Chapter 65 May the same acupoint prosper at the funeral for a while and guard the lonely spirit in the middle of the night
The poem said: Tobacco in Xianggao is green, and tears are shed in the east wind to recall Xijun.Seeing that Chang'e can enter the moon, the goddess of false doubts interprets it as a cloud.

Sitting idle in golden scissors in the shade of flowers, swimming in bamboo in spring and cold green skirts.Leaving the painting incomplete, I was so sad that I couldn't bear to read the palindrome.

By the way, on October 28th, Li Ping'er's [-]th, Taoist Wu of the Jade Emperor Temple received a fast, and invited sixteen Taoists to build a fast altar at home with banners raised.Another Langzhong came to write a letter, and Ximen Qing took care of the visitor.In Wu Daoguan's temple, three animals were brought to offer sacrifices, and another ruler was used as a laying ceremony.The Taoists went around the coffin to spread the mantra, and Wu Daoguan worshiped before the spirit.Ximenqing and Jingji returned the salute, thanking him: "Master spends a lot of money, why should I take it?"

Wu Daoguan said: "Xiaodao is very ashamed. He was supposed to help his wife once, but his strength is weak, and he made a rough sacrifice to express his intention."

Ximen Qing ordered to accept it, and sent the box bearer back.On that day, the scriptures were turned around in three dynasties, the gods were created, the nine hells were broken, and the spirits were summoned. The whole process does not need to be elaborated.

On the second day, Uncle Han's family outside the door first came to offer sacrifices.At that time, Meng Yulou's brother Meng Rui came home as a businessman. Seeing that there was a funeral at Ximenqing's side, he followed Uncle Han's side to offer sacrifices, begged for a tribute, and sent a lot of personnel.Ximen celebrated the ceremony and entered the Yulou room to meet.Ximenqing also set up a table to take care of him, without saying anything.

At noon that day, Li Gongji, magistrate of the county, Qian Sicheng, magistrate of the county, Ren Lianggui, dianshi Xia Gongji, and Di Sixiu, magistrate of Yanggu county, all five officials, all fighting elements, came here in filial piety. Paper hanging question.Ximen Qing took care of the banquet in the roll shed, invited Uncle Wu and Wen Xiucai to accompany them, and the three young children played and sang.

When I was drinking and went to a lively place, I suddenly reported: "Old Man Huang from the Work Department of the Brick Factory is here to pay tribute."

The flustered Ximenqing hurriedly put on filial piety clothes to wait on the coffin, Wen Xiucai greeted him outside the gate early, let him go to the front hall, changed his clothes and came in.The family members brought joss sticks, paper and gold pieces to the coffin. Mr. Huang lit the incense.Director Huang said: "Students don't know that their respect is gone, so they will be late, forgive their sins, forgive their sins!"

Ximen Qing said: "Students have always been condescending, but now I am honored by the old gentleman for paying homage and insulting the kindness. I am very grateful."

After finishing the ceremony, let him sit down on the roll shed.Ximen Qing and Wen Xiucai accompanied each other, holding tea from left and right to eat.Mr. Huang said: "Yesterday, Song Songyuan sent his best wishes to Mr. Song. He also heard that Mrs. Ling had done it, and he also came to ask questions. There are many things in Zhengnai's way. He is now living in Jeju. Sir, I don't know yet, the imperial court is now building Genyue , ordered Taiwei Zhu Xi to go to Jiangnan, Huxiang, and collect flowers and stones, and transport ships to the river one after another. The first shipment will be on the Huai River. The emperor also sent six Huang Taiweis in front of the palace to welcome Qingyun Wantai Qifeng - two feet long. , a few feet wide, were covered with yellow felt, and the yellow flag was raised. The number of ships came from the Shandong River. There was no water in the Kuang River, and the eight counties were led by the people. The officials were hanging upside down, and the people were in dire straits. Song Daochang led the prefectures and counties, I have personally experienced everything, and the case is like a mountain. I have worked hard day and night, and I have no time to communicate. Kuang Taiwei came from Beijing soon. Song Daochang said that he must lead the officials of the third division and pick him up. I think there is no one here who knows me well. Students come here, I would like to ask you to do something in the Zunfu, and I would like to invite Captain Liuhuang to have a meal, will you agree to it before the trial?"

Because of calling left and right: "Tell you Song Lao to come up on a mission."

