality coffin and many funeral things, and buried her in the southern suburb cemetery.

At the beginning, after being squeezed into the water, Jin Sheng survived the catastrophe by floating on a piece of wood.At dawn, he floated on the Huaihe River and was rescued by a small boat.This boat was specially set up by the wealthy old man Yin to rescue the victims who fell into the water.After Jin Dayong woke up, he went to the door to thank him. The old man Yin treated him generously and wanted to keep him to teach his son to read.Kim Dayong wanted to visit his relatives because he didn't know any news about them, so he couldn't make up his mind whether to leave or stay.At this time, I heard: The drowned old man and old mother were fished out.Suspecting that it was his parents, Jin Dayong hurried to see it, and it was indeed good.The old man Yin bought the coffin on his behalf. Jin Dayong was crying bitterly, and he heard that he saved a woman who fell into the water and claimed that Jin Dayong was her husband.Jin Dayong wiped away his tears and ran out in surprise, the woman had already arrived.It wasn't Gengniang, but Wang Shiba's wife, who burst into tears to Jin Dayong, begging to take her in.Jin Dayong said: I'm in a mess, so I don't have the heart to think about it for you!The woman cried even harder.The old man Yin asked the reason, saying that it was God's retribution, and advised Jin Dayong to take the woman as his wife.Jin Dayong used the excuse of mourning, and also planned to take revenge, fearing that having a family would be a burden.The woman said: If, as you said, if Gengniang was still alive, would you abandon her for revenge?The old man Yin felt that the woman's words were reasonable, so he proposed to temporarily take in the woman on behalf of Jin Dayong, and he reluctantly agreed.When Dayong buried his parents, the woman wore a sackcloth and filial piety, crying very sadly, as if it was her own parents-in-law who died.After finishing the funeral, Jin Da used a sharp knife in his pocket to carry the food and bowl, and went to Yangzhou for revenge.The woman persuaded him: My surname is Tang, my ancestral home is Nanjing, and I am from the same town as that jackal.In the past, when he said he was from Yangzhou, he was lying; besides, most of the water bandits in the rivers and lakes were his accomplices. If you go like this, you may not be able to avenge yourself, and you may even cause trouble.Hearing what she said, Jin Dayong hesitated.At this time, it suddenly came out that Lie Nv murdered and took revenge. This story was widely circulated along the river, and the surnames were very detailed.Jin Dayong was very happy to hear that, but even more saddened to know that Gengniang had died.He thanked Tang and said: Fortunately, I didn't do anything to humiliate you.There is such a strong woman in my family, how can I bear her to marry another!Because they had a husband and wife agreement before, Tang refused to leave halfway, and was willing to be a concubine.

It happened that there was a deputy general surnamed Yuan who had a deep friendship with the old man Yin. He passed by here and went west to visit the old man Yin.After a while, the bandits rebelled, and General Yuan made great contributions.Jin Dayong was awarded the post of guerrilla officer because of his meritorious service as a military counselor. Only then did he marry the Tang family.A few days later, Jin Dayong took the Tang family to Nanjing to visit Gengniang's grave.Just after passing Zhenjiang, I want to climb Jinshan.When the boat arrived in the middle of the river, suddenly a small boat came over.There was an old mother and a young woman in the boat, Jin Dayong was surprised that the young woman looked like Geng Niang.When the boat passed by, the young woman peeped at Jin Dayong from the window, her expression was more like Gengniang.Jin Dayong was startled but didn't dare to ask further questions, so he hurriedly called out, "Look at that duck flying into the sky!"The young woman also shouted after hearing this: "Does the greedy dog ​​want to eat the smell of cats?"This is what the couple joked about in the boudoir back then.Jin Dayong was shocked, and went back to the boat to catch up and take a closer look, she was really Gengniang.The girl helped Gengniang to the boat, the two hugged each other and cried loudly, and the people on the same boat were also very sad.The Tang family paid respects to Gengniang as his wife, and Gengniang asked in amazement, only then did Jin Dayong explain the reason in detail.Gengniang took Tang's hand and said: "When we were on the same boat, we often couldn't forget the conversation, and unexpectedly we became a family."Thanks to you burying my in-laws on my behalf, I should thank you first, how can we meet with this kind of etiquette?So in terms of age, Tang's Xiao Gengniang is one year old, and the two are called sisters.

