Jinpingmei

Chapter 14

The poem said: Eyes, intentions, and minds will stop immediately, and I can't bear to play with jade and scratch my head.The smiling face of spring is full of charm, and the eyebrows of Dai are frowning with sorrow.

The pink halo peach cheeks misses the husband and wife, and the Han Shenglan room looks forward to preparing for it.How can you get a good match, and don't let Wenjun sing his bald head.

It is said that one day Wu Yueniang was unhappy, and Wu Dajin came to see, and Yueniang stayed with him for two days.Sitting with him in the room, he suddenly saw the little servant Dai'an hugging him into the felt bag and saying, "Father is here."

Wu Dajin went to Li Jiaoer's room.Ximen Qing came in, took off his clothes and sat down.Xiaoyu didn't even eat the tea.Yueniang saw that his face had changed, so she asked: "You have tea today, how early are you coming home?"

Ximen Qingdao: "Second brother should meet regularly now, he has no place in his house, please let us play at Yongfu Temple outside the city. Second brother Youhua invited second brother Ying, four or five of us, went to Zheng Aixiang'er's house in the courtyard Eating wine. While eating, I suddenly saw some businessmen coming in. They couldn't help explaining and took the second brother Hua. Everyone was shocked. I went to Sister Li Gui and hid for a long time. I was worried and asked people to inquire. It turned out that Hua's second brother's neichen's family had sued the family for their wealth, and they handed over the certificate in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, approved it, and settled down in the county to take the people. We were relieved, and everyone went back home."

Yueniang heard the words, and said: "It's right, you follow this group of people all day long, you don't have a home, you just run around outside; today you just have to throw something out, and it's over. You still don't want to die now. Tomorrow you won’t eat people and struggle to fight, and the group will be a rotten sheep head by that day, you will cut off this way! Are you willing to listen to the words of the serious wife at home? It’s just that the adulteress in the yard is talking in front of you , you listen to him with a donkey's ears. It's exactly: the family members are talking about the wind, and the outsiders are talking about the golden scriptures."

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Who dares to hit me with the guts!"

Yue Niang said: "You are a professional, you have to be the boss of the family."

Just as I was talking, Dai'an came and said, "The second lady Hua next door sent Tian Fuer, please come and talk to me."

After hearing this, Ximen Qing staggered and walked out.Yue Niang said: "If there is no one tomorrow, I will teach you."

Ximen Qing said: "The neighbors are not on guard. I'll go there and see what he has to say."

Now walking past Huazixu's house, Li Ping'er asked the boy to come to the back to talk, and saw the woman with disheveled clothes and powder face, she came out of the room, her face was yellow with wax residue, and she was kneeling on Ximen Qing , pleaded again and again: "The senior officials have nothing to do. They don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. As the saying goes: When the family is in trouble, the neighbors help each other. Because he doesn't listen to people's words, he ignores the serious family affairs, and just walks around outside. Today the cannibal plotted and made such a thing. At this time, Fang told the boy that in the future, he taught me to find a favor to save him. I am a woman with no feet, so I go to find that favor. I became ruthless, thinking about his refusal Said, it’s not a loss to him to get him to Tokyo and beat him badly. It’s just embarrassing about the last name of the deceased father-in-law. I have no choice. Look at the slave's thin noodles, if you have a favor, find someone, as long as you don't teach him to eat bullying."

Seeing the woman bowing down, Ximen Qing hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, please get up, it's okay, I don't know why."

The woman said: "It's hard to describe. My deceased husband had four nephews. The eldest nephew was called Hanakoyu, the third was called Huaziguang, and the fourth was called Huazihua. My name is Huazixu, and they are all relatives of my husband. Even though the old father-in-law earned the penny and saw that I was useless, when he came back from Guangnan, he only handed over the things to me and kept them in my hands. He was still beaten with a stick, and the three of them were even more afraid to come forward. Last year, my husband died, and I spent a lot of money, three, four, and I also shared some bed net guys, only to find that I didn’t get a penny. I often say that it’s okay to be more or less with him, he can’t get through Let’s take care of it. Today’s hand is dark and not ventilated, but I taught someone to get it off.”