Two officials in green clothes knelt down and took out a pair of gold segments, a piece of agarwood, two sticks of white wax, and a piece of tissue paper from the felt bag.Mr. Huang said: "This is the gift from the Duke of Song Dynasty. The two letters are for the officials of the two divisions and the eight government offices to distribute the wine-twelve officials from the two divisions and eight officials from the government, totaling 22 points, a total of [-] taels .”

Hand it over to Ximen Qing: "How about a laborious envoy?"

Ximen Qing resigned again and again: "Students are obliged to stay at home, what can I do, what can I do?"

Because asked: "When is the welcome?"

Master Huang said: "It's still early, and it will be half a month. Eunuch Huang hasn't got up yet in Beijing."

Ximen Qing said: "Students will only be invited on October [-]th. Since Song Gongzu and the old man ordered, dare not accept the order! But I dare not accept the money. How many tables are there, just follow the order, and the students are all satisfied."

Mr. Huang said: "Siquan's intention is wrong! Songyuan entrusted the students to come to trouble him. This is a public ceremony of various officials in Shandong Province, and it is not from Songyuan himself. How can we see it? If he refuses, the students will go back to Songyuan, and there will be no more. Dare to bother me!"

After hearing this, Ximen Qing said, "Students have the right to lead."

Because of ordering Dai'an and Wang Jing to follow.Asked how many tables to prepare, Mr. Huang said: "Six Huang prepared a large table for eating and watching. Song Gong and the two divisions all have flat-headed tables, and the lower government officials are just dispersing the seats. I promise Leren, and I have my own errands to serve. There is no need for the family to call again."

After finishing speaking, the tea and soup were changed twice, and he made his speech and got up.Ximenqing kept the money, and Master Huang said: "Students still have to pay respects to old Mr. Shangliutang. He used to be the county magistrate in the student's place, and then transferred to the Chengdu government to promote officials. Now he is the son of Liangquan, and he is with the students The same year as the township examination."

Ximen Qing said: "The students don't know that the old man and Shang Liangquan are very close, and the two springs are also friends with the students."

Master Huang got up, and Ximen Qing said: "Old Mr. Fan pays tribute to Song Gongzu, and I will wait for you in my humble house."

Mr. Huang said: "When the time comes, Songyuan will send someone to inform Mr., it should not be too extravagant."

Ximen Qing said, "Students know."

Send out the gate, get on the horse and go.

The officials in the county, when they heard that Mr. Huang led the patrolling superiors, they all hid in the small roll shed under the mountain to drink, and ordered their men to hide the sedan chair and horse aside.At that time, Ximenqing returned to the roll shed to meet with all the officials. He said that Song Xunguan led two divisions and eight governments to come, and asked Liuhuang Taiwei to come out of the moon to welcome him.All the officials said: "It is the prefectures and counties that are in great distress. If the imperial envoys come to this matter, everything that should be greeted, grannies, public banquets, utensils, and husbands is all from the prefectures and counties, and the prefectures and counties will take them For the people, public and private affairs are extremely difficult, and this is not the case. We still hope that Siquan will be promoted by his superiors, which is a testament to his love."

After speaking, they sat down for a while, said goodbye and got up to leave.

Stop babbling.At Li Ping'er Sanqi, Elder Daojian of Yongfu Temple outside the gate led sixteen monks to chant sutras, wearing brocade cassocks, Pilu hats, big cymbals and drums, very neat.On the eighth day of October, which is April Seventh, Lama Zhao of Baoqing Temple outside the west gate, together with sixteen congregations, were invited to come and recite the scriptures, build altars and dance sand, sprinkle flowers and rice for incense, and recite mantras.The fasting offerings all use milk tea cheese and the like, and the hangings are all nine ugly demons in disguise, wearing tasseled glass, hanging skulls, biting babies, sitting on demons, wrapping snakes around their waists, or having four heads and eight arms, or Holding a spear in hand, red hair and blue face, ugly and ugly.After lunch, drink meat and wine.Ximenqing was not at home that day, and went to the grave with Mr. Yinyang Xu to break the ground and return in the afternoon.In the evening, the Lama was sent away.

The next day, the wine and rice on the top of the mountain, table delicacies and other things should be transported, and then entrusted to the supervisor to set up sheds in front and back of the village, and three more sheds beside the cave in the grave.Invite the neighbors to come first, and wait for the big wine and big meat.When they are about to leave, they all return with a burden on their shoulders, so there is no need to elaborate.

