Chapter 69
The word said: "Cigarettes are curling up, and the brocade tent with Luo Wei is beautiful."The scenery is good, the golden hairpin is slanted, and the phoenix is ​​upside down.

Suspected to be in Penglai Island, it is not a small fate to meet each other.The fate is not small, the most joyful place, the eyebrows are lightly swept.

It is said that Dai'an and Wen's sister-in-law arrived home, and Ping An said, "Father is in the house opposite."

Go in and report.Ximen Qing was sitting with Wen Xiucai in the study, when he saw Dai'an, he came out immediately and sat down in the small guest seat.Dai'an said: "Sister-in-law Wen called and waited outside."

Ximen Qing immediately ordered: "Tell him to come in."

Mrs. Wen quietly opened the warm curtain, entered inside, and kowtowed to Ximen Qing.Ximen Qing said, "Sister Wen, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Mrs. Wen said: "Little daughter-in-law has it."

Ximen Qing said, "Where do you live now?"

Mrs. Wen said: "Unfortunately, the little daughter-in-law abandoned the old house because of a lawsuit, and now she lives in Wangjia Lane, Dananshou."

Ximen Qing ordered: "Get up and talk."

Mrs. Wen stood beside her.Ximen Qing ordered both left and right to go out, and Ping'an and Huatong hid outside the corner door to serve, and only Dai'an was listening outside the curtain.Ximen Qingyin asked: "Which big families do you often walk around?"

Sister-in-law Wen said: "It's the royal family on the main street, Lord Zhou's family in the garrison mansion, the royal family Qiao, Zhang Er's father, and Xia's father's family, all of whom are familiar with each other."

Ximen Qing said: "Do you recognize anyone in Wang Zhaoxuan's mansion?"

Sister-in-law Wen said: "It's the little daughter-in-law who is the patron of the door. My wife and Sanniang often take care of my Huacui."

Ximen Qing said: "Since you are familiar with each other, I have something to ask you, don't stop me."

He took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and gave it to him, and whispered to him, "So like this, why did you find a way to hang his wife with you? I will meet him for a while, and I will thank you."

When Mrs. Wen heard this, she laughed and said, "Who told Dad? How did your old man know?"

Ximen Qing said: "As the saying goes: the name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Why don't I know!"

Mrs. Wen said: "If you talk about my wife, she is a pig this year. She is 35 years old. She is a high-class woman. She is very clever. She seems to be 30 years old. Although he is doing this business, he is very careful! Where to go, many companions should follow, come by the way, go by the way. The third father is a man outside, how can he settle in other people's house?──This person's rumors are false. It is a deep house in his house, and the third father is away for a while, Hiding it away, people don't know it, but it's okay. If the little daughter-in-law is there, with narrow doors and narrow households, dare to provoke this matter? Even if the money rewarded by the father, the little daughter-in-law dare not take it. I would rather take my father's words , just tell your wife."

Ximen Qing said: "If you don't accept it, you're just making excuses, and I'm annoyed. If it's done, I'll give you a few more silks and satins for you to wear."

Mrs. Wen said: "What's wrong with worrying about your old man? The Venerable Master will look at it, and it will be Fu Xinglin."

He kowtowed, took the money, and said, "Waiting for the little daughter-in-law to whisper to the wife, come and go to your old man's house."

Ximen Qing said: "You do it right, I'll wait here. When you come, just come here, I won't let the boy go."

Mrs. Wen said: "I know. Not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow, anytime sooner or later, just ask for instructions."

step out.Dai'an said: "Sister-in-law Wen, it's up to you. I only want you a tael of silver, and I'll call you out. You don't have to eat alone."

Sister-in-law Wen said: "The hozen is sweeping the sieve through the wall, but I don't know how to put it upside down and co-operate."

So he went out and rode on the donkey. His son was caged and went straight.Ximen Qing and Wen Xiucai sat down for a while, and after a long time, when Xia Tixing came, they went to Luo Tongzhi in the mansion with him, named Luo Wanxiang, to have a drink.I didn't come home until after lighting the lamps.

Let's say that Sister-in-law Wen took Ximenqing's five taels of silver and was so happy when she got home that she dismissed the tea party and dispersed.In the middle of the afternoon, I went to Wang Zhaoxuan's mansion, met Mrs. Lin, and said my blessings.Lin said: "Why haven't you come to see me these two days?"

Mrs. Wen told Lin about the tea meeting at home and the festival of offering incense on the top to catch up with the twelfth lunar month.Lin said: "Your son goes, you don't go."

Sister-in-law Wen said: "How can I go? I just teach Wen [纟堂] to go to offer incense."

Lin said: "I will send you some money when you are about to arrive."

Mrs. Wen said, "Thank you, Madam, for your generosity."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Lin told him to go to the fire and the servant girl brought tea to eat.While eating tea, Mrs. Wen asked, "The third father is not at home?"

Lin said: "he didn't go home for another two nights. He just rested in it. Every day, he hangs up with this group of Qiao people, sleeps only on flowers and willows, and leaves his daughter-in-law like flowers and branches in the room. He doesn't care. What should we do? ?”

Sister Wen asked again, "Why didn't Sanniang disappear?"

