Chapter 13 Sister Li Ping secretly makes a secret appointment with Yingchun Er

The word says: The hibiscus with embroidered face smiles, and the duck flies obliquely to line the fragrant cheeks.Eye movements are guessed.

On the one hand, the style is deep and rhyme, and on the other hand, it is full of love and hatred.The moon moves and the flower shadow makes an appointment again.

It is said that one day Ximenqing came to the front and went to Yueniang's room.Yue Niang said: "Today, the Hua family sent a servant to bring you a post and treat you to wine."

Ximenqing watched the post and wrote: "Wu Yin's family in the afternoon courtyard will tell you, and I hope you will go with me, absolutely!"

After a while, he picked out his clothes and hats, called two followers, rode on a fine horse, and went to Hua's house first.I don't want Hua Zixu to be away from home.His wife, Li Ping'er, was wearing a silver silk bun, a gold inlaid Ziying pendant, a pair of lotus root silk shirts, and a white gauze skirt with thread borders, and a pair of red mandarin phoenix feet with pointed beaks exposed on the skirt, Standing on the platform of the second gate.That Ximen Qingsan walked in without knowing it, and bumped into his chest twice.Ximenqing has been paying attention to this for a long time, although he met once in the old village, he never played with it carefully.Today I met face to face, and saw that he was very fair, with short stature, melon seed face, and two eyebrows with thin bays.The woman returned the blessing, turned around and went to the back.Bring out a maid with eyebrow-like hair, named Xiuchun, and invite Ximen Qing to sit inside.He stood at the head of the corner door, half showing his charming face, and said: "Your official, sit down for a while. He just went out for some trivial matters, so he will come."

The maid brought out a cup of tea, and Ximen Qing ate it.The woman said through the door: "Today he invited the senior officials to go over there to have a drink, at least to see the face of the slave, and persuade him to go home early. The two servants followed again, only the two maids and Slave, there is no one at home."

Ximen Qing said: "Sister-in-law is right, brother's family matters are important. Since sister-in-law has ordered me, I will definitely go and come with brother."

Just as she was talking, Hua Zixu came home, and the woman went back to her room.Seeing Ximen Qing Xuli, Huazi said: "Brother Meng is descending, the younger brother has to go out for some trivial matters, sorry for your disappointment!"

So the guests and the host sat down, and asked the young man to watch tea.After a while, let's have some tea.He also ordered the servant: "Tell your mother, come and see the dishes, and Ximen dad and I will have three cups and get up. Today, June 24, is sister Wu Yin's birthday in the courtyard. Please come and have fun with me."

Ximen Qing said, "Second brother, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Immediately ordered Dai'an: "Go home quickly and ask for five silver coins to seal it."

Hua Zixu said: "Brother, why do you bother? My little brother is gone."

Ximen Qing saw the tables on the left and right, and said, "You don't need to sit down, let's eat inside."

Hua Zixu said: "Don't dare to stay for a long time, brother sit down for a while."

Shaoqing, that is, the whole set of delicacies will be brought up, silver sunflower clocks on high feet, three clocks per person, and four burritos, after eating, take them down and eat them immediately.

After Shaoqing, Dai'an took a share of the money, got up and mounted the horse together, and went to Wu Sima's house to celebrate Wu Yin'er's birthday.There, flowers are gathered, singing and dancing, playing bombs, and drinking until one o'clock.Ximen Qing paid attention and got Zixu drunk.And because of Li Ping'er's begging, he came home with him.The boy called to open the door and helped him to sit down in the guest seat.Li Ping'er and the servant girl came out with candles in hand, and helped Zixu in.

Ximenqing understands the delivery and is about to report back.The woman walked out, thanked Ximenqing, and said: "I am a poor man who is greedy for wine, tired and despised by his servants. When my aunt comes home, the officials don't want to laugh at me."