On the [-]th, during the daytime, first the singers hung up the coffin with gongs and drums to participate in the spirit, and hung up "Five Ghosts", "Zhang Tianshi's Obsession with Ghosts", "Zhong Kui Playing the Little Ghost", "Lao Tzu Passing the Letter Pass", "Six Thieves" Naming Amitabha, Plum Blossoms in Xueli, Zhuang Zhou's Dream of Butterflies, Heavenly King Descends to Earth, Water, Fire and Wind, Dong Bin Flying Sword and Slaying the Yellow Dragon, Zhao Taizu Sending Jing Niang A Thousand Miles Away Watch inside.After Shenbaling left, relatives inside and outside came to bid farewell to the spirit, burned paper and cried a lot.

When the next day is issued, the famous banners and various flags and pavilions will be brought out early in the morning, and monks, drummers, Xiyue and human servants will all come to serve.Ximen Qing asked the commander-in-chief Zhou Shoubei in advance to ask for 64 patrol soldiers, all with bows and horses, and they were all dressed up.Ten people were left to guard at home, and forty people set up the horse path beside the wood, walking on two wings.In the yamen, another twenty troops lined up to take care of the underworld.There are also twenty guards on the tomb, in charge of accepting sacrifices.On that day, officials, men of letters, relatives, neighbors and friends came to see the mourners, and the streets and alleys were filled with noisy carriages and horses.There are more than a hundred sedan chairs for the family and relatives, and there are dozens of small sedan chairs for the bustard of the third courtyard.Xu Yinyang lifted the coffin at a certain time, Ximenqing left Sun Xue'e and two female monks to look after the house, and Ping'an'er and two platoon soldiers guarded the front door.Son-in-law Chen Jingji knelt in front of the coffin and threw the basin, and 24 people carried it on the shoulders.First, the monk official of Baoen Temple was invited to lift up the coffin, then turned around the main street and looked south.There are crowds of people watching from both sides.It was a sunny day, so it was a good funeral.But see: the gentle wind blows the Qimo, the drizzle moistens the fragrant dust, the dawn of the east rises, and the lingering smoke of the Northland suddenly gathers.With Dongdong's throat, the flowers and mourning drums can't stop making noise; tinkling, the ground gongs cheer up all night.The inscription Jing is in motion, and the big book is nine feet red; the fire is set atop the sky, and the yellow fog is scattered for a long time.Ferocious and ferocious trailblazer, with a golden ax on his shoulder;The eight cave immortals are free and happy, the tortoise and crane circle around; the slim and slim four-haired girl is accompanied by tigers and deer.The lively lotus-picking boats are full of jokes; they grow up and grow up on stilts, wearing armor and helmets.There are 24 young Taoist boys in Qingqing and Xiuxiu, all of whom are in Xiayi Taoist buns, and they have a school of fairy sounds; [-] fat and fat monks, all of them are in brocade cassocks, and they transfer the rituals of the five directions.There are [-] large silk pavilions, all of which are green and red; [-] small silk pavilions, all surrounded by green pearls.On the left side, the Tiancang is connected to the basement; on the right side, the gold mountain and the silver mountain form a team.In charge of the cooking, there are pots of eight treasures; the incense and candle pavilion is for the rituals of three offerings.There are six pavilions with hundreds of flowers, and there are thousands of beautiful brocades; one sedan chair that attracts souls is tied with hundreds of knots of yellow silk.Here, flowers compete with snow willows, and Baogai and silver buildings form a team there.Gold and silver flags protect the coffin tightly; white silk umbrellas and green silk umbrellas are surrounded by additional frames.The meritorious cloth recruits, and the filial piety mourns.Fight the road and line up the army, holding the olive pole and shouting for support; welcoming the mourning gods, playing martial arts and circling left and right.Selling solutions is like a hawk, and a horse is like an ape.Standing shoulders, fighting, wearing money every belly, golden rooster is independent, everyone applauds, everyone competes for praise.Support your shoulders and squeeze your back, don't distinguish between the virtuous and the foolish; seeing and watching, how noble and humble!Zhang San is fat and stupid, and he is only out of breath; Li Si is short and short, and he frequently moves his feet.The white-headed old man leaned on his mustache with his crutches; the green-haired beauty also brought children to see the funeral.

