Jinpingmei

Chapter 55

The word says: Teachers and representatives, Fang Yuyu, fish and water monarchs and ministers, have never had to be trusted.When the fortune is a thousand, the best days are five, and the old man is born in Songyue.The emperor sent Fu'an Zongshe, and people worshiped Yongronglang Temple.May I wish my eyebrows a birthday every year, and the longevity is higher than the mountain.

But he said that the medical officer Ren had checked his pulse and went to the hall to sit down.Ximen Qing said, "I don't know what the severity of this illness is?"

Doctor Ren said: "Madam's illness was caused by careless treatment after childbirth. My eyes are dirty, my face is yellow, and my diet is not important. I feel tired when I walk around. According to the students' humble opinion, we should be cautious. Take care. Now the pulse in both hands of Madam is empty but not real, and it is enlarged by pressing. This disease is only caused by fire inflammation of the liver, deficiency of soil and wood, and deficiency of blood. If it is not cured now, it will not happen later."

After finishing speaking, Ximen Qing said: "What kind of medicine should I use now?"

Doctor Ren said: "Just use some medicines for clearing fire and stopping bleeding—Huangbai and Zhimuweijun, and add or subtract some of the rest. Take it and watch it, and it will be fine."

After hearing this, Ximenqing asked the book boy to seal a tael of silver, and sent it to the medical officer to make the medicine book, and the medical officer thanked him.After a while, the general medicine came, and Li Ping'er decocted it in his room, no problem.

Let's say that Ximenqing sent the medical officer to come back to talk to Earl Ying.Earl Yin said: "This morning, Li San and Huang Si came and said that he was in a hurry for the incense money, and asked me to beg brother again and again. Anyway, brother look at me and help him this step."

Ximen Qing said: "Since we are in such a hurry, I have no choice but to follow you. Tell him to come and pay tomorrow."

On the one hand, let the earl go to the small rolling shed and let him eat.The count asked, "Is Li Gui'er still living here? Those who went to Tokyo should come here."

Ximen Qing said: "Exactly. I am waiting to send him to Yangzhou. I am afraid that he will only arrive in the morning or evening."

After that, after dinner, don't go, count.The next day, when Ximenqing came back from the yamen, the earl had already sat in the hall with Li Zhi and Huang Si and waited.Seeing Ximen Qing coming back, they hurried over to meet him.Ximenqing went in and changed his clothes, then asked Yueniang to take out the 250 taels of silver that Xu's family begged for, and added another 250 taels, and asked Chen Jingji to take it, and went to the hall together to exchange it with Li San and Huang Si.Yin said: "I don't have any money. Because my second brother has repeatedly said, I have to join you. But I want it."

Li Sandao: "How dare you delay when you get help from my father! Now that this batch of money has been locked up, I dare not move a cent, so I sent it all over."

So I redeemed the receipt, and thanked you a thousand times.The earl was about to go, but was left behind by Ximen Qing.

Sitting talking, I saw Ping'an came in and reported: "I came back to protect Tokyo."

The count said, "I said yesterday that I should come."

After a while, Lai Bao entered the hall and kowtowed to Ximen Qing.Ximen Qing then asked, "Have you seen Daddy Zhai? What happened to Sister Li Gui?"

Lai Baodao: "The younger one saw Father Zhai. After seeing Father's book, Father Di asked the head class to talk to Taiwei Zhu and Natieer, and the younger one followed. Taiwei Zhu personally ordered, "Since it is The middle class of the Grand Master's Mansion should be released. Because it was sent by the Liuhuang Taiwei, it is difficult to return him. If you have not arrived, you will be free of hands; if you have already got it, you will be imprisoned for a while. He is an internal officer. , There is a beginning and no end. When he is calmer, he will take it lightly.'" The earl said: "So, even Qi Xiang'er is hands-free? ──Fortunately made this little whore !"

Lai Bao said: "Even if I wish my father every day, I have to beat him a few times. The crime is expected to be gone."

At the same time, he took out the housekeeper Zhai's letter and handed it over.Ximen Qing looked at it and said, "Old Sun and Zhu Mazi, it's my favor that they never even dreamed about."