Lin said: "He's still in the room and hasn't come out yet."

Seeing that there was no one, Mrs. Wen said: "It doesn't matter, Madam is relieved. The young daughter-in-law has a connection, so she broke up this group of people, and the third father took care of it and would not go into the hospital again. Madam let the young daughter-in-law, Dare to say it; don’t dare to say it if you don’t allow it.”

Lin said: "I don't follow what you say. You can just say what you have to say."

The wife of Wen said: "The old man Ximen in front of the county gate now sees that he is in charge of thousands of households in the punishment court. His family has released officials' debts and opened four or five shops: satin shop, raw medicine shop, silk shop, and woolen thread shop. , Outside the rivers and lakes, there are standard boats again. Yangzhou is selling salt, and Dongping is selling incense wax. There are about dozens of assistants and supervisors. Tokyo Taishi Cai is his godfather, Zhu Taiwei is his guardian, Zhai Butler is his in-laws, and the governor The inspectors are friends with him, needless to say the magistrates of the prefectures and counties. At home, the fields are connected to the fields, and the rice is rotten into a warehouse. Except for the eldest lady, she is the daughter of Wu Qianhu, the left guard of Qinghe, who fills the house with him as his successor. There are also five or six people who are in the house and wear robes. The following are singing and dancing girls, and they are favored by concubines, no less than a dozen. They serve cold food every morning, and Lantern Festival every night. Today, my father is no more than 31 years old, just the man back then, He has a big figure and a good-looking person. He also took medicine to raise turtles, and he was used to adjusting the style; he knows everything about Shuanglu Chess; Hitting jade and knocking gold, all pity and all kindness. I heard that our family is a family of hairpin tassels from generation to generation, and the foundation is not shallow. I also saw that my third father is studying in martial arts. I also want to come to meet each other, but I have never met before, so it is not easy to come. I heard yesterday Knowing that your wife's birthday is here, and she is full of talents from all over the world, she also wants to come to pay her birthday greetings to her. The little daughter-in-law said: "The first meeting, why did you come to see me suddenly. Wait for the little old lady Dazhi to ask for a hint, and come Please meet me, father.' Today, the old lady not only got to know him, but also begged him to cut off these people, so as not to tarnish our family."

Mrs. Lin was bewildered by Mrs. Wen's words, and her love affair was already open, so she argued with Mrs. Wen: "I don't know you well in life, how can I meet you suddenly?"

Sister-in-law Wen said: "It doesn't matter, wait until I tell my father. I just said that the wife first asked him to go to the Criminal Court to file a complaint against the person who seduced the third father. I will invite my father to come for a private meeting first. What's wrong with it?"

Lin's heart was overjoyed, and she agreed to wait the day after tomorrow.

This Mrs. Wen asked the woman to show her to go home, and came to Ximenqing's house at mealtime the next day.Ximen Qing was sitting in the academy opposite, when suddenly Daan reported: "Sister Wen is here."

After hearing this, Ximenqing stepped out of the small guest seat and ordered the curtains to be lowered on the left and right.After a long time, Mrs. Wen went inside, kowtowed, and came out after Dai An informed the bureau.Mrs. Wen said what she said to Lin: "Praise my father for his character and family, how he got acquainted with the government, how he generously donated money, and was so romantic. He is very willing to talk about it. It is agreed that tomorrow night, the third father will not be at home. Set up a banquet at home and wait. We will meet in secret on the pretext of saying favor."

After hearing this, Ximen Qing was full of joy.He also ordered Dai'an to reward him with two bolts of silk and satin.Mrs. Wen said, "Father is going tomorrow, it's going to be early. When the lights are on and the street is quiet, hit his back door in Bianshi Lane—there's a house next to his back door, and I'll be waiting at his house. Daddy only tells the big officials to slam the door, and I will come out to lure you to Hong Kong, and don't let the people around you know."

Ximen Qing said: "I know. You go tomorrow first, don't leave an inch, and I will come as scheduled."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wen bid farewell and went out, then returned to Lin's conversation.

On the day of Ximen's celebration, he returned to Li Jiaoer's room to rest overnight, without a word.Waiting for the next day, cultivating the spirit.At noon, wearing a white Zhongjing scarf, he and Earl Ying rode to thank everyone for birthday wine.The two sang at the table.After Ximen Qing had a few glasses of wine, he asked to come up with a lamp, and then escaped from the table.Riding on the horse, Dai'an and Qintong followed.At that time, on the [-]th day, the moonlight was hazy, and I walked across the street with my veil on, and came to the back door of Wang Zhaoxuan's mansion in Bianshi Lane.At that time, the lights were only turned on once, after the people on the street became quiet for the first time.Ximen Qing was halfway from his back door, and reined in his horse, ordering Dai'an to go to Duan's mother's house first.It turned out that this mother lived in the back room of Wang Zhaoxuan's house, and was recommended by Mrs. Wen. She guarded the back door morning and night, opening and closing the door.But when he entered Hong Kong, he settled down and made a nest at his house.Mrs. Wen heard the bullet door in his room, and hurriedly opened the door.Seeing Ximen Qing coming, Ximen Qing, who was waiting in the back door, got off his horse, took off his veil, brought it in, and told Qin Tong to lead the horse and wait under the eaves of the west head of the opposite door. shelter.As soon as Mrs. Wen invited Ximenqing to come in, she closed the back door, put on the bolt, and entered from the sidewalk.Turning to the group rooms on the first floor, there are five main rooms where the wife lives, and a convenient door next to it is closed.Mrs. Wen knocked on the door knocker lightly, and it turned out that she had a listening ear.After a while, I saw a maid come out and opened the double doors.Sister-in-law Wen guided Ximen Qing to the back hall, opened the curtains, and saw the bright lights and candles inside, and on the front was a picture of his grandfather Wang Jingchong, King of Yangjun, Taiyuan Jiedu: wearing red sleeves, python clothes and jade belts , sitting in the tiger skin and watching the book of war.There is a portrait of King Guan, but with a shorter beard.The three characters "Jieyitang" are written on the vermilion plaque at the welcoming gate, and a couplet in official script on the two walls reads: "Heirloom etiquette is the same as pine and bamboo, serving the country with meritorious service and fighting mountains."

