Jinpingmei

Chapter 43 Competing for the favor of Jinlian

The word says: Feelings increase and hope, new love is easy to lose, and the past is hard to guess.Ask the yellow chrysanthemum by the fence, who knows who opened it?

谩 Dao worries must be stagnant in wine, before the wine wakes up, worry has returned first.Leaning on the railing for a long time, the golden wave gradually turns, white dew spots moss.

It is said that when Ximenqing returned home, it was already three o'clock, Wu Yueniang was still awake, and was talking with Wu Dajin and others, and Li Ping'er was still waiting to pass wine to him.When the eldest concubine saw Ximen Qing coming to the house, she went over there.Seeing that he had wine, Yueniang sent him to take off his clothes.Only teach Li Ping'er to kowtow with him, sit down together, and ask about today's banquet.Yuxiao ordered some tea.Because of the presence of the eldest concubine, he went to rest in Mengyu's building.

The next day, the cook came early to clean up the banquet.Ximenqing first went to the Yamen to pay homage to the cards and distributed them in large quantities.Xia Tixing met, and thanked yesterday for the kindness of the room.Ximen Qing said: "Yesterday was very sloppy. Forgive me, forgive me!"

Mrs. Qiao Wu's family has been invited by Mrs. Qiao Wu's family to give gifts to Mrs. Qiao's family.Ximenqing accepted it, and the family took care of the dinner and wine.Sister-in-law Kong sat in Yueniang's room.Wu Shunchen's daughter-in-law, Zheng Sanjie, also came first in a sedan chair. They all paid homage to Yueniang and sat down to have tea.

Just when Li Zhi and Huang Si locked up 1000 taels of fragrant wax silver, Ben Si came home from Dongping Mansion.After being inquired by the earl, he also came to help and pay.Ximen Qing ordered Chen Jingji to take the balance and exchange it in the hall, and accepted it.Huang Si took out four more ingots of gold bracelets, weighing 30 taels, calculated as 150 taels of interest, and still owed 500 taels, so he was about to change the contract.Ximen Qing ordered the two of them: "You don't care about it until the Lantern Festival is over. I have something to do at home for a few days."

Then Li Zhi and Huang Si, the master is long and the master is short, thank you for going out.Earl Ying was concerned that the two had promised him some karma, so he took this opportunity to ask him for it, and was about to go with him when Ximen Qing stopped him from speaking.Because he asked: "Yesterday you every three, why did you leave without knowing?"

The count said: "Yesterday, I really disturbed my brother. I was waiting for too much wine. I saw that my brother also had wine. Today, my sister-in-law is putting wine at home, and I must wait for my brother to talk. Whenever I don't leave, I just want to pester us? I Brother Chai didn’t go to the Yamen today, I’ve been working hard for days.”

Ximen Qingdao: "I came home yesterday, and the weather was already three o'clock. I went to the yamen early today to pay homage, sat in the hall to distribute the cards, and went back to business. Now the family is taking care of the guests. After smelling the incense and coming back, I rushed to Zhou Juxuan's house to have a drink, and I don't know how long it took before we got home."

The Earl said: "Brother is so thoughtful, it's a great blessing for you. It's not a face-to-face award, even if it's the second one."

The two talked for a while, Ximenqing wanted to stay with the earl for dinner, the earl said: "I don't want to eat, let's go."

Ximen Qing asked again: "Why doesn't sister-in-law come?"

The count said: "The sedan chair under the house has been called down, so come here."

He raised his hand to make a speech and went out, chasing Huang Si and Li Zhi all the way.It's exactly: if you use the fog and cloud technique, you only need money to make fire and drill ice.

Ximen Qing sent the earl away, holding four yellow gold bracelets in his hand. He was very cute in his heart, but he kept silent, thinking to himself: "This child born by Sister Li has very hard feet. Once it is brought up, I will take care of it on the ground." Get some officials. Today I am married to Qiao's family and made a lot of money."