The count said: "Brother, you are just a stallion for accumulating shade."

Laibao said again: "Daddy Zhai was very happy to see the little one go. He asked if he could go to the birthday party with the master tomorrow? The little one couldn't say no, so he had to agree: 'If you dare to come.' Diddy said:' Come and walk around, I want to meet your father for a while too.'" Ximen Qing said: "I didn't make any appointments when I arrived. Since I said so, I have to go for a walk."

Because he told Lai Bao: "You have worked hard, and you will have some wine and rice later, and have a rest. One or two days later, you have to go to Yangzhou."

Come and promise to go.Ximenqing was about to go in and talk to Li Guijie, and said to the earl, "You sit down, and I'll come."

The count also went to look for Li San and Huang Si, and took the opportunity to say, "I'll go now, come again."

Don't go.

When Ximen Qing came to Yueniang's room, Sister Li Gui already knew the letter, so she hurried over to kowtow to Ximenqing and Yueniang, thanking her: "It's rare that my parents saved me from this disaster. How can I repay my parents! "

Yue Niang said: "Since you are at our house for a while, there are some things that you don't want to hang out with, why do you come here?"

Sister Gui said: "I rely on my parents to save me, but I only made Qi Xiang'er that little whore, what does he have to do with him? Even he is spared. His family makes money and makes us tired, and we are frightened. Every time I fall It's only good to say a big favor for him, and not to spare him!"

Ximen Qing said with a smile, "This little whore is truly blessed."

After talking for a while, Sister Gu was about to leave home and said, "My mother doesn't know about this letter yet. Let me tell her at home so that he won't forget about it, and then come and kowtow to my parents with my mother."

Ximen Qing said: "Forget it, I won't keep you, you go home and talk about it."

Yueniang said: "Sister Gui, you go after dinner."

Sister Gui said, "Mom, I won't eat anymore."

On the one hand, he bid farewell to Ximen Qing and Yueniang.Before leaving, Ximen Qing said: "The matter is over, from now on, this Wang Sanguan will rarely recruit him."

Sister Gui said: "What did dad say, you still recruited him! If you try to recruit him again, your body will rot. Even the day before yesterday, I was not the one who recruited him."

Yue Niang said: "Just don't recruit him, but what's the point of making an oath?"

On the one hand, he called for a sedan chair and sent Sister Gui away.Ximenqing told Yueniang about going to Tokyo.Yueniang said: "Since we're going, we need to make arrangements early so as not to be in a hurry."

Ximen Qing said: "The boa robes are beautiful, the treasures of golden flowers, and birthday presents are all ready, but my luggage has not been packed yet."

Yue Niang said: "It doesn't matter if you pack your luggage."

After Ximenqing finished speaking, he went to the front to see Li Ping'er.The next day, sitting in the roll shed, I called Chen Jingji to come, read the book about Cai Yushi, handed it over to Lai Bao, and entangled with him, telling him to go to Yangzhou early tomorrow, no problem.

A few days later, seeing that Taishi Cai's birthday was approaching, I had to choose an auspicious day, and ordered Qintong, Dai'an, Shutong and Huatong to follow and pack their luggage.Yueniang, together with Yulou and Jinlian, packed more than [-] loads of various gifts, crowns, clothes and other things.On the evening of the first day, all the wives and concubines set up food and drinks and Ximen Qing saw him off.After eating the wine, I went to the Yueniang's room to rest.The next day, he sent out his [-]-carrying luggage first, and issued a passing horse card, and passed by the post post to pick up his husband and horse to see him off.Everyone stopped, then came into Li Ping'er's room, looked at Guan Ge'er, and said to Li Ping'er, "Take care of yourself. If you want medicine, ask someone to ask the medical officer for it. I will come to see you soon. "

Then Li Ping'er said with tears: "Be careful on the road."

