Jinpingmei

Chapter 81

The poem said: "Swallows enter the non-native house, and gulls return to the old pond."There is no double board on the broken bridge, and the lying willow grows its own branches.

Then there is Shanyang's work, and I am ashamed of Bao Shuzhi.The plain friends are all gone, and the white head is full of tears.

It is said that Han Daoguo and Laibao have been buying goods in Jiangnan with 4000 taels of silver from Ximenqing, and they have gone to Yangzhou to arrest Miao Qing's house and sleep there.Seeing Ximenqing's handwriting, Miao Qing thought of the grace of his life and tried her best to accept it.Another woman, named Chu Yun, was raised at home and wanted to send it to Ximen Qing to repay her kindness.Han Daoguo and Laibao don't buy goods. They spend their days looking for flowers and willows, drinking and staying with their wives.Only in the early winter weather, the scenery is bleak, and it is too much to think about.Just now, I bought cloth from various places with silver, and put it in Miao Qing's house in Yangzhou, and got up when the goods were bought.First, Han Daoguo invited a cousin, Wang Yuzhi'er from the old courtyard in Yangzhou. When he came to Bao, he invited Lin Caihong's sister Xiaohong.One day, Wang Haifeng and Miao Qing, salt merchants from Yangzhou, were invited to visit Baoying Lake. After swimming for a day, they returned to the courtyard.It's also the birthday of Yuzhi'er bustard, and the Daoguo of Korea invites everyone to have a birthday party with bustard Wang's mother.Hu Xiu, the younger generation, invited merchants Wang Dongqiao and Qian Qingchuan, but they didn't see each other in vain.Not long after, Wang Dongqiao and Qian Qingchuan came with Wang Haifeng.At sunset, Hu Xiucai came, and was scolded by Han Daoguo with the wine, saying: "I don't know where to drink, and we come here after eating. The smell of alcohol comes out of the mouth. The guests came first for half a day." , you don’t know where to come, I will settle accounts with you tomorrow.”

That Hu Xiu squinted at him, walked down, muttered in his mouth, and said: "You scold me, your wife is making money at home, and you are throwing away here! The old man in the house!" Keeping your wife around, it’s not worth the fuck, so I’ll let you get the capital to do business. You’re happy here, but your wife suffers for some reason! If you don’t understand, you’ll be hooked.”

Just talk to the bustard Yuzhier.Then the bustard pulled him out of the yard and said, "Guard Hu, you are drunk, go to sleep in your room."

Hu Xiu yelled loudly, but Bai refused to enter the room.Unexpectedly, Han Daoguo was having wine with all the merchants at the banquet. Hearing Hu Xiu's fart and shame, he was furious. For a day, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anyone!"

Immediately chase him away.When Hu Xiu was willing to go out, he yelled in the yard and said, "How are you going to drive me away? I'm not broken in account management! You're raising a wife instead, but you're driving me out. Let's see if I say anything when I get home!"

Laibao persuaded Han Daoguo, pulled him aside with one hand, and said: "You dog bone, it turns out that the wine is hard!"

Na Hu Xiu said: "Uncle, you old man don't care about him. I will have some wine with him."

He was pushed to go to the house to sleep.Exactly: People who are not intoxicated by wine are intoxicated by themselves, and those who are not attractive in sex are intoxicated by themselves.

Lai Bao sent Hu Xiu to sleep in his room.Han Daoguo is afraid that all the merchants will laugh at him, and he will drink and drink with Laibao at the feast, and laugh at him.Sisters Lin Caihong, Xiaohong and Wang Yuzhier three sang, played, sang and danced, gathered flowers, guessed the flowers, and ate until the middle of the night before leaving.The next day, Han Daoguo wanted to beat Hu Xiu, but Hu Xiu said, "The little one doesn't know a single word."

Dao Guo was persuaded by Miao Qing's good deeds.

Stop babbling.One day when the goods are finished, they are packed and loaded onto the ship.Unexpectedly, Miao Qing begged Chu Yun, the woman who sent Ximen Qing to him, and suddenly became ill and couldn't move.Miao Qing said: "I'll send someone to bring him when he recovers."