It turned out that after Geng Niang was buried, she didn't know how long it had passed, when she suddenly heard someone calling her, "Geng Niang, your husband is not dead, you should be reunited again."Then it was like waking up from a dream, touching the walls all around with my hands, and then I realized that I was buried.I just feel bored and panic, and there is no pain.A few evil young men discovered that Gengniang was buried with rich objects, so they dug up the grave and broke the coffin, and were about to search for them, when they saw that Gengniang was still alive, both of them were shocked and terrified.Gengniang was afraid that they would harm her, so she begged, "Thanks to your coming, I can see the light of day again."Take all the jewelry on my head. Please sell me to the nunnery to become a nun. You can also get some money. I will not tell others about it.The tomb robber kowtowed and said: The lady is a chaste woman, admired by both gods and men.The little people are just poor and have nothing to do, so they can do this shameful thing.As long as you don't tell us, we will be grateful, how dare you sell you as a nun?Geng Niang said: This is what I want.Another tomb robber said: Zhenjiang has Mrs. Geng, who is a widow and has no children. If she sees her, she will be very happy.Geng Niang thanked them, took off the jewelry herself, and gave them all.The tomb robbers didn't dare to accept it, so Gengniang gave it to them again and again before thanking them for accepting it.Then they hired a car and boat, and took Geng Niang to Mrs. Geng's house, assuming that she got lost in the wind on the boat.Mrs. Geng is a wealthy family, living alone as a widow, she likes Geng Niang very much, and regards Geng Niang as her own daughter.Just now the mother and son came back from Jinshan.Geng Niang narrated her experience, and Jin Dayong went to see Mrs. Geng across the boat.Mrs. Geng treated him like her own son-in-law, and invited Jin Dayong to her home, staying for several days before leaving.Since then, the two have been in constant communication.

Yi Shi's comment: In the face of major changes, the bad guys live and the good guys die.The popularity of the living makes others' eyes bigger, and the dead people's tears make others' eyes red.As for talking and laughing without surprise, killing enemies with one hand, how many of the great men throughout the ages can compare with Gengniang!Who said that a woman is inferior to a man? 【original】 Jin Dayong is also the son of the old family in Zhongzhou.Hire You Taishounv, named Gengniang, beautiful and virtuous.It's so good.With the rebellion of bandits, the family left [ㄊㄧ'; the same word; stay away].Jin fled south with his family.On the way, he met a young man who fled with his wife. He said to himself that the eighteenth king of Guangling wanted to be a pioneer.Jinxi, everything goes with everything.On the river, Nvyin told Jin, saying: "Don't be in the same boat with a young man. He keeps looking at me, his eyes move and his face changes, and he is unpredictable."Jin Nuozhi.Wang Qinqin looked for a huge boat, shipped it on behalf of gold, and worked hard to get it.Jin couldn't bear it.I also thought that he had a young woman with him, but there should be no other.The wife and Geng Niang live together, and the meaning is quite gentle.Wang sat on the bow of the boat and talked with the scull man, seeming to know Qi Hao very well.Not long after, the sun sets, the water travels far and wide, and the north and the south are not distinguishable.Jin looks around in danger, quite suspicious.In a short while, the bright moon is rising, and there are reeds in sight.Now that it was parked, Wang invited Jin and his son to leave the house to open the door, and squeezed the gold into the water by taking advantage of the time.Jin has an old father, and he wants to call him when he sees it.The people in the boat built it with punt poles, and they drowned.The birth mother peeped out after hearing the sound, and drowned it again.Wang Shi called for help.When the mother came out, Geng Niang was behind, and had already glimpsed her.Hearing that the whole family was drowned, he was not surprised, but cried and said: "Weng Gu is gone, I will return home in peace!"Wang Jin persuaded: Don't worry, lady, please come to Jinling from me.The fields and huts at home are quite enough to support, and there is no danger.The woman received tears and said: "If this is the case, wishing is enough."Wang Dayue, to Feng Liangyin.At dusk, drag a girl to court.Female support body concubine [ㄅ ㄢ'; menstruation], Wang Nai stays with women.At the end of the first shift, the couple competed noisyly for no reason.But Wen Fu said: If you do this, the thunder may break your skull!Wang Nai's wife.The woman shouted: "I will die!"I really don't want to be a murderer and a thief!The king roared in anger, and the wife came out.Hearing the sound of the antique, he complained that the woman was drowning.