Wu Yueniang, Li Jiaoer and others have more than ten sedan chairs on top of each other, closely following each other.After President Ximen Qing filially dressed his relatives and friends, Chen Jingji supported his coffin tightly and walked out of Dongjiekou.Ximen celebrates the ceremony and invites Taoist Wu of the Jade Emperor Temple to come and hang the truth.Wearing a red and five-colored crane cloak, wearing a nine-yang thunder scarf on his head, with his feet on a red boat, and holding a tooth wat in his hand, sitting on the shoulders of four people, he came to welcome the funeral.Holding Li Ping'er's big shadow in his hands, Chen Jingji knelt in front of him, and the funeral stopped.Everyone listened to him chanting loudly: Gong Wei, the spirit of Li Shi, a man in Jinyi Ximen Gong, was 27 years old when he lived in Riyang. He died on the [-]th ugly hour.Fu Yizun Ling, a famous scholar with a beautiful quality, and a beautiful pavilion.Endowed with the appearance of Huayue and the beauty of Cymbidium.Yu De is soft and gentle, with a gentle nature.Match me Xijun, Kexiong husband and wife.Being in the boudoir is virtuous and virtuous, and Zi Qinse is good for harmony.I once planted blue fields and searched for Chuwan.It's a good time to enjoy a hundred years of happiness, but it's a pity that the spring is thirty-nine.Alas!The bright moon is easy to lack, and good things are hard to come by.Kindness is impermanent, and there are countless shortenings.Today's coffin is carried on the road, Dan is facing the wind, a good husband dances in front of the coffin, and filial relatives mourn in the alley.Parting is deeply affectionate and difficult, and the voice and appearance are far away and forgotten.A certain class of absurd crown hairpins are ashamed to lead the Xuanjiao.Ashamed of Xin Yuanping's magical skills, he abides by Xuan Yuanshi's legacy.You can only show Cui Wei's face in the mirror, but it is difficult to return to the butterfly in Zhuang Zhou's dream.Washing nectar and fertile nectar, super-knowledge is in the purple mansion; wearing a hundred treasures and facing the seven truths, leading the pure soul out of the dark way.One mind has nothing to worry about, and the four elements are all empty.Bitter, bitter, bitter!Gasification breeze shape returns to the soil.The true nature of a spirit can never come back, and it has changed countless times.Listen to the last sentence: Hey!Jingshuang doesn't know where to go, and the true capacity is reserved for future generations to see.

After Wu Daoguan finished reading, he sat on the sedan chair, and the sedan chair rolled back.The drums and music here are loud, and the mourning sounds move the ground. Only then did the funeral get up and meander out of the south gate.All the relatives and friends accompanied Ximen Qing, went to the top of the gate to ride a horse, and Chen Jingji helped the coffin to Wuliyuan on the top of the mountain.

It turned out that Zhang Tuanlian, who was sitting in the camp, led two hundred troops, and together with Liu and Xue, the two inner ministers, set up a tent at Gaofu in front of the grave, blowing instruments, playing copper gongs and drums, welcoming the funeral, and watching the burning of the funeral vessels. The paper was tied, and the smoke rose to the sky.The coffin was carried down the mountain, and Mr. Xu led his men to do it, and hung it according to the Luo Jing. At that time, he buried the earth after the earth was cornered.Ximen Qing changes clothes, prepares a pair of rulers, and asks the commander-in-chief Zhou to be on guard.Weizhong officials and relatives and friends all competed for Laximen to celebrate the delivery of wine, drums and music blared, fireworks filled the ground, and it was very lively, needless to say.

After eating, she returned to her spirit in the afternoon, Wu Yueniang sat on the soul sedan chair, holding the god's soul banner, Chen Jingji helped the coffin bed, and the drummer Xile played on both sides of the sixteen small Taoist boys.Uncle Wu, Qiao Dahu, Uncle Wu, Uncle Hua, Uncle Shen, Uncle Meng, Earl Ying, Xie Xida, Wen Xiucai, and all the supervisors accompanied Ximen Qing into the city. The door of the house started a fire and entered.In Li Ping'er's room, the funeral has been completed, Mr. Xu's front hall is sacrificed to the gods, and all the doors are pasted with non-yellow talismans.Mr. Xie Xu went out with a ruler and five taels of silver, and all kinds of labor were dispersed.He also took out twenty slings of money, five slings for the patrolling soldiers, five slings for the platoon army in the Yamen, and ten slings for the soldiers and horses in the battalion.Take the post back to thank Zhou Shoubei, Zhang Tuanlian, and Xia Tixing, all of which are easy.Ximenqing wanted to keep Qiao Dahu and Uncle Wu to sit, but they all refused, so they made a speech and got up.Lai Baojin said, "I'm going to set up a shed to wait outside, and I'll come to dismantle the shed tomorrow."

