Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 54 Yang Siwen meets an old friend in Yanshan (1)
A night of east wind, no snow left on willow twigs.The smoke in the imperial building is warm, and it is colorful to Aoshan.Xiaogu Xiangwan, Fengchao returned to the palace for the first time.Thousands of lights, nine Qu Fengyue.

Everyone in the embroidered pavilion is frolicking, sleepy and resting.For the first test of colorful makeup, the bead curtain is half uncovered.She is shy to others, twists Yumei with her hands and says in a low voice.It's a long time to meet each other, it's the time of Shangyuan. "

This poem, named "Rumor of the Jade Girl", was written by Mr. Hu Haoran.In the reign of Emperor Daojun, during the reign of Xuanhe, the Lantern Festival was the most prosperous.Every year on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month in the Shangyuan period, a car drives to the Five Sacred Mountains to watch the Ningxiang Pond.Every time I drive out, there are two hundred pairs of red gauze and gold candle cages; on the New Year's Eve, glazed jade pillar palm fans are added, and fast travelers each hold red gauze beaded lanterns.At the end of the night, I drove into Dengshan, and the staff of the imperial chariot courtyard came to sing "Fairy with the pole" in front of the chariot.The imperial chariot rotates once, and walks upside down to watch the Dengshan Mountain. It is called "pigeon spinning", or "stepping on five flowers", and the chariot officials will be rewarded.After driving to the Xuande Building, visitors rushed to the terrace.On the [-]th, I was fortunate enough to go to the Qing Palace and return to the palace at night.On the day after Shangyuan, after breakfast, the car drove up the door and rolled up the curtain, the imperial seat was adjacent to the pavilion, and announced to the common people; those who arrived at the door first got to look up to the sky: sitting alone in a small hat and red robe, waiters on the left and right, and a deacon with a golden fan outside the curtain.After a while, the curtain will be lowered, and the music will be played, and all the surnames will enjoy the tour.Luminous lanterns and precious candles, the moonlight shines brightly and harmoniously, illuminating far and near.At the third drum, the upper floor is led halfway by the little red gauze lantern, and everyone knows that the car is returned inside.At that time, the imperial poem "Jiazhong Palace Xiaochongshan" said: "Luo Qi is fragrant and beautiful, golden lotus opens land and sea, and circles the capital. Baoyu looks around the emerald peaks and green. The east wind is strong, blowing down the stars for half a day.

Wan Jing congratulated Shengping.Walking songs are full of flowers, and the moon follows people.The sarong is a little bit brighter.Xiao Shaoyuan, Gao Yan is in Pengying. "Today, an official said that he only watched the Lantern Festival in Tokyo. Who knows that time has changed, and he lived in Yanshan to watch the Lantern Festival. What about the Yanshan Lantern Festival? Although he lives in the north, he also pays attention to the Lantern Festival. Listen to the humming of Hu Jia. Every family lights up, there should be no land golden lotus; everywhere arranges, there will be jade plums and snow willows. Xiaofan picks garlic from her temples, and Qi Po has raw green onions on her head. Who will carry a piano? Knock three stick drums. Every year, Yanshan city, such as Tokyo, is made, and it will be the next year when it is Jiyou. Back then, when Yanshan was decorated with Aoshan, Lantern Festival was also enjoyed, and scholars, bureaucrats and common people had to watch it. This official is an envoy of Su Wangfu. , playing in the imperial concubine's position; surnamed Yang, double name Siwen, ranking fifth, called Yang Wuguan. Because of the Jingkang period, he lived in Yanshan. Fortunately, he met his uncle Zhang Erguan, who opened a hotel in Yanshan. So he lived in Yan. Yang Siwen had no work to do, so he wrote letters with people in front of him every day, so he had to spend his days in a mess. Suddenly it was Lantern Festival, and everyone on the street went to watch the lanterns. My uncle also invited Siwen to watch the lanterns, and went to have fun together. Travel situation. Siwen was in a dull mood, and said to his uncle: "After seeing the Lantern Festival in Tokyo, how can I see the Lantern Festival here?My uncle will go first when he is stable, and Siwen will accompany him in a short while. "Zhang Erguan went first.