While Ximen Qing was watching, he heard a bell ringing on the door curtain, and Mrs. Wen took out a cup of tea to share with Ximen Qing.Ximen Qing said: "Please come out to see the old lady."

Mrs. Wen said: "Please, father, have some tea. I told my wife just now that I know."

I don't want Mrs. Lin to look out quietly from the curtain of the door, and see Ximen Qing's dignified figure, a good-looking figure, wearing a white satin Zhongjing crown, ermine warm ears, wearing a purple cashmere crane cloak, and powder-soled soap boots on his feet. ─The rich and many cheat and rape the evil generation, oppressing the good and deceiving the good, the drunk and the lustful.

Lin's heart was full of joy when she saw it, because she quietly called Mrs. Wen over and asked him whose filial piety he wore.Mrs. Wen said: "It's the filial piety of his sixth wife. It's been gone for a while in September. Rao Shaosha, there are still a handful of people in the family. He is an old man, can't you see it? The quail out of the cage── ─ is also a fast fighter."

After hearing this, the mother-in-law became more and more joyful.Mrs. Wen urged him to go out, and the woman said: "How can I go out if I am so shy? Please come in and see me."

Sister Wen came out and said to Ximen Qing, "Madam, please meet me in my room."

So he hurriedly lifted the door curtain, and Ximenqing entered the room, but saw that the curtain was hanging red, the floor was covered with felt [Mao Yu], the scent of musk orchids, and the air was as warm as spring.The embroidered couch is covered with tents and clouds, and the Jinping is reflected by the moon in Xuanyuan.The woman wears a crown of gold silk and emerald green leaves on her head, a white silk and wide silk jacket, a crane cloak with golden makeup and flower satin covered with agarwood color, a big red palace brocade wide skirt, and old stork white silk high-soled shoes.It's just a lustful girl in a beautiful pavilion, and a Bodhisattva in a deep boudoir.There are poems as proof: the clouds are thick and greasy, and the black marks are long, and the lotus steps lightly move the orchid musk.After being drunk, I returned to the embroidered tent affectionately, only to realize that my wife was unusual.

When Ximen Qing saw it, he bowed and saluted, and said, "Madam, please turn up, students see you."

Lin said: "Your Excellency, please excuse me."

Ximen Qing refused, so he bowed his head sideways and bowed twice.The woman also reciprocated the ceremony.After paying their respects, Ximen Qing sat on the chair in front of him, and Mrs. Lin combed her back and leaned on the edge of the kang to accompany her.Mrs. Wen closed the front door again, and there was no servant behind.The third son's corner door was also closed.A little maid named Fu Rong brought tea, Mrs. Lin had tea with Ximen Qing, and Mrs. Wen said beside her: "Madam has heard for a long time that my father is in charge of punishment, and dare to make my little daughter-in-law invite him to troublesome things. Can the unknown father agree to it or not?"

Ximen Qing said: "I don't know what orders the old lady has?"

Lin said: "To be honest, my lord, although the Han family has made this announcement for generations, unfortunately the husband has passed away for a long time, and the family has no savings. The child is young and well-raised, and he has never passed the exam. Although he is studying martial arts now, he is young. He was out of school when he was young. There were a few treacherous people outside who lured him to drink outside every day, and lost all his family affairs. Several times he wanted to go to the public office to file a lawsuit. He was afraid that he would lose his honor by showing his face. Dare I ask you today My lord went to Han’s house to tell his heartfelt song, just like handing in a letter. I beg you to be merciful and cut off the origin of this dry man, so that the child can reform and learn from his mistakes, so that he can inherit his previous career and reinvent himself. I am very grateful for your kindness, and I should thank you very much.”

Ximen Qingdao: "Why did the old lady say that? Zun's family has hairpin tassels for generations, and the generals of the previous dynasty. Since your son has entered martial arts, he is working hard for his fame and inheriting his ancestral martial arts. This is what the young man did. My wife has ordered that the student go to the yamen, and immediately punish this person, so that the future can be prevented."

After hearing this, the woman got up quickly, said all blessings to Ximen Qing, and said, "My concubine Rong Ri expresses her gratitude to your lord."

Ximen Qing said: "You and my family, why do you say that?"

