Jinpingmei

Chapter 87

The poem said: You lament in me, the world is chaotic and everything.The survivors asked for news, and the dead were dust and mud.

The humble son's family has been defeated, and when the strong man returns.After walking for a long time, I see empty alleys, and the atmosphere is miserable at the end of the day.

But every time a fox and a raccoon meet, their hairs stand erect and their canthus cracked angrily.I have a bracelet and a sword, and I complain about it.

It is said that Chen Jingji hired a boss to get up and asked Zhang Tuanlian to follow him. It is no problem to go to Tokyo in the morning.But Wu Yueniang sent Pan Jinlian out, and sent Chunhong to call Mrs. Xue the next day to sell Qiuju.This Chunhong was walking to the main street, when he bumped into Earl Ying, he stopped and asked, "Chunhong, where are you going?"

Chunhong said: "The aunt sent the young one to call the matchmaker, Mrs. Xue."

"What do you call a matchmaker for?" asked the count.

Chunhong said: "Sell the girl Qiuju in Wuniang's room."

The count asked again: "Why did your fifth wife send you out to marry someone?"

This Chunhong was like this, "Because I had something to say with my brother-in-law, my aunt knew, she sent Miss Chunmei first, then beat my brother-in-law, and drove out to go home. I just sent my fifth lady yesterday Come."

The count nodded after hearing this, and said, "It turns out that your fifth mother and your brother-in-law have a hawthorn, and no one can be seen."

Then she said to Chunhong: "Boy, your father is dead, what are you doing at his house? There is no birth in the end. You still want to go to the south of you in your heart? Or find someone here to follow."

Chunhong said: "That's what I said. My father is gone. The aunt at home is so strict that she has closed all business and sold the house. Qin Tong'er and Hua Tong'er have gone away, but I can't take care of this." Many people came. The young ones went back to the south, but no one took them along. There is no way to find someone in this city.”

The earl said: "Silly boy, people have no vision, and they are not secure. There are thousands of mountains and rivers, and what are you going to do in the south? You can sing a few words in your stomach, and I am worried that no master can be found in this city to agree. Now I put up my bail. There is a connection with you. Now Dafang Zhang Er’s father’s family has tens of millions of wealth. After seeing the top, your father is in charge of thousands of households in the criminal court. Now your second mother is working as the second room in his house. You send him to his house and promise that when he sees that you can sing Nanqu, he will go up to the stack with a single stroke of affection, and leave you as a follower of a high-ranking official, which is no better than being in your house. He has a good temperament and is young , and suave, and loving, you are a good luck."

This Chunhong fell to the ground and kowtowed: "There is a tired second father. If the younger one sees old father Zhang, he will have a place to buy a gift and kowtow to his second father."

The count took Chunhong by the hand and said, "Stupid boy, get up, there is no one in me who is not a man, would you like to thank me? You'll get the money!"

Chunhong said: "The little one has gone, I'm afraid the old lady at home will catch the little one?"

The count said: "It doesn't matter. I'll ask your father Zhang Er for a subsidy, and give him a tael of silver. His family doesn't dare to accept the money. I'm afraid I won't send it to you without your hands."

After finishing speaking, Chunhong went to Mrs. Xue's house and called Mrs. Xue.See Yueniang, bring Qiuju out, only sell five taels of silver, and hand it over to Yueniang, no problem.

But he said that Earl Ying led Chunhong to Zhang Erguan's house and met him.Zhang Erguan saw that he was handsome and could sing Nanqu, so he left him and agreed.So he took the thank you note, sealed a tael of silver, and sent it to Ximen Qing's house to ask for his box.That day, Wu Yueniang's family was having wine with Yunli's guard wife, Fan Shi.First, Yunli Shoubu was an acquaintance at Qinghe Zuowei. Seeing that Ximenqing was dead, Wu Yueniang was a widow, and she had something in her hand, she felt at ease and wanted to covet plots.Today, I bought eight plates of Tangguo gifts to see Yueniang.Seeing that Yueniang gave birth to Brother Xiao, there is also a daughter in Fan's house, Fang Eryue'er, who wants to marry Yueniang.After eating wine that day, the two families cut off their skirts and became in-laws of their children, leaving a pair of gold rings as a betrothal gift.I heard Dai An'er took it into Zhang Erguan's post, and gave him a tael of silver, saying that Chunhong had invested in his house and agreed to go, so that people came to ask for his box of clothes.When Yueniang saw that he was the prisoner, it was hard not to let him go, and the money was never collected, so she had to take out the box.