I only ordered some personnel gifts, copied the books, sent the two of them away and Hu Xiu got up.Wang Yuzhi and Lin Caihong's sisters inevitably set up wine and horse heads as a farewell party.From the tenth day of the first lunar month, I have no words all the way.One day when we arrived at the Linqing gate, Han Daoguo was standing on the bow of the boat. Suddenly, he saw his neighbor Yan Silang, who came by boat from the upper reaches, and went to Linqing to pick up officials.Seeing Han Daoguo, he raised his hand and said, "Han Xiqiao, your father has been gone since the first lunar month."

After finishing speaking, the boat passed quickly.After hearing this, Han Daoguo took it easy and kept it secret.I don’t want to think that there was a severe drought in Henan and Shandong at that time, thousands of miles of barren land, and the silkworms were barren and unharvested. The price of cotton cloth was suddenly expensive, and three interest was added to each piece of cloth. Buy with passenger goods.Han Daoguo then negotiated with Laibao: "There are more than [-] liang of cloth on board. Seeing that today, adding three interest rates, it is better to sell half of it, and the money is cheaper and taxed. It is nothing more than selling it at home. If you don't sell it in the market, I sincerely do it for you." pity."

Lai Baodao: "Although what the man said is true, I'm afraid I'll sell it. If I get home at once, I will provoke the head of the house. What can I do?"

Han Daoguo said: "Dad is surprised, it's all on me."

He couldn't beat him to be stronger, so he sold 1000 taels of cloth right on the horse's head.Han Daoguo said: "Shuangqiao, you and Hu Xiu are waiting on the boat to pay taxes. I will go on a dry road with Xiaolang Wanghan to pay the 1000 taels of silver. I will report it to my father first."

Laibao said: "When you get home, at least ask for a book from my father, and I will give you money to pay my father. If you don't pay taxes, let the ship go first."

South Korea promised.Together with Xiaolang and Wang Han, they came to Qinghe County's home in pack piles.

One day when entering the city, in the south gate of the barn, the sun was getting dark, and suddenly bumped into Zhang An, who was in the grave, pushing a cart with wine, rice and salt, and was going out of the south gate.Seeing Han Daoguo, he called: "Uncle Han, you are here."

Han Daoguo saw that he was wearing filial piety and asked why. Zhang An said: "My father is dead. Tomorrow will be the ninth day of the third month. My aunt asked me to take this wine, rice and food box to the grave, and tomorrow I will burn paper with my father."

Han Daoguo heard this and said, "It's hurtful, it's hurtful! Sure enough, the people on the road are like stellar words, and the words are true."

Head into the city.When I arrived at the cross street, I calculated in my mind: "Stay here. I want to go to Ximenqing's house. Besides, he is dead now, and it is getting late. Why don't we go home and stay overnight and discuss with my wife. It will not be too late to go tomorrow." .”

So he chatted with Wang Han and went straight to his home in Lion Street.They got off their heads, sent the drivers back, and called to open the door. Wang Han carried the luggage into the hall and went straight to his home in Lion Street.They got off their heads and mouths, sent the footmen back, and called to open the door, and Wang Han carried the luggage into the hall.The wife welcomed the entrance and worshiped the Buddha.Wang Liu'er undressed and sat down for him, and the girl ordered tea.Han Daoguo first told about the journey back, "I ran into fourth brother Yan and Zhang An on the road, and then I found out that my father is dead. Okay, why did he die?"

Wang Liu'er said: "There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have temporary misfortunes and blessings. Who can protect impermanence!"

On the one hand, Han Daoguo opened the stack, took out many clothes, soft clothes and other things he had bought in the south of the Yangtze River, and put the 1000 taels of silver on the kang one by one.The wife opened it and saw that it was all white, snowflakes and silver, so she asked, "Where is this?"

Han Daoguo said: "I heard the letter on the way, so I sold the 1000 taels of silver first."

He also took out two packs of Tiji silver, 100 taels, because he asked his wife, "After I left, did he take care of you at home?"

Wang Liu'er said: "It's fine when he was around, but now you still send the money to his family?"