So he hugged the four ingots of gold bracelets with his sleeves, and went straight to Li Ping'er's room without reaching the back.Just as he was walking to the door of Pan Jinlian's corner, he saw Jinlian come out and asked him, "What is that in your hand? Come here and let me have a look."

Ximen Qing said: "Wait for me to come back and see you."

Holding on to Li Ping'er, he went all the way.Seeing that she couldn't call him back, Jin Lian felt a little shy in her heart, and said, "What kind of rare goods, you are so busy that you are a bluffer! Don't let me look at it, a three-inch robber with a broken leg , went into his door, and broke those two legs at the same time, and then reported it to my eyes."

But Ximenqing walked into Li Ping'er's room with the gold, and saw that Li Ping'er had just combed his hair, and the grandmother was playing with the child in his arms.Ximen Qing hugged the four gold bracelets all the way, and taught him how to handle them.Li Ping'er said: "Where is it? I'm afraid his hands will be iced."

Ximen Qing said: "It is Li Zhi and Huang Si who paid back the silver today with interest."

Li Ping'er was afraid of icing him, so he took a towel and wrapped it up to play with him.Dai'an came up and said, "Buddy Yun has come riding two horses, and I'm asking dad to go out and have a look."

Ximen Qing asked, "Mr. Yun, where is he from?"

Dai'an said: "He said that his brother Yunshen brought it from the side."

Just as I was talking, I saw Li Jiaoer and Meng Yulou, accompanied by the eldest concubine and his daughter-in-law Zheng Sanjie, all came to Li Pinger's room to see the official brother.Ximen Qing threw away the four ingots of gold and went outside to look at the horse.

When Li Ping'er saw the crowd coming, she only cared about giving way to the crowd, and forgot that the child was holding the gold and fumbling around, one ingot was missing.The nurse Ruyier asked Li Ping'er, "Didn't mother ever take that ingot of gold that my brother played with? How come there are only three ingots, and one ingot is missing?"

Li Ping'er said: "I didn't take it, I wrapped it up for him."

Ruyi'er said: "The sweat towel also fell on the ground. Where can I get that ingot of gold?"

There was chaos in the room.The grandma asked Yingchun, and Yingchun asked Lao Feng.Old Feng said: "Yeah, yeah! I've been blind since I was old, and I didn't see it. I've been here for a few years, not to mention broken needles and broken threads. I dare not move. Mother, the old man knows me. I am gold. I don’t love you either. Every time you guard my brother, why do you wrong me!”

Li Ping'er smiled and said: "Look at this mother talking nonsense, what is missing here is not gold but what is it?"

He scolded Yingchun again: "Thief stinky meat! What's the mess? Wait for your father to come in, wait for me to ask him, I'm afraid your father will accept it. Why only accept one ingot?"

Meng Yulou asked, "Where is the gold?"

Li Ping'er said: "His father brought it to play with the child. Who knows where it is from."

Let's say that Ximenqing was watching the horses at the gate, and all the clerks and family members were in front of him, so he asked the boy to slip back and forth twice.Ximen Qing said: "Although it's a horse from the east, with an ugly mane and tail, it's not very good at walking, it's nothing more than a small walk."

Because he asked Yun's buddy, "how much money do you want for this horse?"

Yun Li guarded, "Two horses only cost 70 taels."

Ximen Qing said: "Not much. It's just that you can't do it. You still led it, and another good horse came to ride, not to mention the money."

After finishing speaking, Ximen Qing came in, only to see Qin Tong say: "Please daddy in Liu Niang's room."

So he walked into Li Ping'er's room.Li Ping'er asked him: "You took one ingot of gold? Why are there only three ingots here?"

Ximen Qing said: "I'll leave it behind and go out to watch the horses, who will take it!"

Li Ping'er said: "You confiscated it, but where did you go? You have been looking for it all day. The grandma pushed Lao Feng, and the anxious Lao Feng cast a curse on himself and just cried."