Then Ximen Qing hurriedly bent down and returned, saying: "Don't dare. My sister-in-law ordered here, I dare not forget it deeply, and come home with my brother! It's not only my sister-in-law who is worried, it seems that I can't do things anymore. Brother Cai was at his house just now. , being entangled by those people, I forced my brother to get up. I walked to the house of Zheng Aixianger, the fan head of Lexingtanger, ── Zheng Guanyin, who was born in a good-looking character by nickname, I was going to his house , was stopped by me again and again, and persuaded him: "I'm afraid my sister-in-law at home is worried." Just now I have been coming home. If I go to Zheng's house, I will not come for a night. Sister-in-law, I shouldn't say it, brother is also confused, and sister-in-law is young , such a big family, why did you lose it and stay away all night? What's the reason!"

The woman said: "That's right. I'm waiting outside because of him. I don't listen to others. I'm also angry and sick here. In the future, when the officials and men meet him in the courtyard, they will look down on the slave and persuade him. Go home early. Nu En has repaid, dare not forget."

This Ximen Qing is the one who hit the floor on the head and the soles of his feet slammed. He has been walking for many years, and he doesn't know what's going on?Today, the woman has clearly opened a road and taught him to enter Hong Kong. Wouldn't it be easy to save!So he said with a smile all over his face: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about! Why do you make friends? I must try my best to remonstrate with you, sister-in-law, don't worry."

The woman said Wanfu again, and asked the little maid to bring a cup of tea with nuts.Ximenqing ate Bicha and said, "I'll go back, sister-in-law is careful."

So he said goodbye and went home.

Since then, Ximen Qing has made peace of mind to plan and scheme against this woman, and has repeatedly settled Ying Earl and Xie Xida's group, hanging Zixu in the courtyard to drink and spend the night.Then he came home and stood at the door.This woman often leads two servant girls at the door.When Ximenqing saw it, he raised his voice and coughed, walked eastward and westward again, or stood at the opposite door, keeping his eyes on the door.The figure of the woman was inside the door, and when she saw him coming, she dodged inside, and when she saw him pass by, she poked her head again.The two stages of eyes, mind and heart are self-evident.One day, Ximen Qing was standing at the door when he suddenly saw the little maid Xiuchun come to invite him.Ximen Qing deliberately asked: "What do you want me to do, sister? Is your father at home?"

Xiuchun said: "My father is not at home, mother asked Ximen Qing's father to ask a question."

Ximen Qing made a loud noise, hurried over and sat down in the guest seat.After a long time, the woman came out, said Wanfu, and said: "The day before yesterday, I received a lot of kindness from the officials, and I engraved it in my heart, and I can't feel it. He went out yesterday and hasn't come home for two days. I don't know that the officials have seen him. Never?"

Ximen Qing said: "He had wine with three or four at Zheng's house yesterday, and I came by accident because of some trivial matter. I didn't have to go in today, so I don't know if he is still there. If I were there, my sister-in-law might be worried. Didn't you urge me to come home early?"

The woman said: "That's exactly what I said. I don't listen to what people say, and I don't care about family affairs when I sleep outside."

Ximen Qing said: "As far as brother is concerned, it's good in terms of benevolence and righteousness, but there is one thing."

Saying that, the little maid brought tea to eat.Ximenqing is afraid that his son will come home in vain, and he dare not love for a long time, so he will report back.The woman urged Ximen Qing again and again, "No matter where you go, at least persuade him to come home early, the slave will definitely repay your kindness, and I will never forget the official!"

Ximen Qing said: "My sister-in-law didn't say that my brother and I got along like that!"

After finishing speaking, Ximen Qing went to his house.

The next day, when Hua Zixu came home from the courtyard, the woman complained again and again: "You are drinking and lusting outside, thanks to the senior officials at the Ximen next door, you came home twice and thrice. You buy a gift, thank you He won't lose his favor."

That Hua Zixu hurriedly bought four boxes of gifts and a jug of wine, and sent the servant Tian Fu'er to Ximen Qing's house.Ximenqing accepted it, and rewarded the visitor with a generous reward.Wu Yueniang asked, "How did the Hua family give you this gift?"

Ximen Qingdao: "Second Brother Hua invited us to celebrate Wu Yin'er's birthday in the courtyard the day before yesterday. I helped him to come home when he was drunk. I also saw that Changshi urged him to sleep overnight and come home early. His wife is grateful for this. I want to tell Second Brother Hua about my love, so I bought this gift to thank me."

