Chapter 90 Lai Wang Steals Sun Xue'e

The poem said: The dodder is attached to the fluffy hemp, and the vines are not long.It is better to abandon the side of the road than lose your virginity and mad husband.

Twilight is good for you, and you don't want to warm your bed.Farewell in the morning, nothing is too hasty.

On the verge of death, the old man hurts his midgut.

It is said that Uncle Wu led Yue Niang and a group of men and women away from Yongfu Temple and came along the long embankment of big trees.Dai'an was already at the bottom of Xinghua Restaurant. It was crowded with people. He chose a place in Gaofu, set up wine and food on the mat under the curtain, and waited for a long time.From a distance, Wang Yueniang, all the sedan chairs and donkeys arrived, and asked, "Why are we here?"

Yueniang told again about meeting Chunmei in Yongfu Temple.Not a while to pour wine.Everyone sat down and was drinking, only to see the fragrant cars and embroidered hubs downstairs, and the noise of people.All the people in Yueniang stared at Gao Fu, and looked at it, only to see a sea of ​​people surrounded by people, all watching the teacher walking and playing.

It turned out to be Li Yanei, the son of Xianggong, the magistrate of the county. His name was Li Gongbi. He was about thirty years old. Walking in the two alleys of Wa, people call him "Li Stick". That day he was wearing light and soft clothes, a golden cap wrapped around a brown hat, and dry yellow boots on his feet. Holding slingshots, blowing tubes, and bats at the restaurant in Xinghua Village, watching the teacher Li Gui show off on horseback, erect shoulders, girdles, round guns and sticks, and play various skills, attracting many men and women to gather around the bakery laugh.Li Gui's nickname is Shandong Yacha, wearing a swastika on his head, wearing a purple narrow shirt, and wrapping his belly in gold. He sits on a silver-maned horse, holds a vermilion spear in his hand, and puts a flag in his back. He saddles his horse in the middle of the street. , Show off tricks.This Li Yameni was looking at the place, when he suddenly looked up and saw a group of women drinking wine in Gaofu, among them was a tall woman with a tall figure, her eyes were shaking, she didn't see enough, she didn't see enough, she didn't say anything, but she felt in her heart Secretly said: "I don't know who the woman is, is there a man?"

On the one hand, Xiao Zhang, who had been promised by his subordinates, came over and quietly distributed: "Go to the high slope and find out who the three women in white belong to. Tell me the truth."

That little Zhang promised, and Yunfei ran away.Not long after, he walked up to him and whispered in his ear, saying: "So and so, they are the wife and child of Ximen Qing's family in front of the county gate. An old man named Wu is his concubine; a five-short figure is his eldest wife Wu Yueniang; The one with white pockmarks is the third lady, her surname is Meng, her first name is Yulou; she is now a widow at home."

After hearing this, Li Yanei looked at Meng Yulou alone and rewarded Xiao Zhang Xian a lot, no problem.

Wu Yueniang and her uncle watched it for half a day, and when they saw the sun shining on the mountain, Dai An ordered Dai'an to pack up the food box, get on a sedan chair and ride a donkey all the way home.There are poems to prove it: Willow flowers overcast the dust on the road, and once you visit, you will enjoy a new one.It is destined to meet thousands of miles away, but it is not destined to face each other without a blind date.

It doesn't matter if everyone in Yueniang goes home here.But it was said that day, Sun Xue'e and Sister Ximen were at home, and there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so they all went out to stand at the front of the gate.It's just a matter of time, and I don't want to come over with a shocking boudoir.At that time, selling cosmetics, living in flowers and greenery, and grinding mirrors shocked the boudoir.The eldest sister said: "I fainted in the mirror."

Envoy Ping'an'er: "Stop that man, and grind the mirror with me."

The man put down his burden and said, "I don't know how to sharpen mirrors. I only sell some gold and silver to make a living. Jewelry is decorated with emerald flowers."

Standing in front of the door, he only looked up and down at Xue'e.Xue'e said: "That man, you don't know how to sharpen a mirror, go ahead and just look at me!"