Send it straight out of the hall, and send it out the gate with Yueniang, Yulou, and Jinlian.Ximenqing took a sedan chair, and four young servants rode on the head, looking at Tokyo.During the meandering trip, one would have to go up to Zimo, stay overnight at the post booth, and see some beautiful mountains and rivers along the way. The people you meet are all civil and military officials from all walks of life who come to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays, and there are countless birthdays.After traveling for about ten days, I arrived in Tokyo early.After entering the gate of Wanshou City, it was getting late at that time, so I rushed to the archway of Longde Street and went to Zhai's house to rest.

Butler Zhai heard that Ximen Qing had arrived, so he hurriedly came out to greet him and greet each other.After tea, Ximenqing asked Dai'an to hand over the luggage one by one to Zhai's house.After Zhai Qian handed in the house, he set up wine and washed the dust with Ximen Qing.Not for a while, I saw rare and delicious delicacies on the table of the rhinoceros picking official, but there was no dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and everything else was available, even for Cai Taishi's own use, that's all.The person on duty brought the wine, and Zhai Qian drank it first, and then celebrated with Ximen.Ximen Qing also responded.The two sat down, candy and wine, and running water seemed to be handed up.After drinking for two rounds, Ximen Qing said to Zhai Qian: "The student is here just to celebrate his birthday with the old grand master, and to chat with the old grand master to prepare a little courtesy and be filial to the grand master. I can't imagine it. It's just that the student has always had a high heart, and he wants to ask his in-laws to advance." Report: But if you can worship under the grand master's door and be a son-in-law, your life will not be in vain. Can you tell me?"

Zhai Qian said: "What's so difficult about this! Although our master is a minister of the court, he is also very flattering. After seeing such a grand ceremony today, not only will he be a cadre, he will definitely obey, and naturally he will be promoted to an official title."

When Ximen Qing heard about it, he was overjoyed.After drinking enough, Ximen Qing stopped drinking.Butler Zhai said: "Bring me another drink, why don't you eat?"

Ximen Qing said: "Tomorrow I have serious business, so I dare not drink too much."

After four rounds of persuasion, I only ate another cup.

Housekeeper Zhai rewarded the attendants with food and drink, and invited Ximen Qing to rest in the study at the back.Put down the warm bed and silk tent, and the silver hook brocade quilt, which is fragrant.A group of servants help Ximen Qing undress and go to bed.Sleeping alone——Ximen Qing was not used to it all his life, and it was hard to get through that night.At dawn, just as he was about to get up, the Zhai family's door was heavily shut.It wasn't until the time of the card that someone opened the keys together and came out.Then the servant came into the study with a towel and fragrant soup.After Ximen Qing finished washing, he saw Butler Zhai come out to meet Ximen Qing and sit down.The person on duty brought out a vermilion box with about thirty delicacies in it, and poured wine into a silver jug ​​for breakfast.Zhai Qian said: "After breakfast, please, the students will go to the mansion to talk to the master, and then the in-laws will bring gifts in."

Ximen Qing said, "Take care!"

After a few glasses of wine, I ate breakfast and collected the housework.Housekeeper Zhai said: "Just sit down for a while, and the students will come as soon as they enter the mansion."

Not long after Zhai Qian left, he hurried home and said to Ximen Qing: "The master is washing and washing in the study, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are waiting outside to pay birthday wishes, so we haven't seen each other. The students have already told the master, now let's go in and pay homage to him." , the province lives back to be mixed. The students go to serve first, and the in-laws will come."

I'm done talking.Ximen Qing was overjoyed.So he taught his followers to take a few companions from Zhai's family, and first carried the twenty loads of gold and silver satin to the Taishi's mansion, and a group of people responded.Ximen Qing took the crown and came in a sedan chair.There was a commotion, shoulders rubbing backs, all officials, big and small, came to celebrate their birthdays.Ximen Qing saw an official from a distance, and he also came into Longde Square in a sedan chair.Ximen Qing took a closer look, but he recognized his old friend Miao Yuanwai from Yangzhou.Unexpectedly, the member Miao also saw Ximen Qing, and the two got off the sedan chair and bowed to each other, talking about the cold and warm.It turns out that this Miao member is also a rich man. He is also a scattered official. He has always made friends with Cai Taishi's family. He also came to celebrate his birthday at that time and met an old friend.At that moment, the two hurriedly exchanged a few words, asked about the apartment, and parted ways.