Ximen Qing said: "Whoever took what was on the side, let him find it slowly."

Li Ping'er said: "Because the eldest concubine and daughter came here, I forgot about it in a mess. I just said that you took it out, but who knew you didn't take it away, so it was delayed. I just searched for it, and they all left. gone."

So the three ingots were handed over to Ximen Qing for collection.At the time when Ben Siqian had handed over 100 taels of silver, Ximen Qing went back to collect the silver.

Let's say that when Pan Jinlian heard Li Ping'er yelling, she lost a gold bracelet that the child was playing with, and the wind was the rain, so she came into the room first and told Yueniang, "Sister, look at the three-inch bracelet." Do it for a living! No matter how rich your family is, you shouldn't play with your children with gold."

Yueniang said: "Just now, every time he told me that the gold bracelet was missing from his room, where did he get it?"

Jin Lian said: "Who knows where he is! You haven't seen him yet. His head was brought in from the outside and wrapped in a jacket sleeve, just like a treasure. I asked him what it was, and brought it here for me to see." Look. The boss didn't return, and went straight to the house. After a while, there was a rebellion, and he said that a piece of gold was missing. Clean is just like a three-inch piece, and he said it was gone. Let him find it slowly. Even Wang Shiwan can't use your family. An ingot of gold weighs at least ten to two taels, and is worth five or sixty taels of silver. Who went into his room?"

Just as he was talking, Ximen Qing came in, exchanged the silver from Ben Siqian, and handed over the remaining three ingots of gold to Yue Niang for collection.Yin told Yueniang: "This is the four ingots of gold returned by Li Zhi and Huang Si. After taking them and playing with the children, one ingot disappeared."

Instruct Yueniang: "You and I call the girls in each room out for interrogation. I sent the servants to buy wolf tendons in the street. Just take them out early, otherwise, I will make wolf tendons twitch."

Yueniang said: "Speaking of it, this gold shouldn't be taken with the child, it's heavy on him, what's wrong with smashing his hands and feet for a while!"

Pan Jinlian took it from the side and said: "Shouldn't you play with the child? I just wish I couldn't get it into his room. I screamed in my head, and I don't care if I want to turn around. It's like a red-eyed army robbing the future. Don't teach anyone to know. This time the gold is missing, how dare you have the face to tell the big sister! Ask the big sister to check the girls in each room for you, tell the girls in each room not to smile, but to smile in their eyes!"

After saying a few words, Ximenqing became anxious, walked forward and pressed the golden lotus on the Yueniang Kang, raised his fist, and cursed: "Just kill me! Don't look at the world, you little crooked bitch, just one He was beaten to death with his fists! Just talk and speak quickly, and come to meddle in whatever matters you have."

Then Pan Jinlian pretended to be Qiao Zhuang, started to cry, and said, "I know that you rely on officials and power, and you rely on money. You are arrogant, and you only bully me. You say that you are so powerful, you put a Half the life was killed, don't take it seriously. Is it okay to stop you? You can't beat me! I'll fight as you like, but it's rare that I only have this breath. If it doesn't, I will worry about my family. That sick mother doesn't ask you to ask for someone! No matter how rich or powerful your family is, you will be handed over to your family. What do you say you are a thousand households in the yamen? You are just a shabby debt shell for no reason──poor It’s all about being an official, how many lives can be banned? What if it’s not about teaching the emperor to dare to kill people!”

After a few words, Ximen Qing laughed instead, and said, "Look at this little crooked bastard, what a cunning mouth! I'm a poor official with a torn gauze cap? Teach the girl to fetch my gauze cap, my gauze cap is broken ? This Qinghe County asked, whose money am I missing? You say I am a debtor!"

Jin Lian said: "Why do you call me crooked!"

Yin raised one foot, "Look at my mother's feet, those feet are crooked? Why do you call me crooked?"

