Second Continuation of Golden Plum

Chapter 9

The female passenger of the military is happy to form an alliance under the forest. The literary officer pities the orphans and widows and sends charcoal in the snow. The poem says: Spring grass grows in the Golden Valley Garden, and the pool and pavilion were flat in those days.

Why come Ruyan looking for a Chinese house, it seems that there are wandering warblers calling for painting couplets.

The guest sings and sings under the bright moon, the soldiers are remnants of rubble and wild smoke.

The palaces of the Qin Dynasty and the palaces of the Han Dynasty are all turned into soil, and the flowing water keeps flowing year after year.

It is said that although Master Li and all Le Ji were expelled from the city, there are seven battalions and five military guards in Bianjing City. Since the founding of the Great Song Taizu, they have enjoyed a peaceful world for 200 years. It goes without saying that it is rich and luxurious.Not to mention civil service, it is the military officers of the Beijing camp, and there are no border guards and robbers. horse.Those female relatives, especially those with high buns and inner makeup, are clearly from good families, but they are dressed like prostitutes.Even a little girl can learn a few pretty steps, with tall arms, showing off in front of others, and is used to being extravagant and promiscuous.

There is Commander Bao and Bian Qianhu, both of whom live in Weili, and a group of military officers like Li Tuanlian, Zhang Dutong, and Song Dujian are all in the same club, with 50 taels of silver per person.And when it’s time for the Fairy Fairy: When it’s Wuxiao, tie up the little boy, dress up in all kinds of stories, tie up a two-foot-high pole, play on the top, and use beautiful jewelry to make up the appearance of a fairy in the sky. Two or three hundred teams parade through the street playing and beating together. Tens of thousands of scholars and women in the city compete to see it.This will also cost tens of thousands of silver.There are also Aoshan Club, Tug-of-War Show, and Bianhe Dragon Boat Club.There is everything in the five directions of the capital.Commander Na Bao and Bian Qianhu are both wealthy families. They are close relatives. They are both in their thirties and have never had children. They often say: "We two will have children in the future, and we will be married." The lady laughed.

Women's families also have a meeting, which is a meeting for pilgrimage to the Empress Temple on Mount Tai on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.This temple is located in the north of the capital. There are 72 divisions of Taiyue Tianqi, the main hall archway, and the surrounding corridors. It was built by imperial edict. of.That year, Mrs. Bao Commander, Mrs. Bian Qianhu, and this group of attendees all made an appointment to go to the temple to offer incense.After entering the incense, each family brought a wine box, and in the big forest along the Bianhe River in front of the temple, they spread felt strips and set up a pergola to enjoy themselves while eating wine.There are also those who sing a cappella, those who play the flute, and those who show off on horseback. The forest is full of men and women.Because the lady of Bian Qianhu was young and stubborn, she often asked Bao to command her to be her in-laws.

It turned out that the two were pregnant.All the women knew about it, and they all laughed and said, "You two should cut off your skirts today." The lady of Dutong, who was 45 years old, was also a prostitute, and said, "I am a matchmaker." A glass of wine was poured in front of the man, and the lapel was cut off.Since then, they have been called in-laws.When Rixi went home, Mrs. Zhang Dutong was in a big sedan chair, led by the military prison with a stick, and the rest went back in small sedan chairs.When I got home, I talked to my husband.Later, the two met and thanked each other, and they were truly called in-laws.

When it was October, Mr. Commander Bao had a daughter, born in August, named Dangui.Two months later, Bian Qianhu also gave birth to a daughter, named Xiangyu.Both families had daughters, they felt very bored, and they both laughed and said nothing.Seeing that the two families are both girls, these ladies said: "When the two of them grow up, they will become sisters, and they will be their own." Unconsciously, after the first year of life, they often hold their daughters together to play, and the two families It is also common for people to call each other father and mother regardless of each other.Later, the Bao family made a promise to Commander Hou's family at Wanhua, and the Bian family Qiuying made a promise to Wang Qianhu's family.Unconsciously, the sun and the moon are flying like a shuttle, and I am six or seven years old.The two girls were just average in appearance, and no one didn't love them.They often play in a group, and cuddle up and face each other from the arms, and they don't look like two families.