The man said: "Snow girl, big girl, don't you recognize me?"

The eldest sister said: "It looks familiar, but I can't remember it in a hurry."

The man said: "I am Lai Wanger who went out from my father's hand."

Xue'e said, "Where have you been these few years? You've gotten so fat."

Lai Wang'er said: "I left my father's house and went to Xuzhou, where I was originally from. The family was idle and did not make a living, so I joined my father to go to Beijing to be an official. Unexpectedly, his master died halfway, and Ding You's family went. I then I invested in Gu Yin’s shop in the city, learned this bank’s skills, and lived in all kinds of ways. The market was late these two days, and Gu Yin’s shop taught me to carry the burden. If you dare to come to recognize each other, I’m afraid you’ll just walk away. It’s not your old man who stopped me today, so I dare not recognize each other.”

Xue'e said: "So it was you. Taught me to only recognize it for a long time, but I can't remember it. Since you are an old son and daughter, what are you afraid of?"

Yin asked: "What kind of life are you selling in your bearer? Pick it in and wait for me to take a look."

Then Wang'er carried the load into the inner courtyard.Open the box and take out some jewelry in the box: gold and silver inlays are different, and the craftsmanship is very ingenious.The eldest sister and Xue'e looked at it for a while, and asked Lai Wanger: "You still have Huacui, take it out."

So Sun Xue'e kept him a pair of emerald phoenixes and a pair of golden fishes wearing willows.The eldest sister weighed out the silver and gave it to him.Xue'e lived a different life and owed him one or two taels of silver, so she made an appointment with him: "Come and pick it up tomorrow morning. Your aunt is not at home today, and your third mother and brother went to the grave to burn paper with your father."

Laiwang said: "When I was at home last year, I heard people say that my father was dead. My aunt gave birth to a brother, I'm afraid it will be very big."

Xue'e said: "Your aunt is only half a week old now. A family, big or small, is like a jewel on a jewel. It all depends on him to live."

During the conversation, Laizhao's wife Yi Zhangqing came out and poured a cup of tea for him to eat, and Lai Wang'er took the tea and sang a song with him.Laiwang was also in front of him and talked back.Pay: "You come to see the aunt tomorrow."

Then Wang'er took the burden and went out.

In the evening, Yueniang and all the sedan chairs came home.Xue'e, eldest sister, and all the girls followed suit and kowtowed.Dai'an couldn't get on with the box bearer, so he hired a donkey to ride home and sent the box bearer away.Yueniang told Xue'e and eldest sister that she met Chunmei in the temple today: "It turned out that he buried the Pan family at the back of the temple, I never knew. He came to burn paper for his mother, and met him by mistake. Every time the mother recognized her relatives again. First, the elders in the temple set up a fast and ate. After that, he taught his companions to put out forty or fifty boxes of his family, with all kinds of vegetables and vegetables for rice, and sifted wine. Er, I got a pair of hairpins with him again, so unfriendly. I got up and down three times, sat five times, sat in a big sedan chair, and many followed. Moreover, those who came out grew up better than before, and became whiter and fatter."

Mrs. Wu said: "He doesn't change and often forgets the old. When I was at our house, I saw that he acted more honestly than other maids, and spoke calmly. He was just a genius. You see, today's blessing is so good that he is so lucky. .”

Meng Yulou said: "My sister didn't ask him, I asked him. Sure enough, I haven't washed and changed for half a year, and I'm pregnant with a happy event. It's only a child in August and September, so I don't like it. Sister Xue is not bad."

After talking for a while, Xue'e mentioned: "My mother is not here today. My eldest sister and I were at the door, and I saw Lai Wanger. It turned out that he learned silversmithing here again, and he carried a load of gold and silver to make a living. I often I don’t recognize him anymore, I bought him a few sprigs of flowers and emeralds, he asked my mother to come, and I said I went to burn paper on the grave.”

Yue Niang said: "Why don't you teach him to wait for me to come home?"