Yueniang laughed beside her and said, "You two copper basins collided with iron brooms. As the saying goes: The wicked will have their own grind, and there is nothing they can do when they see the wicked! Since ancient times, I have always fought for one step with a strong mouth. Sixth sister, it is also thanks to you as a talker, otherwise , a blunt mouth won’t do it.”

Seeing that Ximenqing couldn't help him, he put on his clothes and went out.Greeting Dai'an, he said, "Master Zhou's family has sent someone to invite you here. May I ask you to go to the place where the offerings are made first, and then to Master Zhou's house?"

Ximen Qing ordered: "Teach your brother-in-law to go to the place where the offerings are made. Serve the horse, and I'll just go to your Master Zhou's house for a drink."

I saw Wang Huang's family pretending to be a play and two masters led the crowd to kowtow to Ximenqing. Ximenqing taught the boy to watch the meal and eat with him, saying: "Today, you wait and serve the grandma with your heart. I will reward you very much. Don't beat me up." Box to go!"

The master knelt down and said: "If you don't agree with your heart, how dare you ask for a reward!"

Ximen Qingyin told the book boy: "He sang for two days, and even rewarded him with five taels of silver."

The book boy promised.Ximen Qing got on his horse and went to Zhou Shoubei's house for a drink.

Pan Jinlian was sitting in the upper room alone, and Wu Yueniang said, "You don't even go in the room to even out that face! It's so red. When you come back, people come to see what Zhang Zhi is! Who told you to mess with him?" Come on? I'll sweat it for you. If it wasn't for my persuasion, I would have been hit by the ghost a few times. The man has dog hair on his face, and he doesn't know what to do, so he only cares about entanglement with him. Get up. If the gold is gone, let him go. If you can’t find it, it’s not in you, and it’s not in your house. It’s just a matter of grabbing your neck and fighting with him! You’ve lost your breath too!”

After a few words, Jin Lian kept her mouth shut, and went into the room to make up her face.

After a while, both Li Ping'er and Wu Yin'er dressed up and went to Yueniang's room.Yueniang asked him: "Why is the gold missing? Just now he provoked his father and Sixth Sister, and now it's hard to tell the difference here, and they almost didn't tell each other and started fighting! I persuaded him to leave. His father said Went to other people's house to eat wine. Ordered the boy to buy wolf tendons. When he comes home at night, he must pick up the maids in each room. Which door is in charge of the maids and wives in your house? Watching the children play, they will disappear I gave him a bar of gold. What if it's a penny and a half?"

Li Ping'er said: "Normally, his father brought in four ingots of gold to play with the child. I sat and talked with my eldest concubine, Zheng Sanjie and his second mother, but one ingot disappeared. Now the girl pushes the tits, and the tits push Old Feng. Anxious mother Feng is crying and crying, she just wants to die. Without eyes, it is difficult to understand what is going on, who is wronged now?"

Wu Yin'er said: "My God, my God! I often play games with my brother. As early as today, I combed my hair in this room and never went there. Otherwise, what's the matter? Although my parents don't speak, how are you and my heart safe?" Who doesn't love money? People in my family are most afraid of this reputation, it will sound ugly when it spreads!"

Just as I was talking, I saw Han Yuchuan and Dong Jiaoer come in with their bags in their hands. They kowtowed to Yueniang, the eldest concubine, and Li Ping'er with a smile. Didn't you go home yesterday?"

Wu Yin'er said, "How do you know?"

Dong Jiaoer said: "Yesterday, both of us sang in the house on Dengshi Street. Daddy told us to teach me to serve Grandma today."

On the one hand, Yueniang asked him to sit down.After a while, Xiaoyu brought two cups of tea.Han Yuchuan'er and Dong Jiaoer stood up quickly to take the tea, and they also looked at Xiaoyu and bowed.Wu Yin'er asked: "You two sang too much yesterday and we parted?"

Han Yuchuan said: "When we got home, there were two more, and we went with your brother Wu Hui."

After talking, Yueniang told Yuxiao: "Send them to have tea earlier. I'm afraid people over there will be busy when they stay back."