Yang Siwen stayed at dusk, hearing the noise in the street, and couldn't sit quietly, so he had to go out to watch the Yanshan Lantern Festival.But see: the lotus lantern is brilliant, and it is only suspected that half of the stars will be blown down;A round of bright moon and beautiful moon shines, half of whom are living in Beijing.See countless tourists on the street.When Siwen went to Haotian Temple, he saw 53 ginseng cast on a real gold body, and a ten-foot-long flag made of copper. On it, there was a golden book "I bestow on Haotian Mercy Zhongchan Temple".When Siwen entered the temple to see it, the two corridors of the Buddhist hall were illuminated.Xin walked to the Arhat Hall, and five hundred arhats were cast in muddy gold.Entering the Arhat Hall, there was a group of people who stood in front of the Buddha's seat and melted incense oil money, saying: "Everyone look at the lamp Tanyue, donate the money of lamp oil, and wish you a long life." Siwen listened to his voice like a Tokyoite, and asked the traveler: "See Head, where is the fairyland?" The walker replied: "A certain is a walker in the Heshayuan of Daxiangguo Temple, and now he is a walker here again. Please sit on the stool, and gossip will be fine."

Siwen sat on the stool, looking at the tourists.I saw a group of women, covering their fronts and embracing their backs, entering the Arhat Hall.A woman in the middle looks at Siwen with four eyes.Siwen saw that the woman was dressed like a Tokyoite.But see: light body, Qiushui spirit.The four-bead ring is better than the makeup of the inner family, and the word crown looks like a palace.The announcement and makeup have not been changed, and the emperor's romance still exists.Siwen recognized him as a person from his hometown, and he felt so depressed that he was so sleepy that he took a nap for a while.The traveler woke up with a cry, and when he opened his eyes, he did not see the woman.Yang Siwen sighed and said, "I'm waiting for him to come out. I'm afraid there will be relatives in the room. If we recognize each other, we will be frustrated again." He said to the traveler, "where are the women who are suitable to be admitted to the hospital?" The money has gone. Before leaving, he said, "Let's go back tonight. I'll come back tomorrow to do some good deeds. I'll recommend relatives." Don't be bored, officials. It's okay to come and meet you tomorrow." Seeing Siwen, he also gave some oil money to the traveler , resigned from the prime minister, and left the Arhat Court.Searching around the temple, I suddenly saw a small poem on the wall of the monk's hall. It was called "Lang Taosha": "Leaning on the dangerous fence all day long, it is desolate to the eye. Juyan is at the top of the tower. I can't bear to listen to the blowing horns on the top of the building. , Changchuan is covered with snow. Years have passed, thinking about the South Garden, enjoying the fun with the people in front of the Wumen Gate. There are still Xuanzheng characters in the monastery, but Aoshan is not seen." Yang Siwen left the question after reading it, feeling unhappy.When I came back to the store, I couldn't sleep all night.When I woke up at dawn, I had nothing to say that day.