While talking, they looked at each other sympathetically.After a while, Mrs. Wen put wine on the table, and Ximenqing deliberately said: "The student came here for the first time, but he never gave a gift. How can he accept the old lady's kindness and stay here!"

Lin said: "I don't know if my lord has descended, and I haven't made preparations. I have a glass of water and wine for a cold chat, and I'm done with pasta."

The servant girl sifts the wine, the golden pot on the side pours the fine wine, and the jade cup stores the delicious food.Lin stood up to hold the wine, Ximen Qing also stepped down from the table and said, "I'll serve the old lady a glass first."

Sister-in-law Wen interrupted and said, "Father, there is no need to pass the wine to the wife. This November [-]th is the wife's birthday, so just send a gift to celebrate her birthday on that day."

Ximen Qing said: "Ah! You said it earlier. Today is the ninth day of the lunar new year, six days away. I will definitely come and pay my respects to my wife next time."

Lin said with a smile, "How dare you trouble your lord!"

After a while, there are sixteen bowls of delicacies on a big plate and a big bowl. The red candle next to it is high-fired, and the golden stove is added to the fire below.

Wine is lust.Look at the time when the lotus drain has sunk and the moon is reflected on the window, a pair of bamboo leaves pierces the heart, and the two lovers have moved.Mrs. Wen has already passed by, and has not been able to get a drink again and again.Ximen Qing saw that there was no one around, so he gradually sat down on the table, speaking quite wickedly, rubbing his shoulders with his hands while pinching his wrists.At the beginning of the play, the woman hugged the fan's neck, and the woman smiled and said nothing; the second time, she opened her vermilion lips, and Ximenqing stuck her tongue out of her mouth, singing and smacking loudly, and the laughter was intimate.The woman then closed the door of the room, took off her loose clothes, slightly opened the brocade tent, lightly spread the embroidered quilt, put mandarin pillows on the horizontal bed, and the phoenix scented quilt, next to the jade body, hugging the crisp breasts.It turns out that Ximen Qingzhi's woman is very romantic, so she brought a prostitution device with her at home, and took medicine from the Hu monk.The woman saw that his penis was very large, and Ximenqing also touched his buttocks, and they were very happy with each other, and their emotions were like fire.Stretching the ape's arms, you don't feel the madness of butterflies, waves and bees; crossing your jade legs, that shy cloud and timid rain!It's exactly: vertical and horizontal are used to make the wind flow, but the jade hairpin falls on the head of the bed.

Ximen Qing immediately exhausted all his life's abilities and tried his best to keep the woman around for a while.Wrapped to a deeper weather, just let out the essence.The woman's hair is in disorder, and the flowers are withered and the willows are sleepy.The two crossed their heads side by side, hugged for a while, and got up to get dressed.The woman picked out the silver lamp, opened the door, looked in the mirror for plastic surgery, and called the servant girl to wash her hands with water.Drink the fragrant mash again, and then persuade the United States to drink.After three cups, Ximen Qing bid farewell and got up, but the woman kept on asking her to keep her.Ximen Qing bowed to accept the promise, thanked him endlessly, and left the house.The woman sent to the corner gate and went back.Mrs. Wen opened the back door first, and called Dai'an and Qintong to lead the horses and ride home.On the street, the bell was called and the bell was raised, and it became quieter at night, but when there was a frosty day, everything was silent.Ximen Qing went home, speechless all night.

On the next day, Ximen Qing went to the yamen and finished distributing them. In the back hall, he called the local festival-level arrests, and ordered such and such: "The third son in Wang Zhaoxuan's mansion, see who is seducing him, and who is walking in the courtyard. That is to say, find out the name and report it to me."

Because he said to Xia Tixing: "The third son of Wang is not good at learning. Yesterday his mother repeatedly asked me to tell me that it has nothing to do with his son. He was only seduced by this bachelor. If you don't punish him painfully now, you will seduce him in the future." It's bad for other people's children."

Xia Tixing said: "What the officer saw is good, he must be punished."

The arrests at the festival level received Ximen Qingjun's language, and on the same day, they investigated and found out the names of everyone, and made a report. In the afternoon, they came to Ximen Qing's house to submit a post.Ximen Qing saw that there were Sun Wuzui, Zhu Shinian, Xiao Zhangxian, Nie Yue'er, Xiang San, Yu Kuan, and Bai Huizi on it, and Li Guijie and Qin Yuzhi'er were Mrs. Le.Ximenqing took the pen, wiped out the names of Li Guijie, Qin Yuzhi'er, grandson, and Zhu Shinian, and said: "This little Zhang is waiting for five bachelors, and I will take it with me, and bring it to the yamen tomorrow morning." .”

The public promised to go on.At night, after inquiring about Wang Sanguan, all the people were eating, drinking and kicking clothes at Sister Li Gui's house, and they were all in ambush at the door of the room.In the middle of the night, as soon as they came out, all the officials took Xiao Zhangxian, Nie Yue, Yu Kuan, Bai Huizi, and Xiang Sanwu.Sun Wuzui and Zhu Shinian went to Sister Li Gui's back room, and Wang Sanguan hid under Sister Li Gui's bed, not daring to come out.Sister Gui's family was so terrified that they didn't know where the people were from, and asked people to ask for the truth.Wang Sanguan hid all night and dared not come out.The bustard of the Li family was afraid that Tokyo would come down to fetch someone, so at five o'clock, he urged Li Ming to change his clothes and send Wang Sanguan home.

