Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 20
One day, the Ministry of Officials put up a list, and Tang Bi awarded Huzhou Recorder to join the army.This Huzhou, also in the south, is a place for familiar travel, and Tang Bi is also very happy.When there is an edict, pack your luggage and hire a boat to leave Beijing.When I went to Tongjin, I met a group of strong men.Since ancient times, the Taoists have been slow to hide and teach thieves, just for the 30 yuan, they brought it around, exposed the villain's eyes, aroused greed, and ganged up to do this.This group of strong men followed from outside the capital to Tongjin, secretly communicated with the boatman, waited for the night to be quiet, and started together.It is also Tang Bi's life that should not be lost. He was boarding the east on the bow of the boat. Seeing that the momentum was not good, he jumped into the water and went ashore to escape for his life.I only heard that this gang of strong men was in a mess, and they even pushed the boat.Cangtou's life is also unknown.All the luggage in the boat was robbed, leaving nothing but the body.Exactly: the leak in the house was hit by continuous rain all night, and the ship was late and got the headwind again!The 30 yuan and luggage are still trivial matters.But the records of previous appointments and the edict, the license to take office, have also been lost, and even the official can't do it.

At that time, Tang Bi really had no way to control the sky and no way to sue the land.Think about it: "I was so lucky when I was so lucky, and I couldn't do anything! If you want to go back to your hometown, what face do you have? If you want to go to the capital again, you can complain to the official office, but you don't have a penny by your side. How can you be better? Here again Borrowing money from an acquaintance, is it impossible to beg for money?" Wanting to throw himself into the river to die, he thought again: "Is this the end result?" Sitting by the side of the road, thinking and crying, crying and thinking, counting left and right, there is nothing to do , Crying from midnight until dawn.I was so happy that I came back from a desperate situation, and I met an old man who came with a staff and asked, "Why are the officials weeping?" Tang Bi told him about being robbed when he went to office.The old man said: "It turned out to be an adult, I'm disrespectful. It's not far away, please take that step." The old man led Tang Bi to make an appointment for a mile, arrived at home, and repeated the ceremony.The old man said: "The old man's surname is Su, and his son's name is Su Fenghua. I see that he is the captain of Wuyuan County in Huzhou, and he is one of my lord's subordinates. My lord is going to Beijing, and the old man would like to donate less money to the axe." One set was exchanged with Tang Bi; 20 taels of platinum were offered, and the right was used as travel expenses.

Tang Bi thanked him again and again, said goodbye to Mr. Su, and went on the road alone, and then settled down in the old store in the capital.The owner of the store heard that he suffered a loss on the road, so he was miserable.When Tang Bi went to the official department, he expressed his sorrow.The official way of the Ministry of Officials is that the edicts and documents are empty, without nose, so it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the false.After asking for five days in a row, it was not accurate.The money around me is all spent in the Yamen.When I got back to the store, I could only cry bitterly, and sat with tears in my eyes wondering.I saw a person outside, about half an old age, wearing a soft-winged gauze hat on his head, wearing a purple trousers, and wearing soap boots, looking like a magistrate, walking into the shop.When I met Tang Bi, I made a compilation, sat across from each other, and asked, "Where is your family? What do you do here?" Tang Bi said, "It's okay for officials not to ask. When they ask me, teach me that I can't express my pain for a while! "He continued to speak, and burst into tears.Zishan Humanity said: "What's not beautiful about respect? You can talk about it in detail, or you can discuss it together." Tang Bi said: "A certain surname is Tang, surname Bi, from Wanquan County, Jinzhou. I recently joined the army in Huzhou. When I arrived at Tongjin, I was suddenly robbed by thieves, and all my resources and axes were gone. I lost all my previous documents and edicts, so it is difficult to do anything." Zishan said: "Being robbed on the way is not a matter of your step. Why don't you tell the officials about this situation? Ministry, tell me again, what's the hindrance?" Tang Bidao: "I begged several times, but I didn't get mercy, taught me to live in a dilemma, and there was no way to plead." Zishan said: "Duke Pei Jin in the dynasty, every time he was sympathetic, he was extremely compassionate. Willing to deal with those who are in trouble. Why don't you go and ask him to see him?" Tang Bi wept even more when he heard about it: "Don't the officials mention the word 'Pei Jin Gong', which makes a certain heart feel broken." And did you say that?" Tang Bi said: "A certain young man made a marriage arrangement, but he was not married because he had served in the south for many times. However, he was snatched away by the magistrate and county Yin Yong, and they made up a group of female music, dedicated to the Duke of Jin, and made a certain middle-aged man without a house. Although this matter is not up to the Duke of Jin, but the Duke of Jin was flattered by others, so that the government and the county rushed to donate it first. It is clear that he broke up my husband and wife. How can I bear to see him today?" The man in Zishan asked: "It's decided with one step. What is the name of the room? What was the appointment at the beginning?" Tang Bidao: "The surname is Huang, the name is Xiao'e, and the betrothed jade is exquisite. You can see it there." In the inner room, you should visit with your feet." Tang Bi said: "Once the Houmen enter, there will be no time to see each other again. I hope the officials will pass on a message for me so that he knows what is on my mind, and he will die with peace." Zishan said: " Tomorrow at this time, there will be good news." After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and walked out the door.