After finishing speaking, wept loudly.Ximen Qing said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I just want to know what's the matter. It turns out that it's the property that sues the family for financial matters. It doesn't matter. Since my sister-in-law ordered, brother's business is my business. Feel free to ask me what it is, I respectfully collar."

The woman said: "If the officials are willing, it will be fine again. May I ask how much etiquette it will take to find the point, and I will prepare it for you."

Ximen Qing said: "It doesn't take much. I heard that Yang Fu Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo is a student of Cai Taishi. Cai Taishi and my four relatives, Yang Admiral, are the ones who can speak in front of the emperor. Take two points. , Qi said to Yang Fuyin, there is a disobedience! It doesn’t matter how big it is. Now it’s Cai Taishi who uses some gifts. The admiral Yang Ye has a relative with me, will he accept the gift?”

The woman opened the box in the room and took out sixty ingots of large ingots, totaling 3000 taels, and taught Ximen Qing to collect them to find favors and use them up and down.Ximen Qing said: "Only half is enough, why use a lot!"

The woman said: "Many officials have taken them away. Behind the slave bed there are four chests of jade belts for python clothes, hat tops and sash rings, all of which are valuable treasures. I also asked the officials to take them away for me and put them in the big room." From the officials, the slaves will come to get them when they are used. At this time, the slaves will not think of a way to defend themselves. If you believe in him, you will not be able to live a good life in the future. Seeing that three fists are no match for four hands, until tomorrow, no one will take these things The son cannibal plotted to go, and the slaves did not return!"

Ximen Qing said: "I'm afraid Second Brother Hua will come home to ask what's wrong?"

The woman said: "These are all the things that Ti has handed over to the slaves when the old man was there. He doesn't know a word. The high officials just take it away."

Ximen Qing said: "Since my sister-in-law said so, I'll teach someone to pick it up at home."

So he kept coming home to discuss with Yueniang.Yue Niang said: "I used a food box to ask the boy to carry it. If the box and cage come from the gate, how can the neighbors on both sides look at it? It must be hidden by the wall at night."

Ximenqing was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately ordered four servants, Dai'an, Laiwang, Laixing, and Ping'an, and two food boxes to bring 3000 taels of silver home first.Then when the evening moon was up, Li Ping'er put tables and stools with Yingchun and Xiuchun, and put boxes and cabinets against the wall.On Ximenqing's side, there are only Yueniang, Jinlian, and Chunmei, who are followed by ladders.Spread felt strips on the top of the wall, send them one by one, and send them to Yueniang's room.It is exactly: wealth and honor are blessings to invest in, and fame and fortune also worry about fame and fortune.Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it.

Xiqing accepted many soft gold and silver treasures from him, but none of the neighbors knew about it.He packed his pack overnight and begged his in-laws for a letter from Chen's house, and sent them to Tokyo to protect him.Send the gift of Admiral Yang's letter, and ask the cabinet Taishi Cai to send a letter to Yang Fuyin of Kaifeng Mansion.When the governor was named Yang, he was nicknamed Guishan. He was from Hongnong County, Shaanxi Province.Kuang Cai Taishi was his old seat lord, and Yang Jian was the current minister, so why not do it!On the same day, Yang Fu Yin was promoted to the hall, and the prison said that Hua Zixu had come, and a group of people went to the hall and knelt down to interrogate the whereabouts of his family property.At this time, Hua Zixu had already sent a letter from Ximenqing to inform him, and he only said: "Since my husband died, it has been spent to send out chanting scriptures. There are only two houses and one in Zhuangtian, and the rest of the bed tents are burned. The items were all scattered by the clansmen."