The section-level arrests took Xiao Zhang Xian and others to hang in the hearing room overnight.In the morning of the next day, Ximen Qing entered the yamen and Xia Ti's punishment promotion hall, and the punishment sticks were lined up on both sides, and he led people up.Each person held twenty big sticks, and the skin was ripped apart, the blood gushed out, the noise was loud, and the ground was wailing.Ximenqing instructed: "I've made you a bachelor, and I've focused on luring other people's children to play in the courtyard. If you don't keep your duty, you should be punished. I will punish you lightly. If you commit any crimes in my hands, you will be punished." , Definitely the flail, and show it to the public at the gate of the courtyard!"

Order left and right: "Fork down!"

Everyone looks away, gold lives and water lives, desperate.

After the two officials finished their work, they retreated to the hall to have tea.Xia Ti Xingyin said: "Yesterday, the relative Cui Zhongshu of Beijing Zhongshe came to write a book, saying that the investigation book in the Yamen has been uploaded, but it has not yet come down. Today we have a meeting with the chief, and we will send someone to Lin Cangfeng, a colleague of Huaiqing Mansion, to inquire about the news. Go. His place is close to Beijing."

Ximen Qing said: "What you see is very clear, sir."

That is to say, the messenger came up and told: "I will spend five qian and silver with you, and then I will take two invitations from me, and go to the father of Lin Qianhu, who was punished in Huaiqing mansion, to inquire about the instructions of the investigation in Beijing, and see the experience department. The note has never come. You must inquire about the facts and return."

The man took the silver and the invitation, went to the secretary's house to finish his packing, begged for a horse, and went on a long journey.The two officials got up and went home.

But he said that Xiao Zhang was waiting to be beaten out of the Criminal Court, and everyone was thinking on the road, not to mention that today's loss was due to the drug line there, and they complained to each other.Xiao Zhang said casually, "Could it be news from Tokyo?"

Bai Huizi said: "No. If there is news from there, how can Su Fang be lightly spared?"

As the saying goes: A good man is better than a singer, a thief is better than a silversmith, and a thief is better than a showman.Nie Yue'er said in one mouthful: "You don't know every time, but I can only guess. This must be Ximen's government and the third official's anger, and he invited his cousin, so they took my evil spirit. It's exactly: Dragon Fighting Tiger hurt, little deer suffers."

Xiao Zhang said leisurely: "It's all right, everyone, but I'm going to be the next one. Sun Zhizui and Zhu Mazi followed, and only put me in every tank."

Yu Kuan said: "Why are you talking nonsense? The two of them are his friends. If you kneel on the ground and he sits on it, how can you get along?"

Xiao Zhang said leisurely: "Why don't you take your wife?"

Nie Yue said: "The two wives are his sweethearts. Sister Li Jiagui is his cousin, he is willing to take it! Don't be weird, it's my bad luck every time, and I fell into this net. How did Father Caixia get born?" No words, just him talking? This is a sign of love. Now go to Sister Li Gui's house to find Wang Sanguan! Is it possible to get this butt sore for him for nothing? Let's just ask him how much money he wants. Don't eat jokes from my wife at home."

So I went into Goulan and saw that the iron barrel at the gate of Li Guijie's house was similar.After calling for a long time, the girl asked who it was through the door, and Xiao Zhang said idlely, "It's me, I'm looking for the third official to talk."

The girl replied: "He has been home since midnight that day and is not here. No one is at home, so he dare not open the door."

All these people had to come back, go to Wang Zhaoxuan's mansion, and sit down in his guest seat.When Wang Sanguan heard that everyone was looking for him, he was so frightened that he hid in the room and dared not come out.Half a day later, Yong Ding'er, a servant, was called out to say, "My father is not at home."

Everyone said: "It's so comfortable! I'm not at home, where did I go? It's not the future!"

Yu Kuan said: "Let's tell you the truth. Hugh is sleeping in a dream. Just now I was brought up to the execution court to beat me, and the general came out. Now he has to go to see the official!"

Put your arms around your legs and have a look with Yongding, teach him to go inside and say: "It's so important to beat me every time for you!"

They all lay on the stools and cried out in pain.

That Wang Sanguan was even more afraid to come out, and only called: "Mother, what's the matter? You can save me in any way."

Lin said: "I am a woman, how can I find someone to save me?"

After begging for a long time, I saw that everyone outside was waiting impatiently, and wanted to ask the old lady to speak.Then Mrs. Lin didn't go out again, but said through the screen: "Every time you wait for him, you are entrusted to the village and not at home. I will send a servant here to ask him to go."

Xiao Zhang said leisurely: "Old lady, make him come here quickly! This boil will eventually ooze pus, and it's nothing to worry about. I beat him up because of him. Just now my father ordered me to take him out. If he doesn't come out, everyone will not be clean, and it will be bad."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin quickly asked the servant to bring out tea to eat with everyone.Wang Sanguan is also like a ghost, forcing his mother to seek favors.It wasn't until the most urgent point that Mrs. Lin said: "Sister-in-law Wen only recognizes Ti Xing Ximen's official family. She used to talk to his daughter as a matchmaker in the past, and she got acquainted with him in his house."