Ximen Qing said: "The shed doesn't need to be dismantled, it will be dismantled after your father Song puts on a banquet."

Sent the painter to go.Later, Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Qiao were all guests, and they were still waiting for An Biling. They cried a lot before they went.

Ximenqing couldn't bear to rush home, so he came to Li Ping'er's room at night to rest with him in the spirit place.Seeing that the coffin is placed in the front, with a big shadow hanging beside it, inside the coffin is a bust, inside is a small brocade quilt, bed table, clothes, dowry, etc., all complete, under which are placed a pair of his little golden lotus, on the table Offering incense, lanterns and candles, gold dishes and jars, Ximen Qing cried unceasingly.Ling Yingchun built a bunk on the kang opposite, and at midnight, facing a lone lamp, half a window slanted to the moon, turned and fell asleep, sighed, and thought of a beautiful woman.There are poems to prove it: short sighs and long sighs to the locked window, the lonely shadow of dancing Luan is heartbroken.Three autumn rains in Lanku, Chuwan, and one night of frost in Wujiang.

I have violated my promise in my past life, and it is hard to find the fragrance of returning my soul in this life.If there are elves in Jiuquan, there are two broken hearts in the underground and the human world.

During the daytime, when offering tea and rice, Ximen Qingju watched the servant girl put it down, and he ate with him facing him.He raised his chopsticks and said, "Bring me some food!"

Do it as a gift.The servant girl and adoptive mother couldn't help crying while hiding her tears.Ruyi, the grandma, always handed tea and water in front of no one, was robbed, pinched, squeezed, interrupted to answer, and spent three nights and two nights.On this day, Ximen Qing had invited many officials and guests, and Nuan Tomb on the grave came home, and got drunk with others.Come in, and Yingchun will send you to rest.When I asked for tea at night, I asked Yingchun not to answer, so Ruyi came to deliver tea.Seeing him being dragged off the kang, Ximen Qing took the teacup and supported the quilt with his hands, on a whim, he wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed him, putting his tongue in his mouth.The wife started to smack without saying a word.Ximen Qingling took off his clothes and went to the kang, and the two of them hugged each other under the quilt. They were very happy, and they were all together.The wife said: "Since my father flattered me, and my mother is gone, the little daughter-in-law is willing to stay out of my father's house, so I can use it as I like."

Ximen Qing called out: "My son, you only serve me with your heart, and you are worried that you will not be able to support me!"

After hearing this, the wife flattered her all the way between the pillows and mats.

The next day, my wife got up in the morning, and Ximen Qing took shoes and feet, folded quilts, and did not rely on welcoming the spring, they were extremely attentive and omniscient.Ximenqing opened the door and found Li Pinger's four hairpins to reward him. His wife kowtowed and thanked him.Yingchunzhi accepted him, and the two became one.The wife is self-confident that she is favored, her heels are locked, and she can no longer ask others for help, so she is different from the past, dressing up in disguise, among the maids, talking and laughing.Pan Jinlian had already noticed it.

In the morning, Ximen Qing was sitting with the earl, when he suddenly reported that Song Yushi had sent someone to congratulate Taiwei Huang on a table of gold and silver wine vessels: two gold pots, two sets of gold platform cups, ten sets of small silver bells, two sets of Silver folding bowls, four pairs of silver bells, two big red pythons, two gold satin horses, ten jars of wine, and two sheep.Report: "The Taiwei's ship has arrived in Dongchang. Please prepare a banquet here early. We will welcome you on the [-]th."

Ximenqing knew his income, so he gave the visitor a tael of silver and sent it back in his notebook.Immediately exchange the silver with Ben Si and Lai Xing'er, set the table, stick the fruit, and arrange it with the comprador, needless to say in detail.Yin said to the earl: "Since he got sick, I haven't had a day of idleness. I just went out for the funeral, and I got out of this kind of trick again, making me flustered."

The count said: "You don't have to complain about this brother. You never courted him. He came to your door to bother you. Although you will accompany him with a few taels of silver for this feast of wine, until tomorrow, don't say that an imperial envoy from the imperial court will come. Let's just sit down with our family, and just the officials of Shandong Province, the governors and inspectors, and the scattered ranks of people and horses will also add a lot of glory to our family."