After hearing this, Wu Yueniang interrogated him and said, "My brother, take care of yourself, and the clay Buddha persuades the earth Buddha! You don't have a home all day long, and you adopt women and women outside, and you persuade other men instead!"

Then he said, "Don't you accept his gift in vain?"

Because he asked: "Whose name is written in his post? If it is his wife's name, write my post today and ask his wife to come and sit down, he just wants to come to our house. If it is his man's name , as you please, I don't care about you."

Ximen Qing said: "It's the second brother Hua's name, I'll invite him tomorrow."

The next day, Ximen Qing really treated the wine, and invited Hua Zixu to come and drink for a day.After returning home, Li Ping'er said, "Don't miss out on etiquette. We gave him a gift, and he will treat you to a banquet. You should treat him to a banquet another day, just as a back banquet."

The time is fast, and it is early in the Double Ninth Festival in September.Huazi pretended to be a festival, called two prostitutes, and invited Ximen Qing to come and enjoy the chrysanthemum.He also invited Earl, Xie Xida, Zhu Shinian and Sun Tianhua to accompany him.Pass flowers and beat drums, and drink happily.There are poems to prove it: the black rabbit is busy like an arrow, and the festive season in the world is Double Ninth Festival.Thousands of mangroves make up the autumn colors, and the three-path yellow flowers spit out strange fragrances.

I don't see people in black hats climbing high, but I still want to hold wine Qi Luoniang.Xiulian looked at each other in secret, and never forgot their kindness and affection.

That day, after everyone was drinking and holding the lamps, Ximen Qing suddenly left the table and went outside to relieve his hands.Unexpectedly, Li Ping'er was standing beside the shade and peeking secretly, the two bumped into each other, Ximen Qing couldn't dodge in time.The woman went to the west corner gate, secretly made Xiuchun walk up to Ximenqing in the dark shadow, and said in a low voice: "My mother told me to tell Ximen's father to eat less wine and go home early. In the evening, mother is like this." I want to talk to Daddy Simon."

After hearing this, Ximen Qing was overjoyed.When Xiaojie came back, he didn't even eat wine at the banquet. He played and sang and handed wine, but pretended to be drunk and didn't eat.Seeing that it was one watch, Li Ping'er kept coming to Lianwai, and seeing Ximen Qing sitting on it, he just pushed to take a nap.Earl Ying and Xie Xida seemed to be nailed to a chair, unable to get up in vain.Zhu Shinian and Sun Zhizui also went after the boil, but the two of them still didn't move.Don't worry about Li Ping'er.Ximen Qing had already walked out, but Hua Zixu didn't let him go, and said: "Today, my brother is not respectful, why is he not willing to sit?"

Ximen Qing said: "I was drunk and couldn't eat."

So he deliberately staggered, and taught two helpers to go home.Earl Ying said: "For some reason today, he refused to drink in vain, and he became drunk after drinking a little. Since the owner is bothering, it's hard for the two sisters to be here. Bring the big clock, and we will come back every Thursday and fifty. Wheel, let it go."

Li Ping'er heard it from outside the curtain, scolding "the root of the slobbering face" endlessly.Secretly, Tian Xi'er, a servant, invited Hua Zixu to come and said, "Since you want to eat with this group of people, you should eat with me in the yard as soon as possible. Don't make noise at home. I'm in the middle of the night, cooking oil and burning fire, where I'm going to eat." patient!"

Hua Zixu said: "I'll go to their courtyard with them tonight, but I can't come home, don't bother me any more."

The woman said: "You go, I don't bother you."

The Huazi made a sound that was too much to say, and came to everyone and said, "Let's go to the courtyard."

Earl Ying said: "Really? Don't coax me. Go ask sister-in-law, so we can get up."

Zixu said: "The room has already said just now, teach me to come home tomorrow."

Xie Xi Dao said: "But come on, let's talk about Ying Huazi. Brother just now has been begging for old feet, so don't worry if we go."

So even the two singers got up and went into the courtyard together.At this time it was already the second watch, Tian Fu'er, Tian Xi'er, Hua Zixu and the other three went to Wu Yin'er's house in the back alley to have a drink.