Wang Sanguan said: "It's okay to punish Ximen if you admit it. Quickly send the boy to invite him."

Lin said: "Since you talked about him before, Xing'er has not come to walk around. How can you invite him again? He also refuses to come."

Wang Sanguan said: "My dear mother, the matter is urgent now, please invite him, and wait for me to accompany him for a gift."

Lin asked Yongding'er to go out quietly through the back door and invited Mrs. Wen to come.Wang Sanguan called him again and again, and only said one by one: "Mother Wen, you admit to punishing Ximen Daguan, at least say it's a favor to save me."

This Mrs. Wen deliberately made a lot of Qiao Zhangzhi, and said: "Although in the old days, I used to be a matchmaker with the big girl in his house, who has walked in his door these few years! The big man's house is deep, so don't pester him."

Wang Sanguan quickly knelt down and said, "Mom Wen, you will repay me for saving me, and I dare not forget about it. Those people who are in the front only need to be released from office, how can I get there?"

Mrs. Wen only looked at his mother, who said, "Forget it, you can just talk for him."

Mrs. Wen said: "I can't go alone. Uncle, you are wearing a scarf. When I take you to Ximen's father's house in person, you can see him and beg him. You can talk about it when I am beside you. Just take care of it for a day." .”

Wang Sanguan said: "Seeing that everyone is urging him in front of him today, what's the matter if he sees him for a while?"

Mrs. Wen said: "What's the problem? After I go out to appease him, I will arrange some wine, meat, snacks and tea to coax him to eat. I will quietly lead you out through the back door, and he won't know when you come back."

As she walked out of the front hall, Mrs. Wen bowed to everyone twice, and said, "My wife taught me to come out, and I will tell you guys more: I am waiting for my third uncle to go to the village, and he is not at home. If someone invites him, then Come on. You sit around for a while. Being beaten and scolded has hurt you all. Whoever doesn’t eat salt and rice, wait for the third uncle to come and teach him to know you. You are not bad, and you will always belong to everyone. As long as the plan is done. The boss sent me, I can't help myself. With the third uncle coming out, all the big things will be settled in one day."

After hearing this, all the people said together: "Mother Wen sees a lot. Your old man came out early and said something about the North and the South. I'm not in a hurry to ask for it. The only way to kill is not at home. Why don't I go home every day?" What did you do? You make me tired every time I eat the official stick, the boss wants you, and I pretend to be not at home. I eat wine and meat, can I teach others to replace you? Mom, you understand the truth. When you come out, I will pay you back There is a way for you - break some things, find someone to talk about, everyone will settle the matter. If you don't come out to see me, this matter will also be settled. If you arrest and interrogate the criminal yamen, it's fine if you don't answer ?”

Sister-in-law Wen said: "What Brother said is true. Every time you sit down for a while, I told my wife to arrange some wine and dinner for you. Every time you come here for half a day, you will be hungry."

Everyone said: "It's still my mother Wen who knows people are bitter and spicy. I don't want to hide it from Mother Wen. Every time I type it out of the yamen, Huang Tang'er has never tasted it!"

This Mrs. Wen went to the back, swayed vigorously, bought wine for two renminbi, bought snacks for one renminbi, cut several large plates of pork, mutton and beef, took them out, and coaxed all of them to eat wine and meat in front of her. .

This Wang Sanguan Confucian scarf and Tsing Yi, wrote a post, Wen's sister-in-law took the lead, put on veil, quietly came out from the back door, and walked to Ximenqing's house on foot.Arriving at the gate, Ping An'er recognized Mrs. Wen, and said, "Father was in the hall and went in. What does Mama Wen have to say?"

Mrs. Wen handed him a card and said, "Brother, I'm tired of reporting it for him."

He hurriedly asked Wang Sanguan for two coins and handed it over to him, and Ping'an went in to inform Ximen Qing for him.Ximenqing saw the handwritten greeting card, which read: "Wang Caidun, who was born late in the family, made the first hundred worships."

On the one hand, he first called into Mrs. Wen and asked for an answer. Then he opened the door of the hall and asked the servant to invite Wang Sanguan in.Ximenqing wore a Zhongjing scarf and came out to greet him in plain clothes. When he saw Wang Sanyi came in, he deliberately said, "Why didn't Mrs. Wen tell you earlier? Here are my obscene clothes."

He ordered the left and right: "Get my clothes."

The flustered Wang Sanguan stepped forward and stopped him, saying: "Your uncle respects you, my nephew dares to come to pay homage, how dare you work hard!"

In the hall, Wang Sanguan asked Ximen Qing to turn up and salute.Ximen Qing smiled and said, "This is giving up."

Again and again.Ximen Qingju bowed down first, and Wang Sanguan said: "My nephew is guilty, I have admired him for a long time, and I owe you my obeisance."

Ximen Qing said: "Be less polite to each other."

Because Wang Sanguan invited Ximen Qing to accept the gift, he said: "My nephew, the old man should accept the gift, so as to forgive the crime of being late."