Ximen Qing said: "That's not it. I expect him to be [-] years away. I don't want to greet him on the [-]th. I'm so in a hurry. It's his fifth day again. I've already gone to write the money with Daoist Wu. How can it be changed again! Otherwise, how can it be messed up if the two-headed fire sticks are crowded together?"

Earl Ying said: "It doesn't matter, I calculated that my sister-in-law passed away on September 21th, and the [-]st of this month is May [-]th. You arranged wine on the [-]th, and it is not too late to recite scriptures with sister-in-law on the [-]th. "

Ximen Qing said: "What you said is true, I will send the boy back to Daoist Wu to change his date."

The earl said: "Brother, I have another one: Dongjin real person Huang, the imperial court sent him to Tai'an Prefecture to enter the golden bell to hang the imperial incense, to build a seven-day and night Luotian Dajiao, and now he lives in the temple. Before he got up, it would be good to teach him Daoist Wu invited him to do high-level meritorious deeds and lead religious affairs that day. We want to make him famous, and it will look good."

Ximen Qingdao: "It is said that this Master Huang is beneficial, so please invite him to come, so Nai Wu Daoguan accepts his sacrificial ceremony on fasting day, and activates him to suspend the truth when he goes out of the funeral. The Taoist boy sends the funeral, there is no reward for him, teach him to recite this sutra, It's just expressing my intentions. Now I invite Master Huang to do it myself, but it's not difficult for him?"

The count said: "Generally, he still accepts the fasting. Just teach him to ask Master Huang to do high-quality work. Brother only spent a few liang of silver more, for his sister-in-law, never for anyone else."

Ximenqing taught Chen Jingji how to write posts, and sealed an extra five taels of silver. He taught him to invite Master Huang early to recite scriptures on the 24th.That is to say, Dai'an rode to the mouth.

Ximen Qing sent the earl away and went into the back.I saw Wu Yueniang said: "Sister-in-law Ben bought two boxes, and his daughter and eldest sister will come to kowtow with him."

Ximen Qing asked, "Whose family?"

Mrs. Ben led his daughter, wearing a red satin jacket, a yellow silk skirt, and emerald flowers, and put a candle in and kowtowed four times to Ximen Qing.Yueniang said beside him: "We don't know, so this child was promoted in Mrs. Xia's room, and we just settled down yesterday. I married him in the 24th day, and only got him 30 taels of silver. Speaking of it, this child is also very good." Good stature, not like 15 years old, there are sixteen or seventeen years old. How long does it take to see you, and you will grow into it."

Ximen Qing said: "He told me at the banquet the day before yesterday that he wanted to promote two children to learn how to play and sing. I don't know if your children are with him."

So she taught Yueniang to let her into the room, set tea and sit down.After falling behind, Li Jiaoer, Meng Yulou, Pan Jinlian, Sun Xue'e, and the eldest sister all came to see the ceremony and sit with them.Before leaving, Yueniang gave a set of heavy silk clothes and a tael of silver. Everyone in Li Jiaoer had flowers, emeralds, sweat towels, makeup powder and so on.In the evening, Dai'an replied: "Wu Daoguan has collected the money, I understand. Huang Zhenren is still living in the temple, and he will return to Tokyo after [-]. Come early on the [-]th to lay the mandala."

On the second day of Ximen Celebration, the kitchen servants at home will be responsible for organizing the banquet, which must be neat. There are seven colored mountains on the gate and five colored mountains in front of the hall.On the [-]th, Song Yushi sent two county magistrates to watch the banquet: on the front of the hall, peacocks were screened, and the ground was surrounded by embroidered tables and curtains, decorated with flowers and chairs.Huang Taiwei is a big meal cluster plate with elbows, Dingsheng square sugar, eating and watching big table; two small table for viewing, are the governor and the inspector to sit with; the two sides are clothed by three divisions, and there are tables to sit in a row .The rest of the eight government officials are all on both sides of the shed outside the hall, and they only have flat-headed tables with five fruits and five vegetables.After watching, Ximenqing waited for tea and got up to answer the question.