At the beginning, Earl Ying said to Zhang Erguan: "Pan Jinlian, the fifth lady of Ximenqing, was born beautifully and could play the pipa. She was familiar with all kinds of lyrics and music, Shuanglu chess, and she could write. Because she couldn't keep it at a young age, she also played with him. Auntie is in harmony, send it out today, and get married at Wang Po's house."

This piece of two officials, one for two, made the family bring silver to Wang Po's house to see each other. Wang Po only pushed his eldest lady to pay, and asked for 100 taels of silver.The man talked back and forth several times, and when it reached 80 taels, Wang Po still didn't utter a word.After Chunhong came to his house, Zhang Erguan heard Chunhong say that the woman sent her out only after raising her son-in-law at home.I don't want this second official, and said to the earl: "In my house, a 15-year-old child is studying at school. What do you want such a woman to come to the house?"

I also heard Li Jiaoer say that Jinlian used poison to manipulate the man to death, but Ximen Qing occupied the future house, stole the servant, and killed the sixth lady by eating him alive.In this way, Zhang Erguan will not want it.

The words are divided into two ends.But he said that Chunmei was sold to the guard's mansion, and the guard was overjoyed to see that he was beautiful and smart, with a charming demeanor.I lived in three rooms with him, and I sent a little servant girl to rest in his room for three nights.In three days, he cut two sets of clothes for him.Sister-in-law Xue went and rewarded Sister-in-law Xue with five coins.He also bought a maid to support him and made him the second wife.The eldest lady is blind in one eye, eats a long fast and prays to Buddha, and doesn't mind her own business.There is also the birth sister, son and grandson Erniang, who live in the east chamber.Chunmei is in the West Wing, and she teaches him to handle the keys everywhere, and she dotes on him very much.One day, I heard from Mrs. Xue that Jin Lian came out to be married at Wang Po's house. This Chunmei cried and cried at night and said to the guard: "My mother and I have been staying together for the past few years. He is not angry. Look at me and treat me like my own daughter. I only know that they have been separated, and I don’t want him to come out today. If you are willing to marry him, my mother will stay together and live a good life.”

He also said how good-looking he was, he was good at all kinds of lyrics and music, and he could play the pipa.Clever and handsome, full of cleverness.Those who belong to the dragon are only 32 years old today. "If he comes, I would rather be the third."

So he changed his mind on defense, and asked his subordinates to seal two handkerchiefs and two coins with Zhang Sheng and Li An, and went to Wang Po's house to see her. She really gave birth to a wonderful woman.Wang Po opened her mouth and said that his eldest lady wanted 100 taels of silver.Zhang Sheng and Li An talked for a long time, and paid back 80 taels, but the old lady refused, and asked for 100 taels: "The matchmaker doesn't want money, and the sky doesn't make empty people."

Zhang Sheng and Li An had no choice but to take back the silver to report to the defense.Lost for two days, how can I stop the spring plum from crying and crying at night: "At least add a few taels of silver, marry and be a slave, and die willingly."

The guard saw that Chunmei was just crying, so he had to send Zhou Zhong, the big housekeeper, and Zhang Sheng "Li An, holding the silver in the felt bag, open it and show it to the mother-in-law, and add another 90 taels."The mother-in-law became more and more nervous, and said, "If it's 90 taels, it won't be the case now, and I will carry it to Zhang Er's father's house."

Zhou Zhong got annoyed this time, and gave Li An the money, saying: "There is nowhere to find the three-legged toad, and the two-legged wife can't find it! This old whore doesn't even know anyone. What do you say about that What's wrong with the second official's mansion, the old man in my mansion doesn't care about you? It's not that the newly married young lady has repeatedly said in front of the old man that if he wants to marry this woman, what use is he to spend all this money for nothing!"

Li An said: "Let me go back and forth two or three times, the old whore is getting more and more like a parrot!"

He pulled Zhou Zhong and said, "Housekeeper, let's go, and when we get home, master, can you teach the prisoner to take it and have a good meal with him."

This old woman was always greedy for Chen Jingji's stuttering, so he scolded her, but she didn't speak.When the two went to the mansion, they reported back to the guard and said, "It has been added to 90 taels, but I still refuse."

The guard said: "Tomorrow, I will pay him 100 taels. Let's carry it in a sedan chair."

Zhou Zhong said: "The Lord gave 100 taels, and Wang Po also asked for five taels of money from a matchmaker. If he loses him for two days, if he is Zhang Zhi, he will be afraid to have a slap with him in the mansion."