Xue'e said: "I always teach him to come tomorrow."

Sitting and talking, I saw the nurse Ruyi stepped forward and said to Yueniang: "My brother has been here for half a day, but I just fell asleep, my mouth was cold, and the soup on my body was hot."

This month the mother of the moon panicked when she heard this, she picked up the baby on the kang, rubbed her mouth, she really broke out in a cold sweat, her whole body was hot, she scolded Ruyi: "What a whore, this is because the sedan chair has chilled the baby."

Ruyi'er said: "I'm wrapped tightly in the quilt, how can I be cold?"

Yue Niang said: "It's not like hugging him to the grave of the dead ghost to frighten him to come. Then the payment will teach you not to hug him. If you don't obey, just go hugging him like a wave."

Ruyi'er said: "Sister Zao Xiaoyu looked at it, she just hugged him to have a look and then came, how often did she scare him to come!"

Yue Niang said: "Don't talk about it, what's the matter with looking at it? But he was bluffed."

Hastily called An'er: "Hurry up and ask Mrs. Liu to go."

After a while, Liu Po ​​came.He checked his pulse, touched his body, and said, "I felt a bit cold, and I ran into an evil spirit."

I kept two doses of cinnabar pills and poured them down with ginger soup.The grandma who paid for him hugged him and slept on the hot kang until midnight. She broke out in a cold sweat before her body became cold.So Guan waited for Mrs. Liu to have tea, gave him three silver coins, and told him to come back tomorrow.The whole family was in a panic, up and down, and messed up in the middle of the night.

But he said that Laiwang still carried the burden of life the next day, and came to Ximen Qingmen, and sang with Laizhao, saying: "Yesterday Miss Snow left me some life, promised to teach me to get silver today, and then I will see my aunt." .”

Lai Zhaodao: "Go ahead and come another day. The aunt came home yesterday, and her brother was not good. She called the doctor's wife and the imperial doctor to see her, and prescribed medicine. It was a whole night of chaos. Unfortunately, today is better. It takes time to call money and money." you."

Just as I was talking, I saw Yueniang, Yulou and Xue'e sending out Mrs. Liu to the front of the gate, and saw Lai Wanger.Then Wang'er lay on the ground and kowtowed with Yueniang and Yulou.Yueniang said: "Whenever I don't see you, I won't come here for a walk."

Lai Wang'er told the story again, "It's not easy to come."

Yueniang said: "What are you afraid of, old son? Your father is gone again. Back then, it was only because of the Pan family's whore, who set fire on one end and water on the other end, and hung her good daughter-in-law to death. , There will be trouble, and I will send you away. Today is not allowed, he went there!"

Lai Wang'er said: "I can't say no, it's just that my mother understands it in her heart."

After speaking back, Yueniang asked him: "What kind of life are you selling? Take it out and see."

After picking out a few pieces of jewelry from him, I should pay him back three or two taels of silver, and I paid him out in cash.Ask him to enter the Yimen, and give Xiaoyu to fetch a pot of wine and a plate of snacks, and teach him to eat.That Xue'e pushed hard on the kitchen, and heated up a big bowl of meat and brought it out to him.When he was full with food and wine, he kowtowed and went out.Yueniang and everyone in Yulou went to the back.Xue'e talked to him quietly alone: ​​"You often come and walk, what are you afraid of! I have something to teach Lai Zhao's sister-in-law to tell you. I will wait for you in the ear room in front of the purple wall in this Yimen tomorrow evening."

The two exchanged glances, and now Wang'er knew what it meant, and said, "Is this Yimen closed at night?"

Xue'e said: "In this way, you come to Zhaowu first, and wait until late at night, step on the step stool, cross the wall, and follow the covering wall, and I will pick you up here. The two of us will meet once, and then I will tell you in detail."

