Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 24
"I am really sorry that I have troubled the young lady because I have failed. Today I must let the young lady sit down and have a good two drinks."

The Queen Mother was extremely happy in her heart. She thought that she could no longer bring about this good thing from the high official Ximen.

So I can no longer get other benefits, so all thoughts are lost.

However, the surprise came so suddenly!

"That's okay. Anyway, Ying'er is watching at home. It's a serious matter for me to help my godmother make clothes."

Pan Jinlian said as she followed Po Wang to sit at the table.

Wang Po was busy making a pot of walnut and pine nut tea and handed it to the woman respectfully.

The woman had a smile on her face, and when Po Wang wasn't paying attention, she secretly looked under Po Wang's bed.

When she turned her gaze, Earl Ying, who was hiding under the bed, took a clear look and stretched out a finger through the gap between the sheets.

When the woman saw Earl Ying's finger moving up and down and hooking it back and forth, she smiled knowingly.

Wang Po quickly took out the white silk and cut it together with the woman.

After cutting it, the woman took some measurements and then took some needle and thread from the side to sew.

"The little lady is really good at needlework! I have lived till my temples turned gray, and I have never met anyone as clever and clever as the little lady!"

Wang Po quickly gave a thumbs up and said flatteringly.

It was around Sipai time when the woman arrived at Mrs. Wang's house, and she sewed all the way until noon.

Grandma Wang took out two hundred coins from a brocade box placed beside the bed.

He said to the woman: "Little lady, I will buy two jugs of good wine right now and have a good drink with you."

But when did this princess spend a penny of her own money to help others?

Earl Ying, who was hiding under the bed, saw the two hundred coins tightly held in her hand, and his grip was almost melting.

But he always stood at the door and did not move a step.

Earl Ying knew very well that the old woman was waiting for Ximen Qing to come.

Soon, Ximen Qing knocked on the door and came in.

It seemed that as soon as the old woman invited Pan Jinlian, she had secretly sent someone to Ximen Qing's house to invite Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing had already longed for Pan Jinlian. Seeing that this day had finally arrived, he wore gold and silver, held a paper fan, and walked all the way to Zishi Street.

Wang Po slapped her thigh and said with a smile: "Who did I think was here? It turns out to be a high official!"

"I came just in time, I was just about to buy food and wine to have a drink with this little lady who is helping to make clothes!"

Ximen Qing looked at Pan Jinlian, a woman with green eyes, and saw that this beautiful woman just met his eyes and slowly lowered her head.

"It's a rare time for me to come to my godmother's place, and I happened to meet the little lady with whom I have some grudges. I will pay for today's drinks."

As Ximen Qing spoke, he took out eight or nine taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Wang.

As soon as Wang Po saw the money, she was as happy as a fairy. She deliberately teased: "A high-ranking official can only be kind and kind, so how can he have some grudges with the little lady?"

Ximen Qing was already full of self-confidence. Seeing that Pan Jinlian was so close now, he could succeed either today or tomorrow.

So he told the story of the woman who accidentally dropped the bamboo pole on his head that day with a cheerful face.

After all, the entire process had been planned in advance by Earl Ying.

Because he was very familiar with the hidden secrets, Earl Ying had already communicated with Pan Jinlian in advance what Ximen Qing would say when he met Pan Jinlian for the first time.Although Pan Jinlian's face was full of apology and she said, "Don't blame me, the official." But in her heart, she couldn't help but secretly admire Earl Ying's intelligence.

After all, every word Ximen Qing said was exactly the same as what Earl Ying had said before.

"Oh! Little lady, I really didn't know that you and this high official had such an adventure!"

"Did you know? This high-ranking official is a wealthy man in our Qinghe County. The county magistrate also has a lot of dealings with him on weekdays."

"The family has a lot of gold and silver, and they opened a herbal medicine shop right in front of the county gate. The eldest lady in his family was also the matchmaker in the past, and she is the eldest lady in Wu Qianhu's family..."

The old lady kept chattering for a while, telling the woman truthfully how rich and well-established Ximen Qing's family was.

After all, Ximen Qing was determined to win Pan Jinlian, so he took out whatever he had in his arms and gave it to Pan Jinlian.

Of course, no matter how hard it was, I would never have thought that this woman already had her heart set on her, and she had already entrusted her body and mind to Earl Ying.

How could there be such a small piece of land in my heart that could accommodate him, Ximen Qing?
Besides, this woman is currently having a heated fight with Earl Ying, and the two of them are inseparable.

It sounds like they are evenly matched, and they are really in love with each other.

Mrs. Wang took the money Ximen Qing gave her to buy food and wine, but she didn't dare to delay too long on the way.

Ximen Qing was afraid that this wolf-like tiger would frighten the woman impatiently, so he came back as soon as he burned the incense.

During this time of burning incense, Ximen Qing continued to show his courtesy to Pan Jinlian.

Pan Jinlian just refused calmly and treated him with courtesy.

Ximen Qing felt very strange in his heart. It was said that this fairy-like little lady would stay beside the three-inch Dinggu tree bark day and night.

It must be very lonely.

I have been so courteous over and over again, but why has this little lady always turned a blind eye?

He was neither shy nor happy, he was just sewing the clothes stitch by stitch, as if he didn't even bother to look up at himself.

After Wang Po came back, she assessed the situation and then quietly put her hand tightly on her left cheek and rubbed it.

Ximen Qing remembered this secret code and knew that under Wang Po's observation, the success of this matter was not only five points, but six points.

Grandma Wang placed the fat goose, roast duck, cooked meat, and fruits she bought on the table one by one.

I poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Ximen Qing and the other to Pan Jinlian, and said with a smile: "I have both beauties and high-ranking officials here today. It's really wonderful."

Ximen Qing was anxious to have a drink with this woman, but after several attempts, the woman hesitated in every possible way.

Holding the wine glass, his eyes kept looking behind him.

Behind this woman was the bed where Earl Ying was hiding.

The woman was panicking. After all, Earl Ying had anticipated everything, and Earl Ying had already told her what to say and do.

But Earl Ying didn't expect the drinking aspect alone.

The woman was distracted for a moment and couldn't make up her mind.

At this moment, Ximen Qing was so anxious that he forced himself to have a drink with her.

Ximen Qing thought he was very cool and asked: "How young is the young lady?"

This woman was so resentful that she just said coldly: "25 years old."