I got up and received two salutes.Ximenqing gave up his seat, Wang Sanguan gave up again, and then moved his seat to sit obliquely.

After a while, after tea, Wang Sanguan said to Ximen Qing: "My nephew has something to do, so I dare not insult my dignity."

Because he took out the post from his sleeve and handed it over, he left his seat and knelt down.Ximenqing grabbed him with one hand and said, "What does Xianqi have to say, but what harm is said!"

Wang Sanguan said: "My nephew is not talented. I sincerely offend him. I beg the old man to read my father Wubian's first palace minister, forgive my nephew for his ignorance, and fulfill my shame. If I am not ordered to be an official, my nephew will die. Day, it is really a blessing to be born again. Linking up the charts, fear, fear!"

Ximen Qing unfolded the post, on which were the names of Xiao Zhangxian and other five people, and said: "This bachelor, I have already dealt with heavy responsibilities in my yamen today. I have forgiven him, why do I ask you to go?"

Wang Sanguan said: "He said that the old man punished him in the yamen, escorted him out, and asked his nephew to see the officials. At home, he insulted and yelled in every possible way, extorted and swindled the money. He couldn't live in peace, and he had nowhere to sue. He came here to plead guilty."

Hand over the gift card again.When Ximen Qing saw it, he said, "That's unreasonable! This incident of being a bachelor is abominable. I'll let him go, so why bother him there!"

Returning the gift card to Wang Sanguan, he said: "Please come back, Xianqi, and I will not leave you to sit. Now I will send someone to take this bachelor. I will invite you later."

Wang Sanguan said: "How dare you! My nephew will thank you for not giving up on old man Meng."

Thank you so much for going out.Ximen Qing sent it to the head of the second door and said, "My underwear is not easy to send."

The third official Wang came out, wearing veil, and the servant followed him.Mrs. Wen also talked to Ximen Qing.Ximen Qing ordered: "Don't disturb him, I'll send someone to take it."

Mrs. Wen and Wang Sanguan came home secretly.Unexpectedly, Ximen Qing immediately dispatched a festival rank and four platoon troops to Wang Zhaoxuan's house.That person was drinking and making noise there, when the gentleman went in, he couldn't help but take everything and put on the bracelet.The faces of the people were ashamed, and they said: "Wang Sanguan did a good job. He kept me at home, but turned the hoe back and I came here."

The section platoon soldier scolded: "You are still talking nonsense, what are you doing? Everyone go to the father and beg, it is serious to ask for your life."

Xiao Zhang said leisurely: "What the uncle taught is true."

After a while, they all took the gate of Ximen Qing's house, and the soldiers lined up on the gate and Ping An'er all opened their hands to ask for money, so they filed for him.All the people couldn't help taking off their pleats, and took off the hairpins on their heads, and they stopped talking before they said it.Half a day later, Ximen Qing came out to sit in the hall, and Jie level brought him in and knelt under the hall.Ximen Qing scolded: "If I treat you as a bachelor, I will end you. How do you accuse my yamen of blackmailing his house? How much money did you cheat? If you don't tell me, the left and right will really fight with me." stand up!"

At the moment, he only said a word, and the left and right platoons immediately brought five or six new sticks to serve.Xiao Zhangxian and others just kowtowed and begged, "My little one didn't extort money or property. He just said that it came out of the yamen and told him. His family took out some wine and food to take care of the little ones, and little one didn't do anything. Need him."

Ximen Qing said: "You shouldn't go to his house either. You bachelors set up to deceive the children of a good family and ask for money for nothing. It is deeply hateful! You refused to confess, and you are all taken to the yamen with me and put in prison. You will be severely interrogated tomorrow. Confession, show the shackles to the public!"

Everyone begged and cried: "God of heaven, every time the little one is born, the little one will not dare to go to his door to stalk him anymore. Don't say the shackles, and send this one to prison. During the cold winter months, every little one will be harassed." It's death."

Ximen Qing said: "I will spare you as a bachelor. You have to repent and change your mind, and you must be mental. You are not allowed to live in the courtyard, seduce other people's children, and defraud property. If you bring it to my yamen, you will die." Killed."

Order: "Fork out!"

Everyone lost their lives and ran outside.It's exactly: break the jade cage to fly the colorful phoenix, open the golden lock and walk away the dragon.

Ximen Qing sent everyone there, and when they returned to the back room, Yueniang asked, "Is this the third official?"

Ximen Qingdao: "This is the third son of Wang Zhaoxuan's mansion. He was the one who happened to Li Gui'er the day before yesterday. Today, the little prostitute does not change, but is entangled with him again. I teach him to pay 30 taels of silver per month. Anger always only coaxes Look at me! I don’t want to be told by someone in the bottom of my house that the servant who taught me took this guy and beat him in the yamen. I don’t want this guy to go to his house to complain again, hoping to cheat him A few taels of silver, and only said that he was wanted in the Yamen. He had never seen an official, so he panicked. Mrs. Yangwen brought 50 taels of gift cards to beg me for favors. I just brought that person again and tied his hair After a while, stop it for him. It's unlucky for him to give birth to such an unworthy son.──Your grandfather has such a foundation, and he advertised again, and you saw that you entered martial arts again. The daughter-in-law doesn't go to the theory, and just follows this group of bachelors in the yard day and night. This year, I'm under 20 years old, so young, I can't do anything!"

