Jinpingmei

Chapter 89

The word said: The fate of a beautiful woman is poor, sighing for the red powder, how much loess.Is it because God doesn't care about it, and people can choose their likes and dislikes?

Not only endowed with charming appearance, but also full of wisdom, but sent lightly back.If you don't agree with this, you will not speak any more when you ask Tiantian.

It's a pity that the beauty of the country is beautiful, and it will fly away at any time, and it will be buried like this.May I ask where is the prosperity?
There are so many singing and dancing on the rooftops, spring outings in Zimo, evening shows at the green windows, and charming sisters.Frustration in life has never asked about the present and the past.

The right tune "Cuilou Yin" says that Yueniang prepared a table the next day, with a paper ruler and so on. The eldest sister was wearing a filial piety dress and sat in a sedan chair.Seeing Chen Jingji standing at the door, he asked, "Where are you from?"

Mrs. Xue said Wanfu and said, "Brother-in-law, don't push it away. Your mother-in-law's family came to burn paper with your father, and brought the eldest sister here."

Jing Ji said: "The one who fucked my dick is my mother-in-law! On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the door god came - half a month late. People have also entered the soil, so they came to sacrifice."

Mrs. Xue said: "My good brother-in-law, your mother-in-law said that the widow's family has no legs, and she didn't know that the coffin of her in-laws came home. Don't blame me for being a step late."

Just as I was talking, I saw the elder sister's sedan chair dropped at the door.Jing Ji asked, "Who is it?"

Mrs. Xue said: "Who else is there? Your mother-in-law has a bad heart. One will send the eldest sister home, and the other will burn paper with your father."

Jing Ji scolded: "Bring the adulteress back as soon as possible! If he is dead, what do I want him to do?"

Mrs. Xue said: "As the saying goes: Marrying a husband is the master. Why do you say this?"

Jingji said: "I don't want this whore anymore, why don't you go with me?"

The sedan chair bearer just stood still, Jing Ji kicked him twice and scolded: "If you don't carry it with me, I'll break your foot, and clean the whore's mane hair! "

Seeing him kicking up, the sedan chair bearer had no choice but to carry the sedan chair home.When Mrs. Xue called out his mother Zhang, the sedan chair had already been carried away.

Sister-in-law Xue had no choice but to teach Zhang to accept the sacrifice and came back to answer Wu Yueniang.Wu Yueniang was so angry that she fainted, and said: "You unreasonable, short-lived prisoner! At the beginning, your family moved to live with your husband's family for official business, and you have been supporting them for several years. Today, you rebelled and avenged your revenge. I only hate the dead ghost who took it back. The good guy is at home, if something happens, he will teach me to be a stinky mouse and teach him to be such a fart and shame."

Said to the eldest sister: "My child, you have seen it with your own eyes. The father-in-law and the mother-in-law have lost to him? You are his family in life, and his ghost in death. My family will also keep you. You go back tomorrow, don't want to Afraid of him, expecting him to take you into the well. He is so courageous, but he can't kill anyone, so there is no king in the world who can control him!"

No problem tonight.

On the next day, a sedan chair, taught Dai An'er to follow, and sent the eldest sister to Chen Jingji's house again.Not wanting Chen Jingji to be away, he went to add soil to his father's grave.Knowing the etiquette, Mrs. Zhang left her eldest sister behind, and said to Dai'an, "When the senior official comes home, please go over to his in-laws. Thank you for the sacrifice. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. He already had wine yesterday, so that's why. Let me talk about him slowly." .”

On the one hand, he takes care of Dai An'er and comforts him at home.

At the end of the day, when Chen Jingji came back from the grave, when he saw the elder sister, he kicked and beat her, and scolded: "What are you doing again, whore? You also said that I eat at your house, and your house keeps many boxes and cages for me. Because of this The big industry, the dishonorable ones support the son-in-law for nothing! The good ones will die thousands of times, what do I want you, whore, to do?"

The eldest sister also scolded: "Shameless prisoner! Unreasonable prisoner! Whores go out to eat people and kill them. No one can stop me from killing me."