When Ximenqing came to the Grand Master's Mansion, he saw: the green field opened up in the hall, and the smoke rose from the pavilion.In front of the gate, it is as spacious as a revolving horse, and it is tall and tall enough to stand up a flag.Among the brocade bushes, the wind sends the thrushes to sound skillfully; in the pile of gold and silver, the sun reflects the fragrance of beautiful trees and flowers.There are living screens on the left and right, each with Yiguang and red brush; the house is full of dead treasures, one piece of Zhou Ding and Shang Yi.There are twelve bright pearls hanging in the room, so why use lamp oil in the dark night; there are three thousand pearls and shoes on the door, and they are all celebrities during the day.Officials, big and small, from all over Kyushu came to congratulate; the six ministers and the governors of the three sides all bowed their heads.It is exactly: except for the emperor who has been expensive for thousands of years, only the prime minister of the current dynasty respects.

Ximen Qinggong entered the gate, followed by Butler Zhai, only to see that the middle gate was closed, and the officials all entered through the corner gate.Ximen Qing asked, "Why didn't you open the middle door for today's big event?"

Zhai Guanjia said: "The Zhongmen used to be an official family, so people dare not leave."

Ximen Qing and Zhai Qian entered several doors, all of which were guarded by military officers, and there was no confusion at all.Seeing Zhai Qian, they all leaned over and asked the housekeeper, "Where did you come from?"

Butler Zhai replied: "She came to Shandong to pay homage to the birthday master."

After all, I walked through a few doors and turned a few corners. It was nothing more than painted pillars and carved beams.Faintly heard the sound of drum music, as if in the sky.Ximen Qing asked again: "The houses here are isolated, where are the drums and music coming from?"

Housekeeper Zhai said: "This is the female music taught by the master. There are 24 people in a class. They all know the Tianmo dance, the neon dress dance, and the Guanyin dance. But the master plays for breakfast, lunch, and evening banquets. Now I think it's breakfast. "

Before Ximen Qing heard the words, he felt a strange fragrance in his nose, and the music was approaching.Housekeeper Zhai said: "This is close to the master's study, so take it easy."

Turning to the corridor, I saw a hall, like a treasure hall and a fairy palace.In front of the hall, there are rare birds such as cranes and peacocks, as well as viburnum, epiphyllum, and Buddha mulberry, which bloom all year round and are shimmering, overwhelming.Before Ximen Qing dared to break in, he asked Butler Zhai to go in first, and then walked side by side to the front of the hall.I saw a man in a gorilla red python suit sitting on the tiger skin chair in the hall, he was the Grand Master.There are twenty or thirty beauties lined up behind the screen, all dressed in palace-style makeup, holding scarves and fans, hugging him.Butler Zhai also stood aside.Ximen Qing bowed four times, Grand Master Cai also got up, and returned the salute on the cashmere slip. ──This is the first time we met.After falling behind, Steward Zhai approached Taishi Cai's ear, whispered a few words, Ximen Qing ignored those words, and bowed four times, but Taishi Cai didn't answer. ──These four worships are to recognize the godfather, so I accepted it.Ximen Qing opened his speech and addressed him as father and son: "My son is not so filial to grandpa. Today is my birthday. I have prepared a few special ceremonies to express the meaning of thousands of miles of goose feathers. May the master live longer than Nanshan."

Cai Taishi said: "This is so painful!"

Please sit down.The person on duty brought up a chair, Ximen Qing bowed upwards and said, "Sit down."

Sit on the west side and have tea.Butler Zhai ran out of the door in a panic and asked all the gift bearers to come in.After a while, twenty loads of presents were placed under the steps.Opened the lid of the cool box, and presented a gift: a set of big red python robes, a set of official green dragon robes, twenty pieces of Han brocade, twenty pieces of Shu brocade, twenty pieces of Huohuan cloth, twenty pieces of Western cloth, and the rest A total of 200 pieces of flower ruler heads, a lion-man jade belt, a gold-inlaid Qinanxiang belt, ten pairs of jade cups and rhinoceros cups, eight red gold flower cups, ten pearls, and another [-] taels of gold, free Go to Taishi Cai as a courtesy.Cai Taishi looked at the ceremony and saw that it was carried for twenty or so. He was very happy and said "Thank you!"