Yang Fuyin said: "Your internal officials' wealth is irrelevant. It is easy to get and easy to lose. Since there is no money to spend, Yang Qinghe county committee officials appraised and sold the second residence of the eunuch Hua and one of Zhuangtian, and distributed them to Huazi. Wait for the three to return it."

Hua Ziyou waited and knelt down again, and wanted to supervise and chase Zixu, and asked for another item of silver.Furious by Yang Fu Yin, he drank all of them down and said, "Don't beat me up! When your inner prime minister died, why didn't you tell me? Now that the matter is over, you are here to harass me again."

So he didn't beat Hua Zixu for a while, but approved an official document, and sent it to Qinghe County to estimate the manor's house, no problem.

Come to Bao to inquire about the news, come back in the starry night, and report to Ximen Qing.Ximen Qing heard that the score was right, and let Hua Zixu come home, full of joy.Here Li Ping'er asked Ximen Qing to discuss, asking Ximen Qing to take some taels of silver to buy this house: "By tomorrow, I will soon be yours."

Ximenqing returned home to discuss with Wu Yueniang.Yueniang said: "If you want his house, I'm afraid his man will become suspicious for a while, what's the matter?"

Ximen Qing kept it in mind.A few days later, Hua Zixu came home. Qinghe County Party Committee Xiale County Prime Minister estimated: a eunuch mansion, located in Anqingfang, Main Street, worth 700 taels of silver, sold to the king's relatives for business; a Zhuangtian outside the south gate, worth 650 silver Two, sell and defend Zhou Xiu as a career.There is only a small residential house, worth 540 taels of silver, because it is next door to Ximen Qingjin, and no one dares to buy it.Hua Zixu repeatedly sent people to say that Ximen Qing only refused to pay the money, but refused to pay the bill.Li Ping'er was in a hurry and secretly sent Mama Feng to tell Ximen Qing that she would buy it with the silver he had deposited in exchange for 540 taels.Only then did Ximen Qing agree.When the official handed over the silver taels, Hanako drew all the characters.I made paperwork overnight and returned to my boss. The total amount of silver was 890 fifty taels, which was shared among the three of them.

Hua Zixu filed a lawsuit, but nothing was awarded, the silver, house, and farmland were gone, and the 3000 two big ingots in the two boxes disappeared, and he was very anxious.Because I asked Li Ping'er to check the whereabouts of Ximen Qing's silver taels, how much is left today, so that he can buy a house together.The anti-cheating woman scolded her for four or five days, cursing: "Bah! You are so chaotic, you just ignore your business all day long, and sleep in the flowers and willows outside. You should only be caught in a trap and held in prison." , I sent someone to teach me how to find favors. I am a woman from a family, and I didn’t leave the gate. What do you know? Who do you know? Where are you looking for favors? How many nails are hammered all over your body? Put shame on you, beg your father everywhere Tell grandma. Thanks to the senior officials at the Ximen next door, seeing how we met a few days ago, the cold weather, the yellow wind and black wind, sent the servants of the family to Tokyo to do things for you. You finished the lawsuit today, standing on Pingchuan with both feet, desperate for money, and the sores are so painful, you came home to ask your wife to find the back tent, and said that there is no one. The post you wrote is now, no Your handwriting, I will take out your money to find favors without authorization, and it will be difficult to repay the robbers!"

Hua Zixu said: "You know it's my post, I really hope there are still some left, let's buy a house together and live."

The woman said: "Bah! You are stupid! I don't want to scold you. You should be careful early, and the boss is not counting, but the bottom is counting. Qian Ye said too much, Wan Ye said too much , Where can your 3000 taels of silver go? Taishi Cai and Admiral Yang are good eaters! It’s not a favor from you, they just took you for nothing, and the officials have never hit you as a bastard, so be good Let it out, I will teach you how to talk at home! People are not under your jurisdiction, why are you his dear relative? Why do you go up and down for you, and let money teach you! You should also have a banquet when you come home Son, please come over, and once you know thank you, you can sweep everyone naked with a broom, and it's time for someone to find the back tent!"