Being pulled by Jingji's hair, he punched him a few times as hard as he could.His mother came to persuade him and pushed his mother over.His mother yelled, cursed and cried, saying: "You are so stupid, your eyes are red, you don't even recognize me!"

In the evening, the elder sister was sent to the future in a sedan chair, and the payment was said: "If you don't ask, I will leave the dowry box and come home. I will kill you, whore."

The eldest sister was afraid, and hid at home to live, and dared not go again.This is exactly: who knows that good things can change, and a thought can be turned into a medium of resentment.Not here.No problem.

Let's say one day, the Ching Ming Festival in March.Wu Yueniang prepared incense candles, money papers, and sacrifices for the three animals, and carried two large food boxes to the tombs outside the city and the new tombs of Ximen Qing.Sun Xue'e, the eldest sister and all the maids were left to look after the house.He took Meng Yulou and Xiaoyu with him, and his grandma Ruyi, who was holding Brother Xiao in his arms, went to the grave in a sedan chair.Uncle Wu and concubine Wu were invited to go with them.Out of the city gate, I saw the wilderness in the outskirts, the scenery is beautiful, the flowers are red and the willows are green, and there are many ladies and visitors.Throughout the year, there is no spring, the best scenery.The sun is called a beautiful day, and the wind is called a gentle breeze, blowing willow eyes, blooming flower hearts, and blowing fragrant dust.The weather is warm, which is called Xuan.The weather is cold, which is called steep.The horse he rides is called a BMW.The sedan chair you sit in is called a fragrant car.The road you walk is called the Fang Path.The dust that flies underground is called fragrant dust.Thousands of flowers grow stamens, and thousands of grasses sprout, which is called spring letter.The time is light, and the scenery is harmonious.Xiaotao's face is enchanting with deep makeup, and her waist is delicate and graceful.The hundred-turning oriole was startled back to the noon dream, and the Ziyan said several times to break the sorrow of spring.The sun is long and the bath is light yellow, and the water is faint and fragrant and duck green.I don't know whose courtyard is separated from the water, and the green poplar smoke is hung high on the swing.The spring scene at the end is really good.There are poems as evidence: Where is there no smoke in the Qingming Festival, and paper money hangs on the breeze in the suburbs.People laugh, people sing, and the grassland is full of apricot blossoms.

On the branches of the crabapple, the warbler sings, and the drunken guest sleeps by the willow embankment.The pretty girls in pink compete for drawing boards, and the colorful ropes are swaying to learn how to fly.

Wu Yueniang waited for the sedan chair to go to the Wuliyuan grave. Dai'an took the food box and went to the kitchen to light a fire first.Yueniang, Yulou, Xiaoyu, and Naizi Ruyi held Brother Xiao in their arms, and sat down in the guest seat of Yuzhuang courtyard to have tea, waiting for Mrs. Wu, but they didn't see each other.Dai'an went to Ximenqing's grave to set up an altar, set up three animals on the table, cooked rice for sacrifices, and listed paper money, just waiting for Wu Dajinzi.It turned out that the eldest concubine couldn't hire a sedan chair, so she and Uncle Wu hired two donkeys to ride around when it was about time.Yue Niang then said: "My eldest sister can't hire a sedan chair, how can this donkey ride?"

While eating tea, changed clothes, and came to Ximenqing's grave to pay homage.That Yueniang held five sticks of incense in her hands, took one for herself, and gave one to Yulou, and another to her grandmother Ruyi'er to put on Brother Xiao, and the other two to Uncle Wu and eldest concubine.The moon mother inserted it into the incense burner, bowed deeply, and said, "My brother, you are a man in life and a god in death. Today is the Ching Ming Festival in March. Your filial wife, Third Sister Wu, Third Sister Meng, and your first birthday Child filial brother, I respectfully come and burn a bank of money papers in front of your grave. You bless him with a long life and be the person who visits the grave for you. My brother, I will be a husband and wife with you, thinking of you The appearance and the words are very sad."