It is:

The two flying butterflies are chasing each other, and the twins are originally twins.

Not to mention.

Since ancient times, there has been chaos in the long-term governance, and there has been great joy and sorrow.This Dajin started a border war because of his childhood. He broke into the border in the ninth year of Xuanhe and snatched it.Tong Guan couldn't hide it, so he had to read a book, and selected the heroes of the Beijing camp, and asked these military officials who were good at riding and shooting to be transferred to the border area of ​​Hebei for defense.Let Commander Bao be transferred to Huaizhou, and Bian Qianhu to be transferred to Zhending.Each of the two families took their families with them and came to work with the camp. When they parted, only two little girls couldn't cry.Everyone looked at it and said: "This girl is not accidental, it seems like she was born all the way."

The mandarin ducks on the lake are also destined, and they come and go before the waves.

There is no reason to go to Shatou, and once they fly apart, they will go to different places.

It turns out that these causes and effects are all a little love and hatred, and life and death do not change.Because Shuihongxiuxie and Hongxiang were reincarnated together, they were in love with each other in the previous life, so they were reborn in the same place, and they were like a family since they were young.This part of the round will be answered later, so let's not talk about it now.

But she said that Chu Yunniang had suffered a lawsuit for nothing, sold all her family property, and left a few taels of silver. In less than half a year, she also used Jing Zhao's second superintendent's family to repair the house, and kept getting people to leave the house. Invite customers to open a shop.Chu Yunniang thought to herself, "Where are you going to live? You have to rent a house with money." She was so miserable.Look at the high-rise buildings and the flower walls of the Fendong. When the husband was there, the beautiful wives and concubines, singing and dancing, playing bombs, it was so lively, a house was so noisy that it was impossible to live in it.How can a widow live now with a five or six-year-old child?When I went to the Tortoiseshell Pavilion, the cave, and Shishanzi again, I saw the Taihu Stone Peony Terrace, and the flowers were all withered.The grape trellis had fallen down for a long time, the ground was full of broken tiles, and the long basil and weeds were half a foot deep. Those partitions and round windows were all torn down and burned.Walked back and forth, crying loudly.Xizhu led Brother Hui to eat the broom vegetables.Brother Hui only fluttered butterflies and played with ant wax in the grass on the platform, so he knew that his prosperous old place had completely moved, and Yingyan Pavilion didn't recognize anyone.

Yun Niang cried for a while.When the old horse came in, seeing Yunniang's tearful eyes, he persuaded, "In this troubled world, orphans and widows live in this big house. It's empty. It's better to find a small house to live in. It saves money. In my West Alley , Liu Xueguan’s house is an idle house, with three halls, one east kitchen, two cottages facing the street, and one for the passageway. It’s a small courtyard, with two small screen walls and a good well. It’s also a provincial festival. Guan Laoyu lived in the house, and went back to the village because of the inconvenience in the city. It is eight qian silver per month. It is next to the wall with Sister Yu’s house, and the kitchen stove and kang are ready-made." Yunniang heard that, and said: "Mother Ma, please You just go and have a look, go and set up a house with Taiding, and pay two taels of silver to settle it. I'll see if I have a good time and move there. What are you in love with here. It's just two broken pots and two broken beds. It doesn't take a few people to move out." After finishing speaking, old Ma Tai decided to go.

After a while, Taiding came back and said, "It's in Xidoufu Lane. It's a good house. When I met Liu Xueguan at his house, the scholar said a lot of good things. He just said that he doesn't want the rent. After talking for a while, he gave up a little. I only made a contract of eight taels of silver. I also rewarded me with wine and food before I came." I took the calendar and found that it was September [-]th when I moved to Andumo.

On that day, I first called two idlers to pick out old beds, benches, tables, broken cabinets, pots and pans, brooms, bowls, etc., and took them with sporadic and fine beads.Chu Yunniang had to go there in a small sedan chair, to be more respectable.After renting for half a day, he must ask for five silver coins, but he can't afford it.When it was dark, Yunniang and Lao Ma came over, and then Tai Ding and Tu Benchi told the Zhao family to know.