While putting down the table, two springs and four boxes of tea and food.Yueniang envoy Xiaoyu: "In your second mother's room, please invite Sister Gui to have tea with you."

After a while, he and his girl came, and the two said their etiquette, sat down, had tea together, and took over the housework.

Suddenly I saw Yingchun dressed up, and brought the official brother, wearing a gold beam satin eight auspicious hat on his head, wearing a red cloak, white silk socks, satin shoes, a talisman on his chest, and a hand Put on the little gold bracelet.Li Ping'er saw it and said: "Little official, no one invited you, what are you doing here?"

Take it from one side and put it on your knee.Seeing people in a room, I can't stop looking at this and then at that.Sister Gui sat on the Yueniang kang, teased him with a smile, and said, "My brother is only looking at this, I think I need to hug him."

So he lured him with his hands, and the child threw himself into his arms and taught him to hug him.Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "You are a little kid, he knows what he likes!"

Yueniang took it over and said, "Who is his father! When he grows up tomorrow, he will be a whore boss in charge of love."

Meng Yulou said: "If you become a small whore boss, call the eldest mother and beat him to death."

Li Ping'er said: "Little boy, hug your sister, just don't drown your sister's clothes, I will beat you to death!"

Sister Gui said: "Yeah! What are you afraid of? It doesn't matter if you drown, it's okay. I want to hug my brother and play with me in my heart."

So he played with his two mouths.Dong Jiao'er and Han Yuchuan'er said: "I have been here all day, and I haven't sung a song with my mother."

Because of taking musical instruments, Han Yuchuan played the pipa, Dong Jiaoer played the zither, and Wu Yiner sang alongside.Sang a set of "The Prosperous Full Moon Blooms" and "Jin Suo Hanging Wutong" and sang a line, there was the sound of dust falling around the beam, the sound of cracking stones and flowing clouds, so that the official brother was knocked down in Sister Gui's arms, and he dared not Look up and vent your anger.When Yueniang saw it, she called out: "Sister Li, you take the child and teach Yingchun to carry it into the house. What a young boy who doesn't make progress, look at his face!"

Li Ping'er quickly took it over, asked Yingchun to cover his ears, and carried him into the room over there.

The four singers were singing when Dai'an came in and said, "I'm going to invite you to Qiao's mother-in-law. Grandma Zhu and Mrs. Shang Juren have all come to Qiao's mother-in-law. We just wait for Mrs. Qiao Wu to arrive." Here we come. There are drums and music to welcome you in front of the gate and in the hall. It’s all right for Niang to tidy up and take care of you.”

Yueniang also ordered the brocade carpet to be laid out in the open room of the back hall and the seats to be placed.Roll up the curtain, double control with golden hooks, and the fragrance of orchid musk.Chunmei, Yingchun, Yuxiao and Lanxiang all dressed up.The daughters-in-law of the family all wear gold and silver, red and green, ready to welcome new relatives.I saw Earl Ying's wife Ying Ersao arrived first, and Ying Bao followed the sedan chair.Yue Niang waited to welcome her in.After seeing the etiquette, he sat down in the Ming room, bowed to Yueniang again and again, and said, "My family is always disturbing, please take care of me!"

Yueniang said: "Second mother, it's easy to talk! Your second father is always tired."

After a long time, only the sound of shouting approached, and the sound of drum music in the front hall.Ping'an came in first to report: "Mrs. Qiao's sedan chair has arrived!"

After a while, a group of people were crushed in darkness, followed by five big sedan chairs and landed at the door.But Mrs. Qiao Wu's sedan chair is in the head. On the sedan chair, there is a silver roof with hanging pearls, a sky-blue double edge, and a silk gold water-covering sedan chair, so that rattan sticks can drink the road.The daughter-in-law of the family followed in a sedan chair, four captains carried suitcases and a stove, and two family members in Tsing Yi rode ponies, followed.The rest are Mrs. Qiao Dahu, Zhutaiguan's wife, Shangjuren's wife, Cui Daguan's wife, Duan Dajie, and Qiao Tong's wife who also came to fold clothes in a small sedan chair.