At the end of the day, my uncle wanted to go to Haotian Temple to find the woman from last night.Walking to the street, crowded with people, it is lively!While walking, there was a sudden burst of thunder.Siwen was afraid of rain, so he was startled and wanted to turn back. When he looked up, he saw a bright moon in Yinhan, and thousands of lanterns were lit in Tianjie.The precious candle was burned out, and the fragrant wind was blowing on the ground. When I looked carefully, I saw people around, holding a large cart, coming from the west, and the sound of the car moved the ground.There are dozens of people following Fanguan.But see: the hall is noisy, and the road is blocked by guards of honor.Fifteen pairs of red gauzes are listed in the front to illuminate the way, and the candle flames are competing for brilliance; the two hemlines are lined with twenty golden guns with painting poles, which are used for communication.Fragrant chariots are like arrows, and attendants are like clouds.There are several maids behind the car, among them is a woman who wears purple, wears silver fish on her waist, holds a clean towel, and hugs her neck with silk.When Siwen looked carefully under the moonlight, he looked like Han Sihou's wife, sister-in-law Mrs. Zheng Yiniang, who was in charge of her elder brother Guoxin.Mrs. Zheng was originally the adopted daughter of Concubine Qiao, married to Han Zhangyi.He and Siwen are both from the same village, so they swore to be cousins, and Siwen called Yiniang his sister-in-law.Since then, we have left and never asked each other again.Seeing Siwen, the woman in purple looked at each other and dared not greet him openly.Siwen followed the car to live in Qinlou, Yanshi City, and all the cars went inside.The nobleman went upstairs, and the Fanguan sat downstairs.It turns out that the Qin Tower is the most spacious, just like the Baifan Tower in Tokyo. There are sixty seats on the upper floor, and seventy or eighty sets of Zhuo stools scattered on the lower floor.Wine was sold that night, and the hall was lively.Yang Siwen waited for the noble family to enter the wine shop, went to sit in the Qin Building, and asked to sell it to the front.The man bowed to Siwen when he saw him.Siwen helped him up and said, "Shut up." When I checked for recognition, it was Chen San'er who was sold by Baifanlou in Tokyo.Siwen was very happy, so he taught San'er to sit, but San'er dared not.Siwen said: "We are both from the capital, that is, if we meet old friends in other places, we might as well sit together." After singing, just sit down.Siwen took out five taels of silver and Guomai, and shared the payment: "Take the silver, and serve several meat and vegetable wines and dishes." Talking with San'er while eating wine.

San'er said: "Since the year of Ding Wei, he has been detained in Jinwu's house as a slave. Later, the Qin Building was built in the tripod, thinking of the old Fan Building, which was sold in the old days. It was paid [-] yuan to buy it, so it was sold here. Fortunately, I was with you. The officials are meeting." While talking, suddenly heard a group of music.Siwen said: "Where is the fun?" San'er said: "It's Shilai nobleman, the family member of the Korean lady who went upstairs to drink." Siwen asked the Korean lady about her affairs.San'er said: "This lady takes care of people very much. She often brings her family members here to drink at night and sit with her adoptive mother. San'er often goes upstairs to make offerings, and often gets money from his wife to use." Siwen went on. Ask San'er: "I met Mrs. Korea on the side of the road in Shijian. There is a woman in the house behind the car, who looks like my sister-in-law, Mrs. Zheng. I don't know if she is?" When I made offerings to the family members of the house, I saw my wife; I was afraid it was not, so I dare not recognize it." Siwen then told San'er, "I have something to bother you: when you go upstairs to make offerings to the family members of Korean ladies, you look for them. Mrs. Zheng. Be me and pass on a message: 'I'll wait downstairs for my wife to come down and ask my brother for details.'" San'er was ordered to go upstairs, and Siwen took a seat and waited.

For a while, I saw San'er going downstairs to hold his lower lip.Siwen knows the language of people in the capital, so it's all over.Siwen asked, "What's the matter?" San'er said, "I went upstairs to see Mrs. Zheng, and said, "The five senses are waiting for my wife to come down below, and ask my brother for news." Hearing this, the lady wept and said, "Uncle also Here. Pass it to the five senses, and then go downstairs in a short time, and talk to my uncle.'" Siwen thanked San'er, sent the money for the wine, and went out of Qinlou's gate, standing in suspense.