Shan Biao Ximen Qingtui got home drunk, went to the Golden Lotus Room, just took off his clothes, went to sit in the front garden, and Shan waited for Li Ping'er to invite him.For a long time, I only heard that the dog was being chased and the door was closed.After a while, I saw the servant girl Yingchun pawing at the wall in the dark shadow, pushing and calling the cat, and seeing Ximen Qing sitting on the pavilion and handing over the words.This Ximen Qing set up a table and stool to step on, and secretly climbed over the wall, where a ladder has been installed.Li Ping'er sent Zixu away. He had already taken off his crown, pulled up the dark clouds indiscriminately, and stood under the corridor with a bare body and heavy makeup.Seeing Ximen Qing approaching, she was overjoyed and rushed to welcome him into the room.Under the lamp and candle, a table of wine, food, fruit and vegetables has already been arranged, and the pot is full of fragrant mash.The woman held the jade handle high in both hands, handed it to Ximenqing, and said a deep blessing: "I have always thanked the officials, and the officials took the trouble to repay them, which made my family feel uneasy. Today I have made this glass of light wine for myself. Please The officials came over and chatted with the slaves for a little bit of ruthlessness. They bumped into two goddamn salivating faces and just sat still. If you are in a hurry, I will send you to the courtyard."

Ximen Qing said: "Are you afraid that the second brother will come home?"

The woman said: "The slave has been ordered not to come overnight. The two young men have followed. There is no one else in the family, but these two girls, one mother Feng is the head of the door. He is the confidant of the slave's adoptive mother since childhood. Before The back doors are closed."

Ximen Qing was very happy when he heard this.The two then folded their legs side by side, exchanged glasses and exchanged cups, and drank together.Pour wine next to Yingchun, and Xiuchun goes to get vegetables.When the wine was strong, the mandarin duck quilt was scented with incense and corals were placed in the brocade tent, and the two maids withdrew from the wine table and dragged them to the door.The two go to bed and have sex.

It turns out that the adult's house has two floors of window rooms, with windows on the outside and rooms on the inside.The woman sent the servant girl out, and closed the two windows inside. There were lamps and candles in the room, so the outside could not be seen.This spring welcome girl, who is 17 years old this year, is quite knowledgeable. Seeing him two stealing a date all night, she quietly looks under the window, uses the hairpin on her head to sign the paper on the broken window, and peeps inside.How do the two at the end communicate?But see: in the shadow of the light, in the tent of shark silk, a jade arm is busy shaking, and a golden lotus is held high.A warbler murmured, and a swallow murmured.It's like Junrui meeting Yingniang, like Song Yu stealing the goddess.The vows of the mountain alliance are vaguely heard in the ears; the butterflies love the bees, and if they fail, let it go.It's exactly: being turned into a red wave, the consonance reveals the crisp chest; the curtain is held with a silver hook, and the eyebrows are black and the jade face is hanging down.

The two people in the room were cloudy and rainy. Unexpectedly, Yingchun was outside the window, and they could hear and see clearly.I heard Ximen Qing ask the woman how young she is.Li Ping'er said: "I am 23 years old this year."

Yin asked: "His aunt Gui Geng?"

Ximen Qing said: "Fangxia is 26 years old."

The woman said: "It turns out that the eldest slave is three years old. I will buy a gift tomorrow and go to see my aunt. I'm afraid I won't be able to get close."

Ximen Qing said: "The house is a good-natured one."

The woman asked again, "Does his aunt know if you come over here with your head? If he asks you, how can you answer?"

Ximen Qing said: "My house is on the fourth floor at the back, but my fifth concubine, Mrs. Pan, lives alone in a building in the front garden. He dare not control me."

The woman said: "How much is his fifth wife?"

Ximen Qing said: "He is the same age as Da Fangxia."

The woman said: "It's good again. If you don't think the slave is dirty, I will worship his Wu Niang as a sister. Tomorrow, I will ask his aunt and Wu Niang to look like their feet. I will make two pairs of shoes myself. To express slavery."

Then, he took off two golden hairpins that were closed on the top of his head, put them on Ximen Qing's head, and said: "If you are in the courtyard, don't ask Hua Zixu to see it."