Wu Yueniang, Li Jiaoer, Meng Yulou, Pan Jinlian, Li Ping'er, Sun Xue'e, all dressed up like pink makeup and exquisite decorations, all came out of the second door to greet them.All the guests came in surrounded by Mrs. Qiao Wu.He was born in five short stature, about [-] years old, wearing a crown of emerald jewels and pearls, and a robe embroidered in the big red palace. Looking at him from a close distance, his hair on the temples is white.It is exactly: the eyebrows are divided into eight snows, the bun is a nest of silk, the eyes are slightly cloudy like autumn water, and the temples are like clouds in Chushan Mountain.Enter the back hall, first finish the etiquette with Wu Dajin, and then meet with Yueniang and others.Yueniang repeatedly asked his wife to accept the gift, but the wife refused, so she gave up for a long time and accepted the half ceremony.The next time, I talked to Mrs. Qiao, a big family, about the ceremony of her new in-laws, said to each other and thanked her for her generosity.After that, a Jinyin seat was placed in front of Jinping, and Mrs. Qiao Wu was seated, followed by Mrs. Qiao's big family.Mrs. Qiao, a big family, said repeatedly: "My nephew dare not go against the fifth wife."

Let Zhu Taiguan and Shang Juren's wife refuse.After giving way to each other for half a day, Mrs. Qiao Wu took the first seat, and the rest of the guests sat separately.In the middle, a fire was lit in the Dafang stove, and the air in the hall was as warm as spring.Chunmei, Yingchun, Yuxiao, Lanxiang, the four girls in general, all dressed up and served tea in front of them.

After a long time, Mrs. Qiao Wu said to Yueniang: "Please come out to meet Mr. Ximen and talk about the gift of family affection."

Yue Niang said: "The poor man has gone to the Yamen today, and he is not coming home!"

Mrs. Qiao Wu said: "Where does your excellency live?"

Yueniang said: "It's a villager who has been granted the position of thousands of households by the court's favor. He is known as the punishment. The marriage between Han's family and his in-laws is really detrimental."

Mrs. Qiao Wu said: "what the lady said, it seems that the adults are so grand. Yesterday, the old man was very happy to hear that his nephew was married to the family. I will meet today and see you tomorrow. "

Yueniang said: "It's just the name of the old lady."

Mrs. Qiao Wu said: "What is the lady talking about? I think the court will not marry the common people! The old man has a long story to say, and now the concubine of the Eastern Palace is the old niece and daughter. His parents are gone, only the old man. The old man When I was here, I used to be a hereditary commander, but unfortunately passed away at the age of 50. I had no children and grandchildren around me, and my nephew from another family took over. I had no money, but now I have become a big family. My nephew, although he was a servant, I can live a good life, and the concubine will not defile the family."

After talking for a while, Wu Dajinzi said to Yueniang: "Take the child out and have a look with the old lady, and ask for his birthday."

Li Ping'er hastily ordered the nanny to hug Guan Ge to kowtow to his wife.Mrs. Qiao looked at it and praised: "What a decent brother!"

That is to say, after calling around, he quickly opened the felt bag, took one end of the purple and yellow brocade in the palace, and a pair of gold-plated bracelets, and wore it with his brother.Yueniang hurried down to thank her.Please go to the room and change your clothes.After a while, four tables were placed in the rolling shed in front to serve tea, each with forty dishes, all kinds of tea fruit, delicate pastry and so on.After eating tea, Yue Niang led her to the Shanzi garden behind, and came down to play for a while.