Tang Bi changed his mind and regretted: "The purple shirt with the teeth must be a close friend of the Duke of Jin, who sent him out to investigate. I just said a few words against him, and I have a lot of complaints. If I talk about it with Jin You know, if you provoke him, it will be a disaster!" My heart was so uneasy that I didn't close my eyes all night.At dawn, after washing and washing, I went to Pei's mansion to have a look.I only heard that Mr. Ling stayed in the mansion on leave and did not go out of the hall. Even so, there were still many documents and exchanges, and he was constantly running inside and outside.I just didn't see the man in purple shirt yesterday.After waiting for a long time, I went back to the store to have some lunch, and came to wait again, but there was no movement.Looking at the night, it can be seen that the man in Zishan has broken his promise.After sighing a few times, he returned to the shop desolately.Fang was about to light the lamp, when he saw two people outside, who seemed to be dressed up by Ling Shi, hurried into the shop and asked, "Which one is Tang Bi joining the army?"The owner of the inn came up and asked, "Who are you two?" The two men replied, "We are hall officials in Pei's mansion. We are ordered by your order to invite Tang Canjun to speak at the mansion." The innkeeper pointed out: "This That's it." Tang Bi had to come out to meet each other, and said: "I have never communicated with Ling Gong, why did I meet you? And wearing underwear, how dare you be abrupt!" The hall official said: "Ling Gongli, wait, join the army. Push and block." Holding on to the left and right armpits, Fei Ye seemed to run into the mansion.When I arrived at the hall, I was taught to "join the army and sit less, and let someone wait to report to the Duke, but came to invite him."Two hall officials went in.Not long after, I heard the galloping out, and said: "Your Majesty is on leave, please go in and meet me." All the way around the corner, all the candles were brightly lit, shining like the day.Two hall officials led the way back and forth, and when they arrived in a small hall, they saw two rows of gauze lamps arranged, and the male kerchiefs were worn casually, standing in front of them.Tang Bi hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, sweating profusely, not daring to look up.Ling Gong Chuan ordered to help him up and said, "private rooms extend one after another, why bother to be polite?" He taught him to sit.Tang Biqian gave way for a while, and sat on the side, peeking at Ling Gong, who was the man in purple shirt he met in the store yesterday, becoming more frightened, sweating, lowering his brows, not daring to breathe.