Ximen Qing said: "It makes sense."

At present, the two are like glue, lingering until the fifth watch.The rooster crowed outside the window, and the east was getting white. Ximenqing was afraid that Zixu would come home, so he got up in his clothes, and passed the wall in front of him.Two secret signs were agreed, but Zixu was not at home, so the servant girl was asked to cough secretly on the wall as a sign, or throw a tile first, and then went up the wall when she saw no one here, and Ximen Qing used a step stool here Get over the wall.Two partition walls pay for peace, steal jade and incense, and can't walk through the gate. How do the neighbors in the street know?There are poems as proof: the moon falls, the flowers are dark and the night is long, and the meeting is suspected to be a dream in Gaotang.In the middle of the night, I secretly took a photo of the silver cylinder, fearing that the foolish slave would look at the light.

But Ximen Qing climbed over the wall and went to Pan Jinlian's room.Jin Lian was still asleep, because she asked, "You didn't know where you went yesterday and this night? You didn't even say a word to my slave."

Ximen Qing said: "Second brother Hua sent the boy to invite me to the courtyard again. After drinking in the middle of the night, he got away and came home."

Although Jin Lian believed it, she still had some doubts in her heart.One day, after dinner with Meng Yulou, he was doing acupoints on the garden pavilion, and suddenly saw a tile hitting his face.Meng Yulou lowered his head to put on the shoes, but didn't see them.This Pan Jinlian just looked around, vaguely saw a white face on the top of the next wall, and then went down.Jin Lian hurriedly pushed the jade building, pointed to him, and said, "Third sister, look at this, it's the big girl from the Hua family next door, she probably went up to the wall to look at the flowers, and when she saw us here, she went down."

That's all.In the evening, Ximen Qing came home from the banquet and entered the Golden Lotus Room.Jin Lian took the clothes with him and asked him.He didn't eat food or tea, and staggered, only walking in the garden ahead.The thief Pan Jinlian paid attention and looked at him secretly.After sitting for quite a while, I saw the girl in the first meeting face to face on the wall, and Ximen Qing stepped on the step stool and crossed the wall.Over there, Li Ping'er enters the room, and the two servants will meet without question.

Pan Jinlian went back to her room, tossed and turned, and did not sleep all night.Towards dawn, Ximen Qing came over and opened the door. The woman was sleeping on the bed and ignored him.Then Ximen Qing felt a little ashamed, and sat down on the bed next to him.When the woman saw him coming, she jumped up and sat down, pinching his ear with one hand, and scolded: "What a wicked thief! Where did you bring it yesterday? It made my old lady angry all night! The cocoon you made, I am already I know I'm impatient! Tell the truth as soon as possible, in the past, how many times have you stolen with that prostitute from the Hua family next door? Tell me one by one, and I will give up. But keep a word, when you pass by tomorrow, I will yell at the back Get up, tell you that there is no place for a heartless prisoner to die! You ordered someone to mark him to spend the night in the courtyard, but here you want his wife. I will teach you that you can’t eat and pack it! I said yesterday in broad daylight, I Living with Sanjie Meng in the garden, I saw the big girl of his family poking her head over the wall to relax her head. It turned out that the seducer made by the prostitute came to seduce you. You are still coaxing my old lady! The day before yesterday he Wang Ba at home called you to go to the courtyard in the middle of the night, so his house is the courtyard!"

After hearing this, Ximen Qing pretended to be a dwarf in a panic, fell to his feet and knelt down on the ground, smiled and said, "It's your fault, keep your voice down! To tell you the truth, he asked you two's ages like this. Tomorrow I will ask for shoe samples, and each will make a pair of shoes for you, and he wants to recognize you two as sisters, but he would rather be his sister."

Jin Lian said: "I don't want that whore to recognize her brothers and sisters. He wants someone else's man, and then comes to show his little courtesy. In the eyes of my old lady, she is a person who can't let go of sand. She is willing to let you play tricks in front of me." go!"

He tore open his trousers with one hand, and saw that the words were soft, with the silver tray still on it, and asked, "Tell me the truth, how many times have you had sex with the whore?"

Ximen Qing said: "If you get a lot of them, it's only once."