So he asked Steward Zhai to put it into the warehouse.On the one hand, he ordered wine and hospitality.Seeing that he was in a hurry, Ximen Qing stood up and resigned from Grand Master Cai.The grand master said: "In that case, come early in the afternoon."

Ximen Qing bowed again, stood up and came out.Cai Taishi gave it a few steps, but then stopped.Ximen Qing still came out of the mansion with Housekeeper Zhai.Housekeeper Zhai has something to do in the mansion, so don't go in.

Ximen Qing came back to Zhai's house, took off his crown and belt, and had already had lunch all afternoon.Back in the study, he took a nap. It happened that Cai Taishi sent someone to invite him to the banquet. Ximenqing thanked him for some money and went first.Even if the crown and belt were reorganized, Dai'an was asked to seal many rewards and make a worship box to fill them. Following four young men, they came back to see the Grand Master's mansion in a sedan chair.When Taishi Cai came to celebrate that day, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty invited each of them to drink.Starting from the next day, there are three stops: the first day is for the emperor's relatives and inner ministers, the second day is for ministers and government officials, and the third day is for internal and external officials.Only Ximen Qing, a visitor from afar, and a lot of gifts, Grand Master Cai was very happy, so he was the only one invited on Zhengri.Seeing that Ximen Qing had arrived, he hurried out of the pavilion to greet him.Ximen Qing continued to be humble and said, "Grandpa goes first."

With his back bent, he stepped gently into the sill. Cai Taishi said: "It's too much trouble for you to follow me from afar, and it will damage your long appearance. Sit down a little today, and show less enthusiasm."

Ximen Qing said: "The child wears the sky and the earth, all thanks to grandpa Hongfu, a little respect, what's the point of worrying about it!"

The two whispered and laughed, really like father and son. 24 beauties played music together, and the officials on duty poured wine.Cai Taishi wanted to share a cup with Ximen Qing, but Ximen Qing dared not refuse, so he only took one cup, drank it up, and then sat down at the table.Ximenqing asked Shutong to take a golden peach cup, poured a cup full, walked to Taishi Cai's table, knelt down on his knees and said, "May grandpa live a thousand years!"

Grand Master Cai said happily, "Get up, baby."

Take it and drink it.Ximen Qing got up and sat down as before.At that time, the Huayan in the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of rare and rare things, needless to say.Ximenqing drank until dusk, and rewarded all the executives with rewards, and then said goodbye: "Grandpa is expensive, so I thank you for this, and I dare not come to see you again in the future."

After leaving the mansion, he still went to Zhai's house to rest.

The next day, when I wanted to pay homage to Miao Yuan, I followed Dai'an for a day, but stayed in Eunuch Li's room behind the imperial city.Dai'an took the post to report, and member Miao came out to greet him and said, "The student just wanted to talk to a close friend, and it happened to be a coincidence."

Just leave Ximen Qing Yanyan.Ximen Qing refused, so he had to stay.At present, there are countless mistakes in mountains, delicacies and seas.There are also two singing boys, with beautiful features and eyes, who suddenly opened their throats and sang a few sets of songs.Ximen Qing pointed to Dai'an and Qintong and said to Miao: "These idiots only know how to eat and drink, how can they compare with those two!"

Member Miao said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the old man who can't serve you, if you love it, it's so difficult to give it to you!"

Ximen Qingqian thanked him for not daring to take people away.After drinking it deeper, I said goodbye to Miao Yuan, and still came to Zhai's house to have a rest.In those few days, the officials in charge of the prime minister's mansion invited each other to drink and lingered for eight or nine days.Ximenqing's heart is like an arrow, so he asks Dai'an to pack his luggage.Steward Zhai had to die hard to keep him, so he had to drink for another night, recounting his in-laws, and was extremely attached to him.Get up early the next day to say goodbye, and go to Shandong.All the way with water, lodging, wind and meals, it's a no-brainer.