Now that Wang got this remark, it was joy from the forehead, joy to the cheeks, saying goodbye to Xue'e, and going out with the burden.It's exactly: If you don't get the house god, you can't get the house ghost.There are poems to prove it: Leaning on the door when you have nothing to do when you are free, and you meet the old days of love by chance.I dare not speak loudly to people, so I send a few glances.

Here, Wang'er comes home happily, and has nothing to say all night.On the next day, I didn't come out to sell my life without carrying the burden, and walked slowly to the head of Ximen Qingmen, waiting for Laizhao to come out and sing with him.Then Lai Zhao said, "Brother Wang is so rare, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Lai Wang'er smiled and said, "It's not that I won't come either. Miss Snow wants me some money for living, just beg for it."

Lai Zhao let Lai Wang'er into the room to sit down.Lai Wang'er said, "Why didn't my sister-in-law disappear?"

Lai Zhao said, "Your sister-in-law will cook later today."

Then Lai Wang'er took out a tael of silver, handed it to Laizhao, and said, "Bring this silver to a pot of wine, and eat with my brother and sister-in-law."

Lai Zhao said, "Why waste so much?"

That is to say, he called his son Tie Banger to come over.The iron rod hung his head up——15 years old, he took out the jug and poured a large amount of wine, which made him call Yizhang Qing from behind.After a while, Yi Zhangqing covered a tin pot with hot rice, a large bowl of miscellaneous boiled rice, and two plates of vegetables, and said, "Okay, Wang Guaner is here."

Laizhao then took out the silver and Yizhangqing to look at it, and said, "Brother spends money, we want to make a pot of wine for two."

Yizhangqing said with a smile: "How can you make it happen if you suffer without merit?"

On one side is a Kang table for Lai Wang to sit on.Put down the wine and dishes, and pour the wine.Lai Wang'er tilted his head first, and handed it to Lai Zhao, and then passed one to Yizhangqing, singing deeply, saying: "I have never seen my brother and sister-in-law, this drink is filial to my brother and sister-in-law."

Yizhang Qing said: "Brother and sister-in-law don't know how to eat wine and meat! Don't tell lies to the real person. The snow girl in the inside has already asked me to know me yesterday. The old love between you two keeps going. Please ask me every couple of mouths like this. Be considerate of you. Don't push it in your sleep and dream. If you want to know the way down the mountain, you have to ask someone who has been there. If you meet in Hong Kong and have something to come out, don't eat it alone. You have to teach me to sip some juice. I will do it for you. There are many benefits."

Then Laiwang knelt down and said, "I only hope that my brother and sister-in-law are well-rounded, and I don't dare to forget."

After finishing speaking, I ate the wine once.Yizhangqing went back and answered with Xue'e, saying to him that it was agreed to come at night and hide in Zhao's house. At night, the Yimen door was closed, and the people behind rested and crossed the wall to pick things up.There are poems to prove: retribution is selfless, and the influence is similar.You need to know the cause of misfortune and good fortune, but look at what you do.

Now that Laiwang got what he said, when he came home, before it was too late, he came to Zhao's house and had a drink with him.At a later time, no one even noticed that the waiting door was closed, and the Yimen door behind was fastened. The rest of the family was settled, and each other had a secret sign, only listening to Xue'e coughing inside the wall.Now Wang'er stepped on the step stool and climbed over the white wall in the dark, Xue'e used the stool to follow.The two are at the place where the saddles are piled up in the west ear room, and the two embrace each other, making a cloud and rain together.They are both widows and widows, and their desires are like fire.It turns out that Wang'er's spear is strong, and he tried his best to get it for a while, and he was very happy and vented.After finishing the work, Xue'e handed him a bag of gold and silver jewelry, a few taels of silver, and two pieces of clothes, and distributed: "Come back tomorrow evening, I have some things for you. Find a place to live outside. In the future If the family can't live well, why don't we go out quietly with you, find a house outside, and become a couple. You know how to bank, so you can't live well? "

Lai Wang'er said: "Now, in Ximi Lane outside the east gate, there is my aunt, Mrs. Qu, who is famous for giving birth. There are winding alleys in your place, so I hide from my eyes. Let's go there. See you later. If there is no movement, I will take you to the home of your origin, and buy a few acres of land to plant."