The woman said: "You swear, he will be as soft as snot and thick as sauce, but he is paralyzed like the wind! Some toughness is also the heart."

Then he pulled the receptacle, hung it down, and cursed: "Shameless robber, I didn't find it where I was taught by Taoism. It turned out that he took this professional out quietly and smashed it with that adulteress."

Ximen Qing said with a smile on his face: "Blame the little whore, the troublesome person is dead, he repeatedly taught me to bring the superior, he will come to kowtow to you tomorrow, and he will make shoes for you. Yesterday I asked the girl to do it for you. I went to the Wu family. Today, I will send you this pair of birthday hairpins."

So except for the hat, he pulled it off his head and handed it to Jinlian.I hold the golden lotus in my hand and look at it, but there are two hairpins made by the emperor and came out of the palace.Jin Lian was full of joy and said: "Since that's the case, it's okay if I don't say anything. When you go over there, I will watch the wind with you and teach you how to do things freely. How do you feel?"

Ximen Qing hugged his arms happily and said: "My dear son, that's exactly the case. A worthy adoptive son, don't spend money and drown silver, as long as you see the scene and make love. I will buy a set of makeup flowers in tomorrow's ladder Clothes thank you."

The woman said: "I don't believe that sweet tongue. Since I want my old lady to deal with the two of you, I have to do three things."

Ximen Qing said: "I will accept any number of items."

The woman said: "The first thing is that you are not allowed to go to the courtyard; the second thing is to obey me; the third thing is that you have slept with him in the past, and you will tell me when you come home, and you are not allowed to hide a word from me."

Ximen Qing said: "It doesn't matter, it's all up to you."

From then on, Ximen Qing went to sleep and told the woman, "Li Ping'er was born white and clean, his body is as soft as a cotton flower, he loves wind and moon, and he is good at drinking. There are fruit boxes in my two tents. Watching cards and drinking, often playing and staying up late at night."

He took out another object from his sleeve, handed it to Jin Lian to look at, and said, "This is drawn by his husband's inner palace. The two of us lighted the lamp and looked at it."

Jinlian took it in her hand and unfolded it to watch.There are words to prove it: Inner Mansion Qu Hua Ling framed, toothpick brocade with makeup.Big green and small green are finely painted with gold, and the inlaid buckets are clean.The female is like the Goddess of Wushan, and the male is like Song Yulang Jun. Both of them are used to fighting in the tent.Rename 24, the spring will move the relationship.

Jin Lian looked at it from the beginning to the end, and refused to let go, so she handed it to Chunmei and said, "It's good to keep it in my box, and I will watch it sooner or later."

Ximen Qing said: "Look at it for two days, and give it back to me. This is a man's favorite thing. I borrowed it to come to my house to have a look, and give it back to him."

Jin Lian said: "How did his stuff get to my house? I never asked for it from him. Even if I beat it, I can't get it out."

Ximen Qing said: "Blame the little servant, don't ask questions" and rushed to grab the scroll.Jin Lian said: "If you take a chance and gamble, I'll tear him to pieces, and everyone won't see it."

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "I can't help it, you can read it with him as you like. You return this to him, he still has a rare item, I will ask for it tomorrow and come to you."

Jin Lian said: "My son, who can raise you so well? You take it, and I will take this scroll with you."

The two chattered for a while.In the evening, Jinlian scented the mandarin quilt in the room, set up silver lamps, bathed the females in colorful makeup, and unfolded hand scrolls with Ximen Qing, enjoying the joy of "Yu Fei" in the brocade tent.Watch and hear: Witchcraft and nightmares have existed since ancient times.After Jin Lian told blind Liu to turn his back, within a short time, Ximen Qing turned anger into favor, sorrow and humiliation into joy, and did not dare to control him anymore.It's exactly: Forgive you for being a ghost, but also eat footwashing water.There are words to prove it: I remember that when I first met in the study, few people knew the traces of clouds and rain.Luan and Phoenix perch on double pillows at dawn, and the silver lamps are half spewing out their brilliance.

Thinking about the past, dreaming and fascinated, tonight is happy to be effective.There is no limit to the happiness of the Luan and the Phoenix, and the two will never be apart from then on.