Bibi, cover your face and cry bitterly.Yulou put the incense sticks forward, bowed deeply, and cried with Yueniang.When incense was lit in Yulou, the grandma Ruyier also knelt down to offer incense and kowtowed her brother in her arms.Uncle Wu and concubine burn incense.After finishing the ceremony, Dai'an burned the money paper.Let them go to the rolling shed on the village, put tables and mats to set meals, and clean up and drink.Yueniang asked uncle Wu and concubine to sit up.Yueniang and Yulou accompany her downstairs.Xiaoyu, Ruyi'er, the grandmother, and Lanhua, the elder sister of the eldest concubine's family envoy, also sat side by side, pouring wine.Click here to eat and drink.

But Biao also went to the grave in Zhou's garrison mansion that day.First, Chunmei slept with the guard overnight, pretending to be dreaming, and woke up crying in her sleep.The guard asked in a panic, "Why are you crying?"

Chunmei said: "I dreamed that my mother was crying to me, saying that she would raise me, why didn't she burn paper with him during Qingming, so she woke up from crying."

The guard said: "This is also a matter of adopting a daughter, your little filial piety. I don't know where your mother's grave is?"

Chunmei said: "It's behind the Yongfu Temple outside the south gate."

The guard said: "It doesn't matter, Yongfu Temple is my family's incense house. Tomorrow when our family goes to the grave, you ask your companion to carry some sacrifices, and burn the paper money with your mother there. It is also good."

On the next day, the guards ordered the family members to pack food boxes, wine and fruit offerings, and headed to the ancestral grave in the south of the city.There are large courtyards, halls, gardens, halls and altars.Grandma, Sun Erniang and Chunmei all sat in four-person sedan chairs, lined up the army, drank the road, and went to the grave to play with children.

However, Wu Yueniang and her uncle and sister-in-law had a drink, so they might come late, so they paid Dai'an and Lai'an packed up the food box, wine and fruit, and went to the restaurant in Xinghua Village first, and chose a place in Gaofu. Tables are waiting.I also saw that the eldest concubine had no sedan chair, so they all carried the sedan chair, followed behind without sitting, and led a group of men and women. Uncle Wu led the donkey, and walked behind them for outings.In the peach blossom shop in March, in Wuli Xinghua Village, I saw the kings, grandchildren and ladies playing with the graves on the road.In the middle of walking, there is something to do. From a distance, in the shadow of green locust trees, there is a nunnery, which is very neatly built.But see: the gate of the mountain is towering, and the Buddhist temple is quiet.The words on the forehead are clear, and the two strokes of King Kong are fierce.The five main halls are lined with green dragon scale tiles; the two monk's rooms are decorated with bricks and flowers on the back of the turtle.The front hall is for the weather, and the back hall is for the past and the future.The bell and drum towers stand tall, and the Buddhist scriptures pavilion is majestic.The flagpole is tall and meets the blue clouds, and the pagoda vaguely invades Bihan.The wooden fish hangs horizontally, and the cloud board hangs high.The lamps and candles in front of the Buddha are shining brightly, and the incense in the furnace is lingering.The banners are continuous, the Guanyin Hall is connected to the Patriarch Hall; the treasure cover is connected, and the ghost mother's place is connected to the Arhat Hall.From time to time, Dharma protectors come down from the heavens, and every year the venerable demon descendants come.

Wu Yueniang asked, "What is the name of this temple?"

Uncle Wu then said: "This is Master Zhou Xiu's Incense Fire Temple, named Yongfu Zen Forest. The day before yesterday, my brother-in-law was in Japan, and he gave up a few taels of silver to rebuild the Buddhist hall in this temple. It's so fresh."

Yueniang said to the eldest concubine, "Let's go to this temple to have a look."

So he led a group of men and women into the temple.After a while, the little novice saw it and reported it to the elder: "There are many men and women..."

Then he went out to welcome the abbot, met Wu Dajiu and Wu Yueniang, and asked the young monk with palms together, and hurriedly called the little monk to open the Buddhist hall: "Please let the Bodhisattva play as you like, and the little monk watch tea."