After a while, I saw only waiting for people to enter.After a while, Fanguan people came out of a car surrounded by cars.Siwen waited for the car to pass, and the family members behind also came out. They saw a woman in purple clothes wearing whitebait and wrapping around her neck. She was the sister-in-law.Siwen went forward and finished the ceremony with his sister-in-law.Then he asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you so different from my elder brother?" Mrs. Zheng burst into tears and said, "I rented a boat with my brother from the winter of Jingkang to Huaichu. When I was about to arrive in Xuyi, unfortunately, the arrow pierced through the driver's hand, and the knife hit me. Shaogong. My concubine has the worry of breaking the mirror in Lechang. Your brother is suffering from being entangled in prison and is plundered by captives. His chieftain, Saba Taiwei, forced him. I will not be humiliated. I hated my concubine for not obeying, seeing my concubine as skinny as a stick, so I married my concubine in my ancestral family, and later found out that I was a prostitute. I thought that I was an official wife and ordered an official daughter. How can I be honored to live like Su Xiaoqing? How can I be humiliated if I die like Meng Jiangnv? , hanged himself between the beams. When someone found out, he saved his concubine. Mrs. Han, the wife of Saba Taiwei, took pity on me when she heard about it. Pah. Farewell to my beloved in a hurry, I don’t know where to go. The new lover lost his voice, changed his clothes and fled at that time, and is now in Jinling, returning to his old job. Up to now four years, he has not tolerated bigamy. The concubine burns incense and refines the top, asks divination and prays for God, hope There is a way to Jinling, but there is no way out of livelihood. Today, Mrs. Korea came here for a banquet, and since she is a servant, she dare not speak for a long time. Uncle reminded me, if I meet someone from Jiangnan, I will teach you to pass on a message."

Yang Siwen wanted to ask him again later that there was a fan official in Russia who held a shovel in his hand and said to Siwen, "my servant, how dare you seduce me at night?"Seeing Siwen coming to fight, he hurried away.Those officials were too late to catch up.After walking away, covered in cold sweat, I hurried back to my uncle's inn.Seeing Siwen walking back panting, Zhang Erguan asked, "Why are you so flustered?" Siwen told the past one by one.When Zhang Erguan saw it, he sighed.Arranging three cups with Siwen, Siwen thought of his brother Han Zhongyi and his sister-in-law Mrs. Zheng, where would they be able to drink?

After the Lantern Festival in depression, it is March again.Zhang Erguan said to Siwen: "I will return after going out for two or three days, and you and I will take care of the store." Siwen asked, "Why go out?" Go to Weiyang, buy some goods and go back." Yang Siwen saw his uncle Zhang Erguan go out, bored alone, sleepy in Changchun during the day, took a walk on the street to Qinlou, and went into the building to look around for a while.But when they saw that they were sold to the front and sang, they called: "Yang Wuguan!" When Siwen looked at it, he looked familiar, but it was not Chen San.who is it?Guomai said: "Men and women in Yuxian Restaurant in Tokyo, Xiaowang. Chen San'er was called by Zuo Jinwu a while ago, and he was not allowed to come out." Siwen saw that San'er was in Qinlou, and felt more depressed, so he bought some snacks randomly.Then he asked Xiao Wang, "The last time Mrs. Korea came here to drink on the last night of Yuan Dynasty, do you know where Mrs. Korea lives?" Xiao Wang said, "men and women also asked him to come from the mansion. The way is the Queen of Tianwang Temple." Wen looked up, and there was an inscription on the wall, the ink was still wet.After reading it carefully, the title said: "Han Sihou of Changli sent Jinling by boat and passed Huangtiandang. Because of his wife Zheng's death, he wrote a poem of condolences in the boat, named "Yujie Xing": "Hehe vermilion powder more than a thousand liang, twisted one, like Guanyin .Most of them seem to be two or three points, and they pay less for Linglong's five internal organs.Waiting for the dusk, looking for the bottom of the dream, working all night long.

Where does the fragrant soul and charming soul go?The material is only on the boat.Leaning on the small gate silently, facing the torrential snow waves alone.If you will worry about tears and count them as water, how many Huang Tiandang? "

After Yang Siwen read it, he was out of his wits in horror. "The inscribing pen is my elder brother Han Sihou. Hey, my sister-in-law is gone. On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Qin Lou met me in person and talked with me. He said that he was a concubine in the wife's house in South Korea. Now she is gone. It's hard to understand." Surprised and doubted, he asked Xiao Wang: "The ink is not dry, where is the person who wrote the pen?" So I wrote it here." The one who spoke made a mistake.Entering the country on a mission, is there any reason to go out and buy wine and eat?According to "Yi Jian Zhi", the law was not established at that time, and the envoys obeyed and communicated with outsiders.