Two discussions have been made.Now Lai Wang bid farewell to Xue'e, and still climbed over the wall and came to Zhao's house.Wait until dawn, open the door, and go out.At dusk, he came to the door again and walked into Zhao's house.Wan Xi still jumped over the wall, two officers.Day and night, not only for one day, but also many small and soft things, gold and silver utensils, clothes and the like were stolen.Laizhao and his wife also have to draw a lot of fat, so there is no need to elaborate.

One day, Yueniang was upset when she saw Brother Xiao's flowers blooming, so she went to bed early.The maid Zhongqiu'er in Xue'e's room was originally envoyed by the eldest sister. Because Yuan Xiaoer in Li Jiaoer's room was taken by Jingji, Yueniang gave Zhongqiu'er and Xue'e to serve the eldest sister.On that day, Xue'e sent Zhongqiu'er to sleep, packed a large bag of hairpins in the room, put them in a box, covered her head with a handkerchief, and carried her clothes with her. It was agreed that Lai Wang'er would wait in Laizhao's room. to go.Lai Zhao then said, "You're gone, I'll guard the gate and keep the water ducks out! If Madam knows, why don't you ask me for someone? Why don't you break some tiles every time you go up to the room, and there are still traces."

Lai Wang'er said: "My brother is also right."

Xue'e also left a silver folding bowl, a gold earring, a green silk jacket, and a yellow silk skirt, and thanked him both.Wait until the fifth watch drum, when the moon is dark, pick up from the next room.Laizhao and his wife sifted two more bells of warm wine and ate it with Laiwang and Xue'e, saying, "It's easy to go after eating, so you can be more courageous on the road."

At five o'clock, each of them took a stick of incense, carried a ladder, and sent two of them up to the house, breaking many tiles on the house step by step.When he got to the eaves, the people on the street hadn't walked yet. Hearing the sound of the police, Wang'er jumped down first, but then she taught Xue'e to hold him on the shoulders and hug him down.The two walked forward and reached the crossroads. They were stopped by the police and asked, "Where are the men and women going?"

Xue'e panicked.Now Wang'er didn't rush, flicked the official incense in his hand, and said: "I am a husband and wife. I went to burn incense in the Yue Temple outside the city. I got up early. Don't blame me, sir."

The man asked, "What's in the bag?"

Lai Wang'er said, "It's a joss stick paper horse."

The man said: "It's a good thing for the couple to burn incense in the Yue Temple, so go quickly."

With a cry of desperation, Wang'er pulled Xue'e forward and flew away.When we got to the bottom of the city, the city gate opened.Beat people and go out of the city, and turn a few streets and alleys.

It turns out that Ximi Lane is in a secluded place, and there are not many families living there, all of which are low-rise buildings.When I arrived at Grandma Qu's house, Grandma Qu hadn't opened the door yet.After calling for a long time, Grandma Qu got up and opened the door, and saw that Lai Wang'er had brought a woman.It turned out that Lai Wanger's surname was Zheng, and his first name was Zheng Wang. He said, "This woman is my new wife and child. My aunt has a house here, and I will borrow one for a while, and then look for a house."

Give grandma Qu two or three taels of silver and teach me to buy firewood and rice.Grandma Qu got the silver and had to stay.His son, Qu Dang, saw Zheng Wang and his wife carrying a lot of gold and silver jewelry. When he saw money at night, he dug open the door and stole it out to play with money. See the officer.Lizhi County saw that it was a thief's stolen goods, and when the stolen goods were found, he sent people to escort Qu Dang to his home, and tied Zheng Wang and Sun Xue'e with a rope.That Xue'e's face was sallow and seemed to be yellow, and she changed into light clothes, wearing veil, and took off all the rings on her hands, and sent the gentleman away, and escorted her to see the official.Immediately, people all over the street were watching, and some of them recognized it, saying that it was the young wife of Ximen Qing's family. Now this young servant who came out came to Wang'er - changed her name to Zheng Wang, committed adultery, stole property and lived outside.He was touched by this Qu Dang again, and now the matter was discovered by the official.At the moment, ten people will be passed on to the next one, and ten people will be passed on to a hundred people. The people on the road seem to fly.