The little novice monk opened the door of the hall, led a group of men and women from Yueniang, visited the front and back corridors for a while, and then went to the elder abbot.The elder hurriedly ordered tea. Uncle Wu asked the elder his Taoist name, and the monk replied: "The little monk is named Daojian. This temple is the Zhou Ye Incense Temple in the residence of Commander En. OK, there are many wandering monks in the meditation hall behind, sitting in meditation all the time, repaying merits and virtues with Tanyue in all directions."

On the one hand, the abbot placed a fast in the middle and asked Yueniang: "All Bodhisattvas, please sit down."

Yueniang said: "Don't disturb the elder Baosha."

On the one hand, he took out five coins and asked the uncle to pass it to the elders, and asked for incense to burn in front of the Buddha.The monk thanked him for asking, and said: "Young monk, I don't care much. The almsgiver Bodhisattva sits down for a while and prepares a little tea. Why bother to give alms."

After a while, the little monk put down the table and brought up vegetarian vegetarian pancakes.The monk was sitting beside him, and when he held up chopsticks for everyone to eat, he suddenly saw two men in green clothes, panting as they walked away, and the thunderstorm reported to the elder, saying: "The elder is coming out to greet you, the little grandma in the mansion is here to offer sacrifices." coming!"

The panic-stricken elder wore cassocks and a monk's hat, and the little novice quickly took over the chores, "Bodhisattvas, please take refuge in the small room, and sent the little lady to burn the paper. After the sacrifice, go and sit down for a while." Not too late."

Uncle Wu left, but the monk kept him alive and refused to let him go.

The monk rang the bell and drum in a panic, went out of the mountain gate to meet him, and waited far away at the crossing of the horse road.I saw a group of people in Tsing Yi, surrounded by a big sedan chair, coming from Dongyun like flying, the bearers were all sweaty and their clothes were wet.The elder bowed and clapped his hands together and said: "I don't know my little grandma is here, so it's reasonable to meet him at a distance. If the reception is late, don't see any crime."

This Chunmei replied in the sedan chair, "Start the Elder."

That subordinate, who was in charge, went to the tomb of Jinlian at the back of the temple early, and hurriedly arranged the sacrificial table with paper money.When Chunmei's sedan chair came, she didn't go to the temple. She walked into the temple and got off the sedan chair under the poplar tree in front of the Jinlian grave.People in Tsing Yi serve on both sides.This Chunmei came to the grave calmly, laid incense, bowed four times, and said, "My mother, today Miss Pang Da came to burn Mozhi money with you. You will ascend to heaven for your good, and use the money for your troubles. I knew it earlier." You died at the hands of the enemy, so why did I marry you and come to the mansion, and have a relationship with you. I still delay you, it is too late to regret."

After finishing speaking, order Zuo Zuo to burn the money paper.Chunmei moved forward and burst into tears.

Wu Yueniang was in the monk's room, only knowing that the little lady in the house came, and the elder came out of the mountain gate to greet her, but she didn't come in.Asked the little monk, the little monk said: "There is a sister of the little grandma behind this temple. She was recently buried. Today, on Qingming Festival, I come here to sacrifice and burn paper."

Meng Yulou said casually, "I'm afraid it's Chunmei who came? She hasn't seen her either."

Yue Niang said: "His sister died and was buried here?"

Then he asked the little monk: "What's the name of the lady in this mansion?"

The little monk said: "My surname is Pang. The day before yesterday I gave the elder four or five taels of scripture money to teach him to recite scriptures for his sister, and recommended him to be born in heaven."

Yulou said: "I heard his father say that Chunmei's maiden name is Pang, and her name is Sister Pang, could it be him?"

Just as he was talking, the elder came first and gave the young novice: "Good tea."