Han Daoguo said: "I just want to discuss with you, let's keep some, how about giving half to him?"

The wife said: "Hey, you stupid slave, you'd be so stupid if you were to suffer again. Now that he's dead and there's no one here, what do we have to do with him? Don't worry, you'll give him half of it, and let him recruit secretly." My son, let me ask you where you are. Why don’t you be cruel and cruel, we hired him for 1000 taels, kidnapped him to Tokyo, and went to my son. I’m worried that we won’t be able to put you and me in the grand master’s house!”

Han Daoguo said: "Leave this house behind and can't get rid of it in a hurry, what's the matter?"

The wife said: "Look! Why don't you ask the second one to come, leave a few taels of silver with him, and let him guard it. When Ximenqing's family comes to find you, Bao said that our child in Tokyo has called two people to go. .Could it be that he has the guts to look for us in the Grand Master's residence? Just look for us, you and I are not afraid of him."

Han Daoguo said: "Zhennai, I have been favored by high-ranking officials, how can I change my mind? It's unreasonable!"

The wife said: "Since ancient times, there has been no food. He occupied my old lady and made him a few taels of silver, which is not bad. Thinking of his filial piety hall, I kindly prepared a table for three animals and went to his house. Burning paper. His eldest wife, that unvirtuous whore, doesn’t come out for half a day, and scolds me in the room. I’m so embarrassing. I can’t come out, I can’t sit down, and the third wife behind him comes out to sit with me , I didn’t go to sit, I came home in a sedan chair, thinking about his love, I should also give him a few taels of silver.”

The words made Han Daoguo speechless.Husband and wife, evening plan has been decided.At five o'clock the next day, he called his brother Han Er to come, and so on, told him to guard the house, and tied him up with 20 taels of silver.Those two troublemakers were very willing and willing, saying: "My brother and sister-in-law just go and wait for me to send him away."

This Han Daoguo took Wang Hanxiaolang and two maids to Tokyo with him.Twenty cars were hired, and all the soft things in the boxes and cages were loaded on the cars.Tou Tianming went out of the west gate and went to Tokyo.It's exactly: smash the jade cage and fly the colorful phoenix, open the golden lock and walk away the dragon.

It is not a problem here that the Korean couple went to Tokyo.The next day, Shanbiao Wu Yueniang took her filial brother, together with Meng Yulou, Pan Jinlian, Ximen's eldest sister, grandma Ruyi'er, and son-in-law Chen Jingji, to the grave to burn paper with Ximenqing.Zhang An then told Yueniang that he bumped into Uncle Han coming to our house yesterday, Yueniang said: "He's here, why didn't he come to my house? I'm afraid he will come today."

I just burned the paper on the grave, and after sitting for a while, I got up early and came home.Send Chen Jingji to his house, "Tell Han to go and ask him where the boat has arrived?"

At the beginning, he shouted that he didn't hear people's words, but the second time Han Er came out and said, "My niece's daughter Tokyo called my elder brother and sister-in-law. I don't know where the boat is."

Let Chen Jingji return to Yueniang.Yueniang was worried, so Jingji rode down the river to look for a boat.After going there for a day, I went to the Matou boat in Linqing, looking for someone to protect the boat.Lai Bao asked: "Buddy Han paid 1000 taels of silver first and went home."

Jingji said: "Who saw him come? Zhang An saw him enter the city, and the next day he came home from the grave. My aunt asked me to ask him. The couple took away the house and even the money and went to Tokyo. Now that my father is dead, After seven days, the aunt is worried and sent me to look for the boat."

Now Baobao kept his mouth shut, and secretly said in his heart: "God damn it, so even I lied to it. I must sell this 1000 taels of silver on the road of anger. I have to worry about cleaning it. It's just that the face is so close, and the heart is thousands of miles away."

Seeing that Ximen Qing is dead, Bao feels at ease to be with him.Lure the young man Jingji to drink in various singing shops and song towers on the horse's head, and invite his cousin to play.Secretly moved 800 taels of goods on the boat, unloaded them in the store's room, and sealed them.One day, the banknotes were closed and the tax was paid, and the boat was sent over, loaded at Xinhekou, and headed to Qinghe County, where the middle east wing of the house was unloaded.