That day, Deng San's house had two boxes of snacks, one box of cakes, and one box of candied dates. Because Yunniang was fasting, she didn't dare to buy meat, so Deng San's wife came to see.It was Sister Yu, who came from the west of the wall and said, "My aunt came to live here, and she forced her to live in an empty house. Now Fan Zhaoxuan's family has moved out more. It was burned to pieces, and they were terrified to live in." After a while, Liu Xueguan asked the housekeeper to ask, and sent a bucket of white noodles, two live chickens and a piece of meat to the future.Yunniang was very sorry, and rewarded the housekeeper with three hundred copper coins, so Taiding thanked her.Yun Niang said: "We have not had much contact with him, and there are still such good people."

At that time, people were full of scorn, but today there is still courtesy and friendship.

There is still a fire to burn the cold stove, so we know that the ancient way has not completely disappeared.

It turns out that to repay virtue with virtue, if a person does something good, he will receive a good reward;At the beginning, Nangong Ji Zeng Zhou Liu was in dire straits as an official, because of this good fate.

At the end of the year, Taiding's young servant was unable to go out because of a pinched leg and a sore.Suddenly it snowed heavily, more than a foot deep overnight, and the city was full of fireworks.After the chaos, whose family is rich.Yunniang got up, and took the broom and beads to remove the snow.Look at the lack of rice and no firewood on the stove, Brother Hui just cried without lighting the fire, thinking of the red stove warm pavilion, lamb with fine wine, wearing sable fur, and eating delicious food, it was not enough to live such a life back then, but today’s A bite of good food for this child is also ticked.Thinking in my heart, I was really panicked.I had to take an old silk jacket and send fine pearls to the pawn shop to buy rice on the street for a thousand coins.It was only [-] yuan.After a while, Xizhu came back with snow all over her head. She made a small bag containing rice and tied charcoal with a straw rope. She bought four big sesame cakes and put them on the table. Xizhu went to dry the clothes in front of the stove.Yunniang went down and lit charcoal to bake brother Hui's coat, while baking sesame seed cakes.Xizhu just went to plant rice, and there was no one to sell water, so she had to sweep snow for cooking.Thinking about when Nangongji was there, that year when he was sweeping snow and cooking tea, his wife and concubines had the joy of sitting around the stove, he sighed a long time and burst into tears.

There is a single-dao rich family carpe bliss, named "Qinyuanchun":
How luxurious is the red furnace in the warm pavilion and the bamboo and bamboo in the ground.Zhengtong is full of clouds, Qiongyao is finely cut, silver makeup and jade are built, and there are 10 homes.Biwan cooks tea, Jinbei Duqu, milky lamb tastes better.With red sleeves, leaning drunkenly around the screen, smelling plum blossoms.

Going up the tower and looking at Guicha in the distance, the willows in the fishing village on the river are half inclined.Seeing that the firewood door is quietly hidden, a dog barks, the isolated village is left in the cold, and the crows return to it for a while.The mouth is ashes, the cow clothes are cold, the city is far away, the money is empty, and the wine is not on credit.Should be read, Baqiao poets, donkey back life.

This poem says that the joys and sorrows of life are different, and the situation is different.That is to say, when a rich family sees this snow, how much happiness is added.Wearing fox fur and mink hat, burning animal charcoal to smoke, open the clay head bamboo leaf wine from the next year, and admire the plum blossoms in the pot in front of the window.Or learn from a Taoist bachelor, sweeping snow and cooking tea; or learn from a party Taiwei, pouring lightly and singing in a low voice.Call two confidantes and fast friends to join the poem, and the proud beauty will sing; look at the fine feathers of the goose, and the flat tiles of mandarin ducks.Shouting and drinking, I'm afraid the sky will be sunny and the snow will disappear and the mud will be slippery, which is disappointing.How do you know that the poor in the mountains and the widows in the poor villages have no salary to cook and no rice in the urn, and suddenly the door is blocked by heavy snow, and there is no place to ask for a fire. They are cold, covered with a broken reed mat, and their children cry.The neighbor's house couldn't borrow a handful of rice, and couldn't get out. There was a fire roasting cow dung at the door of the stove, and the house was filled with stinky smoke.He looked very annoyed at whether it was sunny or not.