After a while, the sedan chair was carried into the second gate of the abbot before getting off.Yueniang and everyone in Yulou opened the curtain of the monk's room and looked outside to see what kind of lady she is.When I looked closely, it was Chunmei.But compared to the past, he has grown up, his face is like a full moon, he is dressed in pink makeup and jade, with a crown on his head, heaps of pearls and emeralds, the phoenix hairpin is half removed, he is wearing a red makeup flower jacket, and he is wearing emerald orchid wisps of gold. Gorgeous skirts, with jingles, are much different than before.But see: the treasure bun is towering, and the phoenix hairpin is half removed.Hu Zhuhuan hangs low by the ears, and the golden phoenix is ​​dragged behind the temples.The red embroidered jacket is set against the jade-scented skin, and the golden lotus is reflected under the emerald skirt.When you move, there is a jade dingdang on your chest; when you sit down, there is a burst of musk orchid fragrance.The neck is covered with greasy powder makeup, and the tip of the eyebrow is cleverly pasted with flowers.His behavior is astonishing, his appearance is more beautiful than that of a quiet flower; his appearance is leisurely and elegant, and his personality is as gentle as Lanhui.If it wasn't for the birth of Qige, it must be the head of Lan Fang.Just like Qiongji from the Zifu leaving Bihan, like a fairy from the Rui Palace descending to the mortal world.

The elder placed a single public seat on top of the elder for Chunmei to sit on.After the elder's meeting was over, the young novice brought tea.The elder handed over the tea and said: "Today, I don't know that my grandma is here to offer sacrifices. If I miss you, please forgive me."

Chunmei said: "In other days, there are many elders who start to chant scriptures and recommend them."

The monk said: "How dare you, little monk. How can you be so diligent in repaying your benefactor? Grandma Duomeng gave you a lot of money. The little monk invited eight Zen monks to set up a Taoist temple. I read scriptures and repented for a day. In the evening, I met him again. The old man’s house was incinerated in some warehouses. The Taoist temple was completed, so the two housekeepers were sent into the city, and they returned to the house to talk to the little grandma.”

Chunmei ate tea, and the little monk took Zhongzhan.The elder just talked to Chunmei one by one, and blocked Wu Yueniang and the others, so it was difficult to come out.

The moon mother was afraid that it would be late, so the little monk invited the elders to come and get up.The elder refused to let go, so the abbot came and told Chunmei, "My little monk has something to tell my little grandma."

Chunmei said: "The elder has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

The elder said: "There are a few ladies who are playing around in the temple. They rejoice in the temple. They don't know that the little grandma is coming. Now that he wants to go back, I don't know how respectful the little grandma is."

Chunmei said: "Elder, why don't you invite me to meet you?"

The elder hurriedly came to invite him.Wu Yueniang refused to come out again, she just said: "Elder, don't see me. It's getting late, we're leaving."

When the elder saw that he had accepted his donation, he didn't care about it, and he didn't like it, so he just urged him again and again.Wu Yueniang, Meng Yulou, and Wu Dajin couldn't resist, so they had to come out. Chunmei said at the first sight, "So it's the two mothers and the eldest concubine."

So let the eldest concubine turn up first, and kowtow down in a showy manner.The panicked eldest sister-in-law couldn't return the courtesy, and said, "Sister, this is not what it used to be, and I will kill my old body."

Chunmei said: "What a great concubine, how can you say this, slaves are not that kind of people. It's a natural gift to be superior or inferior."

After worshiping the eldest concubine, he kowtowed to Yueniang and Meng Yulou by inserting candles.Yueniang and Yulou also wanted to return the gift, but Chunmei was willing to help her up, kowtowed her four heads, and said, "I don't know if it's the girls here, if I knew it, please come out and meet me."

Yueniang said: "Sister, ever since you left the house and stayed in the mansion, you have always been a slave and rude, never looked at you, don't blame me."

Chunmei said: "Good grandma, how dare you say it's strange that I was born there."

Seeing the grandma Ruyi holding Brother Xiao, she said, "My brother has grown so much."

Yueniang said: "You and Xiaoyu come here and kowtow to sister."

Ruyi'er and Xiaoyu came over smiling and kowtowed to Chunmei.Yue Niang said: "Sister, you accept two gifts from him."

Chunmei pulled out a pair of gold-headed and silver hairpins from her head, and stuck them on Brother Xiao's hat.Yueniang said: "Thank you, sister, hairpin, I'm not singing with my sister yet."

Ruyi'er hugged her elder brother, and really sang with Chunmei, so that Yueniang couldn't like her very much.Yulou said: "Sister, if you don't come to the temple today, how can we girls meet in one place?"