Yue Niang said: "You old crow joked about the pig's feet. It turns out that the lampstand doesn't shine on itself. You made it yourself? You also drink the water from this well and do everything. What did you clean? You still have to ban people!"

After a few words, Ximen Qing was speechless.

Just as the meal was being served, Lai'an came to report: "Ying's second father is here."

Ximen Qing ordered: "Please sit in the study, and I will come."

Wang Jing hurriedly opened the door of the upper study room, and the earl went in and sat down.After a long time, Ximen Qing came out.After the sound is over, they sit on the kang and talk to each other.The count said: "Brother, you were at Brother Xie's house the day before yesterday, why did you get up so early?"

Ximen Qing said: "I have been doing business for a few days, and I am visiting you. I sent someone to Tokyo to inquire about the news. Am I more idle than you?"

The count asked again: "Brother, is there anything going on in the yamen these days?"

Ximen Qing said: "It's a matter, not that day!"

The earl said again: "Wang Sanguan said that every five of the young Zhang Xian in the elder brother's yamen went to Sister Li Gui's room on the evening of the eighth day, and only Lao Sun and Zhu Mazi left. This morning, they were sent to the yamen, and they were all typed out, and everyone went to the Zhaoxuan Mansion to pester the king and the three officials. Why are you keeping it from me?"

Ximen Qing said: "Silly dog, who told you? How dare you hear it wrong. Could it be from my yamen or from Zhou Shoubei's mansion?"

The count said: "The garrison mansion is nosy!"

Ximen Qing said: "I'm afraid it's someone from Jingzhong?"

The count said: "Not really. This morning Li Ming told me that the soul of his family was lost that day. Li Guier has fallen asleep so far and has not gotten up from Kang'er. I am afraid that Tokyo will come down again to arrest people." After inquiring this morning, I found out that he was brought up to the Criminal Court to arrest him."

Ximen Qing said: "I haven't entered the yamen for several days, so I didn't know. Li Gui'er has made a bet not to pick him up and let him do whatever he wants, but why is he afraid of falling asleep?"

Seeing that Ximen Qing was smiling, the count said, "Brother, you are a human being, and you even kept it a secret from me. Today he told me that I knew brother's love. Why did you wish Mazi and grandson to leave? One arrests the yamen, and one escapes? This is the elder brother fighting the sheep foal [Ma Lou], which made Li Guier's family afraid and knew his method. If they were all taken to the yamen, they would lose all affection for each other, and it would be boring. .Things may be one but not two. Now even the old grandson, Zhu Mazi feels a little ashamed when he sees his brother. This is the plan of the elder brother to build the plank road and hide the old warehouse. Don't blame me and say that the elder brother has done a great job. This one is called the real person. Showing off, showing off is not a real person. If you show off your face, you will not be a good person. Brother is more resourceful and sees a lot."

After a few words, Ximen Qing burst out laughing, and said, "What great resource do I have?"

The earl said: "I guess there must be someone in the bottom of the foot who told me, how do you know all this? There is a chance of ghosts and gods!"

Ximen Qing said: "Silly dog, if people don't know, unless they do nothing."

The count said: "There is no need for Wang Sanguan in the yamen now."

Ximen Qing said: "Who wants him to do? Back then, I wiped out the names of Wang Sanguan, Zhu Mazi, Lao Sun, Li Gui'er, and Qin Yuzhi, and only took a few bachelors to fight."

The count said, "Why is he still pestering him now?"

Ximen Qing said: "Let me tell you the truth, he expects to blackmail him for a few taels of silver. I don't want Wang Sanguan to come to see me just now, kowtow to me, and accompany me. I sent someone to take those bachelors away." I want a shackle, and everyone begged again and again that they dare not come to pester him anymore. Wang Sanguan claimed that I was an old man, and I won’t accept him after taking 50 taels of gift cards. He will still invite me to my house tomorrow. Zhongzhi thanked me for going."

The count was startled and said, "Isn't he here to accompany my brother?"

Ximen Qing said, "Why don't I coax you?"

Because of calling Wang Jing: "Take the three officials of the king to worship Tie'er and look at the second father Ying."

That Wang Jing took out a greeting card from the house, which read: "Wang Caidun, who was born late in the family, made the first hundred worships."

When the count saw it, he praised him very much: "Brother's calculation is amazing."

Ximen Qing told the count: "If you see him, just say I don't know."

The earl said: "I know. I can't let go of the opportunity, how can I tell him!"

After sitting down for a while and having tea, the Earl said, "Brother, I'll go, I'm afraid that Lao Sun and Zhu Mazi will be in trouble for a while. Just say that I didn't come here."

Ximen Qing said. "He came, and I didn't see him."

On the one hand, he called the general to come, and gave orders: "But the two of them only promise not to be at home."

From then on, Ximenqing never visited Li Guijie's house with her, nor asked Li Ming to sing songs when they served wine at home, so they became indifferent.Exactly: Last night, it rained on Huanhuaxi River, who is the green Yang Fangcao?