Let's talk about Yueniang's family, since Ximenqing went to Tokyo to celebrate her birthday, the sisters looked eagerly every time, and they each made some needles in the room, and couldn't come out to play.Only Pan Jinlian is dressed like a flower and like a jade, with a pretty face, in the girl's sidekick, either guessing cards, or wiping cards, talking, laughing, crazy and not good.He was laughing and laughing, regardless of what people saw, he only wanted to hook up with Chen Jingji.Every day I just walk around in the snow cave in the garden, hoping for a coincidence.Jingji was also thinking about women, and would come in from time to time to find collisions, and when he saw no one, he would flirt with him, smack his lips and make a kiss, he only hated people with too many eyes, and couldn't enjoy the party to his heart's content.It is exactly: Although I have not entered the Wushan Dream, I have met the God of Luoshui at the right time.

One day, Wu Yueniang, Meng Yulou, and Li Ping'er were sitting on the same ground, only to see Dai'an rushing in the door in a hurry, saw Yueniang and everyone kowtow, and reported: "Father is back."

Yueniang asked, "Where are you now?"

Dai'an said: "The little one rode all the way to the mouth, holding the horse card first, so he arrived home first. Dad is about twenty miles away at this time of year."

Yue Niang asked: "Have you ever eaten?"

Dai'an said: "I have eaten since morning, but I have never eaten lunch."

Then Yueniang ordered the whole meal to be served, and at the same time, she went to the hall to greet her with her six sisters and friends.It's exactly: Yingying is here when the poet is old, and Yanyan is busy when the son returns.

Every time the wives and concubines wait in the hall for a long time, Ximen Qingfang gets off the sedan chair at the door, and all the wives and concubines welcome them in together.Ximen Qing first met with Yueniang, and then Meng Yulou, Li Ping'er, and Pan Jinlian met in turn, and each talked about warmth and warmth.After falling behind, Shu Tong, Qin Tong, and Hua Tong also came to kowtow, and went to the kitchen to eat.Ximenqing explained in detail how he went to stay at Zhai's house after a hard journey, thanked Taishi Cai for his kindness, and drank wine with the Prime Minister every day.Yin asked Li Ping'er: "How is the child? Are the official medicines you have taken for your body fulfilled? Although I am going to Tokyo, I can't stay home."

Li Ping'er said: "The child is fine. After taking the medicine, I feel better."

While Yueniang packed the luggage and the next trip sent by Taishi Cai, she cooked and celebrated with Ximen.In the evening, wine is set up to meet Ximenqing.Ximen rested in Yueniang's room on the eve of Qingwan.The two are sweet rains after a long drought, and old acquaintances when you meet in a foreign land.There is no need to say the love.

The next day, Chen Jingji and the eldest sister also came to see, and talked about the accounts of the store.Those who were inquired by the earl and Chang Zhijie came to visit.After Ximen Qing came out to meet each other, the two said together: "Brother has worked hard all the way."

Ximenqing then explained in detail about the affairs of Fuli in Tokyo and the relationship between the care and treatment of the grand master.The two only care about envy.On that day, the two of Ximen Qingliu had a day of wine.Chang Zhijie stood up and said to Ximen Qing: "I have something to ask, I don't know if I can take care of you?"

As he spoke, he just lowered his face and half swallowed.Ximen Qing said, "But it doesn't matter."

Chang Zhijie said: "It's really inconvenient to live in a house. I want to find a house to settle down, but I don't have any money. So I ask my brother to give me some money. In the future, I will add some interest money and return it to my brother."

Ximen Qing said: "It's very profitable to get along with each other! I'm busy now, how can I ask for money? Let's wait for the cargo ship from Han to come home. I have a place."

After all, Chang Zhijie and Ying Earl thanked him, it's no problem.