It turns out that Mr. Pei Ling often plays outside privately in his spare time. He came to the shop by chance yesterday and met Tang Bi.When I went back to the mansion, I looked up the name of "Huang Xiao'e" and called to meet him.When the Duke asked about its origin, he spoke the same as Tang Bi; when he asked him to look at the exquisite jade, he was tightly wrapped around his arm.Linggong was very sympathetic and asked: "Your husband is here, would you like to see him?" Xiao'e said with tears: "Your beauty is unlucky, and you will never be separated forever. Whether you see or not, the right lies with Linggong, and the concubine dares to be self-sufficient." Ling Gong nodded and taught him to go.Secretly distributed to the waiting officials in the hall, and prepared thousands of clothes for the servants; he also told the empty head, filled in Tang Bi's name, and sent people to the Ministry of Officials to check his previous resume and the newly awarded Huzhou military diploma, so that he could resupply.Tang Bi was invited to the mansion only when everything was complete.Tang Bi was full of panic, but how could he know that Linggong was full of kindness?
On the same day, Ling talked publicly: "I saw what I said yesterday, and I sincerely feel sorry for it. I can't put an end to the legacy, so that I can enjoy the music for a long time, and this is my crime." Upside down. Offended by the language yesterday, I knew I was guilty of death, but I am a lord!" Ling Gong asked: "Today is quite auspicious, the old man is the main marriage, so I will marry my step. Bo You has a thousand money to help, and I will talk about the meaning of redemption. After getting married, Yu Fei can take up the post." Tang Bi just thanked him, and didn't dare to ask about the post.I could only hear the loud music in the house, several pairs of red lights, a group of girl bands leading the way, a few guards and adoptive mothers, surrounded by the flowery and jade-like Huang Xiao'e.Tang Bi wanted to escape in a panic.The old lady said: "Two newcomers, please greet me here." The adoptive mother laid down the red blanket, Huang Xiaoe and Tang Bi stood up as a pair, bowed up four times, and ordered the Duke to bow beside him.A long time ago, Jianyu was outside the hall, serving Xiao'e Dengyu, and carried them all the way to the shop.Order the public to pay Tang Bi: "Return to the journey quickly, don't miss the good time." Tang Bi ran back to the shop, only to hear people talking.When I looked up, I saw that there were boxes full of silk and money.It was the two hall officials who were guarding at the beginning, waiting for Tang Bi to arrive and deliver it in person.There is another small box, which was sealed by the father-in-law.When it was disassembled and looked at, it was an official edict, and Huzhou Sihu was reinstated to join the army.Tang Bi was overjoyed, and that night she and Huang Xiao'e were in the shop, making candles for the wedding.This night of fun is more self-satisfied than that of ordinary married couples.It's exactly: it's transported to Lei Hongjian's stele, and when the wind comes, it's sent to Tengwang Pavilion.At present, marriage and eunuchs are happy, not as bad as before.Tang Bi was married and eunuch at this time, and he had a thousand-year-old fortune. He was clearly a bitter ghost in the 33th hell, and he had gone straight to the [-]rd day.If it weren't for Pei Linggong's benevolence and generosity, how could he be willing to deal with people to be very satisfied?

The next day, Tang Bi went to Pei's mansion to pay his respects.The Lord ordered the doorman to resign in advance: "I will not trouble you." Tang Bi went back to the apartment, readjusted the crown and belt, and then packed the suit.They bought a few servants in Beijing to follow them, and the couple went back to their hometown and met their father-in-law, Huang Taixue.It's like spring on a dead tree, and the broken string continues again, with infinite joy.A few days later, the couple went to Huzhou to take up their posts.Thanks to Mr. Pei Linggong, he carved agarwood into a small statue and prayed day and night, wishing his longevity to last forever.Later, Duke Pei Ling passed his [-]th birthday, and his descendants multiplied. Everyone thought it was due to Yin virtue.The poem goes: No room, no official, nothing to talk about, and Lai Hongen who deals with good things.People can save their virtues every step of the way, and their blessings will continue to reach their children and grandchildren.