On the next day, Fuyan led many officials and horses to greet the ship early, and put up a yellow flag with the word "imperial envoy" in his hand, holding the imperial edict and walking in his head. Armored uniforms, each leading the men and horses of the troops, surrounded by them, and the ceremonial staff are placed several miles away.Huang Taiwei wears red and multicolored double-hanging embroidered pythons, sits in a warm sedan chair with eight clusters of silver tops, and holds a tea-brown umbrella.There are countless deacons and servants in the back, all of whom are galloping and roaring, like the splendid brocade of thousands of flowers, following the advocacy.In loess schools, chickens and dogs don't hear, and woodcutters hide.People and horses passed Dongping Mansion and entered Qinghe County. The county magistrate knelt on the side of the road to greet him, shouting from left to right.Report along the way until Ximen Qingmen.The drums and music in Jiaofang shook the sky, and the deacons and servants on both sides were lined up in Tsing Yi, and the wings of geese lined up.Ximen Qing wears a crown and looks forward to the dust.After a long time, the people and horses were exhausted, the Taiwei got off the sedan chair and came in, followed by caressing and leading officials, big and small, rushing in.In the hall, there are zithers, fangs, clouds, dragon flutes, phoenix pipes, and fine music.The leader is Hou Meng, the capital censor of Shandong Province, and Song Qiaonian, the censor of inspection and supervision.The second is Gong Gong, the left governor of Shandong, He Qigao, the left governor, Chen Sizhen, the right governor, Ji Kanting, the right governor, Feng Tinghu, Wang Boyan, the right counselor, Zhao Na, the honest envoy, Han Wenguang, the interview envoy, Chen Zhenghui, the deputy envoy of Tixue, and Chen Zhenghui, the deputy envoy of military preparation. Lei Qiyuan and other two officers came to see, and the Taiwei gave a little courtesy.As for Xu Song from Dongchang Prefecture, Hu Shiwen from Dongping Prefecture, Lingyunyi from Yanzhou Prefecture, Han Bangqi from Xuzhou Prefecture, Zhang Shuye from Jinan Prefecture, Wang Shiqi from Qingzhou Prefecture, Huangjia from Dengzhou Prefecture, and Yeqian from Laizhou Prefecture, etc., The Taiwei replied with a long bow.As for the officials of control, control, defense, capital supervision, and regiment training, the Taiwei sits upright.The officials listened to the distribution and waited outside.Then, Ximenqing and Xia Tixing came up to meet and offer tea. Governor Hou and Song Xun pressed the cups forward, and played drums and music below.After serving the wine, the Taiwei sat down at the main table, pressed down the chairman next to him, and the rest of the officials, Ximen Qing and others sat down one by one.The actor in the teaching workshop handed over the handbook to play the music, and one of them played and sang the team dance, each with its own rhythm, making the most of its voice and appearance.When the banquet was performed, "Pei Jin Gong Still Brings Memorabilia" was folded, and the cooks offered roasted deer, flower pigs, soup with hundreds of treasures, and big rice siu mai.There are also four actors, zither, pipa and konghou, who come up to play and sing.

After singing, the soup has not been presented twice, and the music has been played three times.Following the deacons and others, Song Yushi sent two state officials to take care of their own tables and seats in the Ximen Qingjuan shed.For officials such as guards and governors, Ximen Qingdu is in the guest seat in front and has his own place to sit.Huang Taiwei ordered the left and right to take ten taels of silver to reward various human services, and then he watched the sedan chair and got up.The officials couldn't keep the money again and again, so they sent it out of the gate.Drums, music, sheng and reeds are played repeatedly, the guards on the two streets are noisy, the preaching is clear, and there are many people.All the officials got on their horses and sent them away. After the Taiwei ordered them to be dismissed, they put up their sedan chairs and left.

Song Yushi and Governor Hou ordered the military guards under the capital to escort them to the imperial ship for a round-trip conversation.Table utensils, congratulatory goat wine, hand-delivered to Hu Shiwen, the magistrate of Dongping Prefecture, and Zhou Xiu, the guard, to the shipyard in person, and the delivery is clear.Back in the hall, I thanked Ximenqing and said, "Today, I am burdened and disturbed. I deeply feel, deeply feel! There is a shortage of funds, and I will make up for it."

Ximen Qing hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The lowly position pays attention to the teaching and love, and the grand ceremony has been humiliated. Yesterday, I was honored again. I live in a humble place. I am afraid that there will be nowhere. Grandpa Wanli forgive me. Fortunately!"