After a few words of swearing and scolding, the scolding is vain and speechless.

On the next day, Ximenqing envoy Dai'an sent a gift to calm Zixu.Zixu arranged a table here, and invited Ximen Qing to thank him, so he wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of the silver.According to Ximen Qing, he would find a few hundred taels of silver to buy a house with him.But Li Ping'er refused, and secretly asked Mother Feng to come over and say to Ximen Qing: "Don't come to have a drink, just send him a flower tent, saying that all the money has been spent."

When Huazi was ignorant, he asked the servant to invite him again and again.Ximen Qing went all the way to the courtyard, only to return home.Hanako was so weak that she just stumbled.Watch and hear: Generally, women change, and if they don't agree with men, it's hard to predict the hidden affairs of a man who is as resolute as you bite off an iron nail.Since ancient times, men ruled outside and women ruled inside. Why are men's names often ruined by women?It's all by the imperial court.The most important thing is to care about each other's feelings, fate congeniality, husbands and wives follow, and the common people can be safe from blame.If it is like Huazi's vain, downcast, undisciplined, and wants her wife to have no other intentions, how can she get it!It is exactly: self-satisfaction gets its cushion, and there is no wind to shake it.

Stop babbling.Later, Zixu only scraped together 250 taels of silver and bought a house in Lion Street to live in.After getting this heavy breath, I just moved there, and unfortunately suffered from typhoid fever. Since the beginning of November, I fell asleep on the bed and never got up.At the beginning, I invited the imperial physician to see it, but later I was afraid of spending money, so I just stayed next to him.Two in one day, three in two days, until twenty heads were reached, alas, he passed away and died at the age of 24.Tian Xi'er, the big and small servant under his command, abducted five taels of silver from the time Zixu fell ill and disappeared without a trace.As soon as Zixu lost his head, Li Ping'er asked Mother Feng to invite Ximen Qing over, and discussed with him about buying a coffin for encoffining, sending out scriptures for burial on the grave.Men and women with big flowers, three flowers, and four flowers also came to mourn and send funerals.On that day, Ximenqing also taught Wu Yueniang to set up a table to pay homage to him on the mountain.When the woman returned home in a sedan chair, she also set up a spiritual tablet and made offerings in the house.Although he was guarding the spirit, he only thought about Ximen Qing.Since Zixu was alive, he taught Ximenqing how to play tricks on the two maids. After Zixu died, the family became more and more in touch with each other.

One day, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Li Ping'er inquired that it was Pan Jinlian's birthday. Before Zixu May [-]th, Li Ping'er bought a gift and sat in a sedan chair, wearing a white silk jacket, a blue woven gold skirt, and a white silk bun. Bead hoop, come to have a birthday with Jinlian.Feng's mother carried the felt bag, and Tian Fu'er followed the sedan chair.After entering the door, he kowtowed four times to Yueniang, and said: "The mountain was too busy the day before, and my mother was hungry, so thank you for the gift."

After paying homage to Yueniang, Li Jiaoer and Meng Yulou were invited to meet.Then Pan Jinlian came and said, "This is Wu Niang?"

He kowtowed his head again and called out one after another: "Sister, please be a slave."

Jinlian was willing to accept it, and after half a day, the two kowtowed.Jin Lian thanked him again for his birthday gift.I also met Mrs. Wu and Grandma Pan.Li Ping'er invited Ximen Qing to meet him.Yue Niang said: "He went to the Jade Emperor Temple outside the gate today to have a funeral."

While giving up his seat, he called for tea to eat.After a long time, I saw Sun Xue'e walking over.Li Ping'er saw that his makeup was inferior to the others, so he got up and asked, "Who is this person? I don't know, I have never asked to see him."

Yue Niang said: "This is his girl."

Li Ping'er was about to salute.Yueniang said: "Don't bother to start Erniang, just pay your respects."