At that time, Chen Jingji went to pray and came back after lunch.He Shutong'er and Dai'an'er set up neat tables and seats in the front hall as early as possible, and all the grandmas are invited to serve wine to the table.It's a good feast at the end, but see: the peacock is screened, and the hibiscus is hidden under the mattress.There are rare and rare fruits on the plate, and golden flowers and emerald leaves in vases.Animal charcoal is burned in the furnace, and ambergris is fragrant.The white jade dish is piled high with lin preserved fruit, and the purple gold pot is full of fine wine.The children of the Liyuan cluster hold the phoenix pipe and the flute; the singers of the inner courtyard hold the silver zither and the elephant board tightly.Shuang Luopu, the beauty of drinking, and two Chang'e, the maids who share the fragrance.It's exactly: in front of the two rows of pearls and emeralds, a group of Shengge sits on it.

Wu Yueniang and Li Ping'er handed wine together, and the drums of the actors below the stage sounded.Mrs. Qiao and all her relatives, and Li Pinger and Li Ping'er personally celebrated their birthdays before they sat down at the table.Sister Li Gui, Wu Yin'er, Han Yuchuan'er, and Dong Jiaoer sang a set of "Shoubi Nanshan" in front of the banquet. "Record" The cook came up to offer a small cut roast goose, and rewarded him with five qian.It's getting late when it's time to cut Fan Wudao, Tang Chen presents three times, and the operas are folded in four directions.Candles are painted in the hall, all kinds of lanterns are lit, brocade ribbons are fluttering, and colorful ropes are spinning low.A round of bright moon rises from the east, illuminating the lights in the hall.The musicians were at the bottom of the steps again, with the pipa, the zither, the shengxiao and the flute, playing a set of lantern lyrics "Preface to Thrushcross Eyebrows" and "Flower and Moon Full of Fragrant City". One tael of silver, four singers, two dollars each.Yueniang set up many fruit plates in the open room behind and sat back.All four tables were packed.Sing and play, and drink again.Mrs. Qiao repeatedly said that it was late and she had to get up.The Yueniang people couldn't keep the money, so they gave it to the gate, and stopped the door to pass wine and watch the fireworks.On both sides of the street, the people watching are like a row of swarms.Ping'an'er and all the platoons held sticks to block them again and again, and rushed forward.After a while, a firework was set off, and the people on both sides dispersed.Mrs. Qiao and all the ladies had just bid farewell to Yueniang and others, and got up and got on the sedan chair.At that time, there was also the third watch weather, and then my second sister-in-law was sent to get up.The sisters of Yueniang came back to the back and ordered Chen Jingji, Laixing, Shutong, and Dai'an'er to watch the hall clean up the housework, take care of the opera singer and the two masters for dinner and dinner, gave five liang of silver for singing money, and sent them away. .

Yueniang ordered them to come out, save a table of delicacies and half a can of wine, invite Fu Buddy, Ben Si, and brother-in-law Chen, and said: "Every time he works hard, everyone eats bell wine. Just set up a table in the hall, and you Father doesn't know how long we will come back."

So there are still lamps left, and at present, buddies Fu, Ben Si, Jingji, and Laibao sit on the table, while Laixing, Shutong, Dai'an, and Ping'an fight horizontally and pour the wine.Laibao called Ping'an'er: "You still appoint someone to be the head of the gate, for fear that there will be no one to guard the gate when your father returns."

Pingan said: "I asked the painting boy to watch it, it's okay."

So eight people guessed and drank.Jingji said: "You don't guess every time, you make a fuss, and you will hear it later. Why don't you quietly order your son to play tricks. Everyone asks for a sentence. If you say it, you will be exempted, and if you can't, you will be fined a big cup."

The Fu guy first said: "It's a laughable Lantern Festival grass."

Ben four said: "There are countless joys in life."

Jingji said: "Take advantage of the moonlight."

Lai Bao said: "Let's not let us down."

Laixing said: "I just asked Jiaoer not to be here."

The book boy said, "I'm following my mother's instructions again."

Dai'an said: "Although there is still wine and lamps left."

Pingan said: "It's also a spring breeze once."

After everyone finished reading, they laughed.It's exactly: after drinking and people leaving, I don't know that the bright moon turns fancy.