The judge heard that Daduan Jinlian was born with a land and died with a place, so Zhou Zhong could not argue with these two words.There are friends: this woman has done something in the past, and she is not interested in coming together now.There are poems to prove: Although there is no prior knowledge in life, who is the cause of misfortune and fortune?Good and evil will eventually be rewarded in the end, just fight for the early and the late.

Press one head.Since Shan Biao Wu Song was expelled from the prison city of Mengzhou, thanks to the kind care of the little Guanying.After the second time, Shi En competed with Jiang Menshen for the Happy Forest Hotel, and was injured by Jiang Menshen. Yang Wusong fought back and beat Jiang Menshen.I don't want Jiang Menshen's sister, Yulan, to marry Zhang Dujian as a concubine, earn Wu Song, pretend to be a thief, torture Wu Song, and send him to Anping Village to serve as an army.This Wu Song went to Feiyunpu, killed two more gentlemen, turned around and killed Zhang Dujian, Jiang Menshen and his family, and fled to Shi En's house.Shi En wrote a book and sealed 100 taels of silver in the suitcase, teaching Wu Song to go to Anping Village and Zhizhai Liu Gao, and teach him to take care of him.I didn't want to hear on the way that the prince set up the East Palace and released Jiaotian amnesty. Wu Song met the amnesty and went home. He went to Qinghe County to get the paperwork, and he was still working in the county and was the head of the capital.When I came home, I found my neighbor Yao Yilang and delivered it to Yinger.At that time, Ying'er had grown up to 19 years old, and she took her home and lived together.Someone told him, "Ximenqing is dead, and your sister-in-law has come out again. She is still at Wang Po's house and will marry sooner or later."

This guy is buckled, and the old grudge is in his heart.It is exactly: there is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

The next day, Li Pei put on her clothes and walked past the gate of Wang Po's door.Jin Lian was standing under the curtain. When she saw Wu Song coming, she hurried into the room.Wu Song opened the curtain and asked, "Mama Wang is at home?"

The woman was grinding and sweeping her face, she came out quickly and said, "Who is Laoshen?"

Seeing that it was Wu Song, he said Wanfu.Wu Song sang deeply.The mother-in-law said: "Brother Wu, congratulations, when did you come home?"

Wu Songdao: "Yu She went home and arrived yesterday. My mother has always been tired of looking after the house, so I will thank you another day."

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "Second brother Wu is more caring than before, and he has a beard and hawthorn, and he is of good stature, and he has learned such courtesy outside."

On the one hand, he invited him to sit up and ordered tea.Wu Songdao: "I have something to tell my mother."

The mother-in-law said, "What's the matter? Brother Wu just wants to talk."

Wu Songdao: "People I heard said that Ximenqing is dead. My sister-in-law came out and lived with your old man. Dare to bother my mother to tell my sister-in-law that if he doesn't marry, it's fine. Now, I will marry my sister-in-law and go to her sister-in-law's house to take care of Ying'er, and sooner or later, I will recruit a son-in-law, and the family will live together, and the concubine will not teach people to laugh."

At the beginning, the mother-in-law didn't say anything, so she said, "He's here with me, but I don't know whether to marry or not."

When I heard thanking him the next time, I said, "Wait for me to talk to him slowly."

The woman heard Wu Song's words in the curtain, and wanted to marry him to take care of Ying'er. Seeing that Wu Song had grown up and gained weight outside, and could talk again than before, she kept her old heart and said to herself: "I The marriage is still in his hands."

Can't wait for Wang Po to call him, come out by herself, say good luck to Wu Song, and say: "Since I am an uncle, I want my servant to take care of Ying'er and recruit a son-in-law to start a family. You know it's good."

Wang Po said: "One thing for me, only the eldest lady of his family wants 100 taels of silver to marry."

Wu Songdao: "How do you want so many?"

Wang Po said: "The official of Ximen, he did a lot for him at the beginning, so he hit a silver man and hooked him up."

Wu Song said: "It doesn't matter. Since I want to invite my sister-in-law to go, I can pay 100 taels. Another five taels of silver will be spent with your old man."

Hearing this, the old lady liked it so much, she said without saying a word: "Second brother Wu is still Zhili. I have seen a lot of things in the Jianghu these few years, he is really a good guy."

After hearing this, the woman went into the house, ordered another minute of tea with melon kernels, and passed it to Wu Song with both hands to eat.The mother-in-law asked: "Now his family is going to lose their hair, and there are three or four official families vying to marry, but they all refused, and the price is not exchanged. You should work faster for your money. As the saying goes, let the rice go first." Eat first, and a thousand-mile marriage will be bound by a thread, so don't let it fall into the hands of others."