So after paying homage to each other, Yueniang let her into the room, changed her clothes, and ordered the servant girl to put tea on the table in the open room.After a while, add charcoal around the stove, drink the lamb, and arrange for the wine to be served.Let Wu Dajin, Grandma Pan, and Li Ping'er sit up, Yue Niang and Chairman Li Jiaoer, Meng Yulou and Pan Jinlian fight.Sun Xue'e went back to the kitchen to take care of her, not daring to sit for long.Seeing that Li Pinger and Zhong Zhongjiu did not refuse, Yueniang handed over the wine herself, and then asked Li Jiaoer and everyone to hand over the wine again, because she mocked him and said: "Hua Erniang has moved far away, my sisters The more you leave, the less you get, I really don’t think about it. Erniang is so cruel, why don’t you tell us to come and see us?”

Meng Yulou quickly said, "Didn't Er Niang not come today because of her birthday with Sixth Sister?"

Li Ping'er said: "Good aunt, Sanniang, I have been praised by all the mothers, and I want to come here in my heart. One is devoted to filial piety, and the other has no one in his family. He only passed five or seven yesterday, not because he is afraid that Wuniang will blame him." , I dare not come."

Because he asked, "When will your mother come down?"

Yue Niang said: "It's early morning."

Pan Jinlian took it over and said, "My aunt's birthday is the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, Erniang should come and walk."

Li Ping'er said: "Needless to say, they will definitely come."

Meng Yulou said: "Er Niang will stay with my sister for the whole night today, so I won't go home."

Li Ping'er said: "I know that I have to talk to all the ladies. To tell the truth, the small family first moved there. Since he passed away, there was no one in the family. After the slave's house The wall is close to Prince Qiao's garden, so it's not empty! At night, foxes often throw bricks and tiles, and the servant is afraid. It was two young servants, and the young servant left again. It's just this Tianfuer young servant guarding the front door. The second half is empty. Thanks to this old Feng, he is from the old days, and he often comes to wash some clothes with his slaves."

Yue Niang asked: "How old is Lao Feng? And she is such a kind mother, she doesn't have a word for tall words."

Li Ping'er said: "He is 56 years old this year. He has no male or female flowers. He only lives by being a matchmaker. I often take care of his clothes here. Yesterday my poor husband died. I asked him to come and be a companion with my slave. The girl sleeps on the kang."

Pan Jinlian spoke quickly, and said: "Since Lao Feng is watching the house at home, it's okay for Erniang to stay here for a night. Your father is gone, and who cares about you!"

Yulou said: "The second mother just obeyed me and told Lao Feng to go back to the sedan chair. Don't go."

Li Ping'er just laughed and kept silent.In the middle of the story, I spent several rounds of drinking.Grandma Pan got up first and went forward.Pan Jinlian followed his mother into the room.Li Ping'er resigned again and again: "I've had enough wine."

Li Jiaoer said: "What's wrong with Erniang Hua, she is willing to eat wine in the hands of his aunt and third niang, but she prefers me to pass the wine, and Erniang refuses to eat it? It seems thick and thin."

So he took a big cup and poured it.Li Ping'er said: "Good Er Niang, I can't bear the slave committee, how dare you fake it!"

Yueniang said: "Erniang, you have eaten this cup, let's take a rest."

Li Ping'er just picked it up, put it in front of him, and just talked to everyone.Seeing Chunmei standing next to her, Meng Yulou asked Chunmei, "What is your mother doing up front? You go and invite your mother, and Grandma Pan, and tell her to come and have a drink with Erniang Hua."

Not long after Chunmei left, she came back and said, "Grandma is hurting and is sleeping. My mother is in the room to straighten her face, so she will come."

Yue Niang said: "I didn't see it either. He is a host. He lost the guests and went to the room. Everything is fine, but he has this childish air."

There are poems to prove it: When you are tired and sweaty, your clothes are soaked, and the people upstairs help you up the jade ladder.Go back to the courtyard to wash your face again, and the water in the golden basin is red with mud.