Since Ximen Qing's death, the silk shop on Lion Street has been closed.At the Duanpu shop opposite the door, buddies Gan and Cui Ben sold the silver and delivered it clearly, and each left and went back to the room.The house was also sold, but there were only Jiedang and herbal medicine shops, and the graves of Jing Ji and Fu Huo were open.It turns out that here to protect his wife, Huixiang, who has a five-year-old son, the famous monk Baoer.Han Daoguo's wife, Wang Liu'er, has a four-year-old niece, and the two became in-laws.Yueniang at home doesn't know.After the delivery of the goods, he immediately blamed Han Daoguo, saying that he first sold 2000 taels of silver to come home.That Yueniang repeatedly sent him to Tokyo to ask Han Daoguo about the whereabouts of the money.He said after a while: "Let's go to bed early! Who dares to come to the mansion of a grand master? No one will cause trouble. If he doesn't come to look for you, let's recite Buddha at home. No one will cause lice to scratch their heads!" "

Yueniang said: "Zhai's family also owes our family to take care of his relatives, so we can't help it."

Laibao said: "When his daughter sees her at his house, he dares to protect his mother and father, why not protect us? I have to tell me this at home. Outsiders know that it is not good to spread it. Just throw it away." Just a few taels of silver, let’s stop talking about it.”

Yue Niang couldn't hear it, so she had to.He was also handed over to buy heads and sell cloth goods.When he met the master, Yueniang asked Chen Jingji to exchange the silver to negotiate the price, but the master refused to accept it and took the silver out.Laibao insisted: "Brother-in-law, you don't know the ups and downs of business. I have traveled a lot in the rivers and lakes, and I know the market. I would rather sell it and regret it than sell it. This product will be sold at this price when it comes to the house. You are very impressed. It’s full, it’s protruding, and it’s obvious that you don’t know how to do business. I’m not talking big, you are young and don’t know what to do. Should I throw my arms out? It’s better to sell it, it’s a matter.”

After Jingji heard this, he let Xinger ignore it.He didn't wait for Yueniang to pay, he grabbed the abacus and invited the master back.The silver was exchanged for more than two thousand taels, and delivered to Jingji's manager one by one, handed over to Yueniang for collection, and pushed the goods out.Yueniang gave him 30 taels of silver to entangle in the house, so he deliberately refused to accept it, saying: "Your old man still took it. After your father died, your old man is dead, and you are entangled by your own family. What are you doing to us? You take it, I never want it."

One night at night, a drunk who was eating out went into Yueniang's room, lay down on the kang, and said to Miss Yueniang: "Your old man is young and young, and you have no father. You keep these children by yourself. Wouldn't it harm the orphan?"

Yueniang was speechless.

One day, housekeeper Zhai from Tokyo sent a letter, knowing that Ximenqing was dead, and heard Han Daoguo say that there were four outstanding women in his family who played and sang, how much should they pay, and they said it, exchanged the money, and promised the old lady that they would be transported to Beijing.When Yueniang read the book, she panicked and called Future Bao to discuss whether to go with him or not.Lai Bao entered the room and didn't call her mother. He just said, "Your wife is ignorant. If you don't go with him, you will cause trouble. This is all caused by the dead old man. People, just ask Jiale to go out, if there is someone who won't spread it? What's more, the daughter of Mr. Han promised the old lady in the mansion, who will not tell? I said the day before yesterday, and today there is such a trick. Don't you talk to him , He dispatched prefectures and counties, and sent people to ask for them by name. I’m not afraid that if you don’t give him your hands, it’s still too late. It’s hard to say that all four are with him, why don’t you just send two of them to him today, and you’re just a face.”