The woman said: "Since you want to marry a slave, uncle should be tighter."

Wu Song said quickly, "I'll come to exchange the money tomorrow, and I'll invite my sister-in-law over in the evening."

The old woman still didn't believe that Wu Song had the money, so she agreed to go.

The next day, Wu Song opened the suitcase, took out Shi En and Zhizhai Liu Gao's 100 taels of silver, and wrapped another five taels of silver, went to Wang Po's house, and took the balance to exchange it.Seeing Bai Huanghuang setting up a table of silver, the old lady said nothing, but said to herself: "Although Chen Jingji promised 100 taels, he went to Tokyo to pick it up, but I don't know when it will come. I looked up and closed the bell, so I went to pick it up." Forging a bell?"

Seeing Wuliang thanking him again, he quickly accepted it.After bowing and bowing, he said, "Second Brother Wu still knows people's ups and downs."

Wu Song said: "Mom has collected the money, and I will invite my sister-in-law to come over today."

The mother-in-law said: "Second brother Wu, you are very impatient. Put flowers behind the door—you can't wait until it's too late? I will send him over after I pay the money to his aunt."

He said again: "You have a bare hat today, and you will be a bridegroom in the evening."

That Wu Song felt uncomfortable, and the woman, not knowing what to do, taunted him again.Sending Wu Song out, he thought to himself: "His aunt only told me to lose weight, but she didn't decide the price with me. I just pay him 20 taels of silver at will, and if I tie up a ghost, I'll let him take half of it to support the family."

He chiseled off 20 taels of silver and delivered it to Yueniang's house.Yueniang asked: "Which family is married?"

Wang Po said: "The rabbit ran along the mountain and returned to the old nest. After marrying his uncle, he went to eat porridge from the old pot."

After hearing this, Yueniang stumbled in secret, and she often said, "When an enemy sees an enemy, his eyes are exceptionally clear." She said to Meng Yulou, "In the future, he will die at the hands of his brother-in-law. If a man kills people without beheading his eyes, how can he give up!"

Not to mention the sighs at Yueniang's house, but she said that Wang Po paid the silver and arrived home. In the afternoon, Wang Chao taught Wang Chao to send the woman's box, cage and table first.This Wu Song had already packed up at home early, bought wine and meat, and arranged vegetables.In the evening, the mother-in-law led the woman through the door, changed her filial piety, wore a new (髟迪) bun, wore a red dress, and covered her head.When I entered the door, I saw bright lights and candles in the bright room, and the Wu Da Ling card was erected to make offerings to it.Entering the door and entering the room, Wu Song paid Ying'er to lock the front door and the back door.When Wang Po saw her, she said, "Second Brother Wu, let me go, there is no one at home."

Wu Song said: "Mom, please come in and have a glass of wine."

Wu Song taught Ying'er to put the vegetables on the table, and immediately served wine, and invited the woman and Wang Po to drink.Wu Song refused to let him pour the wine, and drank four or five bowls of wine in a row.Seeing that he ate badly, the old woman said, "Second brother Wu, I'm drunk. Let me go. You two can eat as you please."

Wu Song said: "Mom, stop talking nonsense! I, Wu Er, have something to ask you!"

Hearing a whistling sound, he drew out a two-foot-long simple knife with a thin back and a thick back to the bottom of his clothes. He held the target in one hand and pressed it to cover his heart with the other. Just bearded, said: "Sister Hugh was surprised! Since ancient times, the wrong has its head, and the debt has its own owner. Hugh pushed it to sleep in a dream. My brother's life is on your body!"

The mother-in-law said: "Second brother Wu, it's night, it's not a place to play with a knife and stick when drunk."

Wu Song said: "Don't talk nonsense, old lady, I, Wu Er, am not afraid of death! When I ask this whore, take your time to ask you, old pig and dog! If you make a move, you will eat me five or seven knives first."

Turning his face back, he looked at the woman and cursed: "Listen, you whore! Why did my brother murder him? To be honest, I will forgive you."

The woman said: "Uncle, how can you be so cold? It doesn't make sense! Your brother hurt himself and died of illness. What are you doing to me?"