Just as she was talking, she saw Pan Jinlian coming.At the banquet, Yulou saw him wearing heavy makeup and swaying from the outside, and said jokingly: "Fifth girl, you are a good man! Today is your donkey, horse and animal, and you left the guests here. You hid in the room, you It can be raised by adults!"

That Jinlian smiled and slapped him.Yulou said: "What a bold fifth girl! You still have to pass it for a minute."

Li Ping'er said: "I've had a lot of wine in Sanniang's hands, it's enough."

Jin Lian said: "He has the account in his hand, and I dare to give Er Niang a bell."

So he filled a big bell and handed it to Li Ping'er.Li Ping'er just put it aside and refused to eat.Yueniang saw a golden longevity hairpin on the golden lotus temple, so she asked: "Second mother, where did you and sixth sister make the birthday hairpins? It's a good job. I'll be the same tomorrow." It also deserves to be worn by a pair."

Li Ping'er said: "Since the aunt wants it, the slaves still have a few more pairs. Tomorrow, every mother will make up a pair. This was brought out by the deceased old father-in-law. There are such models outside!"

Yueniang said: "This slave teased Erniang Dou for playing with her son. We have many sisters, so there are some gifts for them!"

All the female relatives drank and laughed.

Look at the western time, Feng's mother is waiting for wine in Xue'e's room at the back, her face is red from eating, and she urges Li Ping'er: "Can't get up? So I can send the sedan chair back."

Yue Niang said: "If Er Niang doesn't go, tell Lao Feng to go back to the sedan chair's house."

Li Ping'er said: "There is no one at home. I will take care of all the ladies another day. I will live there some time."

Meng Yulou said: "Er Niang is so obsessed with the ancients, so I don't have any share? Now I don't send the sedan chair, and when my father comes back to live, Er Niang must be kept."

After speaking, the persecuting Li Ping'er handed over the door key to Mother Feng, and said, "Since all his mothers keep me again and again, it's obvious that they don't know how to be respectful. Tell the sedan chair to go back and tell him to pick it up tomorrow. You Go to the boy's house and look carefully at the door."

He also taught Feng's mother to whisper in her ear: "Teach the big girl to welcome the spring, take the key to open a box in my bed room, and take four pairs of golden birthday hairpins in the small gold-faced face box. You will send them tomorrow morning, and I will send four lady."

Then Mother Feng got a word, paid her respects to Yueniang, and went out without any problems.

After a while, Li Ping'er refused to drink, so Yue Niang invited her to the upper room to have tea and sit with her eldest concubine.Suddenly seeing Dai'an hugged into the felt bag, Ximen Qing came to the house, opened the curtain and came in, saying, "Er Niang Hua is here!"

Li Ping'er jumped up in a panic, and the two saluted and sat down.Yueniang asked Yuxiao and Ximenqing to take the clothes.Ximen Qing said to Wu Daozi and Li Ping'er: "Today, there is a Christmas ceremony at the Yuhuang Temple outside the gate. I should be the head of the meeting every year, and settle accounts with everyone in Wu Dao's official room. Seven loads and eight willows are entangled here. .”

Because he asked, "Is Erniang not going home today?"

Yulou said: "Er Niang repeatedly refused to go, but was forced by my sisters to stay."

Li Ping'er said: "There is no one at home, so I don't worry."

Ximen Qing said: "No nonsense, the night watch has been very tight these two days, I'm afraid of something! But there are some troubles, take my post and send it to Mr. Zhou, and click it."

Then he said, "Why is Er Niang sitting quietly? Did you drink some wine?"

Meng Yulou said: "All of us persuaded Erniang repeatedly, but Erniang just refused to eat."

Ximen Qing said: "You are not good, wait for me to persuade Erniang. Erniang is so small!"

Although Li Ping'er said in his mouth: "I can't eat anymore."