Not long after, I arrived in Jinling, guided Gengniang to her home, and went to the hall to see her.I am surprised that she is not an old woman.Wang Yan: My wife fell into the water and died, and I married this ear.Going home, wanting to commit another crime.Geng Niang laughed and said: "Thirty men, have you not been humanized yet?"When the city's children first get together, they also need a glass of thin wine; your family is fertile, and it is not difficult immediately.Sober relative, what kind of body is it?Wang Xi, with wine to drink.Geng Niang held the title, persuading and rewarding Yin Ken.Wang Jian got drunk and refused to drink.Geng Niang cited the giant bowl and persuaded her with a strong charm.The king couldn't bear to refuse, so he drank it again.So drunk, naked to promote sleep.Gengniang withdrew the device to extinguish the candle, and drowned under the pretext of drowning; when she left the room, she entered with a knife, and secretly demanded the king's item with her hands, and the king still grabbed his arm as a whisper.Gengniang cut it with all her strength, and she raised her trumpet without dying; she waved it again, and began to kill.The woman seems to have heard about it, and if she asks about it, she also kills her.The nineteenth brother of the king felt it.Geng Niang knew it was unavoidable, so she killed herself in a hurry; the knife was blunt [ㄐㄩㄝ] and she couldn't enter, so she opened the house and ran.Nineteen chasing it, it has been thrown into the pool; calling the residents; saving it is dead, and the color is as beautiful as life.A total of Wang's corpse was examined, and he saw a letter on the window. When he opened his eyes, the woman prepared a statement of his grievances.The group thought it was fierce, and tried to collect funds for funerals.At dawn, thousands of people gathered to watch; seeing its appearance, they all worshiped it.All day long, he got a hundred gold, so he was buried in the southern suburbs.For those who do good things, they wear pearl crowns and robes, which are full and plump.

At the beginning, Jin Sheng's drowning was also on the floating board, so he could not die.Jiang Xiao went to the Huai River and was rescued by a small boat.Yin Weng, a rich man with a boat cover, specially designed it to save those who died.Jin Jisu, Yi Weng Shen Xie.Weng Youhouzhi studied abroad to teach his son.Jin will go to visit because he doesn't know his relatives, so he doesn't decide.Russia and Belarus: catch the dead old man and the wife.Jin suspected that they were his parents, but the test turned out to be true.The coffin of Weng Daiying.Shengfang mourns, and white: save a drowning woman, and say that gold gave birth to her husband.Sheng waved his tears and was startled, and the woman had arrived, not Gengniang, but an eighteen-year-old woman.Cry to Jin, please don't give up.Jin said: "My square inch is already in chaos, so why do I have time to seek someone?"Women are sad.Yin examines his cause, and he is happy to be a reward for heaven, and persuades Jin to accept women.Jin used the funeral as his excuse, and he will take revenge, fearing that the weak will be tired.The woman said: As the king said, Tuo Gengniang is still here, and she will go to the funeral for revenge?Weng said that he was kind, so please adopt him temporarily, and Jin promised it.Buried Wenggu, the woman will cry like mourning Wenggu.After the burial, Jin took a beggar with a knife and went to Guangling.The woman stopped and said: "Concubine Tang, whose ancestral home is in Jinling, lives in the same hometown as jackals, whoever speaks of Guangling in the foreword is a fraud."Moreover, the water bandits in the rivers and lakes, and the half-Iranian party, can't recover their hatred, and only take their troubles.Jin Wandering didn't know what to do, and suddenly it was reported that women were punishing enemies, and the river was full of names.The resigned wife said: "Fortunately, I am not insulted."There is a strong woman in the family like this, why bear to marry again?The woman said that she had a successful career, and she refused to divorce, and would like to live as a concubine.