Without further ado, Wu Song stabbed the knife on the table, grabbed the woman's hairpin with his left hand, held the woman's chest with his right hand, and kicked the table, smashing all the dishes and cups.How big was that woman, she was gently lifted across the table by this man, and dragged out of the outer spirit table.Seeing that the momentum was not good, the woman ran to the front door, which was bolted again.He was overtaken by Wu Song with a stride, grabbed him to the ground, untied his waist with a belt, tied his hands and feet like a monkey offering fruit, and couldn't get away. The lady does it by herself, and doesn't do my business."

Wu Songdao: "Old pig and dog, I already know, what do you blame? You taught that guy Ximen Qing to send me into exile. How could I go home again today! But where is that guy Ximen Qing? , cut this whore first, and then kill you, you old pig!"

When he brought up the knife, he saw two frowns on the woman's face.

The woman hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, please forgive me, let me get up, wait for me to say it."

As soon as Wu Song mentioned it, he mentioned the woman, stripped it clean, and knelt down in front of the spirit table.Wu Song shouted: "Speak up, whore!"

The woman was so frightened that she had no choice but to tell the truth. She closed the curtain at that time and beat Ximen Qingqi, and made clothes into a horse to commit adultery. Then she kicked Wu Da's heart, how did Wang Po instigate poison, set aside and burn, and then How did you get married at home? I told you everything, from beginning to end.When Wang Po heard this, she just groaned in secret and said, "I'm a fool, but you told the truth, but you taught me how to hesitate."

Wu Song grabbed the woman with one hand, poured a libation with the other, lit the paper money, and said, "Brother, your ghost is not far away. Today Wu Song will avenge you."

Seeing that the momentum was not good, the woman waited to yell.Wu Song threw a handful of incense ashes into the furnace and stuffed it in his mouth, so he couldn't scream.Then he smashed his head and fell to the ground.The woman struggled and rolled all the hairpin rings off.Wu Song was afraid that he would struggle, so he kicked him in the ribs with his oil boots first, and then spread his chest with both hands. It was too late, so soon, he took the knife to the heart of the woman Bai Fufu and gouged it out. The blood hole, the blood comes out.The woman's starry eyes half-lighted, her feet only care about climbing.With a knife in his mouth, Wu Song went to open his chest with both hands, and with a begging sound, he tore off his heart, liver and five internal organs, and poured out his blood as an offering before the spirit.The head was cut off with a knife in the back, and the blood flowed all over the ground.The little girl Ying'er saw it, she just covered her face in a bluff.This guy Wu Song is very ruthless.Poor woman, it is the three inches of qi that are used in all kinds of ways, and everything is impermanent in one day.He died at the age of 32.But see: Youth dies everywhere in the hand, and pink powder dies when the knife falls.The seven souls are leisurely, and have gone to the Senluo Hall; the three souls are insignificant, and should return to the city of Wucheng.It's like the heavy snow in the early spring that crushes the willows, and the wind blows the plum blossoms in the twelfth lunar month.I don't know where this charming woman is going to go. Whose house will her soul go tonight?
There is a poem by the ancients, it is so painful to mourn the death of Jinlian: it is so pitiful to mourn Jinlian, take off her clothes and kneel before the coffin.Unexpectedly, Wu Er killed with a knife, but Ximen put on his legs and was stubborn.

The past is a dream, but the present is worthless.One life for another in the world, the retribution is clearly in sight.

When Wu Song killed the woman, the woman shouted, "Killed!"

When Wu Song heard his cry, he swung his knife forward and cut off his head too.Drag over the corpse.On the one hand, the woman's heart, liver and five internal organs were inserted with a knife under the eaves of the back building.

At that time, during the first shift, Daokouying'er was in the house.Ying'er said, "Uncle, I'm afraid!"

Wu Song said: "Baby, I don't care about you anymore."

Wu Song jumped over to Mrs. Wang's house and wanted to kill his son Wang Chao.I don't think Wang Chaohe deserves to die, but when he heard his mother calling, he knew that Wu Song was committing a crime, he wouldn't open the front door, and wouldn't answer the back door, so he went to the street in a panic and called Baojia.Those two neighbors knew that Wu Song was vicious, so who dared to move forward.Wu Song jumped over the wall and went to Wang Po's room, only to see that the lamp was on, but there was no one in the room.As he opened Wang Po's cage, he left his clothes on the ground.The 100 taels of silver were only handed over to Wu Yueniang for 20 taels, and there were 85 taels left, and some hairpin and ring jewelry, which Wu Song wrapped up.Lifting the Pudao, he went over the back wall, drove out of the city gate at the fifth watch, and hid with Zhang Qing and his wife on Shizipo.It's exactly: If you don't do eyebrow-wrinkling things in your life, there should be no teeth-gnashing people in the world.