Just don't move.At the same time, he ordered the servant girl to set up a table from the new house, leaving behind Ximen Qing's food, vegetables, and delicate nuts, and set up a table.Wu Dajin knew the bureau and refused to drink, because she went to Li Jiaoer's room.At present, Li Ping'er is sitting on the table, Ximen is celebrating the Guan banquet, and Wu Yueniang is sitting on the kang with a stove pot.Meng Yulou and Pan Jinlian fought horizontally.The five people sat down and poured the wine, and there was no need for a small bell. They were all big silver Quhua bells. You have a cup, and I have a cup.As the saying goes: Merry tea is the matchmaker, wine is the sex matchmaker.Eating here and there, the woman who eats has low eyebrows and squints.It's exactly: two peach blossoms come to the face, and the eyebrows and eyes show the true color.

Seeing that the two of them ate together, Yueniang spoke evil words and looked down on her, so she went to sit with Miss Wu in the room over there, and let the four of them eat until the third watch.Li Ping'er's starry eyes slanted, she couldn't stand upright, La Jinlian went to the back to wash her hands.Ximenqing went to Yueniang's room, also staggered, and asked Yueniang to send him to rest.Yueniang said: "He came to celebrate his birthday with that one, so he will rest in that room."

Ximen Qing said, "Where should I rest?"

Yueniang said: "Rest where you want, or you can go with him to rest."

Ximen Qing couldn't help laughing and said, "It's unreasonable!"

Because she asked Xiaoyu to take off her clothes: "I slept in this room."

Yue Niang said: "Don't sweat evil, don't provoke my bad-mouthed scolding! Are you here, where is his sister-in-law resting?"

Ximen Qing said: "Come on, come on! I'll go to Meng San'er's room to rest, so I went to Yulou's room to rest.

Pan Jinlian led Li Ping'er to wash her hands, and came to him together, and lay down with her grandmother.When I get up the next day, I dress in front of the mirror, and Chunmei waits on me.Seeing Chunmei's transformation, he knew that it was Ximen Qing's former girl, and she treated him like a golden girl.Chunmei quickly told Jinlian.Jin Lian thanked him again and again, and said, "Thank you Erniang again for rewarding him."

Li Ping'er said: "It's not in vain, Wu Niang is blessed, what a sister!"

After dressing up, Jinlian led him and Grandma Pan, asked Chunmei to open the garden gate, and wandered around.Li Ping'er saw a convenient door opened on the top of his wall, leading to his wall, and asked, "When will Father Ximen start building this house?"

Jin Lian said: "From the point of view of Yin and Yang of the former, when it comes to the construction and groundbreaking in February, Erniang's house will be opened up and built into one place, with a rolling shed in the front and a big garden; three flower houses will be built in the back. , make a side with the three buildings of the slave."

Li Ping'er listened carefully.I saw Yueniang sent Xiaoyu to invite him to tea.The three of them came to the upper room together.Wu Yueniang, Li Jiaoer, and Meng Yulou accompanied Miss Wu, laying out tea and waiting.Everyone was eating snacks when they saw Mother Feng come in, took out an old sweat towel from her sleeve, wrapped it with four pairs of golden birthday hairpins, and handed it to Li Ping'er.Li Ping'er first offered a pair with Yueniang, and then Li Jiaoer, Meng Yulou, and Sun Xue'e were each a pair.Yueniang said: "It's a lot of money to spend on Erniang, but this one can't be done."

Li Ping'er said with a smile: "Good aunt, what a rare thing, it's easy to reward people with women."

Everyone thanked Yueniang, and just now everyone put it on their heads.Yueniang said: "I heard that Erniang's house is located in front of the Lantern Market, so it's very lively. When we watch the lanterns tomorrow, we'll go to Erniang's mansion. Don't be at home."

Li Ping'er said: "When the slave arrives, I would like to invite all the mothers."

Jin Lian said: "My sister doesn't know yet, but I found out that the fifteenth day is Erniang's birthday."

Yueniang said: "I said today that if it is the day when Erniang comes down, there will be a few of my sisters, and they will come to celebrate Erniang's birthday."