Xie Bi, the censor of the Song Dynasty, ordered the left and right to watch the sedan chair, and got up together with the governor in waiting. The officials of the two divisions and eight governments all left.All kinds of human service were scattered.Ximenqing returned to the hall, rewarded the actors, officials and musicians with wine and food, and ordered them to disperse, leaving only four young officials with official status to wait on them.The desktops of the officials inside and outside the hall are all owned by the officials' subordinates.

Seeing that it was still early in the morning, Ximenqing tidied up his stuff and saved up four tables and seats. He asked people to invite Uncle Wu, Earl Ying, Xie Xida, Wen Xiucai, Fu Zixin, Gan Yisheng, Han Daoguo, Ben Si, Cui Ben and his son-in-law Chen Jingji. ──From the fifth watch, I took care of all kinds of hard work, and sat down to drink three cups.After a while, people came and put wine on the table to drink.The count said: "Brother, how often did Huang Taiwei sit today? Are you happy or not?"

Han Daoguo said: "Today, the old men of the six Huangs saw that our family's banquet is neat, and all of them are not dissatisfied. The governor and the inspector are very grateful. Thank you again and again."

The count said: "It would be impossible to set up this banquet at the second house. Our house doesn't have such a big place, and we don't have the manpower in the house. Today, at least a thousand people came in, and they have to take care of them. Brother, I will accompany you." For a few taels of silver, our Shandong province has become famous."

Wen Xiucai said: "The suzerain of the students, Mr. Chen, is also here for a preview."

Ximenqing asked his name, and Wen Xiucai said: "The man named Chen Zhenghui is Nailang, Mr. Chen Liaoweng, who was born in Juancheng County, Henan Province. Learned."

Ximen Qing said, "He's only 24 years old?"

Just as I was talking, the soup and rice came up.

After everyone finished eating, Ximen Qing called the four little You'er and asked, "What are your four names?"

Answer: "The younger ones are Zhou Cai, Liang Duo, Ma Zhen, and Han Bi."

The count said, "Aren't you Han Jinchuaner's family?"

Han Bi knelt down and said, "Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er are young girls."

Ximen Qing thought of Li Ping'er: "I won't see him when I serve wine today."

Instructed Xiao Youer: "Bring your instruments over here and sing 'Luoyang Flowers, Liang Yuanyue' and I'll listen."

Han Bi and Zhou Cai plucked the zither and plucked the ruan, and sang: Putian Le Luoyang Flower, Liang Yuanyue.Good flowers must be bought, and bright moons must be credited.The flowers lean on the railing to watch the rotten flowers bloom, and the moon once asked the group for the night.The month has profit and loss, and the flowers bloom and thank.I want the hardest parting in life.When the flowers wither, spring is near; when the moon is gone, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here; when people are gone, when will they come?
After singing, Earl Ying saw the sourness in Ximen Qing's eyes, and said, "Brother taught me to sing this song, does it remind me of my deceased sister-in-law?"

Seeing the fruit plate on the back, Ximenqing called, "Second Brother Ying, you just annoyed me by saying that if he is here, he has handled the adjustments. Since he is gone, he has been teased by the maid, what do you look like? Good Ying I can't even eat a single veggie!"

Wen Xiucai said: "For such a grand setting, it doesn't mean that there is no one in the old gentleman's donation, it is enough."

The earl said: "Brother Hugh said that. You can't feel the pain in your heart. If you just say this, I'm afraid that the hearts of other sister-in-laws will be indifferent for a while."

Talking at the banquet here, I didn't want Pan Jinlian to listen to the singing behind the soft wall, but when I heard Ximen Qing say this, she went to the back and told Yueniang everything.Yueniang said: "Just go as he says, but what are you doing now? When he was there the day before yesterday, he promised to serve Li Jiaoer with the Xiuchun sect. He opened his eyes and called me, saying, 'How long have you been dead? , Just scatter the girls in his room!' Teach me and just say nothing. In the past two days, with his wife and two girls, he looks a little crazy? But I just opened my mouth and said that we squeezed him. "

Jin Lian said: "This wife has changed her appearance for the past two days. I'm afraid that the thief has no shame. He stays in the house all day long and won't see his wife even if he pesters her. I heard that I gave him two pairs of hairpins the day before yesterday, and my wife wore them. On the head, take this and see, take that and see."

Yueniang said: "Bean sprouts—there are some bundles!"

Everyone secretly dislikes it.Exactly: the traces are worthy of the eyes of the time, buy more rouge to paint peonies.