Since Xue'e left at Yueniang's house, Zhongqiu'er in the room saw that the soft jewelry in the box was gone, and the clothes were thrown in a mess, so she reported it to Yueniang.Yue Niang was taken aback, and asked Zhong Qiu'er: "You slept with him and left, don't you know?"

Zhongqiu'er said, "He's going to sneak out late in the evening and return in half a day. I don't know the details."

Yueniang asked Laizhao again: "You guard the gate, why don't you know when people go out?"

Lai Zhao said, "The gate is locked every day, so he will fly out!"

Later, when he saw that there were many broken tiles on the room, he knew that he had left the room.He didn't dare to make people visit him, so he had to bear with it.I didn't want the county magistrate to ask about this matter in court, so I clamped Qu Dang first, and chased out four pieces of gold heads, three pieces of silver jewelry, a pair of gold rings, two silver bells, five taels of broken silver, and two pieces of clothes. , a handkerchief, and a box.Under the name of Zheng Wang, 30 taels of silver, a pair of gold bowls and hairpins, a piece of golden fairy, and four rings were recovered.Under the name of Xiang Xue'e, a gold heart, a pair of silver bracelets, five pairs of gold buttons, four pairs of silver hairpins, and a bag of broken silver were recovered.Under the name of Grandma Qu, she chased out silver three liang.In the future, Wanger asked the imitation slaves and maidservants to steal property because of rape. Qu Dang was charged with theft, both of which were miscellaneous crimes of death.Xue'e's sun family is Ximen Qing's concubine, and she has a fight with Grandma Qu, who is now an official.Grandma Qu confessed and let go.Xue'e ordered the county to send people to Ximen Qing's house to teach people to hand over the collar to collect Sun's family.Then Wu Yueniang called Uncle Wu to discuss: "I've made a fool of myself, why did I bring you here for no reason? Nothing tarnished the family, and pretended to be dead."

Sent the policeman's money, and returned to the county magistrate.The county magistrate arrested the official matchmaker, who was an official to argue and sell.

But she said that in the garrison mansion, Chunmei inquired and found out that Sun Xue'e from Ximenqing's family was like this, was abducted by Lai Wanger, stole property and lived outside, the incident happened to the officials, and now the officials sell it.When Chunmei heard this, she wanted to buy him to cook at home, and to slap him in order to avenge her past.Said to the guard: "Xue'e is good at cooking, and can make good tea, rice and soup. I bought it to serve at home."

This defense is short of Zhang Sheng and Li An.Take a post and tell the county magistrate.The county magistrate wants to make points for himself, only eight liang of silver is the official price.After paying the money, I took it to the mansion, first met the eldest grandma and the second grandma Sun, and then came to see Chunmei in the room.Chunmei was in the room threading gold on the bed, in the brocade tent, before getting up.The servant girls under her command lead Xue'e to meet her.Seeing that it was Chunmei, Xue'e couldn't help bowing her head to see her.Looking up and down, he kowtowed four heads.This Chunmei stared at her, and called the daughter-in-law of Jiang Dangzhi's family to come up, "Take this bitch up with her bun, strip off the top cover of her clothes, put her in the kitchen, and cook with me. "

After hearing this, Xue'e secretly complained.Since ancient times, the wall boards have been turned up and down, but the rice sweeper has been the warehouseman.Since you are under his eaves, how dare you not bow your head?At this point, Sun Xue'e had no choice but to take off her bun, changed into a colorful dress, and went down to the kitchen with a sad face.There are poems as proof: Budai monk went to Mingzhou, and he traveled everywhere with his stick and straw shoes.Forgive your incarnations of tens of billions, and you still have sorrows all over your body.