This Yueniang pondered for a while.The orchid fragrance in Mengyu's building and the spring plum in Jinlian's room are not easy to get rid of.Xiuchun wants to see her brother again, so she doesn't go out.Because he asked about Yuxiao and Yingchun in his room, he was willing to go.So I sent to Bao, hired a vehicle to load two women, and came to the Taishi's mansion in Tokyo.Unexpectedly, when he came to protect this guy, he raped the two girls on the way.One day when I went to Tokyo, I met with Han Daoguo and his wife and talked about everything.Han Daoguo Xie Laibao said: "If it wasn't for my relatives to take care of me and stop me at home, although I am not afraid of him, I would have talked a lot."

Zhai Qian saw that Yingchun and Yuxiao were both in good shape. One could play zheng and the other could play strings. They were neither seventeen or eighteen years old.This time, Bao returned an ingot, but when he got home, he only took out an ingot to share with Yueniang, and threatened Yueniang with words: "If I hadn't gone, he wouldn't have brought this ingot home. You don't know, Han The dude and his wife lived alone in the mansion because of their wealth and wealth. They lived alone in a house, called slaves and maidservants, and sat in the five elements. Butler Zhai called them his father, and his daughter Han Aijie went up to promise the old lady every day that she would not leave her every step. One offer ten, pick food and clothes, change clothes. Now I can write, I can count, and I am blessed to my soul. I have grown up and have a beautiful appearance. I came to see me the day before yesterday. I was dressed like a jade tree in Qionglin. He is very clever, and he calls me Uncle Bao. Now our two families are still sewing in his hands wherever the two of us are happy.”

After finishing speaking, Yueniang still couldn't stop feeling him.Send him wine and food to eat, but don't accept his money, so I took a bunch of jokes to make clothes with his wife Huixiang, it's no problem.

Here, Baoyi and his wife and brother Liu Cang went to Linqing on the horse's head, sent the seal to the shop for distribution, and sold it for 800 taels of silver, and secretly sold the next house, which was at the right door of Liu Cang Open a grocery store.He would follow Yisi and have tea every day.His wife, Huixiang, told Yueniang to go to her mother's house under false pretense.When I went to the house, I changed my head and face clothes, bead hoops, gold and silver, and went to Wang Liu'er's natal family, Wang Mozhu's house, to get in-laws, and to see his daughter in a sedan chair.After arriving at the house, he still changed into bleak clothes, and then went to Ximenqing's house, only hiding it from Yueniang.The guy who comes to protect him is often drunk. He comes to Yueniang's room to mock and tease him two or three times.It's not that Yueniang is an upright person, but also because of her evil heart that he said, she got on the way.There are also ordinary young servants and daughter-in-laws who, in front of Yueniang's roots, say that his daughter-in-law is out as a relative with the queen sow, inserting gold and wearing silver, doing three and five.Pan Jinlian also told Yueniang several times, but Yueniang didn't believe it.

After Huixiang heard this, he scolded Xiao in the kitchen.Laibao pretended to be fat and stupid, praised himself, and said to everyone: "You can only talk about the head of the kang at home! According to me, Gu Zhan brought a lot of money and goods from the house to the house. If it weren't for me, everyone would eat Han. The old man clamped his mouth and turned to Tokyo. There was a bang, and he didn't make a sound when he was thrown into the water. Now he still doesn't tell me every "yes", saying that I transferred the master's money, and framed me for a right and wrong I don't know if it's the stock-cutting ones, nor do I know about the fragrant ones. Since ancient times, I have believed in people's tunes, and I have lost the ladle."

The daughter-in-law Zi Huixiang scolded: "The whore who chews the tongue! She said that the couple transferred a lot of money, and they were married in layman's hands. When the old man went out, he asked my sister for some jewelry and clothes, and said It's my master's money! It doesn't matter if you want to squeeze me and my wife out. Every time I go out, Mo Tian won't be hungry and crows will eat grass. I'll wash my eyes and see you whores and slaves , live in prison at Ximen Qing's house!"

Seeing him yelling and yelling at the younger, Yueniang found the boss and others to yell and hang herself; house door.Now that Baobao and his brother-in-law opened a cloth shop, selling all kinds of fine cloth, meeting relatives and friends every day, and doing business, it's no problem.It is exactly: a defeated slave deceives the master, and a declining ghost tricks others.