Chu Yunniang passed the good snow in the front first, but today she passed the bad snow in the back, so she shed tears.It has always been said that it is better to be poor first and then rich, and it is sad to be rich first and then poor.Yunniang watched Brother Hui eat the cold pancakes, boiled some two cabbages in thin soup without oil, and put it down after eating a bowl.Thinking about my own life, I said: "I listen to Buddhism all day long, saying that the prosperity is fake, and you have to practice hard to achieve enlightenment. Today, I can't bear this bit of suffering, and I still have an unrelenting heart. Guarding this child, eating a bowl of coarse rice is enough." With just this thought, he came back to his mind, went to burn incense in front of the Buddha, took the string of counting beads sent by Aunt Cen, and sat and recited the Buddha's name.If I persuade myself, I won't be annoyed.

Yunniang is a good person who has always survived from a desperate situation and has her own way of life.It had snowed for two days, and the firewood and rice were almost exhausted. When I went there to arrange the entrance, I saw only one person, poking his head in the second gate. Taiding recognized it as the schoolboy of Liu Xueguan's family, and asked, "What are you here for?"After a while, I took a load of charcoal, a bottle of wine, two plates of dried noodles, and a bucket of millet—Ms. Zhi Chu had a vegetarian meal, and said, "My thanks to Mrs. Chu, this is a gift from my eldest mother. There is no fire here. There is one more thing, wait for Tianqing to see for herself, and I have something to say." Seeing Xuetian sending charcoal, Yunniang was very grateful, and hoped that Taiding would accept it.He didn't have any money to reward him, so he said: "Xizhu, you pour a bottle of wine and heat it up. Go eat He Taiding, there is no one at home to drink wine." The man couldn't stop and ran away.Yunniang said: "His father is in Japan, people come and go, good wine and good meat, I don't know how many people he has raised, and I haven't seen anyone asking questions. A Liu Xueguan came out of there, it's not unusual!"

When it was sunny, Mrs. Liu Xueguan came in a sedan chair, led a girl, and locked a leather case.Went in first to talk, Yunniang hurriedly came out to greet her.I bowed to Yunniang and sat down on the kang.Yunniang saw Mrs. Liu Xueguan, who was about 64 or 50 years old; she was wearing a cloud satin cloak of agarwood color, a cocoon silk jacket, a moon white plain silk skirt with white dragging edges, and big cloud-headed blue satin high-soled shoes; her hair was slightly white. Sparse, two hairpins, no hairpins, and a blue silk handkerchief draped over the head.Said: "I didn't come here to take a look at these times, so I can't be free." After speaking, he called for the leather case, took out a sweat towel in his sleeve, opened it with a small key, and took out five pieces of silver, which was [-] taels. Put it on the kang.Yunniang didn't know at all, and asked, "Where is this money?" Only Mrs. Liu Xueguan said, "It was from Mr. Nangong who borrowed it when I went to Shandong to become an academic officer. The poor instructors can't get together, his master knows, he sent it from the official yesterday, and I handed it to my aunt. I should also add interest. Is it true that I have suffered so much, so I dare to take this account? Why bother? Make future debts, turn into donkeys and horses to pay back people." As he spoke, he poured ginger tea and ate.Yunniang only needs to accept half, and Mrs. Liu will agree.Yunniang had no choice but to thank again and again, and sent her out to the sedan chair.

There are poems praising Liu Xueguan for not ignoring the old debts:
The literary name of chivalry is heard all over the world, and I always write to imitate Hefen.

Su Cheyi re-stores chicken and millet, and the style of Jiangzhang is a Dian tomb.

Yinuohe has ever bullied the tomb, how can Qianjin bear Gao Wen?

Should come to form a grass title ring report, how many dogs and pigs in the world.

Liu Xueguan is a poor instructor, Nangongji died for six years, and he refused to ignore the debt of the orphan. Later, his son Liu Tiren won the first list, and his descendants were honored and honored for three generations. His good deeds?But I don't know what will be the result of Yunniang and Brother Hui in the future, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