Let's say that Miao Yuanwai met Ximen Qing and promised two song boys at the banquet.I don't want Ximen Qing to return home like an arrow, and he will come back without saying goodbye to him.Member Miao also said that Ximenqing was in Beijing, and his companions came to Zhai's house to ask, only to find out that Ximenqing's had gone.Member Miao thought to himself: "If a gentleman says something, he will whip him quickly. Since I promised him, how can I break my promise!"

So I called two song boys and said: "I invited the officials of the East and West Gates of Shanxi the day before yesterday, and I promised you two. Now I will send you to his house. You should pack your luggage early."

The two song boys knelt together and said: "The little one has been serving Yuanwai for many years. I don't know how much effort the member has spent teaching me these southern songs, but I don't keep my own happiness. How can I give it to others?"

After all, she burst into tears.The member also felt miserable, and said: "You also said that, why do we have to give it away? It's just: 'People don't have faith, so I don't know what to do.'──The words of the sage Confucius are against the law! Now I can't help you, wait for us to repair a book, send someone to take you there, and teach him to look at you well."

The two singing boys couldn't resist, so they had to promise.Miao Yuanwai asked Mr. Menguan to write a letter, expressing his intention of seeing off the song boy.He also wrote a gift list, sealed some chitou books and handkerchiefs, and sent his family members Miao Shi to send the books and escort two song boys to Ximen Qing's house.The two song boys thanked the members with tears, got on their horses, and came looking at Shandong Avenue together.One day when they arrived in Qinghe County, the three of them got off their horses to visit, and went all the way to the county memorial archway Ximen Qingjia's mansion to cast.

But since Ximenqing came home from Tokyo, he has been busy every day, giving gifts, drinking wine, making three friends every day, so he never went to the yamen.That day, when I had nothing to do, I went to the yamen to be promoted to a painting office, and those criminals who were released were interrogated with Xia Tixing one by one.After half a day of interrogation, after the business was over, Fang took a sedan chair, and several prisoners shouted, and came home in crowds.Seeing that Miao Shi and the two song boys had been waiting for a long time, they followed Ximen Qing's sedan chair to the front hall, knelt down and said, "The young one is a member of Yangzhou Miao who has a book to visit my father."

Then present the book and present.Ximen Qing said quickly, "Please get up."

He opened the side door and looked at it carefully.Seeing that he was sending him a song boy, I was overjoyed, and said: "I met you unexpectedly, and I didn't want to fall in love with you. After drinking a word, I really gave it to you, and I didn't worry about sending it from thousands of miles away. You are really a thousand dollars. A promise. Rare, rare!"

The two singing boys walked by again, kowtowed four more times, and said: "The little ones outside the party members will serve the old man, and I hope that the old man will look good!"

Ximen Qing said: "Get up, I will naturally reuse it."

On the one hand, it is called to set up wine and meals, and it takes care of Miao Shi and two song boys;No, Han Daoguo's wife, Wang Liu'er, sees that Ximen Qing is busy, and needs to communicate with him from time to time, but no one communicates, so she plans to send his brother Wang Jing, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and also born handsome, to serve Ximen Qing. , also entered the door on this day.Ximenqing accepted it as an example, and was also called serving in the study.

Ximen Qing was distributing in the hall when the Earl suddenly came.Ximenqing told him about the fact that the Miao staff sent out the song boys, so he asked Dai'an to ask for food and wine, and asked him to sit down, and asked two song boys to sing Nanqu.The two song boys approached the table, stood side by side, held sandalwood boards in their hands, and sang a set of "Xin Shui Ling", "Xiaoyuan put Jiangmei last night", it really sounded like a cloud, and it was tuned into white snow.The Earl was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised: "Brother's great blessing, there are these wonderful people in the future. It's hard to be so kind to this Miao."

Ximen Qing said: "I have to find a heavy gift to answer him."

On the one hand, he named the song boy two more names: one is called Chunhong and the other is called Chunyan.He was asked to sing a few little words, and the two of them had a drink, and the earl just left.It's exactly: the wind, the flowers, the shadows and the new warbler are all singers and dancers before the feast.