Chunmei said: "It's because my mother and his old man were newly buried behind this temple, and the slave was in his hands for a while. He has no relatives and no reason. I don't remember to burn a piece of paper for him. How can I get by."

Yueniang said: "I remember that your mother has been gone for several years, so I don't know if she is buried here."

Meng Yulou said: "My aunt still doesn't know what Sister Pang said, and she said that Sister Pan Six is ​​dead. Thanks to Sister, he is now buried here."

After hearing this, Yueniang stopped talking.Wu Dajinzi said: "Who is so kind as my sister, who refuses to forget the past and is buried. You commemorate him during the festival, and come and burn money for him."

Chunmei said: "Grandma, I wondered how he would lift me up! Today he suffered a bitter death, and left him so exposed, why not bury him?"

After finishing speaking, the elder taught the young monk to set up the table and serve the meal.Two big tables of eight immortals, steamed pastries, all kinds of vegetarian dishes and vegetables, piled up with spring tables, fine spring buds, sparrow tongues, sweet water and good tea.Everyone ate and took home work.Uncle Wu has his own monk's room to take care of him, so it's no problem.

Meng Yulou got up, thinking he would go to Jinlian's grave and burn a piece of paper for him, just like a sister.Seeing that Yueniang didn't move, she took out five cents of silver and taught the little novice to buy paper.The elder said: "My lady, you don't need to buy it. I have gold and silver paper here. Take some of it and burn it."

Yulou handed over the silver to the elder, and asked the little novice to lead it to the golden lotus grave under the poplar tree behind.Burned a stick of incense, lit the paper money, bowed, and said, "Sixth Sister, I don't know where you are buried. Today, Third Sister Meng went to the temple by mistake and burned Moqian paper with you. You will go to heaven for your good, and use the money for your troubles. "

While crying loudly.Seeing Yulou going behind, the nurse Ruyi also hugged Brother Xiao to have a look.Yueniang talked to Chunmei in the abbot's room, and taught the nanny to hug the child, so as not to frighten him.Ruyi'er said: "Grandma, it's okay, I know."

Carry it to the grave, watch Yulou burn paper and cry and come back.

Chunmei and Yueniang evened their faces, changed their clothes, and gave the little companion to open the food box, put all kinds of fruit and sweets, delicacies and snacks into boxes, set down two tables, sieve wine into the cloth retort, and put the silver bell on it. Yazhu, please sit on the upper floor of the eldest concubine, Yueniang, and Yulou, and he will take the lead to accompany you.Naizi and Xiaoyu are both fighting on both sides.Uncle Wu put another table in the monk's room.In the middle of drinking, I suddenly saw two companions in green clothes coming, knelt down and said: "Master is in Xinzhuang, and I am here to invite my little grandma to watch a variety show. The eldest grandma and the second grandma have gone, please go quickly Mile."

Chunmei calmly said, "Go back, I see."

The two promised to come down, but they dared not go, and waited below.The eldest concubine and Yueniang wanted to get up and said, "Sister, don't disturb me. It's getting late and you have something to do. Let's go."

That Chunmei was willing to let it go, so she just ordered the big clock to persuade her: "Our girls will leave less and more, and we all know each other well, don't want to break this relationship. There is no reason for slaves to marry each other, until tomorrow mother's Good day, I'm going home."

Yueniang said: "My sister, I'll hook you up just by saying it, how dare I start you? One day, I will go to see my sister."

After drinking a cup, Yueniang said: "I'm drunk, your eldest sister-in-law doesn't have a sedan chair, it's very late, it's not good."

Chunmei said: "My sister-in-law doesn't have a sedan chair. I have a small horse here, so I take a horse to ride with my sister-in-law. I shut up and go home."

The eldest concubine refused again and again, resigned, and then packed up.Chunmei called the elder to come, and asked the little companion to take out a big cloth and five qian silver to the elder.The elder thanked him and sent him out of the mountain gate.Chunmei bid farewell to Yueniang, seeing Yueniang and everyone in Yulou got into the sedan chair, he also took the sedan chair, and the two separated, a group of people shouted and went up to Xinzhuang.It is exactly: the leaves still have time to meet, how can people have no luck.