That day was March [-]th, Yang Siwen asked: "Where is the gymnasium?" Xiao Wang said: "It's in the south of the city." Siwen paid back the money for the wine, went downstairs, and rushed to the gymnasium to find Han Sihou.When I arrived at the museum road, I saw Su and Xu Erzhangyi looking around in front of the museum gate.Both of them were acquaintances in the old days, and they knew Siwen. They came up to sing, and returned the ceremony.Asked: "Brother Yang, where did you come from?" Siwen said: "I'm here to find my brother Han Zhangyi." The two said: "I can write in it, let's go in and call him out." Then they went in and called Han Zhangyi. Yi went out to the front of the museum.When Siwen saw Han Zhangyi, he hurriedly bowed down, one sad and one happy, it was meeting a friend in a foreign land, and meeting an old friend in Yanshan.Siwen asked Sihou: "Sister-in-law is happy?" Sihou heard it, and the two lines burst into tears, and told him: "Since the winter of Jingkang, I hired a boat with your sister-in-law to go to Huaichu. On the way to Xuyi, unfortunately, the arrow pierced the pole. In the hand, the saber is in the middle of the knife. My sister-in-law is worried about breaking the mirror in Lechang, and my brother is suffering from being entangled in prison. I was held captive in the wild village, and I came to three drums at night to confess my suffering. But I don’t know whether my sister-in-law is alive or dead. Later, a servant named Zhou Yi, who was lying in the grass, saw that Ersao was being forced by the captive Ba Taiwei. Ersao Yi was not humiliated, but killed herself with a knife. I will run around and return to my old job." Siwen asked. Said: "Did brother witness this matter?" Sihou said: "Zhou Yi personally reported this to me." Siwen said: "I'm afraid I won't die. This year's Lantern Festival, I saw my sister-in-law traveling with Mrs. Korea and having a banquet in Qinlou .Siwen sent Chen San'er upstairs to send a letter, and went downstairs to meet Siwen. What he said, he was with his elder brother. He also said that his elder brother returned to his old job. So far, he has not tolerated bigamy for four years." Sihou I can hear it, but I can't understand it.Siwen said: "It's easy to decide his life and death. Why don't you go to Tianwang Temple, in front of Mrs. Korea's house to inquire about it?" Two peers.

Suddenly, he walked to the back of Tianwang Temple.There was no one on the way, only an empty house, cobwebs of disciples, dust accumulated in the households, weeds filled the steps, green moss covered the ground, and the gate was locked.Yang Siwen said: "It's probably the back door." Walking along the wall for dozens of steps, there is only one family beside the wall.Seeing an old man knitting silk thread inside, he sang forward and said: "Old man, may I ask where the Korean lady's house can go?"The two asked him again and again, but they didn't know.

Suddenly, there was an old woman holding a rice basket, murmuring grievances and blaming the uncle.The two then sang with their mother-in-law. The mother-in-law is also a blessing, and her voice is like that of a Tokyo native.The two asked, "Where does Mrs. Korea live?" The mother-in-law was about to speak, but the uncle complained a lot.Regardless of the uncle, the mother-in-law said to the two: "The daughter-in-law is from Tokyo, and the uncle is a barbarian from Shandong. The old daughter-in-law is not happy. She is married to this beast. She doesn't know anything! Send some tea and rice every day. I don't think it's good or bad, and it's a win. I hate it. Why don't you just say something when the officials ask you a question?" The uncle couldn't stop moaning again.The mother-in-law didn't care about him, and said to the two: "Mrs. Han's house is locked in front of the Ling's house." They were surprised and asked, "Where is Mrs. Han?" The mother-in-law said: "Mrs. The family moved away, and Mrs. Han was buried in the garden. If the officials don't believe me, the daughter-in-law will go and have a look, okay?" The uncle said again: "Don't go in, the government knows, it will cause trouble and trouble me."