There will be deputy general Yuan Gong, who has an old relationship with Yin, and he will go west to pass Yin; see him, know each other and love him, please be a recorder.No matter what, the rogue bandits violated obedience, and Yuan Youdaxun; Jin Yi participated in the maintenance of the aircraft, explained the labor, and gave the guerrilla to return.It's a ceremony for couples to get married.After staying for a few days, I took my wife to Jinling, where I will exhibit Gengniang's tomb.Passing through Zhenjiang for a while, I want to climb Jinshan.In the middle of the Yangzhou boat, a boat passed by, and there was a woman and a young woman in it. It is strange that the young woman is quite like Geng Niang.As the boat passed by, the woman peeped at the gold from the window, her expression improved.Surprised and afraid to ask, he shouted anxiously: "Look at the ducks flying into the sky!"When the young woman heard it, she also shouted: "Greedy dog ​​[ㄨㄛ; puppy] wants to eat cats!"Covering the hidden jokes in the boudoir back then.Jin was shocked, and turned back to approach him, Zhen Gengniang.Tsing Yi helped across the boat, hugged each other and wept, traveling sadly.The Tang family met Gengniang with the rites of a concubine.Geng Niang asked in surprise, and Jin Shi prepared to explain the reason.Gengniang held her hand and said: "The words in the same boat will never be forgotten in my heart. I don't want Wuyue's family."For the funeral of Wenggu in Mongolia, the first thanks should be given. Why do we face each other with this ceremony?In order of teeth, Tang Shaogeng's mother was one year old, and her younger sister.

First of all, since Gengniang was buried, I don't know how many years it has been.Suddenly a person shouted: "Gengniang, if your husband is not dead, you should be reunited."Then it was like waking up from a dream.When you touch it, there are walls on all sides, and you realize that you are dead and buried.I just feel bored, and I don't have any pain.There are evil young people who peep at the rich and beautiful burial utensils, and when the tomb is broken, they will search and collect them. Seeing that Gengniang is still alive, they are terrified together.Gengniang feared that she would harm herself, and said in mourning, "Fortunately, you have come so that I can see the light of day."The hairpin on the head is about to go.May I be a nun, but less straight.I don't vent it either.Pirate Jishou said: "My lady is chaste and strong, and God and man are admired together."The little people are poor and have nothing to do, so it is unkind to do this.But there are no omissions, fortunately, how dare you be a nun!Gengniang said: "I am happy with this."Another robber said: "Madam Geng of Zhenjiang is widowed and childless. If she sees her, she will be overjoyed."Thank you Gengniang.Pull out the bead ornaments by yourself, and pay the robbers.Thieves dare not accept it; if they stick to it, they worship and accept it together.Then he took it to Mrs. Geng's house, and asked that he was fascinated by the wind.Mrs. Geng, a wealthy family, is a widow.Seeing Gengniang was overjoyed, she thought she was born.It is suitable for the mother and son to return from Jinshan.Geng Niang told the story.Jin Nai boarded a boat to worship his mother, and the mother's money was like a son-in-law.Invite them home and stay for a few days before returning.Afterwards, there was no end to contact.

Yi Shi said: In the face of great changes, the prostitutes will live, and the chaste will die.The living cracked the canthus, and the dead snowman burst into tears.As long as you talk and laugh without being surprised, and kill enemies with your hands, among the eternally strong husbands, how many couples are there!Who is called a woman, so it is incomparable to trace Yanyun [Dugu Yanyun, who participated in the change of Xuanwumen]?
